Chapter 4

Practice Makes Perfect

Hermione had been wondering for hours and hours on end, yet she found nothing, everything was baron, she was tired and exhausted, her arms and legs felt heavy, her eyelids kept falling slowly covering her eyes from the nothingness that surrounded her. She didn't want to feel this way she knew if it continued there would be no hope left. No hope of seeing Harry, or Ron take his wedding vowels to Luna.

She was worried sick at what Draco was planning next, she had no idea where he had gone, no chance of warning Harry about the danger he as going to be in. He escaped Voldemort with is life hanging by a thread and she knew that Draco had more anger in his eyes and in his heart than Voldemort could have ever imagined to be possible.

Very slowly a bright light started to catch Hermione's attention, it kept growing brighter and brighter until it stopped and all she could see was one tiny speck of it left far away in the distance. It was as if this piece of light was talking to Hermione urging her forwards. This feeling as so strong and she felt she had to keep on moving towards that light.

The energy that had been missing from her body had found itself again. She trailed onwards, knowing that where ever this light was it meant something.

Harry awoke to see a doctor shining a light into Hermione's eyes.

"What are you doing" Harry asked with much curiosity.

"Oh Mr Potter" This doctor had a warm and gentle voice, he was tall yet surprisingly muscular for someone of this height, his hair was incredibly tidy not a ingle strand out of place.

"Glad to see you awake, now I'm just checking Miss Granger's pupil dilation nothing to worry about"

"So how is she?"

"Well, considering her condition she's doing very well indeed we are pleased with her progress, her heart rate is normal much better than it was before, her breathing has settled to a much better pattern, and her pupil dilation shows nothing that we should be worried about. Her vital signs are looking good Mr Potter. She may even make a full recovery. I gather that she also progressed to some movement last night? She grasped your hand I presume?"

"Yes that's right" Harry replied

"Well again this is fantastic news, I'll come check on her again this evening" The doctor slowly moved towards the door.

"Erm" enquired Harry "I don't know your name, doctor"

"Oh, my apologies, it's Doctor Barr, I'm one of the leading consultants in coma's and the conditions of patients suffering from the effects." He sounded extremely efficient when saying this, and Harry was taken aback slightly.

"Well nice to meet you, Doctor Barr, I'm glad to see Hermione in such excellent care as yours I am most grateful, thank you"

"My pleasure" and with that he walked out the door.

Harry turned to face Hermione, looking down onto her beautiful face "Looks like you're in pretty good care" He raised her hand and kissed it gently, "I'll be back later" Harry then walked quietly out the door.

As Harry walked away he remembered how much he hated the smell of hospitals, but this hospital seemed to be even worse, it made him feel dizzy almost, to the point where he just wanted to sleep and forget all of the troubles that surrounded him. Harry finally made it to the door, and breathed in some of he fresh air that awaited him outside.

"Dammm hospitals" He muttered underneath his breath, and continued to walk home.

Draco, landed knees tightly gripped together, head held high, the usual smirk on his face. A cynical applause started to fill the air

"Fantastic, absolutely fantastic, Potter won't know what's hit him"

"Shut it Blaise, I'd like to see you do any better" Draco pointed to the pile of mangled bodies that laid on the ground"

"Well is suppose you right, I've never killed that many people before when practicing my spells and curses, well I must say I do hand it to you, not a single fault all curses executed perfectly adding to the pain an misery, fantastic to watch, must do it again sometime"

Laughter filled the air, it was loud and offensive for any ears that dared to listen to it, between the gasping for more air Draco managed to speak "You really are the most sarcastic bastard I know"

"Thanks" and this was followed by even more laughter.

The laughter soon stopped as quickly as it had begun.

"Quickly, Blaise move your arse, we've got a lot to do for tonight

Hermione's legs were starting to tire yet she had almost reached the light just a little further and she would be nearly there, yet before the end was in sight she found a field full of flowers, beautiful flowers, all the colours that you could ever think of, she had never seen anything so beautiful, her eyes welled with tears she had longed to witness this for so long now it was finally here. She would never forget it.

Harry finally reached home, as he began to put his key in the lock, the door suddenly swung open.

"Where have you been? You phoned saying you left the hospital hours ago"

Ron's panicky shouting right in Harry's face didn't make him feel at ease at all

"My stag night starts soon, I need you hear to help!!"

"Sorry Ron it took longer to walk home than I intended, is everyone here?"

"No, we're still waiting for Draco, said he had to clean something up so he's be a bit late"

"Oh rite"

"So how's Hermione?"

"She's good; doctors say she's making really good progress"

"That' fantastic, hey maybe she'll be able to come to my wedding after all" Ron said very cheerfully

"Maybe, don't get you hope up, your wedding's only next week" Harry replied with an incredible amount of dullness in his voice.

"Well I'll just have to pray for a miracle then won't I?"

Harry walked inside, and Ron closed the door behind them, unbeknown to them Draco was around the corner and had heard everything that they had said he muttered a few malice words to himself

"Pray indeed Weasel Boy, pray indeed"

And with that he walked to the door and rung the bell.
