CHAPTER 7
Pain and Telling the Truth

Clairese ran over to Severus' side.
"Honey, are you okay? Can you hear me? Severus?" She reached down. He was still alive, but knocked out. She walked over to the fire. Clairese had undeniable baby blue eyes, and fair tan skin. She was extremely pretty, and kind. In everyone's 5th year nobody could believe it when her and Professor Snape got married. But she had taught him a lot of things. Number one was how to be kind to all living things outside of school. Another was how to raise a child from a small baby, instead of letting the caretaker of the child do it all. As she looked down into the fire she spoke choking a little.
"Albus' office." She frowned then looked back to Severus lying there. His right hand was over his left arm.
"Yes, Clairese, what may I help you with?" Albus smiled, but then saw the look on Clairese's face. "Something wrong?"
"Yes, Albus, Severus is on the floor, and I can't lift him up, I need Poppy... Now... Please."
"Remain calm Clairese. Please, Severus has been through a lot. This is one reason why I called you in. So, please, be gentle."
Clairese's face became shallow, and her mouth dropped, then her eyes got wide.
"Severus has been through a lot? Albus, what has my husband not told me?????" Clairese looked at her husband, and then to the head in the fire. "Please. I want to know."
"Clairese, Poppy is on her way....but I think it should be in the best interest that he tells you."
"Albus, please, I want to know. What has my husband gotten into?"
Clairese had her hand across her stomach; she had a tear falling down from her baby blue eyes. Her emerald green dress was glinting in the firelight.
"Clairese, why don't you go to the hospital wing with your husband, and then lay down and get some rest."
"Albus..." Just then Poppy came in. She muttered 'Innervate' then asked for Clairese to help her take Severus to the hospital wing. He was in a daze and muttering things that made no sense what-so-ever. Until he looked at Clairese and then saw the tear.
"Clairese, what the bloody hell is that? A speck of Hydrogen with Sodium Chloride?" He asked pointing to the tear. Clairese smiled then looked at Poppy, who rolled her eyes and then urged them to continue.
About ½ way to the wing, he said something that made Clairese slowly turn her head and look at her husband.
'Yes and you wouldn't believe what I found out...I have...a...son. Yea, a son! Ha! The nerve of those people. Me, have a son....Not possible!'
"Severus, a boy? Who? What? How?"
"Clairese, your husband needs to get to a bed, then afterwards, he'll tell you, or the headmaster will."
Clairese nodded, what she really wanted to do was scream. Ask what everyone else knew that she didn't. Which she was usually the first one.
The night was extremely long, and tiring. Every hour Poppy came in and checked on him. About the 3rd hour, Draco Malfoy came in carrying a girl. Clairese immediately knew who it was. Mortania.
"Madam Pomfrey, I just walked in the common room because she said she was going to go lay down because her scar was hurting, and I found her on the couch, she wouldn't respond. Will she be okay?"
"Mister Malfoy, she'll be fine, put her on that bed over there." Madam Pomfrey pointed to the bed across the room from Severus. Draco nodded then re-adjusted his grip on her.
&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&
About 3 hours later, Mortania came to and then got up. As she was getting ready to walk out Madam Pomfrey stopped her.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"My Dormitory, so I can sleep comfortably. Now, if you will move before I get mad, I will be very grateful."
"Let me just give you a small check-up."
"I am fine."
"Well, I'll be the judge of that." She started examining Mortania then nodded. As she stood there she looked at The Dark Lord's daughter. "Well, if you ever feel dizzy again, come straight up here."
"I will," Mortania started walking away, she then muttered nonchalantly "not."
************&&&&&&&&****************&&&&&&&&&&&&***************&&&&&&&&&&&&& &
Albus Dumbledore walked in and asked to see Clairese at about 6:30 p.m. She of course agreed. And as she was following him out he turned to look at her.
"Clairese, how have things been? You look like nothing happened. That is, in your appearance."
"Thank you Albus, time has been golden for you also."
"Ah, yes, time...." He pulled out a watch. A pocket one, this one had numbers and on the big hand, he had a moon, on the small one, there was a star. He then smiled. "Artemus Sinistra gave this to me, she said that it'd be really handy in the near future. Always thinking ahead she is."
Clairese suppressed a giggle it was the first time since she'd had the Gryffindors and Slytherins. Albus looked at her, and with a twinkle in his eyes he spoke.
"Clairese, Severus has indeed a son. What he said earlier was true. The answers to your questions lie in Navy Blue and Emerald Green eyes. For his son has a twin. As do most of the kids here lately."
"You don't mean Sheridan Lillian Damaris Snape? Do you?"
"Yes, that is the set of Navy Blue eyes."
"And Emerald green, the only person I can think of, is...Harry."
"Ah, right again. Of course, Severus only found out this morning, a strange letter arrived from Lily, and needless to say, Harry and Sheridan were given a puzzle. Sheridan, has to find out who in the Gryffindor house is her sibling. Whereas Harry, has to find out who in the Slytherin House is his sibling."
"Sounds like something Lily would demise to set up. If I remember correctly, that's about what she did, puzzles, riddles, stuff like that."
"Correct again you are. But the puzzle she's left for you...that's intriguing. I do say so myself, I have taken a look at it. She wants you to pick up all the pieces. She wants you to be the answer to all questions. Here is a note explaining everything. She wrote it, as usual. And you can't share this with a soul."
"Albus, I am already lost. Okay, I am seriously...confused." She looked at the letter then put it in her cloak. She then looked up to Albus, whom was holding a plum coloured bag.
"Lemon Drop?" He held the bag out to her; she reached in and took one out.
"Thank you Albus."
"Anytime Clairese."
