Chapter 15 - Watching Over You

James POV

I wasn't sure how I had managed to be able to stay here the whole time she'd been in here, no one had been able to move any of us. Thia was lying motionless in a bed, no more blood and no long cuts or lacerations but we'd be told that she'd lost a lot of blood by the time they had gotten her to the hospital wing. Scorpius was sitting on the bed next to hers, Orion next to him. Dominique was sitting in a chair at the end of Thia's bed and Professor Granger was next to her bed in a chair clutching Thia's hand, she looked tired and exhausted but she to refused to move. Professor Malfoy had only left to see about Avery's punishment which had yet to be decided. Rose and Violet sat huddled next to Dominique on chairs, they'd appeared as soon as they'd heard. Lily was lying on the bed behind me, our mum by her old best friend's side clutching her hand, even my dad was here, talking calmly with our uncle Draco.

It was killing me to see her like this and part of me wanted to leave and go and find Avery and kill him, the other half didn't want to leave her...

"Draco.. When will she wake up?" Professor Granger asked looking in my dad and uncles direction.

"Soon hopefully, she was in a worst state then I was Hermione..." He said sounding tired and pained. I watched my dad's face fill with regret before excusing himself and walking out of the hospital. I hopped up and followed him.

"Dad." I called when we got outside the doors and he was looking out the window.

"James." He said sighing deeply as I walked to stand next to him. "Sorry mate for walking out, just needed a minute."

"Why?" His reaction seemed strange and I remembered when I'd heard him mentioned or who I guessed was him earlier.

"I don't know how much you know James but in school non of us got on very well with your Uncle Draco and especially not your Aunty Hermione who used to fight with him constantly, he was pretty cruel to her in school. Your Uncle Ron didn't get along with him then and their still not the greatest of friends now but he and I didn't get along either and at one stage I saw him in the bathroom, he'd been set a task by Lord Voldemort and we later found out that if he didn't do it Voldemort was going to kill him and his parents but it was destroying him. I caught him in a moment of weakness and attacked him, using the same spell that was used on Thea today. I at the time didn't even know what the spell did, I'd seen it scrawled in the back of a potions textbook. I instantly regretted it and if it hadn't been for Professor Severus Snape he would have died. I just needed a minute it was to much to think that I did that to Draco what someone has now done to his daughter." I could hear the guilt and pain through my usually happy and tough fathers words. I could see now why he'd have to take a minute and why Uncle Draco had mentioned it happening to him. Sometimes it was hard to imagine my uncle and dad not getting along.

"Wow sometimes I forget Dad that you guy's weren't always like this." I said looking at my dad who turned to give me a smile.

"James sometimes it's hard for me to remember that time to. You like her don't you?" I almost fell over when my dad looked at me with a grin.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I said trying to remain calm, what did he want to do sit down and have a good old girly chat.

"It's ok son, if she's anything like her mum or your mum or your grandma Lily, your in for a real ride." He said grinning at me and it wasn't the first time I'd heard someone mention Grandma Lily and I had no clue why. "Because one thing's for sure, Albus is like me and you my boy from what I know, have been shown and told you are exactly like your Grandpa James." He said and I could see some sadness in his eyes. I liked the thought of being like him, he was famous, a marauder, a legend, a hero! "Come on, lets go back in?" He said throwing his arm over my shoulder before leading me back in.
