Future
Chapter 16: Awakenings,Nightmares and a Blossoming Romance
A/N:Thanks for the reviews.
It had been about two weeks since Lexi had been rescued from Voldemort and the Deatheaters and she was still laying in the hospital wing with hardly any improvements. Hermione,Ron,Harry,Luna,and Harry Arthur as well as Ginny and Neville had stayed in the hospital wing,sleeping in the hard chairs or beds,not wanting to leave Lexi's side. The only time they really moved was to go to the bathroom or to shower. Their food was brought to them by Dobby. Then one day,Hermione was sitting in a chair,holding her daughter's limp hand in her own warm one when she felt a gentle movement of fingers and then a squeeze. With a gasp she gazed down at her hand to see Alexandria's squeeze hers again.
With a cry of joy she awakened Ron,her son,and her friends.
Ron looked down,eyes widening in happiness as he saw his daughter's eyes flutter open gently. She let out a shuddering gasp and began to choke. Hermione hurriedly gave her some water and waited until Lexi said in a hoarse voice,"What happened?" she tried to lift herself up with her legs only to fall back into the pillow. "Oh god,what did they do to me?" she whimpered. She looked around her at the sad,solemn faces that surrounded her.
"What's wrong with my legs? Wh---why can't I move them,feel them..I---I." It dawned on her at that moment like a bad dream. She looked up,dark eyes filled with tears of pain and said,"I'm paralyzed aren't I?"
Harry Arthur let out a heaving,racking sob. Tears poured down his cheeks as he kept muttering 'I'm sorry' under his breath. Lexi looked at her brother wearily and began running a hand through his thick, red locks of hair.
"It isn't your thought,what happened. It could've happened to...anyone...really." she said weakly.
Just then Madame Pomfrey came in and said,"Oh good. Your awake Miss.Weasley. You can take your potion now and then get some more rest." She moved over to the bed,potion in hand and handed it to the girl in the bed.
Lexi took the potion frm the healer,uncorked it and swallowed it all down. She let out a disgusted 'ugh!' and layed back into the pillows,closing her eyes,"G'night everyone." She was asleep in seconds and everyone finally left the hospital wing,knowing that she would be awake in the morning.
Lexi was tossing and turning in her bed later that night, vividly grim and gruesome memories of what had happened to her at Voldemort's old home running through her head. It had hurt terribly,the crucio made it feel as if her body was being ripped apart violently,the beatings had been terrible and she wanted to stop thinking of everything that had happened to her but she couldn't. She just kept reliving it over and over in her nightmares. There was no way to stop it. It was something she would always remember.
Through all the weeks of worrying about Lexi,Harry and Luna had grown closer. It was fair to say that there was something wonderful blossoming between them. Since Ron and Hermione spent alot of their time watching the halls as headboy and girl,checking on their daughter,and spending time with their son Harry had spent most of his time talking with Luna. Realizing that there was so much more to that girl than he had ever thought.
He had to admit that she was also very brillliant,after all she had figured out that Lexi and Harry Arthur were Ron and Hermione's future children and Harry's future godchildren. And suddenly,as this ran through his brain,he realized something. He was falling for Luna Lovegood.
