Chapter 15
Unsure
Harry paced back and forth across the floor. He took a quick glance over at Hermione, who was sound asleep. She had just gone through a long exam by the Healers. Harry was now awaiting the arrival of them. They were supposed to announce to him what was wrong with her.
Harry could not believe what was going on. He could not believe that he just almost lost his wife. But most of all, he could not believe he almost just lost someone else because of that stupid veil.
The events started pouring into his mind. He needed an explanation as to why Hermione tried to go through that veil. Last time she had warned Harry about getting to close to the veil, never mind touching it.
"Good evening Mr. Potter." The healer said, entering the room. This sudden noise made Harry jump, his thoughts quickly leaving his mind. The healer then quickly looked at Hermione, acknowledging his patient.
"We have some good news and some bad news." He said. "First the good news, you're wife is completely fine. All her medical conditions show that she is completely healthy, and will stay that way. The bad news is, we can't figure out what could have triggered her to do these odd and crazy things."
"So you're saying this could happen again, because you don't know what caused it, and can't stop it."
"Well,"
"I don't need to have my wife almost killing herself every other day. I need her. I need her here with me. If you can't figure out how to stop this then-"
"Mr. Potter, calm down, you did not let me finish." The healer said, himself being very calm even though Harry seemed to be raising his voice. "We might be able to figure out what is wrong with her, and what caused her sudden change in motives. We will heal her if we figure this out. This will take many tests and examinations, though, to solve this problem."
"We'll do it then." Harry said right away.
"I think you might need to talk this over with Hermione." The healer said, giving Harry advice. "She will have to spend many hours, and maybe even days here, in St. Mungos, or maybe other Wizarding hospitals."
"When will she be able to do this?"
"In a few weeks, not anytime soon."
"In those few weeks, she could die. Do you want that to happen?" Harry said, getting more and more frustrated. "I want this earlier. Hermione needs to stay here, alive."
"Mr. Potter, I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you don't lower your voice." The healer said, showing his authority. "You say you care about your wife, yet you're screaming. You obviously do not care if you wake her up."
Harry slowly quieted down, embarrassed that he just made a huge fool out of himself.
"There is no way I will be able to change these dates. I think you need to talk to your wife about this. If you love her like you say you do, you'll do it."
With that the healer walked out of the room, leaving Harry in silence.
Harry woke up, and Hermione was still fast asleep. Everything in the room was exactly the same, almost. There was now a chair next to Harry. Occupying the chair was Ginny, who looked like she had been spaced out for several minutes, maybe even an hour. Harry quickly moved in his seat, straightening himself up. Ginny was quickly sent back to reality, and looked over to him.
"Hello Harry," Ginny said sleepily.
Harry jumped, thinking both women were asleep.
"How long have you been here?" he asked.
Ginny took a quick peek down at her muggle watch. "About two hours now. I would have been here earlier, but I don't think they would have let me in."
"Why didn't u wake me?" Harry asked, disbelieving he had slept this whole time while she was here.
"I knew you must have needed sleep. By the time Hermione got here, it must have been really late."
"Yeah, but-"
"Don't worry about it Harry. How's she doing?" Ginny asked, looking over at Hermione who was softly snoring.
"I don't know. She hasn't woken up yet. The healer said she was alright, but they weren't sure what caused it."
"Oh, well I'm sure the healers will be able to figure that out."
"Yeah but, they said it could take weeks, even months. I can't wait that long." Harry said, slowly becoming angry and sad at the same time. "She could die because of this."
"Harry, Hermione's not going to die, because we're not going to let her. She was going through the same thing when you were trying to kill Voldemort. You should have seen how nervous she was then that you were going to die. This is less severe."
"No, its not. This is just something really random, so out of the blue. We don't know what's happening or what's causing it. This could happen again tomorrow, o the next day, and the healers wouldn't know how to heal her. What if she continues to space out like she did today? What happens if she tries to kill her self again?"
"What if, what if. Harry, it's not going to happen, alright? Stop thinking so negatively, because it's not going to happen. Okay?"
"You don't know."
"Harry, it's not going to happen." Ginny said, putting strength in her voice.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Good. Now that that's over with, where the hell is my brother?" Ginny asked, noticing he wasn't there with them. "He should be here, you guys are best friends."
"He hasn't showed up yet, I think. I don't know where he is. He must be coming later."
"He better, it would be nice to show some support for his best friend. Draco's coming here after he's done with work."
"Why aren't you there?" Harry asked, remembering that's where all three of them should be around this time.
"I took the day off to come and be with you and Hermione."
"That must be where Ron is, working."
"Yeah but he did take a day off when you were in here, didn't her? Why not for Hermione? You guys are all really close. Its not like Ron's closer to you then with He?"
"No, but there has to be a reason as to why he's not here. Maybe he just has a whole bunch of work."
"Ginny, that you?" Hermione asked, seeing a red blur in front of her. She quickly sat up straight in the bed, obviously not wanting to be there. She rubbed her eyes, trying to get them back into focus. She scanned the room, and notice quite a few other people were missing.
"Where's Harry?" she asked.
"Harry went to go get some food for the three of us. He didn't want to, but I made him. He needed some fresh air. Anyway, I'm glad to see your awake, and doing better."
"Oh, yeah, okay." Hermione said. She put her hands down on the mattress of the bed, and pushed her self up. She eventually pushed herself off the bed, and tried to stand on her feet. As soon as Ginny found out what she was trying to achieve, she ran over to her, and got her re-situated on the bed,
"Hermione, don't try to get up yet. The healers want you to rest." Ginny said, not wanting her best friend to get hurt.
"There's nothing wrong with me, I'm fine." Hermione said, not wanting to lie down anymore. She also did not want to be there anymore.
"You might feel fine, but the healers aren't quite sure if you are."
"Fine, whatever," Hermione said, slightly confused and mad that she had just lost this argument.
"Hello Hermione, it's nice to see you're awake." Harry said as soon as he got into the door. "The healers told me you were."
Harry had two bags in his hand. He handed one of them over to Hermione.
"Since I know how bad the food here is," Harry said, with a half smile.
"Thanks," Hermione said softly.
He then divided the other one up between Ginny and himself.
"How long am I here for?" she asked.
"You're leaving later tonight." Harry said. His slight smile slowly faded off of his face. "That's what I need to talk to you about." He thought for a moment trying to figure out a way to tell her. "While you were asleep, the healers tried to find out what was wrong with you, and they couldn't. They searched every part of your body, and nothing showed up. Every part of your body showed that you were completely healthy. There was also no trace of a spell or poison in your blood.
"The healers have decided that in order to figure this out, you must go through several long examinations. This means you might have to spend quite a few nights here."
"Great," Hermione said sarcastically, piling this all up in her brain.
"They wanted me to ask you if you wanted to do this. Even though it's up to you, I think you should do it, so they can figure this out and heal you. Otherwise, who knows what might happen next, and if u might do this again."
"Then I guess I'll do it," Hermione said, finding no point in arguing with her husband.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," she said calmly.
Harry walked over to her and held her hand. "I'll be here for you the whole time, okay?" Harry said. He then placed a kiss on her forehead, showing her that he always had and always will be.
Ginny watched the tow lovers from the back, with a grin on her face. She knew they loved each other, and would do anything if it meant keeping the other safe.
