Description
Harry gripped Kingsley's hand and allowed the other man to help him up. He grabbed the wall to steady himself and slowly walked out with the former Auror to the next room. They entered, and Harry found Edward lying on the floor, passed out. He hurried as he could to Edward's side and knelt to pick him up and held him. "Edward?" He brushed the copper hair from his lover's face. He has no idea if Edward was alive or not because there were no heartbeats to rely on. He brushed Edward's face and sighed softly, feeling the warmth of the skin. Edward's skin was like his own, marbled with vein lines.

Harry looked up to Kingsley, "What happened to us?"

Kingsley frowned as he watched Harry cradle Edward in his arms delicately. He could see how much Harry cared for the other man. "It's a standard procedure to place a spell to suppress vampire strength on the room. But the thing is, we have not used the spell in hundreds of years, we've never needed to arrest vampire for a very long time and there was not much stated what the spell would do to the vampires, except that it weakens them."

Harry snorted in irritation. "Weaken us? Most likely sap us of our life-force, leaving us near dead. Since we can't die."

Robards popped his head in the doorway, "Sir, the spell has been cancelled. I've reported to the Department of Mysteries to find out what the spell actually do." He glanced to Harry and Edward. "Alright?"

Harry sighed as he sat down on his bottom, pulled Edward entirely into his lap, and cradled him. "It will take us a while to recover. We will need blood to replenish." He glanced down to Edward and saw his lover's eyes fluttering under the lids, relieved that he seems to be responding.

Kingsley nodded. "We will be back shortly." He turned and left, closing the door, and the lock clicked.

Edward's eyes fluttered open. "Harry?"

Harry took in Edward's eyes; the iris and sclera were completely black. "We'll be all right."

"I feel like shit." Edward murmured.

Harry gave a weak chuckle. "Same, love. Same."
