Hospitals and Excuses

'Lucius.' Hermione said as she looked up.

'The nurse thought her father should know and rightly so.' He said as he made his way towards Isla on the other side of the bed from Hermione. 'What happened?'

'She woke up screaming. She's got a high fever, I called Molly and she told me to come here. They're doing tests but they're taking ages. We don't know what's wrong with her.' Hermione replied as she looked at Isla.

'Where's the Healer?' He asked as he looked out towards the nurses' station.

'He went to get her blood results.' Harry said as Ginny moved towards him. He wrapped an arm around his wife knowing she was still scared of Lucius. 'We're going to wait outside.'

'That's fine.' Hermione said as he watched Harry pulled Ginny out the room before she broke down crying. 'Ginny's scared of you.'

'I know.' He said as he looked at Isla. 'Why didn't you floo call me?'

'Where the hell have you been? You haven't been to see Isla all week. Do you know she cried every night for her father? I have been up at least five times a night because she can't settle. No wonder she's ill.' Hermione whispered through gritted teeth to Lucius trying not to wake her ill daughter

'You should have called me. I would have come, anytime you or Isla, I am only a floo away.' He said harshly.

'Well you weren't this week. Where the hell were you? You said you wanted to court me or whatever and then disappeared of the face of the earth.' She said wanting to scream at him.

'Ms Granger? Mr Malfoy?' The male Healer said as he entered the room knowing he was interrupting the two.

'Healer Smyth.' Hermione sat as she stood up. 'Have the results come back?'

'Yes they have and I have some bad news.' He said walking towards them.

'What's wrong?' Lucius said as he too stood up.

'Isla has got Dragon Pox it seems.' Healer Smyth said. 'It doesn't look like she has a server case but I would like her to stay in for a few days so we can administrate the anti-biotic and just keep an eye on her.'

'Of course.' Hermione said. 'How on earth did she get Dragon Pox? She hasn't been in contact with anyone. I thought Dragon Pox's were no longer harm.'

'They're not normally however if someone in your family has had them then it is more likely that you will get them. She may have picked them up from a person but it's more than likely it was airborne.' The Healer replied.

'No one in her family has had them.' Hermione replied.

'They did.' Lucius replied as he sat down. 'My father had Dragon Pox; he died from them when I was just out of Hogwarts.'

'You never said.' Hermione said as she turned to him.

'It was never talked about.' He replied. 'Healer Smyth I would like my daughter moved to a private ward and room. I would also like a second opinion from my private Healer.'

'Of course Mr. Malfoy. I will set that up immediately and get Miss Malfoy moved as soon as possible.' He said.

'It's Miss Granger. Isla Granger.' Hermione said as she sat down.

'Granger – Malfoy.' He said as he sat down.

'Of course.' The Healer said as he walked off leaving Hermione and Lucius's glaring at each other.

'What did the Healer say?' Harry said as he walked in alone.

'Dragon Pox.' Hermione said softly as she looked at Isla. 'Not a serious case though thank god.'

'Are they letting her home?' Harry asked.

'Not yet. They just want to observe her while they give her some anti-biotic.' Hermione said.

'She's being moved to a private ward and room.' Lucius said as he stood up.

'Are you off then?' Hermione said as he stood up.

'I need to go tell Draco I will be staying here for the night. Would you like me to pick up anything for you or Isla?' he asked.

'Actually, Isla will need a few bits, could you pick something's up?' she asked.

'Of course.' He said. 'Write down what you want and I'll get them for you.'

'Thank you.' She said as she reached into her bag and grabbed her notepad and a pen.

Hermione sent Lucius on his way with to pick up bits for herself and Isla. While Lucius was away Isla was moved to a private ward and room. The nurses set up a spare bed for Hermione and set up Isla's medication.

Harry and Ginny went home and got some sleep or not sleep. Lucius finally returned with a bag full of clothes for Hermione, Isla and himself.

'Has my Healer been around?' He asked as he kissed Isla's head.

'Not yet. It's too late for him to come now; he'll be here in the morning I expect.' Hermione said.

'I pay him thousands, he should be here now.' He said as he sat down on the chair.

'Lucius, she's fine. Healer Smyth said so himself.' Hermione said. 'Tomorrow you can have your Healer check her over and he too will tell us that he is going to be fine. I understand you are worried because of your father but she'll be fine.'

Lucius only nodded and sat down on the arm chair next to the bed and looked at Isla. As he watched his daughter lie pale and lifeless on the bed he remembered his father lying on his bed at the Manor dying in pain of the same illness.

'Hermione.' He said as he looked at her unpacking the bag he brought.

'Yes?' she said not turning to look at him.

'I'm sorry I haven't been around this week.' He said. 'I...'

'I don't want your excuses Lucius. I told you when you said you wanted a part in Isla's life that if you ever messed her around that was it. I have had to console my daughter every night this week.' She said as she turned around.

'Antonin Dolohov has escaped.' He said as he looked at Hermione seriously.

'What?' she said with fear in her eyes.

'He escaped and apparently he wants revenge on a certain person who is close to my heart.' He said. 'I've been working with Severus and Kingsley every night this week to see if we could find him.'

'Aurors?' she said as she sat down on the bed.

'Searching but they can't find him. He's in England they believe but they don't know where as of yet.' He said. 'Have you not noticed Aurors outside your flat?'

'What? They've been watching me?' she said shocked.

'Of course they have. I won't let anyone hurt you or Isla. If I had my way I'd kill Dolohov now without a second thought.' He said as he stood up and walked towards Hermione. 'Hermione, I didn't mean to make you feel like you and Isla aren't wanted because you are. I wanted to come to you every night but if he is watching you I don't want him to see me there. He knows nothing about Isla and I want to keep it that way.'

'You don't think he'd hurt her do you?' She said as she looked up at Lucius.

'Never!' he said as he sat down beside her.

'I'm scared Lucius.' She said as she looked at him.

'Don't be.' He said as he pulled Hermione towards him. 'I won't let anything happen to you or Isla.'

'Lucius, he could hurt you.' She said as she held onto his upper arm. 'If he knows about us then he'll hurt you to get to me.'

'That is why we aren't going to let him know about us.' He said as he kissed her head.

'Harry.' She said as she sat up and looked at him.

'Yes Potter knows.' He said.

'He knows and he didn't tell me!' she said angrily.

'We didn't want to tell you because we didn't want to worry you.' He said as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her onto his lap. 'Hermione, I want you and Isla to move into the Manor and before you start I know you hate the Manor, you have bad memories there but I want you and Isla safe and it is the safest place.'

'I could go to Grimmauld.' She said.

'He knows where that is and so does every other bugger Hermione.' He replied.

'He knows where your Manor is.' She replied to him.

'Yes but with the charms I have on the Manor there is no way he could possible get in and harm you or Isla. Please Hermione, I am begging you. Move into the Manor. It will only be until we find him. We could find him in a week.'

'I have to work Lucius.' She said as she cuddled into him.

'You're going to have to take leave for a while or quit and work for me.' He said.

'Lucius.' She said as she looked at Isla.

'Hermione, your welfare and our daughter's is my priority.' He said as he cupped her cheek. 'Please, if not for me then for her.' He said.

'Okay. We'll move to the Manor.' She said as she looked at him.

'Thank you.' He said as he kissed her.
