Death Is A Painful Experience.
James motioned to the others and walked out, having to carry his sobbing wife. Albus watched the friends for a moment longer and wiping the tears from his face he followed the other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Well Albus? How did it go? Is he OK?' Minerva asked when he had entered his office. When the now hysterically sobbing Lily walked in she gasped. 'Oh my god- no- not Harry.' She whispered as the tears filled her eyes. 'Not little Prongs?' Lily was now beside herself. And nobody knew what to say.
'They tried everything they could. But it seems to have failed. We wont know for sure until his body stops working. He could remain like that forever, but he wont wake up.' He struggled to say this and felt more tears escape. He looked to Remus and Sirius who were hugging and sobbing. Lily was buried in James arms as he too let the tears fall. Minerva was crying onto a sad looking Snape. Molly was as hysterical as Lily and for once the twins were silent. They all stayed like this for what seemed like ages.
'We're going to see him.' George said standing up suddenly. Fred stood as well but neither seemed to be noticed. They couldn't just sit there and watch as they all gave up on a person they classed as brother.
'If you're sure.' Was all Albus managed to say. His head in his hands. They left the office and ran to the hospital wing.
'Are you sure this could work George?' Fred asked as they neared the door. His twin just shrugged and pushed the door open. The silence was only broken by the sobbing friends. Neither of them seemed to know what to say so they just headed over to the bed and stood there hoping one of them would notice them.
'What is it? We're not leaving.' Ron said staring at them. His face streaked with tears. Fred swallowed, he had never seen them so upset- no distraught.
'We have an idea- we're not sure if it will work- but we're willing to give it a go.' George said firmly, the result was as he expected- they had everybody's attention. He placed a silencing charm on the ward and sat next to his twin.
'What George means is we think we have another idea you could try- but it most probably wont work. But he's worth the risk we're gonna take because he's practically our brother.' Fred added seeing their skeptical looks.
'What do we have to do?' Ginny asked- if it might help she would do anything. George nodded approvingly.
'We give him a part of us.' It was a simple answer but the confused looks they were receiving told him they had no idea what he was on about. He smiled slightly and stood up. 'You give him a part of you- they said that he is growing weaker yes? Well then we give him a part of us- we give him strength and a part of our soul.' Hermione gasped as she realized what he was saying.
'Do you think it would work?' She asked quietly. The others caught on pretty quickly and smiled as they realized it could work.
'If we give him enough to strengthen him again- you could try the unity bond. We reckon it didn't work because he is too weak. And this time we'll help you. Together we'll save him- as he would do for us.' Fred said determinedly. Ginny threw herself on them both, crying and laughing at the same time.
'Come on then- everybody is so upset upstairs- McG is crying. Can you believe it?' George asked trying to lighten the atmosphere- and to his surprise they did indeed laugh.
As only the twins knew exactly what to do they decided to go first. It was easy they said. They placed the wand to their chest and said the spell. The spell was a simple Magus Indefito. Then they placed the wand next to Harry's heart and it was over. They would do the strength after. All seven of them performed the spell and then followed Fred and George as they donated him some of their energy.
The sun was gradually rising and they hadn't realized how much they had all given him. They all fell asleep sat in a circle around the bed. As they slept they didn't see Harry's eyes flicker, or his fingers begin to twitch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Albus? We're just going to check on him.' Minerva said gently snapping him out of the thoughts he had been absorbed in. He looked up and saw that he was indeed the only one left.
'Very well I think I'll come up as well.' The group all made their way up to the wing and to their amazement found they couldn't enter. 'Quiet.' Albus said as they all began to protest. He walked to the door and James stepped back to allow him more room.
'Gin- come on- we've got to finish before anybody comes.' Came Rons voice. He assumed they had fallen asleep.
'Wha. What? Oh right. I'm awake now. Are we all ready?' Ginny's voice floated through the door. Murmuring followed which he took to be agreement.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'We'll come back later.' He said turning from the door. 'I have no idea what they are doing- but they will tell us if there is any changes.' He careful forced them away from the door.
'He's my son-' Lily began, as yet more tears began to fall.
'I am quite aware of that Lily- but they are his friends. They have been for his entire Hogwarts life. They will do whatever they can and I for one trust them completely.' Lily gasped and Dumbledore realized what he said was quite harsh. 'I'm sorry Lils. I didn't mean it like that.' She nodded though she still looked upset but allowed it to pass.
They had without realizing made their way to the great hall. Albus realized they had been in his office for over 8 hours. And it was now lunch time. He was hungry, though he didn't think he could eat anything.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Right- lets begin.' Fred said grabbing his sisters and Hermiones hand. They closed their eyes and again began the chant. But this time it felt different to the five. They didn't feel so weak- they could feel their power surging as they tried to find Harry. With a new determination they surged forward into his sub-consciousness.
The glow was blinding. Never before had a light been so bright. Anybody watching would have been blinded. They continued calling to him. Telling him they loved him, that they wouldn't live without him. Suddenly as before they were forced backwards but amazingly they kept the contact.
They would never know if it was the fact that they kept the contact or if it was because of he was stronger- maybe it was because they had Fred and George there as well. But when they suddenly opened their eyes Harry was led there exactly the same as before.
Does he wake- or does he stay in a coma? Only you can decide!! Review and I'll update tomorrow. That being Thursday in Britain!
