Severus Snape watched as Harry raised his arms to his sides. A red
glow formed in Harry's hands as the Death Eaters started to fall, stunned. The
Aurors all started as Harry put his arms back to his sides and grinned.
Snape stood behind the Golden One whispered, "Sirius is free...," and
collasped into Snape's arms.
"HARRY!" Remus Lupin yelled, and raced forward as Snape kneeled
to the ground, holding Harry tightly to him. Snape didn't even acknowlage Remus
as he bent down to Harry, eyes wide with worry.
Dumbledore appeared suddenly at Snape, Harry, and Remus's side.
Dumbledore kneeled down Harry's body as Remus looked worriedly at Snape, then
turned to Dumbledore.
"What's wrong with him?" Remus asked.
"Which one?" Dumbledore responded gravely. "I'm not sure about Harry,
but Severus is in shock," he stated, as he slapped Snape on the face. Not to hurt,
of course, but to startle him. Snape blinked and put a hand to his cheek.
Dumbledore stood after looking at Harry once more. "Severus, we're
losing him." he whispered. "Apparate as close as you can to Hogwarts with those
three." He said, looking quickly at Hermione, Ron, and Draco - who were standing
silently behind Snape. "Get Harry to Poppy as fast as you can. I must stay and help
take the Death Eaters and Voldemort's body to the ministry. Go now." Dumbledore
smoothed Harry hair and Remus squeezed his hand.
"Albus, maybe I should go too. Sirius will be no doubt disstressed. He
might, well, act like Sirius." Remus looked worriedly at Snape as Dumbledore
nodded.
"Yes, you should go as well." dumbledore looked sadly once more at
Harry and walked away, towords the Aurors.
Snape stood next to Remus. He turned to the trio behind him. "Well, grab
onto me!" Snape hissed, scowling at them. Not wanting to waste anymore time,
Hermione, Ron, and Draco grabbed onto Snape's robes.
A second later they were at the Hogwart's boundry lines. Remus looked
to Harry as they started walking through the trees. "Severus, Harry's not breathing!"
Snape stopped dead in his tracks and bent down to the ground, taking his wand
out of his robe pocket.
"Recarntem!" Snape said, his wand pointed at Harry's face as the yellow
mist entered his mouth. Snape sighed as Harry started breathing again. "Remus,
keep doing this just to make sure Harry keeps breathing." Remus nodded as Snape
stood again.
They continued walking as quickly as they could through the forest, walking
over roots and rocks. Every other minute Remus would point his wand at Harry,
keeping Harry breathing.
After a few minutes of winding there way through the forest, they finally
reached the edge of the Hogwart's Grounds, where Snape, Remus, Hermione, Ron,
and Draco broke out into a run, racing towords the front door.
As they passed the Astronomy Tower, they all turned as the heard a
scream. "HARRY!" It was Sirius. They stopped at the foot of the tower, and watched
as Sirius jumped of the roof.
"SIRIUS! NO!" Hermione screeched as Sirius started the fall down from
the tower. Remus looked worriedly as Sirius continued to fall, yet noticed how Snape
stayed completely calm.
Ten feet away from the ground Sirius began to slow, and almost stopped
all together as he touched down at the ground. Sirius let out a cry as he raced toword
Snape, who had paled immensly.
Sirius reached Snape and gently took Harry out of Snape's arms, and
sank to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Harry, Harry?" he whispered,
shaking Harry slightly. He hugged Harry to his chest as he pulled Harry's wand out
of his pocket, pointing it at Snape.
"You were supposed to help him!" Sirius screamed, eyes whirling with
anger. Remus stepped in front of Snape, who was staring calmly at the tip of Harry's
wand.
"Sirius!" Remus said warningly. Snape silently walked out from behind
Remus. He knelt down infron of Sirius, who was staring at him, highly confused at
the fact that Snape didn't take out his own wand.
"Sirius," Snape said sadly. "Harry's dying."
Sirius didn't even pay attention to what Snape had said. He was so
startled at Snape's sad voice and that Snape had called him by his first name.
"W - what?" Sirius mumbled, looking up at Remus, who was looking
sadly at him, Hermione who was crying silently, and Ron and Draco, who were
looking down at the ground - trying to hide their tears. Sirius looked back to Snape.
"He's dying, Sirius, Harry is dying." Snape turned his head away, to
ashamed to look at anyone. Sirius just sat there, looking down at Harry.
Snape couldn't bare looking at Siriu's lost expression anymore. He got
up and began to run to the castle, not looking back as Sirius did the same.
Snape turned the opposite way that he knew Sirius would go, and
headed torwords his office. He said the password to a stone serpant guarding
his quarters. He immediately collapsed into the closest chair and put his head in
his hands. He wondered at how he could cry. He hadn't cried for fourteen years -
heck, he didn't even think he could cry.

Sirius raced to the Hospital wing, when he realizd that he couldn't even
enter, for the nurse had no idea that he was innocent. Luckily Remus appeared
shortly, followed closely by Hermione, Ron, and Draco. Remus didn't even question
why Sirius was standing there. Remus took Harry out of Sirius's arms and entered
the Hospital Wing as Sirius changed into the great black dog and entered with
the others.

A.N: I found this chapter very difficult to keep Severus, Sirius and Remus in character.
How'd I do? Please Review!!!!! It will be immensly appreciated.
A.N.N: I'm hoping to get the next chapter in about a week or two. Sorry if this one
wasn't long enough.
