Disclaimer 2: I own the plot, Saerry Snape, Aeyr's, and the Snapes being Slytherin's Heirs. Nothing more, nothing less.
A/N: At last! That blasted explanation of how Voldie survived. *scowl* Its been eluding me but now I've caught it. *ties the explanation to the chapter and duct tapes, nails, staples, chains, ties, and glues down* THERE!
Tidmag – Not to my knowledge but then again, my hands do have a mind of their own. *chuckle*
Neried – The Abscondo Charm disguised Harry completely. So even the Map thought he was 'Harry Potter'. But it changed as soon as the Charm was taken off as Harry wasn't disguised anymore. ^^ *bows low* Yessss massssster.
Phoenix6545 – *laugh* Too true.
Charm – Yes they do don't they? *scowls at hands* New chapter? I shalt give thee a new chapter! ^-^
Erieka127 – Like I said, my hands have minds of their owns and have refused pointblank to explain how Voldie survived. But they will now. ^^ Ah, my AOL name is in my profile and is the same as my name. Saerry Snape.
Kaijinya Battousai – Thank you. And I will! Eventually. When my hands decide to wreak revenge. *glares at Voldie-bunny then begins to chase him, yelling something about rabbit stew*
Cresha Potter – Why thank you. ^_^
Chapter 62 **In Dumbledore's Office**
Madam Pomfrey professed Severus well enough to leave the hospital wing the next day and he did just that, escorting Harry out before him. The two immediately set off to Dumbledore's office.
Severus muttered the password and they went up the moving stairs as the gargoyle leapt aside. The door at the top of the stair was open so they went on inside. They were greeted by a strangely pale but overjoyed Saerry, who clung to them and wrung their necks with her hugs.
Severus grasped her wrists as she tried to cling to him again and gently pushed her back. "Saer, you are going to kill us if you keep doing that."
Saerry flushed and said, "Sorry Sev, Harry. I'm just happy to see you two again. Remus has refused to let me out of his sight since the last transformation." She cast a smile at the other werewolf, who was looking gray. Remus smiled back at her and Severus narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Really . . ."
Saerry growled, "Oh hush Sev."
"You can't . . ."
"Hush."
The two siblings glared at each other for a moment before Saerry won over and Severus sighed. Harry looked between the two of them then at Remus, who was looking at them with an amused expression on his face. Then it hit him.
Saerry and Remus were (of all things possible) together!
Harry was amused by the thought yet surprised at the same time.
His father seemed to have caught on as well and was scowling furiously in Remus' direction.
Dumbledore coughed and said, "Severus, if you please."
Severus started and stared at the older wizard. He said, "Hmm?"
"If you would relate what you told me, it would serve well."
"Ah. Yes."
Severus coughed then said, "Voldemort isn't dead."
Sirius started and growled, "But Harry hit him with the Killing Curse!"
Severus started to say something when Dumbledore broke it. "I believe I may have a theory for Voldemort's seeming immunity to the Killing Curse. If," he cast a glance about the room then continued, "If you are willing to listen to an old man's musing."
Harry smiled and said, "Of course we are Professor." He frowned at Sirius, who looked ready to protest, and growled, "Aren't we Sirius?"
Sirius toppled under the fierce gaze and muttered, "Yea, sure." He slouched in his chair, the perfect image of a surly schoolboy. Remus snorted and shook his head in amusement.
"We will listen."
Saerry nodded and echoed Remus. "Did you think we wouldn't listen, Albus?"
Dumbledore gave a little shrug. "Perhaps you are tired of an old man's little ideas . . ."
"No!"
"Never!"
Dumbledore smiled at them and said, "Alright. My theory has something to do with the events at the end of last year." He turned his bright blue eyes on Harry and the boy stiffened, the Third Task flashing through his mind's eye. Both Severus and Sirius looked worriedly at him and each placed a hand on his shoulders. They glared at each other for a moment then looked back at Harry, who was shaking his head. He looked up at them and said, "I'm okay."
The two men looked skeptical. Harry growled, "I'm fine."
Severus nodded and gently patted his shoulder. Sirius smiled and hugged him reassuringly before leaning back in his chair.
Harry looked up to meet Saerry and Remus' worried gazes and smiled. He turned to Dumbledore and said, "Go on Professor."
Dumbledore arched an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure Harry?"
"Yes."
"Well then. I believe that you, Harry, not only are the only person to survive Avada Kedavra but also the only person immune to the curse."
Sirius drawled, "Meaning . . . ."
"Harry cannot be killed by it."
Remus said, "Which mean Voldemort cannot either as he has Harry's blood in him now."
Harry shivered at the thought then asked, "So, he can't be killed by the Killing Curse. Can he at all?"
Dumbledore nodded. "Voldemort returned mortal. He can be killed like anyone else."
"Just not very easily," said Harry.
"Exactly."
Harry sighed and Saerry said, "I thought this was just a theory."
Dumbledore said, "It is."
"We could always try this theory out," suggested Sirius.
Harry blinked at him while Severus and Saerry fixed him with twin glares. Sirius held up his hands and said, "Hey, it's a joke!"
Harry frowned then shook his head, chuckling. He looked at his godfather and said, "Joke's like that are going to get you killed Sirius."
Sirius looked from Severus to Saerry and grumbled, "Yea, I know . . ."
Harry laughed then snapped, "Oh stop it, Dad, Saerry. Sheesh, you'd think you two didn't have a sense of humor."
Severus frowned and stiffly said, "I don't."
"Oh, this from the man that planned pranks to pull with me and Saerry."
Sirius and Remus looked at each other then at Severus, arching their eyebrows.
Remus said, "Pranks?"
Sirius sniffed and said, "I never thought I'd see the day you'd drop to our 'low level of idiocy' as you called it in school."
Severus scowled. "I haven't."
Saerry reached over and slapped the back of his head.
"OW!" He looked flabbergasted at Saerry and growled, "What was that for!"
"Lying."
"I did not lie!"
"Sev . . ."
"I refuse to lower myself to the level of these idiots."
Saerry and Harry traded a glance then cheerfully cried, "TOO LATE!" They fell back into their chairs laughing while Severus scowled at them. He muttered, "See if I help you two again."
Saerry got herself under control and reached out to pat his leg. "Oh, c'mon Sev. We're just joking with you."
"Hmphf."
Harry chuckled then scowled at Severus, affecting the same look as him. He crossed his arms, gave his father a sideways look, then muttered, "See if we help you again."
Severus groaned and put his head in his hands. "You two are going to kill me."
Saerry grinned and said, "Nope, just annoy you."
Harry grinned as well and piped, "A lot!"
Severus shook his head and moaned, "Why me?"
Sirius and Remus grinned at each other and laughed while Dumbledore smiled, his blue eyes twinkling as he watched them.
A/N: YES! I FINALLY GOT THE RUDDY EXPLANATION IN THERE! *dances happily* And yes, that is the real explanation even if ole' Albus says it's a theory. ^^ Also, Remus and Saerry are together. They have been since the rescue attempt. ^-^ Annnnnd, I don't know. I have nothing else to say yet my fingers keep typing. *whacks fingers* STOP IT! *hand comes up and slaps her cheek* Urgh….
