Please if there are any atrocious grammatical or spelling errors, bring them to my attention. I am also into Exams soon (We're just ending the school year in Australia), this may slow down updates but rest assured that I intend to finish this and if I ever change my mind I will let you know, so please do watch this space and updates will occur eventually.
Just another small note, this is set 6th year. Ootp never took place, anything relevant that happened, in 5th year, I'll let you know as we continue. Sirius therefore did not die by falling through the arch thingy.
Chapter 3 To The Infirmary
Upon the discovery that his student, having used him as both leaning post and facial cloth had now fainted on top of him Severus decided it would be a good idea to deliver his small charge to the infirmary. Upon realising said charge was not breathing he decided to do this, in a panicked and desperate manner. He would have levitated the teen but then he would have needed to use his wand to direct the corpse.-body and would have been unable to throw the very many resuscitation charms that were now assaulting the small form in his arms as he ran to the great well of knowledge and comfort incarnate in Mme. Pomphrey.
Upon reaching the cavernous room filled with beds that was the infirmary, luckily not housing any students at this present moment, Severus desperately called to his co-worker. "Poppy, come quickly, it's Mr. Potter, he's not breathing, Merlin come quick." The form of the middle-aged medi-witch came hurtling in from her office. What she lacked in grace she made up for in speed and so managed to look none the less impressive for all that half her white hair had escaped her hat. "What happened Severus? Was it Malfoy?" "I don't know what it was Poppy, I was with him at the time, it's almost as if he just gave up." He just stood there looking around wildly as Mme. Pomphrey settled Harry into a cot. "Not far from the truth there I think," The medi-witch observed as she attempted a full magical body scan but was unable to complete it. "There's a strong magical force surrounding his body. It's like his whole body has gone into complete stasis, protected by his magic, like a shield resisting my magic and probably physical contact or damage as well, watch." Snape gazed on in morbid fascination as Mm. Pomphrey proceeded to summon a knife from a small table and pressed the scalpel-keen blade to the flesh of one of Harry's palms. By rights this should have bitten through the skin with the slightest pressure, but instead left no mark. "All my charms were ineffective because the magic blocked them." Severus whispered in understanding. "He's not.he's going to be.isn't he?" He was having problems forming those words. "I don't know Severus," Poppy said truthfully "I've never treated this before, considering the nature of this affliction however, that it was not caused by another and with the magical shield, I think it is safe to say that on some level, not necessarily conscious this is what our Harry wanted." Her voice wavered almost indiscernibly but Severus caught it and looked up to see the medi-witch turn her face away, hand covering eyes.
Severus sat heavily in a chair next the bed Harry was in, he noted belatedly that he was going into a state of shock and would probably pass out quite soon, however by this stage he was too far gone to do anything about it and to Mme. Pomphrey's horror dropped unconscious (still breathing though). She levitated him to the closest bed and decided to allow him to come round in his own time, which was, she had heard much more comfortable than the ever popular charms.
Leaving her charges to call the headmaster, Mme. Pomphrey was not there to witness the moment light began to emanate from Harry and circle Severus weaving around him tentatively, almost shyly waiting for an answer from his subconscious, which eventually came in the form of an equally bright light which merged with the first to create a glow much stronger than either, small tendrils wrapping themselves around each body the two connected by one cord attached at the base of each head. Then as suddenly as it had appeared the light faded so that when Mme. Pomphrey returned there was nothing to suggest that anything strange had occurred, bar the fact that Snape was not breathing. Having noticed this for the second time that day Poppy attempted to do a full body scan and failed. Something in her broke and she simply stood holding one of Severus' hands, this was how Albus Dumbledore found her five minutes later.
"According to your own diagnosis Poppy, unless Severus had wanted to he could not have followed Mr Potter, where ever he has gone, it is what he wanted." "Albus just because someone wants something doesn't make it right, many people want to die should we then be happy when they achieve this goal." "They're not dead Poppy." Albus said as calmly as he could, pretending not to hear Mme. Pomphrey's whispered reply, "Not yet." "Mme. Pomphrey, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to formulate a lie that will explain Harry's stay here for an indeterminable amount of time, it must be fool proof or Miss Granger will be sure to pick up any discrepancies, Professor Snape has been called away on family business, and it is not known when he will return, please inform the other staff and any students of this. Both of these patients must be taken to a private room to be cared for, to be visited by no one. Is everything clear." "As crystal headmaster." "If you will excuse me I have a new potions teacher to find, good day Poppy." And with that Albus Dumbledore exited the infirmary.
The announcement that Harry had caught an extremely rare strain of Wizard's flue was received with reactions ranging from the accepting to the slightly sceptical, but this was only caused by the disbelief that something so relatively ordinary could happen to The Harry Potter. And so it was established that Harry would be absent for quite sometime and in quarantine. If anyone thought that the news of Severus Snape's urgent family business was strange they didn't mention it, almost everyone had just assumed he didn't have a family.
