Draco bent over as pain laced down his spine. "Sev?"

Snape grunted, before a sickening crack rang through the room.

"Severus? What the hell was that?" Draco reached through his bond to find Harry. "Sev! I can't feel Harry. What if he's in trouble? What if he's dead? Oh Merlin, Sev. He could be dead!"

"Don't think like that. Find that damn map. He's probably just talking to Granger and he blocked you."

"But he never blocks me." Draco wiped his hand across his face clearing his tears enough to spread the Marauder's map across the couch.

Severus glanced across the map. "He's in his classroom Drake. Leave him alone. He should be home by dinner."

Seven o'clock came to find Draco staring at the door.

"Sev? He hasn't come home yet. He hasn't even moved from his spot. Can we check on him… please? Something has to be wrong."

"Yes, Draco we will go and peek in the room. He has me worried as well. He has never blocked us for this long and he has always been here when we expect him to be."

"What if there is something seriously wrong with him? I'll never forgive myself for waiting this long."

"Drake, you know nothing for certain right now. He probably just fell asleep."

Draco could tell that Severus really didn't believe that. Harry didn't even sleep for ten hours at night, never mind during the day.

-----

Hurrying through the halls, Draco was the first to reach Harry's classroom. Draco collapsed just inside the doorway at the sight of Harry's pale body sprawled across the windowsill. Severus rushed past Draco's form and gathered Harry in his arms. Pausing to inform Draco that Harry was, in fact, breathing, Severus ran through Hogwarts to the hospital wing, all the while listening to Draco's frantic footsteps follow behind. Placing Harry onto an unoccupied bed, Severus pushed Draco into a nearby chair and remained standing as Poppy bustled around.

"It looks like he severed his bond. He has about six hours at the most. I'm going to give him a potion. It should keep him awake for about an hour, but he will still be in a lot of pain, unless the bond is reestablished.

"Harry, it's Sev. Can you hear me?"

"What happened?"

"You severed our bond… why?"

"I sever-oh. Look, it's for the best. Where's Drake?"

"I'm right here, Lion." Draco pulled his chair closer to Harry.

Harry smiled. "I'm glad you're here. I love you both, so much."

Severus sank into a chair across from Draco. "Then why? If you love us, like you claim, why leave?"

"I'm in the way. I know you'd rather be together, without me."

"What? Have you lost it? We love you!"

Harry's face hardened, his eyes flashed with anger. "Don't! Don't try and kid me! I heard you two after class. Finally got privacy? Let's do this before Harry gets home? Look, I'll never forget what you have done for me. You'll never understand what this year was like, believing I was loved. But I knew when I joined this relationship that I wouldn't last, although it lasted longer then I expected. I would have dumped me earlier."

"Harry, you don't understand. We love you. You mustn't think otherwise."

"Please, stop. I said don't. Not now. I don't want to hear—."

"No! You don't want to hear the truth! We love you; no matter what you believe. Today, we were planning a surprise for our graduation. We planned a special dinner, just for the three of us. You've obviously had your doubts about our relationship if you didn't confront us before doing something so stupid-so…so…GRYFFINDOR, and now you're dying. How could you leave us like this? You promised you'd be here for our child." Draco placed a hand tenderly on his stomach. "Sev and I need you, you idiot. I can't take the stress of watching you die. After all I went through to be allowed you love-Sev's love-you're willing to walk away! You're not a Gryffindor. You're a coward. You're nothing… a good-for-nothing coward! How could you think of leaving me?"

Draco sunk in his chair and visibly folded in on himself. Sev walked around the bed and gathered Draco in his arms.

"I'll be back in two hours, to reestablish our bond, then you'll be on your way and we will never see you again. Your items of any value, consisting of Hedwig, your broom and your invisibility cloak, will be sold, with the profit going towards our child; everything else will be burnt. Your Gringott's account will also go towards our child, who will never know of you. Your bond will be kept, only because death is too good for you. You may have saved the wizarding world but you have hurt Draco, and I will never forgive you for that."

"I don't understand."

"You may be alive, but you are dead to us, Potter."


Sev and Draco are definitely really angry at Harry. Will they calm down and take Harry back, or is it actually over? Will Harry ever get to meet his child?
