It had been a little less than a week since his mother was attacked. The best and most attentive Healers were at her side day and night, new Potions hooked up to her veins every two hours, keeping her stable but the wounds weren't yet close to fixing themselves. It was frustrating and terrifying, Jonah never this close to tragedy before. All of his relatives were alive and hell, they'd never even lost a bloody pet.
But now, his mother was wrapped in bandages and completely comatose, her breathing the only steady thing keeping any of them optimistic.
His father and his grandparents were all quietly discussing what to do next, if she should stay in St. Mungo's or be sent to a Muggle hospital, if there was anything that could be done quietly-
Jonah spent every day at the hospital, he and Marlow trading shifts from day to night, one of them always there with her. It was like they had all put their lives on hold. With their father's attack, it had been a day of worry and recovery. But this- this was different.
He didn't want to lose his mother.
When he heard the footsteps he barely looked up, too used to the Healers schedules to know there was a shift change. It was when the seat shifted beside him that he glanced up and saw Ella.
