[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

"professor……"

For a long time, Harry Potter came to this separate secret single ward on the top floor of St. Mungo's every two or three days.It was an afternoon, and the bright white sunlight came in from the window, gently wrapping the person lying on the bed.The patient was covered with St. Mungo's white sheets. Harry's fingers gently stroked the face with prominent cheekbones, brushed aside the dry black hair blown by the wind, and sniffed.For months, Severus fell asleep like this, never opening his eyes or even moving his chapped lips.Exposed to the bright sunlight, the expressionless face became paler and paler.

After the Order of the Phoenix brought the unconscious Severus back to England from the cave in the Alps, it took several days and nights of continuous rescue by three senior therapists of St. Mungo's to save his life from the severe magic fluctuation attack.During the rescue, they accidentally discovered that Severus was pregnant.Fortunately, after this calamity caused by the fluctuation of magic power, the development of the fetus was actually quite normal.

Thereafter, the patient was placed in this single ward, and the Fidelity Charm was used by anyone who knew about it to keep it a secret.They set up a set of magic, operated by the house-elf, to infuse the patients with nourishing potions at regular intervals.So the fetus was still developing, and after these few months, Severus' abdomen had obviously bulged, but the potions master, who was getting thinner and thinner, never woke up.

It should be said that the therapists had little hope for the outcome.From the very beginning, they discovered that Severus hadn't fully recovered from the blood loss and snake venom caused by the war, at least in terms of magic power, and this violent fluctuation almost completely took away his newly recovered magic power system, and at the same time broke his body.

The prospects are slim.As long as it lacks the miraculous comprehensive conditioning effect of Riverdale, it is already a miracle that the fetus can continue to develop when the mother is in a coma for a long time, and currently there is no potion that can do this.Severus' state was often in a state of high ups and downs, sometimes it seemed quite close to lucid, but quickly returned to a deep coma.On top of that, this added to Severus' weakness, as the fetus would be an intense drain on the mother's energy.The only hope right now is to try to ensure that Severus' body can last until delivery.Facing the earnest gaze of the savior, the therapists unanimously asserted that there would be no hope afterward.During this process, no matter what the potion master's situation was, whether he fell asleep or woke up, it was actually just lingering on his last breath.

Therefore, the failure of the search for Riverdale is greatly regretted by all those in the know.After Severus was settled, Harry went back to the Alps and searched all the caves around that cave again, and the results were utterly disappointing.In the end he even went back to that cave, frantically trying to use the piece of Riverdale that was destroyed by the magic wave, but like he had tried in other caves, it didn't work.

Harry had no idea what his purpose in coming here so often was.Every time, he obviously could only see the former professor lying there stiffly, except for the abdomen, he didn't notice any gratifying changes.Harry's hand slipped under the sheets and took Severus's hand lightly, it felt like he was holding a pair of phalanxes covered in shriveled skin.Despite all the warnings from the therapists, he still stubbornly sat down on the edge of the bed, touched Severus with his hands, and hoped for a miracle.

Harry couldn't explain what he should think of the last rescue operation now.He couldn't help but start to resent Lucius's idea, but he couldn't blame Lucius either, why didn't everyone think of this?Regarding the issue of the illusion, after discussion afterwards, it was basically confirmed that Voldemort also used the illusion to escape in the final battle at Hogwarts.But this time, the Avada Kedavra curse changed by the illusion caused a magic storm in the cave, which caused Riverdale to wither suddenly.

But what is the use of discussing these now?Everything was a foregone conclusion, they didn't expect the vision, let alone Severus teleporting Tom away at the last moment, and the last thing they expected was that Severus was pregnant.So what is the relationship between these two people?Harry felt his fingertips unconsciously pressing against his palm, and something hard pierced his palm, and only then did he remember that he was still holding the Potions Master's hand.He let go hastily, lest a moment of excitement should crush Severus' fragile fingers, and the hand dropped powerlessly to the sheet.

The person on the bed seemed to move their eyelashes.

"Are you awake?" Harry pounced on it like a hungry wolf seeing food.

He met a pair of black eyes in surprise.Severus moved his eyes blankly, feeling very unfamiliar with the environment, and finally could only focus on the familiar face in front of him.

"I'm Potter, Harry Potter, Professor."

Harry hurriedly introduced himself, and it seemed that Severus didn't respond to the name, maybe he didn't know him anymore... No, they knew each other when they were in the cave after all.

"We're at St. Mungo's." Harry repeated the words slowly, "I'm Harry Potter and we're at St. Mungo's."

Severus finally had a look in his eyes, as if he remembered something. "Potter..." The Potions Master tried slowly, vaguely, to make the syllable.
