Chapter 6
"Where is he?" he asked the guard outside Harry's room.
"Tower," was all the man said, Harry was safe in the castle nothing could happen.
"Good," said Severus curtly before walking up the stairs.
"I've been looking for you," said Severus softly coming into the room.
"Sorry," said Harry already starting to get up.
"Don't leave, you can go anywhere you like, I'm just surprised you are up and about so soon," said Severus then asking "May I join you?"
Harry just nodded his head. Then Severus sat down a good bit away from Harry not wanting to scare him or think he was repulsed by the boy. He could not have it every way, Harry seemed fine that Severus sat where he did.
"How are you feeling just now?" asked Severus after a few seconds of silence.
"Sore, but better than I have in a long time," said Harry sighing softly once again his head fell on the wall and he looked out at what was to him a beautiful view.
"Would you like another potion?" Severus asked.
"I don't want to trouble you," said Harry smiling bitterly.
"You are not bothering me or troubling me, Accio mild pain potion," said Severus softly. The pain potions that were not mild actually put you to sleep for a good few hours while the mild ones didn't.
"Here," Severus said as the potion went flying into his hand.
"Thank you," said Harry surprised, he didn't hesitate in drinking the potion which to Severus was a good thing.
"You don't need to thank me, I'm doing what anyone would do," said Severus.
"Yeah right," said Harry smirking sadistically, as if anyone would want to help him.
"Are you ready to take your magic suppressors off? We could do it today if you liked," said Severus, wondering if Harry was ready for that, but the sooner the better.
"If you want" shrugged Harry, surprised. They wanted to remove the blocks on his magic? They didn't think him dangerous because of all the magic he had? They would after they took them off.
"Let's go then," said Severus standing up.
"There is no point, they would just be put back on again," said Harry depressed, his eyes showing the deep sadness that was in his soul. They always said that the eyes are the window to the soul and at that moment, Severus believed that more than ever.
"No one will put them back on," said Severus adamantly.
"I'm too powerful to have all that magic," said Harry dully as if he was speaking something someone else had told him.
"Did Dumbledore tell you that?" asked Severus.
"Yes," said Harry nodding his head as if he was ashamed.
"Hmm…well he is wrong Harry, look at me, he is wrong You are powerful, yes, but you will be trained. Your magic is not too powerful for you; no amount of magic is too much for you. That magic was made for you, it is in you and it comes from you. Once you get proper control over your magic you won't have any magical outbursts which is actually called Accidental magic most of the time," said Severus.
"Ok," said Harry, instinctively believing him. He was a vampire now, and he could sense right and wrong, lies and truth, and Severus was telling him the truth. He could not hide from it now, and could not think everyone was lying and never trust anyone.
"Are you ok to walk down?" asked Severus softly.
"Yeah sure," said Harry getting up, holding his hands out to Severus who pushed him up.
"Would you like a look around before we go back to your room?" asked Severus softly.
"I'd like that, this castle is amazing! Might even be bigger than Hogwarts," said Harry.
"It is, and a lot cleaner as well," said Severus smiling softly guiding Harry from the tower and down the steps back into the warmth of the castle.
"I never thought anywhere could get cleaner than Hogwarts," said Harry smiling sadly at the memories.
Severus didn't say anything after that. He just started telling Harry everything; where the towers were, how many rooms there were, showing him the rooms which were not used, sitting areas which had huge roaring fires, the huge massive library on the second floor, the huge study next to it, and the room full of benches across the room. They were obviously used for people reading the books and going though and sitting on the benches.
"Here is my room of course," said Severus once they had gotten down to the familiar area for Harry.
"My room is just next door," said Harry silently amazed.
"It is, and Poppy and Andrea are in the next room after it," said Severus starting to walk in that direction.
"Poppy is still here?" asked Harry amazed.
"Yes" said Severus smiling sadly, the boy really thought he was not worth it, well he would make sure the boy did in a couple of month's time.
"That's nice," said Harry softly walking beside Severus; he was now starting to feel the strain.
"Come on, lets get you in," said Severus scooping the young man into his arms. Even though he was a vampire and he healed fast naturally, and with the help of the potions, Harry's pain didn't go away as easily as one would think.
"Ah there he is. How is he doing Severus?" asked Andrea coming over.
"Better, we are going to remove the suppressors that are on him," said Severus.
"But he is not fit enough," protested Andrea.
"I have spoken and Harry has agreed. Do not argue," said Severus softly.
"Very well brother," said Andrea.
"Is she your sister?" asked Harry curiously, he could find no resemblance of each other in either of them.
"No, all vampires think of each other as brothers and sisters, or sire and childe, some are actually lovers," said Severus softly.
"Oh," said Harry taking in the new knowledge he was learning.
"Let me scan him first," said Poppy.
"Fine," said Severus shaking his head, he should know his childe was fine; he was the boy's sire after all.
Poppy did indeed scan him, she found that he was indeed healing rapidly, but he will be exhausted easily for a while. As his body will need to get used to moving again, his internal injuries were healing nicely, it looked as if it was a job well done.
"He is healing better than ever, with all his magic it can only help," said Poppy agreeing one hundred percent.
"Now are we all agreed?" asked Severus.
"Ok," said Andrea giving up, if Severus and Poppy thought it would be alright who was she to disagree?
"The first one is a simple Finiti incantatem," said Severus.
Together they pointed their wands at Harry, who was fidgeting nervously, he shouldn't really be nervous because he trusted these people. However he could not help himself, he instinctively wanted to bolt or hide himself, even fight! But he knew they were not going to hurt him so he held himself tense.
"FINITI INCANTANTEM!" shouted the three together.
The glow surrounded Harry, showing them that it was working and one of the suppressers were coming off. Harry gasped at the feeling of some of his magic coming right into his magical core, which felt like his very soul to be honest. It didn't feel cold and alone anymore, it felt like a furnace burning overdrive.
"Are you ok?" asked Severus softly looking at Harry concerned.
"Wow, it's like I've just met an old friend," said Harry.
"Well that's your magic," said Severus softly.
"What's the next one?" asked Harry curiously.
"I want to know that as well," said Poppy.
"The next one is 'Exemule shelideus' it's not dark nor light I'm surprised that Dumbledore knows of this spell," said Severus.
"Exemule shelideus?" asked Andrea asking if she was saying it right.
"Yes," said Severus.
"Ok relax Harry, it's nearly over, be prepared for this shield coming down and it may be a lot more magic than the last time. Do not let go of your magic, just reign it if you have trouble," said Severus.
Harry just nodded once more nervous.
They did it four more times, this time the shields were called 'unblockus magicus' obvious but devious if you think about it. The next one 'sheildus breakus' that was actually a dark spell, Dumbledore could be sent to Azkaban for performing that. Also 'finiti sheldus potentioal' this spell stops all potential coming though, which is the worse. Dumbledore would be given the kiss for that, the last person to use it was Grindelwald not even Voldemort, as dark as he was, attempted such a curse.
The last two spells hurt like hell, more than anyone could have predicted, his magic went haywire, and Harry was unable to control it. Severus had to go into Harry's mind and help him control it, as his sire he could do this. He didn't want to do it again, because it was a violation of privacy, and he swore he would never do it again.
"How are you feeling?" asked Severus sitting on his knees beside Harry on the couch.
"Tired," said Harry hoarsely from all the screaming. He was tired because of all the magic he had to keep in, also his magical core had just expanded way bigger than anyone else's alive today.
"Sleep little one, we will be here when you wake, then you can get something nice to eat," said Severus, petting Harry's sweaty hair.
Harry flinched at the contact, but Severus didn't mind, he knew that Harry trusted him and he was doing it because he was used to doing it, it was instinctive. Harry looked at Severus, tiredness, confusion, and pleasure coming though his eyes, he was obviously happy that someone wasn't touching him to hurt him. Harry to everyone's surprised leaned into Severus' touch as he began to fall asleep.
"He's getting better," said Poppy pleased.
"Yes but unfortunately when the obliviates come of I'm sure we are in for a set back," said Severus.
"I disagree Harry is stronger than you realize," said Poppy.
"I hope you are right, and Harry is prepared for what is under them," said Severus softly.
"He remembers what the people he trusted did, I don't think anything else can really shock him," said Andrea softly.
"It's a possibility that you are both correct, I hope you are, would you like some tea or something stronger?" asked Severus.
"Stronger," said the ladies at once.
"Wine it is then," said Severus.
They sat for a while, just chatting wondering what would happen and drinking red wine, eventually a subject came up that Poppy was curious about.
"How will Harry be fed?" asked Poppy.
"Like how any vampire is fed," said Severus almost a little sarcastically.
"What if Harry refuses? I think that's more than possible he doesn't like hurting anyone," said Poppy.
"Then I will feed from him and he will feed from me, it's as simple as that, this is what he will be doing until he is three months old anyway," said Severus.
"Three months old? You make him sound like a babe," said Andrea smiling.
"Ah, a three month old vampire then," said Severus.
"Good I don't want this forced upon him," said Poppy.
"He will not be able to resist blood calls, unless he drinks, if he still refuses he will go into a blood rage. He will then drink the blood without a thought and come back to himself once he has had enough to sustain him for the time being," said Severus.
"That's not good news, perhaps Harry should know this," said Poppy.
"Don't worry, all will be explained. I won't leave anything out," said Severus.
