Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it? I do not own Harry Potter.
After the talk with Ginny yesterday, Hermione had been feeling better. She looked up at her companion who was telling a funny joke. "So the Troll said to the Hippogriff-" George was cut off by the screams of people fleeing from the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione raised a brown eyebrow to George and he nodded. They pulled out their wands moving to the Leaky Cauldron as quickly as they could. Hermione's heart was beating rapidly and even more when she saw what was causing the ruckus.
There stood Yaxley and Rabastan Lestrange casting spells as the people ran. Yaxley was the first to spot the duo and a sinister smile crept up his face. He elbowed Rabastan in the gut, "Looky here it's the blood-traitor and his little mud-blood!". George scowled at the names and raised his wand, ready for anything thrown at him. Rabastan laughed with Yaxley. "Well, why don't we have some fun?" he said before spells and curses were fired.
George was holding up pretty good against Yaxley. 'Seems like someone wanted a rematch, to bad Lee not here.' George thought as he blocked a stunner. George took a quick look at Hermione. She was fighting Rabastan and it look like she was winning. Yaxley noticed George's eye fall on Hermione. He smiled evilly.
"Ah so you have a little crush on the mud-blood. Well isn't that rather cute." he said and laughed as if he just heard the funniest joke in the world. George's blood was started to boil. "To bad she won't be alive much longer." he continued. George looked at him with confusion. "What are you talking about Yaxley?" he yelled, anger rising inside him. Yaxley smirked. "You'll see." he replied
Everything seemed to go in slow motion from that point. Yaxley sent a body-binding spell at George and he was now unable to move. Yaxley walked over to Rabastan. Hermione's eye widen but still blocked Rabastan's spells and curses. Yaxley and Rabastan exchanged a looked and pointed their wands at Hermione. "STUPEFY!" they yelled together and two jets of light shot out of their wands, hitting Hermione square in the chest. "HERMIONE!" George yelled seeing his soon to be wife fly across the pavement crashing into the Leaky Cauldron.
Rabastan and Yaxley laughed loudly. Then Yaxley pointed his wand where Hermione landed and whispered something under his breathe. A blue glow came from the Leaky Cauldron. George's mind was racing but his body stayed stiff. "Well that was fun wasn't it Yaxley? I guess we should leave now before the aurors start to come." Rabastan said turning to his partner in crime. Yaxley nodded before they both disappeared out of his sight.
George could finally move his body and ran to aid Hermione. She was unconscious under the pile of rubble that was now the Leaky Cauldron. George shouted Expecto Patronum and a wisp of white came out of his wand and turned into a fox. "Harry, it's George, get the family and meet us at St. Mungos. Hermione is hurt, I'll explain later." he whispered before the fox ran in the direction of the Ministry. He looked down at Hermione's unconscious body. She was bleeding profusely from all corners of her body. George scooped Hermione gently into his arms, bridal style, and disappeared to St. Mungos.
George landed swiftly on his feet. "Can someone help me please!" he screamed, scaring everyone in the waiting room. A blonde nurse rushed up to them. "Oh dear! Someone get Healer Washington!" she shouted. The nurse, whose name apparently was Judy, waved her wand and a gurney appeared. She took Hermione out of George's arms and rolled her to the emergency unit. George tried to follow but was stop by security. He struggle against them at fist but then gave up and sat done, waiting for his family.
"Where is she?" asked a concerned voice coming from the entrance of the hospital. He looked up to see the worried face of his mother followed by the rest of the family. Molly ran up to George and embraced him in a hug. "How is she?" she whispered to his only ear. George looked at his mother, eyes filled with worry. "I don't know. They just took her away." Harry sat next to him. "What exactly happened George?" he asked quietly. George gathered the family around and told them what had happened.
After, everyone sat there in silence waiting for more news but none seem to come. Hours passed and everyone started to leave knowing George would inform them if anything happened. George's eyes started to droop along with his head. Sleep was starting to affect him but he willed himself not to. He wanted to be there when Hermione woke up. The nurse came out a moment later. Her eyes searched the room until they landed on the tired red-head. Everyone left earlier at some point knowing George would send them news if anything happened.
"Hermione Granger." the nurse said. George's head snapped up and he got out of the seat. "I'm here for Hermione Granger." he stated. The nurse gave him a sad smile. "Well, she'll wake up soon but we don't know when. Would you like to see her?" she asked gently. George nodded his head and Judy lead him into Hermione's room. "I'll leave you two alone." Judy said before closing the door. George took in the scene in front of him.
She was a sickly white and even stood out against the white hospital room. George grabbed a chair and moved it next to her bed. He gently grasped her hand into his. "Hey Hermione. The doctors say you'll wake up soon. I hope you do, everyone's worried." he whispered close to her ear. She didn't react. George sighed before getting up and heading o the door. A soft whisper stopped him. "George?"
All Hermione could see was darkness. She felt a horrible pain on the side of her stomach that was killing her. 'Damn Rabastan and Yaxley!' she thought to herself. Her head was pounding and she was sleeping in and out of conscious. Hermione felt someone pick her up into their arms. The last thing she felt like she was being squeezed into a tube.
Hermione opened her eyes to a bright white light. 'Am I dead?' she asked herself before seeing it was a hospital room. She looked around and spotted red. Hermione looked closer. "George?" she whispered, her throat was dry and hurting. George turned around and rushed to Hermione's side. "Hermione you're awake!" he exclaimed as he hugged her tightly. Hermione chuckled. "Yeah I know and can you let go. You're hugging is starting to hurt." she said. George let her go and gave a toothy smile. "Sorry." he said.
Hermione was trying to sit up when the nurse came. Judy looked up the file in her hand and smiled when she spotted Hermione. "Glad to see your up . How are you feeling?" she asked while writing down something on the file. "I feel fine except this pain on the side of my stomach." she replied. Judy nodded then took out her wand. "Okay, I'm going to do some spells to just check everything." Judy stated. She waved her wand over Hermione's body.
Hermione watched as the glow of lights around her change colors. From some of the books she's read, Hermione knew what certain colors meant. First it as green so that meant no internal bleeding. Then blue swirled around her, making George slightly uncomfortable for reason she did not know. It meant no organ damaged. The next color, red, was new to Hermione and apparently to Judy to because she asked for Healer Washington to come in immediately. Hermione started to worry. She felt a hand in hers and looked up to see George. "It's going to be okay." he whispered into her ear. 'I hope so.'
So who expected that? Yeah, I tried my best at the fighting seen but not my strong point. You know what to do from here so I'll leave you to it Bye! :)
