Chapter 7 - Pain
Later that night Rubia woke up in a very big four poster that was quite obviously not her own. It took her a few moments to remember where she was, and when she did her heart gave a little leap. She rolled over to face Severus, but when she couldnt find him she frowned. That wasnt right! She sat up straight in bed, shivering from the cold of Severus` chambers.
Something else didnt feel right either. Call it women`s intuition or whatever, but she knew that something wasn`t right. She slowly pulled back the covers and hunted around in the dark for her clothes, which were nowhere to be found, she grabbed Severus` black satin pyjamas from where they were draped at the end of the bed and pulled them on, loving the feel of the satin against her bare skin. Her feet were freezing still, so she grabbed an oversize pair of Severus`socks and pulled them on.
Rubia padded through the bedroom into Severus` living room, a vast stone walled room decorated predominantly in silver and green. What Rubia found there was not what she was expecting at all.
Albus Dumbledore`s head was sitting in the middle of the fireplace, a serious look on his face, his eyes no longer twinkling. Rubia jumped as she caught sight of him, and then relaxed.
\"Headmaster! What are you doinere?ere?\"
\"Rubia, could I ask you to step into my office? There is something that I need to talk to you about. It concerns Severus.\"
Rubia fairly flew from the dungeons up to Dumbledore`s office. What was it that Dumbledoeedeeeded to talk to her about? As she knocked on the door she felt ready to burst. She needed to know now that he`d said something.
As she opened the door she gasped. The sight that met her eyes was not pleasant indeed. There was her lover, her dark haired, dark eyed lover, slumped unconscious against the stone wall, his hair dishevelled, his face pale and blood running down his face from cuts above his hairline and over his cheek. What startled Rubia the most was the trickle of blood running down his chin from his mouth.
\"Severus!\" she cried, running over to him and falling to her knees beside him and caressing his broken and bloody face. She looked up at Dumbledore who gently pulled her away from Severus, tears starting to run down her face.
\"What happened?\"
Dumbledore sighed. He took Rubia by the hand and helped her into the chair by his desk. Then he muttered a small spell to send Severus to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was used to him arriving in a bad way. She usually had him fixed up for classes the next day. Dumore ore didnt think shed be able to do so well this time. Severus was in a terrible state this time.
Dumbledore spent the rest of the night telling Rubia about Severus` past. She sat there very quietly, her legs hugged up against her chest and tears falling steadily down her cheeks. Albus found telling her all this quite disturbing. He didnt like to be reminded of his failure to stop Severus from joining the deatheaters. The only good part of the story for him was telling how he persuaded Severus to join the Order of the Phoenix.
When he had finished Rubia said quietly,
\"He is so brave!\". Then she gave in to the tears that were falling and sobbed like her heart had broken.
---
Severus had three broken ribs, internal bleeding and a nasty concussion. Madam Pomfrey had done her best but he still needed bedrest. He hadn`t regained consciousness and the internal bleeding was giving madam Pomfrey some problems. Dumbledore had given Rubia all the time that she needed, asking Flitwick to cover her classes and McGonagall to cover Severus`. Rubia sat by Severus` bedside, holding his hand and occasionally smoothing back his hair. She even ate at his bedside, and even then not much. She slept for two nights in the chair that she had put there, until Madam Pomfrey conjoured a bed beside Severus` own.
On the fourth day, just as Madam Pomfrey was beginning to get very worried, he came to. The first thing he saw was Rubia`s smiling face as his eyes fluttered open. She leaned over and, without saying anything, kissed the tip of his long nose.
For the next two weeks, Severus took it easy, resting in the hospital wing, and later on in his chambers. Rubia at his side the whole time, helping him, caring for him, showing without words that she loved him. She didn`t ask him about what had happened, knowing full well that he would tell her when he was ready.
Those two weeks were bliss for Rubia and Severus, no students, no classes, just each other. The love that they showed each other wasn`t physical, Severus wounds wouldn`t have been able to stand it, but they both knew it was there. There was only one thing worrying Severus... Alissa... did Rubia know about her?
