Hearts Do Change
Chapter 7: Blame
It is Christmas eve and the hospital wing of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry is anything but cheery. There is a girl lying in a hospital bed unconscious. Severus Snape, the seemingly uncaring, unemotional potions master is slumped over in his chair, tightly grasping one of her hands and he is too, unconscious. The headmaster and the medical witch are there as well if only to watch and wait. And there is a young man with large ravens wings, in a black, silk, cheongsam on the floor with his back up against a cabinet or something, nearly to tears because he was not able to protect the one he calls little sister.
But how do you save someone who is so deeply introverted. So caught up in a whirlwind of memories and experiences that have played such a role in there life that they know not that it is only a memory in the state of unconsciousness. Is it possible to save one such as this?
" HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HER!!!!!" Phalin suddenly screamed and pointed at the slumped over figure of Severus. The handsome face was contorted in anger and pain. " HE SHOULD HAVE PAYED MORE ATTENTION! HE WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER!" He screamed again, wanting to perhaps blame someone for Anya's state, " I should have been there for her…" And blaming himself in the process.
This is what happens when you love someone as deeply as Phalin loved Anya.
Sisterly or otherwise.
"Phalin…" Anya uttered softly, almost too low for even him to hear. Her eyes were moving rapidly under her skin, and Severus's were doing the same. She was remembering again.
Anya's mind.
" My name is Phalin." There was a young man carrying her. And she was in no shape to even have her eyes open but it didn't stop her. Akira…gods awful demon warlord idiot had gotten her again. She was sure he'd kill her this time but….she was saved.
