Chapter 10
He carried her up to his cottage employing the same charm he had before. He layed her down on his couch and disappeared into another room. When he came back he kneeled down beside her to be face to face with her.
“Now listen to me, this is very important. I will take you to a special hospital now. You will see many strange things there. Some may seem impossible or even frightening, but you must not panic, do you understand? It is absolutely necessary that you behave as if all of it was perfectly natural for you so nobody notices or little charade. Understood?”
She nodded her head weakly.
“I will not look the same when we get there, I will look different and speak a little different, but you must not be alarmed. As soon as we are back here again, I will look absolutely normal again.”
With that he rose and turned away from her. Sophie closed her eyes and gave in to her tiredness. She felt how he lifted her up again and noticed that they left the house. Then he walked a few steps and all of a sudden she felt the world spin around her like crazy. It felt like the worst roller coaster she had ever been on. But it only took a fraction of a second. Then it stopped. The horrible pulling sensation in her stomach disappeared again but the sickness lingered longer. She very much felt like throwing up and had she not felt so badly she probably would have. She heard lots of noise and traffic, like in a big town. She opened her eyes a little and could see a back lane as if in a big town. The were walking along towards a shop window. She closed her eyes again. At some point she heard Sam speak. He indeed spoke differently. Somehow with a higher voice and a not so precise pronunciation. And then they were in a very light room with lots of people and even more noise. They were still walking. And then he stopped and a female voice asked:
“Emergency?”
“Yes, my wife is very sick. It’s a muggle thing but I think we waited a little too long. We really urgently need to see a healer.”
The bored female voice only answered:
“Name?”
“Sam Ashworth”
“A muggle thing? Can you specify it?”
“Cancer.”
“Cancer and all other forms of natural and unnatural mutations can be cured by using the magical guide to quick self-healing, book 3. Please make way for the next case, Mr. Ashworth.”
He felt like he had just been slapped in the face. Who did this little self-important squib think she was?
“Did you not hear what I just said, you incompetent excuse of a direction sign? I said she was too far along for me to help her!”
He was shouting at the top of his voice now, all caution forgotten.
But that cow just continued in the same bored voice:
“Sir, I must ask you to refrain from using improper language. Please make way for the next case or I will have to alert security.”
“You little…”
“Rosina, what’s going on here?”
Oh Merlin, it was Granger.
“Nothing Healer Granger, just somebody without a proper healing book.”
“What? I am telling you again now: I need help or my wife will die. She is too far along! Merlin, you ignorant squib…”
“Sir, please calm down. What do you mean she is too far along?”
“My wife is suffering from cancer. We waited too long to treat it after the muggle therapies had not worked. She needs help now or she will die.”
Granger took her wand out of her sleeve and ran a diagnostic spell over Sophie.
“Dear me, come along, Sir, this way.”
In this one moment he was grateful for Granger’s brain. Even if it had been a nuisance to teach her, the little know-it-all, she had always been quick on the uptake and she had always had the stupid Griffindor instinct to help without asking too many questions.
She walked ahead of them, almost running and took them to the second floor where she found them an empty treatment room.
“You can lay her down here. Then you need to wait outside.” She pointed at the table in the middle of the room and stepped out on the corridor again.
“I need a healer assistant in two, please.”
He placed her gently on the treatment table and stroke her cheek to get her attention.
“Sophie? Sophie, I have to wait outside. But they will help you, OK? Don’t worry, I will just be outside and remember what I told you before we came here, yes?”
She silently nodded. He turned to Granger.
“What treatment will you chose?”
“I need to run more checks on her. The cancer has spread considerably. Why have you waited so long?”
Quick, think, quick…
“I… I was travelling and when I came back she was in this state.”
A doubtful look was all the answer he got.
“She didn’t tell me her situation was so serious. She is a muggle… she didn’t think she could be saved.”
“But she does know about us?”
“Yes, yes of course. But she isn’t aware of the full scope of our abilities yet.”
The assistant healer arrived.
“Well, we have not time to lose. Please wait outside, Mr?”
“Ashworth.”
“Ashworth? As in Sam Ashworth?”
Of course, of all the people that could have recognised that name, she had to be one.
“Yes…”
“Sam Ashworth, potions master?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, Sir, it is such an honor to meet you! We use quite a few of your potions here. Whenever we need something especially difficult brewed or something of the highest quality it’s you we turn to.”
“Yes, well, now I would be grateful if you could turn to my wife.”
“Oh, yes, yes of course. Forgive me. I will be with you as soon as I know what the situation is.”
“Thank you.”
He practically ran out of the room. Out in the corridor he looked for a quiet corner and sat down. His polyjuice potion was working well. He only had to make sure to modify his voice around her. If anyone could recognise him, it would be her. And that was something he needed to avoid. He had known the moment he had decided for this course that there was a possibility that someone might recognise him, but he had resolved it was worth the risk. To safe her… he would have come here with his real face if he had to. He knew it. But so far it had gone well with his disguise. He brought a bottle of the polyjuice with him, just in case this whole thing took longer than expected. It should suffice. Now he would have to wait for the results of the examination. It was incredible how slowly time suddenly seemed to pass.
