I Need a Doctor
Chapter 10
"I'm about to lose my mind. You've been gone for so long... I'm runnin' out of time. I need a doctor, call me a doctor, I need a doctor, doctor, to bring me back to life..."
"Mr. Potter, I'm sorry you've come all this way for nothing, but if I know Charlie as I think I do, there is nothing that can pull him away when his family is in need." Mr. Grey murmured, refusing to look up at Harry, but instead tracing the grain in the wooden table they were sitting at.
"I know..." Harry murmured. "But if you'd consider possibly coming to help, I know for a fact that Charlie shouldn't have to spend the rest of his life taking care of his mother and family, rather starting his own..."
"I apologize Mr. Potter, but I'm afraid it is much more difficult than that."
...
Percy could barely think straight as the mediwizards took George from him, but he knew that there was something very important to tell them.
"P-poisoned blood! He might have poisoned his blood!" Never would he forgive himself if that was the reason for another person he loved to die.
...
"Difficult? I don't understand."
"Mr. Potter... He's been gone for nearly eight months now. I haven't heard a single word from him and thought perhaps..." Joshua broke off, unable to continue for a few minutes through his emotion. "I thought he was dead, or that he didn't want to come back. A little before he left to go back to England, he accused me of cheating on him with someone else from the camp. I denied it, though it was true. He left thinking that he had wronged me. About four months ago, I began seeing this other man, thinking Charlie dead or worse."
...
"Get Karlston! Now!" A mediwizard shouted down the hall to the receptionist who scurried away immediately, returning a second later with a large burly man with prominent eyebrows and a hooked nose. "Poisoned blood!"
"Can't use a potion, needs new blood." He murmured slowly. "You're a relative? What's your name?" Looking at Percy now who just nodded dumbly.
"B-brother. I-it's Percy."
"He needs a blood match. Are there any other relatives that can get here right away? Give their names to the receptionist and follow us." The man said. Percy did as he was told and followed, shaking.
"Sit." Karlston ordered as they entered an empty room. "This'll need to be quick. Do you know your blood type?"
"W-w-what?" Percy managed to stutter out.
"Bloody wizarding ignorance." The mediwizard muttered under his breath. "Alright then, you," He pointed to a younger man standing by the door, "Perform the matching spell immediately after I prick his finger."
...
"Alright. Are you still seeing this man?"
"Y-yes, I am."
"Alright, well I think Charlie deserves to know the truth." Harry murmured, considering the mess he'd stumbled into. Seeing Joshua again may not convince Charlie to return to Romania, but it would perhaps give closure to both men. Harry just hoped that he wasn't creating more of a problem than already was.
