A/N: I know, I know! Long wait and I'm really sorry! I just finished exams so yah! Here's your update!!!

Snape gathered Audrey in his arms and rushed towards the hospital wing, as fear gripped him. he couldn't bare to lose his daughter.He didn't know what had caused Audrey to fall limp before his very eyes, all he knew was that

"Poppy! Hurry!" Severus shouted as he burst into the Hospital Wing and hurried towards the nearest bed, placing Audrey down gently.

"Severus! Really what's with all the no- my word!" Poppy exclaimed as she spotted Audrey's limp figure on the bed. She hurried towards Audrey's side, pushing Severus out of the way as she began her routine check up.

"Will she be alright?" Severus asked worriedly as he watched Madam Pomfrey fuss over his daughter.

"Will she be alright?" Severus asked worriedly as he gazed at his daughter's pale, limp figure.

"In time Severus, this child has been through a terrible ordeal. Tell me, what happened before she collapsed?" Madam Pomfrey questioned as she took her gaze away from Audrey and focused it on Severus.

"I was talking to her, then when I held her... she stiffened up and started trembling before she collapsed." He recalled a blank look in his eyes as he stared at the wall, shock taking over his body.

"Trauma. You must have brought back memories when you held her. It's no wonder that she collapsed, with the condition that she's in. It was only to be expected."

"What condition?"

"Don't tell me that you haven't noticed a change in her behavior or at least physically!"

"What changes?!"

"She's been starving herself! Can't you see it?! Her sunken cheek bones and shrinking figure! I cannot believe you Severus Snape! She is your daughter and yet you fail to notice that she's killing herself!"

"Oh God..." Severus whispered in disbelief as he collapsed onto the chair nearby, the little color left on his face gone. For once his eyes shone with tears as he stared at the white wall, Chris' words echoing in his head.

Everything finally made sense. Chris had been right all along, trying to tell him about Audrey's condition. But he hadn't listened and now he was distraught.

"Severus. Do you want me to call Albus and Christopher?" Madam Pomfrey asked, her tone softening at the sight of his condition. All he could manage was a nod in reply causing Madam Pomfrey to sigh. She gave him one last look before heading towards the back where the fireplace was located.

"They're coming." She informed him as she appeared once more. She then changed Audrey into a pair of Hospital pajama's before tucking her into bed.

Soon enough, Dumbledore and Chris burst in just as she was about to attach Audrey to a medical support.

"How is she?" Chris asked worriedly; slightly out of breathe as he rushed to the bed side.

"She's in a critical condition, I'm afraid to say." Madam Pomfrey said sadly as she unrolled the tubes connected to the medical support.

"Bloody hell!" Chris growled as he turned to face the other wall before slamming his fist into it.

"Christopher! There is no need for rash actions!" Dumbledore said firmly as he placed a hand on Severus' shoulder.

"Will she be alright, Poppy?" Dumbledore asked as he averted his attention to her.

"With this, she will be. She's severely under weight and she's suffering a severe trauma from the incidents of last summer." Madam Pomfrey stated as she inserted the IV to a vein on Audrey's right hand.

"What are you doing?" Chris asked suddenly as he stared blankly at Audrey's figure, Madam Pomfrey nearby as she adjusted the knobs of the support system that Audrey was on.

"This, Mr. Snape gives her body the nutrients that it severely lacks. Now I suggest that you head back to bed. Audrey will be fine, you can visit her tomorrow." Madam Pomfrey instructed as she placed her hands on her sides, eyeing both Snape's sternly.

"No, I can't leave Audrey." Severus said his voice a bit hoarse.

"Severus you are going to bed, you need your rest. Albus would you kindly escort Severus to his quarters?" Madam Pomfrey said as she pulled the curtains surrounding Audrey's bed close.

"I was thinking of doing just that. Come on Severus, Christopher, time for bed." Dumbledore said cheerfully as he helped Severus to his feet. With that done he led both Snape's back to their respectful quarters.

Chris trudged up the stairs of the Slytherin House as he thought of ways to break the news to Draco. With a deep breathe he swung the door of their room open and headed towards his bed.

"Where have you been?" Draco hissed sharply as he sat up, pulling the curtains of his four poster bed apart.

"Hospital Wing." Chris muttered as he slid his shoes off and sat on his bed, thoughts clouding his mind.

"Why?" Draco pressed on as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Draco... Audrey... collapsed, that's why I was there..." Chris said shakily as hot tears pricked at his eyes. He had never realized how much his sister meant to him until now.

"No... you're joking, right?" Draco asked, his voice unsure as he looked at Chris expectantly. Chris just shook his head causing Draco to sigh. Uneasy silence passed between them as both boys looked at the cold stone floor.

"I'm going to bed." Chris finally said, breaking the silence. Draco nodded in agreement before they both pulled the curtains around them.

"Tea?" Dumbledore asked cheerfully as he conjured a teapot of hot tea, milk, sugar and two teacups.

"I'm a horrible father, aren't I?" Severus said hoarsely as he looked up with pain filled eyes.

"Severus, you are not a horrible father, you are doing a terrific job and just because you have failed this once, it doesn't mean that you have failed over all." Dumbledore said wisely as he poured himself a cup of tea.

"How could I not have noticed Albus?! She was right there and yet I failed to notice what she was doing to herself! I'm the reason why she's in that condition Albus! If I hadn't been so blind then she wouldn't be there! I could have stopped it!" Severus said angrily.

"Do not dwell on what has been but on what is to be. he only thing you can do now is to be there for her. She has suffered greatly and now more than ever she needs a father."

"I don-"

Severus was cut off when Madam Pomfrey's head appeared in the fire.

"Severus! Albus! Come quick!" she said before her head disappeared. Both men instantly got to their feet and rushed to the Hospital Wing.
