chapter 43

Title: Furry Magic, chapter 43

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A/N: I have always, for reasons too numerous to state here, spelled God Ghod. Suffice to say it is one of my quirks, and let it pass.


Yaji lifted Draco onto the bed, settling him on top of the furs, wrapped head to foot in towels. He was only just keeping himself from shaking as he cradled Draco. Mantheer was right behind him, circling around, watching for any potential harm. He was well aware of the new threat posed by Andromeda, and the pride\'s inability to keep her from the Manor. It was hoped that Bill could devise a specific ward to keep her away, as he was a well known curse-breaker. Until then, Draco would have two, very attentive body guards.

Mantheer let the tall, dark haired Potion\'s Master begin his examination, but hovered near, almost on top of the other man, so close their clothing brushed. The man smelled of herbs, smoke, and crushed insects. And a tiny bit of something dark and sweet, maybe chocolate?

Snape peeled back the towels with care. After sending a quelling glare at the brown haired, tanned, hulking man who snarled at him as he neared, Severus eyed the wounds critically. Some were fairly deep, but all seemed clean now after the prolonged soak in the bathing pool. And the lycanthropes had been admirably thorough in their attentions, he had to grudgingly admit. He\'d rarely seen a better job done by a medi-witch or wizard, most didn\'t have the patience for it.

\"Stand back, if you please. I can feel you breathing down my neck. *Literally*. It is absolutely impossible to work with you hanging over me.\" The black eyes glittered, showing no fear of the towering guardian were-leopard. Mantheer took a step back, then solved his dilemma by walking around to the other side of the bed and sitting next to Draco. From that vantage he could reach out and slap the wizard out of range if he offered the slightest harm to Draco.

Every gasp of pain resulted in Mantheer\'s lips peeling back from his teeth, showing elongating fangs. Draco reached out and fastened his hand around Mantheer\'s thick wrist. Mantheer leaned down immediately, rubbing his cheek over Draco\'s forehead, and hair. He kept up a calming rumble, a deep purr, occasionally lifting his head to show fangs in case the wizard might forget to be careful with his very precious patient.

The young blond man reached out his other hand and tried to soothe Yaji. Yaji kept up a low constant growl, that grew audible when the boy was hurt. Severus Snape rolled his eyes, pursed his lips tightly together, and studiously set about ignoring the two men. He turned and located Lucius, who was standing close by.

\"There is no problem with his pregnancy, Lucius. I will distill a preparation for pain, and one to fight infection, both will be safe for the child. He should rest in bed for one or two days, with supervision, you know how boys are when you give them instructions. They disregard them if at all possible. Then, in two days, he should be allowed up, also with supervision. Any signs of infection, or weakened condition, and I must be notified immediately. Now. Who will be changing the dressings?\"

Kaithas forestalled Yaji, who had opened his mouth to reply. \"Show me Potion\'s Master, and I will instruct the others if necessary.\" He was aware he was not going to be able to pry the two big were-cats away from Draco\'s side.

Bill Weasley was standing next to his brother, Charlie, and Lucius. Harry was sitting on the floor, still in were-form. Lucius rested a big hand on his head, slowly moving his fingers behind the large triangular ears. Harry stretched his neck, tilting his head back and purring, pressing his head against Lucius\' side, his mouth open just enough to show his teeth and lolling tongue.

\"I will get to work on a blocking spell, my king. The wounds while serious, don\'t look as grievous as I thought at first. But, knowing the bitch, she will be back for more.\" Bill said in an undertone. \"She will not stop until she wins what she believes in her due.\"

\"She must be kept from the pride\'s home. Or we must pursue her away from here, and kill her. I have been too lenient for too long. I will not tolerate the risk to the kittens if she can move in and out of the Manor without restriction. She will not be permitted to kill members of the pride.\" Lucius growled. His rage poured off of him. He blamed himself for not stopping his sister\'s delusions years ago.

\"How are Ron and the twins?\" Charlie asked after the three men had stood in silence for a time. He did want to know, but it was also to break the growing, tense silence.

Harry lifted his head and rowled an inquiry. His whiskers bristled forward in interest. his large, emerald green eyes shone with intelligence. Charlie laughed and leaned over to pet the inquisitive kitten.

\"Sorry, Harry. I can\'t understand you. Why don\'t you change back?\" The freckled man asked, scratching Harry under the chin. Harry\'s eyes closed in ecstasy. His tail quivering in delight.

\"He has a little trouble changing back to human form. The few times he\'s changed to were form it has taken hours for him to return to human, and usually it is a bit at a time.\" Lucius said while watching the tableau on the bed.

Draco looked more comfortable as Snape helped him drink some brew from a small cup, in tiny sips. Yaji had lifted Draco in his arms again, and was trying to take the cup from the wizard, but Snape snarled just as fiercely as the were-leopard and Yaji pulled his hand back.

Bill and Charlie both looked startled. Their attention was not on Yaji and Snape. They were both staring down at Harry.

\"He is able to maintain a partial form?\" Bill asked, at last. His bright blue eyes concerned.

\"Yes.\" Lucius confirmed, shortly. He ruffled the dark fur under his hand, pulling Harry tighter to him. The raven were-cat put a big paw over the man\'s foot, licked his hand, wetly.

\"You know the last one who was able to do that so young was....\" Charlie added in a rush, then stopped short of saying the name.

\"Voldemort.\" Lucius said into the silence, deliberately keeping his voice low, so only the four of them heard it. \"I remember.\"

Bill and Charlie turned their attention on the purring, giant were-feline sitting at their feet. Harry rubbed his cheek against Lucius\' hip, and purred even louder.
