Intro: Draco's fallen into a coma and his loved ones especially his godfather, are not taking the news well
"Coma" they all whispered.
Poppy nodded.
"I'm so sorry" she tells them softly.
Afterwards she turns away and walks off leaving the others to come to terms with the awful news.
Severus sinks into the chair behind him.
Lily knelt next to him and took his hands in her own.
"It's going to be OK Sev Draco is strong he will overcome this" said Lily, moving one hand up to caress the side of his face.
Meanwhile Harry was so overwhelmed he collapsed but Angel caught him and lifted the teen into his arm before sitting down in the seat. Spike was so shocked he felt his legs start to shake and had to grab a hold of the end of the bed to stop him from collapsing to the floor.
They all sat or stood in silence.
Lily glanced over and saw her son curled up on Angel's lap she studied how Angel held Harry as he wept for the fate of his best friend it was the way someone held their loved one after finding out devastating news.
Angel who felt like he was being watched looked up only to be met with the same green eyes. Lily gave him a smile and it was at that moment Angel realized Lily knew about his relationship with her son. Angel gulped but Lily just continued to smile.
"Take care of him for me?" She asked him, before turning back to her devastated best friend.
Angel relaxes his body and nodded before pulling Harry closer. Lily then stood up and pulled a heartbroken Severus to his feet.
"Come on Sev let's get you out of here" said the red-haired witch.
The still stunned wizard nodded.
He walked over to the bed that held his now comatose godson he looked at him for a moment before bending down and kissing his forehead he then let Lily take his hand and guide him out of the room of the hospital wing. She then lifted her wand and conjured her doe and sent it to Albus explaining the situation of Severus's absence from the school.
***Spinner's End/ park***
As they reappeared just outside Severus's house Lily gave Severus's hand a gentle squeeze as they walked down the side walk under a blanket of stairs to their old hangout.
Entering the park they walked over to the lake
As they got to the lake, Lily walked Severus over a bolder and sat him on it. She looked around this was their special place they use to come here all the time when they were kids and even on the holidays they'd come out here and just hang out for hours.
Lily took his hands and lifted his chin up, so they were looking at each other.
"I'll always stand by you," said Lily.
Just then a tear slipped from Severus's eye and rolled down his cheek before Lily wiped it away the situation that brought on this sadness was too much for Severus and he broke down.
He bent down and held tight to Lily, Lily stroked his hair before pulling back and cupping Severus's face while wiping the tears from his eyes. Lily smiled and hugged Severus to her body while whispering in his ear.
"You're not on your own in this don't be afraid to lean on me"
***Back at Hogwarts an hour later ***
Harry woke on the sofa in Angel's sleeping quarters Angel was sitting in an armchair grading papers, Harry yawned and sat up Angel looked up and set the papers and quill aside he stood up and walked over to Harry and sat next to him.
"Harry" Angel whispered his lover's name.
Harry looked up his eyes were rimmed red Angel handed the teen his glasses, so he could see when things were clear Harry saw Angel giving him a concerned look and a sad smile.
"Please Angel tell me Draco's going to be ok tell me he's going to make it and pull through tell me he's going to wake up" sobbed Harry.
Throwing himself at his boyfriend.
"No Harry I won't tell, you that," said Angel.
Harry pulled away and looked at him.
"Why not?" asked Harry.
"It would be lying Harry and I will not lie to you the truth is we don't know if Mr. Malfoy's going to be ok or if he's going to make it and pull through or even if he's going to wake up" said Angel.
Harry sighed and racked his hand through his hair before standing up.
"Harry" said Angel as he to stood, up.
Harry just gave his boyfriend a sad smile.
"I'm going to head for the Gryffindor common room," said Harry.
"Alright sleep well my green eyes."
He gave his young love a hug and a kiss before walking him to his door.
Harry walked out, however Harry didn't go to the Gryffindor common room. Instead he made his way out into the grounds and walked over to the Whomping Willow, when he was only a few feet away he pulled out his wand.
"Immobulus."
The Whomping Willow stopped moving.
Harry walked towards the tree and slipped through the secret hole at the base, then walked down the tunnel before walking up the flight of stairs leading to the shrieking shake. He walked into the room and over to the bed that was there, once close to the bed Harry collapsed on the bed in tears.
***Else where***
Hermione the Wesley's Neville Blaise Pansy Vincent and Gregory were all searching for Harry, After the Gryffindor's checked their common room only to find him not there Ron and Neville checked their room yet still no Harry.
They were now on the third-floor walking through the corridor.
"Where is he?" asked Ginny.
As she and the other's passed the hospital wing.
"Wait guys," said Hermione.
Everyone stopped and walked inside.
Poppy was just walking out of her office when she spotted Hermione and the others.
"Miss Granger what is it?" asked Poppy.
"Madam Promfry we were wondering if you've seen Harry?" asked Hermione
"No, I haven' last time I saw Mr. Potter I had informed him Professors Masters Liam Snape and Harry's mother Lily of Draco's condition" said Poppy.
"Thanks" said Hermione.
She turned and was about to walk out when Spike spoke up.
"I saw Mr. Potter….
Hermione stopped and turned she was surprised to Spike sitting at Draco's bedside.
… He left with Professor Liam a while back" said Spike.
"Thank you Sir" said Hermione.
They all looked down at Draco a sad expression on their faces.
Get better soon Draco they all thought
Before walking out of the hospital wing.
They all walked to the changing staircase and down to the 3rd floor. Coming upon the classroom they knocked on the door seconds later it was opened ", Miss Granger, Mr. Wesley, Miss Wesley Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Zinabi, Miss Parkinson Mr. Crabbe Mr. Goyle what are you doing here?" asked Angel.
"Sorry to bother you sir but we're looking for Harry Professor Masters said he was last seen with you" said Hermione.
"He was here for an hour then he said he was heading for the Gryffindor common room" said Angel.
"But sir he not in the Gryffindor common room" said Hermione this alarmed Angel however he hid his worry from them.
"Would you like me to help you look for him?" asked Angel.
"No thank you sir" said Hermione.
Angel nodded and closed the door.
Hermione turned around to face the others.
"Now what?" She asked.
"Let's check the grounds," said Pansy and Ginny.
They all nodded and headed outside.
They were walking outside when the Ron noticed the Whomping willow.
"Ah guys look at the Whomping willow," said Ron. They all turned and looked at it.
"It's not moving," said Vincent.
Suddenly their eyes widened and they all looked at each other.
"Harry"
They ran to the Whomping willow and each slid into the hole at the base of the tree and walk down the tunnel until they got to the stairs, they walk up the stairs.
***Shirking shake***
However, as they stood at the top of the staircase they all stop, lying on the bed in the room crying his eyes out was Harry they all walk in and over to him Hermione sat on the bed beside him.
Harry" whispered Hermione.
The boy looked up and saw his friends he then sat up Hermione took his glasses off and wiped his eyes before putting the glasses back on and giving him a hug. Ginny sat next to Hermione and Pansy sat on the other side of Harry while the boys sat behind him.
The boys squeezed his shoulder while the girls hugged him this brought tears to Harry's eyes and slid down his cheeks. Harry wrapped Hermione in a hug and cried.
***Spinners end/Park***
It had gotten late so Lily and Severus left their lake and walked back to Severus's house, when they got back to the house they walked inside, and Severus closed the door before turning to his best friend.
"Lil it's late Potter will be worried," said Severus a light irritation colored his tone
After 18 years Severus still hated that the witch he loved was married to the person that had tormented him while in school.
Be thankful you have her friendship said his conscience.
Lily smiled and walked over to him.
"I'm not leaving you to go through this alone Sev besides I'd be going home to an empty house" said Lily.
Severus looks up in surprise "Why."
"James is away playing Quiddich, he left the day after Harry went to Hogwarts. I know for a fact if Harry was in Draco's position you wouldn't allow ME to be on MY own so what makes you think I"M allowing you to be on YOUR own" said Lily.
Those words brought a smile to Severus's sad and tear stained face.
Afterwards Severus walked off though the door to grab some sheets, a blanket and a pillow while back in the living room; Lily transfigured her clothes into a thin strap Slytherin green nightgown then pulled out the fold out bed.
When Severus returned he stood in the doorway admiring his best friend.
You have no idea how beautiful you are tiger lily thought Severus.
"Here Lil" said Severus.
Walking into the living room and handing her the blankets sheets and pillow
Turning around Lily smiled and took the items from his arms.
"Thank you Sev"
She then set them down; together they made up the bed when they finished Lily looked and saw that Severus had this heartbroken look on his face.
"Sev what is it?" asked Lily, walking over to him.
"It's nothing it's just…
Severus swallowed the lump in his throat
…. I used to do this for Draco when came to stay before he moved in with me" said Severus.
"Oh Sev" said Lily sadly before wrapping her arms around him hugging him.
Some time passed before Severus pulled back but when he did Lily pulled him down onto the fold out bed, they sat with their backs resting against the back of the sofa.
Sev looked over at Lily seeing her dressed in her green nightgown.
"Someone's ready for bed, by the way green looks good on you"
Lily smiles.
She takes out her wand and transfigures his robe into a pair of black PJ's.
"Now you are to by the way you have always looked good in black" Lily comments.
Severus smiled as Lily wrapped him up in her arms.
Severus sighed and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I can't lose him Lil" whispered Severus.
Lily took Severus face between her hands.
"You listen to me Severus Tobias Snape you're not going to lose him," said Lily.
"I lost Narcissa and Lucius" whispered Severus.
Pain flashed though both their eyes they both lost someone that night 7 years ago Severus lost his best friend to Voldemort's power hungry ways while Lily lost a good friend in Narcissa Malfoy even though she visited her old friend whenever she could. But it was never the same and she always left St Mungo's Hospital with a broken heart
After some time, Severus got up.
"I'll see you in the morning Lil" said Severus.
"Night Sev" said Lily.
She stood up and hugged him then kissed his cheek.
Severus smiled and disappeared though the door and up the stairs to his room.
***Shirking shake/ ***Hogwarts grounds******
Harry pulled back and whipped his eyes.
"Come on its very late we should head back," said Pansy.
"You guys go on I'll catch up" said Harry.
They all nodded and hugged him before leaving, Harry stayed there for a moment more then left. As he was walking back to the school a cloaked figure stood at the entrance to the forest. The figure stood watching Harry.
"Soon my Harry you will be mine and NO ONE can stop me"
He then turned and walked into the forest
Entering the school Harry was now making his way up the stairs towards the 7th floor however he made a detour to the first floor and made his way towards the hospital wing on the way he bumped into his boyfriend Angel. They each gave each other a sad smile and continued walking
"I thought you'd be in bed by now love it is already 10:30pm" said Angel.
"I know I'll go to bed once I've seen Draco what are you doing up." Asked Harry
"I have to TRY and see if I can get Spike to get something to eat and drink and see if I can get him to sleep I don't think he's left Draco's side"
****Hospital wing****
They pass the hospital wing and walk inside, they were walking to Draco's bed When they suddenly hear someone talking and stop, looking around the curtain blocking the view they saw Spike talking to the comatose Draco.
"Mr. Malfoy you have to hang in there you have, to hold on for your friends Mr. Potter Professor Liam your uncle Mrs. Potter, Furthermore, you have to hang in there for me, you have to keep fighting" he whispered the last part.
He picked up one of Draco's hands and kissed the back of it
He stayed here the whole time thought Harry and Angel.
Tears were streaming down Spike's face as he leans over and kissed Draco's forehead. Both Harry and Angel backed away and left the hospital wing.
"I've never seen Spike like that before" said Angel.
As they made their way to the changing staircase
"Never?" asked Harry.
Angel shook his head.
"Wow he really must love Draco," said Harry.
"Just as I love you," said Angel.
Taking Harry's hand in his and kissing it.
Harry smiled.
Yet Angel still saw the sadness in his green eyes they were now walking up the stairs and this time it took them to the 7th floor.
They stepped off and walked down the corridor where they saw the portrait of the fat lady up ahead Angel stopped Harry and turned to him.
"Goodnight Mr. Potter" said Angel.
Before turning and walking back the way he came.
Harry walked up to the fat lady.
"Password?" she asked.
"Balderdash" said Harry.
The fat lady swung open and Harry walked in afterwards she swung shut.
Harry made his way up the staircase to the boy's dorm room and down to the dorm room he shared with the Neville and Ron. He made his way to his bed curled up under the covers and fell asleep.
Back down on the third floor in the hospital wing Spike still sat by Draco's bed, he had not taken his eyes off Draco's still form.
"Hold on Mr. Malfoy fight it," said Spike.
Reaching out he brushed back Draco's fringe from his eyes. Spike swallowed the lump in his throat, but the tears ran down his face finally it was too much, and he buried his face in Draco's chest begging him to come back.
"Comeback my dragon, do not leave me alone" he sobbed.
