The Family Ties that Bind
Chapter 13- Severus is Found
In Hogsmeade Hermione and Draco were sitting in a back booth at the Three Broomsticks enjoying a nice afternoon together. Now that Lucius and Pansy were out of the way, they could actually relax for the first time in weeks. It was a beautiful fall day and they were taking complete advantage of it.
“I love you Hermione.” Draco said as he reached over the table and held her hand.
“And I love you Draco. So, we’ve got the date, now the question is whether we have a traditional Wizarding wedding, a muggle one or a mixture of the two. And where we will have the wedding.” Hermione replied.
“Hmmm. Good question. For location we could ask Severus. As for the ceremony itself, I think we should go for a mixture of muggle and Wizard. After all, you were raised as a muggle. I think it would be interesting.” Draco suggested.
Suddenly, Hermione dropped her butterbeer, clutched her chest and gasped. Draco was immediately at her side trying to get her to breath normally.
“Honey, what is it? Talk to me.” Draco pleaded.
“Dad. It’s dad. Something’s wrong. We’ve got to get back. Now!” Hermione gasped.
They threw some money on the table, grabbed their cloaks and bolted from the pub. They yelled back apologies as they ran out of the village and up the path back to the castle. As they neared the grounds, both heard a low almost silent groan coming from a nearby clump of trees. They hurried over to investigate. There was Severus.
“Dad! Daddy can you hear me?” Hermione cried as she knelt beside him.
“Stay with him. I’ll go get the Headmaster. I’ll be as fast as I can.” Draco said then ran as fast as he could for the castle.
“Dad, please answer me. You can’t leave me. Just hang on. Just a little longer. Draco’s gone for help.” Hermione pleaded tearfully.
About five minutes later Draco returned with Albus and Minerva on his heels. Albus and Minerva conjured a stretcher and levitated Severus into the castle. Poppy was waiting when they arrived. Severus was moved from the stretcher and onto a waiting cot. Minerva pulled Hermione and Draco off to the side to wait.
“He’s bad Albus. I’ve never seen him like this before.” Poppy whispered as she and Albus began to work.
“He’s been discovered. Him and I have been expecting this for over a year now. I just hope we’re not too late.” Albus replied.
“Minerva, I want the truth. How bad is he?” Hermione asked.
“I don’t know my dear. I honestly don’t. The severity of this attack can only mean one thing. He’s been discovered as a spy.” Minerva answered gently.
“What does that mean?” Draco asked.
“For Severus, it’s bad. As long as Voldemort still lives, Severus’s life is forfeit and the two of you are in great danger. I’m sure Voldemort already knows about you Hermione. Of course he may not know who you are yet, which let us hope he doesn’t.” Minerva answered.
“So now we wait to see if my father lives or dies?” Hermione asked tearfully.
“I’m afraid so.” Minerva replied as she wrapped her god daughter in a motherly hug.
And so the three sat and waited as Albus and Poppy worked quickly to save Severus. Back in Hogsmeade Ginny, Harry and Ron were heading back to the castle as well. They had seen Hermione and Draco running by as they were coming out of Honeydukes.
“Do you think something’s wrong?” Ginny asked.
“I don’t know. I hope not.” Ron answered.
“It had to have been something. I caught a glimpse of Hermione’s face. She had look of horror on it. Do you think it has to do with Snape?” Harry questioned.
“We’ll find out once we get there.” Ginny replied.
The three sped up their walk. Within five minutes they reached the front doors of the castle. They headed off to find Albus. The first professor they ran into was Professor Flintwick.
“Professor, have you seen the Headmaster?” Ginny asked.
“Yes. He and Professor McGonagall rushed out with Mister Malfoy a little while ago. I thought I saw them return and head for the hospital wing.” Flintwick answered.
“Thanks.” Harry said.
The three hurried for the hospital wing. They entered and found Draco and Minerva hugging Hermione and a curtain pulled around one of the beds. They made their way to Hermione.
“Hermione?” Ron said quietly.
“What’s wrong?” Harry asked.
“Severus has been discovered. Hermione and Draco found him and Draco came to get myself and Albus.” Minerva answered.
Ginny, Ron and Harry walked over to Hermione and hugged her as well. The six sat and waited, and waited, and waited. For over three hours they sat and waited for word on Severus’s condition. Finally, Albus and Poppy walked over.
“Hermione, come with me.” Poppy said gently.
Hermione got to her feet and followed the medi witch into her office. As Hermione and Poppy disappeared into the office, Albus began telling the others the same thing Poppy was telling Hermione. Hermione sat nervously in a chair as Poppy sat behind her desk.
“How is he?” Hermione asked.
“He’s hanging on Hermione. Severus is a fighter and always has been. His condition is bad now. The next twenty four hours are the most critical. If he pulls through that, he’ll pull through. I’m not going to lie to you Hermione. Your father is hanging on to life by his very finger tips. All we can do is hope and pray that he doesn’t give up.” Poppy explained.
“No! I can’t lose him now!” Hermione cried as she buried her face in her hands.
Poppy flew from behind her desk and gathered the sobbing young witch into her arms and began rocking her gently. Outside the others sat there stunned. Draco had his eyes closed trying with all his might to hold back his tears. Harry had a look of pure hate on his face. Ron and Ginny’s faces were blank. Minerva found her voice first.
“Is there anything else we can do to help him pull through?” she asked.
“No. Although, I’m going to speak to Poppy about letting Hermione stay her at his side. Perhaps just having her near him will give him the strength to pull through this ordeal.” Albus answered.
“I don’t even want to think about how Hermione’s feeling now. I mean, she’s just really getting to know Professor Snape for the first time and then that bastard tries to take him away from her.” Ginny said angrily.
“He’s going to pay dearly for this. I’ll make sure of that. Professor Dumbledore, you mentioned something last year about offering me extra training if I wanted it. I want it. I’m going to need all the help I can get. Especially after this.” Harry stated.
“Very well. Give me a week and I’ll have everything arranged for you.” Albus replied.
Just then Hermione and Poppy emerged from the office. Hermione still had tears running down her cheeks. Draco jumped to his feet and ran to her. Hermione threw herself into his arms and began crying once more. No longer holding back. Her legs gave out and her and Draco sank to the floor. All Draco could do was hold her and stroke her hair as she sobbed into his shoulder.
“Poppy, can I speak to you for a moment?” Albus asked.
“Of course.” Poppy answered.
The two walked away from the others.
“Poppy, I suggest you let Hermione stay here with Severus. Her presence may be just enough to get him through the night at least. It’s worth a shot. I believe that she knew he was hurt. Draco said she knew something was wrong with Severus. There’s a bond there. Remember Jocelyn had that same gift.” Albus said.
“I agree. I’ll set up a bed for her. If Draco wishes to stay with her he can. That way she won’t be alone. I will be moving Severus into a private room just incase I get any other patients. We don’t need the students seeing him like that.” Poppy explained.
“Very well. Minerva and I will take the others out and let them come back tomorrow if Severus has improved.” Albus said.
Poppy nodded. Albus and Minerva gathered Ron, Harry and Ginny and led them out. Draco helped Poppy move Severus into a room then helped Hermione to her feet and led her into the room. He knew he was in for a long night and prayed that Severus would draw on their love and strength and pull through and recover. If nothing else, for Hermione’s sake.
