Chapter 25: And the Problems Keep Coming...
Harry sat by her bed for three days. Three long days before he would admit to himself that maybe she wouldn't be okay. The mediwitches had mentioned blood loss to the baby, but still could find no reason for the pain and her loss of consciousness. It had taken a few hours, but she had reawakened, but soon after passed out once again. Every now and again she would wake up and say something, but never anything entirely coherent. Mostly just an "I'm Sorry", and mumbling about Malfoy.

Harry hated that man more now than ever. Harry had a deep-seated feeling that Malfoy had been the cause of this. What else could it be if not dark magic? Harry sat up and walked out to the waiting room to clear his head.

"He man, I'm sorry, but I got to go to work. I'll stop in later. Will you be okay?" Ron looked entirely dead. His eyes were as sunken in as Harry's, his face gaunt and pale. They looked as if they had died and risen. But, what could you expect from sleep and nutrient deprivation for so long?

"I understand. I'll stay here. They said she might wake up soon. The baby has been getting oxygen and should be okay, but they are still worried. All signs have been inconclusive as to what the cause is." Harry walked back into the room. His angel still looked beautiful, but it didn't change the degree of worry. This baby needed to be okay. This was his chance for happiness. Would she forgive him if something happened?

Draco paced his study once more. One week. Gone one whole week. Was she going to come back? He needed her back. He sat down and turned as he heard a loud thud from the downstairs lobby.

"Draco, where ya at? I got some news on that pretty little thing!!" That could be no other than his friend, Blaise. Blaise worked at St. Mungo's as a healer part time. Could this be good news?

"What Blaise, please hurry. I was thinking." Draco spat out as he heard the other man pound up the stairs.

"She's been out for three days man. Something about screaming and shit, but she hasn't woken up dude. Its fucking eerie. She goes back to them and all of a sudden this happens. Dumb fucks." Blaise was smiling. He knew this would be my chance for redemption. This worried me though. What had happened to have caused this? He certainly had nothing to do with it. Had Potter hurt her? He twirled the gold band in his fingers once more and placed it in the confines of his pocket.

"You can go now. I need some time to think."

"Sure thing, just let me know when you wanna make your move. I'd be glad to help for the effort ya know." The man slowly exited the study while his friend sat in contemplation.

"Draco... love... no..." Hermione mumbled as she slept. Harry sat next to her and held her hand. He wondered why she would ever say Malfoy and love together, even in an incoherent sentence. Had something really happened with them? He couldn't help but wonder. She wouldn't.. she couldn't right? Why had she called him Draco? What was going on? She was in love with him, and only him. And the no, what was the no for?
The nurse watched the pair closely. Something wasn't right about this girl. All her tests showed she was perfectly healthy. The doctors were all dumbfounded. Something, that had never happened before. Their best guess was the girl had subconsciously done this to herself. Grief had driven her over the edge temporarily. If this were the case, then no one could help her. She would have to be her own savior.
