Devastation

"Draco, how the hell did you get into my flat?" Harry asked with much curiosity

"I have many talents, Potter, the sooner you realize the better, got it?" Draco's voice was so different to the one Harry had heard enquiring after Hermione. All the concern and worry was gone, vanished.

"What's going on Draco?" Was this really Draco? Harry though to himself.

Nothing, no answer. Just his cold blue eyes looking directly through Harry.

"Answer me Draco, what on earth are you doing here? Draco!"

"I've come to teach you a lesson, one that you will never forget, one that will cause you so much pain, it is finally time for me to extract some revenge."

Harry began laughing, laughing quite hard actually.

"Yea good one Draco, now please cut the crap, I'm on my way to the hospital to visit Hermione."

"Silence!" Draco shouted "This is no joke "This'll teach you to shut up and take things seriously.

Draco took out his wand from beneath his cloak it was the same wand that made Hermione enter the terror that she is now suffering.

"STUPEFY!" Draco screamed Draco at the top of his voice, I was so laud Harry heard it through his laughter and was unable to protect him self, the spell it Harry with full force knocking him to the ground and causing him to knock his head so hard he saw no more, and only felt that pain that was surging through his body.

"Ohh brilliant" Chuckled Draco and viciously rubbed his hands together.

Hermione awoke, she felt warm and comfortable, and the ground she thought was so uncomfortable was actually quite soft. She could smell the flowers that she had fallen asleep with. She slowly began to open her eyes, ready to face the deserted place she has come to accept and admire in the same way, ready and even more determined to find a way to escape.

However as she began to open her eyes, she saw four walls, a door, machines, a beeping noise that was steady and comforting because it made her feel that she was alive, and safe from harms way.

She looked down she was lying in a bed, she wearing her favorite pajamas, a drip was also placed in her arm supplying her body with food and water.

She began to sit up, still extremely puzzled by her surroundings. Just as she was about to step out of bed a doctor came bursting through the door.

"Miss Granger, your recovery is astounding, never in my entire medical career have I seen such a recovery as yours. When you were brought in last month by Mr. Potter, I was sure you wasn't going to pull though"

Hermione was literally stunned, this doctor was so unorthodox, and a month ago? She felt like she was dreaming, well not dreaming but detached from her body for only for a few hours. How did she manage to regain consciousness? Draco told her it was impossible, and Harry brought her in how did he even know what had happened to her?

Poor Hermione, she just didn't know where to start, what to say or how to go about things.

"We'll still have to keep you in for a few days Hermione, you're still incredibly weak, we will notify your parents, and your friends, especially Mr. Potter, as he's been a vigil by your side since he found you. I must say you are truly lucky to have a friend like him. Also the police would like to question you about the events of that night."

Hermione was still lost for words, all she could do was nod and take account of things and listen intently to what the doctor was saying.

"Is that ok with you Miss Ganger?"

Hermione could answer this question, she would tell them yes, get the justice that she deserved, put Draco in Azkaban, leave him there to rot with the other condemned death eaters and finally be with his father where they both belonged.

She went to speak the words that would begin her justification and the demise of others but no words would project from her mouth. There was the will too speak but the voice to complete it. She was mute.

"Miss Ganger, can you not speak?" Asked Dr. Goodman, extremely concerned.

She nodded, eyes welling up. She couldn't tell her version of events she couldn't help Harry.

"Oh dear, it looks like the traumatic events of the last few weeks has left you unable to speak. I'm afraid I'm going to have to run some tests too see the severity of it."

Hermione nodded, it was all she could do to comply with the doctor.

"I'll leave you now to get some rest, and I'll arrange those tests and phone your friends and relatives." And with that he was gone, leaving her there to come to terms with things.

Hermione sunk back down beneath the covers and looked towards the window, her eyes flooded with emotion let rip and she laid there and wept, if she didn't have her voice how could she have the justification that she deserved. How could she tell Harry her feelings for him, ones she has only just come to realize.

"Finally it's clean" A very exhausted Ron fell backwards onto his couch, looking please with the amount of work he had done. All by himself of course, no one would stick around to help, which ruffled his feathers even more.

Just then the phone rang, it was, in fact, quite lucky that Ron had managed to find it or he would have never been able to answer the call. And this he would have been devastated by as it was news he has been dreading and looking forward too.

"Hello?" Said Ron as he picked up the receiver.

"Hello, the is Doctor Goodman from the Hospital"

"Yes, is Hermione ok? What's happened?"

"Nothing to worry about Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger has regained consciousness, and I was wondering if it was possible for you and Mr. Potter to make your way to the hospital as soon as you could."

"Y-y-yes of course, we'll be there right away!" Ron slammed the phone down and made his way out of the door. Straight around to Harry's flat.

Mrs. Granger and her husband were away on holiday in the Maldives, there were enjoy the last few days they had left before they had to return to England and begin their new dentistry jobs. This is where they heard the news of their daughter, Hermione, they like everyone else was devastated, they flew straight home, and made their way to their daughter's bedside, and when they reached her side they were so comforted by the presence of Harry.

This was over a month ago, they, like Harry had been making trips to the hospital everyday, however they had always visited at different times of they day, this was mainly because Harry normally went during the evening when the Grangers had returned home, mainly to reflect on their daughter's progress and their own feelings.

Like Ron they were also unaware that their daughter had returned.

Mrs. Granger was at home with her husband, they were preparing to go and see Hermione, when the phone rang.

"Hello" Mr. Grangers voice had become weaker in the past month, as the event that had occurred had indeed taken their toll, on him and his wife.

"Mr. Granger? This is Doctor Goodman, and I am calling on behalf of your daughters"

"Yes, what is it? What's wrong? Has something happened?" He was very much shaken, and by speaking these few words the face of his wife had also dropped and the colour had flushed from her cheeks, leaving her feeling sick to the stomach.

"No, don't panic, you're daughter's perfectly well, she has regained consciousness"

"W-w-well that's fantastic, thank you so much doctor, we were just on our way to see her" Mr. Granger put his hand across the receiver and told his wife the fantastic news. She was now beaming and kissed her husband on the cheek, colour had now flushed back to her face.

"Oh I am glad you're making your way to the hospital, as there are a few things I would like to discuss with you before you go in and see Miss. Granger.

"Well yes, that's fine see you soon the doctor and thank you so much."

"Yes well see you soon Mr. Granger"

Mr. Granger placed the receiver to its original position, turned and hugged his wife.

Ron had finally managed to reach the hospital, he figured that Harry was there as there was no answer at his flat, he had also brought along his Fiancée, Luna.

He entered the door and came face to face with Mr. and Mrs. Granger, his mother, Ginny and Draco.

"Wow, I guess you've all heard the good news then?"

Everyone nodded in earnest.

"We're just waiting for the doctor now" Explained Mrs. Granger

The moment she had said this, the doctor made his long awaited appearance.

"Well it's nice to see you all, would you please follow me to the relative's room?"

Everyone complied, entered the room and took their seats, Draco, however decided to lean against the wall. Mrs. Wealsey sat with her daughter, Ginny, Ron sat with Luna and Mr. Granger and his wife sat together, holdings each others hands tightly.

"Well I know your all waiting to see Hermi –" But before he had the chance to finish what he was saying he was stumped to see the lack of presence from Harry.

"Erm" Continued the doctor "Where's Mr. Potter?

Everyone looked around also shocked that has wasn't there.

"I thought that he would be here, because there was no answer when I called round to his flat to tell him the good news about Hermione." Ron answered

"I saw him" Began Draco " He went for a walk and said he mite go too see Sirius, I think he was shocked but overjoyed about Hermione waking up."

"That must be it then, a bit out of character of Harry, but I trust you Draco, thanks."

"Nah, no worries Ron, I'm sure he'll be back"

"Well continued the doctor, the good news is that Hermione has regained consciousness but the bad news is, she's lost her voice, she's mute, unable to mutter a single word."

Everyone gasped, looked at each other in disbelief, and began to fire as many questions they could think of at the poor doctor. All the while they did not notice Draco, leaning against the wall smiling for ear to ear, quietly chuckling to himself."
