Ha. I'm proud to say I wrote this whole chapter in one day. Thanks for the reviews. It was a great Christmas gift. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and here is Chapter 9.


LAST TIME

Where am I? Hermione thought as she opened her eyes. Why is the room white? Where's Ron? What happened to the dark staircase we were going down? Oh…I must have fallen…

"Ms. Granger you're awake," an unfamiliar voice said.

NOW

Hermione closed her eyes again. Maybe I'm dreaming. Oh, I hope I'm dreaming. She opened them for a second time and much to her dismay was still looking at the pale white walls of the room around her.

She looked to her left. There stood a tall man in lime green robes with the embroidered symbol of a crossed bone and wand.

"Ms. Granger, how are you feeling?"

"Fine, thanks," Hermione replied a little confused, "Who are you?"

"I'm Healer Kaskafall," the healer replied, "and to answer your next question you are at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

"I'm sorry what? Where is Ron?"

"Your friends are outside but I must speak to you before they come in. You may not recognize all of them. You bumped your head rather hard when you took that fall and although we have been able to mend your leg, it may take you several weeks to get your full memory back."

"All I can remember is walking down the stairs somewhere with Ron. He's my best friend."

"Can you remember where you two met or who you are staying with?"

"No. Ron and I were together that's all I can remember. We were on holiday somewhere. Everything around it is quite foggy."

The doctor left the room for a minute allowing Hermione to examine her surroundings. In the corner were two more people. Both had ginger hair and nervous smiles on their faces.

The woman of the two approached the bed. She was a portly woman with curly hair.

"Hermione, it's so good to see you up."

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Hermione asked nervously. Surely these two were not her parents. She had never had a ginger hair on her head.

"I'm Mrs. Weasely. I'm Ronald's mother. Over there is Mr. Weasely. He's Ronald's father."

"Oh, nice to meet you… again…"

"I'm sorry to tell you this but your parents couldn't come," Mrs. Weasely said sadly, "Since they're Muggles they don't have any way to get to this hospital. I sent them an owl to tell them what happened and that you're alright and that you would still be staying with us as planned… that is if you still want to."

Hermione sat up, a little overwhelmed. "Thank Mrs. Weasely. I'm sorry for being such a burden. Is there any way that I could see Ronald?"

"The doctor said that no one can see you today, but tomorrow I'll bring the boys and Ginny to see you."

"Who?"

"Oh sorry, dear. I forgot… Ginny is Ronald's little sister."

"Oh…"

The doctor returned to the room. As he shut the door, Hermione heard Ron's voice and yelled out.

"I'm sorry Ms. Granger but he isn't allowed in."

"Please, Doctor. He's the only person I know. I can't remember anyone else. Please," She pleaded.

"I really shouldn't. It's not good practice to put you in contact with people until you're leg fully heals."

"What's wrong with my leg? You keep saying something is wrong but I still haven't heard what!" Hermione said getting agitated.

If I can't see Ron I at least want to know what is wrong with me. 'It's not good practice to put you in contact with people until you're leg fully heals.' Well it's not good practice to forget to tell the patient their diagnoses.

"When you fell down the stairs you landed on your leg funny. I was able to straiten the bones in it, but you need to take a bone growing potion until it is fully healed."

"I don't know what that has to do with my seeing Ron. People get sick all the time. Bones are mended all the time. People at school walk with crutches and slings and no one stops them from seeing other people," Hermione stated in a very matter of fact way.

"Alright, Ms. Granger. You have pleaded your case. I will allow young Mr. Weasely to come in. However, he is to keep his distance. I don't want those bones moving out of place while they are growing back."

"Yes, Doctor, thank you."


I told you I would get you the next chapter! Please Review! Happy New Year! This may be the last chapter for awhile as I have term finals comming up but I will update ASAP.
