Harry and Severus made their way to St Mungo's late Friday afternoon to see Neville.
When they walked into his room Draco was curled up on the bed beside him.
He sat up when he saw them and moved off the bed and into a chair.
Kingsley had sent Harry, Minerva and Severus a note to say that Neville was being taken off the breathing spell and it had so far been successful.
Harry made Draco a cup of coffee and encouraged him to eat something.
'You are getting to be a real mother hen in your old age Potter' Draco sniffed.
'If you weren't such a stubborn git I wouldn't have to resort to such things' Harry retorted.
'You need your strength for when Neville wakes up' he added
Draco scoffed and chewed on his sandwich.
'Could I have some more coffee please mum?' Draco chortled
'Smart arse' Harry said dryly as he took the proffered cup and refilled it
'Thank you mummy' Draco blew him a kiss
'You are a strange man Malfoy' Harry shook his head
'You love me' he grinned
'Mmm' was the only reply he got
Severus shook his head and sighed, the pair of them were going to send him to an early grave.
Neville needed to wake up and soon; he couldn't possibly handle these pair on his own.
Draco grinned at the look on his Godfathers face and laughed.
'You know you would be lost without me Sevvy' he chuckled.
'Shut up you twat and eat your dinner' Severus growled.
Draco's reply was to blow him a kiss.
He left the room muttering something about being soft in the head and looking for more intelligent conversation.
Draco and Harry doubled over with laughter. The blonde hadn't felt like laughing at all the last few days but he admitted it felt good to do so.
Michael's parents sat listening intently as the Healer explained what had been done to their son and the reason he was being held at he Ministry.
When the initial shock had worn off and Kingsley explained that Michael would not be held accountable for the attack on Neville, they calmed.
He asked Healer O'Neil explain what he was going to do to help Michael.
He told them what he planned to do in an attempt to help Michael regain his memory.
'Will his memory come back completely?' Michaels Mother asked nervously
'In cases like this the memories are still there but have been shrouded due to the spell being used. What I am going to do is go into your sons mind and remove the blockage and hopefully he will regain his memory. He may not remember the things he was made to do, but I am optimistic that I will be able to locate those particular memories and it will tell me who has done this to him'
Michaels Mother and Father looked at their son question filled their eyes.
'I'll do it, there is no way I would ever attack a Teacher, I like Professor Longbottom I had no reason to hurt him' Michael said with abandon.
'Excellent' Healer O'Neil smiled.
'I want you to take a deep breath and close your eyes, just relax this won't hurt' Healer O'Neil instructed.
Michael did as he was asked and took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.
'Legilimens' Healer O'Neil said
He worked his way through the depths of the Ravenclaws mind; he sorted each memory and finally came across the ones that had been blocked due to the spell.
He muttered and incantation and the block lifted leaving the memories unshrouded and clear.
Healer O'Neil saw more than he bargained for including the attack on Neville Longbottom.
When he pulled out of the young mans mind he was certain that Michael wasn't responsible for any wrongdoing.
Michael shook his head and sat still for a moment letting everything sink in.
When he faced the people in the room a look of fury was evident on his face.
'That conniving bitch' he snarled
'I quite agree Mr Corner' Healer O'Neil concurred.
Neville blinked a few times and tried to open his eyes, it took the better part of a minute but was soon taking in his surroundings.
'Drake?' he whispered seeing his husband sitting in a chair near his bed.
Draco looked over at the sound and leaped from his seat and was at his husband's side in a mere second.
'Nev you're awake, oh thank Merlin' Draco said tears falling down his face.
'Where am I?' he asked
'St Mungo's you were attacked in the Greenhouses' Draco explained
'Who?' he asked
'It doesn't matter' Draco soothed, he sent his Patronus out to the front desk to tell them Neville was awake.
He pressed a gentle chaste kiss to his husband's lips and ran his finger over the bottom lip smiling.
'I was so scared I would never get to do that again' Draco said quietly.
'I'm back my beloved you don't have to be scared anymore' Neville looked deep into those steel grey eyes he loved so much.
Before long the room was crowded with Healers and Mediwtiches checking Neville over.
Augusta shuffled into the room and smiled brightly at Draco.
He moved into her arms and sobbed against her chest.
'He's back my love is back' he sobbed
'It will all be ok now' Augusta soothed.
'You stay here and I will go and let Minerva and the rest know he has woken' Augusta kissed Draco's forehead and walked from the room.
'That's wonderful news Augusta' Minerva beamed at the head bobbing in the green flames
'Yes thank Merlin he is alright' she replied.
'I will let the others know' Minerva smiled
Augusta waved her goodbye and vanished from sight.
Minerva sent a note to Harry and Severus to come to her office immediately.
'Do you know why she would do this to you?' Kingsley asked Michael
'I have no idea, we dated for a while back in 4th year, but she was so hung up on Professor Potter that I ended it. I still liked her and all, but she was determined to snag him so I gave up.' Michael explained.
'Do you have any recollection of doing the things I uncovered in your mind?' Healer O'Neil asked
'Not really, they are fuzzy I mostly remember feeling like time had stood still for a few minutes then I felt alright again.'
'Was Ginny present during those times do you recall?'
'Not during or not that I can remember anyway she seemed to be there after though' Michael said a confused expression on his face.
'What happens now?' Michaels Mother asked
Before anyone could answer Kingsley's assistant poked her head into the room and handed him a note.
Thanks Grace' he smiled unfolding the note
'This is a note from St Mungo's Neville has woken from his coma' Kingsley said pleased.
'Fantastic news' Healer O'Neil sighed with relief.
'Now as to what to do next I have an idea' Kingsley smirked
All eyes focused on the Minister he explained the idea.
Michael agreed readily, his parents were reluctant to allow him to be involved in such a scheme.
He reminded them that he could have been well on his way to life in Azkaban Prison if they sat and did nothing.
The fierceness in his eyes soon changed their minds, he was determined to clear his name and in hindsight they would have been powerless to stop him.
Kingsley left to contact the others, Healer O'Neil left to go back to the hospital.
Michael was given permission to go home until the time he was required back at Hogwarts.
She wouldn't get away with this Michael thought furiously as he went into his room and lay down on his bed.
He should have known better than to get involved with Ginny Weasley in the first place.
