Summary: Snape scours the battlefield until he finds who he most wants to see.
Snape had spent the entire battle soaring on the euphoria of dealing death, so profoundly immersed in the Dark that it had taken time afterward for him to return to himself, to remember that he had a self that lived for other things than the agony and terror of his foes.
But when he did finally return to himself, that return was an icy shock of apprehension. He looked around himself for the first time with eyes that were tuned to other things than fatally exploitable physical and magical weaknesses. The field was strewn with figures in black robes. While at another time he might have felt ironic amusement that the whole world had belatedly decided to adopt his dress sense, now he flung himself toward the west side of the field, where he knew Al had been assigned.
Al! Where is he? Snape's frantic gaze flicked from one face to another. Al was not among those standing. The cold fist around his heart clenched as he realised that Al must be down. He sprinted toward the sprawled shapes on the ground - and then he saw Burke, dead-pale and bloody, but standing. Standing over...
Al! Snape ground to a halt, and a moan broke from him when he saw that Al's glasses were gone, and trickles of blood trailed from under his closed eyelids, from his nose and ears. Snape fell to his knees, reaching for Al's throat. A pulse, thank fuck he's alive!
Snape looked up at Burke with eyes glazed with horror. "What happened to him?" he choked out.
