THE 4th UNFORGIVABLE
DISCLAIMER: Well HP and the characters aren't mine what a surprise, if they were Severus, Albus, Fred, Remus, Mad-Eye… would all be alive. And Ron and Hermione would never be together.
A/N: Tell me what you think…. And please forgive me for being so late!...Dedicated to Family Boyce!
The night before the start of term:
The summer was coming to its end and most of the people in Grimmauld were fast asleep.
It was surprising how they had all adapted themselves to the new situation and to Severus who now went by the name of: Alexander Rus Prince, his mother's maiden name, Dumbledore's forester son. They all felt a little lost in the begin because the teenager was different to the man they knew of course they were also very similar, but Rus had the vulnerability of someone who had been abused for years and didn't know the meaning of love... Of course Albus did everything he could to express the love he felt for his son, but just as the first time Rus was struggling hard only this time it was confusing because his heart said one thing and his head another.
His friendship with Harry was incredibly strong even if he (Harry) looked a lot like James. The first few days where alien between them, even so they soon found the road of their previous friendship and brotherhood again. His relationship with Remus was more difficult to rebuild but Remus had the patience of a saint with him and kept telling him that it was alright and that in time they would be good friends again. He and Ron tolerated each other. He kept as far away from Sirius as he could and Sirius knew that the only one he could blame for that was himself, so he respected Rus wishes but was still cordial toward him in the hope that maybe one day they could build a tentative friendship. Fred and George adopted him like a tripled as awkward at that might sound and Rus was pretty happy with it. Ginny was somewhat shy around him not knowing how to act. His relationship with Hermione was strange because neither of them knew how to act around each other and often found themselves blushing and apologizing because they found themselves holding hands and such things, this amused everyone a lot because they saw that the feelings where still there just being suppressed and there was even a bet going around about how long they would keep acting like this.
His relationship with Hagrid and Pomfey couldn't be duped they were the only two people who where constant in his live both as and child and an adult. Minerva kept acting as a mother hen around him as she had done when he was an adult and everyone could see that this made the boy feel awkward and that hurt Minerva.
But it was the day before start of term and Rus couldn't sleep feeling nervous about tomorrow: In which house would he be sorted? Would he be placed again in Slytherin? Would that disappoint the hea….his father? Would he end in Grifindor as the sorting had first suggested? He had friends there but would they still be that with him at school? Would there be a group of students bulling him? He was asking himself all these questions lying in bed when he felt the need to move to walk to do something….anything. So he put a T-shirt on and left his room silently not making any sound, because he was used to it and it was better to not to bother his elders in his experience. He was walking down stairs when he heard something behind him and turned around jumping, a hand over his heart. Looking at Professor Lupin, as he called Remus in Pj's.
"Whoooh relax Rus. It's just me Remus. What are you doing up at this ungodly hour?" Asked Remus curious and regretting it the same moment the words left his lips because he saw Rus paling and walking backwards toward the staircase in fear to have done something wrong, he seemed to do that a lot these days… "Rus don't!" But he was too late and saw Rus falling backwards from the stairs and heard a Thut.
Remus ran down the stairs fast kneeling next to Rus pulling his hands from his head examining him for any possible injury and when he lifted the trembling boys hand he felt a wave of nausea hid me looking at the blood he saw.
"It's ok I'm sorry I will return to my room please I will be good…." Remus could feel Rus magic getting out of control as it was used to do now that he was somehow now more powerful and hadn't learned to control it yet.
"It's OK. I'm not mad. Shhh." Remus knew he had to calm Rus down before he could help him. "Why are you still up Rus?" He whispered knowing how soft sounds usually calmed his young friend…
"I…I…I…II…" Remus could feel Rus trembling and knew the only thing that might help would be feeding him calming magic so he did. And almost immediately felt Rus relax. "Couldn't sleep."
"Want to talk about it?"
"No."
