A/N: Well here it is peeps, I promised that I would be putting out a couple
of new chapters during this long holiday weekend so here is chapter 13 for
you! ENJOY!!
Chapter 13-
Severus walked back to his rooms holding tightly onto a silent Harry who was holding onto his father just as tightly. Severus didn't think that he'd been so scared before than seeing Harry lying on the ground then in the hospital bed. He wanted nothing more than to hold Harry and make sure that he was still there. He realized just how close he had come to losing the boy.
He was sure that Harry was petrified himself. He could see it in the boy's eyes during the whole entire ordeal and knew would need a lot of comfort. He knew that he loved the boy but he never knew how much he loved him when he wished that he could trade places with Harry.
They arrived at Severus' rooms, not having met any students on the way thankfully and Severus walked immediately into Harry's bedchambers and went to gently set the boy on his bed. Harry tightened the grip that he had on his father though, and was making small whimpering sounds. Severus sighed and said softly
"Harry you have to take a nap, you need to rest."
"I want you to stay with me." Harry said in a very small voice
Severus figured that something like this would happen and said
"All right, I'll stay with you. Just let me put you down."
Harry shook his head and said
"No, I want you to stay in bed and hold me."
"All right, I'll do that but let's get you out of these clothes since you're all dirty." Harry relinquished his grip on his father enough so that Severus could set him down on the bed and Severus walked over to the dresser, that was now filled with different clothes to accommodate Harry's growing. He picked out a pair of red cotton shorts and a yellow shirt that said 'quidditch' on it that had been shrunk to fit him since it was one of Harry's favorite shirts.
He walked back over to Harry to find that he had fallen asleep. Carefully he sat the boy up and started to take his clothes off but stopped when Harry woke up with a jolt and a yelp as he tried to take his shoe off of his left foot.
"Harry what's wrong?"
"My ankle hurts when you move it."
Severus went to look at Harry's ankle and found that it had swollen a bit. Obviously Harry had twisted it when he fell down the hill. Sighing Severus said
"I'm going to take your shoe off carefully and then bandage your ankle, you've twisted it but it's not broken. All right?"
Harry nodded, squeezed his eyes shut and grimmaced but didn't cry out when his father had removed the shoe. He felt his father tap his wand to his ankle and mutter 'ferula' and felt the bandages wrap around his ankle and a pair of shorts slide on.
Only then did he open his eyes and say
"Thanks dad."
Severus kissed Harry's forehead and said
"No need for thanks at all. Now it's time for you to take a nap. Does anything else hurt?"
Harry thought for a moment and said
"My left elbow a little."
Severus looked at it and said
"Well you just banged it pretty hard."
Severus then conjured 2 cold packs and pulled Harry into his lap and set one pack on Harry's ankle and held the other on the boy's elbow and said
"There. Now it's time for you to take a nap, all right?"
Harry yawned and snuggled into his father's chest and was soon fast asleep listening to his father's humming and feeling his slight rocking.
Severus sat watching Harry sleep, not sure of how to deal with this sudden hailstorm of emotions.
Just as Severus was about to drop off to sleep himself Harry started to squirm, whimper and attempt to get out of Severus' embrace. Severus immediately knew that Harry was having a nightmare.
Instead of trying to wake Harry up he started to whisper calm and soothing things into the boy's ear and after about 5 minutes Harry stopped fighting and fell back into a calming sleep, never once waking up.
Severus cracked a smile and soon was asleep himself, protectively holding Harry.
