Conformations of Fears

[AUDREY MARGARET WEASLEY]

Panic. Fear. The only two thins on Audrey’s mind. She knew something was wrong. It had been weeks from the last time she heard for Percy. She was scared. She was trying to keep it together. Her family needed her. But she was falling apart. She had been expecting that fall. But it didn’t make it easier. She dropped everything she was doing. She left her home or St. Mungo’s.

The words come out as screams. She yelling at the healers. She wants to see her husband now. He means the world to her. She had tried to prevent this. But he was just so stubborn. She felt the hot tears running down her cheeks. This is how he must have felt when she passed out.

“TAKE ME TO MY HUSBAND NOW!” demanded Audrey. She had her wand pointed at the uncooperative head healer. She slowly lowered her wands and gave into crying fits or anger and frustration. The head healer took Audrey to the room. Audrey stood in the doorway for the longest of time. She sat down next to the bed.

Percy looked like hell. There was no other way to describe it. She took her husband’s hand. He had been in the magical hospital in Spain for several weeks before they figured out who he was and sent him to St. Mungo’s. She just knew her brother was in on this attack. The brutality fit Andrew. The personal aggression seemed fitting. She couldn’t help feeling like this was her fault.

She sat there besides her husband waiting for him to wake for days on end. Her children had been notified. She had let her brand new manger run the shop. She sat there besides her husband drawing in a sketchbook, read baby books, and looked at catalogues for nursery furniture and other baby things. She hadn’t even had time to tell her husband she was pregnant. She prayed she got the chance to.

Since she nearly lived in St. Mungo’s she had no excuse not to go to the doctor appoints. The told her she was under stress. No freak kidding. She was trying to relax the best she could for the baby but how could she. She needed her husband to wake up. She needed her Percy. She had even resorted to trying to pick up knitting which was a big mess.

“Percy, please wake up. I can’t do this without you. I need you. The kids need you. The new baby needs a father,” pleaded Audrey in a soft prayer.

Blinding lights.

Thick darkness.

Garbled sounds.

Percys eyes snapped open as he looked around the room. No one was there. He had been in the hospital for who knows how long and wasn't even sure where he was. It wasn't Saint Mungos. He spoke in fluent Spanish to the workers as soon as he was able to open his mouth and they made it clear that he would be transferred back to England as soon as possible. He groaned. Audrey had told him not to go to Spain, but he didn't listen. He thought that going to a different city would save him, but the dark plans still caught up to him. He couldn't remember faces, just vague images of his attackers. He was caught off guard, he wasn't even sure if they people surrounding him were alive.

Soon he was transported to Saint Mungos and his family was notified, but he had been unconscious for the last several days. He was vaguely aware of Audreys hand in his, but he couldn't bring himself to come to consciousness. Finally, he heard her voice clearer than before and his eyes fluttered open. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and dry, "Aud?" he said slowly while trying to open his eyes fully. It was difficult, and he figured he must be on some heavy pain potions. He didn't even know where he was hurt exactly, but his whole body seemed numb at the present moment.

Audrey’s heart stopped as she heard his voice. It was horse but it was still Percy’s. She had been terrified she wasn’t going hear it again. She nearly leapt out of her chair dropping her cup of tea on the floor. The cup shattered. She stepped over the glass. She pulled her chair right to the bedside. She didn’t care about the glass. She was completely focused on Percy.

“Percy, I’m right here,” said Audrey taking Percy’s hand. Her own hands trembled. She couldn’t believe he was waking up. She couldn’t put words to how happy she was. She thanking every higher power she had ever heard of. She knew Percy was still in bad condition but at least waking up was a good sign. She was glad that the Ministry was helping out with all these medical bills they had racked up. The hospital in Spain was being ridiculous with their charges. She didn’t worry about the bill from Spain, the Ministry had offered to deal with them. Audrey let them doing it without thinking twice.

“Take it easy. You’re on some heavy duty potions,” said Audrey as slowly and calmly as she could. She didn’t want Percy to pass out again. She knew healers would be here soon enough. The shattering glass would have alerted any healers nearby. She didn’t want to yell. She wanted to stay calm. She didn’t want to startle Percy.
