Chapter 13
Harry's POV
Snape's quarters was, like my apartment in Chicago, lacked anything that was modern. There was a roaring fire, a nice carpet, and several comfortable chairs. I looked at him and then said, "I want a word with you."
"About what?" Snape asked me.
"Mab," I answered, "She visited me and I know that you know about her. Tom Riddle went after the courts and I saw her when I soulglazed."
"Yes, I know about her," he said. "She's cold and terrible."
"And I'm her Winter Knight, thus, I know this," I told him. "Why was she in your soul?"
He sat down and looked into the fire.
"I'm in service to her," he said.
I stared at him.
"What are you talking about?"
"When I found out that the Potter's were going to be targeted I went to Mab, asking her to remove the stain of the dark mark. That's how come I wasn't placed in Azkaban. In return I would join her court as her Winter lord. Dumbledore told the Ministry that I spied for Tom, but it was the lack of a mark that kept them from figuring out that I had been a Death Eater. In return I watched for signs that he might be returning so that both courts would be ready.
"Quirrell isn't normal and I believe that he's playing host."
"You're a fucking Winter lord," I swore, "Did you lose your ever loving mind when you made the deal."
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Accept your actions and what harm they caused," I answered. "You've harmed people."
"And you've killed," Snape countered.
I looked down at the floor.
"None of us are innocent," Snape told me, "So don't play all holy in that area."
I knew that he had me.
"Watch Quirrell," I ordered. "I don't care that you're a Winter Lord."
And I left.
"A Winter Lord," Bob said, after I got back and found that the boys were gone.
"Yep," I answered.
"And that's how come Mab was able to touch him," Bob said, "She can't touch anyone that's not a part of her court."
"What is a Winter Lord?" Karrin asked me.
"They are appointed by the Queen," Bob answered, "By becoming a Winter Lord you give up your mortality. It's different from being a knight."
"And that means that he's unable to handle iron," I told her. "Though I'm surprised that he doesn't look like the other fay. Being one means that you're handsome and beautiful."
"He must be under a glamour," Bob reasoned, "Doesn't want people to know that he's not fully mortal anymore."
"Which could be used against him," I reasoned.
"Correct," Bob said.
The next day the school headed down to the pitch for a game called Quidditch. I didn't understand the game but everyone was hoping that Gryffindor would win. We had to sit with the Slytherin's, something that some didn't like.
"Don't worry about the others," Theo said, "They follow Draco's lead."
"And you don't."
"I know that you're going to be more powerful than Malfoy will and you don't act like people owe you anything," he said, "So I'll stick with someone that can keep themselves together."
"So you know what side your bread is butter on," I reasoned and he gave me an odd look, "Never mind."
The match was being hosted by a Gryffindor name Lee Jordan, who made Karrin laughed at some of the comments that he made. I just shook my head, though I did laugh at McGonagall as she tried to take the microphone away from him. All of a sudden a scream came from the ground and we all looked down. I cursed.
"What the heck is that?" Theo asked.
"Trouble," I answered and the winged monster lifted it's went right for me.
Great, just great.
The students all ran in different directions, but me and Karrin stood firmly where we stood. Karrin took out her wand and did a spell that sent fire at it. It dodged it but it couldn't dodge my kinetic ring. My kinetic ring stores up a little bit of energy every time that I moved my arm. I hit it with four months' worth of stored energy and it screamed as it was hit. I figured that it had something to do with the added power as we got closer to the Winter solstice. The winged demon, don't even know what it was, burst into flames and vanished.
"What the heck was that?"
"Winged demon," I told her.
I had a feeling that it was for me and only for me.
Due to the winged demon the game took place the next day. I stayed inside so that nothing would happen. Karrin was busy reading her charms book and writing things down.
"I have a feeling that Quirrell sent it my way," I told Karrin.
"Because of what Snape said."
"Correct," I told her.
"What are you going to do?" she asked me.
"I can't do anything right now," I told her, "I need to catch him off guard and that will take time. I don't want him to know that I know what he's up to."
"That means keeping your head down."
"Correct," I said.
"What I want to know is what else is he up to," Karrin said, "I mean, sending demons after you seems like something stupid to do."
"I agree," I said, "And I think that I need another chat with Snape. I need to know what's actually going on."
"He's outside for the game."
"Then I'll have to wait," I told her.
"Let's hope that he's not going to hide from you."
I gave her a look and said, "He might be able to hide from me but he can't hide from Mab."

A/N: Sorry about the delay, but I can't write much due to pain in both my wrists. I'll try and post more often.
