Description
Severus Snape hurried into the hospital wing carrying his favorite student in his arms, he used his foot to kick the door open and then found Madame Palmfrey sitting in a chair, she evidently had no one to tend to at the moment so she was taking a rest.But the moment he burst through the door carrying the bloodied Draco Malfoy in his arms she sprang up from her chair and motioned for him to set him down on one of the beds, which he did so immediately.
"Severus what happened?" She said as she unwrapped some of the cloak revealing his shoulder which was all torn and flayed of some of the flesh.
"I brewed up a reversed wolfsbane potion to get him out of his house where the Dark Lord and Lucius were holding him." Severus answered causing Poppy to look at him like he was crazy.
"Are you mad Severus! You could have killed him, forcing transformation is dangerous!" She cried.
"It was the only way to get him out. He got out of the Malfoy manor with ease, and I followed him as he wandered. But quite a distance from the manor...he ran into Fenrir Greyback." Snape said.
Poppy gasped. "Severus...did he do this?"
"Yes he did. But...Draco killed him." Snape said looking at Draco's face which showed signs of pain as his eyes started to open slowly and Snape looked at him worriedly.
"Draco? It's me. Can you hear me okay?" Severus asked.
Draco looked at him as he tried to turn his neck and he cried out in pain from the injuries on his neck, he took in a sharp gasp of pain and the potions professor put his hands on the young blond's shoulders, to try and calm him down.
"Draco, calm down..." Snape said softly.
"I-It hurts..." Draco cried as he pulled his left arm free of the cloak to touch his shoulder injured shoulder but Snape caught his wrist.
"Don't touch it. You got in a fight with Fenrir Greyback last night...but Draco, you killed him...but he badly injured you. I know it hurts, but you can't touch." the potions teacher said softly.
"I don't like this! I hate this its not fair!" Draco sobbed loudly.
Snape looked to the door when the Headmaster and Lupin came into the hospital wing.
"Severus. How is he?" Dumbledore asked walking over to look at the young man.
"Last night, he got into a fight with Greyback...I had given Draco the potion to help him transform but apparently Greyback carries those type of potions as well, though I do not know who provided him with it." Severus said quietly as he watched Draco writhe in pain as Poppy started to apply some sort of thick potion to the bite marks on his right shoulder.
Draco cried out in pain and started to try and push the medic witch away but his guardian grabbed onto his wrists with a gentle hand and held them tightly so he couldn't accidentally hurt her while she tried to help him.
"Gods it hurts, Stop it! You're hurting me!" Draco cried helplessly.
Professor McGonagall then came in escorting Luna who had a bloody nose, into the hospital wing.
"I want mum! I want Pansy this isn't fair! It hurts!" Draco cried.
Poppy looked up at McGonagall and looked at Luna who had a handkerchief over her nose. "What happened to you dear?" She asked.
"Oh I tripped, I think the Nargles tied my shoe laces together, I was in Divination class and when I stood up I tripped because my shoe laces were tied together, and I hit my nose on the floor." Luna said in her soft voice.
Madame Palmfrey looked up at her and with a flick of her wand her nose stopped bleeding and Luna removed the cloth from her nose, but she didn't leave.
"Now miss Lovegood...could you please get back to class?" the headmaster said.
Luna nodded and was skipped out the door.
Draco let out another cry of pain as Madame Pomfrey applied the potion to Draco's neck wounds.
"Shush...Draco, you're alright." Snape said as gently as he could.
"What happened to Greyback then?" Lupin asked.
"Draco...he killed him." Severus answered.
Lupin's eyes widened in surprise and Dumbledore even looked slightly surprised. Draco suddenly stilled and wailed loudly as Poppy put more of the potion deep into the bite wounds on his body.
"Shush...Draco be quiet." Severus said.
"Sorry dear...this is probably going to scar." Poppy said softly.
Draco wasn't listening he continued to cry loudly, he was in so much pain, it hurt so bad. Draco finely gave up his pulling against Snape's grasp and leaned against the older man as he continued to cry. Severus froze for a second before gently rubbing Draco's back.
"It hurts...it hurts so bad..." Draco sobbed then let out a small hiccup.
"I know Draco, I know...but there's nothing I can do for you. I'm sorry." Snape said softly as he continued to rub his favorite student's back, while Lupin, Dumbledore and Poppy watched with sad eyes. Snape then turned to look at the medic witch and started to speak.
"Are you done applying the anti-necrotic potion?" He asked as he looked at Draco's shoulder.
"Yes. It should prevent infection...now I need to apply a healing material, it should fix and heal the injured flesh and tissues." She said as she pulled out a clear bottle, with a sky blue lotion like substance made form numerous types of healing potions.
"Please! No more potions..." Draco sobbed as she opened the lid to the healing substance that would supposedly heal his injuries.
"Mister Malfoy I need to apply this or you could bleed out if they start bleeding again." Poppy said quietly as she put on some gloves and then put some of the blue potion mixture on her fingers and reached out to touch his neck, but he reached out with one hand and pushed her away in a panic. Severus looked at her with a concerned look.
"Perhaps he'll let me do it. Do you have to do anything else after I apply this?" He asked.
"Well no, but perhaps young mister Malfoy should rest in here afterward, bring him back here when you are done." She said, and was surprised when the potions teacher shook his head.
"I'll keep him rested in my chambers, I think being in here so much is making him nervous." He said taking a glance at Draco who had started to tremble.
"Perhaps you are right Professor Snape. He does look quite pale." Lupin said agreeing with the idea earning a small scowl from the potions professor.
The medic witch gave a frustrated sigh and gave in.
"Okay, but make sure that he takes it easy and doesn't leave your room until he's completely healed. Sadly there will be scars but other than that he should be fine." She said.
Severus nodded and helped Draco stand by pulling him up by the wrists, he moved Draco's hand to the center of the cloak so he could hold onto it so it would stay closed and his personals would stay covered while they walked up to Snape's private room.
Then he slipped one of Draco's arms across his shoulders so he could support the boy as he walked.
~Hogwarts (Near the hallway leading to the Slytherin Dungeons)~
Harry, Luna, and Hermione were walking to potions class which was being taught by Professor Slughorn who was just a substitute for now, when they saw Snape coming down the hallway supporting Draco down the hallway, they were walking slowly taking slow steps as Draco obviously couldn't walk very well.
His face had blood smeared on it and his they could see Snape's black cloak which he usually wore around the castle was off and wrapped around Draco's body, it covered him from the shoulders down to his knees, so they could see his bare legs so far as up to his knees, his skinny slender legs were covered in dark blackish blue bruises, and some that were a dark purple with a small tint of light blue, and he was walking on bare feet.
His right arm was pulled out of the cloak and his hand clutching the cloak were it met to keep it close, they could see he had deep bite marks in that shoulder, and they could also see deep claw marks and bite marks around his neck. And he was trembling violently, he was clearly in a lot of pain.
Draco took a small glance at the three and then looked down avoiding their eyes, he obviously felt embarrassed because they saw him in such a horrible condition.
They watched as Snape and Draco passed them sending them a glare as he did so, then he looked back to Draco who looked ready to faint.
After Snape and Draco disappeared down the hall in the direction to the Slytherin dungeons they froze outside the potions door.
"Oh my god..." Hermione said softly and looked at Harry with a horrified expression.
"Malfoy, he looks in bad shape. But I doubt we should tell anyone what we saw." Harry muttered.
"I think he'll be alright." Luna said as she read her Quibbler magazine.
Harry raised an eyebrow and looked at Hermione but sighed and opened the door and they entered their potions class.
~Malfoy Manor (Dinning Room)~
The dark lord stood staring daggers at Lucius, Bellatrix, and Rodolphus, while all the other death eaters watched waiting to see what would happen to the three death eaters that were in the top ranks.
Voldemort started to speak as he stared directly at Lucius Malfoy. "Lucius this is the second time you have failed me. How can you possibly not keep an eye on that little brat of yours!" The dark wizard growled furiously.
"M-My Lord." Lucius squeaked.
"My Lord?" Voldemort mocked before continuing to glare at the blond. "Is that all you have to say for yourself Lucius?"
"I'm sorry my lord...we tried to stop Draco, but he transformed...and we couldn't stop him." Lucius said shakily.
"You know Lucius..." Voldemort said softly while he traced the edge of the table with a pale finger.
"I should kill you, but seeing you could still be useful to me...I'll just punish you." The dark lord said and aimed his wand at the blond. Lucius lowered his head and waited for what was about to come.
"Crucio!" The evil wizard said and a red light flashed from his wand and Lucius was instantly on the ground screaming in pain under the longest Cruciatus curse he had ever been victim too.
Bellatrix was laughing hysterically until finely the dark lord lifted the curse and looked at her.
"My dear Bella, don't think that just because you are one of my best and most loyal death eaters, that you will be free of punishment.
Bellatrix's laughter ceased and she looked at the dark lord with surprise. "My lord, it wasn't my fault it was these two cockroaches! I tried to alert them but they were too busy Lucius' study to comply!" She shrieked glaring at Lucius and her husband.
"Oh don't worry dear Bella...I don't plan on killing you. You are far too valuable." Voldemort said and aimed his wand at her while Lucius picked himself up off the ground.
"Crucio!" Voldemort said softly and flicked his wand in her direction, again the red light flashed from his wand and Bellatrix screamed in agony as she fell to the ground, her body shook with violent spasms.
Voldemort lifted the curse after three minutes, which seemed like hours to Bellatrix.
Bellatrix lay on the ground panting heavily, her hair now hanging in her face as it had been messed up from her violent shaking caused by the curse.
Voldemort then looked to Rodolphus. "From what I heard, you were the one who tried the hardest to keep young Draco inside the house...therefore I won't kill you...but you still need to be punished." the dark wizard said sharply.
Rodolphus just nodded and waited for what was to come.
"Crucio!"
Rodolphus fell to the ground letting out grunts and small cries of discomfort as the Cruciatus curse was thrown upon his body, but his only lasted for about a minute which surprised him, but he picked himself up off the ground followed by his wife Bellatrix.
"Now I hope you three have learned your lesson...I do not want another failure from you Lucius. Since Greyback and Dolohov are now dead...I want you and some others to find your son and bring him back to me. While you are at it, bring back Harry Potter as well." the pale wizard said firmly.
Lucius looked up at the dark lord with a nervous glance. "Yes my lord."
