Sarah Beth~
A couple weeks went by with out any problems. Ashley was at a day long day practice, so I had the day to myself. So, I plopped myself down on the couch, ready to waste twelve hourse of mindless telly. But after about two the fireplace lit up. I willed myself to get up and look into it. To my surprise, a furstrated DRaco Malfoy looked back at me.
"Hey, Sarah Beth?!" He yelled over the sounds of a screaming and crying baby and several loud bangs.
"Where are you?" I questioned, trying to look around him.
"St. Mungo's! I was wondering if-"
"DON'T YOU BLOODY TOUCH ME!" I heard Ellie yell. "I SWEAR IF YOU LAY A HAND ON ME, I'LL- AHH!" Draco looked behind him as another loud bang accured.
h"I've got her wand!" Another voice yelled out. DRaco sighed.
"I was wondering if you could do a favor for us!"
"Ah, sure. What?"
"Can you watch Scorpius for us tonight and tomarrow? Mum and Dad are away until then, and Vincent won't stop crying! We've been on edge since-"
"I'M NOT TAKING THAT!" Elle yelled. Slap!
"We've been on edge since yesterday, and Ellie finally broke down! She thinks he's crying because she's a bad mother! The healers said that it's a late case of colic! Anyway, she had an anxiety attak this morning and now they are trying, to, er-"
"NO! NO! I DON'T NEED IT!"
"Wrestle her down! We're going to have to stay here tonight until they'll let Elle go. Can you take Scorpse?"
"Yeah," I smiled, "I'd love to!"
"Can you pick him up here?"
"Of course!"

About an hour later I Flooed to the main floor of the phych ward. I went to the counter and asked what room she was in. Thy dircted me with out trouble.
Unlike earlier the other side of the door sounded strangley quiet. I quietly knocked on the door thn opened it. INside was, in fact, peaceful, despite the crying baby.
Draco was sitting on the edge of the bed waht Eleanor was laying on. She was on her side her eyes wide and clutching a green, stuffed dragon. Her cheste rose and fell in slow beathr. Draco had Vincnt in one hand and was running his othr through Ellie's hair. Her two dogs sat on eithr side of her like palace gaurds. Scorpius was laying on teh floor, drawing with a box of crayons. He looked up.
"Frecky!" His face lit up as hee ran to me and threw his arms around my legs.
"Hello," I ruffled his hair as he lt go and I went over to the bed. "Hey, Ellie." I sofly greeted. She sat up a bit and nodded. Her eyes seemed unable to facus, so she layed back down. Draco not switched to holding the baby with both hands.
"Thank you so much, Sarah Beth."
"Oh it's no problem. I love kids! And I had been planning on having him over, anyway!"
"That's good. His things are over there." Draco guestured to a medium sized bag in teh cornre.
"Okay" I smiled and walked over to it. I picked it up. "Ar you ready, Scorpey?"
"Yes! But first I have to say goodbye!" He scurried over and crawed up into the bed, still clutching onto the drawing he had been working on. He held it out for his mother to see. " "Look, Mummy! I drew you a picture! That's me, and Duddy and Colin and Nana and Granddud and Orion and Virgo! And we're all happy, see!"
