System•Always~ (Harry Potter)
The Half blood Prince's hier¹¹
In this one month Severus used to come daily and sit beside Petunia for 2-3 hours.
Mr and Mrs Evans had gotten used to it and instead decided that they would spend those hours with Hadrian. who still has not met his mother.
The couple had decided to take him to his mother after she had woken. They knew Hadrian would just feel sad if he saw his mother lying on the bed without moving.
Meanwhile, Charlus had accepted his original father James Potter and had moved in with him last week, promising to meet Snape again some other time.
Now Severus was alone everyday. He kept himself working for the whole day and only took a break when he had to meet Petunia
Mr and Mrs Evans could clearly see his state. Hair that were usually tame and perfect looking looked disheveled. Dark circles under his eyes and what not.
Severus had come to visit Petunia an hour ago resulting in the Evans couple going back home to freshen up
Severus just sat there, staring at Petunia as all his memories of her sneakily following him through Hogwarts, gifting him cakes, sending him letters ran through his head.
He had thrown all the cakes and burnt all the letters, that's what she thought. But only he knew how he read all those letter over 10 times. How he licked his fingers after finishing the cake that she had made herself
He had thought that this was just all a play since he was experiencing it all for the first time.
But now he knows, it was no play.
But he had forgotten it because of some childhood crush.
Tears fell down his face as he held Petunia's hand tightly.
He repeated I'm sorry for over hundred times since the last month. Still, he felt the guilt.
Suddenly he felt the hand he was holding move. He quickly looked up as realization started hitting him
The woman on the bad slowly opened her eyes
Severus Snape
W-wait I'll call the doctor
Severus tapped the bell beside the bed with his wand and a few seconds later healer after healer came rushing in as he was pushed out of the room.
Snape told his house elf to inform the Evans about this
About 15 minutes later Mr and Mrs Evans arrived
Severus Snape
The healers are checking her
After a few minutes the healers came out
Healer
She is better now. Make sure not to stress her out. Listen to everything she says.
Healer
Also she will be under observation for the next two days and if everything is okay than we can discharge her on the third day
Mr Evans
Okay, doctor. Thank you
The Evans as well as Severus slowly stepped inside the room.
Petunia looked up from where she was laying making eye contact with each of the person before looking at the other side
Mrs Evans
Petunia, my daughter, how are you? Do you feel better?
Petunia Evans
What is he doing here?
Mr Evans
I will send him out immediately if you don't want to see him.
Petunia Evans
No, I just wanted to know why the great Lord Prince would visit a lowly life like me.
Mr Evans
Mr Prince please step outside
As soon as Severus went out of the room, Petunia burst into tears.
Her sobs could be heard by Severus outside
Mrs Evans immediately hugged her daughter.
Petunia Evans
I had decided that if I ever get out of Azkaban, I would cut all ties from this world and go away with my son.
Petunia Evans
But then he had to just come and blurt all those things in front of me
Mrs Evans
I know......I know baby
Petunia Evans
I lost her.....I lost her mom
Mr Evans
You still have Hadrian, my child. He needs you.
Petunia Evans
Where is he?
Mr Evans
He's at home. Should I bring him here?
Mr Evans
Fine, rest here. I'll go and get him
Mrs Evans
And I'll get you food.
Petunia Evans
Send him inside.
The Evans couple stepped out of the room
Mr Evans
Go inside *looking at Severus and went away*
