Chapter Thirty-Six

"Hey, Harry, he misses you, you know?" Draco started. "He's miserable, Har. He barely even does anything anymore. I don't think he's even eating. He doesn't come to meals, and he doesn't have any passion for classes."

"I'm engaged to FrednGeorge now. Fred proposed to us last night, and George and I are going to get a ring for him today. I miss you Harry. I'm going to wait to get married until you wake up, because I want you to be my best man. Did you know that Oliver's preggers? He's due in July. Maybe it'll be born the same day as you. Cody and Bill finally moved in together. Bill was stabbed in the arm, and Cody yelled at him until Bill let him take care of him. I was there; it was funny.

"Uhm…we miss you. It's not the same without you, mate. Everyone's walking on eggshells around Remus, Sirius, Ron, Hermione, and me. It gets annoying, but I suppose we were annoying this past month. You know, I've not picked up a dagger or anything sharp to hurt myself, just like I promised. Fred doesn't say anything, but I know he feels responsible. Wake up and help me knock some sense into him, would you?" Draco held Harry's hand as he spoke, squeezing it, wishing for a response. "I wish you'd wake up, Harry. I've got to go, alright? I'll be back tomorrow."

Draco gently laid the Boy-Who-Was-In-A-Coma's hand down and stood. The blonde walked out of the Infirmary and found Ron and Hermione waiting.

"Hey," The Slytherin said as he sat on the bench next to them.

"Hey. How'd it go?" Ron asked.

"No response, but it'll take a while," Draco told them before coughing. "Damn, my voice is getting hoarse."

"Well, go get something to drink, and don't go outside or you might get sick," Hermione told him.

Draco nodded and stood up. "I'll see you later?"

The couple nodded in reply.

"Bye."

"Well, what should we get him? We don't want to get him the same as ours," Draco said to George.

"You're right, but what in the name of Merlin should we get?" George looked at his fiancé.

"I dunno. Oh, that's pretty," Draco pouted.

"Draco, that's a three carat diamond ring. I don't know about you, but I don't have half the money for that."

"I don't either, but it is pretty," Draco pouted cutely.

"Not half as pretty as you, Dragon," George kissed him. Draco smiled.

"Oh, I know! How 'bout we get him a white gold, ruby ring? That way it's like ours, but not the same!"

"You're a gorgeous genius," George kissed him again.

***

{Everything was dark. There was no sound, no breeze, no nothing. He couldn't feel if he was on the ground or floating. Every way could have been up.

Severus took a tentative step forward and the place lit up. He was in a room that had to be at least the size of the Great Hall, and had a grand piano in one corner. A figure sat at the instrument.

A slow, sad song began. Severus had never heard it before, but it moved him. Severus walked to the oak piano and stared at the player, whose black hair fell in such a way that Severus couldn't see his face. The man's fingers flew across the keys, and his feet on the peddles. He played for minutes, and when he finished, he finally looked up.

Severus stared in shock at the green eyes.

"Hullo, Sev," Harry spoke, standing up. The Gryffindor smiled and placed his hand on Severus's cheek.

"Harry?"

Harry smiled and placed a kiss on the Slytherin's lips.

"I heard you're not doing well since the battle," Harry smiled.

"I—I miss you," Severus admitted.

"I miss you, too. You don't need to be sad, love," Harry kissed his cheek. "Be happy."

Severus snorted.

"Alright, be a nasty, cold hearted git," Harry grinned, and Sev grinned back. "Go to meals. I know you're not eating enough."

"Why? I only go to the Great Hall because you're there," The Potions Master told him.

"Aw, do you really?" Harry smiled at him. Severus rolled his eyes. "How's your leg?"

"It hurts."

"Sit down on the piano bench," Harry instructed. With some confusion, the Slytherin did as he was told. The Boy-Who-Lived knelt beside him and put his hand on the injured leg.

"Oh, please," The ex-Death Eater snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Hold on. The pain will shock you awake, so I'm going to say goodbye now."

"Goodbye?"

"Yeah. I don't know if it's for good or not," Harry smiled sadly and stood next to him. "I don't have a lot of time anyway, but giving you this dream is draining me. You have to find some way to help me. Draco, Ron, and Hermione may have found a way. Talk to Draco, alright? Tell him that if he kills himself if I die, that I'll kill him again. Have him tell Remy and Siri I love them, that they are my parents in every sense of the word. And tell Fred it wasn't his fault. And Ron and Hermione…they'll always be my first and best friends."

"Harry…" Severus started. Harry placed a finder over his lips and then replaced it with his own lips.

"I love you, Severus Snape," Harry whispered. He knelt again and placed his hands over Severus's leg. "Medicor sua cruris."

Pain shot through Severus's leg.

"Goodbye, Sev."}

Severus sat up in his bed, drenched with sweat. His leg was burning with pain. That was what startled him the most. It hadn't hurt until now; just ached. He quickly made up his mind.

Severus stepped down on his feet and stood. He took a shaky step forward, and then another. He walked the entire length of the room without limping once.

Sev smiled and tears came to his eyes. He straightened his roes; he needed to speak with his godson.

***

"You're not limping," Draco noticed with astonishment.

"I had a dream. He was in it. He healed my leg. He said that you may have found someway to help him get better."

"We don't know if it works or not, but Ron and Hermione and me are going and talking with him. Apparently, it's supposed to let the comatose know that there are people who want them to get better," Draco explained.

"I don't know why I haven't thought about that. Which one of you came up with that?"

"Actually, Neville Longbottom did," Draco grinned slightly when Severus blanched.

"You've got to be kidding me," Severus wrinkled his nose.

"No, he did. He went bonkers and started yelling at us in the Gryff common room. It was actually funny in retrospect," Draco shrugged.

Severus shook his head.

"So, what did he tell you in the dream?" Draco asked his godfather.

"He said that if you kill yourself, he'll kill you," Severus smirked. "And that you are to tell Fred Weasley that it wasn't his fault."

Drac looked a bit startled. "I didn't tell anyone but Harry what Fred was thinking. He really did come to your dream, didn't he?"

"I think so," Severus sighed. "Do you know if he plays piano or not?"

"He never said anything about it, why?"

"He was playing a sad song on a piano in my dream."

"Hm. Do you know what song it was?"

"No. I'd never heard it before," Severus shook his head 'no'.

"Is that even possible? I mean, hearing something in a dream that you've never heard before?"

"With Harry Potter, anything's possible," Severus snorted.

Draco sat there and looked at his godfather as he stared off into the fire. "He's going to get better. We are going to make him get better."

Severus nodded and gave a small smile.

End Chapter Thirty-Six

Well, that was Thirty-Six! What'd you think? Ohoh, I forgot to ask in the last chapter, what did everyone think about the Harry image that Sev saw? Personally, I thought that was a nice little touch.

TO FRANKIE THE WONDER WEINER DOG, MY 600TH REVIEWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to, but I just can't reply to every review anymore. But that's a good thing! If I get so many reviews that I don't reply to all of them, I'll have more time to work on new chapters. Yeah...that's it...That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Oh, hey, if you want to know when I update, join my group/list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/attywmfmh/ PWEASEEEEEEE JOIN!

It seems like everyone cried last chapter! I'm sorry! Actually, no, I'm not. I purposely made 35 like that so I had everyone hanging until the Neville-rage thing. Looks like it worked.

As for the song that Harry played, I wrote it *bows*. And as soon as I get some MIDI cables, I'll record it and put it in the files section on my group.

Also, I will be doing a sequel (if this ever ends), but this hasn't ended yet (and I doubt it ever will), so when it does end, I will make sure everyone knows about it.

Do you guys think I could get 777 reviews by February 26th? That's my birthday, and that's my favourite number.

THANKS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
