Chapter 7
Harry and Draco met outside the front like they had agreed. This time as they walked, they felt an awkwardness in the air. Neither really knew what to say to the other. It was the beginning of a friendship that most people are afraid of because of the fear of saying something or doing something that would make others not like them.
Draco looked over at Harry, “So, where are we eating today? Is it going to be that same place as yesterday?”
“If you want to go somewhere different that’s fine with me. I hadn’t really made a decision about that. I figured we walk around until we found something that we liked.”
“Well, I did like the place from yesterday.”
“Oh, I love the food...I just can’t handle the waitress sometimes...she can be a bit over the top.”
“Why? I thought she seemed nice.”
“I used to date her brother. She was extremely pissed when I ended it, so now she goes about embarrassing me whenever she sees me in public. At first, she was brutal about it, but now I’ve gotten used to it so she’s slacked off a little.” Harry smiled, that was a nice relationship...except for the infidelity on his lover’s part. But that was the past and he was over that.
“Okay...well, I don’t know where to go, so you can pick.” Draco had noticed that almost everything he had remembered from his last time here, years ago, wasn’t there anymore.
They walked for a good fifteen minutes, not saying a word more until they stopped. Draco looked up and saw that the place they were eating was a Japanese Take-out place. They went inside and ordered their food. While they waited, Draco took out a pill bottle from his pocket. Harry noticed, and being a doctor, asked what they were.
“What are you taking?”
“Oh, it’s just some stuff for a headache. I’ve had one for a few hours and it’s making me nauseous. I usually just let them go away on their own, but I can feel that this one would kick my arse if I don’t do anything about it. It’s just that I’m pretty stressed right now with my mother and work.”
“Speaking of your mother, I was going to tell you about the procedure. When that spell was cast on her, it was made to enter the blood stream. At first, she showed no symptoms of any kind. Then, three months later, she started complaining of fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling of the abdomen and things like that. Lucius brought her in for some testing. We tried every test under the sun that we could think of at the time. Then I started trying tests that were related to inheritance and genetics. It turned out, that the spell cast on your mother, gave her Thalassemia. It’s an inherited type of anemia that affects the production of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells.”
“I know what anemia is, but I’ve never heard of this type before.” Draco knew about anemia because he had suffered from it since he was a child. He had the iron- deficiency type that is easily taken care of with supplements.
“Most babies conceived with this are naturally aborted. The red blood cells that carry the defective hemoglobin carry less oxygen than normal and are destroyed prematurely, reducing oxygen transport to the body tissue. To compensate for this, her body began producing red blood cells in her liver and spleen, where blood cells are not normally formed. Your mother will be lucky though. Most people that have had this diagnosis will have to have regular blood transfusions for the rest of their lives. Your mother will need only one transfusion since this disease isn’t genetic and caused only by magic. We’ll use your blood to do this with. Your father said that you and her had the same blood type and RH factor.”
“Okay...so she’ll be all right when she has this done?” Draco couldn’t believe this. His mother might be able to make it through this!
“She should. She is a very strong woman with just an equally strong magic aura. If she wasn’t strong as strong as she is, the curse would have killed her within two weeks of being cast.” Harry was amazed that Draco’s mother had lasted this long. At the beginning, his thought of her was the same as when it had been years ago when he had seen her at the World Cup. He hadn’t actually considered the fact that she, too, was just as human as everyone else. She had seemed so cold, so distant back then. But back then was a cold time, full of uncertainties. Harry’s life between the Malfoy’s had never been a relationship one would call friendly. But everything changed the moment Lucius was sent to Azkaban. It was as if he had finally woken up. He didn’t want his son to be subject to this kind of life. He was able to speak to Dumbledore and all was forgiven. Both Narcissa and Lucius were extremely valuable assets during the war, but still, weren’t too friendly towards Harry. It wasn’t until Mrs. Malfoy became ill that they had gotten a bit closer.
Harry, lost in his thought, was brought back to the land of the living by Draco tapping him on his arm and calling his name, “Harry?...Earth to Harry?”
“Sorry...so...um...where were we?” Harry asked sheepishly.
“You had just finished telling me about mum’s condition.
“Oh! Yes, well...what we’re going to do is a transfusion, but only a partial transfusion. Since her condition affects the red blood cells, that is the only component we will replace. It’s safer and far less wasteful to do it by replacing components and not the whole blood. Muggles are only allowed to give blood once every two months, but since our wizarding blood has strong magical properties, you will be able to give about twice a week. Once we’ve got the amount of blood from you we need, we’ll hook your mother up to a machine and start the process. I estimated we would do this for 2 hours every other day until she’s finished. After that, we should be able to take her off all meds and a spell she’s on to stay asleep to escape the pain. I believe she will be as good as new.”
“Thanks...again...I just can’t tell you how much this means to me and my father...you’ve saved my mother’s life.” Draco had a smile from ear to ear on his pale face.
“Well, you know...I’ve made it a habit of saving lives. I’ve been in business since I was one!...Now, about your blood tests...I just saw that there was an abnormality, not the specifics.”
Draco cut in, “I’ve always been anemic myself...I take an iron supplement. It’s never really been a problem. I just tend to stay a little pale and slightly fatigued...Oh yeah, and I bruise like a banana.”
The rest of the lunch went by smoothly. Harry had asked Draco more about his job and Draco was all too happy to oblige. Draco told him stories of memories he had from his time with the children. While finishing up, Harry suggested that they start the first process of the transfusion in two day’s time. Draco agreed. It would give him time to go back home to see Bradley and update him on the situation. He had missed Bradley these couple of days all ready.
Authors Note: I'm sorry this chapter has taken me so long. I've started back to college(9credit hrs.) and my work schedule has finally picked up (41hrs./week).
Sorry this was kinda boring and slow, but I guess it needed to be thrown in. Thanks for reading and for the reviews! Any thoughts of your own you might like to see in this story? Oh! Don’t worry, Draco will do what he feels is right and all will be explained in upcoming chapters.
