Chapter 24:helping the mind, sorting out Sirius and something strange
Harry had just appeared in his room and was making his way over to the bed. Lying Remus down on it, he went into the bathroom and got a wet washcloth. Cleaning the remains of blood from his mates face, a new wave of anger swept through him, making him clench his fist.
How the hell did his godfather get the right to attack his mate like that? How dare he, he knew nothing about him.
Sighing to clear his head, Harry decided that he should help Remus heal, not dwell on Sirius.
Summoning Alandria's staff, he sat next to Remus cross legged, one hand hovering over his lover's chest, the other holding the staff. Once again, the he went into the healer trance as Remus had started to call it and focused on Remus mind. Maybe he could get him to wake up sooner rather than later and give him a little energy booster.
*The mind is one of the most complex things to heal, because there are so many tunnels it is very hard to take the right ones. Just believe that you can do it and that you want to help your love, and you will be able to do it. Do not fear, I will be with you and help you find your way.*
Alandria's voice, full of wisdom and friendliness, helped Harry, he now felt like he had found the right part and was now giving little boosts of energy to the very walls.
*Remus is waking up, you have to go if you do not want to harm his mind. Quick!*
Harry withdrew and saw that Remus eyes had fluttered. Sighting in relive, Harry laid the staff next to him and gently cradled Remus head in his hands.
"Come on love, wake up, that's it, wake up!"
"Harry? What happened?"
Said a groggy Remus.
"What do you remember?"
"We were in the infirmary kissing, but then I was blasted of the bed and then everything went black."
"Well, Sirius came in and saw you on top of me, practicly suffocating me with those sloppy kisses,"
"I'm not that bad!!" Interrupted a indignant Remus, but Harry just grinned and continued.
"And Sirius decided that his charming, lovable and gorgeous godson didn't deserve to be stuck with a werewolf."
Snorting, Remus sat up and pulled Harry onto his lap. Kissing Harry's neck, the werewolf relished in the little purring sounds only he could make the normally reserved wizard make. Lying Harry back onto the bed, Remus spooned up behind him and both fell into a relaxed sleep, dreaming of each other.
In the dungeons, Helga, Rowena, Salazar and Godric had just finished the protection spells, when they felt a wave of very strong healing magic roll through the castle.
Since the founders knew what kind of power Harry had, they did not notice anything strange, but everyone else just stood there gaping. The silence held until Sirius started to stir. At once Severus was beside him and held a pepperup potion to his mouth. After Sirius drank it, he looked at the others in the room in complete confusion.
"What the hell just happened? Tell me my godson didn't just slap me!"
"Sorry, he did, and he was right about it too!" Salazar replied.
"What? I had the right as a godfather to blast Remus of of him, who knows what the werewolf would have done to him?"
"Remus would have done nothing to harm Harry or if Harry had not wanted it either."
"Yea right, like Harry is gay and just so happened to fall head over heels in love with my werewolf friend."
"That's about it, and you had no right to hurt Remus, but the punishment will be fair enough I suppose..."
"What punishment?" Sirius asked with a bit of fear in his voice.
"You don't actually think that Harry is going to let you harm his life bonded and get away with it do you?"
"I am his godfather, and there fore I know what is best for him. I will forbid him to see or talk to Remus ever again."
"You won't be able to keep Harry away from Remus if you want the kid to stay sane for a few more years. Him and Remus are bonded for life, if they are not together, both of them go insane after a while."
Then Salazar turned to Dumbledore. He handed him a roll of parchment.
"I snitched this out of Harry's pocked, he would have burned it if I didn't."
"Thank you Salazar. May I ask from who is it?"
"Merlin."
Raising an eyebrow, Dumbledore nodded and read the letter.
"At least now I know why Harry didn't want me to read it. Salazar? I have a question. Do you think Harry would mind if you did the dueling lessons with magic and if Harry agrees, he can do the lessons with swords and knives and such?"
"Actually, that would be fabulous. Harry never did want the dueling lessons."
"Well then, see you all tomorrow morning, goodnight."
The last thing anyone would have heard was the chorus of goodnights before Salazar conjured up a silencing spell over the room and Helga and Rowena proceeded to give Sirius the lecture of his life.
The next morning, Harry woke to something wet licking his cheek. Grumbling, he turned away from it, only to hear someone laughing. Harry growled in irritation at seeing Remus on the floor, laughing himself silly at cowlick he had managed to produce on Harry's hair.
Jumping up, Harry tried to get Remus, but the werewolf quickly turned into his wolf form and ran out of the door. Growling, this time just for show, Harry turned into lightning and ran after him.
Lighting had just entered the great hall, when he realised his mistake. Black unicorns wee considered dangerous and a bringer of death.
*Do not worry lightning, just show that you mean no harm, and no harm will come to you.*
Oh, and how am I suppose to do that?
*Lay back your ears and bow to the head table first, then to every other table. The house tables you sort, the first one you have the most respect for, then the second one, then the third and then the one you have the least respect for. It is that easy.*
Thanks.
Lighting laid back his ears and then slowly turned to the teachers table. Going to both front knees, he bowed low in front of Dumbledore. Then going over to the Gryffindor table he bowed. Next came the Hufflepuff, then the Ravenclaw tables and then the slytherin.
*Good, now go back and stand before Dumbledore, and await his response. I f he showes you his wand, it means that he accepts you and you just have to touch it to be able to talk to him. I f he does not show you his wand, you must bow again, and somehow show him your loyal.*
Harry did what his spirit told him and stood, waiting. Then, Dumbledore stood, came around the table and held his wand so he was showing it to lightning. Touching it with his horn, he felt magic flow through him and somehow knew that something was up.
