Eyes of grey

Chapter 20

Layla had now been unconscious in the hospital for nearly a week and they were due to return to Hogwarts in a few days Draco had been back and forth from the manor to her room in St Mungos.

Draco's POV

I pulled the plastic chair next to Layla's bed closer so I could sit right next to her if what the healer said is true she should wakeup this afternoon or probably tomorrow morning I sat in the chair and held onto Layla's hand.

Can she hear me? No surely not..

"Layla squeeze my hand if you hear me" I said hoping for movement.
Nothing. I placed my hand on her stomach and felt it turn I hadn't thought about the fact that she can't eat since she's unconscious.

She's fine. She's fine. The healers know what they're doing.

I thought to myself although I knew Layla was in good hands I couldn't convince myself.
She is still on oxygen but not a high percentage and she Is mostly breathing on her own which is good her heart rate was the most no normal it had been in days.

7:00pm.

The healer that had been taking care of Layla knocked on the door before walking in I still sat beside Layla her hand in mine.
"Hello doc" I greeted him with a nod.
"Mr Malfoy" he nodded back.
"Seems like I'll be seeing you for a while so please call me Draco" I asked politely.
"Ok.. Draco I just came by to see if you had any questions"
"Actually I do" he nodded for me to carry on "I was just wondering can she hear us? I read once that sometimes people unconscious or in comas can hear what's going on" I questioned.

Did I just make myself look like an idiot? Merlin kill me now.

"That's correct she can most likely hear our conversation unless she's asleep" he replied. 
Asleep how in the wizarding world could she be asleep? Just go with it.

"Oh right just one more thing how is she getting fed?" I asked.
"That IV has a mixture in that will keep her nourished" he replied.

right I forgot about that.

"It's quite possible she will be awake in the next hour or two maybe tomorrow morning so I advise you stay if you want to be here when she comes around" the healer stated.
"Ok thank you for coming to check on us" I thanked him quite grateful he has answered my questions.

Eight O'Clock rolled around then nine then ten still nothing I honestly feel like Im alone in this room Layla really didn't seem like she could hear me at all I asked countless times and got no reply or sign. I continued to sit with her I couldn't bare to look at her anymore it was breaking me I had to distract myself somehow i pulled a quill out of my bag as well as some parchment.

Mother.
Tell Larissa nothing has changed here but Layla is fine. Also please send my guitar I'm getting pretty overwhelmed by everything thank you.

Draco x

I folded the paper into the shape of a bird and blew on it to make it fly from a small open window my mother replied quite quickly thank Merlin.

Draco

Open the floo I'll send it now use a charm too keep it quiet though don't disturb anyone.
Love you my little dragon.
xxxx

Draco grumbled at the ridiculous nickname his mother had used for as long as he could remember Draco stood up and opened the small door to the floo a cupboard used to send things in and out of the hospital too and from home. He stood and watched the whole in the wall as a cloud of blue smoke appeared in the bottom then disappearing and leaving his guitar.
