It was two weeks since the incident. Fred, Ginny, Harry, and Ron were all sitting in St. Mungo’s. Taylor was asleep again. Actually, she had never woken up. She had been up for about an hour on Thursday, but after the healers giving her some water, she had fallen asleep again. Fred had barely eaten or even moved since they’d arrived. It was 11 o’clock in the morning, and everyone was tired.
“Fred?” Ron said, “Come on, mate, let’s go get some food,”
Fred shook his head, “Go ahead guys… I’ll stay here,”
Ginny squinted at him, “We know you’re worried Fred, but…. You have to think about yourself… you have barely eaten or slept since we arrived, and… frankly, I’m worried about you as well,”
“I’m fine Gin,” he said, “I’ll eat in a while,”
“Alright,” she said. She wrapped her arm around Harry, “Come on…”
They all walked out of the room. Fred watched them go, and turned back to Taylor.

“Come on Tay,” he whispered, “You have to wake up… then we’ll be out of here, and everything will be back to normal… I’m sorry this ever happened… It’s all my fault…”
Just then, the door opened, and Draco Malfoy was standing there, “Fred!” he said, “I just heard,” he walked over and stood by Taylor, “I am so sorry… my father… he- he,”
“It’s fine…” Fred said, “I know it has nothing to do with you…”
Draco nodded, “I know, I just wish I could have done something…”
Fred nodded, “So do I…”
Draco looked up, “Can I… try something?” he asked, “I think I can help…”
Fred looked at him, “What can you do?” he asked.
“Just…” Draco trailed off. He walked over to Taylor, and whispered something.
Fred watched with a lowered brow. Suddenly, Taylor’s leg twitched.
Fred stood up, “What did you do?” he asked, curious, and anxious.
Draco sighed, “Yeah…” he said, “My father put some sort of curse on her…” he said.
“What can we do?” Fred asked, “She hasn’t eaten or drank since Thursday!”
Draco shook his head, “She’ll be fine… from the look of it, she is being replenished through herself…” he paused, “She’s not harmed, she just is asleep,”
“Can we wake her?” Fred asked.
Draco blinked at him, “Yeah,” he said, “But it’ll take the same dark magic it took to cast it…illegal magic,”
Fred stared at him, “I’ll do it… I don’t care, just tell me how,”
Draco sighed, “Fred, it’ll kill you, it’s too powerful…”
“Do you think I care?!” Fred asked, “I just want her safe!”
Draco shook his head, “Let me do it…” he said, “It’s probably my fault anyhow… somehow… it’s not like I’m worth anything anyway…”
“Malfoy,” Fred said, “Draco, you saved Taylor’s life before… you don’t need to do this…”

Before Fred could get in another word, Malfoy had gone over to her, and drawn his wand. He muttered a few things, and suddenly, he fell to the floor.
Fred ran over, and looked at him, *Now what?* he thought, *I’ve got an unconscious wizard and a cursed wife…*

“Fred?” Fred looked up. Taylor was looking at him through squinted eyes, “Why…why am I in St. Mungo’s?”
Fred stood up to his full height, “Taylor!” he said, “You, you don’t remember?”
“Um, yeah…” she said, “I just woke up, and am wondering why I’m in St. Mungo’s…”
Fred stood up and embraced her. He hugged her and kissed the top of her head, “You’re alright! You’re okay!”
“Yeah…” Taylor blinked at him, not hugging back, “Are you going to tell me what’s going on? The last thing I remember is… Oh my god!” she said, “Where’s Lucius Malfoy!? And… why is Draco on the floor?”
“Oh… Draco!” Fred said. He kneeled down beside Draco and pulled him onto a chair. His eyes fluttered open, “Whoa,” he said, “That was odd…”
Fred smiled at him, “You’re fine!” he said. He turned to Taylor and picked her up off the bed, swinging her around.
“Lucius is probably in Azkaban by now!” he said.
Taylor smiled, “Really? We- we did it?”
“You did it!” Fred said, “It was all you… I just came in time to transport him!”
Taylro beamed.
Draco stood up, “well… I’ve got a major headache…” he said, “I’ll talk to you guys in a little bit…”
Fred smiled at him and watched him leave. He turned back to Taylor, and kissed her.

She pulled back, “So… everything’s over now?” she asked, “it’s done?”
“Mm-hmm,” Fred said, kissing her. She smiled and kissed him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sat down on the bed, pulling him next to her.

“You guys could wait until you got home,”
They turned to see Harry. Taylor stood up and threw her arms around him, “Harry!” she said, “Harry!”
“Taylor! Taylor!” he said, in high-pitched voice, mimicking her. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back, “Glad you’re okay,”
Taylor let go, “Thanks…”
Ron stepped into the door, “Is she ok-?”

Taylor grinned, “Ron!” she said.
“Hey Taylor!” he said.
She hugged him, and said softly, “You’d better be glad, they were after you next,”
He smiled, “Ah, well… thanks, I suppose,”
She smiled, and turned to Ginny, who was now in, carrying a bottle of water.
“Hey girl!” she said with an off-centered smile.
Ginny hugged her, “Hey,” she said.

Taylor looked around, “Oh my… where’s Celestine?”
“She’s… at Hogwarts,” Fred said.
“Hogwarts?” she asked, “Why is she there?”
“Yeah… the headmaster is watching her for a while… we have to pick her up in a bit…”
“Okay,” Taylor said.
