A/N: Sheesh you guys! Sometimes I seriously think that you're being too
nice to me! But that's only a little bit and I realize that you aren't
just saying this to make me happy and that you really mean it. Selina, I
didn't write it but Sev took off the blinding and silencing spell when he
dispelled all the other hexes and curses. But he did take those off. I
finished that chapter rather late and I thought it would just kind of be
implied that they were taken off when the rest of the stuff was fixed. Oh
and Saavik, McGonagall will tell Ron, Herm and Ginny that's why I put that
in there because she would go to Gryffindor and let the three of them know.
Oh and Steph, HAHA YOU HAVE SCHOOL! :-P jk, I finished my finals and now
am on break until January 6th!!!!! But I have to work so be glad it's just
school. Now I'm sure you're all sick and tired of my rambling so I'll get
on with the next chapter since I know you all so desperately want it ;-)
NEways, ENJOY!!!!
Chapter 38
Severus made his way up to Dumbledore's office with barely contained fury. He practically knocked the door off its hinges when he came into the office. Dumbledore looked in his direction from the 5th year Slytherins and said,
"Ahh Severus, how is young Harry?"
"It was a close call Albus, but he'll live. He's currently still unconscious in his bed in my quarters with Draco sleeping next to him. These 3 did a number on him. It was almost as bad as he was when I brought him from the Dursleys."
"You mean that wasn't just a rumor?" Pansy stupidly blurted out.
Severus rounded on Pansy and didn't bother trying to hide his fury and he said in a low and forbidding and cold voice,
"No it was not and I have no idea how you found out about it but yes it is true. Harry's muggle relatives severely abused him and I took him out of that hell myself." Severus paused and continued,
"What astounds me is that you three in the amount of time that you did this act, almost did as much damage physically as the Dursleys did in almost 3 weeks.
"Harry was just starting to mentally recover from this and there's no telling how far back you've sent him."
Severus, having completed his statement directed his onyx gaze to Dumbledore who said,
"Severus would you care to tell me the extent of Harry's injuries?"
"Certainly Headmaster." Severus paused and drew in a breath and started,
"He had a hairline fracture in his skull, a broken arm, leg, collerbone, a shattered kneecap, several cracked ribs, there was also a blinding and silencing spell on him along with a pain intensifying curse along with several other curses that were slowly eating away at his tissue, cartilege and ligaments in his body."
Dumbledore sobered and sat back in his chair and adressed the three fifth year Slytherins,
"Do you have anything to say in your defense?"
Pansy remained stubbornly silent and Crabbe and Goyle didn't open their mouths either. After a minute Dumbledore sat forward and folded his hands on his desk and said,
"For this unwarranted attack on a student, one of your professors and your head of house's child no less, you are expelled. Now hand over your wands."
Dumbledore got up and came around the desk and took the 3 students wands and snapped them all in half. He tossed the halves into the fire. He turned and adressed his former students,
"You are to be escorted to your dormitories while I firewall your families. There you will collect your belongings and bring them up to the entrance hall where you will wait to be picked up. In the mean time I suggest you not try anything."
The 3 15 year olds nodded and Dumbledore pulled a bell and a house elf almost instantly appeared where Dumbledore gave it its orders and the elf lead the trio out.
Dumbledore went around his desk and sank heavily into his chair as Severus did in the chair in front of the Headmaster's desk. Both let out an audible sigh then Severus said,
"Albus I just don't get it. But then again I never have understood those three."
Dumbledore nodded and said,
"It's hard to imagine why a person would consciously commit such an act. I think it was just an ill attempt at releasing some pent up aggression. Harry, unfortunately, getting the brunt of it."
Severus nodded and said,
"Speaking of Harry, I should be getting back to him. I assume that Minerva has been notified and should be expecting my door to be knocked down by Mr and Miss Weasley and Granger?"
Albus quirked a small smile and said,
"You would be correct Severus, no go be with your son. I've got some calls to make."
Severus nodded and swept from the room just as Dumbledore threw in the powder calling out Crabbe's parents names.
Severus made his way down to his rooms and stepped in to hear absolute and total quiet. He walked into Harry's and Draco's room to see that neither boy had moved from their previous positions. Harry's situation of course was expected.
Severus walked silently over to Harry's bed and brushed a strand of the boy's bangs off of his forehead and lightly trailed his finger down the boy's cheek lingering over an already fading bruise.
Severus sank down into an armchair and thought back to working on Harry. The boy had been pretty bad off and Severus just wanted to do something highly illegal for how angry he was. He healed Harry's broken bones, given him potions to heal his ribs and head injury faster and re-build all the tissue and muscle that had been partially destroyed. Then there was the dispelling of the hexes and curses on him. The blinding and silencing spells were what really made him angry because that made Harry completely and totally defenseless, without any chance of calling out or running for help or being able to fight back.
Severus had only seen malice like this while in his servitude of Voldemort and that was grown men and women. Not teenagers. Severus wondered just how the Parkinson's, Crabbe's and Goyle's would react to this. They were all Death Eaters and slightly lower ranking than Severus was but not the lowest rank.
Severus thought with a grim smile that they would probably be proud that their child had a hand in 'teaching their Master's murderer' a lesson.
Severus shuddered to think what this was going to do to Harry mentally. Just when he was starting to do so much better and was making great strides in his dealings this had to happen. This was probably going to destroy the boy. He had been attacked by students.
Harry could easily deal with being attacked by Voldemort or Death Eaters but it really cut him deep to be attacked by his family or classmates.
Severus leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees and put his face in his hands and let out a long, frustraing and suffering sigh. Severus also knew that this was going to leave some physical scars. The boy's knee would probably always be sensitive from now on because the kneecap had been shattered and smashed to bits.
Severus knew that Madame Pomfrey couldn't have done better than what he had done. He felt horrible that he couldn't protect Harry enough to prevent this. He knew that something was going to happen. He always knew that the Slytherins wouldn't easily let things go.
Severus knew that it was no use dwelling on the past. What's done had been done and now it was time to pick up the pieces.
Severus cast a breif spell to make sure that everything was healing right and got up and walked to the main chamber and grabbed a book and brought it back, sat in the chair and started to read as he watched over his 2 sons.
A/N: I'm sorry, I know that was really short but I wanted to get this chapter up because I don't know if I'll be able to write for the next couple of days because I still have to do the research and type my paper for my choral literature final exam due on wednesday where I have to compare and contrast the Dies Irae movements of the Britten War Requiem and Verdi's Requiem. So I'm sorry if it was short and kind of pointless but this is what my brain told me to write so here it is. Now push the little button and tell me what you think but no flames, they'll be used to roast the marshmallows that my daddy bought yesterday at the grocery store. TTFN!!
