Auror's Son | Book 5 Harry Potter x OC

Chapter 22: Change

"Wren's got a pulse!" Raven stopped the curse upon hearing Carlos' words.

BA-DUM!

"She's coming back to us!" Carlos proclaimed.

BA-DUM!

Daphne's hold on Raven loosened and he struggled to slip from her grasp. He felt her tighten her grip on him again, though helping him to stand rather than holding him down.

She's alive? Raven questioned in his mind, completely disoriented. Daphne then walked him over to where his mother was, her mind hazy. They moved past Auror's who were previously going to stop Raven from killing Dolohov before Daphne had gotten to him first.

"Mum?" Raven choked, breathing heavily as they knelt down to her.

"We need to get her to St. Mungo's." Nymphadora said. She and Carlos used their wands to raise her up and carry her.

"NO!" Dolohov shouted, struggling against his chains. "SHE SHOULD BE DEAD! I KILLED HER!"

Raven turned and glared daggers at his father's killer. He then attempted to stand up, being assisted by his girlfriend, but he saw his eyes darken and felt his body give out.

"Woah, Raven!" Daphne gasped, barely catching him before he fell on his face. "Hey." She held his face with one hand, seeing his eyes closed.

"I'll take him." Moody said, raising his godson up with his wand, letting Daphne's arms rest.

"Is he?" Daphne worried, standing up.

"He's likely just exhausted." Moody assured. "Stay and help the others, we'll make sure Wren and Raven are taken care of. Thanks for helping me earlier."

Daphne nodded, agreeing, even though she wanted to accompany her boyfriend. She watched him being carried away, terribly worried for him. She hoped his mother would be able to recover safely and not pass again. Seeing her come back to life was a welcome surprise. She knew Raven would be relieved, though she would anticipate that he'd still blame himself.

She saw Dumbledore enter the room again, accompanied by the Minister and many other Ministry workers. All of the Death Eaters, with the exception of Bellatrix Lestrange were captured and being chained to be sent to Azkaban.

She saw her other friends, with the exception of Harry, walking towards her: Hermione and Ron were being carried due to their states, and Ginny was being assisted by Neville and Luna due to her broken ankle. Dumbledore made them use a portkey to be sent to the Hospital Wing so Madam Pomfrey could tend to their wounds.

Madam Pomfrey hurried over to the crowd as soon as they landed in the center of the Hospital Wing. "These two need immediate medical attention." The male Auror carrying Hermione with his wand said, gesturing to her and Ron.

"Here, let me help you, dear." The female Auror said to Daphne, while Madam Pomfrey tended to Ron and Hermione, who were now on beds.

"Hmm?" Daphne hummed, looking towards the Auror; her mind was still processing everything that recently happened.

"You're bleeding." She said, pointing to Daphne's side.

Daphne looked down and saw that her robes were staining with blood from underneath. She hadn't realized that her wound had reopened. She didn't even feel it.

She led Daphne to a bed, and began to tend to her wound, while the male Auror tended to Ginny's ankle and help Neville remove the blood from his previously broken nose.Once everyone had been tended to, Madam Pomfrey made them all take a Sleeping Draught, as they all needed to get sleep after such a long night.
