Everyone turned to her. Draco shot up and was happy enough to hug the mudblood but stopped himself after he remembered she is after all still a mudblood.

Arthur didn't say anything more nor did he wait for anyone's permission. He ran out of the infirmary followed closely by Ron and Severus.

Hermione took hold of Molly in her arms and held the woman who was breaking down in sobs.

Draco would have gone but then he remembered all Harry had done to keep Draco safe. But he wanted to be the first one to hold Harry in his arms again.

Dumbledore seemed to sense what the injured blonde was thinking. How could he not? He's Dumbledore, he knows everything. "Draco, Harry would feel better knowing that you're here and safe. I'm sure the others will tell him when they arrive. Just sit tight. They'll be able to bring Harry back safely."

"But- but what if they are too late? What if they don't make it in time?"

"Don't worry Draco. Just wait a while. I'm sure they'll be returning soon."

Draco waited and waited. He was checking the shadows of the trees outside the infirmary every now and then. Trying to see how much the sun had set since the three had left. It was almost nightfall when Draco finally heard them returning.

Draco quickly moved to join them.

Harry had a gash of an open wound on the left side of his head with a thin line of blood trailing all the way down his upper body and disappeared into where his pants had covered his bottom half of his body. Harry's eyes were shut, lips parted and there was a slight rise and fall of his chest to show that he was breathing.

Severus looked much worst off. His robes were torn all over with blood marks seeping through the fabric of his dark clothing. There were gashes all over the mans arms but he had just laid Harry down on the bed next to Draco's in the infirmary.

Draco looked at the other two red heads. They had it the worst. Their faces were bruised and there were cuts all over their bodies. The two red heads only had enough strength to make it to the infirmary and had collapsed onto their own bed.

Madam Pomfry had heard them enter when Draco joined them and was currently running all over the place trying to get as much done as quickly as possible. Draco didn't want to leave Harry's side but he had left for a few moments to inform the Headmaster.

Molly was sitting in between the beds of her husband and youngest son. She was holding her husbands hand and was crying with the hand pressed against her cheek.

Hermione was on the other side of Ron's bed and was rubbing her boyfriends hand and whispering words to him. Draco sat beside Harry's bed holding the Griffindor's hand and running his other hand along the right side of Harry's face. After Madam Pomfry had removed the blood covering Harry's body a large and deep cut was made on Harry's head.

Dumbledore was trying to get as much information about the incident as he could before he realized it was too much for Severus to take and the potion master fell asleep from exhaustion.

Dumbledore finally stood in the little pathway parting the two sets of beds and cleared his throat. The three who were still awake reluctantly turned their attention towards the Headmaster. "I'm sorry to interrupt but I must inform you of the happenings. As told by Severus, when they found Harry he was held hostage by Percy. They had prevented anything to happen to Harry though. And right when they entered the room which held Harry, Percy had picked up the knife and cut Harry's forehead. Although Severus does not understand why Percy dropped the knife soon after and was holding Harry in his arms telling the Griffindor he was sorry. Harry couldn't take the pain of the cut much longer and as soon as Harry had fallen into unconsciousness Percy seemed to have snapped out of something and picked up the knife again and started striking at whoever he could get his hands on except Harry.

"The reason why Percy's two family members were hurt the most was because they were unwilling to fight back after they had seen the comfort he gave Harry."

Molly was crying again, "Wh-what happened to Percy?"

"I am very sorry Molly but they had to do something. Percy is gone now."

Molly sucked in a breath then released it, "It's alright. It's for the better now."

Hermione piped up, "I still don't understand what happened to Percy to make him do this. This just isn't like him. He was a prefect for Merlin's sake!"

"Hermione," said Draco shaking his head, "Just because someone is a prefect doesn't mean they can't be up to no good. Look at me for example."

"But still! I didn't think he would do something like this. Not only taking Harry and holding the both of you hostage but, but he hurt his own family members with no regret. Then he attacked a professor just like that."

"Hermione, just because someone is a professor doesn't make them invincible. And well, his mind probably twisted or something with the ministry." Said Draco

Molly shook her head. "No, it was scabbers. The only pet rat he had that turned out to be Peter Pettigrew who betrayed Harry's parents which made Harry an orphan. We noticed something strange with the rat but it never really connected with anything. A few months ago Arthur and I were talking about it and we realized that Percy has changed a lot but it's not like it's entirely his fault. We knew something was strange when he had the pet rat around. We just never really saw the connection. Then now with both the Dark Lord and that rat gone we thought he would, know you, go back to his normal self but we guessed wrong. He was already too twisted to go back. It was for the better."

There was silence which hung around in the room once again until the Headmaster cleared his throat and made a hasty excuse to leave the infirmary.
