Chapter 45
Cercis blinked and slowly opened his eyes. He was still in the bed he had been in for the past 3 days. The room itself wasn't as bright as Hogwarts infirmary but it was still annoyingly white. He blinked again and rolled over to go back to sleep.
On the opposite side of the room he didn't see his father watching him with a worried expression on his face.
Severus had arrived the night before in the late evening and he had yet to leave to room where his son lay. Narcissa walked up to him with a steaming mug of coffee in her hands. She handed it to him and smiled.
"He'll be alright Severus, I promise you." She said softly. Severus didn't take his eyes off his son's sleeping body.
"I trust your expertise Narcissa. But that is not what has got me worried." He took a glup of his tea and then returned to watching Cercis. Narcissa Accio'd a chair and sat next to him.
"Then what has Severus." She asked him quietly.
"I fear that he is no longer going too follow our lord. I fear that he may do something stupid."
"Like what? Because of the Silver Chants he now knows every single spell, charm, hex, curse and potion there is. And when a new one is created he learns it immediately. He is incredible Severus you should be proud of what he has become, not fear it."
"I do not fear the power that he has gained; I fear what he will do with it." Severus lifted the mug of tea to his mouth and finished it off.
Narcissa stood and moved in front of him blocking his view of Cercis.
"Severus. My dear dear Severus. Trust him." She leaned in and kissed him but before he had time to react she stood and left the room. Leaving Severus to his thoughts and Cercis to his dreams.
