Chapter 9
Alexander was working frantically to save Harry's life. He heard others scramble in and he sent Sirius out. "C'mon men we've got to buy him a little more time…"
~~~
Ron, Hermione, and Ginny saw Sirius shoved out of a room and raced towards it. They headed towards the door and flung it open.
"Get out of here!" A healer yelled at them.
"No." Hermione said.
"Harry!" Ginny screeched seeing him as the healers worked on him.
~~~
"Harry!" Harry heard echo through his head and he tried to open his eyes or do anything but it wasn't working. He saw then as though they were on the other side of a portal, which was extremely bright, his mom and dad. And down below in a darker looking place Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and everyone he'd be leaving. He felt something pulling him back towards Ginny and the others.
~~~
"We've got a pulse!" Alexander exclaimed smiling.
"Now get out kids!" The healer all but shoved them out of the door.
"Doctor Phoenix! Heads up!" Ron tossed the lung in as Alexander turned around and he grabbed it on impulse.
The door slammed and Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went out to join Sirius.
~~~
Alexander smiled to himself. His wife was always right. They'd made it and he had a shot.
"Alright inject some sleeping draught into him we're going to save Harry's life. Go on! And get ready we're operating." Alexander said.
~~~
"I'm glad you all made it back in time." Sirius said.
"So are we." Ron said.
"I hope he makes it." Sirius said.
"He should we got the lung." Ginny said.
"Yeah." Hermione said. "What happened to make Harry end up back here?"
"He was… bad…" Sirius said and got puzzled looks from everyone but he waved off any further questions.
~~~
"Alright now this is going to go delicately. We've got to cut the infected lung out just right and get this one in perfectly." Alexander said as they prepared to cut out the lung, which went off without a hitch, but as they prepared the other lung for the transplant Harry flatlined again. "Damn it! Get that heart pumping! We are NOT going to lose him!"
~~~
Harry was trying to go to his parents but something kept jerking him backwards back towards his body and the others. It stopped and he walked more freely towards the other side.
~~~
"No, no, NO!" Alexander screamed and then barked out orders. "Get that lung in! Directly shock his heart! Keep him alive!"
The team started doing everything they could, getting the lung in, trying to get his heart to start, and everything seemed to be in vain because nothing was happening.
~~~
Harry was having a war in himself now. Should he go back and fight off his problems or had he done enough? Didn't he deserve some peace? He was stopped from moving forward or backward and was extremely confused.
~~~
"What's taking so long? Why aren't they done?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know." Ron said.
"I hope he's alright." Hermione said.
Sirius sat staring blankly in a corner of the waiting room. He had seen Harry. Harry had been awful. And he had gotten worse. And Sirius didn't know what to hope for anymore… a release or a miracle?
~~~
"Respire!" Alexander said the spell pointing his hands at Harry's lung which inflated and deflated with the other since the tube was in still. "Get the tube out we're going Muggle on this." Alexander said as he got Harry's chest closed back up. Alexander explained CPR and they started it.
~~~
Let me go! Harry thought viciously. Either way would be better than this limbo! Harry stared back and forth between his parents and the others he'd leave behind. He was torn. On one hand it was his parents! But then his fiancée would be left behind. And Sirius would be devastated… Harry waited for the next move to be able to be made.
~~~
Alexander was using a CPR Bag to pump air into Harry's chest as someone else was trying to make the heart beat. They kept it up… trying and trying.
~~~
"It has definitely been too long." Ginny declared.
"Yeah." Ron and Hermione agreed.
"Be patient." Sirius said. They stared at him because he seemed the most anxious of them all.
~~~
And finally the decision was in and Harry could move again. Into the light or back to the living… And so he moved.
