Chapter 19: Healing
Lily had never seen Snape like that, his whole face was contorted and he seemed to be struggling against himself. Could it be Remus? She asked herself, Remus always had hated Snape, but would Remus resort to this?
"Lily! RUN!" Snape's voice came out twisted, and more panicked this time, and Severus began to reach for his own wand, and finally with a pained expression he uttered, "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!"
Instantly, Snape fell to the ground, with a clunk sound, as stiff as a board. Lily stood rooted to the ground, amazed and shocked at what had just happened. She could see Snape's eyes, Snape's now grey eyes staring motionlessly at the sky, but she could see the pain and hurt in it, and then she saw his eyes glaze over, and she knew that he had succumbed to whoever had controlled him.
"SEVERUS!" Lily screamed, and dashed to where he was lying, and she could see him twitching, and she could see him shuddering as though he was crying. "SEVERUS WAKE UP!" Lily screamed again, as she shook Snape, not caring that she was probably making a scene.
Slowly, Severus's eyes lost that glazed look, but they were still grey and cold.
"What's wrong Lily?" His voice came out controlled and cold, and it had the very distinctive drawl to it.
"Malfoy," Lily hissed, and recoiled slightly, before whispering, "What did you do to him?"
"Simply to get my way little mudblood flower," The voice was eerie and exactly like the one in the tower.
"I wanted to become Remus, and I chose tonight to do it. Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that Remus is a werewolf." Malfoy's voice now took on a sickly sweet tone, "You mean you didn't know?"
Lily shook her head, "You're just fooling with my mind Malfoy, just shit off and leave Severus alone, he doesn't deserve this."
"I chose Snape to be my scapegoat, useless tag along he is. Anyway, he changed into Remus for me, most willingly," At this point, Severus's face began to smirk, and Lily grimaced, "Severus, what has he done to you?" She gently said, stroking Snape's face," what has he done to you?"
"Don't' touch me mudblood." The voice came out amused and bitter at the same time. "Well, then Snape had to morph into a werewolf too didn't he, but since his body wasn't built for that, he just altered a little bit, a little torture won't kill the son of a mudblood."
"Why are you doing this?" Lily hissed, feeling nothing but contempt for Malfoy and pity for Snape.
"I want the pureblood, if you let her come to me, I'll set Severus free." Malfoy gave the deal without a trace of feeling, and Lily knew who he was referring to.
"Kim won't look at shit like you." She responded coolly but immediately regretted it when Severus let out a scream of terror, as Lily saw him bleed from within, and she heard Malfoy's voice, "The pureblood please."
"DON'T LILY! DON'T GIVE IN TO HIM!" Lily heard Severus's voice, it was quick and raspy, and Lily flinched when she saw blood trickling out of his mouth.
"I'LL GIVE YOU KIM I'LL GIVE YOU KIM JUST STOP!" Lily screamed and suddenly Severus just lay there limp, bleeding, but his eyes were brown.
"Madame Pomfrey!" Lily gasped, while rushing to Snape and gently touching his hand, found that it was cold and clammy. Madame Pomfrey rushed in and immediately began to tend to Severus, not noticing Lily slip out, to look for Kim.
MEANWHILE..
"Here we are." Kim groaned, and very soon all of them, suffering from the after affects of Personality Reversal Potion, trudged into the Infirmary.
First of all, they heard Lily calling for Madame Pomfrey, and assumed it was because of James. They were shocked when they saw Lily hurry out, tears streaming out of her eyes and down her cheeks.
"In here." She whispered and Sirius, Kim and Becky all ducked into James's cubicle. They saw James breathing easily and looked around very confused.
"I thought you were calling Madame Pom.." Sirius started but Lily hushed him, and told them what had happened, everything that had happened, from the tower to how Snape had been possessed.
"He was just lying there, twitching. It was so gruesome, and then he began to bleed." Lily started crying again, and Kim gently soothed her.
"I'm really sorry Kim, but I just had to, if you had seen Severus's eyes, they were so full of hurt and pain, and he was just bleeding so much, he was in so much pain, I just had to." Lily choked out, and Kim sighed.
"You were never the one for reasoning huh Lily?" She joked, but then said, "Well I won't go to Malfoy, he'll just have to face that fact.
As she said that, they heard a tortured scream coming from Snape's cubicle. Sirius immediately stood up and ran into Snape's cubicle. He had been very quiet, and Lily took it that he was still under the "charm" of the potion. However, he had been in disbelief, and wanted solid proof that Lily wasn't seeing things.
When he got there, he found that he had all the proof he needed. Snape was lying on the bed, shuddering, and Madame Pomfrey was trying to soothe him. Sirius bustled past the nurse and took Snape by his shoulders, although Madame Pomfrey was screaming at him to stop.
"Malfoy, get out of there. You will pay if you continue to do this." He spat out, and Madame Pomfrey stood up and ran out, looking for the headmaster. (lame I know but I just had to get rid of her.)
"Since when did you care?' Malfoy's voice came across as a bored drawl, until Kim entered the room, with Lily and Becky at her heels.
"Oh look, the pretty pureblood. You shouldn't hang around such scum Kimberly. Our parents would seriously disapprove." Malfoys' voice was now actually sounding human, and Lily and Becky looked at the disgusted look on Kim's face in amusement.
"My parents can go screw a tree and I won't give a damn."
Lily and Becky knew that Kim's relations with her parents weren't in tip top condition, but they never knew it was so bad.
"Tut tut Kimberly, won't your parents be disappointed."
"Malfoy since when did you go tut tut?" Becky asked, stifling a giggle and a hangover.
"Shut up mudblood."
"You know that is getting so old," Sighed Lily, her composure regained, and she just stared straight at Severus, who was now jolting, and blood was now flowing out of his mouth.
"Lily, look what you have done to Severus?" Malfoy's voice was cool and calm, but Lily could tell that he was agitated by what they had said.
"I didn't' do that to him, you did." Lily's voice was almost an exact mirror of Malfoy's, and seeing her green eyes blaze was also rather frightening.
"No, mudblood. You did."
"LILY! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?" Severus's voice came out tortured, but it was very forced, and then Snape fought back.
"LILY DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! KIMBERLY DON'T GIVE IN! MY LIFE ISNT' WORTH IT JUST LEAVE! NOW!" Snape's voice was full of emotion, and Lily could see the brown eyes fill up with tears, and very slowly Severus began to cry, "GO! JUST GO NOW!"
"Snape, we are Gryffindors, not some Hufflepuff. We will stay, and we will make sure you get out of this quite alive." Sirius managed to say a decent sentence to his arch enemy, without flinching or anything, what an achievement.
"FOOLISH ONES! GO! BEFORE I HURT YOU!" Snape's voice came out panicked and very pained.
"Do you think that you could hurt us?" Sirius scoffed, his pride kicking in. Suddenly Severus stopped moving, and he returned to himself, after a white light shook him.
"Where did Malfoy go?" Lily asked, still shivering from everything that happened.
"I don't' know." Snape's voice came out shivering and tortured.
"I'm right here." Malfoy was now standing at the entrance of the cubicle. He pointed a wand at Becky and Becky flew towards him.
"RICSUPENTRA!" Malfoy shouted, and Becky began to bleed, from inside. She began to scream in pain and in fear.
"FINITE INCANTANEUM!" Lily shouted, but it didn't work.
"Pathetic mudblood, it wont work. Only the work of a pureblood can reverse this, and that is if Kim comes to me. Now."
Kim hesitated, and Becky was shaking her head, but she coughed out blood, and Kim almost caved.
Lily just stood there, trying to devise a plan to get Kim out of that sticky situation.
Sirius drew his wand and hit Malfoy with a "Petrificus Totalus" curse. Malfoy slumped to the ground petrified, most pathetically.
"RICPENSUTRA!" Snape called, and Becky stopped bleeding.
All heads turned to Snape and he shrugged, giving a slight smile. Smiling through the pain, something only a Slytherin could do.
"RICPENSUTRA!" Sirius shouted, but nothing happened, he was pointing his wand at Snape, trying to stop the bleeding.
"It only works if you really want it to stop bleeding." Snape grimaced and Sirius blushed a bit.
"Ricpensutra!" Lily called, and instantly Snape stopped bleeding. Severus looked up in wonder, and saw her standing there, she was smiling as she said, "That was on behalf of Kim."
Giving Snape a quick smile, Kim and Becky pulled Lucius to his feet and Sirius hurried to help carry Malfoy out.
"Thanks Lily, thanks for everything." Severus, who was slumped against the pillows, the stains of blood still remaining, and Lily winced.
"Thanks for what?" Lily asked, as she took a seat near Severus.
"Thanks for showing me that someone still cares."
"Someone will always care Severus, even when you think that nobody does, someone still does."
"You're not what I made you out to be Evans."
"Some people aren't quite what they seem either." Lily looked straight at Severus before grinning, "Don't think the pranks will lay off Snape."
"Wouldn't even dream of it." Snape grinned, and that was the first time Lily had seen him smile a real smile instead of a smirk.
"We're just pleasant acquaintances?" Lily asked, stretching out her hand.
"But of course." Snape reached out a hand, "Except for Black, I can tell he still hates my guts."
"They didn't' see what I saw, they didn't' hear you cry out in pain in your dreams. They didn't' hear you say how your dad threw you out." Lily's face shone with sympathy and Snape winced.
"Don't pity me."
"Wouldn't even dream of it. And don't worry, I won't tell. I only told Becky, Kim and Sirius, and most likely James, but I doubt they really believed it. They probably thought I was hallucinating or something. After all..er..i had something along the lines of a shock today, and I don't mean the letters."
"How do you know that I know?"
"A little bird told me."
"I shouted it in my sleep didn't I."
"Of course."
"Dammit."
"Well then, I better go now, get well soon Severus, and be careful of Malfoy."
"Thanks, I think I can handle him though, I think I can."
"Never thought that you couldn't considering that you got controlled by him."
"Oh shut up."
"Bye Severus."
"Bye, Lily." Snape smiled, and waved, before lying back as Lily walked out of the room.
"Bye Lily, and thank you." Severus grinned to himself, before falling into a dreamless sleep.
A/N: Don't worry, Snape doesn't like Lily in THAT way, just as a friend.
