Chapter 19: Empty
The
snake uncoiled itself around me and slithered back inside Lucius'
wand and I...well I was in A LOT of pain. Falling down to my knees, I
clutched my stomach till there's no tomorrow and hoped, just hoped
that nothing bad happened to my baby. I don't really know if I could
handle another tragedy.
Tears
were following freely down my cheeks and I heard Lucius cackle in the
background but then as soon as it started it ended. My vision was
getting blurry and I was sinking down to my feet. I heard voices. One
was familiar and I knew it as 'sexy and cool'. The other cold and
heartless. I couldn't distinguish what words were being uttered.
Closing my eyes shut I was able to see through my eyelids flashes of
light as if from a wands though I knew not what sort of spell for
darkness was overcoming my mind.
The
pain in my womb was continuing but soon I couldn't feel anything for
unconsciousness conquered me.

I woke up hearing familiar voices. One
belonged to Madam Pomfrey and the other sexy and cool. I loved it.
Ahhh...Draco.
He's here.
So
does that mean it was all a dream? That I'm okay and this whole
fiasco didn't happen? I hope it didn't. Oh please please let it not
happen I don't think I could handle this. Humiliation in front of all
my peers and teachers were perhaps enough but this...
Oh
please God, Merlin, and all that's Holy. Please just let this be a
dream. A nightmare and nothing more.
I
fluttered my eyes open to see Draco sitting next to me, his pale
pointed face hovering over me. His white-blond hair was coming into
his eyes shading them from view but I could still tell he looked
concerned yet relieved.
"Draco?"
I whispered, my voice hoarse. I tried sitting up but it seemed I
couldn't.
"Shh,
Hermione," he told me, putting his hands on my shoulders and
pushing me back down on the bed. "You okay?" he asked me.
"Are you feeling any better? Do you remember what happened to
you?"
I
furrowed my eyebrows and tried to think, but it seemed my mind was
blank. I shut my eyes and relaxed my muscles and then glimpses of
what happened swept through my head. I remembered Lucius and the
spell and those cackles and those familiar voices but nothing else.
But wasn't that all a dream? Shouldn't it be a dream?
"You
were at the Manor," Draco told me, his voice lacking emotion.
"My father was angry. He used a spell on you. When I came I saw
him with the snake reentering his wand."
I
opened my eyes slightly to look at him and was meet by a complete
cold _expression. I shivered inwardly and closed my eyes again. I
remembered all that, but what were the voices? Was that Draco?
"That
spell was powerful Hermione. You've been here in the Infirmary for
the most part of the day and night. It's now almost evening."
A jolt
of pain rattled through my body starting from my lower stomach and
through every nerve ending to the tips of my hands and feet.
"I've
been asleep for that long?"
"Not
really. You needed the sleep. Normally people do sleep at night,"
he said trying to add a bit of humor to his voice but it just seemed
empty of emotions and...eerie.
"I
thought you wouldn't wake until..." Madam Pomfrey interjected. I
opened my eyes to see her forcing a smile at me. She had a vial of
bluish liquid and forced me to drink it. I did with the help of
Draco. "Normally a witch hit with that form of dark spell
wrongly either becomes paralyzed for their whole life or goes into a
coma. A wizard isn't affected by the spell but if a witch is...the
results are disastrous. You however managed to wake with no problem
physically with only one price to pay."
"What's
that?" I asked, my voice a bit shaky.
Draco
gave Madam Pomfrey a look which made the medi-witch sigh and say,
"I'll let you tell her, Mr. Malfoy," and left.
Draco took my
hand and our fingers intertwined. He looked straight at me, and this
time there was feeling in his eyes. They were sad.
"The
curse Lucius used on you was an Ancient curse passed down from
generation to generation of pureblooded families," he began and
I couldn't help but notice that he called his father by his first
name.
"...Back
when the spell was formed, it was to make sure that a pregnant witch
gave birth to a son. Normally that son would be a Great Wizard. It
was usually a good spell that would give enormous powers to the baby
that would be born. But the spell was so great that it could also
make the witch die in the process. Lucius wished to make our baby be
the Heir to the Dark Lord..."
I
frowned as I heard him say Dark Lord. For the past year he never
would give Voldemort that title and would either say Voldemort
straight out or use his muggle name 'Tom Riddle.' It was a shock to
hear him say it. What was even more of a shock was that my dream was
real and that my baby was going to be used for evil. His last words
hit me deeply as I now registered it. Heir to the Dark Lord.
Dear Merlin no! I won't let it!
"...But
the spell went wrong. It was Voldemort who was supposed to recite the
spell not Lucius..."
I
frowned. This wasn't sounding right. Did that mean the spell went
wrong and my baby wouldn't be Voldemort's heir? I sure hope so.
"...Lucius
didn't have the power to cast that spell. Instead it sort of
malfunctioned," Draco explained. "The spell had given you
long lasting effects. You have the power to do wandless magic...with
the proper training...but there is a high price to this new
ability..."
I
held my breath to hear his next words. His eyes were saddened and
angry. I had a bad feeling about what he would say next.
"...Our
baby...didn't survive..."
I
blew out that breath I was holding and allowed my brain time to
register the fact. I couldn't seem to accept it. It can't be
possible. It's not true. It was a mistake. He didn't know.
"...And
there's a high risk that you can't be a mother again."
I drank in
his last words and my heart sunk to the pit of my stomach. A tear
rolled down my cheek and I could tell Draco was as pained as I was.
I felt so
helpless...and...
...Empty.
