CHAPTER 7

Briseis was listening to a muggle radio when she heard "Only One" by Yellowcard. She sang it to Achilles, hoping to wake him up.

Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces

Achilles was having a dream. 'Mum?' he asked.

'Yes, it's me Achilles.'

And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

Achilles ran and hugged his mother, 'I'm so glad to see you mum,' tears were flowing down his cheeks.

I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know

'Shhh… It's alright son… I'm sorry for causing all this to happen.'

'I don't want to go back mum. I want to stay here with you,' Achilles said.

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

'You can't Achilles, it isn't time for you yet. They need you, Harry needs you.'

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long

Achilles nodded.

'I have to go son, but I'll always be with you'

'No… Mum, don't leave…' Achilles cried.

Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

'Son! Time to join me!' Voldermort said in his high pitched voice, echoing around Achilles.

'No! I'll never join you!'

And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know

'Join me or you'll see your beloved ones die slowly!'

'I'll never give in! You're not and never will be my father!' Achilles shouted, standing up to face the figure.

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

'Glory will be yours! And you'll be free from Dumbledore!'

'Dumbledore is a better father than you'll ever be! Glory will be mine when I destroy you!'

Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

'Potter will die! No one will stop me! You will never wake!'

'Harry is my brother! And I'll be standing by his side when I see you again!' Achilles retorted.

Voldermort smirked, 'Do you think Harry will accept you knowing that you're the son of his enemy? And do you think that the Order will trust you when they know your true identity?'

Achilles looked away from his father, trying not to think about the facts.

'You will never will me. I'm more powerful than you Achilles! Remember that! With that, Voldermort disappeared, leaving his cackling laughter and the words that echoed, 'You will never wake! Potter will hate you forever!'

'No… I won't give up… I will wake…' Achilles slumped into the darkness that engulfed him.

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one

Briseis finished the song and it was already dinner time. She quietly packed the radio and prepared to leave when she heard a soft moan. She quickly turned around and rushed to Achilles.

'Achilles? Please wake… please…' Then, she heard another moan. It was Achilles.

'Hang on Achilles, I'll go and call the rest.' Briseis quickly ran out of the Hospital and headed for the Great Hall. She burst into the Hall with everyone staring at her.

'Achilles… is…' she stopped, trying to breath. Everyone gasped, thinking that he had died, 'Achilles is awake!' She finally got it out.

Achilles opened his eyes slowly and right in front of him was Briseis.

'Briseis…' he whispered weakly. Almost everyone was in the Hospital but only Dumbledore and the Jedis were inside the room.

'Shhh… Don't say anything…' Achilles smiled weakly and enjoyed her presence.

'As much as I hate to interrupt this moment Briseis but Promfrey needs to check Achilles's wound,' Dumbledore said.

Briseis nodded and went out with Dumbledore while Promfrey and a few healers from Saint Mungos performed the check.

She carefully unwrapped the bandage and saw that the wound was slowly healing by itself. One of the healers then drew blood from Achilles to check if there's still poison while the rest bandaged his chest. After a while, Promfrey came out.

'Headmaster, I'm glad to say that Achilles has made a quick recovery and that the poison in him has been taken care of. He doesn't need to stay in the Wing anymore.' There were shouts of joy and cheers. Briseis hugged Sam happily.
