Making sure all is well -- Winter 1997

When Penny and I heard about Katie, we went to St. Mungo's a couple of days after the attack so that Katie and Oliver would have some time together without visitors.  We knocked on the hospital door and Oliver let us in.  He looked exhausted, but Katie looked alright.  "Hey," I said as I sat down in a chair after making sure Penny got a more comfortable one -- she was six months pregnant or so already.

I could not help but roll my eyes at Percy making sure I was doing fine with my seat.  I loved how protective he was of me and the baby I was carrying, but it was a little overbearing sometimes.  I looked at Ollie and Katie.  "EVerything is okay?" I said, wanting to make sure.

I had gotten up to let Penny and Percy into the room with us and gave hugs before sitting back down next to Katie.  I smiled at the two of them.  "Yes," I said to the two of them.  "The Healers say things are okay, but Katie's not strong enough to be out of the hospital and they want to keep close monitoring on the baby as well.  Things could change quickly."

I let Ollie do the talking because he understood most of what they were saying -- the Healers that was.  I was groggy and out of it half the time they came in to do updates and check in on me.  I was still having a lot of the side effects of whatever curse it was that was on the necklace.  I gave Penny and Percy a reassuring smile.  "I'm sure I'll be out of here in no time," I said, knowing that I told Oliver the same thing many times.
