As she aparates in the alley just a few buildings from the Pub, she notices an ambulance and police cars parked out front. Her heart begins to race and she takes off running as fast as she can in her heels. As she gets up to the building, she is unable to get through because of the crowd of people and police tape. Trying to look passed the people, she can hardly see, until the EMT's bring out a stretcher.
Her heart stops.
"Let me through! Let me through! Draco!" People begin to move and Hermione heads towards the rig. Getting there, she sees him fully.
Gut shot.
"Draco!" He isn't responding to her cries and panic sets deeper in. "That's my husband! I need to go with him!"
She hangs on the arm of a male EMT and pleads with him. She knows if she said boyfriend they wouldn't allow her to go.
But husband- that's a different story.
Climbing into the ambulance, she sits on the bench and holds his hand as they hook him up to oxygen and use occlusive dressing on his abdomen.
"What happened? Is he going to be alright?!"
"Miss, I need you to calm down. The men inside have given their statements to the police. Your husband was shot by a masked suspect- who ran off before they could catch them."
"Is he going to be alright?"
"We're doing the best we can. When we get him to the hospital we can locate the damage done by the bullet and go from there. Best we can do is remain calm." As the ambulance speeds to the hospital, Hermione knows she can help1 if the Muggles would just look away for a brief moment or two.
"What's his name?"
"Draco Lucius Malfoy." The EMT looks at her as if she's joking and when they realize she isn't they right it down.
"Birthday?"
"June 5th, 1980."
"Thank you. Your name is?"
"Hermione."
"Alright, Hermione- we are a minute out from Queen Anne's Hospital." As they pull in and remove the stretcher from the rig, she rushes after them and can't catch her breath. She's so worried. She just needs to help him. She needs to get him episky and a few health potions, and remove the bullet with a summoning spell.
"You need to wait here." A nurse says demandingly as Hermione tries to follow them back to the OR.
"No! I need to be with my husband!"
"I know you're upset and worried, but he is in good hands. I need you to go sit in the waiting area and we will let you know when you can go back me see him." Growling, Hermione follows directions- though she doesn't want too.
Looking around, she can't sit. She can't calm down and she doesn't want to wait.
How is she supposed to do any of that?!
How is she supposed to sit idly by when Draco has been shot in the abdomen?!
But she waits.
Impatiently.
She paces and sighs and huffs and taps her foot.
She wishes she still had her Time Turner. She would have set it to before she left- so she could run home and figure out what the fuck happened to Draco.
After about an hour and a half of waiting, she's had enough. Going up the the nurses station, she waits until they notice her.
"Can I help you?"
