Harry Potter and the Death Dodger

Chapter 15

"She'll wake up soon. We need to ask you a few questions before we let you see her." said the paremedic.

They were now in the hospital wing. Hermione and Ron sat together in the couch, holding hands, while Scorpius sat nervously at the back of the room, attempting to avoid making eye-contanct with Ron and everytime they did make eye contact Scorpius would look away and Ron would growl at him.

"Didn't you see what happen, sir? She fell and hit her head! What kind of questions could you possible have?" shrieked Hermione.

"She's alive, ma'am." said the paramedic.

"Yeah, so?"

"Giving the altitude of the platform and how she hit her ahead, she shouldn't, but she is." said the paramedic, "With all due respect, ma'am, we have to ask you these questions."

"She's a Death Dodger." interrupted Scorpius.

"Excuse me," Hermione stood up, "How would you know that about my daughter and we don't?"

"It happen at the start of the term. She had a weird dream and she told me about it." said Scorpius.

"Well, that's how it normally starts. Did anything weird happen?" asked the paramedic.

"She can move thing with her mind. First, she lifted a table and crashed it on... the ground. Then, she made the dental floss almost stitch Nessa's lips shut..."

"Nessa knows about this?" interrupted Hermione.

"Please carry on Mr. Malfoy." said the paramedic giving Hermione a weird look that shut her up almost immediately.

"And then something weird happened with Albus, but I don't know how to explain it." continued Scorpius.

"Why would my daughter share this with you? With you, of all people?" Ron cornered Scorpius at the back of the room, "Why would she go out with you? Why is this happening with you? I'm started to think you're the source of all her problems"

He got interrupted by Madam Pomfrey.

"She's awake." said Madam Pomfrey looking at Ron, " Ah, Ron and Hermione Weasley, I guess your family has a thing for me. It's nice to see you both."

"Nice to see you too." said Hermione.

Ron poked Scorpius on the chest once and walked away with a stern look on his face.

"Hey, Rosie." Ron ran next to the bed.

Harry and Ginny were already with Rose.

"Scorpius" said Rose quietly.

"Why does this always happen to me? I walk in the room it's like I don't exist, I just happen to be her father!" complained Ron.

"There's a lot of red heads in her family, there's only that one blonde." laughed Harry.

Scorpius blushed as everyone looked at him. Rose stretched out her hand invintingly for Scorpius to take. He took it and stroked it gently and kissed her forehead. She stroked his face gently.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" their noses touched.

"I'm okay. Like nothing ever happened. I'm just tired. Can you stay with me tonight?"

"I don't think you're father will allow that." He said quietly and looked at Ron, staring at both with jealousy in his eyes. It was like he was jealous that his daughter was taking comfort in another men's arms.

"Don't mind him. He's just a little clingy." Giggled Rose.

"Rose," Hermione stepped closer, "Scorpius so kindly informed us that you are a Death Dodger, care to explain?"

"I-I don't really know what to say. I mean it's true, but do I have to explain for something I don't exactly know what it is?" Said Rose.

"We have some questions about this situation, do you feel up to it?" Said the paramedic standing next to the parents.

"Yeah..." she said looking at her bed.

"Would you mind leaving the room?" He asked looking at the Potters and the Weasleys.

"Why?" Asked Ron.

"It might affect the way she replies. We have a few personal questions and her reply might be different when the parents or close family members are around." The paramedic replied.

And like that everyone left the room.

"So, how does it feel being a DD?" He asked Rose.

"I suppose it feels weird."

"What about it feels weird?"

"I don't know. I mean I imagine this is what it would be like for a straight person finally realizing that's they're a little bendy, you get me?"

The paramedic laughed, "So it feels like coming out?"

"No! It feels like all of a sudden being different. Like you change so much in so little time"

"A person doesn't just become a DD. Normally there's a stressor. A stressor is-"

"I know what a stressor is. I'm a Ravenclaw and I watch Criminal Minds"

"What do you think your stressor is?"

Rose looked down.

"Rose, did someone hurt you?"

"No."

"Then what was it?"

"My leg." She said with her eyes filled with tears.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"No, I'd rather not." Practically screaming.

"Do you wish me to leave?"

"No that's kay."

"Okay. Do you want to be dismissed right away?" Rose nodded, "Then you have to be stable, promise?"

"Sir, I'm not six." She stood up and left to find her family
