That had just ben three days ago and Severus was fully healed. There wouldn’t even be scars. Seamus had established a link that would make it difficult to stay away from each other till Seamus reached sixteen. But now it would help him rescuing Seamus.
He sat him down on the bed in the Hospital Wing and began with „waking“ the bond.
As he held Seamus hand in his left he lay his right hand on the boys forehead. Now he could see what had happened on the Pitch and how Parkinson had again tried to hurt Seamus by manipulation the bludger so that it would attack Seamus from the side.
But why would Parkinson want to hurt Seamus?
He had tried to get her expeled after the explosion in the Potions Room, but her father convinced them to give her one more chance.
Now, that had been her chance and she blew it.
„Sev,...“
Surprised Severus looked down and saw that Seamus eyes were more focused than before.
„Seamus, how do you feel?“
„As if a Bludger hit me..“
„That would be because it really hit you, Mr. Finnigan.“ Dumbledore was standing behind the two and smiling as he saw Severus holding Seamus hand.
„But how? I am the keeper and...“
„It seems as if Mrs. Parkinson has made you her target, Seamus. Do you know why?“ asked Severus.
„She tried something three or four weeks ago.“ Here Seamus had to stop. It was rather embarassing to admit that a girl had tried to rape you.
„What did she try?“ Severus hated the girl more and more. What had she done to his Seamus?
„After our last Quidditsch training I stayed behind to shower while the others had to finish an essay for Transfiguration. So while I was in the shower someone came in and as I came out to dress...she sat there, naked. Said something about her knowing that I wanted her, to fuck her and be with her. She then stood up and tried to touch me, but I didn’t want it. I knew that Severus is my mate, so why would I want anyone else? Parkinson got angry and hit me with a spell...then she sat on my hip and started to touch me. That was when Ron came back because he forgot something. As he saw us there he thought that we were making out, just before he left he saw the wand in her hand and that I couldn’t move or speak. Ron then stunned her and ended the spell on me. You can’t imagine how ashamed I felt, a girl almost succeeded in raping me. Since then Ron is always near to make sure she doesn‘t try anything.“ Seamus was so embarassed that he couldn’t look up to Sev or Dumbledore. Would Severus even want him now?
Severus meanwhile saw red. Never had he been so angry. That Bitch had tried to rape his mate!
„Severus! Now would be a good time to tell your soon to be mate why you are so angry!“ Dumbledore had seen Severus face go from red to pale and back again. Seamus lay there in bed with Poppy fussing over him while he looked at Sev. He saw how angry Severus was and thought it was because of him...
As Severus looked to Seamus he saw fear in his eyes and felt bad. His mate had suffered again and this time because of him.
„Seamus, I am not angry with you. The Bitch...Sorry Albus, Parkinson will pay this time. When you are healed, would you like to have dinner with me in my quarters? With the Malfoys as Chaperones just to be sure I will not do something you might regret.“
„It would be my pleasure, Severus.“
