Chapter Ten: What do we do?

(Sirius POV)

"Remus what the hell do I do!?"

Sirius was pacing the hospital room and completely ignoring his blistering and bleeding hand.

"Look, Sirius, i know this looks bad but i know we can figure it out."

It had been three hours since Harry apparated away, leaving the two animagi alone in the hospital room.

Sirius was terrified for his pup. And Remus was worried about his cub. They were both a wreck.

"What if he's hurt, Remus. What if he splinched himself while apparating. Why would he apparate away from us?"

"Im not too sure he apparated on his own free will, Padfoot. I think someone summoned him, descretely and gave it the appearance of apparating."

Padfoot seemed to consider that. He had to admit, it made more sense than Harry apparating.

"What about the burning heat?"

"Well, you aren't allowed to summon someone who is in the infirmary without the patients consent. If you summon them anyway, then the patient is the one who suffers so that could be why he was burning. Whoever summoned Harry, must be a powerful witch or wizard to be able to push past the barriers around the infirmary."

"We need to gather the other professors and scour the school. He has to be here somewhere."

Moony and Padfoot make their way towards the infirmary doors. They go to open them, when the doors burst open on their own revealing a blue, slightly transluscent deer.

"Its a Patronus", Remus observed.

"It must be Harry! Come on!" the two ignore their original plan of telling the professors

The two Animagi ran after the Patronus following it throughout Hogwarts. Finally the deer stopped outside of Hogwarts, right at the gate.

The deer looked at them, solemnly, as if it knew the fate of its young master, then it vanished.

"He- he... left Hogwarts?", Sirius asked, baffled.

"No I don't think so. I think someone within the walls had summoned him in the school then had him sent somewhere outside the school. But i have no idea how we would find out, without knowing who cast the summoning spell."

"What do we do, Remus? We have to get him back."

Moony put his hand on Sirius' shoulder, comfortingly.

"Harry is a strong boy. He will be okay until we find him", Remus was saying the words over and over in his head, desperate to believe them.

"Lets go to Snape."

Remus did a doubletake when those words left Sirius' mouth. Remus never thought he'd see the day that Sirius is willing to go to Snape for help. They hated eachother.

Sirius rolled his eyes when he saw Remus' stunned expression.

"Snape can trace wand magic better than anyone else. If anyone can figure out who cast the spell, he can. Plus, it helps that he was the one who was there when the Boggart appeared. And, you said it yourself, that Snape obviously showed concern for the boy when it happened. So, despite his hatred for James, he has some amount of sympathy for Harry."

To say Remus was shocked, was an understatement. He was utterly speechless.

"alright then umm... lets go see Severus"

Sirius nodded and swiftly walked back into Hogwarts and down toward the dungeons

'Lets get this over with', Sirius thought to himself.

They finally get down to Snape's office down in the cold, eery, dungeons. Sirius rolled his eyes as he rapped on the big, oak door that blocked the entrance.

A few seconds go by before the door swings open, revealing Professor Severus Snape in his long, dark, flowing robes as if he was about to go to class.

Snape's eyes widened in obvious surprise at who his guest was and it was replaced with a sneer. He was about to make a snarky comment about filthy mutts when he saw the look on Sirius' and Remus' face.

It was- no pun intended- dead Serious.

"What happened to the boy?" Snape asked, skipping any unneeded niceties.

Sirius didn't waste any time, either.

"Its bad, Severus. We need your help"

If Snape was surprised, at the Animagous words that allowed him to show his weakness by saying he needed help, he didn't show it.

"Get in. We don't need anyone listening in", he ushered the two Animagi inside his quarters and slammed the door shut and locked it while putting a silencing charm and a ward around the place.

"What happened?"

"Harry started to wake up but he was crying and he couldn't move, He still needed to gain more strength back. I asked him to squeeze my hand, if he could. He managed to do it but then all of a sudden he started screaming and his skin became to hot to touch, it felt like fire. And thats when I called Sirius back and Harry opened his eyes and it was clear that he was in pain, so much agony. Then he started to levitate and it seemed like he was fading. Sirius grabbed him by the arm and this is what it did", Remus held up Sirius' burnt hand that was sloppily bandaged, Which Severus studied while Remus continued his story, " then it seemed like he was apparating but it was clear that it was against his will. Then we came to the conclusion that he was being summoned. It obviously had to be a very powerful wizard but who? thats why we are here", Remus looked paler than before and Severus motioned to the couch and everyone sat down.

"Harry has his fathers Patronus. We saw it a few hours after he left and we followed it out to the Hogwarts gates. Then it disappeared", Sirius added.

Severus was silent for a while. While the two had been relaying their story, Severus had started to clean, heal, and bandage Sirius' hand properly.

"I will run a wand scan over the school and see which one had recently done anything similar to a summoning spell. but it won't be completly accurate as we have students who are practicing similar spells but i will adjust the scan to stronger magic. We will, obviously, want to keep this between us... is there anything else i need to know?"

The two hesitated.

"Well... we do have a question."

Severus raised an eyebrow.

"Why did Harry's Patronus not show up? Why did his fathers Patronus come to help us find him?"

Severus was quiet for a moment as he thought about it.

'That is a good question.'

"It is possible that Harry doesn't have a Patronus yet."

"I highly doubt that. You know how powerful Harry is," Remus stated.

"Yes i realise that. But the other answer is a lot darker..." Severus paused debating on whether or not to tell them what he was thinking.

"Harry may have been dying at the time. In which case, Harry couldn't produce his own Patronus. His father stepped in to save him."

Sirius turned pale and his features took on a sorrowful look.

"But, the likelyhood of him being dead is very slim. I mean Voldemort couldn't kill him and he had nearly 13 years to try. The boy will be 13 in like three months."

"But back then he was defensless laying in a hospital bed," Sirius argued

" He was defenseless as a baby in his crib. And Voldemort still couldn't kill him."

"Why do you keep bringing up Voldemort as your argument? What brought him into this?" Remus questioned.

Severus hesitated.

"He is the only one i can think of with this kind of power."

"Do you think he did this?"

"It is possible, but it is kinda slim."

Sirius went pale and he looked utterly terrified at the thought of his Pup being in that evil snake's possession.

"But the scan will tell me where the spell was cast and the wand that cast it... hopefully"

Oooh whats going to happen? Find out in the next episode of Harry Potter: Behind Closed Doors!!!!
