Chapter One: Easing the pain
St. Mungo's was a large Hospital, and it was no wonder, that the students involved with the defeat of the dark lord were given special attention and care. Many of the students had broken bones and scratches, some had more serious injuries. Neville for instance, had been cursed by a Death Eater. On top of that, his nose was broken again, and now he had difficulty breathing because of that and the curse combined. Ginny was in a coma and even though her vitals were good, she showed no indication of waking up. But perhaps the two worse off people were Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy.
Since Harry had actually dueled with Voldemort, he was badly hurt, all over his body. He had several different hexes on him which took days to wear off. Draco was also in a bad state, after trying to protect someone and being declared a traitor by the death eaters. They had all ganged up on him, and he was still alive, which was hard to believe. Ron had several broken ribs that were mended up in no time, but he too had trouble walking, and was extremely weak. Hermione had been hexed several times and so she was still recovering in the hospital.
"Time for your tonic, Miss Granger," said the healer. Hermione opened one eye and she sighed. Tonic, again, and it tasted disgusting too. "Now, now Miss Granger, in order for you to heal you must take your medicine," said the woman reprovingly. Hermione sat up, which was rather painful, and she opened her mouth to take in the tonic. She grimaced as it went down her throat.
"Blah," she said. The healer smiled.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon, I promise," she said. Hermione managed a small smile and lay back down on her bed.
"Oh, excuse me," Hermione said. The woman turned back around.
"Yes dear?"
"You wouldn't happen to know where, where Harry Potter is would you?" she asked. The healer nodded somberly.
"He's in the intensive care ward," she said. Hermione nodded.
"How is his condition?" Hermione asked. The healer sighed.
"Well, his body is…terribly broken," she said. "He comes in and out of consciousness, and he's extremely weak. He is a fighter though, he'll survive, don't worry. As long as he takes his medicines, everything will be fine," she said. Hermione nodded again and smiled.
"Would it be possible to see him?" she asked. The healer studied her for a moment and then sighed.
"I suppose, later though, he's resting now," she said.
"Thank you," Hermione said. The healer nodded.
"Get some sleep," she said. Hermione nodded and closed her eyes.
Harry awoke groggily and was slightly aware of a hand on top of his. He blinked several times until the room came into focus, and he saw Hermione sitting next to his bed, in a wheelchair. She smiled at him.
"Harry, how are you feeling?" she asked. He closed his eyes and exhaled.
"Tired," he said. She laughed.
"Well, I'm glad to see you awake," she said. He nodded.
"And you?" he asked. She shrugged.
"I'm going to be fine. I just have to drink these absolutely horrid tonics, but I'll manage," she said. He nodded.
"And Ron?" he asked.
"He's fine too, still, alive," she said. He smiled slightly.
"Did anyone…"
"OH, No," she said quickly. He nodded.
"That's good," he said. She smiled.
"Harry, I don't mean to…harp on about this, but--"
"I know, I know, you want to know…what was going on that night," he said. She sighed and nodded. "I'll tell you sometime later, I promise, I just don't feel like talking about it right now," he said. She nodded.
"I understand," she said. He nodded. "Well, I had better get going then." She said. He smiled.
"Thanks for coming," he said. She smiled and then began to wheel her self out of the ward when someone rushed in. It was Krum.
"Hermione!" he said. She smiled when she saw him.
"Viktor," she said. He went towards her and he gave her a huge hug.
"I'm so glad you're alive," he said. She smiled.
"Me too, Viktor, me to," When he pulled away he went over to Harry and suck out his hand.
"You are a very brave man," he said. Harry noted the word man. He smiled and accepted Viktor's hand.
"So are you, Viktor. You put your life on the line for us during those days so I believe that thanks are in order on both ends," he said. Viktor smiled.
"Vell then, are you ready to go back to your ward?" he asked. Hermione smiled.
"I would like that," she said. He nodded and went behind her chair and pushed her slowly out of the room. "I'll talk to you later, Harry," she said. He smiled and waved as they left. He sighed closed his eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Krum asked. Hermione smiled at him.
"I'm fine, Vik," she said. He touched her hand.
"I don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to you," he said. She smiled and her eyes welled with tears.
"You too, I mean, when they told me that you willingly went to the village and stood as a guard I was so scared," she said. He nodded.
"So was I, but I couldn't just stand around there and do nothing," he said. She nodded.
"I understand…" she said. He smiled, but then his face grew seruious.
"Did you hear the rumors?" he asked. She shook her head.
"No, what happened?" she asked. He sighed.
"Several Death Eaters got away," he said. She gasped.
"No!"
"Yes, and we're on a high security look out," he said. She shook her head.
"They just won't give up…" she said. He nodded.
"I know…I've…I received a threat already," he said quietly.
"WHAT?" she exclaimed.
"Shhh…" he said. Her eyes were wide as saucers. "Look, I vill be fine, don't worry," he said. She shook her head.
"No you won't they'll kill you," she whined. He sighed.
"I didn't want to tell you, but I had no choice," he said. She looked away.
"Dear God…" she said softly. He shook his head.
"There is nothing I can do now," he said. She closed her eyes and sighed. He leaned forward and kissed her. She kissed him back and then he pulled away. "I must leave," he said. She nodded and shook her head.
"Just…be careful," she said. He smiled.
"I vill, love you," he said. She smiled
"Love you too," she said. He nodded and then left the ward in a huff. Hermione closed her eyes and sobbed softly. She cried herself to sleep.
