Claimed
Chapter 8
While Andrea practically flew down the stairs, Severus did the same. They were both extremely worried about Harry. What they didn't know was that it would be ages before they got any sense out of the young man.
"Harry!" said Andrea crawling into the cell.
"Scan him," said Severus concerned, he didn't know how his mate was or anything, the bond was gone.
"Nothing seems wrong, his breathing is irregular though," said Andrea.
"Get him to my rooms immediately, tell Poppy also," said Severus angrily.
"Are you going to deal with that foolish boy?" asked Andrea angrily.
"Yes, but really it wasn't his fault he had no idea," sighed Severus.
"Put him somewhere else then, a post out of the country until this all passes?" asked Andrea.
"Good idea, I'm going to have to hunt and get some blood for him, otherwise I dread to think what would happen. Plus the blood can only help him recover or get better; I hope there is nothing wrong with him. Now enough talk. Get him to my room immediately," said Severus.
"Very well," said Andrea picking up the young man without even so much as a single struggle.
She was gone before Severus knew it, Severus himself had to sit there for half an hour. He had lost his mate, he could not feel him at all. It was almost as if he had died or something. That thought was a scary one. Knowing it was best to deal with Malachi just now and then go to Harry, he made his way down to the great hall once more.
"I'm sorry My Lord," said Malachi bowing stiffly, "The others have just told me… I had no idea," said the guilt ridden man.
"Very well, but join Alex and the others on their mission. You could do with some real training," said Severus.
"But sir, my childe is not ready," said Malachi's Sire.
"He is ready, you will go with him also, he needs to learn of our ways," said Severus looking at Jack annoyed. Jack was Malachi's Sire.
"Very well My Lord," said Jack bowing knowing who was in charge even though he had control over his childe. It was Severus who had the last say in everything, he was in charge.
"Very well, go! Do as you please I want some quiet time. Those on guard duty, do not sleep. Dumbledore just attacked and I know he won't give up that easily, the rest of you, have you been to see Poppy yet?" asked Severus.
"Yes My Lord," shouted the Vampires.
"Good then you know your jobs," said Severus grimly.
"Do not attack them, just watch them, learn their habits and stop their attacks," said Poppy.
"Why?" asked James curiously. James of course was another vampire.
"Because until Harry is better, no one will be attacked. He will be furious if you attack without him. Once he calms down anyway," said Poppy, she had been told what had happened. She didn't realize just how bad Harry was going to be; none of them did.
