Chapter 3: The Hospital
"DRACO!!"
Hermione woke up with a start. She has been having nightmares since the night she found Draco Malfoy fairly beaten a few weeks ago. Hogwarts was buzzing around about what happened to Draco. No one went anywhere alone anymore, in fear that they too will end up in the Hospital Wing unable to awake for a long time. No one knew what happened to him or why it happened.
Hermione was visiting him everyday even though he had been so harsh to her when they broke up.
Pansy was surprisingly upbeat about this situation. She was practically glowing.
Hermione got dressed and was on her way to a late breakfast. It was easter holidays. She crossed Draco's room. Everything was in the same place as before.
When she arrived at the Great Hall, she was surprised to find Draco sitting at the Gryffindor table.
"Draco!! Oh I've missed you soooo much!" she ran to him and kissed him square on the lips.
"What the heck are you doing Hermione!?" Ron said after she pulled back. He looked rather pleased with himself but his ears were slightly pink. "Er.. thanks for the kiss!" he laughed.
Hermione had imagined Draco sitting there waiting for her.
"Are you feeling well, Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Of course." She gave them an embarrassed smile. "I don't think I've slept much."
"Sorry Ron." she told him.
"It's okay." he grinned.
She sat down and hurriedly ate. She wanted to visit Draco right when Madame Pomfry gets back from breakfast.
"Well, I'll see you two later!" she said after she had finished.
"Where'r'you going?"
"To see Draco!" she got up, ready to leave.
"Mind if we tag along?" Harry asked.
"Harry. You hate Draco. Both of you do."
"Well, I'm feeling... happy today. Ron too."
Harry and Ron were worried about Hermione. She pratically lived in the chair next to Draco's bed. All her free time was spent visiting Draco or picking flowers for his vase. But somehow, she still managed to do all her homework the teachers assigned for the holidays.
"Okay. But you two better hurry." she said reluctantly.
They scarfed down their food while Hermione impatiently waited. When they finished, they followed her out of the Great Hall and up the stairs to the Hospital Wing.
"Draco, look who has come to visit you! It's Ron and Harry!" she said when they reached the Wing. She spoke as though Draco was conscious and listening to her every word.
"Er -- Hello Draco." Harry awkwardly said.
"Yeah. Hi Draco." Ron said just as awkward.
Hermione was changing his flowers as she spoke to him. She sat down and Harry and Ron followed.
"Miss Granger. May I see you for a moment please?" Professor Dumbledore entered the room.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron quickly stood up, surprised.
"Professor!! Please. Sit." Ron gestured to his now empty chair.
"No need, Mr. Weasley." He turned back to Hermione. "As I was saying, may I please speak with you alone please, Miss Granger?"
"Of course, sir!"
"I'll be back," she told the others. They stepped outside and walked to a nearby empty classroom and went in.
As Dumbledore closed the door, they talked about Draco's condition.
"Hermione. Draco's getting worse. Madame Pomfry has done everything in her power to help him." He put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We--"
"Professor, he is getting better. He really is. His cuts and bruised have healed. I'm sure he'll wake up in no ti--"
"Please, Miss Granger. If we do not move him to St. Mungo's now, he will never awake again. We must move him."
"Are you saying he's dying?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
He didn't reply.
"Is he?????"
"....yes. He is. That is why we must move him now. There is no other way!"
"I -- I understand." Hermione whispered, silent tears streaming down her cheeks.
***
Hermione has decided to let the Healers take Draco to St. Mungo's. She finally realized that she should have let them take him there when they asked before.
She left the classroom and went back to the Wing. Harry and Ron were still there. She sat down on her usual chair and took Draco's hand. "Draco. Healers are going to be moving you to St. Mungo's. They will be arriving very shortly. I'm going to visit you as much as I can, Draco. Please Draco, wake up. You have so much to live for! PLEASE WAKE UP!!"
"Hermione. What are you talking about?" Ron asked her.
She turned to him wiping tears away from her eyes. "Healers are coming to take him to St. Mungo's. That's what Professor Dumbledore came to tell me." Fresh tears starting to stream down her cheeks. "Ron.. Draco's dying."
She turned back to Draco, trying to be brave. "I love you."
