CHAPTER 14

"Elaine…I…" Severus started.

"ELAINE!"

She spins around from her professor to see her Dad sitting up in bed. His face was covered in pain and worry.

"Daddy!" she smiled, throwing her arms around his neck. "I was so scared."

"I'm fine, sweetheart." He murmured holding his daughter tightly. "It was just another-"

"Fainting spell." Elaine finished. "Dr. Malfoy explained what was wrong. That fainting story isn't going to work anymore." She determinedly stated.

Harry sighed at her angry face then saw Poppy, Severus and Draco staring him. Two were on his least favorite people.

"So, Dr, What have you been telling my daughter?" He spat.

Draco shivered from the hate in Harry's voice as if he knew what Draco was going to tell him.

"That you will die unless you renew the bond with…your ex-husband." Draco repeated.

Harry's gaze left Draco and fell on Severus with uncertainty and fear.

"I see." He replied. "Elaine, come closer." She leaned in closer to hear her father say, "I've been taking with Hermione and we already came to this conclusion. She has contacted Ron and they have kindly agreed to adopt you when I die." He explained.

"Dad!" she interjected, hurt. "You're just going to give up. You're not even going to try!!"



"Elaine, I cannot force someone into a union that they never wanted to be in it to begin with."

Elaine thought about her Dad's words.

Was her father so cruel that he would let her daddy die?

"Owl him! Ask him!" she demanded. "Certainly, he won't let you die!"

"Elaine, I've already made my decision." He mumbled, looking away from his grief stricken daughter.

"How can you be so SELFISH?" she screamed running from the room.

Harry finally let tears flood his eyes as his body began to shake.

"Harry, I-"Severus started.

"Don't." Harry cried. "You didn't want to marry me the first time. I won't ruin your life again!" Harry couldn't stop himself from sobbing in front of Draco and Severus. Suddenly, he began releasing all his pent up anger. He recalled all the time they were together in his presence. He said nothing. He let himself cry inside. He wasn't going to do that anymore.

"All you had to do was wait till she was born you heartless bastard! I hate you!" As Severus turned away from him Harry looked to Draco, "And you! As a medi-apprentice you should have warned him the toll his breaking the bond would have on me and Elaine. I guess you thought it was romantic having you lover leave his pregnant husband for you!"

"You must calm down." Draco gently asserted.

"I will not!" he yelled climbing off the hospital bed to his unsteady feet. As he tired to balance himself Draco spoke again, "Harry, you must lay down. Your body can barely function-"

"SHUT UP! Alright…"

"I must agree with Dr. Malfoy." Poppy finally interjected.

Harry lost his strength and collapsed onto the floor. He tired a few time to rise but his body refused. Draco started towards him trying to help.

"Don't touch me! Leave me alone…both of you. Just leave me alone in peace." He cried. Never in his life and Harry felt so small and worthless. 

Crying on the floor he felt like his sorrow drowning him. Harry didn't watch them leave but he felt relief when Poppy sat on the floor beside him.

"Come one, Harry, dear. Let's get you back in bed. All this stress won't help you get better."

"I'm never going to get better, Poppy. I'm dying." He snapped.

Harry saw the pain in Poppy's eyes and quickly apologized. He hastily moved onto the bed and continued sobbing.

I am never going to my little girl grow up. Never see the man she chooses to marry or see her children!! It's not fair. I don't want to die but I am…soon.
