Waiting


Percy and Audrey sat nervously outside the operating room.

"I hope it all goes well" said Audrey

"It will love" he replied squeezing her hand.

"She's so young, she shouldn't have to go through this" sobbed Audrey.

Percy put his arm around his wife and kissed her hair. "Love, she's going to be okay"

He saw Eli Zabini running up the corridor towards them.

"I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs Weasley, our portkey from Italy got delayed, how's Lucy doing?"

"That's okay Eli, you're here now and that's important, she's still in surgery" Audrey told him through her tears.

"I should have never gone away for Alonso's birthday" he said running his hand through his hair.

"You didn't know…." Percy started to tell him before sat down and buried his head in his hands.

The Healer stepped out of the operating theatre and they all stood up hoping for good news.

"We worked out she collapsed, because the tumour impacted on her lungs, luckily it was benign"

"Thank you so much Healer Brampton" Percy shook his hand, as Audrey and Eli smiled for the first time that day.
