The two of them felt like they had been walking for hours, especially with how slow they were going. Percy's leg was still bleeding but he could keep going if he needed to.

But they stopped when they found a familiar boy in the path glasses skewed and bleeding from his scar.

"Harry!" Percy yelled out and nearly toppled him and Draco when he tried to run forward. But luckily Draco was just as adamant to getting to the boy as Percy was. "Set me down Draco, we should be fine, the fires are long behind us and seem to be dying out."

The Malfoy did so reluctantly but, he did. He set Percy on a burned tree and then went to Harry checking him over before dragging him over to Percy. "He seems fine, but I think something happened with the scar again. You know how he gets pain there sometimes? I think, with the Death Eater attack that it caused something to happen and he passed out."

Percy sighs in relief as he looked at his older brother with a frown. "At least it's just that. A potion from Sev will help with the side effects." Percy hissed when he tried to move a little and was given a glare by Draco who sat beside him. He only nervously chuckled at him before moving his hand to mess with his beaded necklace, playing with the diamond bead mostly.

Draco sighed before he wrapped an arm around Percy. "Sleep, you need it." He said. "I'll keep watch for anything, okay?"

Percy for a second was going to disagree and argue but then, a little voice inside him told him he could trust Draco with the task, as well as trust that he wouldn't be hurt behind his back if he wasn't watching him. So with a sigh, he let his head fall onto Draco's shoulder, closing his eyes to the world.

The boy looked at the mess of soot filled black hair and smiled a bit before flipping his wand out and twirling it as he waited. Waited for someone to find them, and he hoped they were the good guys.

*****

Severus searched everywhere, hiding from the other Death Eaters as he looked high and low for the two boys that were out in the mess of ash and cindering wood. He found Hermione and Ron, two kids, but not the ones he needed to find.

"Are you sure they aren't with the rest of the survivors?" He asked Hermione who lifted some material with a charm spell.

"Yes I'm pretty sure, I searched all around for you all. So I decided to come out here, Ron following because he was worried as well. Then we found you." She said her frown deepening. "I sure hope they're okay." She said quietly.

Severus didn't say a thing after that, only felt dread come to him as his thoughts turned for the worst.

"Over there!!" Ron yelled as he pointed to some silhouettes sitting down and another standing.

Harry groaned as he woke, his head pounding as he looked up at the Death mark, now dulled as the magic started to leave it.

"Nice to see your awake." Draco drawled with a frown.

The green eyed boy stared in shock before he glared at the boy. "What the hell?!? What were you guys doing out of bed anyway by the way?! Your mother was crying!" He yelled at Draco but winced again as he sat up, bringing a hand up to his scar. "Dangit..."

"We didn't know Death Eaters were going to attack. We didn't mean to stay out either, but neither of us could sleep." Draco pursed his lips in a near pout as he looked away but didn't move as Percy was still sleep on his shoulder, looking a bit pale, more so then before. But he was still breathing, and his leg had stopped bleeding.

Harry frowned as he looked at his brother and then to his leg to see the silk blue robe that was left for him by Daisy had been ripped to bandage the wound. "What happened?" He asked being careful not to wake his brother as he seemed to need it.

"Explosion near us, we were lucky actually. But one of the stakes had come out of the ground and decided to make a home in his leg." Draco sighed softly as he glanced at the wound before twirling his wand. "What are you even doing out here?"

"I came out here to get you guys." He said crossing his arms as he stood.

"Yeah, said the one we found on the ground passed out." Draco rolled his eyes.

Before Harry could snark back, Draco was staring out in front of them so he turned to see a male in dark robes glaring out at them, lifting an arm that held a wand at them. Draco was about to put up a shield but then he heard their names, and looked over to see three people behind them start running over and when he looked back the man was gone, both he and Harry looked at each other with a frown at this.

"Percy! Draco!" Severus said as he ran up to them before frowning. "Harry?! What, why aren't you with your mother?" He yelled at the boy with a headache.

Percy winced as he finally woke, his own head felt light as he looked up to see Harry looking away with a passive face and Severus looking exasperated. "Can we go home?" He asked as he shifted to hold his own head and winced at the creak in his neck.

Severus turned to lecture him when he noticed his leg and frowned. "Come on, I can't apperate all of you, so we're going to get some of the Aurors to help get us to Saint Mungos." He said as he lifted Percy up into his arms, the boy wincing as his leg was moved. Before he settled into the strong arms of his mother's boyfriend.

"It should be quick Percy don't worry." Hermione reassured as she smiles at the boy.

Ron nodded to what she said. "Yep, don't worry mate, you'll be as good as new once they heal you up."

Percy smiles. "Don't worry guys, if I held out this long, I'm sure I'll be fine. Let's, let's just get home."

"Agreed." Said the 4 behind him as Severus carried him forward.

*****

When Percy came to, not really knowing when he fell asleep he looked around the familiar like room, a hospital room. He sighed as he pouted at his predicament.

But at least everyone was safe. Though he didn't do much. For some reason he got the slightest idea that they weren't there to kill anyone really, maybe one, but they did cause a lot of chaos and he wondered why would Voldemort decide to do that then? Is he trying to say he's alive or is it something else?

Sighing he let that drop from his mind as his mother walked in, her hair up in a messy bun and her face worn with worry.

"I'm sorry." Percy immediately said looking at his mother with guilt.

She startled a little but smiled at him. "I'm glad your awake, how are you feeling?" She asked as she came over and sat on his hospital bed.

"Um, a little sore in the lungs and leg, but I'm fine." Percy said as he looked up at his mother and he couldn't help but smile as she looked at him with that motherly look in her eyes that made him feel warm and protected.

Lily smiled and kissed his forehead. "Good, now why exactly were you out of bed anyway?" She asked going stern.

"Aha, you see I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to bother you guys so I decided to go outside to get some fresh air. When Draco came up to me. We then decided to go dance like everyone else till we got tired. So we fell asleep. We only woke when they started attacking." He told her playing with his fingers, a blush coming to his face as he remembered the kiss they shared.

With a raised brow Lily hummed, a smirk playing at her lips before she sighed again and smiled at him. "Well, now that your awake, we can head home whenever you want. Doctor says not to walk on your leg for at least another day but after that to be careful. I'll get Severus to carry you. Okay?" She asked as she played with his hair.

"I would like to leave immediately." He said, not caring that he'd have to be carried and stuck in bed. At least it was better then being stuck in a hospital.

Lily laughed as she stood. "I thought so."

Percy smiled at her laughing himself, he watched her leave and he sat there for a moment before leaning back and relaxing, for some reason, he felt....relief. About his summer and about what happened at the game.

He felt...that he was being a little...to sad. He knew he needed to get better and he would, and he would quickly.
