Different Paths in Life: Silvia Stone One Shots

Poisoned- Part Two

In the vile that held Silvia's blood a thick green liquid separated from the now lighter red blood.

" Is that...?" Draco's voice trailed off in fright.

" Poison, and a dangerous amount of it as well. We have to do more tests on the specific type to see if there's a certain cure but for now all I ask of you is to stay here and try not to worry her!" Healer White gave the vile to his assistant, healer Ester and the older group of healers ran out of the room in a desperate operation to save the Destined One.

Draco nervously ran his hand through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't believe Silvia was snuck poison, surely he would've caught someone hurting her at the party, wouldn't he? He wanted to help his boss's kind efforts in tracking down a cure for her but his place was to stay with Silvia, and make sure her conditions weren't worsening.

" Dra...?" Draco opened his eyes when he heard the weak feeble voice of his girlfriend.

" Sil! Shh your okay, I'm here, we're in St Mungo's," he laced their fingers and placed a hand on her neck, caressing her lower jaw softly with his thumb.

" What happened to me?" She said in a voice softer than a whisper. 

" You were poisoned- but don't worry, healer White is finding a cure as we speak," Draco added quickly when her heart rate increased and her eyebrows shot up to the top of her forehead. Silvia half relaxed and nodded. " Do you have any symptoms or pain?" He asked his first official healer question.

" My entire body is in pain, my throat is dry, and my eyes feel numb," Silvia replied. She forced herself to open her eyes and Draco smiled at her.

" Don't force it if it hurts love," he leaned in and kissed the bridge of her nose.

" That tickles..." She commented as Draco continued to kiss the spot. " Dra please stop... Stop!" Silvia cried out and pushed him back. She shut her eyes with a wince and cried.

" Sil I-I'm sorry, is there anything-?"

" Just do-don't to-touch me or t-talk to me," Silvia didn't need the rest of the question as she continued to cry. Once she finished the room fell into an eerie silence.

" Malfoy," Silvia heard the familiar voice of healer White a few minutes later. " She's all red, did she wake up or something?" He asked Draco.

" Yeah..." Draco went on and explained what happened.

" The poison is taking its first effect..." White's voice drifted off. Silvia could tell he was nervous.

Why? Isn't there a cure? She signed. She had been signing since her Hogwarts days, learning that her father was profoundly deaf his entire life and Silvia decided to learn his special gift to honor him.

" Ah Miss Stone your awake. Mr Malfoy, would you mind translating for us?" The healer asked and Draco nodded.

" She, and I too are wondering if you found a cure for whatever poison is effecting her?"

" Okay well... The poison Miss Stone was slipped is actually a poison we know very little about and therefore... Not an exact remedy to cure her, only the enchantments she's under now are keeping her alive... But there was also a hint of alcohol in the toxins, were you drinking at the party?" Healer White explained and asked.

" Your telling me she's going to die?" Draco asked back in a slow and dangerous tone, ever so carefully rising from the bed.

" No-no Mr Malfoy, we just have to do more research on her blood verses samples of other poisoned blood, see if there's a loophole for a cure. And do not use that tone of voice on me, I can fire you and then you won't be able to be in this room," White criticized.
