Shattered hearts (Severus Snape)

Chαρτεr Eighτεεn:Hoρε

Minerva and Albus rushed into Severus' room still in their night clothes as if they just got out of bed. Minerva gave Severus a side eye knowing she would tease him about Irene being in his room later on.

Albus looked at her eyes as they were crystal blue, the pupil was like a cats eye. Minerva looked at the moon as it was full and almost red, she pushed Severus out the bedroom and closed the door in his face.

"Where do we take her, Albus..?"

Minerva asked with a worried tone. Severus paced around in circles in the living room worried.

"We take her to the forbidden forest, we have to get her away from her.."

Severus stood at the door, listening in on their conversation.

"Do you think it has something to do with the mark...?"

"Perhaps, let's hope he doesn't find her during her tradition..."

Albus picked up Irene in his arms as they walked to the bedroom door.

"You know Severus will not agree to this"

He heard them nearing the door as he backed away acting as normal as he could. They walked through the door as Severus gave them a confused look on why Dumbledore was calling her.

"What's happening? Is she okay?"

He asked in a worried tone, Minerva walked along side him to explain what was happening as they walked down the dark corridors.

"It's apart of her curse, the blood moon that is out tonight only comes once a year, it will trigger the curse inside her, Causing her to lose consciousness of who she is..."

Minerva said, they walked out the corridor and out past Hagrid's hut to the dark forest.

They layed her down on the ground in a clearing of trees before they quickly walked away, but Severus stayed to ensure her safety. He turned around to head back to the castle as he was met with a giant wolf glaring down at him, he fell onto the ground startled as he looked up at the creatures bright yellow eyes. He closed his eyes in slight fear but nothing happened until he heard a loud crash and the smell of blood flooded his senses. He opened his eyes to see Irene and the giant wolf fighting, black horns were grown from her head, sharp canines teeth, claws like a bear and her black raven like wings scattering feathers everywhere. Golden and Red blood was dripped all over the grass and on them as they tore into each other.

He had never seen her so aggressive before, it almost scared him but he knew she was doing it to save him.

He was frozen in place, for what it seemed like hours they've been fighting. He turned to leave to get the help of others teacher for he knew he couldn't help her alone.

The horns disappeared as her eyes returned to normal, she was becoming weak and exhausted, the moon returned to its normal silvery white as she slammed into the ground struggling to get back up, golden blood seeped from her abdomen as the wolf towered over her glaring down at her. The wolf backed away as she fell onto the ground unconscious from the blood loss. The wolfs eyes softened looking down at her unconscious body as he knew her.

The wolf turned back into han as the moon faded away, it was professor Remus lupin. Waves of emotion swam through his body as he picked her up, guilt, worry and anger flooded in his mind, he never wanted this to happen, not her. Tears began to roll down his face as he searched for his wand, he screamed for someones help but no one came, he healed her, and healed her but nothing seemed to be working.

Remus' heart aches to see what he did to her, he wanted to hold her close to him but not like this, he hurt the women he feels in love with and he would never forgive himself it either. He held her close to his chest as he cried, he didn't pay any mined to what she was, he would do any for her to be okay.

"I'm so sorry, Irene..."

He dropped his wand realizing there was nothing more he could do. He clothes were torn and stained with both their blood. He turned his head with red teary eyes as Dumbledore rushed over to them, he looked around for Severus but did not see him and diverted his attention to Albus sitting in front of him.

"Irene? Irene speak to me..."

Albus said with a shaky voice. Remus held her tighter as his heart shattered knowing he did this to her, even when she belonged to another man he still loved her.

Severus pushed through everyone stopping in his tracks when he saw Remus holding her crying. Color drained from his face as he saw the large gash in her abdomen. He ran down to them sliding onto the ground as tears ran down his face.

"No, no, no, no..."

Severus repeated as he took her from Remus' arms. He held her close to his chest as he cried, he almost lost her once and he didn't want to do it again. Minerva cried in her hands with her back turned as Albus stood up walking over to her to comfort her. Severus grasped her hand in his, crying of the fear he lost her. Hope sparked into his eyes when he felt her squeeze his hand slightly, everyone's face lit up with hope including Remus.

Remus' heart will forever be filled with the guilt he hurt her, he was deeply afraid she wouldn't want to talk to him again after what he did. He didn't care what she was, human or elf he would hold her in his heart.
