Chapter 29

"Severus honey, what day is it? What happened after Madame Pomfrey arrived, I don't remember after that?" I ask.

"It's Sunday, my love. You passed out. We all apparated to St. Mungo's and they fixed your punctured lung, healed the broken ribs and your gash in your face." He sits next to me on the bed and caresses my face. "I was so terrified you would die when I saw you were coughing and throwing up blood. I was afraid I couldn't get you enough help in time. You looked so fragile and small." He leans down and puts his head on my shoulder. I reach my arms around him and start rubbing his back and neck. I tilt my head over on his.

"I'm sorry you had to get so afraid for me and go through all that. I know how it hurts you to feel that kind of emotion. I love you so much, but I was not afraid because I felt safe with you taking care of me. I knew you would do the right thing to save me." I lifted his face caressing the side and kissed him. "How is Harry? I know it scared him so much."

"He is at home with Augusta and Neville. I didn't know what to do, and I had to be here with you. Clive wants to kill Denise McDaniels. I had to calm him down. You spent only a few hours with that man total and inspired, such great loyalty from him. Your friendships become so solid, so quickly, it astounds me. I never could make friends like that." I pull him in and kiss his cheek.

"I'll show you how my darling. Can we go home soon?" I said.

"I'll go get the healer." He got up and left the room. Severus came back in with Healer Barrington.

Healer Barrington says, "Well look who is awake and wanting to go home? How are you feeling Arianna?"

"I'm tired and sore in the rib area, but ok." I said.

"Well let me do a scan and see how much you have healed so far internally." He waved his wand over me and said, "Looks like your ribs are knitting well, the tissue on your lung has progressed too, but you could use another blood restorative. Your blood count and pressure is a little low. I want you to increase your fluids over all. Now your face has healed fantastically and you shouldn't even have a scar at all. Let me go get you the blood restorative and I think we will be able to let you go home today, but you must take it easy for the next couple days." He leaves out the door of the room.

"Do I have any clothes to wear home honey? I ask.

"Yes, your dress and bra were destroyed from blood and tears. I took the rest home. I brought you a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt, some underwear, and shoes and socks and your cloak. I didn't bring a bra because of your ribs." He told me.

"That was very thoughtful, Severus. Thank you, honey." I smiled at him.

The healer came back in and handed me the blood restorative potion. "I am having the paperwork written up to get you discharged, so you should get dressed and ready to go in the meantime." I drank it down and handed him back the bottle. I took a drink of water to kill the taste.

"Thank you , so much Healer Barrington. I appreciate your time and care. I also appreciate how much everyone did that helped me while here. I won't forget that." He just smiled at me and patted me in the shoulder.

"You're quite welcome, young lady. Have a good day, both of you." He said to us and left the room. Severus helped me get dressed, we finished the discharge paperwork and we apparated home.

Once we got home and got in the door, two little mini men came flying at me. Severus said quickly,"Careful boys, she's been hurt. Be gentle." They put on their excited brakes.
