chapter 13
I chuckled as Lisa and Sue sat across from me cursing Flint, I don't know if I should feel sorry for the guy for pissing off the 2 first years and one is training to be a healer for our house.
Now what I looked up in time to see Beppo Law's first-mate ran into the hall skidding to a stop at the head table. The hounds lifted their head to look at the once polar bear, they have got bigger in the four months I've had them, the headmaster stood "can I help you young man" he asked, Beppo looked to him then back around the hall "commander" he called. I stood moving over to the older male "easy Beppo what's wrong" I asked, he looked to me I can see the fear in his eyes "we found Chopper he's in a bad way he wont let anyone near him my captain can't do anything we need you to come by the clinic and stay the week end" he replied.
I felt myself freeze they found the baby of the crew "who" I asked holding in a snarl, Beppo flinched back, he shook himself "I don't know the captain only asked I pick you up" he replied. I closed my eyes counting back "lets go then" I said opening them, I saw the old man move in the corner of my eye "I can't let you leave the grounds Luffy" he said.
I held off snarling at him "a student can leave the grounds if it is an emergence so long as an adult goes with them if they are under age, plus it is the weekend I'll be back it time for lessons Monday" I took him. I looked to Beppo then nodded to the doors the old man wont stop me from going to see my little brother, I heard the old man sigh "both Professors Potter and Snape will go with you" he said.
I curled my lip at the women who is blood before looking to the man that is one of the only men I call uncle in this life with a nod.
I looked to the red hair women as she took her time to walk over to us as I let out a growl "commander" Beppo asked. I shook my head "my ex-mother a glory hound along with her mate, I trust Severus go ahead and tell the others to watch what they say in front of her since the oh so wonderful headmaster has said she is to be one of my escorts" I told him. I saw the raised brow from Sev as i signed 'the mage dose not know I am the king,
I wound like to keep it that way for now' the once bear nodded then bowed before leaving.
I lead the two professors down Diagon ally towards the Hearts clinic, I saw Penguin at the front desk as I entered. He jumped up crossing his arm over his chest bowing "milord the captain is in the back rooms set aside for our brethren" he said, I gave the older a nod before moving over the door baring the alliance mark at the end of the corridor.
I found a full room I looked over seeing Whitebeard, Marco, Mihawk on a phone, Dragon, Kuma, Beppo, X Drake and Jewelry Bonney those two having been found with their crews over the summer and lastly Basil Hawkins having join back up with up last year with his.
Dragon looked over raising a brow at the professors "the headmaster, now where is my brother" I asked with a growl, Hawkie pointed to the door behind me.
I opened it seeing Law stood over a small form on one of the beds, he looked over I can see the anger in his eyes as he moved so I could see the bruised form of a child that looks only 6, their brown hair matted with blood. I looked to Law with a half snarl as I heard a gasp from behind me, the surgeon of death held out a piece of parchment with the little ones full medical history on "I had to put him to sleep to run that" he told me.
I looked up at the healer "I want them found, give this to Dragon he'll know what to do because if I find them they will end up dead" I snarled. I moved over to Chopper for I know it's him from his scent, he looks so small but his history says he is 9 a month younger then my blood siblings. I picked him up moving over to the room I know is a bathroom.
I held the little one to me as I ran a shallow bath before striping him of the rags that passed as clothes holding in a snarl seeing not one bit of unmarked skin, he is covered in bruise. I moved to hold his head to my neck holding in the tears I know cling to my eyes "I am sorry little one, I have failed you once more" I whispered into his matted hair ignoring the small of blood and grime finding his true sent the same as our last life, I let out a sobbing chuckle smelling cotton candy. I hummed as I lowered him into the tub he let out a whimper "easy little one, easy I am here" I mumbled washing away what must have been weeks if not months of grim and blood.
-Severus' p.o.v-
I watched as my oldest godson picked up the beaten child and take him into what looks like a bathroom with the utmost care.
I followed one of my old students back out into the room that held several people who I take are reborns, I watched Law hand over the parchment to one of the richest men in our world Dragon "he wants you to deal with it or he will go hunting and if he finds them he will kill them" he said. Lily gasped getting a look from all the reborns in the room "he can't kill them" she said, my old class mate Marco gave a dark grin "we follow the laws sent down by our king, any one who would do that to a child were brought before the court most of the time they where beaten close to death or out right killed" he said. I saw the others shiver, what was that about "remember once when that crew where dragged in by Pirate hunter and Blackleg" an orange hair man asked, Law nodded "we remember Drake they found them after they had their fun with that orphanage, he kept them alive for two mouths beaten close to death then healed and they started over again" he replied.
"who" Lily asked, that got some what dark grins from most of them "the king and his crew" the blond male replied, she glared "my JJ would never do that" she almost hissed, that got the others laughing "you think your brat is the man who was the most feared pirate" Newgate asked. She nodded making the large man snort, he must have giant blood in him "we shall see" he said as two left the room, Mihawk and Dragon.
I opened my eyes as Luffy walked into the room with the child cradled to his chest still asleep before moving and sitting in the centre of the room on the floor. He looked around the others in the room all of them met his gaze before he turned back the child in his lap running his hand over the brown locks, this is the first I have seen Lucifer show that much care. Everyone in the castle just sees him as a Dark wizard who snaps are snarls at everyone who looks at him wrong, I saw him rip into a Seventh year Gryffindor just last week, the older boy was reduced to tears and even now a week later I see the boy crying whenever Lucifer is close.
I blinked seeing the child waking as did everyone in the room, He opened light brown eyes that was clouded with sleep, I saw the boy tense then let out a scream that made all in the room flinch. He trashed in Luffy's arms as he held the boy, Lily moved as if to rip the child from his arms, Luffy's head snapped up letting out a truly feral snarl eyes burning more Red then green or black. Marco grabbed her arm pulling her back as Luffy looked back down at the boy "easy little one, easy Chopper" he said rocking from side to side, the child, Chopper kept scream trying to get away. He moved the boy so his head rested in the hollow of his shoulder, I saw the winch as Chopper sank his teeth into skin "easy chopper, I am here and I am not letting you go little brother" Luffy said running his hand down the youngers back. I saw the younger freeze going completely still taking a deep breath "captain" he said his voice failing him cracking in the end, Luffy moved the boy so he could look down at him letting out a hum "Hei {yes} little one" he said brushing away the tears that fell. I watched as the younger's eyes ran over the elders face he flinched seeing the red mark on his shoulder letting out a whimper "it's okay, it will heal" Luffy said bring the younger back into a hug "how long have you had your memories" he asked. The younger moved to curl up in a ball "since three" he replied as Marco moved over with a glass of water having passed Lily off to one of the others.
It was not long till the young one sat on Luffy's lap leaning back against the older "do you remember everyone" he asked the younger, he nodded before pointing to everyone giving names. The one named Drake moved over to the two before kneeling down reaching out to brush the hair off the youngster's face "my crew and I found you little commander" he told him, Luffy reached out grabbing the elder males wrist "you have my thanks Drake" he said. The older just nodded "we all know what your crew mean to you milord" he said before moving back to the others.
Luffy looked to them "where'd Hawkie and Dragon-chan go" he asked making the child giggle "must you call Mihawk and Dragon that captain" he asked looking up at said male, who just grinned down at the boy. He then looked to Law "Taffie how long you keeping Chopper prisoner" he asked, the healer bristled before sighing "the weekend but now he's awake and responding I'd like to giving him a check up" he replied. The boy pouted before getting up moving over to the healer after a whispered word from his captain as my charge lent back on his arms.
I heard running feet as Luffy sat up straight "shi-" he got out before a red blur slammed into him. I blinked seeing a male around my age sat on my student with a impossible wide grin on his face "Anchor" he cried, I saw Luffy blink up at the older male before sighing "Ben remove your captain from me" he said. I looked to the door hearing a chuckle seeing a group of four men with Mihawk the taller black haired male grinned "how did you know we were with him" he asked. Luffy snorted pushing the male off him "your Shanks' keeper the it would be cruel to everyone else to have this bastard walk around with out his crew to keep him in line" he replied to the male, Shanks nodding before he turned on the scarred male poking him in the cheek with a grin Luffy hit his hand away before picking the child Chopper up as he bound over to him.
The red head looked to the child blinking "Chopper" he asked getting a nod from both youngsters the older looked Luffy in the eyes "the rest of you crew" he asked. I saw the pain before he closed his eyes "alive they just need to be found" he replied before the red head looked around the room spotting the others for the first time.
He blinked at Newgate before grinning "two Yonko, hello Whitebeard" he said with a bow of his head, the elder in the room mirrored the action "red-hair" he said back, I watched as Luffy leaned back against the wall with a fond smile as he watched the other reborns speak in the old tongue - to softly for me to hear this side of the room- before he too spoke softly with the child held against his side, both held pain and sadness in their eyes about what ever the spoke of. I looked to Lily seeing her trying to talk with the others about what their king was like, I don't think her JJ is the King, I looked back to my godson seeing his wipe the tears from his brother's eyes.
Law moved to my side, I looked side ways at him "until the nine are back together, they will be broken but I'd hate to be the one to get between any of them before they are all back together even after" he told me, I raised a brow "Luffy has killed for them before" was all he said.
