Regression

Chapter Five

A middle aged man sat up on his desk, speaking to an officer. One of his friends who really tried to talk the man into going home. He still had a bandage on his neck, that hid the stitches he got a little over a week ago. He never recalled what happened. He just knows the outcome. Back at a desk. It wasn't all bad. He got to work more one on one with children or victim of abuse. He felt he was able to help them more this way, but he disliked being limited, so much because of the condition he had since he was a small big himself.
His friend picked up the lastest picture Allen bought to work. "How old are they know? Five birthdays a year throw me off." He smiled lightly at his friend. "Danny is 20, Draco's 19, Holly is 14, Phoenix is 6 and Sue is 3." He replied, as the picture got sit back down. "You really should to home. Even Danny says you haven't went a full 48 hours without-" He was quick to shake his head lightly. "Sitting at home when all the kids are at school won't do me any good." He raised an eyebrow. "The wife gone again?" He frowned. "Not that it's your business, but no. She's resting." The man went to open his mouth, but the female officer walked in the area. "Allen, let me show you something." She said and Allen raised an eyebrow, but got to his feet. "Let's not start with the questions about my wife." He spoke to his friend, before following the female officer down the hallway.

"She's in trouble, Allen." Spoke the female officer and Allen let out a sigh. "It isn't-" She put a hand up to shut him up. "I know she's magical, it's the only locally explanation. I also know she's in trouble, and Draco must be a target." Allen grabbed her arm and pushed her into an empty room. "It isn't your business." Allen said kind of softly and the three teenagers pushed opened the door. Draco quickly wiggled down and ran over to Allen. "Daddy!" Allen raised an eyebrow at the boy before lending down and picking him up. "It is our business, however. Is Narcissa with you?" Harry asked and after Allen dismissed the other officer and settled Draco on his hip, who help tightly to his shirt. "She's at the house, but my mother ended up sedating her." He waited to stay more, he wasn't sure if they understood the lingo or not. "Did she say why?" Hermione asked and eased Draco down to his feet. "I need you to keep ginny company for me, can you do that?" Draco frowned. "I wanna stay with you. I know...you got hurt...and it was my fault." Draco wanted to cry. "Stop that kind of thinking Draco. You had no control over his action. Neither one of you two do. Go to Ginny." Draco was give a little push and he whine out, but the toddler soon disappear form the empty room.

"How the hell did he even get out?" Harry shook his head. "I don't have the article, but I doubt it stated it. We don't live there anymore, and any information we hear is second hand... Information can easily be lost." Harry replied and Allen let out a sigh. "I'm not sure. All I can do is try to make the wounds with the last ones, but there never the same, or just reopens old scars. It was years later I even really learned what happened the first time." He admitted. "What's wrong with her, right now?" Hermione asked. "I'm not sure, and we can't really take her to the doctor. I can't explain the marks and nothing is taking the fever away. It's not too high, but it won't go away." Allen frowned. "Is your fire place set up by chance?" Hermione asked. "The children aren't to know, but yes. After ten, once the children, well Danny knows now." He lost his train of though and brought a hand to his head. Harry eased him to sit. "You alright? Draco said something about-" He didn't get to finish. The man slipped into he floor and broke out into a seizure.

An hour later, Allen was waking up. A hand going to his head before he opened his eyes to see little Draco and Sue sitting on the side of the hospital bed. "Danny, daddy's awake!" Called Sue. "Your fiance says you haven't ate all day. Could you take the little ones to the cafeteria?" Hermione really didn't want to miss the conversation, but felt the kiss on her cheek. "You really should eat. Harry will fill you in. Half the words I don't understand, at all." Ron smiled lightly and after a moment she nodded. "Sue. Draco. Phoenix. Go with auntie." Danny just quickly called her. "I wanna stay with daddy." Draco was teary eyed, but let Hermione pick him up. "Your daddy will be just fine." Hermione said and Harry walked over. "We have to talk, and you don't need to hear it right now. It's the only way to help everybody and mommy, okay?" Harry said, giving him a pat on the head. Draco sniffled, but nodded. Sue grabbed her hand, and Phoenix followed Hermione out the hospital room.

Allen slowly sat up in the hospital bed. His daughters, Danny and Holly stayed. Danny was full aware of the hidden magic her mother tried so hard To hide and with Holly, she was magical. Just a little, but it was there. "Now, how the hell is Draco four years old?" She half whined. "Your mother, that's all I know." Allen whispered, before throwing his legs off the side of the hospital bed to stand up. "It's a very advanced spell, one she'll have to reverse. I don't think she's going to be willing to." Hermione said.
