Curse Of Pain

Chapter 46

See? I promised a double update.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco's POV

Everyone stood still. Waiting to see if it had worked.

Though, there was a problem. Harry still laid on the floor writhing in pain. The potion seemed to not have taken affect. That, or it was too late and he was going to die, right here and now.

"Why isn't it working?" I asked loudly. Tears were now forming in the corners of my eyes, threatening to rush down my pale cheeks.

"No, dad!" Teddy and Scorpius, who were released by Hermione, ran to our side and collapsed beside Harry.

"I don't understand!" I screamed. "I must've d-done something wrong, with the p-potion maybe, o-or with the spell." I started panicking, clutching his hand tightly in mine while sobbing. "I'm so sorry, Harry! I don't know what went wrong!"

"It's ok-ay" He tried saying. He squeezed my hand tightly back and used his other one for Teddy to grab. "I-I'm sorry, Teddy. I-I fought. Just wasn't s-strong enough. I love all three of you. Don't ever f-forget that." His voice grew incredibly weak towards the end and he began coughing up more blood, leaning away from us slightly.

"Dad, please. You can't leave me. I-I need you. Who's gonna take me to the H-Hogwarts express for the first time and who's gonna t-tuck me in at night and r-remind me to take a shower? Who's gonna teach me s-spells and to ride a b-broomstick and t-tell me stories. I-I can't do this without you!" Teddy cried loudly.

Harry sobbed loudly at Teddy's questions of a future without him.

"You promised not to leave us. That we were gonna be a family forever." Scorpius had reminded all of us of the day we promised to always be a together.

"No. No, Harry can't go down like this. We did everything right. We must have missed something." Hermione contemplated after falling to the ground crying. Ron comforted her, but he was having a tough time keeping it together. All of us were.

"I had to speed up the potion. If I hadn't then it wouldn't of been done in time. That's what went wrong."

"No. A little speeding up wouldn't cause a potion to have zero affects. It could make it weaker or stronger, yes, but not completely canceling it out. There has to be something else." Hermione tried to reason. "We can't just sit here and let him die. It's not right! Harry deserves better than this!"

"It's okay, 'Mione. You all tried your best, thank you." Harry whispered to them.

"Harry, don't say that. You're not dead yet, we can still do something." Ron stated.

"Someone just help my father, please!" Teddy screamed.

Hermione's head shot up and she stared at me. "Draco. What did your father say about the spell again?" She asked.

I thought back on what my father had told me so long ago when I visited him in Azkaban. "He said I needed two things. The potion and the spell."

"Did he say anything else?" She questioned me.

"Only that the spell would need to be casted by the person who cares the most about Harry."

I froze. That's right. I only assumed that I cared the most about him, but what if it's someone else?

"Teddy. You need to say the spell." I told him urgently.

"What? But I don't have any magical training. I can't do that." He hesitated.

"Teddy, listen to me. All you need to do is say the spell and wish in all of your heart that you want him to get better."

"But what if it's not me? What if I'm not the person to break the spell?"
