Chapter 28 – The Surprise Couple

"I'VE GOT IT!" a voice sounded from the main door of the hospital. Harry ran out. He couldn't believe who was at the door.

"What have you found out?" a medi-wizard squealed with delight.

"I've found out about the long-lost charm. Looks like she can be saved!"

"Excusez-moi, mon ami," another familiar voice said from behind, "but I keep telling you zat it's not possible to prove that this charm can work. We'll have to check it out. Lockheart!"

"At your service, Madam Director," the golden-haired medi-wizard immediately rushed to her side.

"Do some tests, and give me your findings as soon as possible."

"It will be done, Madam Director."

"Merci beaucoup!" she said as the medi-wizard scooted away.

"Great!" the other man said. "Now we can save Hermy-own-ninny!"

"Why are you so concerned?" the golden-haired woman said. "Do you still like her?"

"Of course not!" the man snapped back. "I only have eyes for you, my sweetheart" and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Not here," the woman whispered, pulling away quickly. "This is a hospital!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Anyway, she's married to Harry, so don't go chasing after her."

"Fleur? Viktor?"

"Harry!" Fleur Delacour almost shouted as she ran and gave him a bear hug.

"This is a hospital!" Viktor Krum said in his best French-accent voice.

"You've grown so much since we last met!" Fleur said, her voice full of excitement.

"Yeah, I know that" Harry said, wringing himself from Fleur's hug. "What charm have you two found out?"

"A curse-transfer charm." Viktor said. "It's a typical Bulgarian thing, zat's why I managed to find it. Buried deep in some ancient Bulgarian spell book."

"You found it?" Fleur said, completely astonished. "I was the one who found it!"

"Yeah, but it was my mother's books!"

"So what? I found it when you were catching stupid snitch!"

Viktor looked completely dumbfounded. "No sex for you tonight." Fleur whispered into his ear.

"So, you two are married?"

"Oui, mon ami." Fleur said. "For about three years already."

"And you run St' Mungo's?"

"Yeah, they voted me on because Professor Dumbledore nominated me, said my experience as your teacher would be beneficial."

"So, what are the chances of keeping both the baby and Hermione?" Harry said.

"It all depends, Harry." Fleur started, "It should be OK, unless Hermione or the baby reacts to the charm."

Harry looked slightly better. "Don't worry, leave it to us." Fleur said, giving Harry a kiss on the cheek.

"I saw zat!" Viktor said.


For the next few days, Harry felt everything had turned for the better. Hermione had not looked better since entering St Mungo's. With Fleur and Viktor consistently talking to her, she had cheered up too. Ron and Cho were also talking to Viktor about all the crazy battles between the two of them.

"Still remember the time I pulled that feint on you?"

"I let you go there, didn't want to hurt a girl."

"Really? I bet that I can go on a broom now and still beat you."

"Are you bonkers?" Ron said, "You're pregnant," spelling each letter clearly.

"Oh yeah, I forgot."

"I'm gonna give up one day." Ron said.

"Madam Director!" a medi-wizard came rushing out from a room. "The results."

"Merci!" Fleur said. She opened the file and took a brief read.

"How is it?" Harry asked.

"Looks good, Harry. The animals we tested on show no signs of problems and look quite healthy."

"When can we start?"

"In a week." Fleur said. "However, I have to warn you that there's always a risk in these kind of complex spells. We definitely cannot assure you that everything will be OK."

Harry looked slightly deflated. "What did Hermione say?"

"She's willing to do it." Fleur said. "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."


"If I don't make it out…"

"Don't say that, Hermione," Harry said, "You'll make it out, and we'll have a great time with our child."

Hermione smiled as she was wheeled into the room. Harry turned around and sank into one of the chairs, his face buried in his hands.

"You can trust Fleur," Viktor Krum's voice sounded in his ears. "She is one of zee best doctors here."

"Cheer up, Harry" Ron said. "She'll be fine."

The next three hours were the longest ever in Harry's life. He couldn't sit still. He stared at the clock for as it struck 6."

"What the hell is taking her so long?" Harry said.

The door swung open. Fleur stepped out of the room, her face looking the worst Harry had ever seen her.

"How is she?" Harry asked.

"Hermione…" Fleur started
