Author's Note: I had changed a lot on this chapter of the Philosopher's Stone, as Halloween wasn't Harry/Damian's favorite holiday, since in the main canon, we both know why. In this one he thought Severus and Olivia are his parents, so it fits in in this story I am conjuring, oh you thought the Dark Lord interaction with Severus is scary, wait till you find out what he is planning next, ofc not good, but it will be vile, so vile, that it gave Severus a valid reason for him leaving the Death Eaters despite he is working as a spy for the Death Eaters. Oh I wanted Harry/ Damian to have a hesitant start with Hermione, and no Harry belongs to Ginny, always and forever. So without further a do, here is Chapter 14.
Chapter 14
Mid October
September blew very quick for Damian
Filled with strenuous Qudditch training
Hefty essay assignments from Potions and Transfiguration
His detention sessions had lessened since it was only one- or two-week detentions
Overall, it was going smoothly for Damian but the distance between him and Hermione had worsened, the October was just passing by with shying 15th, and he and Hermione are still not talking
Today is Transfiguration class, and they are tasked to change a needle into a goblet
It was very hard; he had done a bit of improvement, but the goblet is reflective
It should be reflective since it is made up of the same metal component, but it felt more of like needle coating rather than an actual goblet
Only three had managed to do it perfectly, him even though it is not as perfect, Heather, and Hermione as usual
"Very good, I am proud of you all, but you need to practice a bit more, this next task is simple, but next time, I want you to focus on a simple object, allow me" Professor McGonagall explaining
Damian watches the professor grabbing a small tennis ball and she uttered a spell that the ball is transforming into a spike
"This is just for demonstration, but for your task, I want you all to transfigure this ball into something less harmful, like the quidditch bludger or quaffle. Whoever changes it correctly and swiftly will get a 30 house points from me, now leave" The Professor sternly said
Damian stood and bid farewell for the professor, holding his bag in one hand
Ron came from behind him with a huff and they are heading into History of Magic for another 2 boring hours, at least he found a sugar quill in order to make him go awake
"The professor is making us do the impossible" Ron said in between the walks
"Not really Ronald, the professor was happy for our progress" Hermione said on his mate's right
Somehow Damian can feel that she is directing to Ron rather than him and it hurts him, a lot
"Well maybe for you Miss Brains, I had heard from the twins that she is never this excited before, maybe we are a good batch" Ron smiles
Damian smiled ahead, glad that they did not catch that.
They finally reached through the room on the right, and they were shared with Ravenclaw, so Heather should be arriving this time
She came, disheveled and uttered 'sorry' to the ghost professor, and he sees her going toward him
She whispers to him and hands him three letters
"Don't open the third one, wait for me, I will explain ok" Heather whispers
Damian nods and stashes the letter onto his pocket, and waits for the class to begin
2 hours later, Damian was wrong, very wrong, it became even more agonizing the more he chewed on the sugar quill
It was much more painful despite the topic was very interesting, the monotone professor was explaining about the time period in 1600 about Goblin demands and the trials of the witches that burned the United Kingdom
It was indeed an interesting topic to read and enjoy
The problem is, it was boring, so boring that he was dropping dead on the table.
It was lunch hours and he helped himself some steak and kidney pie while Ron pretty much took everything that was offered on the plate
He finished the food politely and waited for Heather to show up
She came and gave him a polite smile, which signals that this letter is more than meets the eye
"Go on, open" Heather said
He sees the third letter Heather is implying, the first two was Ginny and his mother, typical
He wonders what the third letter was and was surprised to see Gareth's neat handwriting in a green envelope
He opens it a bit hastily and began to read the letter
Dear Damian,
Hey mate, how's it going? I haven't heard from you since summer, scratch that not even Heather, since she also did not call nor receive my messages until now
So, to cut the chase, I knew something was off between you two, well you the most. Heather told me last week that she is a witch of some kind
I don't know anything about witches or wizards, nor even knowing that magic exists, the magic we know of, is nothing but tricks on the tv shows. Never thought to think two of my best friends are in fact a witch and a wizard
Now I am blabbing, my point is, I am happy for you two, I know you cannot tell me everything (Heather) also told me, but at least tell me from your perspective how does it feel like
I had transferred into another school, not the one with the git Dudley Dursley goes to, some school in Glasgow, since me mum found a job there and we pretty much moved there, I can still visit London, and we can still catch on, so see you there
Give Heather a hug from me, and I miss you lot a lot.
Love,
Gareth
Damian smiles a bit, he hadn't heard a bit from Gareth since he was being distant from his friends, well mostly because it was his Hogwarts letter moment, and he was busy getting what's needed.
He looked onto Heather, and she smiled toward him in which they shared a blissful smile
"I didn't know he is right close to us" Damian smiles
"Yeah, me too, unfortunately we cannot see him this close proximity, but we can see him in Christmas, I hope so" Heather said
"We will Heather, I miss my friend too" Damian chuckles
"Yeah, I miss him too, ok I am getting sap, I am going to help myself some food, oh I want to know about the Ginny letter also" Heather said
Damian laughs politely and shooed her off in order to let her eat, He will read the remaining two, but for now, he is focusing on the last two subjects of the day.
The last two classes ended swiftly and it was getting dark, Damian took some time to open the remaining two and began reading a letter from his mother
Dear Damian,
Thank you for asking my well-being. I am ok, I just had an injury while working as a healer in Saint Mungoes, it isn't that fatal, Healer McCarthy had given me a week off, so I am taking this moment, You don't worry about your mother ok my big boy, how are you? how's your first month in school, give me all the details, also I am definitely attending your first ever Quidditch match so count on it.
Love
Mum
Damian chuckles from her frantic of saying 'I am fine'
He was informed from his father that his mother had apparently injured herself while on training
Damian was worried sick, so much that he wasn't paying attention in class
He had sent her a letter the hour later and waited for his mother's response
The second letter was short but gave more life scope of Ginny
Dear Damian,
Guess who had showed up in the house, my brother Bill! sadly he will only stay for couple days, but it was enough for me to stay with my favorite brother! tell me about your day ok? write me
Love
Ginny
It was short but it gave more than it was intended
Damian took couple parchment papers and began writing for his mother and Ginny before heading to sleep
Snape Dungeon
Severus left his morning Potions class with the fifth year in his normal grumpy mood
He went to his room for some moment and then all of a sudden he heard a knock from his door
He almost cursed loudly but it was the sound of Olivia
He utters come in and she opens the door slowly
"Is that how you miss me Severus?" Olivia smirks
"I am sorry Liv, I had a terrible weekend, I was marking essays from Fifth and Sixth years, and all of them were dreadful, except the one from Percy Weasley, but all are dreadful" Severus sighs
"Aha, and let me guess, you had a blast on giving full marks from your house right?" Olivia said in a bored tone
Severus looks at her in a moment, and she looked even more beautiful with her hair made in a French Braid.
"Are you here going to sulk me Liv, give a man some break" Severus drawls
He didn't notice the close proximity she was doing, and the next thing he feels, two soft hands cupping his cheek
"What's up?" Olivia whispers
Severus resists the urge to shudder, he really loves how her touches only works for him
"It is about Damian ok" Severus whispers
She did an 'oh' sound and it infuriated him
"That's it, you do an 'oh' sound and you don't notice that we are losing him?" Severus did not mean to yell but he hates how the time is stalling
"Let me guess, the memory block charm is slowly breaking right?" Olivia said in a matter of fact
"And you are not afraid of losing him?" Severus whispers
"I guess it would be inevitable ok, what's the situation with Lily on our son?" Olivia asks
Severus rubs his temple for a moment and then began speaking
"She becomes very close but kept her distance, I think she remembers Liv, I have never seen her so withdrawn, and also it led me to think that she is waiting for the right moment to confront me and Albus" Severus responds
"What makes you sure about that?" Olivia asks while nibbling his earlobe
"She gave me a look, a mixture of anger and somehow pride" Severus tries not to groan, he is known to make loud noise while making love with Olivia
"Liv, I love the moment you are doing but can we make it a bit more private?" Severus asks
"Oh silly me, Silencio" She uttered the silent spell
"Now we can make all the noise we need, now shut up and make love to me" Olivia smirks
"What has come to you, you were never this horny? also shouldn't you be resting with the whole injured hand?" Severus smirks but kept his authoritarian tone going
"Well, on my training, I suddenly felt craving on seducing my man into making love for me, and it is just a scratch git so shut up and kiss me" Olivia smirks
He did as told and he crushed his lips over her soft lips, they were snogging good 2 minutes and then he boldly took off her skirt and then massages her thigh in which she lets out a loud moan
They continued on foreplaying with kisses and touches to their liking, a kiss from the earlobe, a kiss from the mouth, a kiss from his chest in which he groans, and then seconds later she whispers on his ear with some vulgar words and then the look of intense hunger radiates him
He boldly took off her blouse and took off her bra with ease where her bra fell down
He was amazed by the size of her breasts
"Are you sure Liv, we cannot do that, there might be a student passing by, asking some help" Severus did not stop, he was touching her in right spots
"Uh huh and you seem to care about that, by touching my breasts" Olivia moans
"Did you lock the door?" Severus eyes her with such hunger
"I told you many times, yes, now shut up and fuck me" Olivia said in between her cries in pleasure
"With pleasure" Severus growls
Within a second, they are connected
He started slowly and then eventually worked his way on thrusting faster where they enjoyed good making love session until they came with pleasure in climax
They took turns on making love on the table and some positions they have never tried at home
Severus eventually transfigured his desk into bed and they had finished their business until they drift off to sleep
Severus woke up a couple hours later, wondering why he is on a bed with a naked woman cuddling him until he remembered that they made love
She was snoring lightly and he loved it
He carefully took off his hands and turns to transfigure a chair into his desk in order to finish grading the remaining essay papers
'At least some time to kill before she wakes up and drag me' Severus ponders
He finished marking the essay and went to continue to sleep along with his wife for some hours until she wakes up and heads back to his house
Several hours later, it was evening and Olivia left his room, it was eerily quiet at a moment and then a familiar raven peaked through the window
He opened the window and lets the raven to come in
The raven as usual, carries a letter
He thanked the raven by giving it an extra food and began reading the familiar letter
Severus,
Meet me tonight at Hogsmeade station, I will fill you in on what's happened
Your friend
RAB
Severus sighs, yet again Regulus wants to meet him
When does he know that he is uninterested on this whole Horcrux thing
Severus actually gave up on researching it and he is known to be researching something that is interesting until he gets bored from it
That one for instance is much more different, because there are no information, anything that regards this 'Horcrux' but alas Regulus has some weird fascination of it
It was dark already, so might of getting some fresh air
He took his dark robe and billowed away to head Hogsmeade Station
Hogsmeade Station
He arrives the station and sees a tall dark figure, motioning him to follow him
Severus follows the figure into parts of the Forbidden Forest and then they slowed down
"What's the meaning of this Regulus?" Severus asks in a bored tone
"I think I have a lead on finding Helga Hufflepuff Cup" Regulus responds in a bored tone also
"Helga Hufflepuff cup? I thought this one got stolen?" Severus ponders
He heard about it during his time as a Death Eater
He remembers bits and pieces from the Dark Lord on securing the object, but didn't know why
"Actually not stolen Severus, you see. Tom wanted to hide his objects securely since they contain pieces of his soul, I know Dumbledore has his ring, while Lucius has his diary. The Locket is very hard to find but I am working on it, as for Helga Hufflepuff, I got words from some drunken fool that Evan Rosier, along with Lord Nott, that they manage to hide the cup somewhere in Ireland, so it might be very risky and dangerous" Regulus said
"Why is that?" Severus did not care from this whole thing but judging how serious his friend is, he does not want to hurt his friend's feelings
"That is because Tom escorted himself there, so you can tell that in some location in Ireland, you can bet it is filled with dark magic, curses, and hexes" Regulus said
"I see, and you want my help correct?" Severus asks rhetorically
"Well... Yes, but there will be something you will not be comfortable about it" Regulus said
"And why should I be uncomfortable about it?" Severus peaks his interest a bit
"In this dangerous mission, I had personally assigned from Professor Dumbledore to bring a team, Me and you ofc, but there will be two men that I know you will have some grudge about it. I had personally invited Lord James Potter and Lord Frank Longbottom" Regulus blurts out and went silent
Severus grasps the words his friends are saying and did not twitch nor hesitation as his friend should be expecting
"I may not like it, working alongside with Potter but he saved my life and I am a bit grateful about it" Severus responds
"You are?" Regulus sound hopeful
"What for? to hold a childhood grudge on something stupid and irrational? I gave up on those a long time ago Regulus, I still remember how Sirius was very angry from me and how hurt he was when he saw you injured, don't make me regret my decision now. I am ok for it, truce" Severus responds
"That's wonderful Severus, never thought to paint you a a mature one" Regulus grins
"So where do you want me to join this 'adventure'?" Severus asks
"Not sure, not in Halloween since I need to lay low, I think I was being watched, don't worry, I can handle it, it is something silly, I will let you know about when and where to meet, until then, see you later Severus" Regulus said, giving his longtime friend a hug and left
Severus watches the heir of Black, leaving, and wonders himself what has gone to him in order to accept this ridiculous mission
He sighs and continues to head back to his room and call it a night.
Several weeks later
It is Halloween!
Damian usually loves Halloween but this one is plainly agonizing and boring
He is stuck, with Hermione on a study basis in the library , yet they refuse to look at each other
He sighs and continues to write a hefty essay from History of Magic
The sounds of quills scribbling and light breathing had deafened him
It plucked the switch in a respectful way, he attempts to whisper to Hermione in order to talk to him
What he saw was unexpectable, he sees her dropping the quill and dragged him away from the library
She seems to take her time and then dropped the bomb
"WHY DO I CARE? WHY SHOULD I BE CARING ON SOME SELFISH, EGOTISTICAL, ATTENTION SEEKING TOE RAG IN WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO REASON THAT IT IS WRONG AND YOU WILL BE IN TROUBLE, BUT NOOO WHO WOULD BE LISTENING ON A BOOKWORM, KNOW-IT-ALL LIKE ME RIGHT? AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAD NO FRIENDS BACK IN PRIMARY SCHOOL, I WAS ALL ENGROSSED ON BOOKS AND GETTING HIGH MARKS, NO ONE WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH ME UNTIL I THOUGHT OF SEEING YOU AS A FRIENDLY ONE, YOU HAD HURT ME DAMIAN, RON WANTED TO BEFRIEND ME OUT OF PITY SO I COULDN'T CARELESS, I THOUGHT YOU ARE DIFFERENT AS A FRIENDLY WAY. IF YOU SEE THERE IS NO PROBLEM ABOUT IT THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM ITSELF, NOW EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE WHERE NO ONE WOULD WANT TO FIND ME!
She stormed off quick, earning students to see the commotion and it puzzled Damian
Damian tried to follow where she is heading but she was fast, that it was impossible to find her
He gave up and came back to the Main Hall for the Halloween feast
He sat sulkily and watches his friends enjoying the feast
Suddenly he doesn't feel hungry but helped himself some candies that were on the table
"Why the long face?" it was Neville asking
"What?" Damian tries to hide it but it was too obvious
"I know you Damian, aside Heather, I am the only one who sees the real you" Neville said
"Thanks for stating the obvious Neville, I am fine, really, it is just I had tried to talk to Hermione" Damian blurts it out
"What about Hermione" It was the slightly loud voice of Ron
"Damian tried to talk to Hermione" Neville filled in
"Oh, she is mental, she has been bossing us around, no wonder she has no friends" Ron utters
"That's not nice Ron, she was telling me this, but more of a loud way" Damian said
"Oh sorry, I was just, I don't like how she controls our study scheme" Ron said
"You say this because you want to spend more time on eating than studying" Neville chuckles
"Prat" Ron smiles
Damian joins the laughter and then they spend the rest of the evening in a blissful Halloween feast until the sound of the lightning and a loud yell from the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirell
"TROLLLLL IN THE CASTLE" The frantic professor screams
He ran towards the table where the professors sitting and then collapsed on the floor, signaling the students to scream and cower in fear
They were standing up and trying to flee the moment until a roaring sound of the headmaster pretty much told them to stay put
"SILLLLEEEEENNNCCCEEE" The headmaster said
"Prefects, escort the students back to their dorm rooms immediately, Now go" the headmaster said
"Come along Gryffindors, follow me" Percy ushers the first years
Damian, Ron, and Neville followed pursuit, toward the Gryffindor common room
"How did the Troll managed to go inside the castle?" Ron asks
"Me neither, I thought the castle is enchanted" Neville responds
"Beats me, all we have to do is warn Hermione, Merlin Hermione!" Damian almost yells
He slips through the crowd of students and headed toward where she is going
Ron and Neville came from behind and then in a second later Heather?
"What are you guys doing? go to your dorm rooms, I have to find Hermione" Damian tries to reason
"Not a chance mate, Hermione is also our friend, I will never forgive myself if something to happen to her" Ron replies
"Also it is my first ever adventure albeit dangerous but it should be exciting" Heather smiles
"Alright, you lot three follow me, I don't know where to find her, but it should be something to find" Damian said and they nod
It is not that simple to find a lone first year girl on a huge castle like this, it is where to find.
The stairs magically move from one direction to the another and the chambers 'disappear' so it would be next to impossible to find her
It was hopeless for Damian at first but was nudged from Ron on a giant troll, lurking around the halls
The loud scream that was mistakenly Hermione, gave them away her location
The yell also attracted the troll and they followed the beast where it was banging something look like a bathroom?
"We cannot let the troll get inside, we must have a plan" Damian said
"I have a plan" Ron implies
"You do?" Damian doesn't want to be sound hopeless, Ron can be a bit clumsy sometimes
"Yeah follow me" Ron says
Damian nods, he follows his best mate, and they stood face to face with the troll
Damian embraces himself for the impact but what happened next, made him underestimate Ron
"Hey freak, pick on something your own size, Accio" Ron says
He watches his friend bringing what seems to be a rock, big enough to be a boulder, and then he watches his friend, aiming at the confused monster, knocking it on the floor
"Now go and bring Hermione" Ron shouts, Damian nods and ran toward the bathroom
He entered the bathroom and heard a loud sob
He tried to call her name "Hermione, where are you?" Damian shouts
Soon after, Neville and Heather came behind him, worried sick about their friend
"In here, on the last bathroom toilet on the left" Hermione utters
Damian went to the left and sees her, tear-stained, and her hair frizzled.
It was Heather who hugged her, and Damian sighs in relief that his friend is unharmed
"You all came back for me?" Hermione croaks
"Actually it was Damian who was worried about you" Heather winks
"You di...Aaah" Hermione screams
Damian turns to see Ron, smudged by the boogers of the troll
"Yuck, this foul creature pretty much sneezed at me, a little help please" Ron said
"Ok, Neville distract the troll, Heather you try to aim at the legs, I will do something very stupid" Damian said
"And what stupid thing you might going to do?" Heather made the 'look' sound
"You will see" Damian smiles mischievously
His friend Neville went to distract the raging monster, while his best friend Heather, aimed hexes on it's legs
Damian attempts to jump at the right moment where the troll lunges its arms, and attempts to slide on it's neck, as if riding a horse
He attempts to blind the troll but alas it didn't work, it instead made the monster very angry so it threw three kids with such force
Damian landed on top of Heather, hearing a small 'Oww'
Ron was still covered by the boogers and Neville had small bruises
"Would you move your bum away from me? Heather asks, clearly annoyed
"Oh sorry" Damian flushes out of embarrassment
"Now what?" Damian asks
"I have no plan now" Heather responds
"Me neither" Neville rubs his arms
"Oh I have a plan, Ronald, remember what I have told you in charms, now do the swish and flick" Hermione yells
Damian watches his flinching friend, mostly because the ginger haired boy was covered by slimy boogers, nod
He watches his friend attempting to utter Wingardium Leviosa and it worked, he manages to levitate the troll's cub and then with a flick, he manages to let the cub fall down on top of the troll where the troll fell on the ground
It was so loud that it felt like earthquakes toward Damian and his friends
A sound of adults coming by and there she was, Professor McGonagall, his father, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher
"What is the meaning of this? and why aren't you kids back to your dorm rooms? explain to me" The stern professor asks
Damian and his friends were unable to speak, he chances a glance over his father, and his father looked at him in a furious look
He might as well join a detention so he attempts to speak
"It was me professor" The unexpected sound of Hermione almost caught him off guard
"I was looking for the troll and was stuck on the bathroom until my friends came and save me" Hermione said
He couldn't believe what he is hearing, his friend, the 'always-looking-for-the-best' friend, is lying to save him, to cover his mistakes!
"Is this true Miss Granger?" The stern professor asks
"Yes professor" Hermione said
Somehow Damian could feel the cold look of his father, penetrating him, it is as if his father does not believe her, not even a second, he believes that his father knows he is the one who is looking for trouble
It even made it even more obvious when he made a quick glance and sees a mixture of sneer and smirk 'Oh he is in big trouble' Damian thought
"I may admire your bravery Mister Snape, Miss Haddock, Mister Longbottom and Mister Weasley in which I hand you 50 points to Gryffindor and 50 points to Ravenclaw" The stern professor said
"But you four broke the laws of the school, so 50 points deducted to each of you, now go back to your common rooms, we will discuss your punishment first thing in the morning" the stern professor said
Damian looks on the ground, a month in Hogwarts and he had already caused enough trouble to expel him and his father will loathe him for his trouble-seeking nature
He couldn't bear looking at his father while walking towards his common room
How he will explain to his father, that his friend was in danger, but on the other hand, he had just broken a lot of school laws, so this might overpower his heroic tendencies.
He, Ron, Neville, and Hermione managed to arrive safely, He bid farewell for Heather, since she was going on the other direction toward her dorm room.
"Well that was some night" Ron manages to break the awkward silence
"I second that, our first, dangerous, adventure" Neville said
"I may sound hypocritical but I had fun" Hermione remarks
All turned to look at the bushy haired girl, where she is flushing red out of embarrassment
"What? You all saved me, it was fun in an unconventional way" She retorts
"I couldn't believe it, miss know-it-all had fun" Ron smirks
"Oh shut it Ronald, just because it was a crazy night, does not mean we will do it again right? Right?" Hermione repeats
"I think I have caused enough trouble to put you three in" Damian frowns
"What are you talking about Damian?" Hermione asks
"No, listen, being near with me will put you all in trouble again, I say leave me alone" Damian turns around, he does not want to look at his friends for his trouble-seeking nature
What he did not expect was a friendly laughter from his friends
He turns to see them, the three of them smiling towards him
"That was some nonsense Damian, you know that we are always with you, also trouble or not, we are right beside you" Ron smiles
"Also you have saved me, I am sorry for screaming at you, I am just, I was scared from you at that time, when you gave me the look" Hermione said
"You guys forgive me? after what I am putting you all in?" Damian couldn't believe that
"Yes, we are your friends, friends stick together" Ron made a thumbs up
Damian felt soft tear leaking, it was very soft but it was evident
"Thank you, thank you all" Damian whispers
They all made one-side hug, and they all bid for the night
Damian sat on the bed, staring at the full moon, wondering how they can believe him, he really appreciates that he has friends that were very loyal to him
He laid in the bed, and lets out a smile, despite he will have a 'talk' with his father the next day.
Headmaster's Office
"The troll is escorted safely to the forbidden forest Albus" Professor McGonagall spoke
"Very well, you may leave Minerva, have a safe night" Albus said
Severus turns to leave as well, but was stopped from Albus
"Severus, stay. I want to have a word from you" Albus said
Severus watches the twitching DADA professor leaving and the head of Gryffindor professor leaving the room
Hearing the door shut, Severus turns to whisper to the headmaster about his suspicion
"I suspect Professor Quirrell was the one who allowed the troll Headmaster Dumbledore" Severus whispers
"There's no need to whisper Severus, the room is enchanted after they leave, and your suspicions were correct" Albus smiles
"My question is how did he let the troll get in? and what's his purpose?" Severus ponders
"I think you already know the answer of the second question Severus" Albus replies
"But the stone is heavily guarded?" Severus asks
"True, but it gives enough time for our 'friend' there to discover where it is hidden, the thing is, he doesn't. It is safely hidden in the third floor on the room of the right" Albus said
"And how are you so sure about that?" Severus eyes the headmaster
"I may have had help with dear old friend Nicolas Flamel" Albus responds
"I see, you want me to confront our 'friend'?" Severus asks
"No, let's see what he is planning, with that, we do nothing" Albus answers
"I am not sure headmaster, it is too risky to let our friend loose, not with the boy is close proximity toward him and Lily too, if the Dark Lord to sense Lily being alive, he will kill her" Severus remarks
"Don't worry about that, I will personally keep an eye on Professor Potter, with that, you are dismissed" Albus said
Severus bid farewell to the headmaster and left the chamber, heading to his dungeon chamber
He enters the dungeon chamber and closed the chamber wandlessly
He sat on his desk, and rubbed his temple that a headache beginning to annoy him
"Is this is how you greet your master, Severus" A soft voice said
Severus grew alarm and disarms his wand, but felt a stronger force of rope hitting at him and binding him
"I am disappointed in you Severus, I always thought you are much more quicker and smarter than my followers" The unmistaken sound of the Dark Lord
Severus watches the face of Quirrell, no not Quirrell, the pale white face, the scorching red eyes of the Dark Lord, but how?
"I managed to possess the stuttering fool for some time, you see, this body is rejecting me, sensing that I shouldn't be in this body, which is why I am buying its time, I don't know where the stone is, but believe me this my loyal follower, when I regain my body and my strength, I shall punish you first, since you did not bother looking for me" The Dark Lord said
"But I thought you are in Albania my lord" Severus lies, but senses probing in his mind
"I was indeed in Albania, despite I am wondering how you knew that, but I didn't bother since you have been asking nicely, I have found this wretched body when he was wandering in the forest alone" The Dark Lord sneers
"I had heard the stones when I possessed this body as I was biding my time in Albanian streets, since then I had tried to reach Wormtail, I knew he was guarding the forest, but it was impossible to reach him, so I found you." The Dark Lord continues
"I found a perfect spy for me, I am counting on you Severus, Lucius and his friends don't know that I am still alive, which is why we keep this silent" The Dark Lord said
"Oh I know the boy is alive, I have sensed something strong, stronger than I can possibly imagine, I imagine that Wormtail failed the mission, so with that, I will personally punish him as soon as I regain my body" The Dark Lord said
"What's this? Ah I sense weakness in you Severus, ah I see, the Redhead mudblood is also here" The Dark Lord sneers
"No! I will personally aid you my lord, please anything but her" Severus begs
"No need, I am biding my time, with this, I honor your pleading, if you betray me, I will not hesitate to find your beautiful wife, and personally kill her and your precious friend Lily Evans" The Dark Lord smirks
"I will let you off the hook, but remember the punishment Severus, and don't come find me, lest not make the fool Dumbledore suspicious on our intentions, now goodbye my loyal follower" The Dark Lord said
Severus felt the rope disappears, but the feeling of his skin burn was still there, he utters Silencio and then lets out an ear-shattering yell where the windows of his chamber shatters
He went on venting his anger on throwing papers on the floor, potions, scattering on the ground, and broke couple chairs
He calmed down, and he felt his heart beating very fast, his eyes widened of thinking that the Dark Lord must have sent one of his followers to attack Olivia!
He closed his dungeon room and ran toward the common floo fireplace in Hogwarts and whispers 'Snape Flat London'
Snape Flat, London
He arrived on a thud, it was brink of midnight, but he didn't care, he has to see her, he has to calm his thumping heart
He opens the door with a bang and sees her waking up quickly
"Severus? Are we being attacked?" Olivia said in a sleepy tone
Severus watches the sleep tousled look of Olivia, and fell on his knees with tears on his eyes
"Severus" He heard Olivia grew alarm
He didn't feel his tears flowing freely until he felt soft hands cupping his sobbing face
"Severus tell me what is going on?" Olivia asks in a worry tone
He still remembers the threat from the Dark Lord, he thought one of the followers Severus might know would attack her, in order to spite him
There is one thing Severus couldn't get out of his head, the sudden urge to protect Olivia, Damian, and Lily
Damian would never love him as his 'son' after learning the truth, but Severus must protect the boy away from the Dark Lord, He does not want the boy to be the soldier as Dumbledore wants to
He wants the boy to have some childhood experiences
When the time is right, the boy must learn his true destiny, is to face against the most powerful and evil wizards.
Now is not the time to do that, he must have a normal childhood
"Severus" Olivia sounds desperate
He snapped into her soft voice, and he turned to look at her beautiful eyes, the eyes that warmed him into becoming a human
With no thinking, he went to kiss her, passionately
He felt she was surprised at first but she kissed back
They spent several minutes snogging, and then within a second, he grabbed her into their bed, and managed to undress her night gown
Just to feel her is enough for him that he is safe
Her soft mousy brown hair, is enough to make him alive
And her eyes is to make him that he is always there to protect her and their family
"Make love to me" Olivia whispers
Severus nods, he manages to take off his raven colored cloak and then they connect by thrusting harder and more efficient
They came with pleasure and he laid there, staring at the dark ceiling, feeling blessed that with what happened to him, at least he has her beside him, and that's enough.
And that's a wrap for this chapter. DADA is a short word of you guessed it Defense Against the Dark Arts, I will be attempting to do that more often, so stay tuned for this
