Part 24
Harry stumbled down the hall. Luckily Hermione was there to keep him balanced. He only had one thought in mind. Draco. Outside he tried to keep himself composed, but inside he was breaking apart. Draco was his other half now. The short time he had spent with the blond, as his boyfriend was enough time for him to realize that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. But now he was being told that he might not be able to spend the rest of his life with him. Draco could die today. Just the thought of Draco dieing caused a painful anguish in his gut.
After a few minutes of walking, which felt like hours to Harry, they reached a portrait of Merlin. Merlin gave them a wink as Hermione whispered the password. When they entered they took a quick look around. It was a mini common room. There were a few doors that led out of the room, most likely bedrooms and baths. In front of one door was a desk. Sitting at the desk was Sandy. Hermione steered Harry towards her.
Sandy was making up a chart on Draco so that she could keep track of what has happened and what was done to correct it. When a shadow got in her light she looked up to see Hermione and whom she guessed, by looking at the scar, was Harry Potter. "Good afternoon, Harry."
Harry did not respond. He only looked off as if in a daze. Hermione was the one to answer. "Dumbledore said that Harry could see Draco before you started."
Sandy nodded. "Of course. He is in the room right there." She nodded towards the door next to the desk. "I will need to take your wands before you go in though." Hermione handed Sandy her wand as well as Harry's. She had picked it up in the tunnel when her and Ron took it to get back to Hogwarts faster. "Go on in then. Professor Snape is the only one in there right now. Dumbledore had to run a quick errand.
Hermione took a hold of Harry's shoulder and steered him into the room with Draco. She saw professor Snape sitting in a chair next to Draco's bed. He looked up when he saw them enter. He stood up and walked over to lean against the wall. This left the chair open for Harry. Harry for his part just stood there for a moment taking in Draco's appearance.
Draco's entire face was just one massive bruise and it looked like his eyes were swollen shut. Thankfully he could see the blanket that was on Draco rise and fall letting him know that he was indeed still alive. From what he gathered Draco was even worse under the blankets. He saw the empty chair next to the bed and stumbled to it. He took a quick seat and took in Draco close up. He noticed that his right hand was sticking out of the blankets. He quickly took the hand in his.
The hand was cold to the touch. Harry reached his left hand up and rubbed the back of it against Draco's cheek. The check was ice cold. A tear escaped Harry's eye but he made no move to wipe it free. He leaned close to Draco. "You have to be okay Draco." His voice broke. "I can't live without you." Tears were now falling freely down his face. He buried his face in then blanket that was covering Draco. "Please don't leave me Draco. Please."
Hermione walked up behind him when she saw him start to break down. She rubbed his back with one hand. "It's going to be ok, Harry."
From the other side of the room Severus was watching. He was shocked to see all the emotion on Potters face. He could tell just by watching him that Harry loved Draco very much. He saw Harry bury his face in the blanket and begin to sob silently. Part of him wanted to comfort him, but Granger beat him to it. He watched as she told Harry that it was going to be all right. He prayed the same thing himself. If Draco died he would kill Lucius personally.
He looked towards the door as he saw it open. Albus entered and started to walk towards him. "Severus, Sandy is going to start the operation here in just a moment. There is something I would like for you to do for me."
Severus took one last look at Draco before nodding at the Headmaster. "Of course."
"I would like you to go back to the infirmary with a member of Sandy's team. Once they get Sirius unhooked will you please place him in your chambers."
This shocked him. "My chambers." At Dumbledore's nod he continued. "Why?"
"We can't leave him in the infirmary. I have already taken care of Pettigrew. Fudge will be here tomorrow with aurors to take him in to custody. But until then I don't want any incidents with a student walking in and seeing him."
"Fine, but that still does not answer my question. Why my chambers?"
Dumbledore's eye's started to twinkle. This left Severus feeling like a muggle bomb was about to go off. "Why Severus, I would have thought you would want to monitor Sirius condition yourself to make sure he is ok. After all, he did give up a lot of blood. Sandy says that he will most likely be half out of it for awhile."
Damn him. Damn that man. He is playing his weakness. Severus could tell just by looking at Albus that he knew about his feelings for Black. How he did not know, but never the less he knew. Severus decided not to admit anything. He gave a quick 'fine' before walking out the door. He saw the assistant walking with him. He continued on his way back to the infirmary.
Back in the room Draco was in, Dumbledore looked amused as Severus walked off with his head up. He then turned his attention to Harry and Hermione. He walked over to Harry and placed a hand on his shoulder. He kneeled down to Harry's level and waited for Harry to meet his gaze. After a moment Harry brought red puffy eyes up to meet those of the Headmaster.
Dumbledore looked at him and gave his shoulder a squeeze. "Harry, you have to leave now. Sandy is coming in to do the surgery in a moment."
Harry stood up and bent over to place a soft kiss on Draco's lips. "You had better survive this Draco." He stared at Draco for a moment. Walking backwards he let Draco's hand slip from his. On his way out he saw Sandy and her team coming in. He grabbed Sandy's arm before she could go all the way through. "You have to save him."
Sandy nodded. "I will do everything I can."
"Thank you." Harry walked the rest of the way out of the door. Once he was back in the small common room he took a seat in the sofa that was sitting in front of the fireplace. He sat there watching the flames leap up. Next to him he could hear Hermione jump up and run to a figure that had just entered the room.
"Ron, what are you doing out of bed."
Ron gave her a hug. "I feel fine, honestly. I thought I would come and sit here with you and Harry while we waited for word on Draco." He walked over and took a seat next to Harry. He put a hand on Harry's knee. "He'll be fine mate."
The only response he got from Harry was a nod. "I hope so."
Severus had just made it to the infirmary doors when the opened and Ron walked through. Ron stopped in front of him. "Professor Snape, do you know where I can find Harry and Hermione?"
Severus nodded. "He and your girlfriend are next to the Griffindor common room. There is a portrait of Merlin there. The password is Merlin's beard."
"Thank you" Ron walked off down the hall.
Severus turned his attention back to the infirmary. The assistant had already gone in and Severus could see him detaching the equipment from Sirius. He walked up and waited for the assistant to finish. After a moment the assistant left with the supply of blood. Severus looked down at Sirius. "Albus has asked me to take you to my chambers to rest."
Sirius turned glazed eyes to him. "Severus" he whispered. "Am I dead?"
This confused Severus. What the hell was it now. "What are you talking about Black?"
Sirius let out a small chuckle. "Am I dead? If not why did they send an angel that looks like Severus?"
Ok, it was official. Sirius had flipped. What the hell was he going on about? Him an angel? He was many things, but an angel was one thing that he never thought anyone would associate with him. He felt his chest tighten when he had one thought. Sirius thought of him as an angel. He felt a slight blush from on his cheeks. He quickly tried to fight it. He noticed that Sirius was motioning him down to him. Severus leaned down to hear what Sirius had to say.
"If you aren't an angel and the real Severus then why would you let me do this?" Sirius grabbed Severus head and brought his lips to meet his.
TBC.
