I have woken up to the sound of birds, and sunlight peaking through my blinds, in the lodge.

I am lying down, I feel really lazy, and yet it's only our first week/day here.

My mum knocks on my door.

"Come in!" I shout, from my bed, sitting up and fixing my hair so I don't look like such a mess.

"Morning, Honey." She says, sitting down at the edge of my bed.

She looks at me with a somewhat, worried expression.

"What's wrong mum, you seem worried." I say, studying her features.

"Aurelia, honey. Last night, when you went to bed..."

"Yeah?"

"Draco passed out. Not as in sleeping, but, as in, unconscious." My mum says, ready to see my reaction.

"Wait, Wait. What?" I say, sitting up even more. "Where is he? I need to see him? Is he alright??"

Worry fills my heart. I tie my hair back and clean up my clothes, then running to his room.

I open the door. He isn't there. I turn back and look at my mum.

"Where is he?" I ask, fast and desperate.

"Aurelia. Calm down. He didn't wake up for around ten minutes, so Narcissa and Lucius took him to the hospital." She explains to me, she seems calm, she's trying to calm me down.

I hug my mum. Am I overreacting? Yes. Do I need a hug? Also Yes.

"We'll go see him after breakfast, okay?" My mum says softly, planting a kiss on my hair, rubbing my back slowly, trying to calm me down.

...

10:30- at breakfast

I've barely touched my food, mostly just moving it around with a fork.

And, I can tell my mum and dad are both worried about me.

My dad is sitting next to my mum.

Each of them giving what they think are subtle looks to each other.

"Lia, honey." My dad says softly, calling me by one of my nicknames. "Let's go see Draco."

My face lights up, and I don't waste a single moment. I go and get my shoes on, with my parents, then we leave the house.

...

11:45AM- at the hospital

In the elevator, It's very awkward. I'm just wanting to get to Draco, and everyone is silent, until, my stomach rumbles.

I pretend to look around, blaming it on someone else.

But, can you blame me? I'd rather not be embarrassed. Especially not right now.

The elevator doors open at a floor that isn't our stop, letting an elderly couple in, who somehow in the love of Merlin know my parents.

My parents and them have a chat, and then we go out to our floor.

"Where is he.." I mutter, mostly to myself than anyone else, although, you can hear the panic in my voice.

We walk to the ward, and go to his room.

My face lights up, and he's asleep, and Narcissa and Lucius are talking with my parents.

I sit at the side of his bed, smiling slightly, brushing his hair out his face, and holding his hand.

Now all it is, is waiting for him to awaken.
