Price of Fame (A Snarry and Remy/Dra RP)-Part 6

*later tht evening, Severus decided to pay a visit to Remus to give him his Wolfsbane and also to chk on him*

Severus: Come along, Harry. I want to go visit my colleague. I need u to carry some stuff for me

Harry: Yes, sir. *carries everything he can*

Severus: *took his shoulder n led him to the fireplc to Floo into Remus' home*

Draco: *was learning how to at least make soup wen they came in* Un...Uncle Sev...! *hid behind Remus*

Harry: *falls out after Severus, flat onto his face*

Remus: *comes in the room* Severus, right on time.

Severus: *rolled his eyes* Harry, be careful *picked Harry up onto his feet* Hey there, Lupin. Got ur wolfsbane, n I'm here to chk on Drake as well

Draco: *shook his head, still hidden behind Remus*

Harry: *sees Draco* *drops everything an runs to him, hugging him as tight as he can*

Remus: *takes the wolfsbane and downs it*

Draco: *shocked at seeing Harry* H...Harry?? Harry! *hugged him bk*

Severus: *waved a wand to pick up everything n levitated it onto the table* I see we've finally gotten ourselves acquainted there

Harry: *burries his face in Draco's chest and tears stream down his face at seeing his friend*

Draco: *rubbed his back* There, there, Harry. Its OK. I'm right here

Harry: *holds him as tightly as he can*

Severus: I see someone has reacquainted with his old friend

Draco: *hushed the whimpering Harry* Its alright. Ur safe now

Harry: *looks at him* Are you alright?

Draco: *smiled at him* I'm alright, Harry. What about u? U alright there?

Harry: *nods*

Severus: *turns to Remus* Lupin, since our assistants r that close, its only fair for u to know my assistant's secret, bt promise me it will not leave this room

Remus: *frowns* Is something wrong, Severus?

Severus: *sighed* U might wanna sit dwn for this *took a seat himself*

Remus: *sits down hesitantly*

Severus: *takes a deep breath* Remember the young boy whom everyone called the Boy Who Lived that finally defeated n killed the Dark Lord?

Remus: He was my best friend's child. Of course I remember little Harry.

Severus: *gestured at Harry's direction who is in Draco's arms* Ur looking at him right now

Remus: O_O What?!

Severus: *nods* Tht's right. Tht, my friend, is Harry Potter, in the flesh

Draco: *looked up, curious as to wht they were talking about*

Remus: *faints*

Draco: Master! *quickly ran to him to tend to him*

Severus: *rolled his eyes* Harry, go chk in the bathroom to see if he has any smelling salts

Harry: *nods and does so quickly*

Severus: *tries to get Remus to the couch*

Draco: * helped him as well*

Harry: *comes back and puts the smelling salts in front of Remus*

Remus: *gasps, coming awake*

Severus: Welcome bk to the living, Lupin

Draco: *sighed in relief to see Remus alright*

Remus: *looks at Harry* ...Harry?

Draco: U knw him?

Remus: ... *looks at him* He's the reason that we are no longer at war.

Draco: Wht? Him? He is the one who killed Voldemort? I thought...I thought the Ministry took care of the bad guy. Father said...

Remus: *shakes his head* No, Draco.

Draco: *looked at Harry with marvel*

Severus: U must promise me that this must not leave the room. Never speak of this to anyone

Draco: Huh? Bt why?

Remus: He is supposed to be living with his family... living a normal life.

Severus: Yes, that's right. Try thinking in his shoes: If you were the person who saved the world, but have no idea about it, living as a slave all your life, and suddenly you are thrust in the world where everyone sees you as a hero. How would you feel?

Draco: *looks at Harry* I guess I see your point there, Uncle Sev. But still, it's sad that his great deeds go unnoticed like this

Remus: He was not supposed to be a slave!

Severus: And yet he is. How ironic is that? The Boy Who Lived rendered to such level

Draco: *felt sorry for his little friend*

Harry: *frowns* I don't understand what you are talking about, Sirs..

Severus: *shook his head* It's better if you don't know right now, Harry. Oh, another thing, you all must address him as Mark Featherworth in public

Remus: *nods* Understood.

Draco: Why?

Severus: The last thing we need is to have the public overwhelming Harry right now. So, how is it that you were able to be close to Harry?

Harry: *scoots close to Draco*

Draco: Well, I guess I had a hand in it, coz I saw him being bullied by the slaver for not wanting to give him head, and I was at a really bad mood at the time for thinking about why my father sold me, so I stormed up to him and attacked the slaver. It was never meant for me to save him, but somehow I did, and Harry's been attached to me since

Harry: *rests his head on Draco's lap*

Severus: Hm, I can see that. Figures. And would u like to tell me how did you end up in the slave trade?

Draco: *frowned* Ask Remus. I dont like repeating sob stories

Remus: I'll tell you later.

Severus: *raised a brow, but decided to let it go* Fine. But remember what I said on how to behave with Harry in public

Draco: *nodded*

Harry: *hugs Draco*

Draco: *smiled and patted his head*

Severus: Has he got started on being an assistant?

Remus: *nods* He has been helping me with some research.

Severus: Ah, on that extermination job of yours huh?

Remus: *nods* Mmhmm. We managed to capture some of the pests as well.

Severus: Interesting. I might need extracts of certain pests you've caught for my supplies, of course

Remus: Sounds fine, as long as you're willing to pay for them.

Severus: *chuckles* Ever the money-minded man, eh? Sure. What do you have?

Draco: Wanna come play in my room, Har?

Harry: *looks to Severus*

Severus: *nods* Run along now, Harry. But be here when I call to leave

Harry: *small smile* Thank you, sir. *goes with him*

Draco: *takes Harry's hand and led him to his room*

Harry: *goes with him*

Remus: I'm money minded because I need it and you know it. Plus now I've got another mouth to feed.

Severus: Fair enough. Something does puzzle me though...Where have Harry been after the war? Everyone said that he probably grew up somewhere with relatives, living the quiet life, but I never expected it to be this. Doesn't Dumbledore even follow up on him at all, since I heard he was the one to handle the passing to next of kin?

Remus: I don't know. He wouldn't allow me to see Harry.

Severus: Neither did he allow me. *sigh* I swear sometimes I blame that old geezer for being the cause of this war
