Taylor Sorry for the blank chapter last time! My mistake, I'll try not to do it again.
Draco's Twins
Chapter 10
St. Mungo's, Hermione's Room, 12:37am
Hermione's eyes shot open. Her vision was blurred for a moment, but then it cleared up. She saw machines scattered about the room. There were bright green lights from one of them that flickered on and off, casting a sickly glow on her face. She sat up, but didn't make a move to leave the hospital bed. Where could she be?
"Hello?" Hermione called quietly, almost whispering. "Hello?" she called again. There was still no reply. She had no idea where she was, or how she got there. Hermione would have to wait another hour until she would be found by a confused healer. But until she was found, she just sat and waited.
Ministry of Magic, Draco's Office, 6:03am
Draco Malfoy sat at his desk, his eyelids drooping. He heard a slight tapping. He sat bolt upright, his bloodshot eyes searching madly for the source of the noise. His gaze met the window, where a large tawny owl hovered in the air.
He rushed towards the window, unlatched it, and grabbed the parchment that was tied to the owls leg. He read aloud to himself. "'We are pleased to inform you that the wand of a Miss Angel Granger has been found. It was located seventeen and one quarter miles from Gringotts. The last spell the wand performed was the killing curse. Truly yours, Matilda Winkle.'"
Draco crumbled up the parchment and threw it over his head. He grabbed his cloak and sped out the door. He was halfway to the lift when he remembered that he could apparate.
In a matter of seconds, Draco arrived at Hermione's estate. He rushed down the hall to the kitchen where he found Harry and Luna at the counter packing up sandwiches. Luna looked up and said, "Hey! We didn't expect you home this early!"
"Where's Ron?" Draco asked breathlessly. "Where's Ron?" he repeated.
"He went to find you! You will never guess what happened! A owl just came from-" Draco cut her off.
"I just got a owl from one of the people from the search party. They found Angel's wand! The last spell it performed was 'Avada Kedavra'."
"Do you thing she might be... dead," Harry said, his tone serious and full of worry. "Do you think they're both dead?"
"How could you talk like that!" Luna asked angrily. "We have to have hope. No giving up!"
"What will we tell Hermione? I would never be able to tell her that her children are-" Draco began.
"Well, you should figure out what to say soon, Hermione's regaining consciousness."
A wave of relief through Draco like waves during a storm. She was going to be okay! But soon the relief turned to guilt and then to fear. If Hermione found out about their children, missing or possiblely dead, in her fagile state, who knows what will happen.
Draco's thoughts were interupted when the kitchen door opened. Ron stepeed in.
"Well he isn't at the Mins-" He began but stopped when he spotted Draco. "Did you hear?Hermione's going to be fine.Great, huh?"
Luna gave Ron a look tha tplainly said. "Shut up." He returned Luna's look with one of questioning and Luna gestured him out of the room. Harry and Draco stood in silence until the two returned.
"We can't tell her!" Ron shouted at once. "We just can't!"
"He's right." agreeed Harry. "It wouldn't help anybody. If anything, it would make thigns worse! Hermione would be devestated. She would never recover."
"Fine." Draco replied. " I get the point! Let's just go."
St. Mungo's, Hermione's Rom 8:23 am
When they reached St. Mungo's, Harry, Ron, Luna, and Draco hurried to the front desk, "We're here to see the Mistress of Magic, please, Hermione Granger."
"Oh yes!" said the woman at thedesk. "We've been expecting you! She's been moved to room 774".
"Thanks!" Luna shouted before trying to catch up with the men who were running towards room 774. The group of four made their way to Hermione's room, Draco in the lead, Luna bring up the rear. It took them a moment to find the correct door. Eventually, Rom spottted it at the end of the hall. When they walked in, Hermione was asleep. Realizing that he had bought nothing for Hermione when he saw Harry with a card in his hand and Ron and Luna with the food and rink. Draco conjuredup a boquet of yellow roses with his wand fromachocolate candy in his pocket. Thatway the roses were edible.
In the room, Hermione sat there, still and blinking. Everyone crowded around her.
"Whereare Adam and Angel?" asked Hermione,the first words escaping her lips since she woken up. Draco's mind raced as he strggled to come up with a reason they weren't in the room.
8:47
"Ohhh!" Blaise criedas he stretched his arms. His hand were gloved, but blisters had manage to show themselvesunder the gloves. He picked up his shovel ad began to dig what he soon hoped to be a finished grave. Metal and dirt hit every other over and over.
