Chapter one

No matter what Harry said or did he kept getting surrounded as more and more people turned up upon hearing the news that Voldemort was dead. Harry needed to rest, he needed healing and he needed some air. As he tried to push through, more people moved in front of him, he was being hugged by strangers, he even had people kiss him, people that he didn't know. He felt himself starting to panic as his thoughts drifted to what if one or more of these people wanted to kill him, he would have no chance at trying to fight not with how tight the people were around him. It took what felt like hours, that's what it seemed to Harry before he finally got through a gap and he ran, he ran as fast as he could, outside, down the stone steps and he just kept running until he ended up alone at the back of the damaged castle. Harry was gasping for breath, he was shaking violently and had no idea why, he felt hot and again he had no idea why. He collapsed onto the ground, his back against part of the busted wall, he wrapped his arms around his legs then he started rocking, he was just sitting there rocking back and forth. Every time he moved his back hit hard against the rough stone of the castle.

After speaking with the new minister Kingsley Shacklebolt, Draco Malfoy was released, his mother was going to be placed on house arrest so she was being watched by a man in a long black robe, his father had been bound and taken away within minutes of Voldemort's death. Draco had sat in complete shock when Potter killed the dark lord. Draco always knew Potter's friends believed him, he was the golden boy of Gryffindor, he also knew the staff believed in Potter and if Draco was honest with himself he had hoped Potter could pull off a miracle and he had. He's eyes kept straying to the raven haired hero being surrounded by people thanking him, but he could tell Potter was trying to get away from the hands that grabbed at him. At one time Draco thought he saw panic in the startling green eyes, a few seconds later, Draco definitely saw Potter panic.

As he sat close to his mother he saw more people being brought in, more of the dead, but at one time he saw Hagrid carry in someone in long black robes, they disappeared passed the busted doors and walls. Draco thought those robes belonged to Severus, but he never got a good enough look to make sure.

'Mother, if they take you home before I get back I'll meet you there. I need to see if that was Severus that Hagrid carried in.'

'Alright Draco, please be careful, there are a lot of people still here that might try to harm you.'

'I know, I'll be fine,' Draco kissed his mother's cheek then headed out of the great hall. He looked around and saw a healer going into one of the old classrooms on the bottom floor, so he made his way towards it. He realised that this room was being used as a makeshift hospital, then he saw Severus being tended to by Madame Pomfrey with McGonagall standing beside the bed. Draco could see Severus was awake and talking, but he couldn't hear what was being said. He decided to wait until McGonagall and the matron left before going to speak with Severus. He stood with his back against the wall but gazed around at all the people in the beds. Draco though most looked okay, a bit battered but nothing serious. He thought maybe the most seriously injured had been taken to St Mungo's. It was another twenty minutes before the two women left Severus so he hurried down and sat on the bed.

'Are you alright Severus?'

'Of course, what is going on, is Potter alive?'

'Yes, he ran out of the castle about an hour ago because he kept getting surrounded with people thanking him. He's dead Severus, the dark lord is dead, I saw it but I also felt it,' Draco tapped his arm.

Severus pulled up his sleeve, 'The dark mark is gone, completely gone and that could only happen if he truly was dead. Did Potter kill him or was it someone else?'

'Potter did, at one time we were told he was dead. The dark lord had Hagrid carry him out of the forbidden forest, then he appeared, out of the nowhere. It's over Severus, but what happens with us now?'

'Have they arrested you and your parents?'

'Father was taken straight to Azkaban, mother is being placed under house arrest, I'm free but they will need to question me further. What about you, will they arrest you?'

'I do not think so, I explained to Minerva there is proof that all is not what it seems. She needs to speak with Potter about that.'

'If she can find him, he was being surrounded by people, finally he broke free and ran outside. But Severus, I saw it, just for a second but Potter looked scared and he panicked before he left.'

'In case Minerva can't find him, you go Draco, make sure he is alright. I will explain why I am concerned later, now is not the time.'

'Alright, will you still be here?'

'Poppy said I should stay for at least another couple of hours, so I'll stay unless something happens.'

'I won't be long,' Draco stared down at Severus, 'I wish we were alone.'

'So do I but we are not, we'll have time later, now go.'

Draco nodded and hurried from the castle. He looked around but he never saw Potter, just more people searching for injured or the dead. He's hurried steps moved from one part of the grounds to another, always searching for the dark unruly hair he knew so well. Finally Draco saw Potter, sitting on the ground, rocking back and forth, his arms clamped tight around his knees that were tight to his chest. Draco stood staring down at Potter wondering what was wrong, finally he walked closer until he stood directly in front of him.

'Potter, are you okay?' Draco couldn't believe he just asked Potter that, but he never got a response, 'Potter,' Draco knelt down and finally got a look at his face, it was scared, that's the only way Draco could describe the look on Harry Potter's face, he was scared, but why now, the dark lord was dead, the war was over, Potter should not be scared anymore and even though Draco hated to admit it, Potter never looked scared, even facing the dark lord, 'Potter, can you hear me?' again Draco got no response, but he felt it, like hot sparks and they seem to be emanating from Potter, 'I better get help,' Draco stood then hurried away, but he didn't go to one of Potter's friends, he didn't even go to a teacher, he went back to Severus, he would know what to do. After explaining to Severus what he saw Potter doing, they both slowly walked out of the hospital and out onto the grounds, Severus taking very slow steps, holding his chest as he walked. They rounded the back part of the castle and both men stopped, looking down at Harry Potter and both men stared in stunned silence at what they were seeing.
