Chapter 11: Waking
Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron stayed in the hospital wing all day hoping that their children would wake up and tell them what happened to them. They had every intention to stay through the night as well but Madame Pomfrey made them leave saying at the same time.
"Even if they do wake up there not going anywhere if I have anything to do with it" which got the concerned parents out of the hospital wing and back to their houses.
It was midnight when Albus stirred in her bed opening her eyes she looked around to find that she was in the hospital wing sitting up she saw that Albus was in the bed opposite her and still was unconscious.
Looking to her left she saw Scorpius in the bed next to her he shifted slightly and hoping that he was awake whispered.
"Scorpius, Scorpius" at once he sat up in bed seeing she was awake a wide grin spread on his face and he said.
"Rose thank god your awake I was so worried" with that he got out of his bed and went to sit on hers. Rose smiled at him and said.
"You were worried about me" he blushed slightly and then leaned in and kissed her.
"That is not what I wanted to see first when I woke up" Albus said as he sat up in bed. Rose and Scorpius parted and both turned to look at him.
"Oh Al your awake" Rose said trying to make a joke out of it but he wasn't paying attention he was staring at something that was in the chair next to him a look of horror on his face as he said.
"Our parents have been here" Rose face went pale and Scorpius just looked confused as he said.
"What's so wrong with your parents being here and how do you even know?" Albus was about to reply when Rose said.
"they'll want to know what happened and once they do we will never get any peace because where ever we go they will have someone looking after us" Albus continued by saying.
"Either that or they'll kill the giant squid" Scorpius nodded and then said again.
"So how do you know they've been here" to respond Albus held up a scarf which had embodied into it the name Ginny Weasley all three sat silently for a while.
"So how are we going to tell them" Rose asked breaking the silence that had fallen upon them Albus sighed then said.
"I do not know" before lying back down in his bed Scorpius kissed Rose again before going back to his bed. Rose sat up for a bit longer before lying back down and going to sleep.
Ron lay awake at six o'clock in the morning worrying about his daughter his childhood had been fraught with danger and he didn't want that for Rose and Hugo and he knew that Harry agreed with him.
Hermione was fast asleep as he got out the bed and got ready making his way downstairs he went to the fireplace and flooed to Hogwarts.
Not many people were up as he walked to the hospital wing as he got closer Madame Pomfrey came out seeing him she walked over and said.
"Just go in Mr Weasley" Ron nodded at her and made his way towards the door.
Rose looked around frantically she was under the lake again and the squid was coming for her there was no sign of Albus or Scorpius she tried to shout for them but they were nowhere around the squid was getting closer she started screaming.
Ron walked into the hospital wing he knew something was wrong Rose was moving her head frantically from side to side screaming running over he shook her awake.
Opening her eyes Rose looked up to the concerned face of her farther a tear streaked down her street and she said.
"Daddy don't let it get me" Ron was alarmed for a moment but then hugged her close and said to her.
"Sssshhh I won't let anything get you Rosie don't worry" she cried into his chest before he interrupted by saying.
"Rosie what happened to you and Albus" Rose drew back from him and shook her head and said.
"Wait till Albus wakes up" she said desperately trying to delay the moment until she had to tell him what happened but unfortunately at that moment Albus's voice came from the other side of the room.
"Will you two shut up I'm trying to sleep" and then Scorpius next to her mumbled.
"Yeah shut up" Ron stood up and looked crossly at both boys bed but before he could start shouting Rose grabbed her pillow wacked Scorpius on the head with it and then throw it at Albus.
Rose laughed at their reactions before she was hit at once by two pillows. A sort of pillow fight ensued leaving a dumbfounded Ron just standing there watching as all three kids collapsed into laughter.
Hermione woke to see that Ron wasn't in bed knowing that he had went to Hogwarts already she dressed quickly and flooed over to Harry and Ginny's house.
Harry was just about to step into the fireplace when Hermione came out of it he had to step back fast and fell over a chair. Ginny walked into the kitchen and saw Harry on the floor she sighed then said.
"Harry stop messing about we have to go see Albus" then seeing Hermione said "Oh Hermione what are you doing here" Hermione smiled down at Harry trying not to laugh then said.
"Ron went to Hogwarts already leaving me in bed I thought I'd come with you guys"
"Yeah that's okay now help me up" Harry said grudgingly from the floor reaching out his hands Ginny and Hermione grabbed one each and heaved him up then one by one they stepped into the fire and flooed to Hogwarts.
Walking into the hospital wing they saw Ron sitting in a chair in between Rose and Albus's bed and both Rose and Albus were sitting up awake.
"Oh Albus" Ginny said bursting into tears and running over giving her son a bone crushing hug Albus wasn't prepared for this and before long was gasping for breath and saying.
"mum...can't...breath" letting go Ginny looked teary eyed at her son before letting Harry give him a hug meanwhile Hermione had went to Rose and hugged her as well.
"So what happened to you" Harry said after he had gone over and gave Rose a hug as well. Ron huffed and Rose and Albus gave him a significant look. Harry, Ginny and Hermione didn't have to glare at Ron long before he said.
"Well how would you feel if the giant squid got hold of your daughter and tried to drown her" Hermione gasped and went and sat on Rose's bed refusing to let go of her no matter how much she protested.
