My Mate
Chapter 36
He's Leaving And Happy About It
Severus continued to stare at the results; he was of course very proud of Harry. He was glad the be leaving, grabbing a piece of parchment, he began writing. He had to resign properly, and before he left with Harry. Draco and Ginny were coming also, and Severus couldn't wait to see his other 'children'. Boys he had raised since they were new born's. He had been there when their first tooth came through, fell out. When they crawled for the first time, some of them skipping crawling and straight to walking. He had been their father in all intents and purposes, as they got older, Severus told them what happened. They no longer called him dad, which had hurt, but he understood it. Now they were closer than ever, each and everyone with respected him ten times more since they saw their replacements or golems as Harry liked to call them.
Vinnie and Greg were feeling very pigeonholed, Samantha and Serena were very glad to be back. Mostly because they weren't recognized they could shop in Diagon Alley. Walk around a place that had been Samantha's home once upon a time. Somewhere Serena should have grown up, but didn't, thankfully. Alexander Avery was a very quiet teenager, preferred solitude and his brothers and sister. Serena and Alexander were brother and sister, the only biological ones. Samantha was their mother; she had been forced to Marry Avery. She had been abused by her husband, and had jumped at the chance to go with Severus. Who had come to take her children from her, after seeing her he had taken her too. For that Samantha would always be grateful.
Serena at first, had been thought a squib, but she wasn't, she had a power, a very good one. She could transport herself, or others, and others and objects. Like she was force apparating objects, and people it was a very good gift to have. It made Serena very valuable to them; the boys had stopped teasing her so much once they had gotten a dose of her power. She had teleported them out of the boat into the water, her mother Samantha and brother, Alex had been so proud of her.
They had all come back, and because he had found his mate, it meant a lot to him. After he had found his mate, Sebastian had found his. It seemed as though everything was coming together, all he needed to do was help his mate defeat Voldemort, and they were free. Harry sometimes was too nice for his own good, despite what the wizarding world had done to him. He still wanted to save them, and he wasn't about to let his mate do it alone.
Severus finished writing his resignation, he was rather glad for it, he didn't like teaching much. It was a good thing that he hadn't accepted Dumbledore's job offer, when he had finished his Potions Mastery. Dumbledore had tried to get him to accept the Potions job, and become a part of the Order he had started up. Not only had Dumbledore been after him, Voldemort had been too, hence his decision to leave.
It was Saturday, so he had no classes, or anyone with detentions, and Harry was leaving this weekend. So he decided to go up and give it to Dumbledore.
Severus muttered the password, and stepped on the staircases as it led him to Dumbledore's office. Before he could knock, Dumbledore told him to enter. Rolling his eyes he did what he was asked to do, he knew that it was a mere spell. It probably amused the school children, and made them in awe of him.
"How can I help you Severus? Everything going alright?" asked Dumbledore, eyes twinkling bright obviously very happy to see him.
"I'm just giving in my resignation," said Severus smoothly, placing the folded in half parchment on Dumbledore's table.
"What?" cried Dumbledore stunned, this was he last thing he expected when he got up today.
"I am sorry, teaching is just not for me," said Severus regretfully.
"Can you at least stay until the end of the year?" he asked hopefully. No teacher had quit on him before, well, one had he supposed. Remus, but at least he had lasted a year. Quirrell had died, Lockhart had been Obliviated, Remus had quit, Moody had been impersonated and even toad faced Umbridge had lasted a year.
"No, I'm sorry, I'll be leaving tonight," said Severus, it was a good thing he hadn't signed a contract.
"Severus, I won't be able to find another in time…cant you stay until then? Think of the children!" said Dumbledore trying to convince Severus to stay.
"I'm sorry my things are already packed," said Severus smoothly before he turned and left, before Dumbledore could beg some more. Just wait until tonight then he would be even anger, when he and Harry left.
"You ready?" said Ginny practically hyper, she was finally leaving.
"Yes, are you sure you want to do this Ginny? What about your family?" asked Draco.
"I'll write to them stop worrying!" Ginny said brushing off his concern for her.
"Okay, how about you? Are you all packed?" asked Draco.
"Yeah, it's all in my pocket," she said grinning widely; she was looking forward to this new bout of independence.
"Okay so, hold on a minute I think I'm going to do the same…" said Draco, he had a feeling they were going to have to make a quick escape.
"Alright," said Ginny, sitting down on the green leather couch in Slytherin Common Room. She wished she hadn't forced the hat to put her in Gryffindor to begin with. She didn't care how the Death Eater children acted towards her. She now understood that not all Slytherin's were evil or Death Eaters. In fact the majority were really nice; they stuck together and helped one another. She felt more at home here, now than she had at Hogwarts in all her years here.
"Hey guys," said Harry grinning widely when he saw them.
"Hi, how are you feeling?" asked Ginny curiously.
"I don't think I've been so excited!" said Harry laughing in amusement, "Well apart from when I first found out about Hogwarts that is."
"Calm down before they suspect anything," warned Draco.
"What a way to kill my buzz!" grimaced Harry.
"Ignore him, he's probably just as excited," scoffed Ginny, whacking her boyfriend on the arm, sore.
"Ouch!" complained Draco rubbing the spot where she had hit him. "Did you really need to hit me so hard?"
"Don't be a baby! Do you want me to kiss the booboo and make it all better?" cooed Ginny mockingly.
"Well not there but I do know somewhere you could kiss," said Draco, a wicked grin on his face.
Harry signed softly, seeing them kiss - it so wasn't fair.
"What's wrong Harry?" asked Ginny breaking their kiss; concerned about the boy she loved like a brother.
"It's not fair…I wish I could do that with him," said Harry.
"You will tonight," said Draco, giving Ginny a little peck on the lips, he loved her.
"MALFOY GET YOUR HANDS OF MY SISTER!" snarled Ron.
"Ginny I need to talk to you," said Hermione, her hands on her hips looking extremely annoyed.
"Too bad I don't want to talk to you," said Ginny bluntly.
Hermione's eyes narrowed in anger.
"Why don't you just leave us the well enough alone." snapped Draco angrily.
"Harry come on," said Hermione imperiously.
"No," said Harry surprisingly Ron and Hermione greatly, now they looked extremely pissed off.
"Harry," growled Hermione.
"Oh just piss of Hermione," said Harry rolling his eyes before he left, Ginny and Draco hot on his heels.
"What just happened?" asked Hermione worriedly.
"I think Malfoy's got my sister and now Potter under control…" snapped Ron; he knew he should have stopped this sooner.
"I think we best tell Dumbledore…lets go!" said Hermione.
"But I'm hungry!" moaned Ron looking longingly at the breakfast.
"Move!" snapped Hermione, shoving him in the right direction.
"Alright, alright," groaned Ron.
"Come in Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley," said Dumbledore sounding irritated.
"Hello sir," said Hermione calmly.
"What can I do for you two?" asked Dumbledore, dreading more bad news - they wouldn't have any other reason for coming up here.
"Harry's no longer hanging around with us, he's found a friend in Malfoy and Ginny." said Hermione.
"Excuse me?" asked Dumbledore sitting up paying more attention to them.
"He's hanging out with Slytherins," said Ron.
"This isn't good," groaned Dumbledore irritated.
"What do we do?" asked Hermione.
"I'll bring him up here for a talk, don't worry." said Dumbledore, it seemed he would need to find a new way to control Harry. This was just getting ridiculous he needed him - to do his destiny at his side, so he could get the credit.
"Yes sir," said Hermione smugly, like a three year old who had just told on her older brother. Gotten him into trouble, for something their parents hadn't seen or heard about.
"Come on Mione," said Ron, getting up he was starving.
"Bye sir," said Hermione waving her hand as she left the room. Dumbledore didn't reply, his mind already going over the pros and cons of actions he felt the need to take.
He had no idea none of them would ever be used.
Harry was finally free of him.
For the first time in his life Harry was finally truly happy and free and felt his life was worth living, with a great mate at his side - who wanted to be with him through thick and thin.
