Weeping Potions

Chapter 7

"I'm not leaving, till you help us!" Tom said, banging on the door. The dragon looks at the group. The person in the house, groans and footsteps headed towards the door. Tom steps back, as the door was thrown open. A woman glares at him, as she looks at the group. The woman had black hair up in a bun. Her brown eyes held anger. Her black dress was covered up by an baby blue apron with various bottles containing glowing liquids and tools.

"What? You kidnapped a child, this time?" The woman snapped at Tom. Tom glance at Severus and Harry.

"Would you be less mad if I said I'm adopting him?" Tom asked. The woman leans against the door, as she frowns.

"I'll help. After you apologize to my husband for that insult and blasting him into a tree." The woman said. Tom looks up at the dragon and sighs.

"What's the catch?" Tom said, as the woman smirks and points at the ground.

"You do your apology on your knees." The woman said. Remus covered his mouth to hide his laugh. Severus looks between the woman and Tom, curious, but confused on the relationship they have. Tom lets out a loud groan before walking to the side. Tom looks at the dragon.

"Might as well get down here." Tom said, as the dragon gets up and jumps off the trunk. The dragon landed in front of Tom and looks down at him as he sat.

"Go on, human. Do as my wife says." The dragon said. Tom looks back at Remus and Severus. Tom glares at the woman and looks back at the dragon. Tom kneels and bowed his head.

"I'm sincerely sorry for calling you, a heartless monster that shouldn't have married her, and for knocking you back into a tree. There. Now you will help the boy?" Tom asked, as he got up. The woman looks up at the dragon, who nods.

"Get inside and lay him on the table. I'll take a look." The woman said, as she walks inside. The dragon jumps up to the trunk, as the roof opens up, letting the dragon lay down to watch them from above. Remus walks in. Severus walked in holding Harry with Tom right behind him.

"How's life in the forest, Sarah?" Remus asked, as Severus lays Harry on the table. The woman glanced back at Remus and smiles.

"Just fine, Lupin. Is your wolf side more calmer now that Severus got my Wolfsbane?" The woman, now named Sarah, asked. Remus nodded.

"Yes. The potion is more efficient. I trust Severus making the potion. The transformation is still as painful, and I'm working with the wolf on that to have a sane mind when hunting." Remus said, as Sarah nodded.

"Your wolf needs to stop getting into my stash of food." The dragon said. Remus looks up and chuckles.

"Ah. Right. I'll see if the wolf can remember that." Remus said, as the dragon hums. Sarah walks over to the table.

"Go have a cup of tea while I check the boy over." Sarah said, as she puts on her glasses. Tom nodded, as he leads Severus into another room. Remus walks in behind them.

"And?" Severus asked as Sarah leans against the archway.

"Well. His magic core is leaking magic. There's a crack in it. Which is easy to fix. The problem is getting him a wand. He'll need a custom wand to help his magic have a focus point. His ability to do wordless and wandless is extraordinary, but extremely dangerous for a boy at his age. It's a surprise, even to me, that he's still alive for the amount of magic that's leaking into his body." Sarah said. Severus leans on his knees and held his head.

"But, you can help him?" Remus asked, hesitantly. Sarah hums, thinking before gasping.

"That's it! Jason! I need you to extract a drop of pure lightening essence. Tom and Severus. I need a drop of your blood. Remus. I need you to get a feather, two red marble black fangs, and the bleedimg stick from the top shelf. I'll get the other stuff." Sarah said, as the dragon stares at her.

"Are you insane? You're going to make that for him?! But, it's yours life work. You're going to waste all of your ingredients that you worked so hard to get. For this kid?!" The dragon asked, as Sarah sighs before smilling up at him.

"That's why I got extra. Now get to work, darling!" Sarah said, as she grabs some bottles from the bottom shelf. The dragon grumbles as he holds two of his claws close to each other. A spark starts moving between the tips of the claws.

...

Remus jumps up to a branch going across the top half of the shelves. Remus looks at the jars of feathers each a color.

"Did you want a white feather, red feather, or black feather?" Remus asked, looking down. Sarah was pouring a small amount of the liquids from the bottles she grabbed into the cauldron.

"The green one! I think it's  behind the black feathers!" Sarah said, and Remus moves the jar aside. Remus smiles and grabs a feather.

...

Tom picks up a small blade from the table.

"Severus?" Tom asked, as Severus stares the Harry's sleeping form. Severus jumps when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You can trust her. She knows what's she doing. I wouldn't have came here, if I didn't think I could get him help." Tom said. Severus glanced at him, before nodding.

"When this is done. There's something I want to ask you." Severus said, and Tom nods. Severus and Yom walks back over to Sarah as Remus jumps down with one hand holding a feather and the fangs. The other was holding a jar with sticks that had bled a drop of red sap joining the puddle at the bottom of the jar.

"Alright. Jason is almost done with that drop. Tom. Severus. One drop of blood. Remus add the feather after them and grind up the fangs while I stir." Sarah said, as she looks up at the dragon. The spark was becoming brighter.
