Hermione arrived a short while later at Harry's and ran inside. She knocked on the door and waited until it was unlocked. Ginny opened the door and gasped at how bad Hermione looked.
"Hermione! You look as if you've been to hell and back," but Hermione pushed past Ginny and found Harry on the couch watching the TV.
"Hi Hermi.oh god, what happened?" Harry said.
"Draco proposed and I was so not expecting it I said I didn't know. He completely freaked out. Writhing, twitching, yelling suicidal things. He wrenched out his wand and started saying the.the.the death curse and I broke his wand and then knocked him over the head with a chair. I didn't know what else to do so I came here. Oh Harry!" Hermione said throwing herself at her old friend. She erupted into tears and Harry kissed and hugged her. He knew Ginny wouldn't get upset because Harry and Hermione were so close. "Shh.I'll sort the guy out. It's ok Hermione!" Harry said comfortingly. He heard a crash and looked up to see Ginny with Draco on her shoulder. He looked drunk, to say the least.
Ginny dropped him in a chair and he stirred.
"Give me a wand. If I don't kill myself I'll kill the bitch that made me feel this way!" he cried loudly.
"Don't you ever, ever, ever talk about Hermione that way, ok! She is not a bitch and you will be killed before you kill her, trust me!" Harry said, punching him.
"Oh.poor.Potter.sticking up.for a.mud.blood!" Draco gasped in between punches. Harry hit his face and his nose started flowing with blood.
"Harry! No!" Ginny yelled. She caught Harry's arm before he threw another one and Hermione saw how angry Harry really was. His face was purple, like his old Uncle Vernon's, and all the veins in his head were pulsing. Hermione ran for a towel or cloth and picking up one, raced back into the room. She tried to stop Draco's bleeding nose, but it was pouring. She had been there only a few seconds and her hands were blood soaked, but she persevered. Eventually it slowed, and Hermione felt Draco's pulse. It was very weak, and she knew he had lost a lot of blood.
Ginny meanwhile had phoned an ambulance for Draco. She could also see he was in pretty bad shape.
Harry just sat, his head in his hands yelling to 'make them stop'. A few minutes later and an ambulance pulled up outside the house. Ginny ran to grab Fleur and the paramedics sped into the room. Hermione quickly explained the situation and the men introduced themselves as Gavin and Wally. They phoned for backup, obviously having seen Harry, and set to work on Draco. They tried to give him a cannula but they couldn't find a good vein. What seemed like an eternity later, another ambulance arrived. They took over Draco and Gavin took over Harry, trying to coax him into coming outside. Eventually Harry went outside and Draco was stabalised. Ginny rode in the ambulance with Harry, and Hermione with Fleur and Draco. When they arrived at the hospital, the paramedics rushed Draco into a spot and started an infusion of blood, obviously making up for what he had lost, whilst she saw Harry being treated for psychiatrics and shock.
She felt the world swirl and slumped to the floor. The last thing she remembered was Ginny yelling, "Hermione!", Fleur being snatched from her hands and a crack on her head as she hit the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
When Hermione woke up she found that she had an oxygen mask on and was lying in a bed. She tried to move but her head felt bigger and heavier than a giant pumpkin, so she put it down again.
"Oh, Hermione! You're awake!" Ginny whispered next to her. She saw Fleur in a crib on her side, curled up in sleep and couldn't work out where she was.
"Draco woke up and started screaming and yelling all this neurotic stuff about Voldemort and suicide.
He's been taken to psychiatrics, like Harry. You're in ICU. They figured you had just fainted from stress, but thought it best to watch you very highly," Ginny said. Hermione nodded and turned to Ginny, so she was on her side now and facing the red haired girl.
"Tell me.why is.Draco.so.upset." Hermione wheezed.
"They think that since the reunion he has tried to be nice and bottle up his hate for love. I suppose that you being not sure about marriage made the pressure to the bottle too much and the cork just burst," Ginny replied softly. Hermione lay for half an hour, knowing it was her fault Draco was upset and Ginny hugged her. Hermione finally drifted off to sleep, whilst Ginny went for some coffee.
Was she the only sane one left?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
A few hours later, Hermione was discharged, the doctors satisfied that she was ok. She, Ginny and Fleur walked down to psychiatrics and were allowed to see Draco and Harry from a window that they couldn't see through. Harry was in one room and was tied down with ropes. He was white with fury and kept yelling at himself. Hermione gasped. She had known Harry for fifteen or so years, longer, she had known him since she was a baby, and here he was in a psychiatric ward. She was so upset. But Draco was worse.
He kept screaming he would kill Hermione and Voldemort.
"We're worried because we don't know who Voldemort is," one of the nurses said.
"Well, I'm Hermione and Voldemort is, er, a friend from school that wasn't very kind to Draco," Hermione told the nurse. The nurse nodded and walked off. From Draco and Harry's states, if they didn't commit suicide, Hermione would. Her mind was so serious, Ginny looked at her, shocked, knowing what she was thinking. She gave her friend a hug and Hermione, yet again, burst into tears.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Weeks later, Harry was released. The doctors said he was so annoyed with Draco that his mind had just gone into over drive. He acted normally. Kissed, cuddled, smiled. He seemed ok. But it was Draco the doctors were really concerned about. Harry had learnt to deal with Draco, that he wasn't well, but he still wasn't prepared for what he saw. The crazed Draco was still yelling suicide and murder at himself and had hardly slept in weeks.
"Oh my! I didn't think he was this bad!" was all Harry could say. Hermione was almost in tears. She had made him this way. She walked off to find a doctor. She eventually found one.
"Um.doctor?" she asked tentatively.
"Yes miss?" he replied, not looking at her.
"I am Draco Malfoy's girlfriend. I wondered if.if he was tied down maybe I could go in there with Fleur, our daughter. I thought it might calm him down a little," she said. The doctor looked at her.
"You! You want to go in there? Talk about throwing fresh meat to the lions! Well, if you think it'll work we can try it. But he would have to be very well constrained.I suppose we could try it," he looked thoughtful. He walked off and said something to a nurse. Her eyes widened and she looked at Hermione. She walked off and a few minutes after she returned with a long coil of rope. She then strode off and Hermione and the doctor followed. The young nurse entered the room and Hermione went and retrieved Fleur from Ginny, telling her what she was going to do. Ginny begged Hermione to let her go too but Hermione shook her head, "I made him this way, I want to try and fix it." Ginny muttered something to Harry and he looked at her in shock.
The nurse waved her hand and she walked outside. Hermione took a deep breath and entered the room.
Draco looked at her and smiled.
"You finally gave in. I knew you would," he said.
"What do you mean?" Hermione replied puzzled.
"You knew you made me that way and I knew you would eventually come in. You have no idea how much I have missed you!" he spoke.
"You mean, you mean this whole thing for these last couple of weeks was a whole act?" she said, a little angry.
"Sort of. When you said you didn't want to marry me I had this pain surge through my body. Like the.like the.is anyone behind that mirror that can hear this?" Hermione nodded. "Send them away."
Hermione obliged and shooed them off. Hermione though, didn't know if they would return. She wouldn't be able to see.
"The pain, it was like the.the." his voice dropped to a whisper, "the Cruciatus curse."
"Oh Draco!" Hermione cried.
"It was like all my love was stopped and my hate bottle was opened again. I couldn't stand it. That's why I pulled my wand out and started the other curse. You intervened. It was just as well. Then I was at Harry's and I was still neurotic. I just remember waking here and yelling all this stuff. That was when I knew that if I went on long enough you would come. The reason I have been yelling all this stuff is because I missed you so much. I really wanted to marry you and I was devastated," he said looking crest fallen.
"Oh Draco! I'm so sorry. It was just.I thought we were going to dinner. I was caught completely off guard. I didn't know how to react. I wanted to. My heart said yes and so did my brain, but I blurted out I don't know! You have no idea how much I regretted that! If it makes you feel any better I was hospatalised in ICU a few weeks ago because I passed out from to much stress!" Draco looked at her shocked. He started muttering something about stop telling lies but Hermione cut in. "I'm dead serious. ICU from too much stress. So don't you dare give me this crap of yelling for weeks on end for me to come in and see you. I came in here to try and comfort you and instead I find out that Fleur and I have been outside for two or so months because you wanted to see me. Save it for a counselor or your nurse, but I'm not in the mood, Draco. I have hardly slept and you tell me it was an act! I'm sorry Draco! If you love me this much then you shouldn't be yelling blue bloody murder at me all the time. I was so frightened Draco! I thought your brain had crashed and you hated me! And it was an act! An act! All I have had of you these last weeks to remind me of your love is Fleur. And all you have been yelling all these weeks is to kill me and you. Nothing about Fleur! I can't stand to look at you! I hate you Draco! I hate you!" Hermione fell to the ground, clutching a howling Fleur. Hermione started crying too. It was too much.
"Hermione!" Draco said.
"No Draco! No!" Hermione yelled. She heard the doors smash open and felt someone take Fleur and a pair of warm hands lift her up. She noticed Harry and they walked outside, Draco continually yelling Hermione's name. Fleur was screaming and Hermione took her. She rocked her backwards and forwards singing her a lullaby. After sometime she fell asleep and Hermione gave her back to Ginny. Hermione was enveloped in a hug from Harry. He wrapped his arms around her small shoulders and Hermione had never noticed that Harry was nearly and extra head taller than herself. Hermione cried and almost squeezed Harry until he released her grip. He put a hand on her face and wiped her tears away. Finally he kissed her forehead and gave her another hug. Hermione felt better now and told the group she needed some sleep.
They filed out to the car with Draco still yelling. The trio drove silently to Harry and Ginny's house and Hermione was asleep when they got there. Harry fiddled a little and then carried her in. He placed her on the spare bed and Ginny placed Fleur in the make shift crib they had gotten. They then moved into their own room and had a nap as well. They had decided that their wedding would be the following week. One week to get everything organised.
It was going to be tight.
