Chapter 6

Three months. That man had been missing for three whole fucking months.

Harry slammed the phone back down onto the receiver, storming his way into the living room. He would call three times every single day, hoping beyond hope that Snape would answer. The brunette ran a hand through his hair, shaking his head when both Sirius and Remus looked over at him expectantly.

"He'll show up soon Harry. Trust me." Sirius stated hopefully. Remus nodded in agreement, moving over so that Harry could plop down beside him,

"It's all my fault. I should have reported that man when he threatened Snape. I should have done something!" Harry shouted. He leaned forward holding his head in his hands. He was tired, both physically and mentally. His body was only acting with the bare minimum of effort.

Harry didn't know when he had come to care so much about the dark-haired psychiatrist. All he knew was that the older man had now become the center of his life at the moment, always on his mind, always weighing on his heart, "What if he's dead like the rest of them? What if…what if Tom has him, and...and he's being tortured because of me?" Harry felt Remus stiffen beside him before two pairs of arms encircled him, whispering comforting thoughts into his ears,

"He's alive, Harry."

"I know that skinny-ass bastard well. Nothing'll wear that man down. He can't die without trying to take me with him." That got Sirius a smack on the back of the head from Remus.

Harry laughed humorlessly, "I guess so."

They all jumped when the cordless started ringing in the other room. Harry scrambled out of their hold and picked up the phone before the second ring, "H-Hello?"

"Hello. This is Deputy-in-Chief Shacklebolt. I would just like to inform you that there has been an update on the investigation involving the disappearance of Severus Snape. If you wouldn't mind-"

Harry cut him off, "Did you find him? Is he alive?"

The voice softened, "I think it would be better if we talked down at the precinct. Can you come down in an hour or so? My boss would like to speak to you personally."

Harry's eyes watered slightly before he brushed the moisture away, already expecting the worst, "A-Alright, we'll be there." He set the phone gently onto the receiver and made his way back into the living room, receding into an impenetrable shell that he had perfected over the last month or so.

Remus and Sirius glanced at each other before prodding him for answers, "…Harry?" they whispered.

Harry sat down onto the couch staring at his hands, "Police station called, wants us to come down. There's been an update." His eyes misted over and he didn't bother to stop them as tears flowed down his cheeks, "He didn't answer me when I asked him if he was alive…"

Remus stood up, walking over to the front door and donning his jacket, "C'mon Harry. We've gotten this far. We can't give up hope now." He tossed Sirius his jacket before putting on his shoes.

SHshSHshSHshSHshSHshSH

Harry stood in front of the Police Station, fretting over whether or not to stay and find out what happened and how he died, or run away, and cling to that self-satisfaction that he wasn't the one who had to id. the body. He was seriously considering the latter of the two.

Sirius noticed and grabbed my elbow, "C'mon." He dragged Harry inside; reminding him of the first time they visited the psychiatric firm. This caused a string of pain to lance through his heart.

The trio walked through the lobby to the reception counter, a fat, balding, cop acknowledging them, "May I help you guys?"

"We got a call from a guy named Shacklebolt? He said to come down for a meeting with the chief." Sirius smiled slightly.

The fat man regarded him closely, "He did, eh? Well, we'll have to see about that. I'll be right back." The man rose out of his chair, the chair creaking its relief, before walking into a back room.

Sirius leaned against the counter, looking over to find a fresh pack of Dunkin' Donuts sitting on the fat officer's desk. He reached down plucking three from the box and handing one to each of his companions, replying to Remus's critical glare, "He doesn't need anymore, trust me. We're adding at least two years onto his life, minimum." He grinned when Remus started eating his doughnut, eating his quickly before the officer decided to come back.

An officer approached them from behind, "Still up to your thieving ways, eh Sirius?"

Sirius and Remus whirled around, "Tonks?"

The pink-haired officer smiled brightly, laughing when Sirius embraced her happily, stating, "Nice to see you again too Sirius!" She looked over at Remus and Harry noticed for a split second that her smiled faltered before returning to full force, "Nice to see you again too, Remy." Remus merely smiled and nodded his agreement.

Tonks pulled away from Sirius, positioning herself in front of Harry and extending her hand, "Nymphadora Tonks at your service, but please, call me Tonks."

Harry smiled shyly and shook her hand quickly before pulling away, "Harry Potter." Tonks' eyes widened in recognition,

"Y-You're the one that…oh, I'm so sorry." She hugged him tightly across the shoulders, before pulling away, placing her hands on his shoulders, "I promise you, Harry. No matter what, I'm gonna catch that bastard, I promise." She smiled before straightening up and looking over her shoulders at the godfathers, motioning with her left hand to follow her, "I'll take you to the chief now. That other guy has been waiting for a while."

She lead them into a white hallway, motioning at each of the doors, "That is the lounge, that one there is the ladies' bathroom, that's the men's, and this one leads to the jail cells. Avoid going in there at all costs, there's some bad people in there that you don't want to be seen affiliated with, and, ah, here we are this is the door to the Chief's office." She knocked on the door, shouting, "Boss, I've brought the kid and his guardians!"

Harry heard a muffled voice before Tonks opened the door and ushered them into the spacious office. His eyes fell on the man sitting in the chair opposite the chief, hatred filling his eyes, "Allen…"

The other male turned his head sharply, surprise, anger, and confusion expressed in his eyes, "Huh…?" He shot up out of his chair, pointing an enraged finger at the brunette while yelling at the chief, "What the hell is he doing here?! I didn't invite him!"

Harry smirked sardonically, "Nice to see you too, asshole." He made his way over to the chair next to Allen and sat down angering the dirty blonde even more. Grey eyes flashed with rage, only taking a step before Tonks intervened, forcing him back into his chair,

"Harry has every right to be here. Unlike you, he's done everything in his power to help this investigation move forward. You showed no interest in whether or not Snape returned to you alive or dead. You should consider yourself grateful that we even called you to begin-" The chief raised his hand, Tonks stopping immediately.

"Thank you, Tonks. Now if you may leave so that we can continue?" His voice remained calm even though Harry detected an underlying hint of annoyance at her little outburst. Harry smiled up at her as she left, silently thanking her for what she said. She gave him a thumbs-up before exiting the office.

The Chief sighed and ran his fingers through his graying hair, "Now as you all know I am Chief Harrison head officer of this precinct-"

Harry interceded, "Is Snape alive? Did you find him?" He stood up, placing his hands on the Chief's desk and staring him straight in the eyes, "I don't need the pleasantries, just tell me what you know. Is. Snape. Alive."

Chief Harrison, waved him back dismissively, "I'm sorry, now please sit back down in your chair, Harry." He waited until Harry complied, "I have some good news and I got some bad news along with it. First off, we have found Severus Snape. He is currently in St. Mungo's Hospital receiving treatment-"

Harry spared a glance in Allen's direction, surprised to see no emotion at all in the man's face. His brows furrowed, Why isn't he happy that Snape's alright? He returned his attention to the Chief,

"-The bad news is that when we found him in the alleyway his body was nearly unrecognizable from all the damage that had been done so you see, he's…uh, well, he's in a coma."

Harry's blood ran cold, A…A coma…? Snape's in a coma? He had to ask, "Do…do you think he'll come out of it?"

The Chief regarded him gravely, "I'm sorry to say but from what the doctors are telling me there's little to no chance that he'll come back. The damage that had been done was numerous and fatal. The doctors are even surprised that he's lived this long already."

Allen finally spoke and what he said made Harry see red, "If there's a great possibility he won't wake up then why don't they just pull the plug?"

The man didn't even have time to react before a fist collided heavily with his face, knocking him out of his chair and onto the floor. Harry pinned him down, green eyes sparkling with rage, "How fucking dare you…! How dare you say that! He's your goddamn lover and that's all you can say?! You don't love him! You don't love him at all! …People like you make me sick…!!" He got back up and backed away quickly; clenching his teeth tightly to keep from doing anything rash, "Stay away from him for now on, Allen. He doesn't need someone like you."

Allen climbed up off the floor, holding his broken and bloody nose in his hands. The look in Allen's eyes made Harry freeze instantly. They were the same, the same as Tom's when he killed Harry's parents, the same iciness that kept Harry up at night, tossing and turning in his bed from fear of the past.

His voice jolted him out of his thoughts, "You love him…You're in love with Severus!" Allen grinned wickedly, blood trailing down his face, "This is just fucking hilarious! A mentally unstable person falling in love with an idiot!" He laughed loudly, a crazed insane kind of laugh, "Well you can have him. I don't know what I was thinking, entertaining a fool like that." He shook his head before looking over at the police chief, "You'll be hearing from my father soon, sir, since I'll be filing charges against you. Good riddance…" He stalked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Sirius and Remus grabbed Harry, preventing him from pursuing Allen. Tonks rushed into the room a couple minutes later, followed closely by another officer, "What happened to that kid? He's dripped blood all over the place!"

The chief shook his head, ignoring Tonk's question while running his fingers roughly through his hair, "Shacklebolt, call the hospital and spread the word that Allen Dunkirk is to go nowhere near Severus Snape's room until further notice."

The senior officer glanced over at Harry before nodding curtly and leaving the room.

Tonks headed over to Harry immediately, looking him over for any signs of injuries, "Did he hurt you?"

Harry moved away, "I'm fine. Don't worry about it." He looked over at his godparents who were eying him questioningly, "Can we go to the hospital? I want to see him."

They glanced at each other before looking at Chief Harrison, "Can Harry visit him even if he's in a coma?"

The Chief shrugged, "You'll have to take that up with the doctor's there. I have no authority over that."

Harry moved to the door instantly, "Let's go then, before visiting hours end." He walked out.. Remus and Sirius followed suit.

Remus rubbed the bridge of his nose, glancing up at Harry's back as he walked a couple feet ahead of him. He whispered to Sirius, "Do you think Allen is right about Harry loving Severus? It would make sense, with the way he's been acting for the past month."

Sirius looked over at Harry as well, "I can actually sorta believe it. I mean, did you see how he reacted to that prick when he said it? He froze. Everything stopped in his mind right then. I'm guessing that Harry just realized it himself." He whispered softly.

They reached the car and Sirius laughed to see Harry tapping his foot impatiently for them to hurry up, "Alright, alright, we're coming! Don't get your panties in a bunch!"

Harry blushed instantly, punching him on the shoulder when he got close enough, "I'm not!"

Remus smiled, happy that Harry was taking the news well. He got in and started the car, waiting for the other two to get into the car with him.

When the two men finally found enough time during their argument session to get in the car, Remus started it up and pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road.

SHshSHshSHshSHshSHshSH

The drive to the hospital was a silent one, everyone deep in thought the whole way.

When they arrived in the Hospital parking lot Harry couldn't stop a shiver of fear from traveling up his spine. What if Snape hated him when he woke up? What if…what if he never woke up again? He shook his head. He couldn't think like that, he needed to be strong.

Harry stepped out of the car, staring at the huge red-lit cross above the sliding glass doors, Please…whoever is watching over his soul right now, please, I beg to you with all my heart, bring him back, bring him back to me...

He walked through the sliding glass doors and into the unknown.
