An Unexpected Guest

Once Henry left the common room, he started to walk to Severus quarters, but as he was about to knock on his husband's door, he heard Dumbledick's voice. "Severus, we need to get Henry on the lights side and have him spy on the Malfoys, they would never think that he would betray them after being taken in, he's the perfect spy." Dumbles said trying to convince Severus to talk to Henry but it seemed to only anger the Potions Master suggesting such a thing. "I will not subject Henry to your meddling Albus, for Merlin sake he has just lost his parents leave the young man alone, before your meddling gets you into trouble." Severus said wishing he could just curse the stupid idiot. Henry had heard enough and walked into Severus's room.

"How dare you! I am appalled at how you run things around here Headmaster, if my parents were alive, they would have you arrested and charged with child endangerment. I am seventeen years old, not only that but I could care less about the war this country as put themselves in, it's not the job of a child to fix what adults caused." Henry yelled at Dumbledouche who tried to look ashamed. "Henry I am just trying to win this war that is about to happen and your living with people who are in league with the man that could destroy the wizarding world, you're in the perfect position to get this chaos under control before it even starts." Dumb-as-a-door said hoping he could convince this boy to help since his weapon has disappeared.

"Help! Why would I betray my godmother when her family has been nothing but kind to me since I got here? Why would you think it is up to me to fix what you have caused? Because this whole war is your fault if anyone needs to fix this it's you and nobody else." Henry yelled but then continued with a smirk. "See Headmaster I did a little research on the one you call Voldemort and what do I find but a man who continued to allow a child who was being abused even though he asked you to help him get away from said abuse do nothing for the child. Not only that but you accused said child of being evil even before he entered the castle all because he could speak to snakes. You caused all of his professors but one to treat him with nothing but disgusted then when said child finds a book in the school library that should never have been there you do nothing but sit back and let him flounder as he because addicted to Black Magic. You are the cause and reason why we have Voldemort, yet you expect me a seventeen-year-old to help fix your mistake. The hell I will, I think I will let you flounder like you let him so many years ago. Now I believe you have a school to run, I would like to talk with Severus about the upcoming holidays and don't need your crooked nose listening in." Henry said giving Dumbles the gesture to leave the room. "I guess I can't change your mind, Severus I would like to see you in my office tomorrow to talk to you about the security measures for the holiday." Dumbleduck said as he left to go back to his office.

As soon as the door was closed Henry drew his wand and threw up privacy wards and anti-eavesdropping wards as well as a few parsle wards for good measure. "Now that I know we won't be disturbed how was your day my beautiful husband?" Henry asked as we walked over giving Severus a kiss then leading him to the couch to sit. "My day was quiet for the most part besides the trip to the goat's office with you and this encounter everything was going good." Severus said as he continued to tell him about the potion that he found in one of the books that Henry's dad let him borrow. "Do you think the potion will work? I mean if I can help Neville get his parents back that would help get his gran out of the goat's pocket." Henry asked hoping that this new potion would bring back the Longbottom's from their insanity. "Yes I have tested it on another patient who has been exposed to that curse for as long as Frank and Alice were and he is said to make a full recovery has to relearn how to walk and talk but it's better than the vegetable state that they are in now." Severus said smiling at his husband who looked so happy that he could not help but feel happy as well.
