After about 45 minutes, Severus came out of the ward. "Their memories have been extracted and Healer Duvall and Master Mind Healer Cromwell who will be treating them afterwards if my potion is successful, are viewing them now."
"Why would you want to see memories of somebody being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse?" Harry asked, making a face.
"To get a better understanding of what kind of post-treatment they are going to need. Healer Duvall was saying they will definitely need physical rehabilitation of some kind and he may refer them to a therapist he knows who is a Squib and works in the Muggle world."
"How do Alice and Frank seem to you right now?" Lily asked. "Without those awful memories replaying inside their heads all the time, I mean."
"Right now, they seem blank, but I can tell their bodies appear a lot more relaxed and their muscles are not as tight as they appeared to be before," Severus answered. "When I administer my potion, it will take away any pain they are feeling and start to repair the nerve damage or regenerate new nerves if the damage is too severe to repair. They may also need to take a muscle regenerative potion."
"I sure hope it works, Dad," Harry said fervently. "It would be so great if Neville could have his parents back by the time the holiday start."
A Medi-Witch peeked out of the ward. "Professor Snape, Healer Duvall and Healer Cromwell are ready for you now."
Severus nodded. "When I am done here; we can go to McDonalds for lunch. It will take at least a week before we can know for sure if my potion is working."
"Okay Dad," Harry replied. "At least we can be sure we won't run into James and Sirius there."
Severus had determined based on Alice and Frank's weight that his potion would need to be administered every 12 hours. He spelled it into them and Healer Cromwell cast another spell that would allow them to sleep naturally.
"Now we wait," Severus said.
"Yes. We will inform you immediately if there any changes to their condition," Healer Duvall said. "Once they're fully awake I will prescribe a muscle regenerative potion for them to take also."
As he was headed towards the door, Augusta Longbottom stopped him. "I want to thank you for what you're doing for Alice and Frank, Professor."
"I wish I had thought of it right after it happened, Mrs. Longbottom, but I, like the healers, just accepted that their condition was irreversible."
"It's enough that you're doing something now."
"Thank you, Mrs. Longbottom," Severus replied nodding. He left the ward and after Severus transfigured his robes into jeans and a jumper, they flooed to the Leaky Cauldron. They left by the front entrance on Charing Cross Road and Severus summoned a Black Cab to take them to the nearest McDonalds. They ordered their food and sat down in a booth. Severus cast a non-verbal Muffliato and said, "I have been thinking when we find the last horcrux I would like to take them to Healer Dordt to see if he knows of any way they can be cleansed of You-Know-Who's soul pieces. I hate the thought of destroying artifacts that have belonged to the Founders."
"It's certainly worth a try, Sev," Lily said.
"Maybe his mentor, the one in Africa he talked about can help," Harry suggested.
"And the pieces of soul can be reunited," Severus added nodding.
"I hope one of the elves spots the diadem or we could be months even years searching for it in there," Lily said.
"Maybe if you had more searchers…me and my friends would be willing to help and that would be eight more people plus I'm sure the twins, Lee, Percy, and Cedric would be willing to help too."
"It would add more eyes," Lily pointed out.
"Yes it would, but it might also attract Professor Dumbledore's attention."
"We could at least give it a try, Dad," Harry said. "Like mum said more eyes are better."
Severus thought about it. What Lily said made sense, but they would still have to be careful. "Alright, invite your friends to study in our quarters after dinner. You do that often enough that Professor Dumbledore will not be suspicious. I will speak to the Mr. Weasleys, Mr. Jordan, and Mr. Diggory on the pretense of them working on a special project together."
"Great, Dad," Harry said smiling.
Severus pointed his finger at Harry. "However, there will be strict rules for this undertaking which I will go over after dinner tonight when everyone is present."
After lunch, they did a bit of shopping in Diagon Alley, mainly in Flourish & Blotts. Severus checked out the potion section while Harry checked the career book section; he wanted to find out more information about a Child Protection Officer, and Lily was looking at the latest Charms books. She saw a new book by Miranda Goshawk and immediately grabbed it off the shelf to buy.
They also stopped at Slug & Jiggers so Severus could buy more ingredients for his private stores. If his potion worked on Alice and Frank, he would submit the formula to the Experimental Potions Department for further testing.
When Severus returned to his quarters after speaking with the three Weasleys, Lee, and Cedric, a note immediately flew out of the floo a few seconds after they had exited it. "It seems Madam Pomfrey knows I am back," he remarked recognizing the handwriting on the note. "She is getting low on the bruise salve and sore muscle cream." He knew she used a lot of those during Quidditch season as the players were always suffering from minor injuries such as these. He kept both readily available for the Slytherin team in their locker room. He did not care either if they shared it with the other house teams. "Would you like to help me brew these, Harry?"
"Yes!" Harry replied his face lighting up. He loved brewing with his dad.
