Drabble 10: He'll Make It
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, JKR does. Once again written for gameofcards challenge at lj.
Professor Snape did not expect his ward, Harry Potter to get hurt. Out of all the stupid things that dunderhead ward did was to fall during the game. He told Harry many times not to do reckless acts but his ward tended to not think with his brain.
He ran from the Quidditch pitch to the hospital ward. He knows that thinking that Harry Potter won't make it irrational, but he's worried. He keeps walking back and forth waiting from the new from Madame Pomfrey or at least knows which potions his ward needs to take.
Madame Pomfrey walks up to him to let him know that Harry Potter will make it. Professor Snape stops walking back and forth and takes Harry's hand to squeeze it while watching him.
Later on, Madame Pomfrey will close the curtains to give some privacy to the two people and Albus Dumbledore will walk up to see his potions professor sleeping next to Harry while holding his hand.
No one else needs to know the truth, but Albus clearly sees how much Professor Snape cares for Harry Potter. Even if Professor Snape would deny that to his face.
