Thanks to all who have been reading my story. i took the advice of some to lengthen my chapters by putting two together. Hope y'all enjoy! Remember: I Do Not Own Harry Potter or the characters, just the plot.
Previously
Snape turned to look at Potter and indeed he saw that Harry had stopped seizing, but he looked dead the way he was laying there so pale and limp. What was he thinking this is Potter!, he shook himself out of his thoughts to see Poppy looking at him with a smile. He snarled at her and walked out with his cloak billowing behind him. Poppy just shook her head and went about healing the various bruises and cuts on Harry and making him comfortable for him to sleep off the seizure. The day went on with Poppy keeping an eye on Harry who was still sleeping and Snape teaching the rest of his classes.
Now
At the end of classes Ron and Hermione burst into Prof. Snape's office and demanded to know where Harry was. Being as Snape is he knew that they would not leave him alone until they got what they wanted. "Would you two calm down and shut it", Snarled Snape, "I will take you to see him in the Hospital Wing, but you will be quiet or your house will lose points." Ron and Hermione just shook their heads as a yes, shocked that Snape didn't take points from them and at the way he was acting. When they arrived at the Hospital Wing they walked in quietly and saw that Harry was sleeping. Poppy greeted them quietly and with a smile, saying that Harry will be good as new by the next day. Ron asked, "What happened to him?". "Well Ron", Poppy answered, "Harry has a muggle condition that I will let him tell you when he is ready". "Is it contagious?" asked Hermione. "No dear", replied Poppy. "Why is he still asleep?", asked Ron. "Weasley, Granger, if you two would please stop blabbing your mouths maybe Poppy can explain what happened" replied Snape with a raised eyebrow. "Fine, but first I want to wake Harry so he could help explain it." replied Poppy.
They walked over to Harry's bed and Poppy called out his name, "Harry, wake up now". Harry stirred a little before opening his eyes to stare blearily at the faces around him. Poppy handed him his glasses while he was sitting up. After he put his glasses on Poppy explained to him what had happened then told him what they were going to talk about. Harry shook his head in understanding but still did not speak. This did not go unnoticed by Hermione, but she didn't say anything. Harry sat there listening while Snape told what had happened while he was in the class and on the way to the Hospital Wing, conveniently leaving out the part that he had carried him part of the way and that he was a little worried for Potter. Poppy then explained what she had done when he arrived at the Wing. Then they turned to look at Ron and Hermione and Poppy asked, "Do both of you have any questions?". "I have many but I will wait to hear Harry's explanation" Hermione said. Ron just stood there with a confused look on his face.
They all turned to look at Harry, and Poppy said, "whenever you are ready Harry you can tell us". Harry hesitated and played uncomfortably played with his blanket. "Harry, please tell us, it wont change anything, right Ron?", said Hermione. "Right mate, tell us" replied Ron. "Okay",said Harry, "I have a condition that happens more in muggles than it does in Wizards. It is called Epilepsy". "What's esples...eplesp...elispsy?" asked Ron. "Its Epilepsy, Ron, and it is caused by the brain misfiring and the result is the body twitching or not responding correctly", Replied Hermione.
"That's correct how did you know?", said a shocked Harry. "My mom has it and the doctors say sooner or later I will have it too" replied Hermione. "Well, this is quite intriguing" said Poppy, "now you have a friend to help you Harry". "Yes, but what if I have another seizure in class again?" replied Harry. "Potter, Have you forgotten that I am a potion master?" cut in Snape. "No, But what can a Potion do that my medicine could not do?" replied Harry. "Harry, you are a wizard and muggle medicine does not always work on a Wizard. So if Severus could find a potion that helps with seizures it might help better than the medicine." replied Poppy. "Okay, I'll give it a try if Professor Snape is willing to try", Harry said while he looked at Professor Snape. Snape nodded his head toward Harry as a yes and walked out of the Hospital wing. Just before he stepped out of the door he said over his shoulder, "Weasley, Granger, dinner is in five minuets you had better hurry if you don't want to be late". Ron looked at his watch and exclaimed, "See ya later Mate, come on Hermione I don't want to miss dinner". "Oh alright Ron, bye Harry!", said Hermione as she was being dragged out of the Wing by Ron. Harry just smiled and waved as they left. After they left he turned to Poppy and asked, "Would it be okay if I went to dinner too?. "Not this time, Harry", said Poppy, "maybe by tomorrow you could leave, but for tonight you will stay in here. I will have your dinner brought here". "Yes ma'am, could I have pumpkin juice with it?" asked Harry. "Of course, Harry, anything else you want?" replied Poppy. "Whatever they are eating for dinner will be fine", replied Harry with a smile. "Alright I'll be back here soon, said Poppy as she went into her office.
About ten minutes later Poppy came back out with a tray full of food and found Harry fast asleep. She hated to wake him up but he needed to eat so she quietly called out, "Harry, time to wake up and eat." Harry groaned and woke up then sat up. When he put on his glasses and saw the food he realized how hungry he really was. As he was eating Poppy asked him if he was feeling alright. "I'm tired and sore but other than that I feel fine" replied Harry. "Okay, well, when you are done eating I want you to take your medicine and this pain relieving potion, then you can sleep" said Poppy, " I will leave them on the table next to your bed". "Thank you", said Harry. Ten minuets later Harry was peacefully sleeping while Poppy cleaned up the food.
Later Snape was pacing his office trying to find a way to tell Harry how he found the potion without revealing his secret. Yes, he thought, the secret that no one but Poppy knew about. The secret he would probably end up telling Harry, which he was not looking forward to it. Snape sat down at his desk and let his thoughts wonder back to when he was in his second year at Hogwarts, when he learned that he had Epilepsy.
He was in his DADA class in the middle of a test when suddenly his body felt weird than he started to shake, just before he blacked out he heard people around him start to talk and whisper. When he woke up he was in the Hospital Wing with Poppy looking down at him with worry. "What happened?" he groaned out as he tried to sit up. "Don't try to get up, Severus", Poppy answered, "You had a seizure and hit your head which gave you a concussion".
"Which of these potions would work?", thought Severus as he was researching in the potion section of the library.
..."finally" He thought, "I found one that works". After so many potions I went through, I finally found one. It was almost to good to be true.
Severus was snapped out of his thoughts by Poppy knocking on his door, with a worried look on her face. "Yes Poppy?" asked Severus. "Are you alright Severus?" She answered back, "I've been calling your name for a couple of minutes". "Yes Poppy, I'm fine, just tired" replied Severus. "Okay well then how is the potion coming along?" Asked Poppy. "I have a good amount stocked up, so I should be fine" replied Severus. "What about Harry?" asked Poppy with a serious look. "I am still figuring out how to tell him" replied Severus, "I will most likely tell him next time I see him". "Good", said Poppy, "Then I will leave you to your thoughts, but I want you to get some rest". "Yes Poppy" replied Severus with a sigh.
