AN: I'm so very sorry it took so long for this chapter! I had a very hard time deciding where to go with it, so I put it off. Well, putting it off made me forget about it completely for a bit, but don't worry! I'm back! So without further ado, CHAPTER 13!

PS- look for the teaser for chapter 14 at the bottom!

"So all you had to do was put up a truce with him and he told you everything?" Harry asked disbelieving.

"I think he already trusted me. I think when he put up that truce, it was more for my benefit. He wanted me to trust him."

"Well, that makes sense. It would be stupid for someone not to put their trust in you." Harry replied.

I smiled. Then I looked to Scorpius. He looked peaceful, sleeping there. My eyes started to well up again. I just wish he would wake up. At that precise moment, he flinched.

"Scorpius?" I asked. Then I held my breath. I watched him shift around in his sleep. His eyes opened. I took a deep breath. My boy woke up! I felt so happy, I could hug him to death! So that's what I did.

"Hermione, be careful." Harry warned behind me. I let to of Scorpius and grinned sheepishly.

"Scorpius, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" I asked him.

"My head hurts, Mummy. And why can't I move my arm and my legs? They're so heavy!"

"Because you got an owie, honey. If you move your arm or your legs I much then it will make bigger owies, so the doctor put on special band-aids. Do you remember what happened, Scorp?" I asked him.

"I think so. Me and Al and James went outside to play. We wanted to play Quidditch, so I went inside and looked for a broom. I came back out and got on it and I flewed really high, Mummy! And then the mean, red-haired man came and when he saw me he told me to get down. But the broom wouldn't let me down, Mummy! I tried really hard! And then I fell off the broom, and that's all I remember." He replied.

I let out a breath of relief. I won't have to kill Ronald after all. I looked to Harry and Ginny. They were sitting quietly in the corner.

"Gin, could I use your phone?" I asked her.

She handed me the phone and stood up. "I'll go get the do for to let him know Scorpius has woken up." She left the room, still holding Cassi.

I opened the phone and dialed Draco's number. It barely rung once before he answered.

"Hello?" He sounded worried, but also a bit irritated.

"Draco? It's 'Mione. Is everything alright?" I replied.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Is everything alright there? Is Scorpius okay?"

"Yes. He just woke up." I told him.

"Okay. I'm coming over again."

"Sounds good. Should I call Cissa?" I asked.

"Yes please. She is probably wondering where we are. We've been gone for hours."

"You didn't go back there after you talked to the realtor?" I asked, confused.

"No. I went to see my father. I will tell you about it later. I'm going to apparate in just a few minutes, so I need to go now." He told me.

"Okay. See you in a few minutes." I hung up the phone.

I opened it again and called Narcissa. When she answered, I told her everything. When I finished, there was silence on the other end.

"Is he okay?" She finally asked.

"Yes. He woke up about five minutes ago. You can come down if you'd like. We are in room 492 of the Children's Ward."

"I will be there shortly. Goodbye, Hermione."

"Bye, Cissa. See you soon." I replied and hung the phone back up. I handed it to Ginny, who was back now.

"The doctor will be here shortly." She told me.

"Ya know, 'Mione, when you talk to Malfoy on the phone you sound like you're talking to, like, a client or something." Harry said.

"In Wizarding Russia, they use Muggle phones a lot. I worked in the complaint section of MLE for a while. When Draco and I first became friends, he would call while I was at work so we could meet up for dinner. The only problem was that I was t allowed to take personal calls during work hours, so I talked to him like he was calling to make a complaint. After doing it for so long, I guess it just sort of stuck." I replied.

Just then Draco walked in. He strode over to Scorpius.

"Scorpius, how are you?" He asked.

"I'm good, Daddy, but I'm not allowed to move my arm or my legs and my head hurts."

Before Draco could reply, Narcissa and the doctor walked in. Narcissa rushed over to Scorpius side while the doctor began to check Scorpius over. He then turned to Draco and me.

"Everything seems to be fine. You may take him home if you want. You will have to bring him back in the late afternoon tomorrow for him to have his casts removed." He said.

"The bones will be fully mended by then?" I asked him.

"I'll be sending you with medication that will get rid of pain and also speed up the recovery sevenfold. It's very safe. He still shouldn't do too many strenuous activities for three or four days though. And I'm going to be contacting the Aurors because I have to file a report. So-" Harry cut him off.

"That won't be necessary. I will file the report." He said.

The doctor looked at him skeptically before recognizing him."Of course, Mr. Potter. I will go get Mr. Malfoy's prescription and a copy if the report I wrote up so that you may include that in his file." He said, before leaving quickly.

Narcissa was whispering to Scorpius. Probably promising to kill Ron and to buy him lots of toys and treats. I rolled my eyes. Typical grandmother.

Other than that, it was completely silent in the room. It was a long couple of minutes before the doctor came back. He handed Harry a few pieces of paper, then turned to me and handed me a bottle that was blank except for directions and ingredients. I frowned. Where was the name?

"Excuse me, sir, but where's the name of this medication? I don't see it anywhere." I asked him.

"One of our very own potion masters created it, and it hasn't been released in all the other facilities. The maker hasn't created an appropriate name for it yet, and so it can't go anywhere else yet. We were given special permission to distribute it when needed because one of our own created it. I assure you that it is quite safe." He said. I nodded my head in understanding. "Does anyone else have any questions?" He asked, looking at everyone in the room.

"Yes. I do." Harry said. "This here says that Scorpius was only barely in the classification of being comatose. What's the minimum amount if time for it to be considered a coma?"

"Six hours. And Scorpius was out for about six hours and twelve minutes."

"Alright. Thank you for explaining that to me." Harry replied.

"Will that be all?" The doctor asked once more.

"Yes." I replied.

"Then you may go. Please bring Scorpius back at about 4:30 tomorrow to remove his casts. There is a wheelchair outside that you may use until then." The doctor told us and left.

Nobody did anything for a few minutes. Then Narcissa stood up.

"Well, I will see you back at home. Dinner should be ready when you get there. I was making the dessert when you called, but I asked Twinkie to finish so that I could come down here. I will go finish helping now." She said to us. Then she turned to Harry and Ginny. "Will you and your family be joining us?"

"We don't want to intrude." Ginny replied.

"Nonsense. You are a family of four, correct?"

Harry nodded.

"I insist you come! You all need to catch up! You've been talking about what happened to Hermione. Now you must tell them what's been happening here. I will set a place for you all." Narcissa finished and left, not leaving room for an argument.

"We should go too. We'll have to get the boys before we come over. Can we just floo to the Manor?" Harry said to me.

"Yes. There is only one floo open to visitors, so you all should be fine. A house elf shoos be there to help you to the dining room." I replied.

"Speaking of house elves, what happened with spew? I thought you hated the enslavement." Harry asked.

"First of all, it's S.P.E.W., not spew. Second, I changed the standards once I realized that the elves didn't want to be freed. A lot of them also don't want money. They were okay with vacations and time off though. Narcissa's house elves get four days a month, not including sick days." I answered.

Harry silently nodded before leaving with Ginny. Draco brought the wheelchair in and got Scorpius in it. I out Cassi in the car seat, and we left.

The rest of the evening went smoothly. The Potters came to the Manor and we talked about our friends that still lived in London. The boys talked animatedly, like nothing had happened. We promised to meet up in the next few days, and then the Potters left. We put Scorpius and Cassi to bed. It was very quiet after that. Shortly after, I went to bed as well.

It was a long and tiring day, and I wanted to forget it had even happened.

Chapter 14 Teaser:

"Draco, what's wrong?" I asked him.

He exhales. "On the phone, I told you I went to see my father." I wanted for him to say more, but he didn't.

"Yes. What happened?"

"I got there, and they told me he had escaped."

I gasped.
