Hermione sagged into the couch. She had spent the whole day putting up with her family's crap and spent the last hour trying to get the twins to bed.
Hermione heard a buzz, signaling her phone had gone off. She quickly grabbed her phone and saw three unread messages.
From: Harry
Have you heard?
10 minutes ago
From: Ron
I'm so sorry. I just saw what happened. How are you doing?
8 minutes ago
And the last one was one that surprised her most.
Blaise
I don't know if you've heard, but you need to turn on the news. Now.
1 minute ago
Hermione fumbled for the remote for the tv and quickly turned it on once she found it.
Top story:
Draco Malfoy, CEO of Malfoy Industries, has been in a fatal car accident only 30 minutes ago. No word on how he is doing or if he is going to live, but we'll keep you updated. Kelly Smith, London.
Hermione dropped the remote in shock. The sound of rain hitting the windows knocked her out of her headspace. The brunette quickly through on a robe and ran to the elevator, pressing floor 23.
She bolted out once the doors finally opened. Once seeing the mahogany door with the numbers 573 on them, she ran to it. Hermiones fists pounded on the door in panic, hoping someone would answer.
Hermione exhaled in relief when the door opened.
"Hermione? What are you doing here?" Annabeth asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Listen I'm sorry to do this to you but an emergency came up and I need you to watch the kids for a little bit. Here are the keys to the suite. Thanks so much, you're a life saver," Hermione rushed the word out and shoved the keys into the blondes hands.
Hermione rushed off, leaving Annabeth gaping like a fish in the doorway.
Her footsteps echoed as she rushed down the stairs in the main lobby, rushing towards the apparition fireplaces. She ran into one and grabbed floo powder.
"Saint Mungos!" Hermione yelled with pain and panic laced in her voice.
She saw a flurry of green and ash before she appeared in saint mungos. Hermione ean up to the receptionist desk and asked, "Hello, I'm here to see my husband. He was admitted only a few minutes ago. Maybe thirty. His name is Draco Malfoy?" The nurse looked up and gave her a sympathetic look.
"He's right down the hallway sweetie. Room 316."
Hermione ran down the hallway until she saw the room number. 316. Her husband was in there. The love of her life.
Her hand slowly reached for the knob.
"Oh hello dear. I'm so glad you're here. How are you feeling!"
Hermione jumped in fright and looked over to see none other than her mother in law, Narcissa Malfoy.
"Umm well I only found out about five minutes ago, so I think I'm handling it pretty well." Hermione turned back to the door and opened it. Why she saw made her heart break.
Draco later in a hospital bed, a heart monitor beeping slowly. He was bruised and bleeding a little. His head was bandaged as was his arm. His leg was held up, elevated, showing it was broken. His pale skin was black and blue.
Tears spring to Hermiones eyes as she looked at her husband. She rushed over and gripped his hand tightly, causing the man to move slightly but not enough to wake up.
"Come on Draco. Fight. For me. For Cassie and Scorp. For your parents. For us."
