Severus awoke with the sun shining in his face. Groaning he tried to sit up but someone pushed him back.
"You must rest Severus." said a familiar voice. Severus was too tired to argue and once he settled back into his pillows he was out like a light.
A few hours later he woke up to more voices. They were all talking fast, one was crying. He could tell that one was a man and the other two were women, so there were three people in total.
He started drifting between being awake. He tried his best to stay awake, but once again the darkness took him over and he welcomed it.
A week later he was able to stay awake for long periods of time, but what had caused him to be in the Hospital Wing in the first place really worried him. He remembered that Potter, Weasley, and Hermione had graduated only days ago and he wondered what day it was.
It was only the first few days of the summer holiday and he had plans and potions to brew, not waste his time sitting in the Hospital Wing doing nothing.
Dumbledore took a seat next to the younger man. He sighed and then looked at him, dreading what he was going to tell him.
"Severus, there is some news you must know." he said, the younger man nodded his head and the older man continued.
"Now, promise that you will let me speak and not interrupt." continued the older man and Severus nodded his head in agreement.
"We have searched everywhere since the attack. We haven't been able to find a trace of Alexandria until a week ago. Voldemort is keeping her company and we have found out from others that he has broken some of her bones, like her fingers and arms and legs. Letting her wither in pain. He is hoping that she will die a painful death. Just like before.
I told Hermione of this and she has fallen into a depression and we fear if she doesn't get better soon that she will loose the baby." finished the older man.
"Three questions. Who is Alexandria and what does Hermione of all people have to do with this, and who is the baby that might be lost?" asked Severus bluntly.
WAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
