Harry could feel the comfortable sensation of Severus' magic coming closer and closer. He knew that Severus was close or even outside the door, it calmed his nerves a bit. Although he was still on edge because of Greyback lingering and hovering above his neck. Harry was helpless to do anything as he had watched Hermione get tortured before his eyes.
If Ron didnt keep his mouth shut as he was then he would be next. Harry hoped Severus would make it before anyone else got tortured. He wondered if Severus ever made it in. The reason he wondered was because the door to the Defense Against the Dark Arts usually squeaked when it opened. Never hearing that made him wondered if Severus had made it in and used his spy skills to sneak into the room.
It was when Draco turned around from standing over Hermione's body. Harry knew that she wasn't dead, because he could still see her breathing from where he was stuck at with a deranged man that was also a werewolf against his neck. There were rumors of Greyback ripping the throats of for less reasons than to torment a person.
When Harry heard Draco speak Harry felt his run cold as coldly as Malfoy was speaking to Severus, "Hello Uncle Severus, I was wondering when you'd come save your precious Potter." Malfoy spat, "Come to kill me, have you?" He asked his uncle. Harry couldn't see Severus reaction, but he also never heard Severus speak either. Harry heard Malfoy call his intended a coward, he tried to struggle away from Greyback. "Thought not, too much of a coward you are Uncle. Here I idolized you for so long, but I was wrong to, wasn't I?" As Harry struggled to try to get free to rip Malfoy apart, Greyback growled low in his throat reminding him that he was there.
It was when Malfoy spoke once more that made Harry stiffen in fear. "Go ahead and bite him, Greyback!" Everything else happened in slow motion there on out for Harry. Harry screamed as the fangs of Greyback ripped into his neck as Greyback shoved Potter away from him to the ground. "Nice meeting, you my sweet." Greyback whispered over him removing the pieces of Potter from his teeth.
It was then when Harry hit the floor it felt warm against his cooling skin, the blood gushing from his neck. He saw Severus hovering over him, he tried to speak but blood filled his mouth causing him to gurgle the blood. Harry listened to Severus try and clean his wound and start to try and heal it.
It was then as Severus cradled his head telling him, "Stay with me Potter, stay with me. I know you've been through worse than this you can fight this Harry don't let death take you. You are more than this." Harry was shaking cold, blood still gushing from his neck. Severus was right that he needed to fight that he had been trough more than enough that e should be able to survive this. He watched Severus look down at him, he could feel his eyes growing heavy weak from the amount blood he had lost even with Severus clotting it. Harry was still weak from what he had lost. "Rest, Harry. But fight." Harry gave Severus a look, with a very week smile.
It was soon after that Severus said that, he felt weak and tired. He heard Severus speaking to someone it sounded like Ron. Not sure what was being said to weak to understand any of it. He heard Severus say that he was taking him to the Infirmary.
Once Severus got Harry to the Infirmary, he yelled for Madame Pomphey, who was shocked to see Potter in such a state when he was laid on the bed, she asked what happened. "Greyback was posing as Professor Tolley. Greyback bit Potter while he was still in human form, but everyone knows that deranged werewolf will force himself to change. Which I believe he transformed his mouth which was positioned at Potter's neck, but Potter also scratches down the arm that's broke in what seems to be in three places." Pomphey got to work right away on.
Severus stepped back to allow the woman some room to work. He walked for awhile, he hadn't even seen Mister Weasley walk past him hold Miss Granger in his arms, as he had exited the Infirmary. He had two students to deal with, but wasn't necessarily in the rightist mind set to deal with them.
Severus felt like he had failed Harry, that there was nothing Severus could do if Harry indeed became a wolf. It made Severus felt sick, that had he not pushed away the feeling of dread almost all of this could have been avoid. He was blaming himself for something that was no more his fault than Harry's. he needed to stop feeling guilty and sorry for himself and find Malfoy Jr, and Greyback and make them pay. Not he was truly outed as a spy, if not just more so as Potter's lover.
Severus finally just slumped against a wall and slid down to think about all the wrong things he had done through his years. Screwing up his friendship with Lily had to be the biggest one, calling her a mudblood. Then later in life it was joining the Death Eaters, in hopes to get something out of it gratification even while he knew it was wrong. Now there was Harry, oh how he had wrong that boy. How Severus could play blind to every sign that his family abused Harry, he was a spy after all. Severus should have noticed that, sure Harry looked like his father and had his mothers eyes. Harry was in all his own person, but very much had his mothers spirit and looks of his father. Which Severus had to admit the James Potter turned out to be rather handsome, but it looked way better on his son.
When he looked up, he saw both Godric and Salazar in front of him. "Severus?" Salazar whispered, Severus looked up looking between them, "What. Do. You. Want?" He asked angrily. It was their fault that Professor 'Tolley' had even been in this school, that Greyback was in-in this school. "We wanted to know how you were doing?" Really they wanted to know how he was doing. "Why didn't you do a more through check?" He asked biting his tongue to keep from everything from exploding at them. "We was running short on time, to find someone." Severus just nodded and said nothing more, he was stopping this pity party he was going to go check on Harry. "We are not pawns!" Severus yelled as he stalking away from Salazar and Godric, with his cloak bellowing behind him.
Once back inside of the Infirmary, he saw Miss Granger sitting up on the bed staring off into space. Whatever Draco had done to the girl, she held her arm tightly to herself. He saw Mister Weasley talking to her, but he didn't really seem to care what was being said.
He needed to check on Harry, he needed to see for himself that Harry was alive. He knew Harry would not be fair, nor anything else at that matter. Severus needed just to see, he was indeed alive. It was always the guilt that haunted Severus, and if something happened to Harry whether it be death or him being turned into a wolf. Severus would forever hold that guilt and would be haunted by such guilt because the man did not know how to forgive himself for past treachery that he had befallen onto him.
Walking towards the drawn curtain around one of the beds, which he assumed would be Potter's. His mind was pleading nearly screaming to hope Harry was still breathing. He heard rustling behind the curtain as he got closer to Harry's bed. "How is he, Poppy?" Severus asked concern riddling his voice. Even though they barely knew one another they were still intended to one another by that Prophecy, and the bracelets already twining their magic closer and closer together.
Poppy had turned to the voice of Severus as he had asked his question about the young charge. "Well I've placed him under a magical coma, because the cursed wound will have to heal on its own." She spoke applying a damp cloth to his head as he was already fighting the infection.
"He still has a ways to go, you did what you knew what to do with the basic training you have. It may have saved him." Severus sighed in some relief, but it was now a wait and see game again. It was after that Poppy spelled dreamless sleep, skele-gro, and a max pain potion into his stomach. She announced that she was going to check on his other patients such as Miss Granger.
Severus had nodded in understanding he knew there was another else that could be done for Harry besides to sit there and wait.
"Oh Potter what am I going to do with you? You'll be the death of me yet." He whispered quietly moving a stray hair that was matting to his intends skin.
Severus was going to sit there for as long as he could, til Poppy ran him off. That as if she could get him ran off, he would stay til Potter woke back up. It would no longer be a secret, and blow his cover and it doesn't matter now all that mattered was his intended and bring the Dark Lord down.
Harry shouldn't go through his alone, by the time Harry woke up would be close to the November full moon. It would tell if Harry was infected with the lycanthropy.
It was then while sitting next to Harry that he heard the the infirmary door slam open. "HARRY!?" Someone must have floo'd or sent an owl to Lupin and Black. Severus stood, "He's over here Lupin." Casting a glance down to Black in his anmagius form.
Severus moved aside to allow them in, when he heard Lupin gasp and a whimper from Black. "What happened?" He heard Lupin ask him. "He was bitten by Greyback, he was polyjuiced as the Defense Against the Dark Arts Preofessor Tolley." He watched as Lupin collapsed into the chair he had been previously sitting in.
Nothing more was said they all just stood around watching Harry. Black was nuzzling against Lupin legs trying to comfort him and himself. It was just a real wait and see game.
Within that month Lupin was asked by the Headmaster to take over the Denfese classes, because there was no one else. Black rarely left Harry's side as did Severus other than to teach his classes. Many were afraid of coming near Harry while he was infirmary besides Ron and Hermione.
Severus eventually found out what happened to Miss Granger. Draco Malfoy had taken a curse knife to the poor girls arm and craved into it 'MUDBLOOD'. She was now more quiet these days, not like her Miss Know It All self. She was still top in everything but she don't try in classes any longer. It was as if she was to scared, or just didnt care.
Harry's wound was fully healed, by the first of November. Even with the magical coma lifted from Harry he hadn't woken yet. Maybe it would take a bit for Harry to come out of it. A week past and Harry still hasn't woken up.
They took turns throughout the night of the next week watching Harry, in case he woke up in the middle of the night. It was by the end of the week of the full moon, Lupin and Black had already gone out to The Shrieking Shack for the first moon. Harry had wolfsbane spelled into his stomach just to be sure in case he did change. Severus sat at his bedside in await of the full moon to hit just outside the Infirmary window.
A/N seeing if Harry changes/wakes up Christmas break. The three months have been up, with everything that happens. Severus wasn't paying attention to the bond and it was slowly becoming unstable.
