As soon as Harry dropped everyone burst into action, Draco grabbed him and moved him onto the couch, Severus read threw the letter quickly trying to figure out what caused this kind of reaction, and Lucius, well he stood there not really sure what to do, until he noticed the faint glimmer of a Glamour that's diminishing, and subtly cast a Finite on the now passed out Potter boy.
"WOW! I know he said he was looking forward to some sleep but I didn't realize how bad of shape he was really in."
"Draco, before you came to my room, which you WILL be explaining later, what were you doing and why were you even together?" the potions Professor asked.
"The short answer is; I wanted to thank him, he said he was tried, so I offered him my Head Boy room so he could get some peace." Draco answered his Godfather; hoping whatever was wrong wasn't as serious as it looked, because truthfully Harry looked like death had warmed over.
He was skinnier than could possibly be healthy, he looked like he hadn't slept in days, which remembering what he had said was the truth, he was dirtier then he had been even minutes before somehow.
"He had a Glamour charm on, I figure it would be easier to help him if we could see the entire problem, so Severus what exactly can we do to help."
Severus looked at the boy lying on the couch and decided to leave the letter and its contents for the time being, his health was clearly the more important at the moment. Running a quick diagnostic test he saw what was painfully obvious looking at him, dehydration, malnutrition, exhaustion; physically and magically, several cuts, bruises and other minor injuries.
"First we need to get him clean, and scourgify isn't going to work. Luc bring him in to the bathroom, put him in the tub, keep his under clothes on, we don't need him thinking you molested him, fill it with warm water and get rid of what dirt you can. I'm going to help you in a minute. Draco, go to my private stores, grab any healing potion that's in there, as well as nutrient potions. After quickly turning the bed covers down, Severus made his way back to the bathroom where an almost naked Harry Potter was being bathed by Lucius.
"It's not as bad as it looked; the dirt made it a lot worse." Lucius said, trying to pacify his friend, not understanding why Severus was in such frenzy about the boy, as far as he knew they didn't even like each other.
"I know what you are thinking Lucius and I will tell you as soon as he is in bed, dry, warm, and has some healing potions in him, now help me get him out of here and on my bed."
Together they got Harry out of the tub, into the bed and were just finished transfiguring his clothes into something warm and dry when Draco returned carrying several boxes.
"If there is anything you need take it, I know today hasn't been easy for anyone" Severus said while quickly taking several potions himself before grabbing a large number and slowly pouring them the sleeping boy's throat.
"Sev there is nothing else you can do, he clearly needs to sleep, why don't you tell us what was in that letter that got you both so frantic" Lucius said guiding his friend out the bed room and into the sitting room while Draco poured them all a drink.
"It was from Lily" was all Severus said while he handed the blondes the letter to read.
Dear Harry and Severus
If you are reading this then three things have happened. 1-James and I are dead, 2- the Dark Lord had been defeated for good and finally you are together. You are probably wondering how I know this, simple, because this letter was charmed to be delivered unless all three of those things were true.
The reason for this letter is because there is something you both must know, before I married James we got into a fight and almost called off the wedding, on that night I was out and met with Severus. The night I did something that could change both of your lives forever. I Obliviated Severus the morning after so he wouldn't remember until I told him about it to protect all of us. James and I ended up making up and the wedding went on as planned but I never told him I had slept with Severus only nights before. When I found out I was pregnant I realized the chance of the baby being Severus' was just much as James so I took the in womb Blood-Adoption potion to prevent anyone from questioning who the actual father was.
The Blood-Adoption removal potion is the only way to find out the truth and I am leaving the option up to you the living to the decision on what to do next. Please know that I love you both and would approve of whatever you decide to do, but please Severus don't let your animosity with James get in the way of knowing your possible son.
Love Lilly
"Well that explains the fainting, If I found out the person who I thought was my father wasn't I would probably faint to" Draco said trying to imagine himself in the situation "so Uncle Sev, what are you going to do?"
"First I am going to wait until he wakes up then we are going to have to make this decision together, I can't very well force him to take the potion."
"Well you could" both blondes responded but stopped talking after the glare that came their way.
"Come on Draco we should go find your mother, we all need some sleep, but if you need anything Severus please know you can come to us and we will all help as much as we can" Lucius said giving Draco a look that clearly said 'that includes you being nice to him' and the two Malfoy men took their exit leaving Severus time to think over everything that happened.
