Mother Magic's visit

Tom paced outside their bedroom while Burns and Severus tried to fix Harry and stop him from bleeding to death.

"Oh look what I've done now!" he said to himself.

He conjured a chair surprised he still had his magic, when Mother Magic appeared.

Tom gasped and looked at her amazed.

"Tom, what is wrong? You love each other, it was one thing. Why would you attack him like that? He had his wand the first time and could protect himself. It was to show them a real duel which was to help the group you had there, but this? Why?" she asked.

He looked at her and said with watering eyes,

"I, I don't know! It just slipped out! For so many years we were enemies and I was the bad guy, I couldn't control myself! JUST DO IT MOTHER MAGIC! TAKE MY MAGIC, I CLEARLY CAN NOT CONTROL IT THE WAY I NEED TO STILL! END IT!" Tom said with a sniffle.

"No." she answered back. "Wha- what did you say?" Tom asked surprised.

"I am not taking your magic away. I am giving you another chance with it. Another chance to work on your temper and to control your magic the way you need to. All you need Tom is a little bit of help. And with a mixture of the love, support, and skill of magic and it's causes given to you by Harry, you should be able to fix this." Mother Magic said.

After she had left the door opened and broke Tom's train of thought. He looked over and saw Severus looking worried.

"My Lord, Healer Burns would like to see you for a moment."

So he got up and headed into the room and looked at his Harry, unconscious, a muggle IV type object tied to him, he looked awful!

"My Lord?" Burns said bringing Tom back to the real world.

Tom turned his head and looked at him.

"Is he going to be alright?" he asked concerned.

"Yes, he's going to be fine. But I don't want him out of bed, using magic or anything when he wakes up. He will be weak, and may have a bit of a trouble remembering where he is, who everyone is, and such." Burns said.

"Can I stay, or do I need to leave?" Tom asked.

"Oh no My Lord, you can stay with him. As for the kids, I hate to say it but you may want to keep them away just for a bit." he said.

Tom nodded his head. He thanked Healer Burns and dismissed him.

Before they knew it it had been a week and Harry still hadn't woken up. Everyone was getting more and more worried as the days went on. Tom hadn't been able to sleep at all from being so worried. He wouldn't go down to meals, work, or even leave Harry's side.

"My Lord, you need to sleep and eat like everyone else in the manor does, please!" Burns pleaded.

"NO! I'M NOT LEAVING!" Tom exclaimed.

"Would Master Tom like Missy to bring dinner up to him so he no leave room?" Missy asked.

"That sounds like a great idea missy! Will that work for you My Lord?" Burns asked.

He nodded his head and Missy disappeared with a crack.

When she came back she had a plate filled with chicken, corn, and all kinds of good stuff for him to eat. She had brought him some iced water as well. After he had eaten he took an extremely quick nap so that he had gotten some sleep.

The next day Tom was sitting by Harry holding his hand, when he felt something. Was Harry awake? Was he finally coming back after nearly two weeks? He leaned over a bit to see. Then, with a big smile on his face he saw two beautiful emerald green eyes looking up at him. Tom didn't want to move, luckily Lucius was walking by and he told him to get Burns. Burns flew into the room to see what was wrong. When he saw Tom's face and Harry's eyes opened he was relieved and happy that he was alright.

"Ok Little Lord, let's take a look at you and see how you're doing." Burns said with a smile.
