After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 18 Book 3

Hidden

Maya ran around St. Mungos, finding healers and things that the healers needed. She wished she had a little more help, but Fred was trying to snap Draco out of whatever depression thing struck him, and Pansy was deeply injured. George and Solomon were the only ones helping her. She had to hurry, before Hermione's condition got any worse, and before it was too late to do anything about Justin.

Fred was supposed to be explaining to Draco how they got out by apparition. Fred and George still had the ability and managed to get everyone out in time. It was a miracle that they did though, or else everything would be lost. Hermione was breathing, and the healers stopped the blood flow, but she had already lost so much by the time that they got to her that she only had slim chance of making it through.

Justin was in a more critical condition than Hermione, he had no physical harm done to him, but on the inside, all his organs had been basically shredded from the inside. He had been hit with a cruciatous curse. For one as young as him, that was a devastating blow. He was no longer breathing, but the healers were still trying everything the could to bring him back.

Draco was untouched basically when it came to spells and physical damage, but seeing Justin like that, and then suddenly seeing Hermione a few moments later. According to the healers, it broke him, there was nothing the could do about it, even if Hermione and Justin did wake up, he might be able to talk again, but he wouldn't feel anything. Not unless they did something special to him.

They needed to figure out this apparating thing, if they didnt, things like this would happen again. Why were the Wanderers the only ones that couldnt apparate!? It was so frustrating! The Marauders didnt lose their ability to apparate when they became Anamagi!

Maya sighed and sat down when she delivered the last potion. She was sitting in front of Draco, his eyes were blank and staring at the floor. Solomon was sitting right next to him, he seemed to not even know anyone was there. He had to know they were there. Maya took his hand, he looked up at her, his eyes shaking.

"Where are they?" He asked. It was the first thing he'd said since the battle. Maya stood up, and he actually followed, she knew it shouldnt have surprised her, but it did. He sat down at her bedside and went unresponsive again. Maya found the healer that was mainly supervising Justin and Hermione.

"How are they?" Maya asked quietly. She frowned and looked down.

"We got the young boy breathing again, but we dont know how long we can keep him that way. He is very unstable. The cruciatous curse is very powerful on young children and we're suprised we got him breathing again. About the girl, Hermione. She should be fine, as long as she doesnt move, but we dont know if she'll be able to walk anymore at all-"

"-what if she was an animal?" Maya interrupted. The healer looked at her with furrowed brows, confusion written across her face.

"Well, umm....." She thought for a moment. "We have someone who specializes on animals, but, if im correct, turning into a animal would speed up the healing process slightly, and only slightly, but it might also be able to help her condition on the walking thing. Let me see the other healer and i'll be back to you in a moment." Maya nodded as the woman walked away. She made her way back to Hermione's room and put a hand on Draco's shoulder to see if she could get his attention at all.

"I talked to the healer. She says that Hermione will be just fine in time. And it might be better if she went into animal form. Otherwise she might never walk again." Maya said quietly, she glanced at the hazel eyed girl unconscious on the bed.

"And ...... the kid?" Draco asked, he was clearly unable to say Justin's name.

"He's alive, but they don't know how long it'll last." Maya whispered. Draco nodded and Maya left him alone to think. She wrapped her arms around George when she saw him. It was so hard to see her best friend in that bed, and the thought that she might never wake up scared her.

"Maya?" Maya turned and looked over her shoulder at the people George was pointing to.

"Mum? Dad?" Maya asked quietly.
