**************************************************************************
Dumbledore made it down the stairs faster than any old man he was sure Harry had seen in his life. He stepped over the unconscious figure of Harry's Uncle, and he knelt down next to Snape.
"Severus," he said gently, as he carefully pried the Potions Masters hand from his shoulder, "Are you okay?" he asked, resting the arm on the floor. Snape's hand was covered in blood from his wound.
Dumbledore tried to lie him down on his back.
"I'll be fine," Snape said, his voice void of any emotion, but his face was paling as fast as he was losing blood.
"Can you stand?" Dumbledore continued. He was concerned with the amount of blood that was soaked up on his colleague's robes. He saw a flash of black hair, and realized that Harry was beside him.
"With a little help, I think," he groaned, and Dumbledore carefully helped him to his feet immediatly, where he swayed a little, and Albus felt the younger wizard lean heavily on him. He hoped silently to himself that he would be able to carry both thier weights back to somewhere safe. When he suddenly felt the weight ease from his tired shoulders, and looked over to see Harry pulling Snapes good arm around his shoulders.
***************************************************************************
Harry tightened his grip on Snape's arm as he felt the Potions Master pull away.
"Let go of me Potter," he snapped coldly.
"Shut up Snape," Harry muttered, rolling his eyes, "I wonder why I even bothered trying to help you," he finished, part of him wanting to just leave him there, but one look at the Exhausted expression on Dumbledores face subdued his anger, and he forced his voice to be calm.
"Just focus on getting back to Hogwarts," he said, fighting to keep his voice even. He felt Snape rest a little more of his weight on him.
"Fine," he said, "too bad I used up my pain relief potion on you."
"Severus," Dumbledore said sternly, "stop being difficult. Do you think you can you apparate?"
"I think so."
"Then get yourself to St Mungo's as soon as you can- no excuses. I will be perfectly fine with Harry."
"But remember what McGonnagal said..........." he started, feeling too weak to argues
"Severus. Now," he said in a commanding voice, "Before you lose more blood and faint in front of Harry. I know that you would rather not do that," his eyes sparkled. Snape glared at Dumbledore, and in the next second he dissapeared with a small pop.
Dumbledore turned to Harry.
"Now lets get you to the hospital wing," he said. Harry nodded silently and tiredly, relieved that Snape was no longer there to make the atmosphere difficult.
************************************************************************
Minerva McGonnagal strode out of Dumbledore's office with a purpose as she headed to the hospital wing, her shadow casting eriely on the stone walls of the castle, but she ignored them as she drew into the hospital wing, where she found Dumbledore sitting on a chair, looking exhausted, and Harry lying asleep-or unconscious, she didn't know which, in a hospital bed. Madame Pomfrey was fussing over him, tending to his Injuries like a bee. McGonnagal chose to sit in a chair next to Dumbledore, and he gave her a weak smile.
"Minerva, how are you, I trust everything is running smoothly?" He asked.
"Of course it is, the students are asleep," she snapped, "You are exhausted Albus, in condition to teach in a few hours, you must get some rest- and where on earth is Severus, don't tell me he got called away again."
"No, he didn't," Dumbledore said quietly, "And it is lucky that if he does get summoned, he will not be able to go, and nor is he in any condition to go either. He is in St Mungo's, if he apparated safely,"
"What?" McGonnagal asked, "Why is he in there? What happened?"
"He was attacked by Harry's Uncle, Minerva, calm down, he will be fine."
"Severus was put in hospital by........a........muggle?" she asked in disbelief
"I did not suspect the man would try anything until I saw him walk past Harry's doorway with a...........a.....Shot..Gun? Im not sure if that is what Muggles call them, but I got there too late to prevent it. He was injured in the shoulder, and bleeding quite badly."
"O.........Okay," Minerva said a little shakily, "What about Harry?"
"He exceeded all my expectations of him once again. He helped me get Severus from his relatives house, even though I know he hates him dearly, but he has a broken arm. It is disslocated too, and he has bruises on his face. His Uncle had hit him."
"I just cannot believe anyone would want to hit him,"McGonnagal said, finally showing that she too was exhausted, "Harry has never done anything on purpose to his relatives. I just can't believe it."
"Im not sure that Severus could either," Dumbledore smiled a little, "He and Harry's Uncle had a mutual hate from the moment they laid eyes on one another. I wasn't sure who had the colder glare.
....Although, our Severus is not as easily intimidated as Harry's Uncle........"
McGonnagal couldn't help herself from chuckling softly.
"I would have liked to see that," She smiled, "Even I cannot rival Snape's temper."
"But I know you scare the students to some degree, they all respect you as much as him, you know it too," he replied, and she blushed a little.
"Well I have been teaching for a long time," she said, "I have had a lot of time to perfect it," She smiled, and then stood up.
"Now, I think you should go up to your rooms and get some rest before you have to teach in the morning," She said, and he stood up, swaying slightly.
"I think maybe I will," he said wearily, "Come and get me if Harry wakes up or if Severus gets back," Dumbledore said.
"I will get a house elf to wake you up for breakfast Albus and no sooner, and if you are too tired I will announce that the students can have a day off. You are in no condition to teach, Severus won't even be in the school, and I am extremly tired. I also know that most of the Griffindor students are still awake wanting to know how Harry is, they too will be exhausted" She said, and directed him out the door.
"But I...."
"Albus," she said, warningly, her eyes flashing dangerously.
"Fine, I take back my previous statement, you are worse than Severus," he smiled.
"You just wait till he gets older," she said, and shut the door behind the headmaster as he left.
