At St.Mungos
It was going to be sunrise, Claire was busy preparing handover for the next shift.Cho on the other hand was writing to Harry informing him about Hermione.
Hermione Granger was in a special ward and she didnt want anyone to know it yet.
Daily Prophet reporters would be there in no time if they got hint of Hermione.
Hermione was not in a situation physically or mentally to deal with reporter, infact to Cho's understanding she was not in condition to see anyone for now.But Harry and Ron should know, no matter what her condition is.
Cho walked to Hermione's ward and looked through the tiny see through glass , she was asleep holding her Doll close to her chest and her right hand on her belly. Hermione appeared at peace , she was given potion to get sleep few hours ago.
Cho stood there,looking at her patient and her old school mate.They were never friends but she knew Hermione well, through DA meetings and ofcourse during the war.They all fought together for the same cause.
But the Hermione she knew was not this fragile, underfed , scared and shabby looking girl.
Her hair were mess, although it was always curly n bushy but right now it was a true mess. Indicating she had been through rough days on the streets.
Cho found her on a street of Sydney , where she was for a week to visit her Boyfriend on his birthday.But she never expected finding Hermione there , sitting outside one of the restaurant in a dark corner with people around her.They were trying to help her, afterall she looked terribly ill and in need of help when Cho saw her.
Her clothes were shabby with visible holes.Her jeans was torn on knee showing deep cut and soaked blood.
Her eyes were teary .She was scared.But Hermione she knew was a brave girl.
Why was she here?
What had happened?
She knew Hermione was missing for a good 6 to 7 months now, but finding her here was the last thing she expected.The Whole ministry was trying to track her , but could not and here she was right in front of her.
"Hermione" Cho rushed towards her, Hermione shifted back.
"What are you doing here?Oh Merlin i am so happy you are found." Cho was smiling at her.
With that, people around started to disperse knowing that their help was not required anymore.
Hermione gave her a confused look.
"Who are you?"she asked.
Cho was taken back.
"Hermione its me Cho, from Hogwarts" she said quickly.
Hermione still looked at her with confusion clutching her Doll close to her heart.
Cho looked at her, and spoke again.
"Hermione, you know me we were together in same school, we fought together.Whats wrong with you, Where have you been.Oh sweet Lord you look so sick.Hermione whats going on?"
She said everything so quickly that Hermione's eyes filled with tears.
She looked at the older girl and replied in a small voice only audible enough for Cho, her voice was hoarse "Do you know me? Can you help me, i am lost.I dont know where i am or who i am, i cant recollect most of my life.I dont know what is happening.Please can you take me to someone who knows me" She said everything so fast and sobbed holding her hands.
Cho was shocked and completely out of words she knew Hermione needed help urgently. She helped her to get to her feets.Only than she realised, she was pregnant.If Cho was shocked before she was completely disturbed seeing Hermione like this.The moment Hermione got to her feet she lost her balance and was going to collapse when Cho's boyfriend held her."We should reach St Mungos at the earliest." she said.
Cho and her boyfriend held her and took her to nearest Floo network and they both flooed to St.Mungos with unconcious Hermione.
At Burrow
It was early morning, Mrs Weasley was busy frying some sausage and making tea, Arthur Weasley sat on one of the chair with his Daily Prophet.
"Daily Prophet is Rubbish." he said folding the paper and keeping it aside.
"Who in the name of Merlin wants to know what Weird sister have for their breakfast and where was young Mclaggen seen with his new girlfriend."
Mrs Weasley did not respond, she knew he was speaking to himself.It was 30 years of marraige she knew him enough.
"When is Ginny arriving" , Mrs Weasley asked.
Ginny was selected by Harpies and was on a test tour with the team.She was going to return this morning.
" She should be here in an hour." Arthur replied.
" Oh dear, its going to be lovely today.Ron and Harry are here from their training. George is taken a day off.Percy Audrey Bill and Fleur will be coming,its going to be a great surprise for Ginny."
"Yes, indeed.Your daughter is international Quidditch star now" Arthur teased her.
"Our Daughter" she corrected, they both shared a warm hug.
Just than an owl flew at the window of the kitchen.
Arthur Weasley walked upto the bird, it had a letter tied on his feet.
Arthur tried to untie it when the bird bit him.
"Ouch" ,he said pulling his finger back . "This looks confidential."
He looked at the letter, it was addressed to Harry Potter.
"Go wake them up", he said to Molly.She quickly made her way towards the stairs to Ron's room.
knock knock
"Ron, Harry wake up there is a letter down.Seems important " She called from outside the door.
Harry was the first to get to his feet.Ron however didnt move a bit and continued to snore.
He opened the door and greeted Mrs Weasley and walked down to the kitchen behind her.
Aa he entered the kitchen he saw a Barn owl sitting on the window pane drinking some water from the bowl.
Harry quickly untied the letter and the bird took his flight immediately.
Harry opened the letter, and started to read it to himself.
Dear Harry,
Please come to St.Mungos as soon as possible.Hermione is here.Cant write much.Just dont let people know.
Get Ron with you if you can.
Regards,Cho
Harry eyes were grown to size of a snitch, He ran up as soon as he could leaving Mr and Mrs Weasley confused. He entered the room and shook Ron vigorously.
Ron opened his eyes.
"What the bloody hell" he said irritated.
"Its Hermione get up we need to go St.Mungos now."
Ron sat there speechless for few seconds trying to comprehend his words.
"Are you coming or Not?", Harry asked clearly annoyed.
"Yes" was all that came out.
