Chapter 7

Half-an-hour later Severus and Harry were on their way to Mrs. Figgs. Each lost in his own thoughts.

'Why is Snape acting so weird? It's like one minute he's nice, the next he's the slimy git I'm used to. And why in the world did Dumbledore send him! Ugh. I don't want to go to Mrs. Figgs. I mean she's nice enough now that I know she's a squib. But, I know that I'm not going to be doing chores, anything but. I have a feeling I would rather do them all day that whatever it is where doing there.'

'Those muggles make me sick! How could they treat their own nephew like that! (My nephew like that! Hehe one of my secrets is revealed.) And why didn't the boy tell anyone. Then again, no one asked. No one ever thought to check up on their' golden boy. It's no wonder the boy always stayed home during the holidays. Why didn't Arabella know anything about this? Oh no. I bet Lily is furious. Seler ', please don't do anything stupid.'

As they waited for Mrs.Figg to answer her door Severus glanced sideways at Harry. The boy was staring of into space, a far away look in his eyes. Sev cautiously reached out a hand and placed it on the child's shoulder. Harry flinched, but the hand did not move. He turned to his teacher, two emerald eyes filled with confusion.

Severus offered a brief smile to the boy, then at Arabella's invitation he gently guided Harry into the sitting room. There he sat the child on the couch and went to get some medical supplies.

Severus then proceeded to gently heal the cuts and burns. All the while Harry just sat there, staring at him with wide eyes. Once all the injuries where healed and Severus has forced a few potions down Harry's throat Arabella Figg came in and set a plate of sandwiches on the coffee table.

"Severus, Harry. As much of a pleasure it is to have visitors I'm afraid I've business to attend. Feel free to do what you like with the house. Don't worry about cleaning up. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be on my way. "

Only once Mrs. Figg had left did Severus speak.

"Eat Harry." He said gesturing to the sandwiches. "But be careful. Judging on your condition you haven't eaten in days. Therefore you might get sick if you eat too much, to fast. After you eat we will talk. There are something's I was planning on waiting to tell you, but in light of recent events it seems imperative that you know now."

Harry picked up one of the sandwiches. He couldn't deny he was hungry.

Then, suddenly a painful jolt ran through his body. He jumped. Snape looked up from where he had picked up a book to read while waiting for Harry to finish. He barley managed to mask his concern.

'It can't be. There is still almost two weeks until his birthday, Its way too early.'

Once again Harry felt a jolt of pain.

"Harry, Harry we've got to go now. Okay. I'll explain later."

The boy nodded, clenching his fist in pain.

Severus gently picked him up, cradling him as if he was a small child. Marveling at how light the boy was, he cursed his relatives. Then shaking his head, he didn't have time for this, he ran to the fireplace. Throwing the flow powder in he called out.

"Edhel ilm!"

Then man and boy disappeared in a flash of blood red light.

Severus exited the fireplace. Posing only to straighten himself out, he began running again, Harry thrashing in his arms.

He ran down corridors passing many people who shouted questions after him. Up stairs, down halls, through doors, on and on he ran. In his rush it was not surprising he ran into someone.

"Atar, where are you… wait is tha…"

"Not now DamonI must get him to the winya room."

The person nodded and Severus kept running. Finally he came to a door. It was a strange door with intricate ruins engraved all over it. As soon as they entered the room Harry stopped jerking. In fact he seemed to become unconscious.

Severus sighed with relief, knowing his charge would be safe and comfortable now. Perhaps a little disoriented and very confused when he wakes up, but he could deal with that later. He knew it would be a little while before Harry woke up.

He quietly excited the room, lost in thought.

'Its almost impossible for him to be gaining his inheritance this soon. I mean, sure the more powerful of our people would sometimes gain theirs a day or two early, but two weeks! That's unheard off. And I was hopping to explain everything beforehand.'

Severus was startled out of his thoughts by the arrival of Fawkes. Fawkes regretfully gave Severus a letter. Severus gave the bird a small smile, and scratched him on the head. The phoenix cooed with pleasure before disappearing in a flash of fire.

As Sev read the letter he grew more and more angry. The old coot! What right did he have to tell him where he could and could not be, or how to take care of his nephew?

"What's wrong atar? Asked a small voice, startling him.

Sev turned to see a young girl. She seamed to be about seventeen. She was very pretty. With brown hair that flowed down her back in waves, and ice blue eyes that pierced your very soul. Her ears where pointed and her skin pale. Around her neck she wore a silver necklace, on it was a jewel in the shape of a teardrop, a blood red teardrop.

"Elaine, child, you startled me. Where is your brother? I wish to speak to you both?"

"I don't know, but I can find him if you'd like."

"Very well. Meet me in the sitting room."

The girl nodded and ran off in search of her sibling.

Severus continued on, nodding to people as he past. There where a good many people in the manor, most children or young adults. All had the same pointed ears.

He entered another room, beautifully decorated with greens and blues. He sat down on the couch and waited.

Not two minutes later, did the girl enter the room. She was followed by another teenager. It was the boy that Severus had run into earlier. He, like his sister had wavy brown hair, his reaching his shoulders. His eyes were a like dark blue tunnels, almost black. His ears were of course pointed, his skin just as pale. He also wore a red teardrop; only his was dangling from one ear.

"Sir. You wanted to see us?" The boy asked upon entering.

Just then, the wards altering Severus that Harry had awoken went off.

He nodded.

"Come. There is someone I wish for you to meet."

Severus stood and the children followed.

"Yes father."
