Harry and Andre lay on the floor, Albus had tried to kill Harry, but he had failed. He was the source of Albus' downfall, why Severus came after him, he should have to die for it. Andre had proven just how much he loved Harry, and became another one to die for him. First Lily and James, then Sirius, and now his first boyfriend. Severus looked at the young man, who saved his son, and his heart was aching.

Severus knelt as his son began coming around, Andre having been lifted off of him. Moody had the young boy put on a stretcher, and word would be sent to France, he promised. Severus knew the family had known the danger, but the death of their son would be hard news to deliver to them.

Harry groaned as he opened his eyes. "Dad what happened?"

Severus put his son up against pillows. "How are you feeling first Harry?"

Harry knew his dad too well, and looked around, remembering Andre. Before any one could stop him, he saw the body lying there. He didn't need to be told, he knew the green light all too well, and he knew Andre was dead. His entire world seemed to shatter around him.

His dad held him. "I am so sorry Harry, I am so sorry. He is gone."

Harry clung to his dad. "Why dad, why did he have to die? I loved him, loved him so much."

Having no words to comfort his son, how to explain such a pointless death, he just held Harry. He had felt the desperation when he rescued Harry, when his son had hated him, but it was nothing like this. He knew the pain, when he was told Lily had been killed, even when he believed she had betrayed him. This was different, his son was so young, and Andre had died protecting him. He knew his son was still plagued with the guilt for the others who had died for him before. This pain would be the worst, and Severus had no idea how to help.

Remus shared a look, barely in better shape, both would be there for Harry through this, both ashamed to be grateful that it was not Harry lying dead. They both knew that Harry would need them more then ever, and Severus was simply grateful his son had let him in finally.

Moody spoke up. "I am sorry to do this, but Harry and you will have to come to the ministry. You will need to make a statement."

Harry was the one who spoke. "I will come. I want the man to pay for all of this."

Lucius assured his dads as they went that this would be fast, Madam Bones would not keep Harry any longer then needed, after what he had been through. Harry was holding it together since the first out burst, and it worried his dad, Harry was always so emotional. The only sign of how upset he was, was the vice like grip he kept on his dad and Uncle, as he was led into the ministry, they wishing they could spare him this right now.

Amelia was shaken by this, anyone would be, Albus had been the leader of the light. She was not a mother, but she ached for Harry, and she proceeded as quick as she could through it. She knew that Harry needed to be home, she could only imagine what he was feeling right now.

Severus finally cut to the end of it. "I assume you have all you need from us."

Amelia nodded. "The trial will be in two or three days time. Take your son home."

Harry barely registered as his dad and Uncles led him from the room, they took him to Malfoy Manor, knowing he would need all the support he could get through this. It took some help from Narcissa, but Severus got his son to take a sleeping potion, he was going into shock from all of this. When his son was in bed, Severus returned down to the den, where the others were waiting, and they had some news as well.

Lucius sighed. "The twins will bring Draco in the morning, and the Deveraux family will come then as well. None were in any shape to travel tonight."

Severus was grateful. "My son will need Draco and the twins through the next few days."

The fact that Harry had been so calm, except when he first was told, bothered them all. They knew he was lost in the pain, his mind was in shock, and it would all hit him soon enough. The trial and the funeral would be rough on him, and he would need every bit of comfort, and support he could get.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Harry had not spoken, or eaten, he refused to even consider any food. He sat alone the next morning, in the window seat in the den, and he would allow no physical contact, with anyone, even his dad. When he had been rescued that summer, he had withdrawn from his dad, but he had always allowed comfort from Remus, but not this time. Harry's eyes were so blank, and he even refused to shed a tear, and he was really scaring those who loved him.

Draco and Andre's family arrived, they would be staying at the manor, during the trial. Their son had been sent home to France, where there would be a funeral, when this was all over. They not only wanted to be here to see justice for their son, but they wanted to be here for Harry as well.

Severus went to the couple. "I am so sorry we could not protect him. I would have done anything for your son."

Claude shook his head. "Our son knew the risk, and we were not surprised he died for Harry, he loved him so much."

The couple did not say, but Andre had told his dad he was thinking of proposing to Harry by the fall. He knew it was quick, they had known each other for less then a year, but he had known he wanted to spend his life with him, have kids with him. They didn't think such a revelation would help Harry right now, in the pain he was in.

Andre's mom walked over to Harry and kissed him on the head. "We don't blame you Harry, you have to know that. Our son loved you so much."

Harry spoke for the first time. "I am so sorry your son died for me. I'm sorry."

The woman took Harry into her arms, and promised he was not to blame, the man who killed her son was. They had come to care deeply for Harry, and they would not have him blaming himself for their son's death, as they knew Andre would not either. Andre chose to die for Harry, to save the man he loved.

Draco sat down with Harry. "You know we are all here for you Harry. You're not alone, I promise."
