PLEASE READ THIS!

Sorry this has taken so long! It may not be up to your expectations but I'm having slight writers block and I'm working on another story; LilyJames. Hope you like this, please no flames, helpful suggestions would be better.

Molly and Ginny had found nil to nothing on this Healer Lucas. That in itself was suspicious. Every healer you looked up should have a full biography in their files for patients to read; to get to know their healer.

Joan was fading fast; they didn't have much time to figure this out. A day and a half at the most, but Healer Lucas was doing his best. Yeah sure.

I seem to be having trouble with borders to space different parts of the chapters! So if any of you have any words of advice it would be much appreciated!

Molly and her daughter didn't want to accuse him of anything though until they had rock solid proof. They found out awhile ago that it was the elder Malfoy leaching the power of the sweet 5 year old they had grown to love.

The moment for proof just walked right to them one night; they didn't even have to look for it.

Molly and Ginny were at Mungo's again when 'Healer Lucas' came in to 'see if Joan was doing any better'.

Well, needless to say they saw right through it. While he was in the room his would be boss came in to observe the treatment for this rare disease. Lucas worked through the observation like it was nothing.

When he left Head Healer Katherine stayed to talk with the grandma and aunt.

"I'm terribly sorry for this," Katherine sympathized. Molly had already done research on her and knew she could be trusted. "We really are doing-"

She stopped in mid-sentence and walked over to the door. She placed her ear against the cold metal and quietly listened. Molly gave Ginny a look telling her to sit with Joan, quietly.

Mrs. Weasley walked over to the door and positioned herself the same as the healer next to her. Both heard the following conversation:

'What do you mean we're out of Polyjuice? We had enough to feed everyone in this blessed building,' 'Lucas' snarled.

'I'm sorry Master Malfoy,' they heard a sly, greasy, and slightly scared voice reply. 'The need for it every hour used up all of your storage.'

'So make more, you imbecile,' Malfoy sneered.

'I would but we don't have the ingredients," the 'imbecile' informed him.

'Must I do everything, Lestrange?' Malfoy asked with malice. (I can't remember if Bella's 'hubby' died; if he did he's back) 'Steal some, you idiot."

Katherine gasped at this; no one stole from St. Mungo's. All the potion ingredients were used to treat patients. She had never heard any conversation like this within these walls.

'All I need is enough for one more night, then that brat's seer powers will be mine; along with her life,' you could hear the sneer on Lucius' face form.

Lestrange and Malfoy both left; completely unaware of the audience they just left.

Molly and Katherine both looked at each other and nodded; Malfoy would get what's coming to him during tonight's 'examination'.

Insert line here!

It was nine pm and Lucas was right on time. Little did he know so were the Aurors; all hiding under invisibility cloaks.

A charm had been placed on Joan so that when the Healer drained her of life she would emit a red glow that would not only inform the Aurors but also eject Malfoy from her side.

He silently walked over to Joan's side with a quick nod to Ron, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley.

As he bent over Joan he failed to notice Katherine's imitate presence from the uncovering of one of the cloaks.

Suddenly, a bright red light filled the whole room and all within it heard a yell of fury coming from the elder Malfoy.

Aurors were everywhere and Malfoy was instantly captive. Everyone waited about 45 minutes until the potion wore off. Lucius cursed and was dragged from the room. The only ones left in the now silent room were Ron, Hermione, Mrs. Weasley and Katherine.

Healer Katherine walked over to Joan and gave her a quick look over and told the room, "She'll live, but she won't wake for another day or two. I'll be back in the morning, good night," and she left.

Line

Katherine kept her promise and came back nearly every hour to make sure all was well.

It was the 2nd day after Malfoy had been taken into custody. Hermione was sitting next to her daughter alone; Ron and the others had gone home to rest while she insisted someone stay there.

Hermione was reading, Just Like Heaven, she felt it applied to her life to some extent. She was so engrossed in her reading that she failed to notice the movement in front of her.

"Mummy," came the strangled plea.

Hermione looked up from her book so fast her neck cracked. "Joan? You're awake?"

The little red head nodded and Hermione jumped up to hug her daughter. "Mum, what are you doing?" Joan asked.

"We didn't know if you would wake up," Hermione admitted to tears within seconds.

"Mum," Joan looked at her mom.

"Yes," Hermione was wiping tears off her face.

"I ache a lot," she informed.

"Oh," Hermione got up and walked into the hall to get Healer Katherine.

"Ah," said the healer. "You're awake are you?"

Joan just nodded shyly, not knowing who this lady was.

"Well, you look fine," Katherine said to the girl after a check over. "I'd say you could return home, hmm, tomorrow."

"TOMORROW?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes, she looks much better, but you may want to inform your husband," Katherine left to Hermione's objections of Ron being her husband, for now.

Line.

Joan came home as planned. Everyone, especially David, was happy to see her alive and well.

They were all sitting around the table eating a feast made by Mrs. Weasley. After that everyone went into the sitting room, the children play board games considering Joan couldn't do much else.

Everyone was just sitting and talking and enjoying everyone else's presence in their own lives. Everyone except for Ron, that is.

"Where is that son of mine?" Mrs. Weasley asked no one in general.

"Right here, mother of mine," Ron answered as he walked in.

"Where were you?" she asked.

Ron didn't answer, just took a deep breath while walking towards Hermione. When he reached her he got down on one knee and looked her in the eyes.

"Hermione Jane Granger, I have loved since you rubbed it in my face that I couldn't levitate a measly feather. At first I thought it was a mere school boy crush that would end in a week. But as week after week and month after month and year after bloody year passed us by my love for you has just gotten bigger and bigger. I beat myself up everyday for not showing you my affection sooner than 6th year. I love now, and always will. Would please do me the great honor of becoming my wife and allowing me to start a family with you and Joan?"

With that he flipped open a velvet box containing a ring; gold band with a simple yet elegant diamond placed right in the middle. Hermione had tears streaming down her face. She had a large smile on her face and nodded vigorously.

Ron slipped the ring on her and then picked her up for a passionate kiss. Hermione and Ron just stood there and kissed each other, drowning out the catcall and 'awws'.

Fin!
