I do not own Harry Potter.

I will be editing more in near future.

If you feel the need to review please read ch 1 list before you do.

I do appreciate all follow/favorite and reviews.

Please understand I have a strong aversion to anything medical. I tried to follow what seemed likely to happen in Hermione situation. I am absolutely in no way positive in the accuracy of my symptoms, treatment and results of the characters. I am doing this as a hobby and do not have the time to dedicate to full research for accurate medical ailments.


To say that Healer Briggins was scared would be an understatement. If truth was told he was scared shitless.

In front of him stood Draco Malfoy. Youngest Death Eater to ever be marked, only son of notorious Death Eater Lucius Malfoy. Heir to the Malfoy fortune, and now also husband to Hermione Granger war heroine, the patient in question. He alone scared the crap out of him.

However he was not alone, next to him stood another man that put the equal fear of Merlin into him.

Harry Potter, the chosen one. The man who vanquished the Dark Lord at the age of 17. The man who survived the killing curse not once but twice. The man who fought Death Eaters that would make season Aurors sweat in fear like the Lastrange's, Dolohov, Macnair and that terrifying werewolf Greyback. The best friend of Hermione Granger war heroine, the patient in question. He should have called in sick today, he was so screwed.

Clearing his throat Harry Potter looked to the healer for an explanation while attempting to keep a calm façade on his face as he could muster. His calmness would hopefully serve his purpose two fold. One was to keep the healer calm in return so that he can quickly explain Hermione conditions with out bursting into tears he looked ready to do at any minute. Also to keep the focus on him and only him because Harry feared if the healer didn't start talking soon Malfoy was likely to remove the healers arm and start beating the poor healer with his own arm.

"Anytime would be great" Malfoy sneers. Jolting the healer into a continuous state of bobble head syndrome as Harry liked to call it.

Shooting Malfoy a look of "your not helping" and receiving a innocent shrug from Malfoy in return. Harry realized he was going to have to take the initiative if he wanted this meeting to progress and actually get any helpful information on Hermione.

"Can you at least tell us if she is awake, please?" Harry implores to the healer giving him a reassuring look while inwardly cheering at the healers obvious self calming breaths. Nodding in encouragement Harry urges him to begin with the rolling of his hand.

Keeping his focus on Harry the healer begins. "Miss Granger," taking a quick look to Malfoy he audibly swallow's at Malfoy glare. "I mean Mrs. Malfoy came in with a significant head injury and signs of moderate hypothermia."

Sighing in frustration that the healer wasn't telling him anything new Harry snapped, "I know what I brought her in for how is she doing now". Harry growls out looking towards Malfoy and receiving a similar "your not helping" look from Malfoy this time. Giving the same response as shrugging his shoulders with a bashful smile Harry continue's to look at the healer.

"Miss Gran...Mrs Malfoy I mean" the healer squeaked in correction. "Had a significant blow to the back of her skull. The snow she was found in actually helped to reduce the swelling to the wound and brain while also slowing the blood flow. We were able to clean and heal the area with little to no scaring." The healer looks to both men before he begins again. "She is still unconscious at this time and suffering from a slight concussion and mild hypothermia. We won't know the full damage she may have incurred from the injury to her brain until the swelling goes down or until she wakes"

"What do mean damage to the brain?" Harry questions quickly.

As the same time of Harry question, "When and will she wake up?" Draco spits out in question to the healer.

Nodding his head, which could be either confirmation to one or both of their questions or the onset of another round of bobble head syndrome. The healer looks between the two men to decide who to answer first.

The chosen one first he decided.

"Miss Gran...Mrs Malfoy" he squeaked in correction again. "She was fortunate on where she was injured at the back of the skull in a sense compared to more fragile area's of the skull. If there was any damage done we believe it will be her memory that will be affected to some extent. Any memory lose will most likely be temporary we also believe. We have already ran several test and found her brain to be functioning at normal healthy levels." The healer clear's his throat to garner courage for the next part. "Despite the physical evidence we found on the patient, we believe she fell and was not pushed when her head injury occurred. The force of the impact will have significant influence on any permanent damage for any head injury. It is only when the swelling is reduced that she will be considered in stable condition and we can get a full understanding if any other damage was done when she awakes." The healer advises them.

Growling Draco level's the healer with a stare. "What do you mean despite physical evidence? What evidence?"

Shaking a little while continuing to bob his head the healer looks towards Draco. "We found there was some minor bruising on her upper left arm, and her top had evidence of being torn as well as missing several buttons." The healer quickly squeaked out.

"Bloody Weasel" Draco snarls.

Shaking his head at the information just provided Harry looks Malfoy right in the eyes, "When she wakes we will talk to Hermione to find out what happened and then we will deal with Ron." Harry advises Malfoy with a tilt to his voice portraying it a promise.

"That's if she even remembers, you heard yourself there is a chance her memory will be effected." Draco growls out to Harry. "We don't know if she will wake up," Draco then turns his attention to the healer. "That is until Healer bobble head graces us with answering my first bloody question," He growls out.

Hearing a squeak from the healer in response to Draco's growl Harry looks to Draco in curiosity, "how do you know what a bobble head is Malfoy?"

Giving Harry a irritated look Draco shrugs his shoulder, "My brought us to the muggle world and showed us a few things. Her father owned a whole Ruby team of them."

Harry looks at Malfoy baffled until understanding clearly dawned on him. "Ohhh, you mean Rugby team?"

Growling towards Harry this time Malfoy snaps, "does it really bloody matter Potter, can we let Healer bobble head continue or would you like to delve deeper into the other muggle things My has shown me instead of finding out if she is ever going to fucking wake up." Draco snarls out to Harry

Swalloring audibily the healer consitraites on Harry waiting for a sign to continue.

Grinning abashed Harry looks to Malfoy, "Sorry Malfoy, your right." Clearing his throat he looks to the healer, "Please continue healer Bobbl...healer Briggins" Harry corrects himself cringing a little at his error and Malfoys snicker at his mistake.

Clearing his throat the healer who now had his focus on the floor instead of either intimidating men answers "We are quite positive that she will wake up on her own accord." Hearing a sigh of relief from both men he continues. "However due to her current condition we believe she would benefit from being induced into a magical coma." The healer quickly finishes hearing a gasp from both men.

Harry quickly looks to the healer in shock, "Induce a magical coma, why? There has to be a better course of action then that? isn't that dangerous?" he questions looking at the healer while glancing to Malfoy to see him sitting with his head bowed and eyes closed.

Nodding his head in confirmation, "There are risks in inducing someone into a magical coma but we strongly believe that due to her condition she would benefit from the coma more then she would be at risk. She needs to be able to regulate her body heat, reduce swelling to her brain and heal in a controlled environment. We feel that if she was to put anymore stress on her body that her condition would greatly suffer. "Clearing his throat and turning his attention from Harry he continued. "We need your permission to induce her into a magical coma though Mr. Malfoy." The healer final states while looking directly and the dejected Draco Malfoy.

"What do you mean condition" Harry questions still a little baffled

The healer shuffles from foot to foot while giving hesitant looks to Harry while waiting for a que from Draco on wether he should continue and answer Harry's question.

Sighing and focusing his attention to the healer, Draco asks him while looking and sounding in great pain "She is isn't she?"

Excessively nodding his head the healer confirms Draco statement. "Yes she is approximately just over three weeks gestation so just one week conception. In most cases we wouldn't have even known of a pregnancy this early as it doesn't show up on our preliminary examinations approximately until later in the fourth to fifth week including gestation. Due to the type and amount of fertility potions we found in her system..."

"What do you mean fertility potions?" Draco interrupted with a growl.

Shaking his head in disagreement Harry speaks up "Hermione would never take those." he defends her to Malfoy, "she compulsive about taking her regulation potion she calls it, which is a monthly contraceptive potion." Looking back to the healer he adds, "she even took it monthly when we where living in a tent. She would never take a fertility potion, she is not that type of girl."

Nodding his head in understand the healer quickly speaks up, "that would explain the significant high doses she had in her system as well as the type of potion if she wasn't taking it voluntarily." Clearing his throat he adds, "it is a rather rare and unusual fertility potion compared to the one's we normal see in patients trying to conceive."

"You mean someone has been feeding her the potion?" Harry ask while giving Malfoy an angry glare. "How did you know she might be pregnant Malfoy?" Harry asks while taking a step towards him in confrontation.

Standing straight up while looking down to Harry, Malfoy glares back "You need to back off Potter. I would never do that to anyone, especially not My." Running his hand through his hair in frustration of having to inform Harry of some things before he was ready, Malfoy takes a deep breath. Exhaling loudly he looks to Harry, "I will give you the short version but I would prefer to speak with Hermione about everything before anyone else finds out. Only because you are her best friend and I respect her relationship with you am I even telling you this. I expect that the information I tell you does not leave this room, she deserves to know first." Draco gives Harry a look that said he was deadly serious while also looking to the healer to acquire the same commitment is confidentiality.

Scoffing at the thought of betraying Hermione, Harry quickly reassures him that he understands. "Of course Malfoy, I would never divulge anything that would hurt Hermione in anyway."

Nodding in confidence that Harry would not repeat anything and taking the bobbing of the healer as agreement also, he begins. "I went to see Hermione the day before she was to head to the Burrow. Right before I arrived she had been going through some of her parents boxes. Needless to say she found evidence that she was adopted by the Grangers." Running his hand through his hair again he continues while giving Harry an imploring look. "In contrast of what rumors at Hogwarts state I am not as slutty as everyone thinks. We were unaware that Hermione was not a muggleborn and probably My had an inaccurate assumption of me being experienced. The night before our departure from Hogwarts we lost our virginities together and we unknowingly activated the pureblood curse together."

"Wholly shit" Harry gaps.

"As you have probably been told the pureblood curse causes the inability to use contraceptive by magical means," Draco continues. "When I figured out this morning about the curse via the marks, I also realized later that day that Hermione potion she informed me she takes was a contraceptive by magical means." Draco advised while letting out another breath of air in a sigh. "That is how I came to the conclusion that there was a possibility of her becoming pregnant." Draco shakes his head at the next thought. "She probably doesn't even know she is a pureblood or that we have bonded yet." I will explain more later, but like I said I would prefer to discuss everything with Hermione first," he finishes with a gulp while looking towards the empty corner in thought.

Harry remained silent for a while processing the information he had just received while the healer bounced back and forth from foot to foot while bobbing his head in understanding.

Clearing his throat to get the two men's attention the healer looks to Draco. "I understand Mr. Malfoy that it is a upsetting time, but the faster I can send confirmation in inducing the magical coma the faster she can heal and the safer it will be for them all."

Snapping back into attention Harry looks to the healer. "What are the risks of inducing her into a magical coma?"

"The biggest risk with inducing a person into a coma is dependent at the duration of the coma" Seeing the confused look of the two men the healer continues. "The longer a patient is induced in the coma the higher the risk is for that patient to wake naturally once the magical coma state is lifted."

Clearing his throat Draco looks to the healer, "How long do you plan to keep her in a magical coma state?"

"We believe only 48 hours will be needed to stabilize her condition anything longer puts her at a higher risk to remain in a comatose state." Looking between the men the healer continues. "I understand your fears, we believe though that the risk of her suffering from a miscarriage are much greater if she is allowed to wake and heal natural. She is at the early stages of her pregnancy when things are extremely fragile."

Both Harry and Draco look to each other displaying equal looks of uncertainty.

Seeing their shared look the healer decides to be completely forthright with the two very intimidating men. Clearing his throat to garner the attention again he looks directly at them making clear eye contact with each man. "At this time her body is trying to reduce the swelling on her brain, heal the strain her neck would have suffered on impact as well as the damage from the impact, control and raise her body temperature from a mild hypothermia state while maintaining the fragile state of her pregnancy." The healer tells the men while watching their reaction to make sure he was being understood.

Both men looked pale and frightened at the grave decision they now faced.

Clearing his throat the healer finishes. "If she is not induced into a magical coma we are not confident of the survival of the fetus's."
