"Poppy!" Severus yelled as he stepped through the floo with Chrysanthemum's friend group and Bella behind him "Severus what-" she stopped when she saw Chrysanthemum bloody body "Oh my. Quickly, set her down" Poppy pointed to the bed by the fair wall, opposite of a window that let you viewed the black lake

Instead of the white sheets and pillows, it was red satin sheets with a red silk pillow with Chrysanthemum name above the bed. After Poppy learned about Chrysanthemum home life, she did many check ups on her, more after re-breaking her bones. Since she was in the hospital wing so many times getting check up Poppy decided to set up a bed for the young girl knowing she would need it sooner or later, she just didn't know it would be because of this

"What happened?" Poppy asked closing the curtain around the bed just as Minavera and Dumbeldore came in ushering the kids and Bella out to the hallway "Death eater's attacked. We found her in a burning building, protecting a little girl. From the cuts on her back it looks like they used the cutting spell" Severus told her as Poppy used magic to get Chrysanthemum out of her clothes leaving her in her bra and underwear

Severus makes sure to keep his eyes on his wife's face, he hasn't seen her body before and he wouldn't look until she was awake and okay with it. Poppy noticed the action and couldn't help but smile before getting back to work, trying to stop the bleeding "What else did they use?" she muttered

"Arrows" Severus answered her remembering the 6 or 8 arrows around Chrysanthemum that didn't burn up "She was shot a lot" but still kept going, was the unsaid sentence and neither wanted to know how much pain Chrysanthemum had to endure before so that breaking arrows and pulling them out your own flesh didn't hurt enough to stop moving

Once Poppy got the bleeding to stop, Seveurs helped get several potions down Chrysanthemum throat. She choked and sputtered trying to move away even passed out but Severus held her down gently stroking his throat to get her to swallow it "It's okay, Chrysanthemum" he whispered softly "Just a few more" he wasn't certain she heard him but he kept whispering to her until she drunk the last one

With the potions out Poppy set about closing the wounds. Waving her wand above the wound she muttered the spell only for it to glow white before Chrysanthemum magic released a green shield throwing the spell back at Poppy who ducked out of the way. Severus and Poppy turned to where the spell hit and saw a whole through the curtain "No magic on her, then" Poppy said shocked turning back to Chrysanthemum "Severus get me my muggle kit"

Severus nodded and opened the curtain to see Dumbeldore and Minerva standing there looking the same as Poppy "It seems magic isn't an option for Chrysanthemum at the moment" he told them moving past them to Poppy office and pulling out her muggle kit she uses on the muggle-born first years

Returning back to Poppy, he handed her the stitches "Hold her, we don't know if she will wake up or not" Severus nodded and held his wife down by her shoulders as Poppy started stitching close the wounds

Chrysanthemum opened her eyes groggily as she felt sharp pains in her leg and shoulders "W-What?" Chrysanthemum looked down seeing Poppy stitching up her leg, she looked up to see Seveurs holding her shoulders "AH!" she hissed when Poppy tugged on the stitch. Severus looked down at his wife, his heart breaking a little when he sees the tears in her eyes

"Seveurs" Chrysanthemum reached for his hand, which he let her grab and hold tightly "It's okay, you're doing so good" Chrysanthemum squeezed his hand when Poppy pulled on another stitch, biting her lip, Chrysanthemum closed her eyes and let Poppy finish working

"All done" Poppy pulled away as Severus grabbed a pain reliever potion "Slowly" he muttered tilting the vail back as Poppy left to tell Dumbeldore and Minerva what's happening

"How is she, Poppy?" Albus asked in concern when Poppy stepped out in the hallway where him, Minerva and Chrysanthemum's friends were waiting "She'll live, headmaster" Poppy informed them. Everyone sighed in relief

Now that the danger of Chrysanthemum not making it was gone, Dumbeldore turned to the group of students Bella and the auror "What happened?"

"They showed up out of nowhere" Bella started "We were just walking before Chrysanthemum dragged me through the buildings as spells started being fired"

"We were still at the Three Broomstick" Neville pointed to himself and Dean "And we were shopping. But when we heard the fighting we rushed over" Lavender told the headmaster

"You guys shouldn't have gotten involved" The auror told them making the group glare at him "Civilians aren't trained to fight death eaters"

"Chrysanthemum isn't"

"Not a civilian now, is she?"

"She's sixteen!"

"She's Chrysanthemum Potter"

Her friends glared at him as Ron held Hermione back from hexing the auror. Lavender interrupted before Hermione could try to hex the auror "We don't know how it happened, but we do know it happened fast. It was silent before the screams started and that's when we rushed towards the fight. When we got there we saw Chrysanthemum, Hermione, Ron and Bella firing spells and the death eaters fired spells and arrows back at them"

They took turns explaining what happened from their point of view, Poppy, Dumbedlore and Minerva couldn't help but feel pride knowing that these people would always have Chrysanthemum back

"Chrysanthemum used a spell... It's called the Queen control" Hermione and Ron shared a look before Ron continued "We found it last year, it gives the person the idea of what to do, but she doesn't control how they do it that's all up to the person"

The auror nodded, taking notes of everything before leaving "All of you, off to the common room, take young Arabella with you. When Mrs. Potter-Prince wakes up you will be the first to know" The group wanted to argue but seeing the look on Minerva face they left taking Bella with them 

Minerva and Dumbledore turned to poppy each with a look of worry on their faces "Do you know why Chrysanthemum magic reacted to your healing spell?" Dumbledore asked, he has never seen someone force back magic, not healing magic. The unforgivable sure people were able to throw off the magic if they had the power too but no one was able to force back magic the way Chrysanthemum did

Poppy shook her head, there should be no reason as to why Chrysanthemum magic fought off her own "I do not know, but if her own magic doesn't start healing her..." Poppy didn't know what would happen if Chrysanthemum doesn't start healing

"Albus!"

The three turned to see Hooch, Flitwick and Sprout rushing towards them "We heard the news from the students. How is Mrs. Potter-Prince?" Flitwick asked

"Why don't we go see. Maybe she's awake" Albus suggested. Poppy nodded and led the teachers towards, Chrysanthemum bed in the back. Chrysanthemum was now in one of the hospital gowns, her hair was taken out of the braids and put into a messy bun, she was leaning against Severus chest as he rubbed her sides whispering soothing words to her

They could see the minimal shaking Chrysanthemum was doing, they also noticed her eyes glowing killing curse green "It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong" "You saved them" "The little girl is safe because of you" they could hear some of the things Severus was whispering to his wife, the couple haven't noticed them yet

"Chrysanthemum," Minerva said softly. The adults gasped and stepped back as a glowing green shield surround Chrysanthemum bed, Albus and Severus noticing it was the same shield that kept her and the little girl alive

"It's okay" Severus wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closing being careful with her stitches "It's just the Professors, no one here is going to hurt you" Severus knew his wife was stuck in attack mode, ready to defend anyone she cares about from harm and until he can get her out of that mindset, she will continue to be on alert "Chrysanthemum come back. It's okay"

The others watched as the shield slowly fell around the two, Chrysanthemum closed her eyes leaning against her husband holding his hand tightly "No one's here to hurt me?" she muttered "No, love. No one's here to hurt you" Severus assured her making her nod and open her eyes that are now back to emerald green

"What was that?"
