Chapter 15
The rest of the afternoon was spent in Harry's bed. Severus summoned several reading and coloring books and a couple of simple puzzles to do.
After having lunch in bed Severus read Harry a story and the boy dropped off for a nap, still in his father's arms.
After Harry woke up from his nap he colored for a little while with Severus sometimes joining in. After dinner the two put together a puzzle and Harry took a bath. After the bath Harry dropped off to sleep for the night.
During the day Harry had aged to 7 years old so he was a little bit bigger than before but not by much. Before long Severus himself fell asleep.
Sometime later, how long Severus wasn't sure, he was awoken by Harry thrashing around violently and screaming at the top of his lungs. Severus tried to calm Harry but this time the boy refused to be calmed.
Only then did Severus notice that Harry's scar appeared to be pulsing and throbbing.
Blood seeped from the curse scar and that automatically sent Severus into high gear.
Summoning a washcloth he put it over Harry's scar to try and stop the bleeding.
Severus wondered what Voldemort was up to because surely that was the only thing that could cause Harry to act like this.
It was definitely strange because Severus had not been summoned since that time before term started, but then again that really wasn't much to worry about.
Severus couldn't help but wonder if Voldemort had gotten word of Harry's accident from one of the Death Eaters who's child was at Hogwarts.
This could pose a major problem because Harry could not properly defend himself if Voldemort attacked.
Severus wasn't sure if Harry was merely asleep and unable to wake up, or unconscious. He lifted up the boy's eyelid to see that his eyes had rolled into the back of his head which indicated that Harry was out cold.
Picking up the boy Severus dashed out of the quarters and up to the Headmaster's office.
Giving the password then pounding on the door Severus waited anxiously and soon Dumbledore stood in the doorway bewildered.
Upon seeing his Potions Master holding his son who was convulsing he beckoned them inside and Severus sat down on a couch and Albus asked,
"Severus, what's wrong with Harry?"
"I don't know Albus, I woke up and he was thrashing about and screaming, then his scar started to bleed and I panicked. I know that this has to do with Voldemort, what else could cause Harry to be in this state?"
Albus watched the small boy for a moment and said
"I wonder if we can see what Harry's dreaming. I know of a spell ebcause Harry won't remember the details when he wakes up because he's too young."
Severus nodded and said
"Do what you have to do Albus, I trust you."
Dumbledore took out his wand and pointed it at the, still convulsing boy, and said
"Aperio visiones."
The beam of light hit Harry and a small projector-like beam came out of Harry's forehead and hit the opposite wall where they saw Harry's dream unfold.
They watched as Voldemort and some, clearly Junior, Death Eaters went on a torture spree.
Severus remembered this as their 'training and proof of mastering the Unforgivables'
Only after they had shown that they had mastered them could they finally be branded with the Dark Mark.
It appeared that this group was rather well versed at the unforgivables.
Especially the cruciatus.
Each time the spell was cast, Harry would spasm and twitch as if the spell was cast on him directly.
It broke Severus' heart to see Harry like this. Merlin only knew what this would do to Harry mentally after this whole ordeal.
After several agonizing minutes the dream subsided and Harry did not open his eyes and would twitch and spasm with the occasional aftereffect of the cruciatus.
Albus walked over to Severus and laid a gentle hand on the man's shoulder and said
"You really should take him to Poppy, to make sure everything's all right with him."
Severus nodded and carefully stood up, and trying not to jary Harry and wake him. Albus walked them over to the door and held it open and followed Severus to the hospital wing.
Stopping off in Poppy's room to wake her,the two entered the ward to see that Severus had laid Harry on one of the beds.
Poppy got her first good look at the boy and saw taht there was some dried blood surrounding the famous lightning bolt scar and knew taht something was very wrong.
She walked over to the boy and said
"Severus you go with Albus and leave me to work, you can come back and see him when I'm done."
Severus nodded and left tostand outside the Hospital Wing doors while Poppy examined and treated Harry.
After fortyfive long and agonizing minutes Poppy poked her head out and said
"You can come back in now."
Severus and Albus walked back into the silent ward and over to Harry's bed.
Over Harry's scar a thick piece of gauze had been taped over it with a bit of blood starting to soak through already.
Severus was sure that he had never seen Harry look so small and vulnerable before, than at that exact moment. He was determined to try and develop a new potion to try and diminish the connection between Harry and Voldemort so Harry would never have to go through what he had just gone through ever again.
Severus took Harry's small and limp hand and sandwiched it between his praying to every deity that he'd ever heard of that Harry would be all right and not have any lasting damage from this.
Madame Pomfrey walked over an laid a gentle hand on the Potions Master's shoulder and said
"Do you want to know what's wrong with him?"
Severu nodded knowing that he had to hear it, no matter how bad it may seem.
The matron took a breath and began
"Well obviously his scar started to bleed, but his body is suffering the aftereffects of the curse. I gave him a potion to help counteract the effects. He almost completely stopped breathing and I had to give him another treatment but he seems to be out of immediate danger, though I wish his sat levels would go up a bit, though time will only tell with that one.
"The clip on his other finger is to actually monitor those levels, if it goes lower it'll automatically send a signal. His levels are only at 88% right now but there's really nothing I can do about it. I don't have any ventilator or breathing apparatus' here to help that. That's why if his levels drop again he'll have to be taken to Saint Andrews to be put on a vent."
During the entire telling of Harry's condition Severus didn't tear his eyes away from Harry as if trying to pour his strength into the boy to make him better. After Poppy finished Severus looked up and for probably the first time in Merlin only knew how long, Severus had tears in his eyes and nodded and went back to watching Harry.
Albus put a hand on Severus' shoulder and squeezed it gently to assure the younger wizard that everything would be all right in the end. Severus looked and gave the Headmaster a weak smile and went back to his silent vigil.
Since there was nothing left to be done Albus and Poppy took their leave and Severus settled down in the chair and prepared for a long night.
A/N: *ducks and hides* please don't hate me for what I did to Harry, but I couldn't help it, this is what my screwed up little brain told me to type! Now push that little button and submit a review but please don't flame me. I don't need to add the stress of reading flame reviews when I'm trying to get my act together and work on and pass my classes. So leave a review but please don't flame me, it might get a little bit darker from here, I'm not sure but things won't stay dark for long. Thanks all
