Chapter 11-Return to Snapes mistake
On the orders of Dumbledore, Snape had dove into the mind of the Potter brat in his class, not expecting any form of defence in the way of his goals and ignoring the warning of being careful by: Dumbledore, this mistake now had him captured in a domed cage of energy. Once he was caught, Snapes attention was immediately snapped up by the approach of a man in purple ceremonial mage battle robes, wielding a green staff (A.N. Dark Magician people).
Arrogantly, Snape drew his wand and launched a sickly green curse at the mage; the spell was promptly deflected off to the side of the mage. Shocked and pissed that his spell: Avada Kadavra (A.N. when a person uses a curse of any type in a mindscape, the effect is damaging memories, with the Killing Curse however the effect is total mind shattering) was defeated, Snape then tries to shoot again, this time it was the: Cruciartis (SP) curse and it was also flicked away. After the torture curse was thrown, the mage then went on the defensive and threw his staff forward, launching an orb of black energy at Snape.
Snape seeing an unfamiliar spell flying at him, made him raise a shield to protect him but it was useless and once the spell got to the shield, it passed right threw and struck Snape in the chest, causing his entire mental form to scatter. At the same time in the real world, Snape in a fit of blind speed clutched his head in his hands and screamed, before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed in a heap.
Watching his Professor go down, Harry went to his side and went threw the usual medical checks to see if the Professor was alive, finding a pulse in his carotid artery and thinks, 'He is alive, but what happen? The only thing I remember is that sharp pain in my head! Could that have anything to do with it?' as he thought on it, he realized that the Professor needs medical attention.
With the thoughts of his Professor medical needs in his head, Harry executes a perfect firemen's lift and secures his professor on his shoulders. Before turning towards the now shocked students (shocked as Harry was at least half the size of Snape and was able to pick him up easily) and addressed Daphne, "Daphne could you open the door?" snapping the girl from her trance and had her nodding her head in a slight trance.
Once Daphne was out of her trance, she headed to the door with Harry behind her and opened the door to let him out, before Harry left for the medical wing he turned to the class and said, "it would be best if you stay here, I'll meet you back here when I drop off the professor," then he turned around and headed for the medical wing. It was during moments like these, that Harry began to truly be thankful for the rider powers he gains in civilian form, as he effortlessly carries his teacher up and down several flights of stairs, and along long corridors.
(A.N. will explain at the end of the chapter.)
After Harry made his way threw the maze of corridors and stairs, he finally made to where he read the hospital wing was located and seeing with relief that the door was open – as it is hard to open doors with both hands full of dead weight (his rider powers have it so he can barely feel it, but if he removes one hand his balance will be off), though it was a crack, it was still easier to open with a nudge of a foot. So with his left foot, Harry kicks open the door and walks in, inside he smells the smell of work and then calls out, "Excuse me, is anyone here?" and the he says, "I need help."
As if summoned, the nurse matron exited from a door at the back of the room and says, "It is a bit early for a student to be getting-," before trailing off as she takes in the sight of an 11 year old boy with an unconscious Potion Professor perfectly balance on his shoulders, as if it weighed nothing. Barely a minute passed, before the matron then shrieked, "What happened?" before she rushing over to the boy and both together put the professor into a hospital bed as Harry explains, "I don't Madam, the last thing I remember before he collapsed was: a small but sharp pain in my head!" the answer given, however caused the matron to narrow her eyes and think, 'Legilimency? But why would Severus need to perform it on a minor?' as she then looks into the eyes of the boy and thought, 'And Harry Potter at that?'
Disregarding her questions for now, the matron who introduce herself as: Madam Poppy Pomfrey casts several diagnostic charms and all of which revealed that Severus mind was shattered. A while later, Poppy then stopped her spells and turned back to Harry and asked, "Are you okay Mr. Potter, how are your shoulders?" at the matrons question Harry says, "I am okay, just need some water and maybe something for the pain in my head!" she nods and head to the potion cabinet. Once she returned to Harry, she had with her: a bottle of water and a vial of potion and with the instruction of, "take the potion first and then drink the water, because the potion dehydrates you," prompting Harry to knockback potion he was handed and then he exchanged the vial for the water bottle and took a swig of it.
After being dismissed by the matron, as she insisted Harry let her look at his shoulders and only found a mild strain, easily fixable with an application of a massage, Harry returned to the Potions Lab, to find that not one of the Gryffindors – Bar Pavarti, had listened to him and left. Once back in the Class, Harry said to the others, "Since the Professor is unwell, we should just complete the potion and leave it labeled with our names on it, on the teacher's desk," and with that the remainder of class brewed their potions and bottled them in a labeled, with their names.
Meanwhile, Poppy had called Dumbledore to the hospital wing and immediately ripped him a new one, for allowing Severus to use Legilimency on a student, before informing him of the state Severus was now in. Shocked and angered by the dressing down, Dumbledore now moved to the side of Severus bed and waited for Poppy to leave the room. Once Poppy had left the room, Dumbledore then pulled out his 'godlike' wand and cast, "Legilimens," beginning the slow process of rebuilding the mind of his useful minion.
After the long process was finished, Severus mind was rebuilt, but he had not awoken, as Dumbledore had done just enough to repair the scattered mind, but not wake him and then left the hospital wing with Severus now in Poppy's hands. Back with Harry and John (hours later) as the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws had just finished their second class of the day: Transfiguration, and now it was lunch time. So the students head for the great hall for lunch.
After lunch, the Ravenclaws had Potions with Hufflepuff, while the Gryffindors had Herbology with the Slytherins and that meant that the Potters were again separated. Which is now where Harry was, standing between: Tracey and Daphne while they listen to the lecture provided by the plump Professor Sprout, the Head teacher of Hufflepuff.
