'Beep, Beep, Beep.'
Beep Hermione thought to herself where in the name of Merlin am I. Ok Hermione think back what do you remember last. Horcruxes, no that's not it, Voldemort, battle, Lucius Malfoy, blue light, Ron.
At the thought of Ron, Hermione's eyes snapped open but then regretted it as sunlight shone on them through the window."Ow." She quickly shut her eyes and opened them more slowly letting them adjust to the light.
She was lying on a bed the sunlight was creeping through the small window in the wall. The wall's were a cream white along the boarder was a midnight blue colour. A chair sat in the corner near a door, the door was open showing Hermione a sink, shower and a toilet. Hermione turned her head to the opposite side of the room and saw another door that led out in a hallway. Where am I? She asked herself; Hermione sat up slowly and noticed she was hooked up to some monitors. Monitors but muggles use them in hospital. Hospital! Just then the door opened and a nurse walked in, she was about 5,7 the same as Hermione she had straight black hair, which was tied up in a ponytail, also she had brown eyes and she was tanned. "Ah your awake." The woman had an Australian accent."What am I doing here? Where am I? I need to get back to Ron and Harry and what's wrong with me why am I hooked up to this?" Hermione asked pointing to the monitor.
"Whoa slow down let check your health while I'll explain and ask you some questions, I'm nurse Brown by the way." Despite how much Hermione wanted to get out of there she lay down back on the bed.
"Right you're in Mount Private Hospital, Perth Australia you've been in a coma for five months an-."
"Five months." Hermione shouted sitting up in bed again. What happened in the war, did Voldemort win, did Harry win? Who's dead and who's alive is Ron dead?'
"Yes you have a er woman found you outside her apartment's building now I need to ask you some questions are you ok answering them?" Nurse Brown asked.
"Yeah I think so." Said Hermione she slowly lay back down on the bed.
"What's your name?" The nurse asked looking at the monitor.
"Hermione Jane Granger." Hermione replied.
"What is your age?"
"What day is it?" Hermione asked
"It's the tenth of August."
"Then I'm still eighteen." Breathing a sigh of relief that she hadn't missed her birthday, she missed Harry's though.
The nurse kept asking her questions while she disconnected the monitors. Nurse Brown seemed puzzled but relieved to see that there was no damage to Hermione.
"Look when can I leave I don't want to stay here any longer." Hermione said walking to the chair and back to exercise her muscles.
"Do you have anywhere to go because the last place you were was England do you have anybody in Australia that you can stay with?' Nurse Brown asked writing on a clipboard.
"Um not that I know of." Hermione said while her brain screamed 'Liar' she knew perfectly well who was in Australia, well she hoped they were still in Australia she hadn't spoken to them for seven years not after what they said to her.
What was she going to do she had no wand, no money, no place to stay she couldn't stay with them she didn't know where they lived, she sighed in frustration and collapsed on her bed.
"What's wrong?" Nurse Brown asked noticing the frustration in the sigh.
"Well I do know some people who live in Australia but I don't know where they live and I have no place to stay." Angry tears fell from her eye's she grabbed a tissue from the bedside table.
"I might be able to help you out." Hermione's shot up to look at nurse Brown.
"How?" She asked.
"Well I've got a spare bedroom in my apartment, which is just a thirty-minute walk away from here, your welcome to stay if you like."
"But I hardly know you and you don't know that much about me." Said Hermione nurse Brown smiled.
"My name is Katie Brown I'm twenty five, I've lived in Australia my whole life and I'm not into anything weird so you don't have to worry about that." Said Katie as she sat in the chair.
"Well what about the hospital when would I be able to leave this place." Hermione asked staring at Katie.
"The latest I'm thinking you'll be out is tomorrow afternoon and hey I'll like a room mate so what do you think?" Katie asked.
Ok I have a very kind woman asking me to stay with her or when I get discharged from hospital I'll be living on the streets of Perth with nowhere to go, but why does she want me to stay with her It can't be just because I'm homeless.
"Ok I'll stay with you as long as it's not to much trouble." Katie smiled happily and shook her head.
"Nope no trouble at all I'll go and see when the latest you can be checked out." Katie stood and walked out the room; Hermione soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"Ready to leave?" Katie asked Hermione. It was the next day and Katie's afternoon shift at the hospital had just finished. After checking when Hermione could be discharged from the hospital they said she could go tomorrow afternoon but it was only that Katie was a qualified nurse and Hermione's patient that Hermione could leave early.
"Yeah sure." Said Hermione. Together they walked down the stairs and to the front doors of the hospital. Kings Park was lovely in the spring the tree's and flowers were blossoming, the sun casting shadows on everything. Hermione looked everywhere enjoying the surrounding's.
"Right my apartment building is just there" Katie pointed a head to a medium tall building straight up. After another ten minutes of walking they reached Katie's apartment door she opened it.
It was the living room that first appeared with a door on the right side of the room and two on the left. The living room was big and welcoming the walls were painted a light shade of brown, the floor was wooden in a dark mahogany colour. The windows were letting the sunshine through making patterns on the floor, there was a flat screen TV in between the two windows with in front of the TV was a settee. In between the two doors on the left was a tall wooden cabinet on the opposite side of the room was a stereo and a fireplace which had another settee in front of that.
Next Hermione was shown the kitchen, it was wooden floorboards again this time white the walls were a coffee colour every appliance for a kitchen was in there. There was a small arch way next to the dishwasher inside was a washing machine, tumble dryer and different types of washing powder.
Katie next showed Hermione through the door on the right side of the living room.
It was smaller than the living room it was a wooden floor again with ivy patterned wall paper, the room was dedicated to books it was like being in a library, there was a big square window at the front of the window were two recliner chairs.
"Sorry if you don't like books but I like to read in my spare time." Said Katie
"Don't be sorry it's perfect." Said Hermione she went over to a bookshelf and read the titles on the spine of the books.
"You like books?" Asked Katie amazed
"Like them I love them, I was the most smartest wi- student in my class." Said Hermione.
"I thought you would be into music and things." Said Katie not noticing that Hermione had almost told her secret.
"Oh no I love to read it's brilliant." Hermione smiled still looking at the books.
"Come on I'll show you you're bedroom." Hermione cast one last look at all the books and followed Katie through the door next to the kitchen. It was a hallway with three doors down the left side of it.
"Right the first door's my bedroom the second door is the bathroom and the third door is you're bedroom." Explained Katie.
Hermione walked down the hallway and opened the door to her bedroom. The floor was carpeted a dark blue, the walls were painted white the boarders were a light blue. In the middle of the room was a double bed its headboard leaning against the back wall there was another big window on the right hand side, above it were some wooden blinds. There was a wardrobe and dresser on the left side of the room.
"Wow." Katie smiled and went into her own room to get changed out of her medical outfit.
Hermione walked around in her room getting used to the idea that it as her room for a while. Katie came back into the room her hair was down now falling to the length just below her shoulder blades she was wearing a light yellow blouse and some jeans.
"Hey do you want to go into town we can buy you some clothes if you like?"
Why was she being so nice, clothes, a place to stay not that she minded but it was weird.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Hermione mentally kicked herself for being so rude. Katie looked surprised by the question but then sighed.
"I found you alright, you were outside this block of flats unconscious so I took you to the hospital and I was just put in your care." Katie kept her eyes on the ground
"There's something you're not telling me, Katie if I'm going to be living here then I want the truth because frankly you're a stranger to me." Said Hermione.
"Ok but I want the truth from you to." Said Katie Hermione nodded.
"When I found you there was this blue glow around you as I got closer to you I could hear like whispering it's sounded like some people were talking to you I thought I made out about three voice's all male. When I checked you pulse, the voices and the blue glow disappeared." Hermione's eyes widened but didn't say anything.
"Are you a witch?" Hermione's eyebrows shot up to the roof of her forehead at Katie's question.
"W- what?" She asked in shock
"My boyfriend was a wizard, this room used to be his for all his magic but he died two years ago in a fire trying to help someone out but he got caught up in the flames I got rid of all the magical stuff he left here." Katie took breath "I couldn't understand how you had this blue swirl around then it hit me that you could be a which so tried to wake you but it didn't work so I took you to hospital where you were put in my charge." There was silence.
"I- I'm a witch I was helping my friends fight the evilest wizard of all time when I got hit by a spell it must of transported me here because the next thing that happened to me I woke up in hospital." Hermione said sitting on her bed.
"I thought you wanted to find these people you mentioned." Said Katie sitting next to her.
"I do it's just the last time I saw them we had this really big fight over witch's and wizards." Explained Hermione.
"Why would you fight about that anyway and who are they?" Asked Katie.
"They didn't believe in the magical world as I did you see they were my…"
