The mirror II
Sugar coatedShuhua blinked her eyes and looked up at the ceiling finding extremely familiar
-Wh...what...where am I?
Her memories were fuzzy but the last thing she remembered was being at Hogwarts but she was in her house now? Her body felt strange, suddenly the door opened and a woman in white walked in, a nurse, she screamed as soon as she saw Shuhua awake
-Wh...who...are you?
-Don't strain yourself Miss Yeh, I'll call your parents and your healer, you are finally awake
Shuhua looked at her in surprise "My parents? What am I doing at home?"
Shuhua tried to move but her body felt extremely heavy "Was it a spell?" She then closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
The noise of voices woke her up a while later, Shuhua opened her eyes and could see that same nurse arguing with a healer while a much older version of her parents listened nervously
-Ma...mam...
The four occupants of the room looked at her and Shuhua was surprised when her parents hugged her as they cried desperately, words like "You came back" "I missed you" made her more confused, the healer approached her
-Miss Yeh, I'm Healer Kang, what's the last thing you remember?
-Hog...hogwarts...battle
The doctor looked at her parents in surprise.
-Your last memory is from the battle?
Shuhua nodded.
-Her memory is better than we expected, we didn't know what kind of memories she would have after 7 years
Shuhua furrowed her eyebrows
-Seven?
The healer approached Shuhua
-Miss Yeh you've been in a coma for seven years
-Wh… what?
-I know it's a lot to take in at once but you drowned in the lake on the night of the battle
As she remembered the battle Shuhua looked desperately at her mother trying to form words but getting nervous
-Calm down Shuhua, the girls are fine, everyone is alive
Shuhua seemed to calm down
-Mr and Mrs Yeh, I would like to take Miss Yeh to St Mungo's Hospital, as you have noticed she has some sequelae in speech and movement, I would like to do some tests to assess the extent of the damage and whether it can be reversed through treatments with physiotherapy and speech therapy
-Sure, can we go too?
- I don't see why not
Mrs Yeh looked at the nurse
-Nurse Yoo, could you please get in touch with Soyeon and Soojin in the Aurors department? Let them know that Shuhua is awake and we're going to the hospital, I'm sure they will tell the others
Shuhua looked confused at her mother
-It's where they work now... a lot has happened in these seven years
Shuhua shook her head "seven years? Aurors?"
---/--
Shuhua did several tests at St Mungo, her speech and movements were compromised but with physiotherapy and speech therapy she would resume most of her functions, the healer Kang thought it best for her to stay in hospital while she was rehabilitating and Shuhua's parents agreed , she was now in the hospital room feeling tired after so many exams and tests, she was almost falling asleep when the door opened and her partner, her lover, her Soojin was standing there looking at her, she looked older and tired, sobbing as she looked at Shuhua
-Jin...ah...
Soojin gave a tired, breathy, laugh and smiled weakly at her as she reached out to touch Shuhua’s cheek in effort to make sure she was real
-You are awake…. I… I missed you so much
Shuhua gave her a lazy grin
- Short… hair….I liked it
Soojin just smiled as she lunged forward pulling Shuhua into a careful hug burrying her face in the crook of her neck
- I…. I thought you wouldn't wake up anymore
-Sorry....
-Don't worry about it, the important thing is that you're back
The door opened again and Yuqi dashed into the room, the other three looking from the doorway, their eyes extremely wide as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
-SHUHUA
Yuqi approached from the other side of the bed and hugged Shuhua very tightly
-Careful Yuqi
When Yuqi released Shuhua from the hug Shuhua could see that her friends were around her bed, all of them were older, some even had scars on their faces, it was at that moment that Shuhua realized that she must have aged too, she just didn't idea of what her own face looked like now
-You are really here
-Minnie... unnie... blondie
Minnie laughed
-Did you liked it Shu?
Shuhua shook her head as she looked at the five women
-You don't know how much we miss you
-Sorry...
-There's nothing to apologize for Shu, the important thing is that you're here
-And you were always late
-YUQI
-IT IS TRUE
Miyeon looked at her friends and smiled, she hadn't seen them so happy in years, especially Minnie, all they needed was Shuhua, their Yeh Hope
Hours later only Soojin was in the room with Shuhua, Shuhua's sisters and friends had already visited her, Soojin had offered to stay with Shuhua at the hospital, she had ask
