Me: Hello everyone! It's been quite a while, has it been not? Sorry, a lot has happened.
A quick summary: took the liver procedure leading to respiratory failure then a coma, woke up about three weeks later, got another surgery on my leg resulting with a bad leg as nerve damage including my right hand (will take longer to update), physical therapy, and now my mother returned from staying at the hospital and I'm trying to take care of her.
So, that's what has happen...so far.
To those who reviewed, I'm grateful to read them and yes, I normally type who left the reviews but since the coma, memory has gotten fuzzy and not sure where the reviews begin so next chapter (hopefully) I'll be able to type them once again...if my nerve damage hand allows me. Anyway, end my summary and enjoy this long waited update.
-Headmaster Office-
Within an hour, Albus was sitting at his desk while Sirius, Remus and James, who floo over ten minutes ago, were sitting on the right. Severus and Lily were sitting on the left while the children were staying at the Snape's quarters.
"So, you and Harry have been living in America…with Snape?" said Sirius and Lily nodded.
"And Harry's a fire caster and the fifth champion for the tournament?" said Remus and Lily nodded again.
"Bloody hell," Sirius murmured while Remus stayed silent.
Severus sneered, "Is that all you can say, Black?"
"Shut it, Snivellus!" James snapped then turned his attention to Lily, "I'm sorry I mistreated Harry wrongly, please give me a second chance."
Lily narrowed her eyes, "What about your current wife?"
"Alina? I only married her because I needed someone to raise Alex. My heart belongs to you, and only you," said James.
Lily gritted her teeth, "Then why did you remarried?! You even have a son with her! Are you going to abandon him now?!"
"What? Of course not! I'll never abandon my son!" said James.
"And what you were planning to do with Harry wasn`t? You're no saint, Potter," said Severus.
"Stay out of this, Snivellus!" snapped James and was about to hit Severus when Sirius stopped him. "Padfoot?"
Sirius sighed, "Enough is enough, Prongs. We're not children anymore so stop calling Sev that god awful nickname."
James stunned, "Wha – What's wrong with you, Siri? Snivellus is an untrusted, dark wizard! He's a bloody Death Eater!"
"Shut that arrogant mouth of yours or I'll shut it for you!" snapped Sirius.
"W-Wha? Moony, what's going on here?!" said James.
Remus crossed his arms, "What's going on? What's going on with you?! You and the Order know that Severus was a spy, pretending being Riddle's follower. It was because of Severus we were able to save so many lives during the first war!"
James eyes widened, couldn't believe what he's hearing. Angrily, he jerked his arm from Sirius' hold, taking out his wand and pointed at Severus. "What did you do, Snivellus? Wha – Albus! Give me back my wand!"
Albus simply placed James' wand into his robes. "Now, Sirius, when did you and Remus become friends with Severus?"
"It was Christmas during our last year," started Sirius. "I wanted to cool off so I went to the lake where I spotted Sev, alone. At first, I was going to tease him a bit but then…
"Mum, why? Why didn't you – who's there?! Come out now!" said young Severus.
Young Sirius stepped out from a tree. He sheepishly waved, "Hey…um Snape."
Severus jumped from the ground, "Black! I don't want to deal with you or whatever prank you planning to do! Leave me alone!"
Sirius held his hands up in a defensive manner. "Easy there Snape. I'm not going to prank you. Um, actually…I was curious about your mum. What's wrong with her?"
Severus looked at him, strangely as this was the first time Sirius was being…civil. He sighed and looked away, "So what if you're curious. We're not friends so I don't have to tell you anything… besides if I did, you're going to use it against me."
Sirius eyes widened as he can see the first time the hurt in the Slytherin's eyes. He looked down and slowly feel ashamed on he treated Lily's former friend. Sirius placed his hand over his heart and raised his arm, "Snape, I promise whatever you say will not be used against you."
Severus stepped back before looking down, "…my mum…she passed away…she's all I have left beside Lily. My blasted father – he's going to make my life a living hell!"
"But…this is our final year, you can move out or something," said Sirius then remembered that Severus doesn't have much money.
Severus sighed, "Look, I know…you're trying to help, but my mum was able to save a bit of money for me so…thanks, Black."
Sirius bit his lower lip, "…you know, my mum's abusive to me, mentally and threatens to disown me if I don't follow in their pureblood beliefs. All of my family were in Slytherin…"
"Throughout the break, Sev and I would be at the lake and talk about anything. Moony joined in not soon after," said Sirius.
"We sort of became friends at the end," Remus sighed, "We were going to tell you James, but you never gave us a chance."
James gritted his teeth, "Never trust a snake! What if Snape was lying to you? What could a muggle do to Snape?!"
Lily stood in front of James, "Muggles could do many things without magic, Potter. Or have you forgotten where I come from?"
James stepped back and started to stutter, but couldn't say anything. He only has one counter, "Snivellus' dark! He was a Slytherin where all dark wizards come from, remember?"
"James, enough!" said Albus, seriously. "Have you forgotten Peter Pettigrew, a Gryffindor who betrayed you and your family?"
"He didn't! He was killed!" argued James, angrily. He pointed at Severus, "You ruined my family and turned my best mates against me! You don't deserve to be with Lily – my Lily! She should've stayed with me, then I wouldn't have married Alina!"
"What?!"
That's when Alina pulled off the invisibility cloak and had tears coming down but in her eyes was filled with rage.
"Wha – Alina?! What are you doing here?" James asked, nervously.
Alina crossed her arms, "I was visiting Sirius and Remus with Emile when they got your… message about Lily and need their help to get her back. I went with them, but not after dropping Emile with Alex."
"Alina, please – Albus! Did you know about this?!" said James.
"I did," said Albus, placing his hands under his chin. "In fact, it was my idea for her to get the cloak and stay hidden. I wanted to know where your heart truly lies, and it seems that only jealousy and hatred lies within…I'm extremely disappointed in you James."
"Albus…" started James.
"Enough! Lord Potter, apologize to the Snape's this instant!" Albus interrupted.
Acting like a five-year-old, James looked down with a red face before murmuring an apology. That's when Alina walked over to him, "Alina, please understand…I – I…Alex needed a mother…and-and…"
Alina narrowed her eyes before raising her hand and – slap!
James stood in disbelieve while placing his hand on his cheek.
"How dare you used me, Potter! I thought…all this time…that we spent together…it was all a lie," sobbed Alina, angrily. James tried to hug her, but she pushed him away. She looked over at Albus, "Thank you…all of you. Now if you would excuse me."
"If you need anything, just let me know," said Albus. Alina nodded, sadly before walking out from the office.
"We'll take our leave as well," Lily turned to Sirius, "Come along. I bet the boys are dying to see you two after a year has passed."
Sirius and Remus grinned and followed Lily out of the office.
Severus looked at Albus strangely, "Why…are you siding with me this time? You always favorited the Gryffindors…favorited – praised Potter's horrible pranks…"
Albus sighed, "I made many mistakes Severus. And I apologize for what you had to endure when you were a student. I hope through time you can forgive me."
"Thank you, Headmaster," Severus bowed, showing some respect to his old professor. He then turned to James, "And you…"
James glared at Severus.
"Throw that arrogance out from your ass and clean that filth in your bloody eyes!" snapped Severus. "Get this in your thick skull: you don't deserve everything you want, Potter! Grow up!"
James gritted his teeth but stayed silent. Albus then handed his wand back and left the office cursing, silently.
Severus said farewell to Albus before leaving the office as well. He entered in his quarters to find Sirius in his animagus form while his daughter was riding on him, laughing. Emile was clapping, sitting on his mother's lap while Lily was comforting Alina and Remus was talking to his sons and Alex.
-Nov. 22, morning-
Looking around the Great hall, Alex spotted his half-brothers at their table, eating with Yusei and Vienna. The auburn teen dashed over to them, "Harry, I need to speak with you."
"Mm, sure. Yus, tell the others I'll be outside," said Harry.
Yusei nodded.
Quickly, Alex dragged Harry out of the Great Hall, straight to the grounds. The auburn teen stopped when they reached to the Black Lake, letting go of Harry's arm and started pacing.
"Alright, what's wrong?" asked Harry, rubbing his arm.
Alex took a deep breath, "Dragons! They're going to use dragons in the first task!"
Harry frowned, "How did you find out?"
"Ron," replied Alex. "He told me to meet Hagrid last night where he showed me and Headmistress Maxine the dragons."
"Dragons," murmured Harry, tapping his chin. "They're only use is protection cause they're immune to all spells and their scales are hard as rock."
"So, the dragons will be protecting something, and we need to get it?" said Alex.
"Most likely," said Harry, thinking some ideas. "Going to tell Cedric? Headmistress Maxine will notify Fleur."
"I will at lunch," said Alex before panicking. "But I got nothing to protect myself against a bloody dragon…um, why are you making that creepy face?"
Harry smirked, "Oh nothing. Just…you'll be busy for the next two days."
Alex was confused as Draco and the others join them. Without turning around, Harry addressed his twin, "Dray, go to the library to see if they're any possible spells to affect a dragon. Take Ron, Hermione, Vienna and Roxanne."
Draco saluted, "On it bro. Let's go guys!"
"Yusei, Shun, Sally, and Sora, find useful potions we might need," said Harry as the first group left. "Go to my dad or our Headmistress."
"Yes sir!" saluted Sora then left with her group to find either professors.
"Dan, bring the dragons," said Harry as the brunette nodded and left. "Marucho, you'll be taking notes and see what we need to improve."
"On it," Marucho said, starting a digital screen after switching his glasses to his magical ones.
"Um…why's Dan bringing – WHY ARE YOU RESIZING YOUR DRAGON?!" said Alex, getting nervous upon seeing Blaze going to his real size.
"Training," replied Harry, crossing his arms. "You'll need to outsmart a dragon, out speed them, think fast on your feet and mind. We'll be using my friend's dragons for practice and be switching since dragons have different speed and abilities."
"H-How do you know all of that?!" asked Alex, nervously.
"Experience. Now shut up and pay attention!" said Harry as his dragon was preparing to throw a fireball at him.
-First task, Nov 24-
"Ah, good day champions," said Albus, happily. "Gather around everyone. Now you waited…"
'Nope!' thought the Evans brothers.
"…you wondered…"
'Not us!'
"…and at last, the moment has arrived," finished Albus.
That's when Bagman step forward with a silk purple bag. "Right champions, form a circle around me if you please," he said.
Fleur and Olympe stood by Bagman's left; Viktor and Igor stood by Olympe's left; Harry and Jayden stood in front of Bagman while Cedric and Alex stood by Bagman's right.
"Good. Now Miss Delacour, if you would," said Bagman, opening the purple bag where a puff of smoke came out. Fleur looked nervously at the bag before reaching out to the bag and took out a mini green dragon. "Ah a Common Welsh Green," he said before moving on.
"Mr. Krum?" Bagman said, offering the bag to him. Viktor reached out and grabbed whatever his hand can get a hold of which was a scarlet red and golden dragon. "Ah a Chinese Fireball," he said, moving on again. "Mr. Diggory?"
Cedric reached out to the bag and took out a silvery blue dragon. "A Swedish Short-Snout," said Bagman, happily. "Mr. Snape?"
Harry slowly reached out to the purple bag and carefully grabbed a dragon, a metallic grey-silver one. "Oh! A Ukrainian Ironbelly," said Bagman, excitedly before moving on. Harry looked closely at the mini Ironbelly before scratching the dragon's head. He could faintly hear the dragon's purr, telling him that she likes it.
"Mr. Potter?" said Bagman, offering the bag to the last champion.
'There's only that one dragon,' thought Alex, taking a deep breath and reached out to the bag, taking out a black and lizard-like dragon. "The Hungarian Horntail," said Bagman in awe.
Alex stood still as he couldn't believe he was going to face against the most dangerous dragon known to Britain. And his brother must face against the largest dragon in record.
'Fate loves to toy with us,' thought Alex, miserably.
"Now, these dragons represent real ones and each of them was given a golden egg to protect," said Bagman. "Your objective: collect the egg. You need to do so as the egg contains a clue for the second task."
"Freaking fantastic," murmured Harry.
"Well, good luck to you all," said Albus, leaving the tent with Jayden, Igor and Olympe.
"We've selected who shall go first and Mr. Diggory, you're up!" Bagman said, leading Cedric out of the tent.
After 20 minutes, Alex was getting nervous upon hearing the shouting and his curiosity took over. He peeked out from the opening to see Cedric was trying to sneak behind the dragon while she was being distracted from some transformed wolves.
Unfortunately, Cedric slipped and got the dragon's attention.
As Alex watched the older Hufflepuff dodged the incoming fireball, the auburn teen jumped upon feeling a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see his brother with a worried look.
"You alright?" asked Harry.
"N-No! Even with the training you had me do!" replied Alex. "How can you be so calm?! We're about to face two dangerous dragons!"
Harry sighed, "You need to calm down or the dragon will sense you – like how Blaze did!"
"R-Right," said Alex.
"Remember, let the dragon know that you mean no harm to her and her eggs," said Harry just as he was being called. "Well, I'm off."
Alex nodded, silently and watched Harry walk calmly out of the tent. The auburn teen could see the Ironbelly's true size – she's as big as the field.
Slowly, Harry approached to the dragon and sat down on a nearby boulder. He waited until the dragon sense his presences.
The Ironbelly growled at the trespasser and was about to fire when she smelled a somewhat familiar scent. The scent…it belongs to a dragon, but what kind and why?
Harry laughed, "I'm guessing you're smelling my partner's scent, correct?"
The Ironbelly titled her head.
"Here, take a sniff," offered Harry his hands.
The crowd gasped upon seeing the large dragon lowering her head to Harry's head. The crowd minus the academy students were tensed and nervous until the dragon started…licking Harry?
'Freaking hell! Dragon saliva is hard to wash off!' Harrythought then points at the eggs. "Listen, I'm here to remove a fake egg in your nest."
Ironbelly quickly went to her nest and sniffed all five eggs. Four of them were hers, but the one in the middle wasn't. She growled at the fake egg and was about to crush it when she felt a nice scratch behind her ear.
'Good thing I remember the sensitive spot,' thought Harry, recalling Professor Haddock's lessons. The young Snape waited until the Ironbelly dropped down, calmly and asleep.
The crowd of students and the judges (minus Jayden) were complete silent. The academy students were cheering for their top classmate.
Sora grinned, "I knew he's going to be okay."
"Well, he's well experience with dragons," said Hermione.
"But what about Alex? He only had two days of training!" worried Ginny.
"Hey, easy there little red," said Draco. "Sure, he only had little training, but he did fairly well. He'll be alright. Just give him your support with a smile."
Ginny smiled, softly, "Yea, okay."
"Bloody hell! Harry got the highest score!" said Ron. Draco and the others looked up to the judges table to see that Harry's score was 50 points while Cedric has 46 points.
Roxanne smirked, "And with that, the tournament has already ended."
Back in the tent, Alex was in awe after seeing how his little brother dealt with the largest dragon. The auburn teen snapped out from his daze as Fleur stepped out as she was next.
Alex wished her luck and quietly sat down, closing his eyes. While Fleur and Viktor were dealing with their dragons, Alex was mediating to relax until it was his turn…with a little help from Harry.
-St. Mungo's, night-
Nurse Lana was finishing her duties when she heard a soft moan. Curious, she walked over to her patient before gasping and ran out to the doorway.
"Healer Joana! Healer Joana! Lady Malfoy is finally waking up!"
Meanwhile, Narcissa Malfoy, wife to Lucius Malfoy placed her hand over her head as she felt dizzy and weak. She feels her body heavy, but with the little strength she had, she looked around to see she wasn't home.
Where's Lucius and her precious baby?
That's when Healer Joana and Nurse Lana walked over to her side.
"Well, I'm glad you're awake, but you're in no condition to be sitting right now," said Joana as she guided Narcissa to lie down. Narcissa was about to ask something, but her throat was so dry.
Joana casted the diagnose spell on her and looked over at her readings. She nodded, "Well, Lady Malfoy, despite being in a coma, your vital signs are rather good minus your weight. But don't worry, we'll work on that."
Narcissa was in shock. Many questions were going through her head.
Joana smiled, "Try to relax."
Narcissa nodded, silently. Healer and nurse left the room, leaving Narcissa to her thoughts.
'Why can't I remember what happen and why was I in a coma? How many days, weeks, months has passed? Who's been taken care of my baby boy? Was it Severus? Oh, I can't wait to hold my baby boy again!'
-Break Line-
So, what you guys think?
