Chapter 4
Severus Snape was not dreaming. He was not even slumbering. For him there was a moment of staring into green eyes that were like Lily's, but the crashing realization that it was only Harry filled him in that last moment. And in that last second before his consciousness went black, that knowledge was enough to bring him peace.
It was in that peace that he woke. The peace that he had done his duty. The darkness was past, and the need for his dark mask was no longer hanging over him. His eyes opened to the charmed ceiling of the Great Hall, and a hovering Professor McGonagall... The infernal woman hovered like a mother hen.
"Severus... I'm Sorry..." She tried to get out before, Snape garbled his words and shook his head.
"I should say it, Severus... I should have trusted you." She intoned guilt.
"Albus.... wanted..." He couldn't say anything just yet, his throat burned severely, "Water"
Madam Pomfrey bustled over handing Minerva a glass before tending another poor soul.
Severus tilted his head up just to drink a small sip of the pure liquid. His mind and body seemed to be coming back to him, and he sat up. He flexed his fingers to ensure they were all there, and then felt his toes.
"Harry?" He asked, resigned to know the fate of the boy... So much left unsaid.
"Ron went to look for him. It's over Severus... Voldemort is dead and we won, well we succeeded anyway." She said giving him a sorrowful look.
Neville came running in, panting and heaving.
"Professor..." He said looking directly at Minerva, then his eyes widened and a smile spread across his face as he nodded towards Professor Snape. "Harry... Chamber of Secrets, we can't reach him... a spell of some kind... Draco too."
"Calm down Mr. Longbottom... I can't understand your ramblings." Minerva said as she tried to help the boy by patting his back.
Severus pushed himself up to stand. She glared at him "You need to rest..."
Severus just walked, he couldn't explain it, there was just such an urgent need to see Harry and Draco right now he could not place his finger on it. Neville sensed something was wrong, as he watched his potions professor seem to move on autopilot.
Several of the Hogwarts staff followed them in a large procession, as Neville led the way with Severus close on his heels, and the rest of the staff behind them.
For Severus, it was just a pull strong and hard, unlike any magic he had ever felt before. There was no evil in it, or he would be resisting. It was more a promise of peace that he felt.
Ron and Hermione gaped at the procession that followed Neville upon his return. They visibly shivered though, when their Prior Potions professor seemed to glide right by them and enter the exclusionary semi-circle. His feet seemed to barely touch the soft blue carpet as he too was entranced by the silver mist and succumbed to its powers.
Minerva started casting but could not understand what it was that was going on. Every revealing spell she cast just bounced right back. Several of the staff were also trying. It wasn't until the ghostly shape of Professor Binns glided by them and entered the semi-circle that they just looked stunned.
"It seems Ghost magic is at work here." The ghostly professor relayed.
"I've never heard of ghost magic." Hermione stated.
"Of course not, we do not teach it." Professor Binns illuminated.
There was a high pitched wail that entered the room and everyone turned just in time to watch Fawkes fly in, drop the sorting hat into Professor McGonagall's hands, and then fly away once again.
