He spotted Xeno standing by the door. "Just the man I need to see. Tell me where Luna is. None of them will."

Xeno went pale as he moved towards the bed but Severus shifted to look at Harry. "You really need to rest Harry. You need time to heal."

Harry looked between his mate and Xeno. "I don't want to rest. I want to know where Luna is. Someone tell me where she is."

Severus felt the prickle of tears in his eyes. "Harry, please calm down. We'll tell you but you need to calm down please."

Harry lay back against the pillows. "Just tell me. She got hurt didn't she? I told her she should have left. I want to see her."

Lucius came over. "Harry I'm sorry but Luna didn't make it."

Harry wouldn't believe it. He frantically searched every face for a sign that it was a lie. "No. She isn't dead. I'd know."

Draco came next to his dad. "The dementors sensed an intruder. She went back to draw them off. She gave us time to escape."

"We didn't want to let her but we had you attached." Lucius said. "She was caught and given the kiss."

Harry was angry. "You shouldn't have let her go. She shouldn't have died for me."

Xeno took Harry's hand. "My daughter loved you. You were her brother. She did what she felt she had to do. To protect you, keep you safe."

"She shouldn't have died. It should have been me. Luna didn't deserve this." Harry had let loose the tears now.

Severus gently held him, not wanting to hurt Harry any more. "She told Lucius to tell you she loved you, that she did not regret her choice."

Draco nodded. "She sacrificed her life so you could live and hopefully so you can win this war and many others can. We wouldn't let her sacrifice be for nothing."

Severus reached down and kissed him. "She'll be remembered. We will all remember her. And when this war is done she will be honoured as a hero like she should be."

Harry looked into the eyes of his mate. "I will never forget her. She was my little sister. She was my truest friend.Oh God, her and Hermione both."

The others realized Harry had been told about Hermione and her parents, the other two killed were a younger student and his muggle father. His mother and sisters were spared as they had not been home at the time of the attack.

The others left Harry alone with Severus who held him as he cried. "They both loved you Harry. Do not let Dumbledore or Tom win by giving up."

Harry clung to Severus for dear life as he cried for his sister and for Hermione. They had not been as close as they had before. Not after Harry had disappeared off to Romania with Severus and his group, but her friendship still meant a lot to him.

Severus lay there holding Harry as his tears slowed down in exhaustion. "When this war is over and we have a chance to have children, we will name our first for her."

Harry thought of that. Thought of there being life after this war, of them both surviving. "Luna Hermione Snape." He whispered.

Severus nodded. "And she will know all about her brave Aunt and name sake who both gave their life for not only this war but for her dad."

Harry looked at him. "Will we have a chance? Will we win this war and have the chance to marry and have a daughter?"

Severus ran a hand through his mate's hair. "I know we will. But when you're healed we will marry as we planned. Here at the manor. No more waiting."

Harry was fading quickly as the medicines were drawing him back to sleep. "Yes. When I'm better."

Severus sat there holding his sleeping mate in his arms. When would Harry be better? Harry was distracted by Luna's death now but what would happen when he was lucid enough to remember the rest. When he remembered what he had suffered at the hands of his attackers? Harry was strong but Severus worried that even Harry might break under all he had suffered.

Severus woke a while later having drifted off into an uneasy sleep and found that Remus was sitting in an armchair by the bed and was reading a book. The wolf heard him wake and looked up from the pages.

"You should go get some sleep. You're no good to him like this." Remus told the man.

Severus shook his head. "I've just been asleep. I can't leave him."

Remus shook his head. "You need some real sleep. Or at the very least you need some fresh air and a walk."

Severus smirked at the man. "You're only two months pregnant and you already sound like a mum."

Remus smiled. "I guess it comes natural. Now go. I don't want to see you back here till morning. I'll stay."

Severus was reluctant to leave but stood up. "You will send for me if anything goes wrong?"

Remus nodded. "I will. Harry should sleep until morning but if anything is wrong you have my word, I'll send for you right away."

Severus left the room. In the years since school things had changed for him and Remus. Away from the marauders Remus was an honourable, intelligent and loyal person who since he began a relationship with Severus' best friend, Severus had come to think of as a good friend. Remus was good for Lucius and Draco. Even Narcissa happily saw that when she was alive.

It was nearing dawn when Remus was woken from his sleep by a sound of a scream and when his eyes fluttered open he could see Harry thrashing around in the bed from what Remus knew was a nightmare.

He ran to the bed and careful of the boy's injuries he scooped Harry into his arms. "Come on Harry. It's me Remy, wake up."

The thrashing slowed down but tears were on his cheeks and when Harry's eyes began to flutter open he was mumbling. "Luna" over and over.

Remus rocked him in his arms and saw his husband in the doorway. "Get Severus in here."

Harry was coming to and looked at Remus. "Where is Severus? Why isn't he here?"

Remus tried to soothe the boy. "He just went for some rest. He'll be here in a moment, Luc has gone for him."

Harry kept sobbing. "You're lying. He's gone too isn't he? I saw it in my dream. He and Luna were killed. So much blood every where."

Remus' heart was wrenched. "He's alive Harry. It was just a dream. You remember he was here when you woke up last."

Harry wouldn't stop shaking. "No, he died when the death eaters attacked. I saw him."

"That was Luc that had Sev. He lived. He was here earlier, come on Harry remember, please remember."

He was saved but Severus rushing in and taking his mate into his arms. "Harry, I'm right here. I'm right here."

Harry sunk into his arms. "You're alive? This isn't a dream, you're here."

Severus reached out with their link Yes, I'm here. You know I'm with you. You just had a bad dream.

"I was so scared. You died when you tried to come save me, then Luna died. But Luna is dead" came the response.

Severus nodded. "Yes, she died. But I'm here with you. You're safe. I promise you. Now go back to sleep."

Harry calmed down enough for Severus to give him some sleeping draught for Harry needed to sleep and relax before he injured himself more. Severus climbed into the bed next to him. They knew he had not been sleeping but pacing, but neither Remus or Luc were about to argue with him. They left the room knowing it would be good for both of them to heal together.
