DISCLAIMER: I wish but I do not own any part of the HP world, all belongs to one Ms JK Rowling.

Pansy, Charlie, Draco and Hermione floo'd straight to a hotel near where the Delacour Chateau was. It stayed under a concealment charm as it was situated in the middle of a Muggle village. Charlie made sure no one he knew had followed them, or didn't know at that. The last thing he needed was some sort of follower intercepting their advances for help.

"Does Bill know we are visiting?" Draco asked watching how cautious Charlie had become.

"No, but it is for Harry so Fleur and Bill will not care, they will want to help."

After only walking for a mile or so, Charlie instructed that they all held onto him as he was the only who was keyed into the wards. The Chateau that was before them was magnificent, Hermione and Pansy stood with eyes wide and jaws dropping. Both men shook their heads as they following Charlie up the long gravel driveway, on one side a Vineyard that looked freshly picked, on the other a garden of rose bushes, orchids and what looked like a horse stable.

"Brother? What have we done to deserve such an unexpected visit... and with friends?" Bill asked looking wary at his company whilst he shook his brothers hand.

"Hey Bill, this is my Wife Pansy, sorry there was no invitation, we kind of eloped." Charlie chuckled whilst rubbing the back of his neck. Bill was only a few years older than he but he still saw him as an authority figure over him. "You know Hermione and her Husband Draco. We come in need of desperate help, Harry is dying."

"Harry Potter?" Fleur stepped out holding a newborn.

"A visitor?" Charlie also looked wary at Bill, maybe the brothers were not as close as they once thought.

"Charlie, may I introduce you to Victoire Delacour, my Daughter, your Niece. I was going to send word once I knew of your permanent address." This time it was Bills turn to look nervous.

Both men shook it off and gave each a grin as they followed Fleur up the stairs into the sitting room.

"How can we be of help?" Fleur asked rocking her Daughter off to sleep.

"Our 'Father' cursed Harry without him knowing, he did not feel any symptoms until the next day, he felt like he had floo then he fainted into a magical coma. Severus was on hand and figured the curse was aimed at his heart."

"Only his heart? No other part of the body?"

"No, no other part is affected." Pansy spoke but didn't look up as she stared at the new baby in the room, by Merlin she hoped her and Charlie would be able to conceive.

"I haven't met too many curses that deal with just one major organ at one time. I do have books that you can look through and take back with you with promise they come back on your next visit."

"Deal." Charlie followed his brother as they left to his study.

"So how is married life ladies?" Fleur winked at the two, making them burst into a fit of laughter.


After a rough night, Severus and Narcissa had stayed by Harry's side, not willing to move for one moment. Astoria refused to move from his door frame, she understood why Severus kept a charm on his room but she wished she could just hold him, tell him she was there for him. Lucius had the task of narrowing the curses down with the help from Remus in the Library. Sirius was too at a lost, he had grown extremely close to his Godson, he too didn't know how to help, walking onto the floor where Harry's room was he passed Astoria an extremely strong hot chocolate and accio'd a blanket and cushion each for them to 'camp out' with.

"Drink, it will help." Sirius smiled as she smelt the hot drink in her hands.

"Will it help if I make a Wizards Oath that I Sirius Orion Black have put nothing but hot chocolate, milk and Firewhiskey in that cup?"

"No, I trust you, I was just making sure no one put a sleeping draught in. Narcissa has told me twice to go to bed and she will call me if I am needed, however I do not believe she will, I can not leave him when he needs me Siri, I just can't." Astoria couldn't hold it anymore, she allowed the tears to free flow from her eyes.

"Come here love, he will be just fine, Cissy and Severus are in there keeping him going, Lucius and Remus are in the Library whilst Draco and Hermione have gone to visit Bill with Charlie and Pansy."

"Whilst I am here like a blubbering mess." Astoria straightened herself and looked at the closed door again.

"No your not, it shows you love him. I see yourself and I as emotional support." Sirius put an arm around her and set a warm charm on her now lukewarm hot chocolate.

Astoria only nodded, she needed to be with him, at least she was not alone in the helplessness she was feeling. What felt like seconds she heard heavy footsteps running towards her. As she opened her eyes Draco and Lucius ran towards the room.

"Severus." Lucius pounded on the door.

"Yes?" He opened the door.

Astoria caught a glimpse of a very grey looking Harry laying on the bed whilst Narcissa rubbed the back of his hand and wiped his brow to help the fever some more.

"He used the 'Relinquunt Corpus' charm."

"Thank you Lucius, I need to brew a few extra potions please have Hermione set my apparatus up in dining room please." Severus answered as he shut the door again without looking at Astoria's pleading eyes.

She sighed realising she would not get to see Harry until the morning, maybe even later, although that did not mean she would leave, the first moment she would be allowed into his room she will be. Sirius noticed a fresh batch of tears flowing, hugging her he whispered into her hair that at least he was alive.
