Hey guys, Butterlover328 here!! Guess you didn't have to wait long for the next chapter, especially after what happened, eh?? (I was thinking about waiting for another week to upload the next chapter, but that would've been cruel.) When I wrote that chapter, I was considering making the line break a cliffhanger, but it would've been too short for my tastes. Anyways, here's part two of the triple upload, so I hope you enjoy the chapter!!

"That was awesome Draco!! I can't believe you caught the snitch in the first 5 minutes of the game!! I think you may have broken a school record!!" Neville cheered. Draco stood tall and proud next to Hermione and Neville as they walked towards the Hospital Wing. Harry had chosen to stay with his twin if he woke up during the match, and Draco understood that, even if he wished that he had come. 

They walked into the Hospital Wing to see Harry sitting in a chair next to Percy's bed, clutching his hand and talking to him quietly. 

 "Hey Harry." Hermione said somberly. He didn't even look up at the trio as he spoke. 

 "Madam Pomfrey's finally figured out what happened. Dumbledore used his legimency at it's full power on Percy and his body's reaction was to shut down into a coma so he wouldn't reveal his secrets. Madam Pomfrey has no idea when he will wake up, or if he ever will. If he doesn't wake up by Monday, he'll be sent to St. Mungo's." 

"What!?!? He has to wake up!!" Neville yelled, fighting the urge to cry. His parents had already been sentenced to a life at the hospital, and he wouldn't be able to bear it if one of his best friends went there too. 

 "Have you tried your telepathy?? Regaining that connection with him might be enough to wake him up." Draco theorized. 

 "I'll try, but I can't promise anything." Harry closed his eyes, praying that this would work. 

 'Percy?? Can you hear me??' A faint echo circled Harry's head, as he waited for a response with bated breath. 

'Harry??' If it weren't for the practice the twins had over the holidays, Harry would never had been able to hear the minuscule voice in his head. 

 "It worked!! It's faint, but I can hear him!!" 

 "Well then keep doing it!! It may be the only way to bring him back!!" Neville exclaimed. 

'Percy, I need you to follow my voice, okay?? I'm just going to keep talking to you and you have to find it and respond, okay??' 

'Got it.' Already, Percy's voice was starting to get stronger.

 'Great. Now, what happened in Dumbledore's office??' 

'Apparently, Weasley claimed that I had attacked him with no procovation-' 

 'WHAT?? Why didn't he ask for us to come up as well?? We were witnesses.' 

 'That's what I said!! So during that, he kept testing my occlumency shields until he he forced his way through and shattered them. It was horrible Harry, I hope that you never have to deal with that. The pain was unbearable and then the next thing I knew, you were talking to me.'

'Percy, I don't really know how to tell you this.' Harry said uneasily.

'Just tell me.' 

'Well, you've kind of been in a coma for two weeks.' 

 'TWO WEEKS!?!?' By now, Percy's voice was almost normal, and Harry swore he felt Percy's hand twitch. 

 'Yes, but you've almost woken up!! Please keep coming closer!!' Harry's voice was a mix of joy and desperation. 

 'Harry??' Percy asked, a twinge of worry accentuating the sound of his voice. 'I have a bit of a problem here.' 

'What's going on??' 

'There's something here trying to gain access to my mind. It's armed and it's UGLY.' Percy said, brandishing both of his wands and getting into a fighting position. The thing reared it's head and try to claw at him, but he nimbly dodged and shot a stunner at it. Luckily, it connected and the creature fell over frozen stiff. 

"I need to find a weapon or something. I need to kill this thing before it wakes up." Percy muttered to himself. 

Suddenly a bright light enveloped his vision and he instinctively covered his eyes until he grasped something and the light disappeared. In his hand, Percy was shocked to discover a three and a half footlong silver sword excellently crafted, although it wasn't as balanced as he would've liked upon swinging it a few times. He took the heavy sword in both hands and beheaded the creature, almost dropping the sword on his foot when he saw the creature turn into a pile of golden dust. 

The sword disappeared as soon as he was done with it as well, so Percy shook his head and continued on. 

 'I'm back. That was weird though.' 

 'Are you okay??' The concern in Harry voice made him stop and consider it. Was he really okay?? He had killed something. Granted, it might have been a hallucination, but was he really fine with ending something's life while it was helpless?? He shook his head, clearing it before he started walking again. 

'I'm fine.' 

 'Great.' Warmth filled Percy as he heard the relief in his twin's voice as he entered the room of their dreamscape, where Harry was waiting for him. They ran to each other and as they embraced each other Percy felt a connection and a rush of power fill him before he opened his eyes to a blinding white. 

He tried to close them once again, only to have someone squeeze him tightly. It wasn't until Percy was about to pass out again from lack of oxygen that the bundle released him, showing his little brother with unshed tears in his eyes. 

 The twins had a heartfelt moment as they embraced each other that made Hermione feel like she was intruding. 

 "We'll go tell Madam Pomfrey that Percy's awake. Come on guys." She pulled Draco and Neville away from the two and they rushed to the mediwitch's private quarters to tell her the news. 

 "I was so worried. I thought you weren't going to get up." Harry's voice trembled as he spoke into his brother's shoulder. "I thought I was going to be all alone again." 

 Percy pulled back and his face showed his emotions clearly, his eyes pouring a grim determination into Harry's soul. 

"You will never be alone again, Harry. I swear it. You have me, Mom, Hermione, Neville, and Draco. As long as I live, nothing is going to happen to you, or to any of the others, I swear it." 

 "You really mean it??" Harry asked, hope shining in his eyes."

"I do." The door opened, startling the twins and making them pull out their wands, only to put them back when they saw it was just Madam Pomfrey and the others. The mediwitch put her hands on her hips and gave the two a stern look. 

"Mr. Potter, as excited as I know you are that Mr. Jackson is awake, can you please get off of him so I may assess him??" 

Harry's face flushed as he slowly untangled his arms from Percy so he didn't injure him further, and walked over to his friends as Pomfrey waved her wand over Percy. 

 "Your physical health seems to be normal, but your occlumency shields have been shattered. It's going to take a while to get them back to the condition that they were. Nonetheless, you have otherwise sustained no other damage and are free to leave." 

 Percy climbed out of bed and performed a quick 'Scourgify' to clean his clothes until he could find an opportunity to change and rejoined his brother's side as the five smiled, finally back together again.

I know this may have seemed a bit rushed, but when I do the full scale edit I'll either stick onto the last chapter or lengthen this one. Anyways, the last chapter of the triple upload will be coming soon, so I'll see you in a few!! Bye!!
