Harry Potter and the Pissed Off P.M.
Chapter 13:
What lies with in
Giving out a lengthy yawn, leaning back in his chair and propping his feet up on his desk; Harry was seriously thinking about taking a nap. The lunch he had with Draco was simply fulfilling. The man really knew how to treat someone to lunch.
He was half way into his nap when something rather small and black flew through the open window and collided with Harry's head; sending him to the ground with a surprised yelp.
Peering over the top of his desk, Harry saw a hyperactive black ball of feathers jump around the desktop. The black ball of feathers was named Albus, after the Headmaster.
What most people didn't know was that Severus had a soft spot for cute small things, like Harry and the blue eyed owl that now made Harry's head his perch.
"Leave it to Severus to have a hyperactive owl named Albus." Harry mumbled as he stood, making the little owl on his head give out a startled hoot. "Don't you dare fall asleep up there." The wizard warned and Albus rustled his black feathers, irritated that he was caught doing just that.
Sighing the dark haired wizard shuffled through the mess of papers on his desk, looking for the letter Albus dropped. Finding it, Harry unrolled the parchment to see Severus's sharp elaborate scroll.
Harry,
My meeting with You-Know-Who went well. I am unharmed, but I advice you to come to Hogwarts. Do you have any vacation time? If you do, use it!
My brother has returned and has brought company with him. Please arrive as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you at the main entrance.
Severus
With a deep frown set on his face, Harry, forgetting he had a small owl in his hair, left the ministry and headed straight for Hogwarts.
True to his word, Severus was waiting for Harry. Despite the fact he was glad to see the younger wizard, Snape's face was unreadable. "You are here earlier then I expected." He greeted with a firm yet loving kiss on Harry's lips. Pulling back he saw the frown on Harry's face just get bigger. Severus tilted his head in questioning.
"It must be bad news if you would kiss me so openly." Harry whispered, not looking Snape in the eye, more like the chest.
Wrapping his arms around the shorter man, Severus went to rest his chin on the dark mop top but stopped when he saw two small blue eyes peering over the unruly hair. "Albus," Severus rumbled a chuckle. "Go on. Go back home." Once the little back ball was gone, Severus held Harry tighter and rested his cheek on the top of his head. "The news is just," He whispered, "difficult."
"Tell me." Harry mumbled.
"Cynnus found your Godfather." The sharp intake of breath was not unheard by Snape. "Harry, look at me." When the bright green eyes looked to Severus's black ones, he added, "Black and Cynnus also found Remus."
Harry almost pulled away at those words, but Severus's strong arms held him in place.
"Are they hurt badly?" Harry asked.
Snape sighed. "Your Godfather is recovering fine, but Lupin is a different story. He's weak and does not know what's going on around him. Poppy has done everything she can for him, but has predicted that he won't make it." Severus stopped talking to brush the tears away from Harry's eyes. "I just thought you should know. I thought it would be best to tell you before you see him."
With a heavy heart, Harry pulled away and made his way through the front doors. Severus, not caring who saw him, took a hold of Harry's hand as they walked together to the infirmary.
***
"Hold him! Hold him!" Harry and Severus hear Madam Pomfrey yell over the other load screams and hisses.
Not wasting anytime, Harry and Severus ran the rest of the way to the infirmary. Bursting through the doors they were not prepared for the sight before them.
Sirius was desperately trying to hold back a slowly transforming Lupin, as he growled, advancing to the vampire crawling up the wall, hissing at the werewolf. Madam Pomfrey seemed like she had been knocked out just as they got their.
Hearing the door burst open, Sirius yelled at his godson, "Harry!" Which the moment he said his godson's named, he regretted it.
Lupin started transforming faster and turned his attention to Harry, who stumbled back and passed out as he reached up to touch his scar. Severus, by this time, steeped in front of Harry, with his wand pointing at the large werewolf.
"Remus," Sirius pleaded, feeling his grip slipping. "Please, stop." The werewolf relaxed and Sirius fought a sigh of relief.
The air in the room was heavy and thick. Severus still held his unyielding wand straight at Lupin. The tall dark man looked quickly around the infirmary. His brother still hung on the wall as if he was stuck to it and Sirius doing his best to subdue Remus.
What happened next no one was prepared for; the werewolf lunged forward, freeing himself from Black. The werewolf was headed straight for Severus and Harry, but before Severus could get out a spell, Cynnus launched himself off the wall and right into the werewolf's side, knocking them to the ground.
The vampire held Lupin down the best he could, avoiding snaps of his jaw, but one of the claws got him across the face. "I would like some help!" Cynnus yelled out as his vision swelled up with blood.
Severus's voice filled the room as he yelled, "Petrificus Totalus!" His aim was deadly, heading right for Lupin, but a bizarre thing happened; the black rock tied to Remus's neck started to glow and protected the werewolf from the spell, sending it at the string Madam Pomfrey.
"Shit!" Black hissed, rushing to help Cynnus pin down Lupin. "Severus, take that damn thing off of him!"
Nodding his understanding, Severus moved away from Harry and the werewolf knew why he was coming his way. He snapped and growled every time the other twin Snape tried to get close to the necklace. Finally, getting fed up; Severus, in one swift motion, grabbed the werewolf's bottom jaw. Tilting the head back, he got a good grip on the necklace and snapped it off.
All three men relaxed when the werewolf gave out a pitiful moan as it slowly turned back into Remus Lupin.
Weakly and painfully, Remus reached up to the vampire's face and stroked the clawed face. "Am sorry." He whispered just as he passed out.
***
"Harry," He knew that silky baritone voice. "Wake up, Harry."
"Professor Snape, just five more minuets and then I'll go down to your class." He mumbled into the pillow in his bed that oddly smelled like the hospital wing.
"Mr. Potter," Severus grinned like a chestier cat. "If you do not get up this instant, I will deduct a hundred points from Gryffindor and for detention you will have to wear Ms. Grangers' uniform the entire week."
"Even the skirt?" Sirius asked, as Harry mumbled something oddly sounding like 'Been there, done that'.
"Really Severus," Said another voice, identical to his twins voice. "A girl's uniform?"
"Try threatening him with something else." Sirius grinned. "I want to see what he does."
"You must raise Mr. Potter or I'll have Draco take pictures of you in your new 'uniform' and send them to all the news papers." Severus used his best I'm Professor Snape voice and Harry just snuggled further into the covers.
"He seems to be immune." Sirius giggled.
Glaring, Severus turned back to Harry. Crawling in next to his young lover, Severus whispered into his ear. "Wake up, Harry." Then he continued to suck and kiss his way to Potters perfect lips, but still he did not wake.
"I don't want Professor Snape to catch us. He'll give us detention." Harry sleepily mumbled into Severus's lips.
Sighing, Severus pulled the pillow out from underneath Harry's head and lightly smacked him in the face, saying, "I am Professor Snape."
Lifting the pillow away, Severus saw a brightly awake and grinning Harry Potter, but then he remembered where he was. Severus saw Harry's face drop its color as the young wizard looked around the infirmary and saw Remus laid on the bed next to his.
"Harry?" Sirius maneuvered around both Snapes to get his Godson in to an embrace. The Snapes watched on as Harry peeked over his Godfathers shoulder to look at Lupin.
"Is he alright?" He asked lifeless, holding on to Sirius tighter.
"You-know-who had Remus under his control." Sirius whispered, looking sadly over at Cynnus. "We found out that the rock around his neck was draining him. Poppy says that, with time, he will get better, but we shouldn't hope."
"What's left if there is no hope?" Harry asked.
Closing his eyes, willing himself not to brake down, Sirius replied, "I truly don't know."
"I'm glad you're safe." Harry snuggled deeper in his godfathers embrace.
Severus watched Harry with Sirius and wished desperately he could comfort his young lover but he knew Harry needed time alone with his Godfather. Moving over to his twin, Severus put his arm around the vampire's shoulders. "Come brother. I have a feeling that the Headmaster will want an update on Lupin."
Nodding his head, Cynnus with Severus, walked out of the infirmary, leaving Sirius and Harry to comfort each other.
***
In the days that followed, Remus improved greatly. He was gaining his strength and appetite back. Harry and Sirius never left his side. The pair kept Remus occupied by telling him what has happened the almost two years he was gone.
Harry told stories about his Auror training and about the defense team he worked with at the Ministry. Sirius retold his memories when he was trapped as Padfoot. As they told their tales, Severus was currently up in the Headmasters office, arguing with Albus.
"Severus I will not have you go back to him." The blue eyes of the Headmaster bore into Severus's own. "Voldemort saw everything Remus did. He will not forget that you stood in his werewolf's way."
"Albus how will the Order get information if I do not go back to him?" Severus's hands were wrapped tightly around the arms of his chair.
"We will find another way." Albus sighed.
"So, that's it." Severus bowed his head. "I am of no use to you."
"Cut the dramatics my dear boy." The Headmaster lovingly chuckled. "You are still a member of the Order and you, Severus, are most needed."
"I do not see through your eyes, Albus." Severus sighed, pinching the bride of his nose. "I can not see what good I am if I am not your spy."
"My dear Severus," Albus smiled, plopping a Lemon Drop in his mouth. "Harry will be in need of you when this war has come to an end. He will need you more then anything." The older wizard smiled when Severus opened his eyes to stare at him in question. "Besides, you are still my Potions Professor and we will need your skills when this war hits hard."
***
After his meeting with the Headmaster, Severus made his way to the infirmary. He wanted to be the first to tell Harry that he was no longer Albus's spy; which he figured would make Harry's day.
When he entered the hospital wing the first thing Severus heard was, "I will not let him do this again." Harry stood by Lupin's bed as the werewolf slept on. He was talking to his Godfather.
"Harry," Sirius whined. "Don't do anything rash. You're only one man."
"I will stop him, Sirius." Harry's tone of voice worried Severus a little. "Now that you and Remus are back, I will do everything I can to stop him." Harry kissed Remus' brow and hugged his Godfather goodbye. Walking in Severus's direction he said, "After all, he is only one man as well."
