The Final Stand

Survive. For Me. - 17

Harry walked with the man, a bugging device hidden in his pocket, right against his thumping heart. Down the corridors they went and down sets of stairs. Past doors and passage ways. Paintings that were still.

"So Mr Potter." The man looked down at Harry who stayed quite.  A muggle thought Harry. This man is a muggle. Though this thought didnt change much. "As much as we loved your stay here I'm afraid it's time that you leave. In fact leave this whole world. "

It happened so fast. The man opened a door behind Harry and quickly kicked him behind him. Harry knocked his head on the back wall of the cell like room and fell to the flooor unconscious.

Next when he woke up he found a dagger in his stomach and blood all over the floor.

"Kreacher!" It was bearly a whisper but yet the elf still came with the slightest pop. And then Harry slipped through conciousness again praying that he could make it to see Ginny's beautiful Hazel eyes once more.

"Weasley. Good your here."

"Robards, hello. What happened?" Asked Ron immediately.

"We're not sure yet. We need you to be stationed at St Mungos with Hana though because Kreacher has been told to take Harry there straight away. Also for security."

"Got it." Ron instantly ran through the fireplace, spinning from sight.

As Ron stepped out into the emergency area at St mungos a Healer ran up to him.

"Aurour? This way. Quickly." The Healer dashed though the halls with Ron not far behind. They stopped infront of a door.

"We need you to identify that this is Harry Potter." Said Ron glancing throught he window and trying not to wince. Turning his head away from the horrid sight he saw Hana already questioning Kreacher. "Blood preferably. We need DNA authentication before we put the ministries protection behind this person."

"Already done." Replied the Healer. She glanced at her clipboard. "This is Harry Potter. But there's something wrong with his blood so we need to run some more tests."

"Okay thanks. And I know it's soon, but what are the results for the injury analysis."

"Well like I said before there was something up with the blood test. It could be a poisin that was inflicted. We're not sure yet though so nothing can be certain. And when he arrived there was a dagger in his stomach which has obviously punctured some of his organs. He has a concussion and minor brain swelling, which has already be fixed. Now we just have to see whether he wakes up or not."

"Thanks alot." However this didn't relieve Ron of any stress what so ever. And so he went to sit next to Hana, who was still talking to Kreacher and started to right a letter.

- Dear Mione, and probably Ginny as well,

Harry's not alright but he will be, I promise. Don't freak out yet. And stay at Hogwarts. Harry would want you to not freak out. At least I think that that's what he would want. Hard to say at the moment. No one's going to be discussing anything with him anytime soon. Anyways I'll skip the details but Harry's in a coma and as always, lucky to be alive. In fact if all his organs work properly when he wakes up it'll be a miracle. He got stabbed by the way. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Well you'll find out eventually either way. And Harry told me that he knew he might not make it. It's just something that we have to accept.

I love you both but remember that you need to stay safe at Hogwarts. I can't loose either of you. Not now.

Ron. -

Ginny finished reading and fell down onto her knees next to Hermione, sobbing.

"I- I can't deal with this any more. When will he learn that getting himself k- k-killed is no use to anyone. When will he realise that he's torturing the people that love him." Ginny cried through sobs.

Hermione just looked up at Ginny shaking her head, tears still staining her puffy cheeks and Luna pulled them both into a hug.

"Ginny? Gin. What question are you on you on? What did you put for question 5?" Hermione asked leaning over to glance at Ginny's work, frowning slightly. It was 4 days since Harry returned and they still had no more news about his condition.

"Oh I'm only on question 2. What are you up to?"
Ginny asked, already braced to be blown away at Hermione's genius mind.

"Question 10."

"What do you mean question 10? We started completing the questions 5 minutes ago." Hissed Ginny. "It's not like I can focus anyways. Plus I don't need NEWTs for my profession."

"Yeah but you haven't gotten the acceptance letters yet." Hermione pestered. She had always encouraged everyone to do school work.

"Oh really?" Said Ginny raising an eyebrows.

"No way."

"Yes way. I've been accepted into 3 clubs!" Squealed Ginny. She couldn't wait to tell Harry-

"Whens he going to wake up?"

"I'm sorry Mr Weasley but there's no way we can tell. From all the information we have his body could regaining strength from trauma." Ron looked around the corridor at St mungos agitatedly. He was standing outside of Harry's room. Tomorrow the girls would be coming home for Easter holidays.

"Well then why didn't he go down last time he was here?" Questioned Ron.

"We can't know that." Replied the Healer. She was a head under Ron and had Mousy brown hair. Her face showed that he was starting to get frustrated.

"Weasley calm down." Ron turned towards Hana, who was helping him get an update on Harry.

"Sorry I'm just-"

"I get it. But we need to focus. Healer Mikels what did you discover. If I remember correctly you found something urgent?" Hana's voice was clear and powerful. She was getting annoyed at Ron and wanted Harry back as her partner.

"Right. Follow me." She turned and walked down the corridor, twisting and turning down different halls until they ended up in an office. "Sit. Now we found something in his respiratory system whilst we were checking all his organs. I had a talk to the department of mysteries about what it was that the Brats had and it turns out that it's this magical aiding tool that turns the particles of magic, wich have different atomic patterns than general non-magic items. For example water particles and a potion particles would act completely different. Well this tool, it aids wizards to be able to put magic into the air particles. And it just so happens that the Brats did this to Harry but with poisin. We don't know what kind yet, and we're still figuring out how to retract it from his body."

"Wait does this mean that he'll die?" Asked Ron, scared

"Not necessarily. Most poisons will ruin his health and if not treated soon enough or properly then it can be fatal. But other poisons, rare but still out their can cut the line of Magical connection in a person. Now we just need to make sure that Mr Potter crosses neither lines. If all goes well then he'll be awake before autumn."

"Autumn?" Blurted Hana shocked. "So at least 6 months?"

"Well we have to take into account the fact that if the posin has started to dig its self into His cells then it could leave Mr Potter with life long complications."

Hana sighed and Ron let out a long, low whistle. The journey that Harry was about embark upon was most definitely not going to be easy.
