WHEN FIRE DANCES WITH SILK || DRACO MALFOY x OC

Chapter Sixty- Two- Aftershocks.

Third-person POV

Remus Lupin paced around the hospital wing. He had carried a severely injured Bill Weasley back to the hospital wing. Molly was with Fleur crying over the boy. Neville lying, apparently asleep, in a bed near the door. Ron, Hermione, Luna and Tonks were gathered around another bed near the far end of the ward.

But that wasn't Remus's worry, he was pacing because Sirius was still out there. They had left Aurora in the care of Madame Pomfrey. She was now peacefully asleep on one of the hospital wing cots. He sighed and kept looking at the door, expecting his husband to burst in with his cheeky smile.

"Remus?"

He snapped his head up to see Aurthur was calling him.

"Yes?" he replied.

"You should sit down, I'm sure Sirius will be here soon," Arthur said. Remus nodded. He turned to sit and just as he did, the doors to the hospital wing broke open and a limping Sirius Black with blood coming down his leg.

"Siri!" exclaimed Remus as he jumped up and helped Sirius to a bed. Madame Pomfrey came to heal the injured man.

"Remus, Sienna, she left," Sirius whispered to his husband. Remus nodded.

"She'll be fine, she's a strong girl. " Remus assured Sirius. Sirius nodded.

"Where's Harry?" Asked Sirius.

"I don't know."

Just as those words left Remus's mouth, the door opened again.

Hermione ran to Harry and hugged him; Remus moved forward too, looking anxious.

"Are you all right, Harry?"

"I'm fine...How's Bill?"

Nobody answered. Harry looked over Hermione's shoulder and saw an unrecognizable face lying on Bill's pillow, so badly slashed and ripped that he looked grotesque. Molly was dabbing a harsh-smelling ointment.

"Can't you fix them with a charm or something?" he asked the matron.

"No charm will work on these," said Madam Pomfrey. "I've tried everything I know, but there is no cure for werewolf bites."

"But he wasn't bitten at the full moon," said Ron, who was gazing down into his brother's face as though he could somehow force him to mend just by staring. "Greyback hadn't transformed, so surely Bill won't be a — a real —?"

He looked uncertain at Remus. Sirius grabbed ahold of Remus's hand.

"No, I don't think that Bill will be a true werewolf," said Remus, "but that does not mean that there won't be some contamination. Those are cursed wounds. They are unlikely ever to heal fully, and — and Bill might have some wolfish characteristics from now on."

Arthur looked up at Remus, horrified.

"There will probably be some contamination, Arthur,".said Remus. "It is an odd case, possibly unique...We don't know what his behaviour might be like when he awakens..."

Fleur, was gazing down at Bill with a frozen expression on her face.

Molly started becoming overwhelmed and she began to sob, tears falling onto Bill's mutilated face.

"Of course, it doesn't matter how he looks...It's not r-really important...but he was a very handsome little b-boy...always very handsome...and he was g-going to be married!"

"And what do you mean by zat?" said Fleur suddenly and loudly.

"What do you mean, 'he was going to be married?'"
