p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"It was a beautiful summer morning, the golden early light streamed though one of the opened glass windows, onto Harry Potter's slowly awakening face. His eyes gently fluttered open and he released a long heavy sigh, he turned his head to where his love normally lay asleep. But it was a Monday morning so he knew that meant Quidditch practice for his husband. He sat up slowly and noticed the post-it note on his bedside table, he leaned over and picked it up smiling at the scrawled handwriting which he loved so much. The small note read "morning babe, gone to practice. Back soon." Then a little heart clumsily drew as a full stop. Harry Potter beamed his heart happy and content as he swung his legs over the side of the bed and got up. He walked slowly into the bathroom and turned on the shower, turning it down to a warmer temperature from what Victor normally had it as. He slipped off his pyjamas and took off his glasses that he had put on to read the note. Then stepped into the warm water, he stood there for a few seconds just reflecting on the brilliant life he had, he sighed happily and ran his hands though his now wet hair. He squirted a small amount of shampoo into his palm and gently massaged his scalp working in the product. The water then washed this away, he then turned off the shower and started to dry himself off with a white towel he had placed on the towel rack. Once throughly dried he emerged into there shared bedroom, he put his glasses back on and pulled on some loose fitting sweatpants, and a large jersey that was really Victors but that he knew Harry loved dearly. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"After I had gotten dressed I came out of our bedroom and down the stairs and I walked the large hallway to the kitchen. We lived in one of Victors families large houses, more like a mansion but I didn't like to think of it like that. Victims family was wealthy and my husband himself made more than enough money due to being the best seeker in the world. I myself had become and aurora, I loved it. I was so happy I found a job I loved, Ron had also decided to become an aurora whereas his wife and one of my best friends Hermione had pursued a now very successful career in the ministry of magic. I pulled my wand from my pocket and tapped the stove, it sprung to life and I began to make breakfast, I enjoyed cooking, it soothed me, it helped me remember the smaller things in life could still be simple and easy. As I cracked eggs into the pan I checked the time, Victor normally returned from practice at 11am, but it was 11:30am now..I frowned this was unusual but I just brushed the feeling off thinking everything would be fine. Minutes ticked by and I grew more and more worried, I found myself chewing on my lip as I plated up scrambled eggs for myself and my husband who hadn't returned. I began to tap my foot when our house elf Amelia appeared beside me, she noticed something was wrong instantly and I watched her expression turned from a happy smile to a concerned frown. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Is something wrong Sir?" She asked and moved closer, I sighed and pushed my eggs around in my plate the worrying feeling growing in a pit in my stomach. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes..Victor isn't home yet, I'm worried something has happened to him." I said not really making eye contact as my brain ran every possible scenario of what could have gone wrong./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you like me to attempt to locate him sir?" Emily asked politely and I nodded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes, yes please do that." I replied nervously and she nodded, she then proceeded to disappear with elegance. I sat nervously tapping my foot again, until I decided I couldn't stand waiting even though it had been only a mere few minutes. I pushed back from the table and stood up, I busied myself by making a steaming cup of tea. Emily re-appeared beside me once more and I relaxed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""He is a few minutes away sir." Emily smiled and I relaxed greatly, practice must of just ran long which is all. I stirred my tea as I poured in a little milk, I walked over to one of the huge windows and smiled as I saw Victor driving down to the front of our house. I smiled at his car, at first in our relationship I was always surprised about the fact he didn't just fly everywhere. But then I learnt how exhausting his training can be so he prefers to drive, it's easier and relaxing. I put down my tea and quickly moved to the front door just as he opened it wide. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Babe." I smiled and engulfed him in a large hug, his strong arms held me against his chest, my heart relaxed as he held me, I felt him bury his head into my neck and I smiled. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm sorry I'm late, ran into some troubled at practice." He replied in his low, husky voice. It traveled though my body causing nothing but joy./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What kind of trouble?." I asked and I pulled away gently, I closed the door behind him as he stepped inside and pulled off his heavy fur coat. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Just coach telling us about our next match which caused a fight between some of the guys over tactics." He said softly as we walked though into the kitchen, I noticed something as we walked along the hallway. It was the slight hitch in his breath as he stepped down on his left foot, the slight inconsistency in his step, the way he seemed a little more protective of his right side than his left by the way he walked. As we reached the kitchen I turned on my heel and looked him up and down still in his quidditch robes. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Your injured." I stated and crossed my arms as he seemed to fake surprise which was slightly cute at his attempt to Avoid my statement./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What? were did you get that from?" He replied faking shock once more but failing miserably. I moved closer to him and sighed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I've been married to you for 4 years, you can't fool me." I said and he looked down now he was definitely protecting his right side, I frowned and really gently reached out slowly touching his rib cage. He winced painfully and bit his lip, now I knew this was bad./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What happened?" I asked gently and slowly pulled the bottom of his quidditch shirt up, a large purple bruise was settling in over his ribs. I gasped when I had fully pulled his top up exposing his hard abs but still the bruise was more shocking./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""One of the beaters wasn't paying attention during training and I got hit by a Bludger, I came off my broom but Harry honey I'm okay really." Victor explained but I just frowned and kept expecting his rib cage, I could feel a few fractures and definitely at least two breaks. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""How far did you fall?" I asked my voice soft and laced with concern as I met his eyes, his dark eyes met mine and he opened up completely./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""30-40 feet…I think." He replied trying to remember, I gasped./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""30-40 feet?! Victor you could have been killed!" I raised my voice concerned and he I felt his arms go to my waist in an attempt to calm me down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Baby I'm okay. Coach did a cushioning charm so it slowed my fall but not much." He kept explaining meeting my eyes as I gently pulled down his shirt./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Go have a shower, I need to write to someone." I said and he nodded pulling away, I already missed his touch. I watched as he walked to our bedroom, limping slightly as he protected his rib cage. I sighed and turned back to the kitchen table, I pulled out some parchment an ink and I sat down at the table. I began to write dripping my Quill in the ink./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"emDear Hermione,/em/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"emHermione, I hate to ask for this but I know you have quite a few connects of doctors and healers at St Mungo's hospital. The reason I ask is because Victor has an important match in two days and he was injured badly in training today. He was hit by a bludger and then came off his broom falling at least 30 feet. I'm worried Hermione, my medical knowledge isn't much and I have felt his rib cage, I can feel definitely 3 fractures and 2 breaks. Could you possibly put me in contact with a doctor ASAP? I just need to make sure he is alright even if that means he can't play the Semi-finals, but I know he would be crushed not to play. Could you also let Ron know that I most likely won't be into work today or tomorrow? /em/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"I finished write and I folded the parchment up, as if on que victors dark owl flew inside and landed on the table. I quickly attached the letter to his leg and the fight bird took off out the window at top speed sensing the letter was rather urgent. I stood up from the table and quickly went up stairs to check on my husband, I entered our large bedroom and I heard the shower turn off. I waited a little while then Victor emerged, a towel rapped around his waist exposing all of his tense muscles, but also exposed the large bruising which marred his side. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""It's not as bad as it look , love I promise." Victor attempted to reassure as I moved closer to his chest, I gently laid a hand around the bruising causing him to wince./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Try to get some sweatpants on I'm going to grab some medical supplies." I replied and started to walk toward our dresser where I always kept a medical kit when I felt his large hands grab my wrist pulling me back toward him. Before I knew what was happening his soft lips crashed into mine, my free hand went up to his short hair as our kissed deepened. I was lost in the kiss until I remembered what I was supposed to be doing. I pulled away gently and I felt Victor grumble a little wanting me close again. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you." He said softly and pushed his forehead against mine, I smiled softly and I pulled away and grabbed the medical kit on the dresser. I turned around and saw Victor wincing as he pulled on some sweatpants./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Honey, go lie down." I replied gently and he nodded slowly laying down, his pained expression broke my heart and I sat down on my side of the bed. A small groan escaped his lips as he laid down fully. I pulled out and ice pack from the medical kit and gently applied it to his side. He winced but then soon relaxed into the cold, refreshing compress. I added another which rested across his rib cage, now the bruise was much less exposed. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Don't you have to get to work?" Victor mumbles softly, his eyes closed, some might say he looked relaxed but I knew he was really fighting pain./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No, I've written to Hermione and she will tell Ron, I won't be in today or tomorrow." I replied and gently stroked his short hair in an attempt to help relax him. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Why?" He asked softly leaning into my touch and I chuckled softly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""To take care of you." I replied and gently massaged his shoulder with my free hand, I knew that this was his bad shoulder from where he had picked up an injury years ago. He let out a small moan and I smiled softly relieved he was relaxing a little./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""But I'm fine Harry." He whined softly and attempted to push himself up, I placed a firm hand on his chest to keep him laying down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No your not. If you want to recover in time for the match in two days you need to rest." I replied gently but with enough force for him to understand. He was about to reply when a small tapping noise came from the window and I saw Victors owl hovering outside. I cast a charm and the window flew open allowing Victors large owl to come inside, it dropped a letter onto my lap and then went and sat on the dresser. I eagerly opened the letter instantly recognising Hermione's neat and perfect writing./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Who's that from?" Victor asked having pushed himself up on his elbows to get a better look, he didn't seem to be in a lot of pain so I resisted telling him to lay back down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hermione." I replied simply and I opened the letter and folded out the parchment./p

His name is Dr Calvin Smith, he is a brilliant doctor and specialises in sports injures. Honestly he is very nice guy and very good job. I've told him your location and he will arrive at 12:30pm approximately. Trust him okay? I know you find it difficult trusting strangers with people you love especially Victor but this guy is incredible and I consider him a close friend of mine. If you need any help at all, Ron and I and very willing to be here and help as always. We will see you at the match in two days assuming Victor is allowed to play, if not we will come by anyway and we can catch up. /em/p

I felt him take my hand gently and press it to his lips which I smiled at./p

I said as I stood up and proceeded to leave our room, I heard a chuckle come from the bed as I left and moved quickly down the stairs. I jogged down the hallway and to the front door, I opened it wide. A man about my height with sandy blond hair and kind but yet smart blue eyes stood at my doorstep. He carried a large briefcase and wore glasses,/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Mr Potter, it really is an honour to meet you, I'm Dr Smith." He smiled warmly and extended his hand for a handshake, I smiled and shook it firmly./p

I replied and lead the doctor though into the bedroom, I laid my eyes on Victor who thank god had stayed laying down, he smiled as I entered and the doctor moved over his bedside in very professional manor./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hello Mr krum, I'm Dr Smith, could you tell me what happened this morning at practice.?" He asked his voice gentle but serious, I sat down beside Victor and took his larger hands in mine. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We were doing some drills and one of the beaters wasn't paying attention and a bludger hit me in the side,I was knocked off my broom sideways and I fell I think about 30-40 feet, one of the coaches cast a cushioning spell so I didn't hit the ground to hard but I still managed to land quite hard." Victor explain as I sat by his side running my thumb over his hand, the doctor stood beside him listening intently. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes that's fine." Victor replied and I saw him slowly brace for some pain, i massaged his hand and slowly intertwined his fingers with mine as the doctor pulled on some gloves. He slowly leant down and felt along the side of his bruised rib cage. Victor winced and bit his lip squeezing my hand, I gently kissed the top of his hand and he forced a small smile of reassurance as the doctor felt his bruised right side of his rib cage. After several minutes the doctor pulled away./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Well I can confirm you have 2 fractured ribs and 1 broken rib. I will need to wrap up the rib cage to keep them secure, unfortunately for broken ribs there isn't much there can be done until waiting for them to heal." The doctor explained and opened his brief case pulling different materials out from it./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you mind sitting up?" The doctor asked and victor shook his head as I helped him sit into an upright position, he bit back a groan of pain but seemed to stay upright, I kept one arm around his midsection to help him stay up. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Will I be able to play for the semi-finals in two days?" Victor asked as the doctor took out a bottle of ointment and began to rub it into his damaged ribs, at first he wince painfully but then relaxed slightly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hmmm I'm not sure, it depends on how quickly your body heals." The doctor replied and began to carefully wrap bandages around his rib cage. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Please Doc, I have to play." Victor protesting wincing painfully as he wrapped the bandages over his ribs to help secure them in place. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I mean I guess you could but you would need to be really careful when playing. But no training up until the match." The doctor said cautiously and taped the bandages down then pulled away. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much doc." Victor gushed smiling happy he would be able to play in two days time. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Don't worry Dr Smith I will make sure he rests." I reassured the doctor as he put away the rest of the bandages./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm going to check for possible concussion just as a precaution." The doctor explained and pulled out a small torch. He began to check Victors eye's reactions, my love slowly leant more into me and I could tell he was getting tired from all these tests. The doctor pulled away and packed up his briefcase./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Well all seems fine there, I can clear you to play in two days on the proviso that you rest up until then." The doctor explained and victor nodded then leaned his head into my neck, exhausted from earlier training and now the tests. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Sorry Dr Smith he is just tired." I answered for him and I ran my hands though his shortly cut hair that I loved so much./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""That's alright I understand. It's a pleasure to meet you both." The doctor smiled kindly picking up his briefcase and I leant out my free hand to shake his./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much for coming, I really appreciate it. How much do I owe you?" I asked pulling out my wand to summon some money, but before I could the doctor spoke./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No really, no charge, you both have done enough for the Magical community." The doctor said kindly and pulled out his wand to disappear./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Wow thank you." I replied and I smiled widely holding Victor into me. /p

He smiled and then disappeared from the room, I smiled to myself thinking that Hermione was right. He wasn't bad at all, he was actually very kind. I turned my attention to Victor who had fallen asleep into my side, I slowly and very carefully laid him down back on the bed and fixed the pillows around him so he would hopefully be more comfortable. I kissed his forehead softly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Sleep well love." /p

I smiled and snuggled into his warm embrace being careful of his still healing rib cage, I slowly rolled out of his arms and put on my glasses. I quickly checked the time and I found it was about 9:00am, I knew Victor had to be a the ground in 2 hours which was a good amount of time. I rolled back over and gently kissed Victors cheek, he stirred under my touch as I slowly caressed the side of his face. His eyes slowly fluttered open and I smiled loving the look of his dark but yet beautiful eyes, he leaned down and gently pecked my lips lingering for a few seconds before pulling away./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Morning babe." I spoke softly and I smiled as he kissed his way down my neck. I couldn't help myself as a soft moan escaped my lips, I felt his huge muscles tense and push me down onto the bed as kissed my neck. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Victor, you need to get ready for the match." I said softly pushing very gently in his rock hard chest which wouldn't budge in the slightest./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Five more minutes." He mumbled and he sucked on my neck which I knew would leave a cute little bruise, I chuckled softly and attempted to push against him again even though all I wanted was for us to stay here all day, curled in bed together…all day. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Babe come on, I need to wrap your ribs again." I protested finally making eyes contact and he pulled away sighing. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Ok ok fine."he replied finally giving up, he sat up with minimal pain. I rubbed his back and grabbed an ointment Dr Smith had left for us to help with the pain and for quicker recovery. I stood up and moved around to Victors front, we were both only in boxers and I could see his morning erection which made me smirk slightly. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Eyes are up here babe." He replied smirking back and I shook my head smiling. I poured some of the ointment into my palm, I leant down and slowly rubbed it in his bruised rib cage. It looked better I knew the rest had done the injury good, he let a small moan come from his lips out of pleasure. I grabbed the bandages from the bedside table but Victors hand stopped, me./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you mind putting some of the ointment on my shoulder? It's just sore and I don't want it acting up during the match today." He asked nicely looking consciously toward his left shoulder./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No of course I wouldn't mind babe." I smiled pouring some more of the ointment into my palms and gently massaging it into his large muscled shoulder. I grabbed the bandages and after a few moments I was done and his rib cage was fully secure. I noticed Victor looking outside at the pouring rain which judging by how fast it was pouring the wind was strong. I helped him to his feet and he didn't wince which was a good sign. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""It's gonna be a tuff match today." He said and moved over to our wardrobe to put on his match uniform, I smiled and leant against the bed post. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""You can do it." I encourage as he put his uniform into his bag which he would change into later, he kept his broom with his coaches but that was good because then he wouldn't have to carry it around. I went over to our dresser and pulled out some clothes to where the match , casual jeans and a large jersey which said "Krum 01." On the back. I wore this to every match. I pulled on my outfit and turned around, I watched my husband sling his bag onto his back a get ready to leave. He would eat breakfast that their nutrition coach prepares for them. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I love that jersey on you." He said softly as I walked over to him, I blushed a little and moved my hands to around his neck, his hands went to my hips and I smiled./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Good luck out there today." I smiled and gently kissed his plush soft lips. We both began to walk to the front door, I was going to meet Hermione and Ron at the ground an hour before the game but Victor always had to be at the ground early to prepare. I opened the door and Victors car was luckily parked out front, he smiled back at me before he stepped outside./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I love you, please be safe out there today." I said standing by the door./p

He smiled back and I chuckled as he blushed a little, I gently touched his arm concerned about the play today. Before I knew it I was swept into his strong arms and his lips captured mine, I smiled and kissed him deeper, he slowly bit my bottom lip begging for entrance which I granted eagerly. Our tongues wildly played with each other , passion radiating from our bodies as I ran my hands though his hair. After several minutes we broke apart gasping for air, I couldn't seem to wipe the smile off my face nether could he. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Now go kick some Irish Ass." I smirked which caused him to laugh./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Will do." He smirked and laughed as he ran out into the rain and into the his car. I watch him drive away in the pouring rain. I could stop smiling as I closed the door behind him, I just hoped that today's game would go well but I hoped more that my husband would be ok. /p

Wow the atmosphere was electric, so many people dressed in ether white and green the Irish colours or black and maroon the Bulgarian colours. I smiled music was blaring out from everywhere and people where drinking, laughing and just having fun. I started to look for Hermione and Ron when I heard my name being called from my left. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Harry?!" It was a female voice and I swivelled to my left to see Hermione and Ron pushing there way though the crowd to get to me. I moved quickly towards them and engulfed them in a huge hug./p

I laughed as we were gripped in a tight embrace. We pulled away all laughing just with the joy of purely seeing each other even though I saw Ron a lot due to work we didn't really get to talk all personal stuff. After several minutes of small talk and They had lead me to their tent which was huge on the inside, I smiled as I walked inside. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""So how are the kids?" I asked excitedly as Ron handed me a large Butter-beer, I gratefully took it and slipped some. /p

It's hard, they can be very frustrating at times and the require some much attention, Harry this is parenting thing isn't easy. I read book about it but I never thought it would be so so hard."

Ron cut in and I smiled it was time to watch my husband kick some Irish ass. We got to the ground pretty quickly because of Victor I have my own private box which obviously Hermione and Ron and coming into me with. When We get in big crowds we often have to be careful because people will try to swarm up to us. Normally it's to thank us and congratulate us about killing Voldemort but sometimes it gets out of hand. We snuck though the crowd and got to our box safely which was a relief, the guards outside closed the door behind us and I moved out the balcony. The atmosphere was incredible, buzzing as the teams flew in when the Bulgarians flew in it reminded me so much of the time when I had first watched a professional quidditch game. It was amazing apart from what followed afterwards but I remember the first time I was saw Victor play. So much had changed, for the best. I watched Victor fly into the grounds he looked like and eagle a powerful, graceful eagle. The whole stadium was chanting "Krum." And I could see the happiness on his face. This was his home away from home. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""There he is." I smirked happily and Ron and Hermione joined me at the balcony. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"Possession was gained first by the Bulgarians and they took off towards the goals. The chasers on the Irish team where dirty players but had good ideas, they cornered in the Bulgarian chasers forcing them away from the goal posts. Possession was turned over because one of Irish beaters rammed into the Bulgarian chaser forcing her to drop the ball. My husband flew high above play staying out the way waiting, but also searching for the snitch. About half an hour passed an the score was 400-500 to the Bulgarians, the Irish had attempted to take out one of the Bulgarian chasers with a bludger. He had been knocked off his broom and plummeted at least 80 feet towards the ground. Victor who was hovering above play, saw his friend plummet to the ground and made a nose drive towards him at full speed. My heart stopped as I watched Victor drive down after his teammate, a few heart stopping seconds later Victor grabbed his teammate and pulled out of the nose drive and dropped him back to his broom. The whole crowd cheered exhilarated by Victors save./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Oh my god I can't believe he pulled that off." Ron gushed beside me, gawking after him as he flew back up high to search for the snitch. /p

I whispered softly still in shock from what my husband just did. Nobody has attempted that I don't think , ever and he just pulled it off. My heart was hammering in my chest as Bulgaria scored again. I watched Victor up high in the air, then I saw it. He saw something and he drove towards it with impossible speed. The other teams speaker had however caught on to Victors movements and I saw him do a hand signal to the rest of his team before speeding off after Victor. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""They are up to something." Hermione said beside me as we watched tensely when Victor reached out his hand to grip the snitch when the whole Irish team blocked him in physically. The Bulgarian team saw what was going on an started to beat the bludgers that the Irish members of the team to try and distract them away from Victor. I watched as Victor realised he couldn't go anywhere so he went underneath and dropped out from the cage the had him caught it, the crowd cheered as he continued faster after the snitch. He flew directly vertically upwards after the snitch closely followed by the Irish seeker. Then he turned around completely and started into a huge death drop after the snitch, they were plummeting at an alarming rate, dangerously so, I wanted to step in I almost couldn't bare to watch. But then he pulled up holding up his arm and relief came over me as the camera showed the snitch grasped in his hand. The whole stadium erupted into cheers and I couldn't help but cheer myself, I hugged Ron and Hermione. My heart bursting with pride, I turned back to the pitch to see the Irish team hit a bludger hard at Victor, before he could react it hit him straight in the chest knocking him clear off his broom. My heart visibly stopped as I watched my husband crash hard into the ground. Before I knew it I was screaming and tears fell from my eyes, I was running, no, sprinting from my box and I sprinted down the stairs, I knew how to get onto the grounds, I had been here before . guards stood at the entrance but when they saw it was me they didn't do a thing to stop me as I sprinted though. My heart was plummeting as I saw my husband, the love of my life laying on the pitch unmoving. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Victor!" I raced towards him as the Bulgarian team landed around him some of them were off fighting the guy who hit the bludger at him. They instantly parted for me as I skidded to the ground beside him. My vision blurred with salty tears as my eyes looked on the horror before me. My husband lay on the pitch blood staining some grass around him, I could see a gash on his forehead which was bleeding badly and under his robes I could see blood. I held his upper body close to me cradling his head as I sobbed, his skin paling dramatically from blood loss. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Oh my god Victor…no." I was barely aware of the tears that poured down my face. I didn't even notice as a whole medical team started pushing me back. /p

I yelled and I struggled against a few of the medical team as they pulled me away from my husband. I couldn't control the sobs that escaped my mouth, my eyes never left him as medics started to attempt to get him stabilised. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We need to get him to St Mungo's immediately!" One of the many medics yelled and they prepared to apparate. Before I knew what had happened all the medics were gone and Victor had gone with them. I was left alone..without victor in the middle of a quidditch pitch sobbing my eyes out in front of hundreds of thousands of people…I felt Hermione and Ron drop down beside me./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm so sorry Harry. I promise it's going to be okay." Hermione replied and I could barely meet her eyes, I noticed she was crying also./p

Ron's voice of reason rang in my ears, I turned to my other side to see Ron, he held out his wand ready to apperate. I nodded slowly and I felt the strong pull of apperation and I opened my eyes, we stood at the entrance to St Mungo's hospital. I didn't waste anytime before I ran inside pushing open the doors as I went though. The nurse at the front desk didn't even need to ask she knew who I was and who had just been brought in. /p

I stuttered and I went to go sit down in one of the waiting room chairs, Ron and Hermione close behind me. Nobody said anything to shocked and to upset to even think about what to do now. Hermione was sobbing in Ron's shoulder as I sat in my chair my foot tapping nervously. The tears had stopped flowing now, there was just now dried lines on my face. All I could think about was Victor...everything about him..the time he proposed to me, the happiest moment of my life. Oh my god, my heart ached. I loved him so much I couldn't bare to lose him../p

They left about an hour ago, I still sat in the waiting room…alone..my head in my hands which were tainted with my loving husbands blood./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Mr Potter?" Somebody called and my head shot up, a doctor in a long white coat stood before me. I stood up meeting his gaze, I couldn't read his emotions which made my heart pound out of my chest. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes..that's me. How is he?" I asked my foot still tapping nervously on the ground./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm Dr Green, Mr Krums surgeon. I have to say your husband is incredibly lucky. The bludger which hit Mr Krum broke 4 ribs and fractured 3, it then cut the skin badly from where it made impact. When hit the ground, the fall punctured one of his lungs due to the broken ribs, it also gave him a large concussion but luckily all the damage he sustained was able to be fixed. There is no permanent damage, luckily and he will expected to make a full recovery in about 2 weeks, this is due to new technology of our magical healers." The doctor finished and I swear I could have fainted with relief. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Can I see him?" I asked desperately and the doctor nodded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Room 103." The doctor replied and I wanted to run into that room right this second./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much doctor green." I said before I hastily walked off in search of the room. It took me a couple of minutes to find the room but when I did I bursted inside. I quickly moved over to the side of the bed and I took in the sight of my husband. He looked pale, he was shirtless and I could see the mass of bandages spread across his chest, a bandage was also wrapped around his head from his head wound./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Oh god vic…" I whispered and sunk down into a chair by his beside, I couldn't help myself and I took his larger hand in mine, I kissed his hand gently and rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Honey..Please…wake up.." I mumbled softly holding his hand tightly but not to tight that it would cause him pain. I watched his handsome face as his eyes fluttered, he stirred slightly and I reached my hand up to his face. He let out a soft moan and his eyes slowly opened, I could see the confusion in his face. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Where am I?" He asked his voice dry and raspy, I looked around for some water and I found some on the nightstand next to his bed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""St Mungo's hospital honey." I replied and I began to poured some water in a glass from a full jug. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What happened?" He asked his voice dry, I handed him the glass of water which he shakily took and drank./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""You caught the snitch then an Irish beater beat a bludger into you and it knocked you clean off your broom, you fell over 90 feet and hit the ground hard…" I explained and he handed me back the now empty glass of water. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We won though right?" He asked his voice clearer now, I chuckled softly he cared so much about his job which he loved. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes Bulgaria won…the finals are in about a month I think." I replied softly and he reached out for my hand which I gladly took./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What's the damage?" He asked and met my gaze as I massaged his palm. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""3 fractured ribs and 4 broken ribs , punctured lung and a pretty bad concussion." I listed off his injures and it sunk into me that my husband was lucky to be alive./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm so sorry.." Victor spoke softly his head low./p

Victor trailer off not meet my eyes and I frowned, I got up and sat by his side on the bed, still gripping his hand./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I understand if you don't want to come to my games anymore." He added sadly, my hand went to the side of his face forcing him to meet my gaze./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No matter what happens to you, I will always be there to support you. Always." I smiled and I leant down and kissed his forehead. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"After I had gotten dressed I came out of our bedroom and down the stairs and I walked the large hallway to the kitchen. We lived in one of Victors families large houses, more like a mansion but I didn't like to think of it like that. Victims family was wealthy and my husband himself made more than enough money due to being the best seeker in the world. I myself had become and aurora, I loved it. I was so happy I found a job I loved, Ron had also decided to become an aurora whereas his wife and one of my best friends Hermione had pursued a now very successful career in the ministry of magic. I pulled my wand from my pocket and tapped the stove, it sprung to life and I began to make breakfast, I enjoyed cooking, it soothed me, it helped me remember the smaller things in life could still be simple and easy. As I cracked eggs into the pan I checked the time, Victor normally returned from practice at 11am, but it was 11:30am now..I frowned this was unusual but I just brushed the feeling off thinking everything would be fine. Minutes ticked by and I grew more and more worried, I found myself chewing on my lip as I plated up scrambled eggs for myself and my husband who hadn't returned. I began to tap my foot when our house elf Amelia appeared beside me, she noticed something was wrong instantly and I watched her expression turned from a happy smile to a concerned frown. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Is something wrong Sir?" She asked and moved closer, I sighed and pushed my eggs around in my plate the worrying feeling growing in a pit in my stomach. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes..Victor isn't home yet, I'm worried something has happened to him." I said not really making eye contact as my brain ran every possible scenario of what could have gone wrong./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you like me to attempt to locate him sir?" Emily asked politely and I nodded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes, yes please do that." I replied nervously and she nodded, she then proceeded to disappear with elegance. I sat nervously tapping my foot again, until I decided I couldn't stand waiting even though it had been only a mere few minutes. I pushed back from the table and stood up, I busied myself by making a steaming cup of tea. Emily re-appeared beside me once more and I relaxed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""He is a few minutes away sir." Emily smiled and I relaxed greatly, practice must of just ran long which is all. I stirred my tea as I poured in a little milk, I walked over to one of the huge windows and smiled as I saw Victor driving down to the front of our house. I smiled at his car, at first in our relationship I was always surprised about the fact he didn't just fly everywhere. But then I learnt how exhausting his training can be so he prefers to drive, it's easier and relaxing. I put down my tea and quickly moved to the front door just as he opened it wide. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Babe." I smiled and engulfed him in a large hug, his strong arms held me against his chest, my heart relaxed as he held me, I felt him bury his head into my neck and I smiled. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm sorry I'm late, ran into some troubled at practice." He replied in his low, husky voice. It traveled though my body causing nothing but joy./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What kind of trouble?." I asked and I pulled away gently, I closed the door behind him as he stepped inside and pulled off his heavy fur coat. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Just coach telling us about our next match which caused a fight between some of the guys over tactics." He said softly as we walked though into the kitchen, I noticed something as we walked along the hallway. It was the slight hitch in his breath as he stepped down on his left foot, the slight inconsistency in his step, the way he seemed a little more protective of his right side than his left by the way he walked. As we reached the kitchen I turned on my heel and looked him up and down still in his quidditch robes. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Your injured." I stated and crossed my arms as he seemed to fake surprise which was slightly cute at his attempt to Avoid my statement./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What? were did you get that from?" He replied faking shock once more but failing miserably. I moved closer to him and sighed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I've been married to you for 4 years, you can't fool me." I said and he looked down now he was definitely protecting his right side, I frowned and really gently reached out slowly touching his rib cage. He winced painfully and bit his lip, now I knew this was bad./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What happened?" I asked gently and slowly pulled the bottom of his quidditch shirt up, a large purple bruise was settling in over his ribs. I gasped when I had fully pulled his top up exposing his hard abs but still the bruise was more shocking./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""One of the beaters wasn't paying attention during training and I got hit by a Bludger, I came off my broom but Harry honey I'm okay really." Victor explained but I just frowned and kept expecting his rib cage, I could feel a few fractures and definitely at least two breaks. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""How far did you fall?" I asked my voice soft and laced with concern as I met his eyes, his dark eyes met mine and he opened up completely./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""30-40 feet…I think." He replied trying to remember, I gasped./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""30-40 feet?! Victor you could have been killed!" I raised my voice concerned and he I felt his arms go to my waist in an attempt to calm me down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Baby I'm okay. Coach did a cushioning charm so it slowed my fall but not much." He kept explaining meeting my eyes as I gently pulled down his shirt./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Go have a shower, I need to write to someone." I said and he nodded pulling away, I already missed his touch. I watched as he walked to our bedroom, limping slightly as he protected his rib cage. I sighed and turned back to the kitchen table, I pulled out some parchment an ink and I sat down at the table. I began to write dripping my Quill in the ink./p

The reason I ask is because Victor has an important match in two days and he was injured badly in training today. He was hit by a bludger and then came off his broom falling at least 30 feet. I'm worried Hermione, my medical knowledge isn't much and I have felt his rib cage, I can feel definitely 3 fractures and 2 breaks. Could you possibly put me in contact with a doctor ASAP? I just need to make sure he is alright even if that means he can't play the Semi-finals, but I know he would be crushed not to play. Could you also let Ron know that I most likely won't be into work today or tomorrow? /em/p

I quickly attached the letter to his leg and the fight bird took off out the window at top speed sensing the letter was rather urgent. I stood up from the table and quickly went up stairs to check on my husband, I entered our large bedroom and I heard the shower turn off. I waited a little while then Victor emerged, a towel rapped around his waist exposing all of his tense muscles, but also exposed the large bruising which marred his side. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""It's not as bad as it look , love I promise." Victor attempted to reassure as I moved closer to his chest, I gently laid a hand around the bruising causing him to wince./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Try to get some sweatpants on I'm going to grab some medical supplies." I replied and started to walk toward our dresser where I always kept a medical kit when I felt his large hands grab my wrist pulling me back toward him. Before I knew what was happening his soft lips crashed into mine, my free hand went up to his short hair as our kissed deepened. I was lost in the kiss until I remembered what I was supposed to be doing. I pulled away gently and I felt Victor grumble a little wanting me close again. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you." He said softly and pushed his forehead against mine, I smiled softly and I pulled away and grabbed the medical kit on the dresser. I turned around and saw Victor wincing as he pulled on some sweatpants./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Honey, go lie down." I replied gently and he nodded slowly laying down, his pained expression broke my heart and I sat down on my side of the bed. A small groan escaped his lips as he laid down fully. I pulled out and ice pack from the medical kit and gently applied it to his side. He winced but then soon relaxed into the cold, refreshing compress. I added another which rested across his rib cage, now the bruise was much less exposed. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Don't you have to get to work?" Victor mumbles softly, his eyes closed, some might say he looked relaxed but I knew he was really fighting pain./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No, I've written to Hermione and she will tell Ron, I won't be in today or tomorrow."

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""To take care of you." I replied and gently massaged his shoulder with my free hand, I knew that this was his bad shoulder from where he had picked up an injury years ago. He let out a small moan and I smiled softly relieved he was relaxing a little./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""But I'm fine Harry." He whined softly and attempted to push himself up, I placed a firm hand on his chest to keep him laying down./p

If you want to recover in time for the match in two days you need to rest." I replied gently but with enough force for him to understand. He was about to reply when a small tapping noise came from the window and I saw Victors owl hovering outside. I cast a charm and the window flew open allowing Victors large owl to come inside, it dropped a letter onto my lap and then went and sat on the dresser. I eagerly opened the letter instantly recognising Hermione's neat and perfect writing./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Who's that from?"

His name is Dr Calvin Smith, he is a brilliant doctor and specialises in sports injures. Honestly he is very nice guy and very good job. I've told him your location and he will arrive at 12:30pm approximately. Trust him okay? I know you find it difficult trusting strangers with people you love especially Victor but this guy is incredible and I consider him a close friend of mine. If you need any help at all, Ron and I and very willing to be here and help as always.

I jogged down the hallway and to the front door, I opened it wide. A man about my height with sandy blond hair and kind but yet smart blue eyes stood at my doorstep. He carried a large briefcase and wore glasses,/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Mr Potter, it really is an honour to meet you, I'm Dr Smith." He smiled warmly and extended his hand for a handshake, I smiled and shook it firmly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you for coming Dr Smith and I insist call me Harry." I replied and stepped aside allowing him entrance to our house./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Ok then Harry, where is the patient?" He asked politely as I shut the door behind him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Upstairs, follow me." I replied calmly and lead the doctor along our long hallway./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hermione informed me of Mr Krums injury and I must say it's a very rare occurrence during training." The doctor spoke as we walked upstairs, I felt trust being built he seemed to be a nice guy and genuinely kind./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes it was." I replied and lead the doctor though into the bedroom, I laid my eyes on Victor who thank god had stayed laying down, he smiled as I entered and the doctor moved over his bedside in very professional manor./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hello Mr krum, I'm Dr Smith, could you tell me what happened this morning at practice.?" He asked his voice gentle but serious, I sat down beside Victor and took his larger hands in mine. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We were doing some drills and one of the beaters wasn't paying attention and a bludger hit me in the side,I was knocked off my broom sideways and I fell I think about 30-40 feet, one of the coaches cast a cushioning spell so I didn't hit the ground to hard but I still managed to land quite hard." Victor explain as I sat by his side running my thumb over his hand, the doctor stood beside him listening intently. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Did you black out at all?" The doctor asked and pulled out a clipboard, he began writing things down as Victor replied./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I don't recall so, no." Victor said answering trying to remember as I soothed his pain by massaging his calloused palms./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Any dizziness or nausea?" The doctor asked looking up briefly from his clipboard./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""A little but it didn't last long." Victor replied and the doctor nodded writing down his answers./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Ok, I'm going to inspect your ribs get now if that's alright?" The doctor asked politely temporarily put down his clipboard on the bedside table./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes that's fine." Victor replied and I saw him slowly brace for some pain, i massaged his hand and slowly intertwined his fingers with mine as the doctor pulled on some gloves. He slowly leant down and felt along the side of his bruised rib cage. Victor winced and bit his lip squeezing my hand, I gently kissed the top of his hand and he forced a small smile of reassurance as the doctor felt his bruised right side of his rib cage. After several minutes the doctor pulled away./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Well I can confirm you have 2 fractured ribs and 1 broken rib. I will need to wrap up the rib cage to keep them secure, unfortunately for broken ribs there isn't much there can be done until waiting for them to heal." The doctor explained and opened his brief case pulling different materials out from it./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you mind sitting up?" The doctor asked and victor shook his head as I helped him sit into an upright position, he bit back a groan of pain but seemed to stay upright, I kept one arm around his midsection to help him stay up. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Will I be able to play for the semi-finals in two days?" Victor asked as the doctor took out a bottle of ointment and began to rub it into his damaged ribs, at first he wince painfully but then relaxed slightly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hmmm I'm not sure, it depends on how quickly your body heals." The doctor replied and began to carefully wrap bandages around his rib cage. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Please Doc, I have to play." Victor protesting wincing painfully as he wrapped the bandages over his ribs to help secure them in place. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I mean I guess you could but you would need to be really careful when playing. But no training up until the match." The doctor said cautiously and taped the bandages down then pulled away. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much doc." Victor gushed smiling happy he would be able to play in two days time. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Harry your in charge of keeping him resting up until the day of the match." The doctor said looking towards me as Victor leaned into me a little./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Don't worry Dr Smith I will make sure he rests." I reassured the doctor as he put away the rest of the bandages./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm going to check for possible concussion just as a precaution." The doctor explained and pulled out a small torch. He began to check Victors eye's reactions, my love slowly leant more into me and I could tell he was getting tired from all these tests. The doctor pulled away and packed up his briefcase./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Well all seems fine there, I can clear you to play in two days on the proviso that you rest up until then." The doctor explained and victor nodded then leaned his head into my neck, exhausted from earlier training and now the tests. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Sorry Dr Smith he is just tired." I answered for him and I ran my hands though his shortly cut hair that I loved so much./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""That's alright I understand. It's a pleasure to meet you both." The doctor smiled kindly picking up his briefcase and I leant out my free hand to shake his./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much for coming, I really appreciate it. How much do I owe you?" I asked pulling out my wand to summon some money, but before I could the doctor spoke./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No really, no charge, you both have done enough for the Magical community." The doctor said kindly and pulled out his wand to disappear./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Wow thank you." I replied and I smiled widely holding Victor into me. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No no, thank you." He smiled and then disappeared from the room, I smiled to myself thinking that Hermione was right. He wasn't bad at all, he was actually very kind. I turned my attention to Victor who had fallen asleep into my side, I slowly and very carefully laid him down back on the bed and fixed the pillows around him so he would hopefully be more comfortable. I kissed his forehead softly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Sleep well love." /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"I slowly woke to the sound of the lashing rain hitting the window at a fast pace, I opened my eyes and found myself in Victors arms. I smiled and snuggled into his warm embrace being careful of his still healing rib cage, I slowly rolled out of his arms and put on my glasses. I quickly checked the time and I found it was about 9:00am, I knew Victor had to be a the ground in 2 hours which was a good amount of time. I rolled back over and gently kissed Victors cheek, he stirred under my touch as I slowly caressed the side of his face. His eyes slowly fluttered open and I smiled loving the look of his dark but yet beautiful eyes, he leaned down and gently pecked my lips lingering for a few seconds before pulling away./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Morning babe." I spoke softly and I smiled as he kissed his way down my neck. I couldn't help myself as a soft moan escaped my lips, I felt his huge muscles tense and push me down onto the bed as kissed my neck. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Victor, you need to get ready for the match." I said softly pushing very gently in his rock hard chest which wouldn't budge in the slightest./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Five more minutes." He mumbled and he sucked on my neck which I knew would leave a cute little bruise, I chuckled softly and attempted to push against him again even though all I wanted was for us to stay here all day, curled in bed together…all day. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Babe come on, I need to wrap your ribs again." I protested finally making eyes contact and he pulled away sighing. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Ok ok fine."he replied finally giving up, he sat up with minimal pain. I rubbed his back and grabbed an ointment Dr Smith had left for us to help with the pain and for quicker recovery. I stood up and moved around to Victors front, we were both only in boxers and I could see his morning erection which made me smirk slightly. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Eyes are up here babe." He replied smirking back and I shook my head smiling. I poured some of the ointment into my palm, I leant down and slowly rubbed it in his bruised rib cage. It looked better I knew the rest had done the injury good, he let a small moan come from his lips out of pleasure. I grabbed the bandages from the bedside table but Victors hand stopped, me./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Would you mind putting some of the ointment on my shoulder? It's just sore and I don't want it acting up during the match today." He asked nicely looking consciously toward his left shoulder./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No of course I wouldn't mind babe." I smiled pouring some more of the ointment into my palms and gently massaging it into his large muscled shoulder. I grabbed the bandages and after a few moments I was done and his rib cage was fully secure. I noticed Victor looking outside at the pouring rain which judging by how fast it was pouring the wind was strong. I helped him to his feet and he didn't wince which was a good sign. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""It's gonna be a tuff match today." He said and moved over to our wardrobe to put on his match uniform, I smiled and leant against the bed post. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""You can do it." I encourage as he put his uniform into his bag which he would change into later, he kept his broom with his coaches but that was good because then he wouldn't have to carry it around. I went over to our dresser and pulled out some clothes to where the match , casual jeans and a large jersey which said "Krum 01." On the back. I wore this to every match. I pulled on my outfit and turned around, I watched my husband sling his bag onto his back a get ready to leave. He would eat breakfast that their nutrition coach prepares for them. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I love that jersey on you." He said softly as I walked over to him, I blushed a little and moved my hands to around his neck, his hands went to my hips and I smiled./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Good luck out there today." I smiled and gently kissed his plush soft lips. We both began to walk to the front door, I was going to meet Hermione and Ron at the ground an hour before the game but Victor always had to be at the ground early to prepare. I opened the door and Victors car was luckily parked out front, he smiled back at me before he stepped outside./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I love you, please be safe out there today." I said standing by the door./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I love you to." He smiled back and I chuckled as he blushed a little, I gently touched his arm concerned about the play today. Before I knew it I was swept into his strong arms and his lips captured mine, I smiled and kissed him deeper, he slowly bit my bottom lip begging for entrance which I granted eagerly. Our tongues wildly played with each other , passion radiating from our bodies as I ran my hands though his hair. After several minutes we broke apart gasping for air, I couldn't seem to wipe the smile off my face nether could he. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Now go kick some Irish Ass." I smirked which caused him to laugh./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Will do." He smirked and laughed as he ran out into the rain and into the his car. I watch him drive away in the pouring rain. I could stop smiling as I closed the door behind him, I just hoped that today's game would go well but I hoped more that my husband would be ok. /p

Wow the atmosphere was electric, so many people dressed in ether white and green the Irish colours or black and maroon the Bulgarian colours. I smiled music was blaring out from everywhere and people where drinking, laughing and just having fun. I started to look for Hermione and Ron when I heard my name being called from my left. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Harry?!" It was a female voice and I swivelled to my left to see Hermione and Ron pushing there way though the crowd to get to me. I moved quickly towards them and engulfed them in a huge hug./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Ron! Hermione!" I laughed as we were gripped in a tight embrace. We pulled away all laughing just with the joy of purely seeing each other even though I saw Ron a lot due to work we didn't really get to talk all personal stuff. After several minutes of small talk and They had lead me to their tent which was huge on the inside, I smiled as I walked inside. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""So how are the kids?" I asked excitedly as Ron handed me a large Butter-beer, I gratefully took it and slipped some. /p

It's hard, they can be very frustrating at times and the require some much attention, Harry this is parenting thing isn't easy. I read book about it but I never thought it would be so so hard." Hermione rambled and took Ron's beer from him and drank some of it, Ron had his arm laced around her waist./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Hermione's right, it's hard but we love em." Ron added smiling and kissed her cheek. /p

Hermione added drinking more of Ron's beer and I just chuckled to myself before drinking more of my own Butter-beer./p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""He was cleared by the doctor to play today but I'm just worried, the weather is awful and he isn't fully healed." I replied earning both sympathetic looks from Ron and Hermione as I picked up my beer again./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Victor will be fine Harry, I'm sure of it." Hermione replied as I drank the rest of my beer. /p

Ron cut in and I smiled it was time to watch my husband kick some Irish ass. We got to the ground pretty quickly because of Victor I have my own private box which obviously Hermione and Ron and coming into me with. When We get in big crowds we often have to be careful because people will try to swarm up to us. Normally it's to thank us and congratulate us about killing Voldemort but sometimes it gets out of hand. We snuck though the crowd and got to our box safely which was a relief, the guards outside closed the door behind us and I moved out the balcony. The atmosphere was incredible, buzzing as the teams flew in when the Bulgarians flew in it reminded me so much of the time when I had first watched a professional quidditch game. It was amazing apart from what followed afterwards but I remember the first time I was saw Victor play. So much had changed, for the best. I watched Victor fly into the grounds he looked like and eagle a powerful, graceful eagle. The whole stadium was chanting "Krum." And I could see the happiness on his face. This was his home away from home. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""There he is." I smirked happily and Ron and Hermione joined me at the balcony. /p

The chasers on the Irish team where dirty players but had good ideas, they cornered in the Bulgarian chasers forcing them away from the goal posts. Possession was turned over because one of Irish beaters rammed into the Bulgarian chaser forcing her to drop the ball. My husband flew high above play staying out the way waiting, but also searching for the snitch. About half an hour passed an the score was 400-500 to the Bulgarians, the Irish had attempted to take out one of the Bulgarian chasers with a bludger. He had been knocked off his broom and plummeted at least 80 feet towards the ground. Victor who was hovering above play, saw his friend plummet to the ground and made a nose drive towards him at full speed. My heart stopped as I watched Victor drive down after his teammate, a few heart stopping seconds later Victor grabbed his teammate and pulled out of the nose drive and dropped him back to his broom. The whole crowd cheered exhilarated by Victors save./p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Me nether." I whispered softly still in shock from what my husband just did. Nobody has attempted that I don't think , ever and he just pulled it off. My heart was hammering in my chest as Bulgaria scored again. I watched Victor up high in the air, then I saw it. He saw something and he drove towards it with impossible speed. The other teams speaker had however caught on to Victors movements and I saw him do a hand signal to the rest of his team before speeding off after Victor. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""They are up to something." Hermione said beside me as we watched tensely when Victor reached out his hand to grip the snitch when the whole Irish team blocked him in physically. The Bulgarian team saw what was going on an started to beat the bludgers that the Irish members of the team to try and distract them away from Victor. I watched as Victor realised he couldn't go anywhere so he went underneath and dropped out from the cage the had him caught it, the crowd cheered as he continued faster after the snitch. He flew directly vertically upwards after the snitch closely followed by the Irish seeker. Then he turned around completely and started into a huge death drop after the snitch, they were plummeting at an alarming rate, dangerously so, I wanted to step in I almost couldn't bare to watch. But then he pulled up holding up his arm and relief came over me as the camera showed the snitch grasped in his hand. The whole stadium erupted into cheers and I couldn't help but cheer myself, I hugged Ron and Hermione. My heart bursting with pride, I turned back to the pitch to see the Irish team hit a bludger hard at Victor, before he could react it hit him straight in the chest knocking him clear off his broom. My heart visibly stopped as I watched my husband crash hard into the ground. Before I knew it I was screaming and tears fell from my eyes, I was running, no, sprinting from my box and I sprinted down the stairs, I knew how to get onto the grounds, I had been here before . guards stood at the entrance but when they saw it was me they didn't do a thing to stop me as I sprinted though. My heart was plummeting as I saw my husband, the love of my life laying on the pitch unmoving. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Victor!" I raced towards him as the Bulgarian team landed around him some of them were off fighting the guy who hit the bludger at him. They instantly parted for me as I skidded to the ground beside him. My vision blurred with salty tears as my eyes looked on the horror before me. My husband lay on the pitch blood staining some grass around him, I could see a gash on his forehead which was bleeding badly and under his robes I could see blood. I held his upper body close to me cradling his head as I sobbed, his skin paling dramatically from blood loss. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Oh my god Victor…no." I was barely aware of the tears that poured down my face. I didn't even notice as a whole medical team started pushing me back. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No! No! Let go of me!" I yelled and I struggled against a few of the medical team as they pulled me away from my husband. I couldn't control the sobs that escaped my mouth, my eyes never left him as medics started to attempt to get him stabilised. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We need to get him to St Mungo's immediately!" One of the many medics yelled and they prepared to apparate. Before I knew what had happened all the medics were gone and Victor had gone with them. I was left alone..without victor in the middle of a quidditch pitch sobbing my eyes out in front of hundreds of thousands of people…I felt Hermione and Ron drop down beside me./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm so sorry Harry. I promise it's going to be okay." Hermione replied and I could barely meet her eyes, I noticed she was crying also./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Harry, we should go to St Mungo's." Ron's voice of reason rang in my ears, I turned to my other side to see Ron, he held out his wand ready to apperate. I nodded slowly and I felt the strong pull of apperation and I opened my eyes, we stood at the entrance to St Mungo's hospital. I didn't waste anytime before I ran inside pushing open the doors as I went though. The nurse at the front desk didn't even need to ask she knew who I was and who had just been brought in. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm sorry Mr Potter, he just went into surgery it's going to be awhile…" the kind looking nurse said as I tried to contain my tears. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""T-thank y-you." I stuttered and I went to go sit down in one of the waiting room chairs, Ron and Hermione close behind me. Nobody said anything to shocked and to upset to even think about what to do now. Hermione was sobbing in Ron's shoulder as I sat in my chair my foot tapping nervously. The tears had stopped flowing now, there was just now dried lines on my face. All I could think about was Victor...everything about him..the time he proposed to me, the happiest moment of my life. Oh my god, my heart ached. I loved him so much I couldn't bare to lose him../p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"The sun had long since set and outside was dark, I had forced Ron and Hermione to good home she was exhausted and I knew he was worried about her. They left about an hour ago, I still sat in the waiting room…alone..my head in my hands which were tainted with my loving husbands blood./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Mr Potter?" Somebody called and my head shot up, a doctor in a long white coat stood before me. I stood up meeting his gaze, I couldn't read his emotions which made my heart pound out of my chest. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes..that's me. How is he?" I asked my foot still tapping nervously on the ground./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm Dr Green, Mr Krums surgeon. I have to say your husband is incredibly lucky. The bludger which hit Mr Krum broke 4 ribs and fractured 3, it then cut the skin badly from where it made impact. When hit the ground, the fall punctured one of his lungs due to the broken ribs, it also gave him a large concussion but luckily all the damage he sustained was able to be fixed. There is no permanent damage, luckily and he will expected to make a full recovery in about 2 weeks, this is due to new technology of our magical healers." The doctor finished and I swear I could have fainted with relief. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Can I see him?" I asked desperately and the doctor nodded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Room 103." The doctor replied and I wanted to run into that room right this second./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Thank you so much doctor green." I said before I hastily walked off in search of the room. It took me a couple of minutes to find the room but when I did I bursted inside. I quickly moved over to the side of the bed and I took in the sight of my husband. He looked pale, he was shirtless and I could see the mass of bandages spread across his chest, a bandage was also wrapped around his head from his head wound./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Oh god vic…" I whispered and sunk down into a chair by his beside, I couldn't help myself and I took his larger hand in mine, I kissed his hand gently and rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Honey..Please…wake up.." I mumbled softly holding his hand tightly but not to tight that it would cause him pain. I watched his handsome face as his eyes fluttered, he stirred slightly and I reached my hand up to his face. He let out a soft moan and his eyes slowly opened, I could see the confusion in his face. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Where am I?" He asked his voice dry and raspy, I looked around for some water and I found some on the nightstand next to his bed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""St Mungo's hospital honey." I replied and I began to poured some water in a glass from a full jug. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What happened?" He asked his voice dry, I handed him the glass of water which he shakily took and drank./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""You caught the snitch then an Irish beater beat a bludger into you and it knocked you clean off your broom, you fell over 90 feet and hit the ground hard…" I explained and he handed me back the now empty glass of water. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""We won though right?" He asked his voice clearer now, I chuckled softly he cared so much about his job which he loved. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""Yes Bulgaria won…the finals are in about a month I think." I replied softly and he reached out for my hand which I gladly took./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What's the damage?" He asked and met my gaze as I massaged his palm. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""3 fractured ribs and 4 broken ribs , punctured lung and a pretty bad concussion." I listed off his injures and it sunk into me that my husband was lucky to be alive./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I'm so sorry.." Victor spoke softly his head low./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""What the hell do you have to be sorry for?"I asked confused gripping his hand in mine./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I can only imagine how frightening that must be to have seen me fall.." Victor trailer off not meet my eyes and I frowned, I got up and sat by his side on the bed, still gripping his hand./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""I understand if you don't want to come to my games anymore." He added sadly, my hand went to the side of his face forcing him to meet my gaze./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;""No matter what happens to you, I will always be there to support you. Always." I smiled and I leant down and kissed his forehead. /p
