Thanks for reviewing! That includes: RachelEmberLee and The Mysterious E!

I also want to say that I wanted to update this last weekend, but I couldn't because we had to go to my grandparents for my birthday (which was February 2nd).

Chapter 7: St. Mungo's and Home

Ever since Lilianna was born, Hermione seemed to get maternal instincts every time something was wrong. She was having this very feeling in the middle of the grocery store. She looked around attentively and uneasily. She was hoping, begging it was a false instinct this time instead of the real thing. If anything happened to Lilianna under Draco's care, he wouldn't be a part of his daughter's life anymore. He'd never get to see her anymore.


"Lili!" Draco yelled as he saw his daughter choking. "Is there anything I can do?" He asked, forgetting she couldn't answer. "St. Mungo's!" He said aloud. "C'mon, I'm taking you there, you'll feel better, Sweetie," he said, picking up Lilianna. Once she was settled securely in his arms, he Apparated.

Once Draco landed in St. Mungo's, Healers rushed over. "HELP!" He yelled as he felt tears roll down his cheeks.

"What's wrong with her?" A Healer asked as others went to roll a bed into the main lobby so they could roll Lilianna into a room.

"She's allergic!" Draco yelled, still partially sobbing.

"Allergic to what?" The Healer asked as the others came with the bed.

"N-nuts!" Draco half sobbed, holding Lilianna, who was still choking, so tightly the Healer had to pry her out of his arms.

"Sir, I need you to let go so we can help her," The Healer said, and Draco finally let go. The Healer set Lilianna on the bed.

"What should we do, Elle?" Another asked as they rolled Lilianna away.

"Were those nuts enhanced with magic?" Elle asked Draco, preventing him from following Lilianna.

"M-most l-likely."

"What do you mean 'most likely'? Either they were or they weren't."

Draco shook his head. "I d-don't know. My m-mother sent th-them."

"Your mother sent you nuts and you fed them to your daughter knowing about her allergy?"

Draco shook his head. "My mother sent them in brownies. I hadn't checked them before I let Lilianna have one."

Elle's companion looked up. "That's Lilianna?" He asked. "She's changed so much!"

Draco nodded. "It is Lilianna. Lilianna Granger. How do you know her?"

"Granger?" The second Healer chuckled. "She's Lilianna Malfoy! I delivered her five years ago."

"Her last name's not Malfoy," Draco told him, shaking his head.

"Yes it is. Miss Granger told me to but 'Malfoy' on the birth certificate after Mr. Potter left the room to talk to his wife, Ginevra."

"But she told me Lilianna's last name is 'Granger'."

The second Healer shook his head, then turned to Elle. "Tell them to take x-rays of her throat. Give her the potion that breaths for her. Breathicalus? I think that's what it's called." He told her, then kissed her before she left.


"I'm home!" Hermione announced uncertainly to the empty house. "I-is anyone home?" She asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Hullo?" Hermione noticed a little brown wad on the floor. "I hope that's spit," she remarked and saw the plate of brownies. She picked one up and broke it open. She dropped it as if it were a poison when she noticed the nuts. "Lilianna! LILIANNA!" She yelled, searching through the empty house. She ran to one of the many bookcases she had in the house. She pulled out and enchanted book she had bought a few years back. "Show me Draco Malfoy." She told it before opening it. When she did, she saw Draco talking to a Healer at St. Mungo's. Using wandless magic, she Apparated herself there.


"What the hell?" She asked Draco, approaching him. "I gave you a simple task, and you can't even do that right?" She yelled, fighting back tears.

"I'm sorry," He said, expanding his arms open, expecting a hug.

Instead, Hermione pushed his arms down. "I'm mad at you!"

"Hermione, I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Draco told her sincerely.

"You're right," Hermione said, "it won't happen again because you're never going to see Lilianna again."

"But, Hermione-"

"Don't you think she'll be better without you?" Hermione yelled, oblivious Lilianna, who was better, was behind her. "She could have died! Under your watch, Dr-Malfoy!" Hermione felt tears escape her eyes. "You are to stay out of my daughter's life! You can't see her anymore. I don't want to catch you around her, is that understood? I don't want you risking her life anymore," at that Lilianna ran back to her room, crying; Hermione had not heard. "By the time I return with Lilianna, you must have all your things packed and you out of my house. Anything not packed that's yours, I will burn in front of you." With that, Hermione went to Lilianna's hospital room. "What's wrong?" She asked sweetly upon seeing Lilianna's tear streaked face.

"He's my father!" Lilianna said through sobs. "And now you're making him leave!"

"Lili, I'm sorry, but, please understand, you could have died-"

"But I didn't!"

"Lilianna I almost lost you twice now, I'm not going to take anymore chances. It's not my fault your father screwed up his one chance with you!"


Lilianna remained silent until it was time to leave the next day. When Hermione Apparated home with her, she pouted and ran to her room. She didn't come out until somebody rang the door bell. it was a couple hours before everyone was supposed to come.

Lilianna ran down the hallway, peering around the corner with her gray eyes. She saw a man who looked a lot like her father and the way she chose to look today-blond hair and gray eyes-only he wasn't Draco. He was older-much older.

"So you're the girl Draco takes a fancy to. You're that Mudblood!" Lucius Malfoy said, barging in. Hermione grabbed her wand, and pointed it not at Lucius, but to the hallway, casting a Protego at the entrance. "Who's that?" Lucius asked coldly, staring down Lilianna.

"No one. She's innocent, leave her be!" Hermione yelled.

"Alright," Lucius said, stunning Hermione with his wand. He picked up the now unconscious woman and Apparated, leaving Lilianna where she was, alone.

A/N: Again, forgive me. It was my birhtday last Thursday, and the day before one of my 'friends' was mean to me, giving me a huger writers' block. Anyways, please review!
