Healer James had come directly and was now examining Severus while everyone else waited in the living room. Ginny sat between Fred and George who just sat there in silence; even they didn't knew how to lighter the mood. Hermione sat between Ron and Harry resting her head on Harry's shoulder while he whispered sweet nothings into her ear and Ron just sat there staring. Molly sat next to Arthur holding his hand. Remus sat on the ground staring into the nothing, not believing that one of his best friends might not make it, sure Severus and he had got their differences in the past but they were over it. Sirius had just retired and was making tea feeling bad with himself. And Albus was bearing around the room.
The moment Healer James entered the room everyone looked at him with a silent plea in their eyes, he felt horrible to bring them bad news. Over the years he had given bad news many times it was part of the job, but he never had to give it to one of his best friends. He felt even worse because he knew that everyone in that room needed a break, a break from the ugly and evil time they were living in. He gestured Albus to sit down and took a deep breath before he started to talk.
"Albus do you want me to tell you in private or to make it public?" This caused Albus to close his eyes.
"Make it public everyone has the right to know." He answered after opening his eyes blinking a few times to keep the tears away.
"People I'm sorry to bring you bad news in these times, but I won't lie to you. Lex is in coma a deep one and I'm not sure if he will survive the night." He took a moment to let his words sink in. Hermione started to cry and Harry hugged her close to him hoping it offered her some comfort. Molly broke down again while Arthur tried to comfort her but he knew she saw Lex as one of their own. Remus just sat there crying in silence. And Albus just shook his head wanting to wake up from this nightmare.
"Lex? Who is Lex?" Asked a confused Ron, making Ginny, Fred and George happy because they weren't following the conversation anymore.
"Alexander ´Lex' Daniel Dumbledore better known as Severus Alexander Snape-Prince." Answered Molly with sadness in her voice giving her youngest son a teary smile. "Please James forgive his interruption and go on."
"Thank you Molly. Even if he does recover he won't ever be the same again and will need a lot of time and patience… Albus he was hit by agonia."
"Agonia? But how can that be possible?" Albus asked confused he thought that every book containing that curse had been destroyed many years ago. The rest of the order was even more confused because they had never heard about it.
"I don't know how only that he was hit by it and that it was from Tom's wand. I'm sorry Albus…I can't do more. I will go to Lex now… I will stay with him until you are ready after that I will leave for the day…" He saw how his friend put his head in his hands and signed in defeat; he squeezed Albus shoulder softly and nodded to the rest of the order before leaving the room.
Albus could sense everyone's eyes on him, but didn't lift his head, knowing he would have to explain everything to everyone or to most of them Arthur, Molly, Remus and Hermione knew the first part of what he had to say. He prepared himself for what was about to come and started talking.
"What I'm about to tell you will probably change the way you see me, not that it matters because you will see that I'm only human after all." He took a small pause. "About twenty-six years ago I had a son…a small baby boy of my own… he was the most precious treasure I had he…he was everything to me, but I had and still have enemies: Tom and his followers. I was younger and was so happy that I forgot about that, I….I…I went to the ministry to a reunion and felt him home with the house elf's…" He could not keep on he had started to cry as flashes of that day came back to him and with them the pain it was just too much. Molly came over to where he sat and grabbed one of his hands trying to comfort him because she still remembered how broken he was all those years ago. "Sorry…eghm…when I returned home they had been there everything had been destroyed, the aurors they….they told me there was no evidence that Lex was still alive so they declared him death I… I never believed them I knew he was alive so I kept looking for him. I thought that they would have abandoned Lex and….and that he had been adopted, so when years before Lex should have started school I felt a connection toward Severus I just ignored it and turned my back toward him…. To…toward the evident abuse he suffered both at school and at home I did it until one night I could not do it anymore it…it was that night that I discovered that Severus and Lex where the same person I didn't knew how that was….how that was possible nor why at that moment, but I knew I had to keep him close and I did. It was never my intention to make him a spy it just happened…. He nev…never wanted to be a death eater, a spy or a potions master he wanted to be a healer…a healer…" Albus smilled sadly and dried his tears he knew there was more to tell more details but he wasn't ready to talk more about it he still felt the guilt of failing his own son. Harry sensed that Albus felt guilty for what had happened, finding the need to comfort the man he started talking.
"Professor Dumbledore sir it wasn't your fault it isn't and it has never been… You made mistakes sure, but you never have intentionally hurt Severus, Lex, Snape or whatever he likes to be called. What I'm trying to tell you sir is that you should not blame yourself. I have known your son for about 6 years and I had the opportunity to get to know him better this past year…." He took a small pause to order his thoughts. "He is a good man: he isn't the friendliest person I have had the pleasure to know but once you see deeper than his cold, sarcastic and sometimes rude attitude that he uses to protect himself you will see something wonderful, he is the best sort of friend someone can have and he is loyal, kind, honest, funny…he is a genius and he is incredibly protective of those who are important to him, he is also very stubborn once he has something between his ears there is no way to get it out of him….. I admire him for many reasons but what I admire most of all is that he gives everything up and never expects anything in return he is so selfless…." Harry smiled a little before continuing "Believe me when I tell you that I have wanted to hit some egoism into him, it doesn't matter what people think of him he is the better man and…. We never give him the respect, admiration and love he deserves, but he never spit it out in our faces….. I'm sure he doesn't blame you for anything." This confused Albus he would have sworn that the youngest members of the order would be disappointed in him but here was Harry trying to comfort him.
"Harry is right Albus, we all made mistakes in our past some big ones some smaller ones, but that doesn't matter we all made them and will make more in the future… the important thing is to learn from them. Don't look for forgiveness in us there is nothing to forgive from our side and I know Severus has forgiven you a long time ago…. You have made mistakes but you are only human as you said and you are a lucky one you…you have a wonderful son and we, as in the order, will be there for you and him along this road no matter what." Remus words were said slowly and everyone could see he was still having trouble processing the events. Ginny, Ron, Fred, George and even Arthur nodded in agreement of what the werewolf had just said.
"Even if I hate to admit it Harry and Moony are right Sniv…Severus is one of ours he has showed that many times and I'm pretty sure that he is the best one here. I only hope I get the chance to apologize for being such a…." Sirius was interrupted by Fred and George.
"Bastard?"
"Dork?"
"Imbecile?"
"Ass?"
"Thank you boys I had thought something more along the lines of Insufferable-Know-It-All or big Dunderhead but those also sound good."Answered Sirius half joking, because he was serious about what he said.
"He is the snake of snakes as he likes to say but with the heart of a lion." Came Hermione's muffed voice from somewhere between Harry's neck and shoulder.
"Yes Hermione dear he is… thank you all my friends for your kind words is such a hard time. But right now I must explain you what agonia is and what it does… "
A/N: I really Hope you liked it….please review….please….pretty please….. I 'm begging you.
