A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews
Frizzy-wow, I'm honored thank you, thanks to all those people who have put
me on their favorites list. That's a big honor to me, very big, and I
appreciate the kindness, even if I don't truly deserve it, I've never been
very confident of my writing.
Rickman's Girl-Oh yeah, Harry's for rocks, he won't show up in this story but it'll slowly come about. I read your story by the way, it rocks! I love the stone idea so they can talk to each other. The vegetables comment Snape made to Harry was so funny, I was dying. I'm thrilled your so interested in my story.
Lei Dumbledore-Chapter eight was good, it sounded weird hearing Malfoy call Snape Father, because I think he calls him dad in earlier parts, maybe not. Dunno, don't actually remember. Anyway thanks for all the reviews.
Frankie The Wonder Weiner Dog-Yes thank you for the grammar check, I'm sadly aware of how you spell Auror, it's not how I spell it, my computer has this way of correcting things I don't want it to, and I didn't pick it up. I hope you enjoyed the story though. The Phoenix thing was a mistake.
Illustrious Sorrow-Don't worry if you like Sirius went until you read the later chapters, they'll have Rickman's girl Fuming, as well as me, and you and my best friend Missy Cheering like Ron at a Quidditch game.
Okay 'nough babblin' enjoy the chappy.
Chapter Eleven--The Second Meeting
Harry and Emily decided they would sleep in their Father's Private chambers, in a small room he had set up for them, it was nice and there were two beds on either side of the room, along with two dressers and a night stand between the two beds. Both wanted to be near their father at the moment.
The four had played scrabble, a muggle game most of the night, before the twins headed off to bed, tomorrow was Saturday, giving them a chance to stay up a little later.
Harry got up slowly and walked towards his father, giving him a hug he smiled.
"I love you dad," he said. Severus smiled at this as he patted his son on the back. He smiled when his daughter joined the hug.
"I love you too kiddo," he said smiling. They separated, and both hugged Leanne then headed off to bed.
"I think they like you," Severus said as he sat down beside his girlfriend on the couch. She smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I think they like you too," she whispered. He chuckled.
"They better, I'm a vain father," he said smiling.
"Don't I know it, come on let's go to bed too," she said taking his hand.
"I'm not tired," he whined.
"I didn't ask if you were tired, I said let's go to bed, I have no intention of sleeping," he smiled from ear to ear and joined her in the bedroom.
~~~~~~~ (-oh god how corney it sounds right here-)
Severus was fast asleep with his arm wrapped around Leanne's waist when it was nearing one, and suddenly the Dark Mark on his arm began to burn with a fury. Cursing slightly he jumped out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Leanne asked.
"He's calling, go to Harry's room, he will surely have a nightmare, help him. He usually throws up, and has headaches, if he tells you anything, tell your father!" With that Severus was out the door.
However, Leanne didn't get to think about her boyfriend long before a scream broke the night silence. Running into the Twin's room she saw Harry crying and thrashing about. He was reliving a Craticus Curse. She gently sat down beside him and shook him gently. He woke up instantly and began crying in her arms.
~~~~~~~
Severus stood in the circle once more, his face covered by the mask, but terror deep in his heart. Voldemort stood in the middle, two men had already been killed for being alleged Traitors.
"This is what will happen if you are indeed a traitor. Now, I've recently found some news, we have contacts at Hogwarts, we can get in. I want Potter left to me. I will do him in my way. Now, for anyone else that decides they're too damn soft to do this speak for you are destined to die a painful death."
~~~~~~
It took twenty minutes to get Harry calmed enough to the point he could talk. He sat in Leanne's arms, Emily on the other side of him.
"Can you talk about it?" Emily asked.
"I saw Hogwarts, getting attacked, and I felt people being tortured. It was horrible," Harry whimpered.
"Yes it was," a voice came from the door way, there stood Severus, looking tired and horribly sick. He walked over to Harry and touched his forehead.
"You're warm Harry, Emily, could you go get me a cold rag?" The girl nodded and Harry looked at his father.
"Was it bad?"
"Yes, as bad as you saw, if not worse. Harry, you said you saw them in Hogwarts, what happened do you remember?" Severus asked sitting down on the other side of Harry.
"A little, I remember seeing Voldemort with someone, don't know who, it was someone in this school, I think he has someone on the inside." Severus looked at Leanne and nodded.
"Harry, do you know who it is?" Leanne asked.
"No, it's a woman." he whispered.
"Oh God," Severus knew instantly who it was, and to think he had once trusted the woman.
"Who is it?" Severus looked at Leanne.
"It's got to be Pomfrey, because most of the staff hates Voldemort for what he's done to their lives, and the Potters."
"Pomfrey, but she's." Leanne stopped.
"Exactly, she has gotten everyone to trust her, including Harry. I don't know what to do. Harry, your running a small fever, lay down, and I'll be right back," just as Severus was going out the door his daughter came in with a bowl of cold water and a wash cloth. Leanne smiled at her and slowly rung out the cloth, dabbing Harry's forehead.
To Harry it was amazing, the largest motherly touch he had ever truly had. He smiled slightly and watched her, her face was full of love for him. Just then Severus came back in and handed Harry a goblet full of some strange potion. Harry took a whiff of it and looked at his father.
"What is it?"
"Dreamless potion, drink it." Severus said.
"But it smells horrible," Harry responded.
"You know what, I don't care, it's not the smell, it's what it does," Severus rolled his eyes.
"I don't wanna drink it."
"Harry, don't make me pour into your mouth, you won't like it," Harry smiled as he and his father joked, then with a gulp Harry chugged the gritty drink down his throat. Grimacing at the taste when he handed the goblet back to his father.
"That was disgusting!"
"Name a medicine that taste good," Severus said as he took the cloth off his son's forehead and examined the boy's scar.
"How's your head?"
"Pounding."
"Yeah, well, just stay in here with Lea and Emily. I'll be back soon," bending over Severus placed a kiss on Harry's forehead. Then standing up he kissed both his daughter and Leanne then left the chambers.
~~~~~~
"Severus, you haven't any proof," Dumbledore spoke.
"Albus, the woman, I'm telling you, she's the inside job."
"Severus, sit down. I understand your need to protect your family, and I do not doubt what Harry saw. However, I cannot go on that alone and fire the woman."
"No one even likes her!" Severus yelled.
"Severus, listen to me, you are a grown man, act like one. I understand what you are saying, and I will watch her. However, I'm not going to go and fire the woman without a reason."
"Fine," Severus yelled, however Albus' fiercest voice stopped him before he could storm out.
"Do not go there trying to stop her, or warn her. I will not have you hurt, you have a family Severus, and I will not place their lives in danger."
"Albus, the woman is dangerous."
"And you're not? Severus, Remus is dangerous as well, but he's going to be working here for as long as I can keep him. Severus, please do not get yourself hurt, you are important to this school and your family, and my family."
"All right," Severus said, and then stormed out of the room and downstairs.
~~~~~~~
"You could really use a break; I think we should take the kids to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade."
"With Voldemort out there," Severus said, as he sat in front of Leanne, she was running her hands through his hair as he tried to relax.
"Sevi, you need to calm down, you can't protect them forever."
"No, but at least I can try, besides I just got them," He joked.
"Yeah well, your children need space."
"They're outside playing, what do you call that."
"Refined space," Leanne joked. Severus smiled as he turned around and began to kiss her. He sighed, reaching his hand out for a control to his hidden stereo he pushed what he was sure was the on button and smiled as romantic music came on. He had somehow bewitched the sound system and hooked it up.
--Yet another Author's Note: I realize the human technology doesn't work, but who says that wizards don't have cool stuff like that! I'm getting busy with acting again, I'm in guys and Dolls at school, so I'll do my best usually I post early mornings, but I'm going to try and sleep in more often now, at least until 6, so they may be a little slower to get up. BTW if Rickman's Girl or Lei Dumbledore could email me, or anyone who reads this and is very good with the Severtius Challenges, I need to ask you some questions and bounce ideas off you, please email me at Smallone86@wideopenwest.com I'd really like the little bits of help.--
