In the Dark
Chapter Four-teen
Hanging On
Severus ran down the corridors leaving a blood tail behind him. He stopped at the hospital wing doors. He waved his hand and the doors flew open causing them to hit the stone wall. The Potions Master swept into the wing and laid Hermione down the bed.
Minerva gasped at the sight of her best student. Ginny buried her face into Harry chest. The wizard stared unblinking. He felt responsible for her state. Albus's eyes lost their twinkle. Poppy was digging through the potions cabinet.
Severus sat down on the bed and slowly unbuttoned her robes. He removed the scarf. Hermione breathing was shallow and was becoming labor.
"You must hang on," whispered Severus. "You can't quit on me. You're stronger than this." He whispered and brushed her hair way from her face relieving her mark on her neck.
Poppy pushed her way through the group and sat many bottles on the bedside table. Severus stepped back and walked over to the other side of the wing. He began to pace the floor. Harry looked at his potions professor.
"It's not my blood Harry." He said gently. "It's Porthos, Weasley and Hermione's blood. None of it's mine."
Poppy looked at the ex-spy and then turned her attention back to her patient. She healed Hermione's minor burses. Severus looked over at the bed and narrowed his eyes at the nurse. He made it to her side in three quick strides.
"Don't worry about the damn small cuts Poppy," and he ripped the rest of Hermione's robes off. "You must heal the damn stab wound. And blood replenishing potion want work for her." He sighed, "Not anymore."
Poppy stared at the wizard, "Severus you didn't-"
"Heal her!!"
The group had never seen the wizard so angry in their lives. Poppy nodded and quickly went to work. She didn't want to see anyone hurt in the wing. Ginny slowly sat down on one of the many empty beds. The nurse closed the curtain. Severus looked at the closed curtain and began to pace the floor. Minerva quietly sat down next the Ginny. Harry joined Severus in pacing the floor. Albus sighed sadly and joined the witches.
Ginny watched her professor and boyfriend pace the floor. She watched them move closer and closer. But before she could say a word.
Wam!
"Potter!" Severus snapped.
"Snape!" He said in the same tone.
He narrowed his eyes and started to pace once again.
Six hours later:
Poppy pulled back the curtain and walked over the group. Minerva, Ginny and Albus rose from the bed.
"How is she?" Harry, Ginny and Severus said at once.
"She holding on."
Hit it!!
