Ten minutes later, Michael Anthony came back with news of a working Floo for travel to get Hermione to the magical hospital. He only hoped it wasn't too late to save her. And maybe to fix Draco's nose.


A Beauty is Sleeping Chapter 4

They arrived at St. Mungo's Hospital, with Hermione in Harry's arms and Draco's nose bleeding and bruised. Anthony took him to see a nurse privately to have his nose fixed up. He then knew how Harry felt after he broke his nose in sixth year.

Harry was getting very worried. Hermione hadn't responded to Renervate, which is supposed to work if you're stunned. /Maybe she's more than just stunned,/ he thought to himself. I can't remember what spells, charms, or curses were cast though.

"Andy, do you remember any spells you cast when we were collecting Malfoy? I'm sure it has to do with the state Hermione is in," Harry asked his comrade.

"I do remember using Stupefy against him. Would you like me to ask the others the same and make a list, sir?" Andy replied.

"That would be quite helpful, thanks."


An hour after arriving at the hospital, the doctors confirmed Harry's suspicions. Hermione was in a magic coma, though they have done all they could to try reverse the effects to no avail. Harry sent a patronus explaining what happened to their close friends. Ron apparated soon after getting the message.

"How did this happen, Harry? I thought she didn't go with you to get Malfoy. You let this - " Ron started to yell at his best friend. His face was red with anger.

"Now, before you start blaming and pointing fingers Ron, she didn't come with me. She found us by apparating in the middle of the forest where we found Malfoy hiding. It is not my fault this happened to her. I'm going to find out what happened, and fix this." Harry defended, aggravated at the scene his friend caused by trying to place the blame on him. "And one more thing, Ron: I told her to stay home because it was going to be dangerous."

"You have to remember mate, it's Hermione. She's addicted to danger, or danger is addicted to her," Ron joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, she has saved our lives more than we can count. I'm going to do what I can to save her, I promise."

"I know you will, Harry. Send a Patronus if you need anything," Ron assured him, then left the room with a pop.


A/N: I AM trying my best to make the chapters longer. This one is the longest chapter so far. Keep the reviews coming! They really make my day :) And Happy Halloween! It's been 31 years since Harry's parents deaths :(
