Just When I Needed You, HP.

I do not own Harry Potter, JKR does.

Monday night, nearing Tuesday morning.

"Poppy, are you still awake?" Severus asked as he walked into the infirmary.

"No, I am fast asleep," she said sarcastically, not bothering to look back at the man, "is there something you need at this time of night?"

"If you were looking, you'd realise that I do." Severus spat.

Poppy scoffed and swivelled round on her chair. She gasped at the sight of the unconscious, raven-haired boy in Draco's arms.

"Oh my Merlin, why didn't you tell me it was urgent, Severus?" Poppy stressed as she levitated Harry from Draco's arms into a cot.

"If it wasn't urgent, why would I be here at," he looked at his wristwatch, "eleven forty at night?"

Poppy just sighed deeply, not replying to Severus for the sake of her sanity.

She immediately looked over Harry, quite shocked at the damage on the boy's arms.

"Did he attempt again?" She asked.

Minerva looked to Severus before answering, "that, Poppy, we are unsure of."

Poppy nodded in response.

Severus, deep in thought, raised his eyebrows, "Draco?"

Draco whipped his head round to Severus, "yes, Severus?"

"You mentioned that Harry was...texting you, telling you about his whereabouts. Am I right in saying this?" Severus asked.

Draco tilted his head at the question, "yes, you are."

"Did he say anything about his intentions? Did he mention wanting to...take his life?" He asked again.

Draco paled slightly, "he said something like, if he could he would. He texted me asking for help, I hadn't a clue how to, though."

"We can suspect that Harry needed to do... it again. I do not think, by what Draco is describing, that he wanted to ended his life." Minerva spoke cooly.

Severus nodded his head, "I understand what you are saying, Minerva. However, with the past that boy has, I wouldn't rule out a suicide attempt."

Draco felt too many emotions in that moment of time, "what do you mean? Past?"

Severus sighed, "Draco, there are certain things in Potter's life that none of us will ever be able to understand. He is just a boy, he should not be burdened by The Dark Lord twenty-four-seven."

"Severus is right, Draco. With what Harry has been through and what he will have to suffer through in the future, his reactions are to be expected." Minerva said.

"Severus, Minerva, Harry will be fine. I have given him a dreamless sleep potion. He had not slept in a while, it is evident in his feature, he also needs to eat more. He has eaten nothing since his attempt." Poppy explained.

Minerva gasped, and Severus nodded.

"Thank you, Poppy. When he wakes, please inform us." Severus spoke.

"My pleasure, Severus. Will do." Poppy retuned.

"Severus," came Minerva's voice.

"Yes?" He said.

"Shall we inform Albus?" She questioned.

"Only if we have to. I fear that he will make the situation worse on Harry's behalf." Snape said.

"I agree." She finished, "well, it is getting late, we should retire back to our quarters."

Severus nodded, "Draco, go to bed. You may skip your classes tomorrow. You have been through quite the ordeal tonight."

"Thank you, Sev." Draco thanked before going back to the Slytherin common room.

He climbed back into his bed and immediately went onto his phone.
