Albus was sitting behind his desk; waiting for news to come from Hagrid. Every night after dinner and at midnight, Albus wanted Hagrid to look for his missing boy. Severus had been missing for three weeks now. He had been summoned and had not returned. Albus thought he was just doing something for Voldemort that took this long. But the only things Voldemort wanted him to do was "spy" on Dumbledore and make potions. Albus froze remembering that Severus had to make Voldemort a new potion. Severus had never told him what the potion did; he was summoned right after it was finished. Again that had been three weeks ago. Albus' next thought was Voldemort knew he was spying had him make a potion that would be used to tourter him. Albus was brought out of his muse when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." Albus called.

"Ello 'Eadmaster. How 're ya?" Hagrid asked

'Im fine. Im still-" Albus cut off when he saw the blood on Hagrid's hands. "Whose blood is that?" Albus demanded.

"Oh well-uh...ya see-" Hagrid stammered. "Whose blood is it!" Albus yelled. "Professor Snape's!" Hagrid yelled and Albus paled.

"I-is he o-okay?"

"Madame Pomfrey is patching 'em up, she says there is something wrong with 'em." Hagrid said. "He was covered in blood. She says theres something wrong with his insides."

Albus ran out of his office and down to the hospital wing. Something was wrong with his child. He reached the hospital wing in record time. When he entered he saw Poppy standing over Severus; looking very worried. Albus saw Severus was having a seizure; he was alarmed when he saw blood pouring out of his mouth and nose.

"Poppy! Whats happeneing!" Albus cried as he ran towards them.

"Im not sure. Hagrid brought him in and left to get you. So I started to clean his wounds and then this happened!"

"How long has he been like this?" Albus asked concered for Severus' health.

"About one minute. I dont understand; he's never had seizures before and I've never seen one this intense." Poppy said.

Albus watched his child have this seizure for another minute or so. Severus kept moaning and Albus was upset because he cold hold Severus and tell him everything was going to be okay. Truth was, he didnt know if everything was going to be okay; he'd never seen anything like this before or known Severus to have seizures. When Snape finally calmed down, both Poppy and Albus ran over to him. Pomfrey was rebandageing his injuries and trying to find the cause of the seizure.

"It's okay Severus. You're alright, child. You're safe now; you are at Hogwarts with Poppy and Albus." Severus finally got his breathing back undercontrol and opened his eyes. Being met with the bright lights of the hospital wing, he quickly closed them. Albus mummered a spell to turn down the lights and said, "Severus, my boy, can you tell me what happened?"

Snape searched his mind to figure out what had happened to him; the only thing he could remember was taking a potion. THE POTION! Oh no, what was he going to do? He couldnt tell Albus about it. But he couldnt stop himself from telling Albus and Poppy. "P-p-pot-ion." Severus croaked.

"Potion. What did you take?" asked Albus frightened. "I-I-I h-had t-to...m-ma-make i-it."

"Okay, okay. Severus, it'll be alright. If you can tell us what the cure is we can go and get it." Albus tried to keep his fear from growing.

"Th-there is n-no cure." Severus started to cough; Poppy conjured a glass of water and held it to Severus' mouth "Slowly, you do not want to shock your system." Poppy said.

"What does the potion do? You said you created it, right?" asked Albus.

"Yes, I did create it." Snape's voice was slurred because he was falling asleep. "The potion slowly kills the drinker by tearing the insides apart, thats why I am having the seizures, my insides are toren apart during them." Albus and Poppy looked at each other with horrified looks.

"Okay, Severus. You should try and rest for a while." Severus sighed and fell asleep.

"Albus, what are we going to do?" Poppy asked with tears in her eyes. "I dont know, but I dont want to lose him. He shouldnt even go back to teaching. We never know when these attacks will happen." Albus said, storaking Severus' hair.

"If we find out the ingredants he used then we could try and make a cure."

"This is a potion he made." Albus looked at Poppy; his own tears falling down his face. "If he says there is no cure; there will be none unless he makes one. Besides I do not think he will even be able to brew."

"These seizures will kill him soon. Unless we find a way to stop them or slow them down." Poppy said. "Go tell the staff. I will stay with him." Albus nodded and left.
