Medical Miracle- Drarry Fanfic

Chapter 5

The next morning, I awaken next to Harry's sleeping form. My attention draws to a hand shaped bruise on his side, just below his armpit. The impression of a ring on the pointer finger of the hand.

Silently, I lift my right hand and examine the silver band on my pointer finger. When I place my hand over his bruise, I find it's a perfect match.

With a soft smile, I move down in bed and place my lips to his side. When I do, he turns in his sleep and I see another hand shaped bruise on the other side, only this one is just above his hip, and there's a ring on the middle finger and the pointer finger.

It match my left hand, perfectly. When I place my hand on it, he speaks, tiredly "I love you."

I look up at him, to find he's barely awake. After moving up, I kiss his forehead, before whispering "I love you, too."

He gives a weak smile, before falling asleep. After a long moment, I crawl out of bed and instantly feel like shit.

My body feels like I haven't slept in days and my throat is sore, I'm stuffy, and nauseous.

When I walk downstairs to get a glass of water, mother turns to me and asks "Are you alright, darling?"

I furrow my brow and declare "I don't feel so well."

She stops cooking breakfast immediately, to check my temperature. She looks to me in concern "You're burning up!"

I sigh "Shit." She looks to me in concern and I explain "Few weeks after infection, you have a short period of flu-like symptoms."

She gives a confused look "Weren't you infected months ago?"

I nod, before declaring "I've probably had it all alone, but I may have only had a single viral pathogen enter my bloodstream. It could have taken days to reproduce in a host cell, and from there, was undetectable for six months, to the point my body just now thinks I'm getting sick."

She nods, before I feel a sneeze coming on. When I sneeze, she asks "That's possible?"

I shrug, before explaining "Jaime's strain causes the host to remain undetectable, until the last few months."

She gives a confused look, before I sneeze again. After I sneeze for the third time, she asks "Are you alright?"

I nod, before asking "Have we got the prophet, yet?"

As she flips a pancake, she tells me "Dining room table." I hum, before stepping into the dining room.

At nine o'clock, there's a knock on the door. When Harry answers it, he walks back into the dining room with Olivia and Scott.

I give them a weak smile, before Olivia asks "Where is everyone?"

I take a moment, before declaring "They won't be here until half past." I take Harry's hand and declare "We need to tell you something, before they arrive."

Scott furrows his brow and asks "What is it?"

I look to Teddy, before asking him "Run over to the cupboard and fetch me a candle, would you?"

He's on his feet in a moment, and back in less than ten seconds. When he sits it in front of me, I look to them and declare "There are some people, with the ability to do things that others can't."

They give a confused look, before I reach forward, grab the candle, and gently blow a flame onto it.

They stare in disbelief, as I sit the candle down. When I look to Teddy, I ask "Why don't you change your hair?"
