What: Being there for a friend

When: Sunday right after this
Rating: SFW but may be sad times

Within moments of Luna's revelation Hermione flooed to St. Mungos. Upon her arrival in the main reception area she went to the end of the queue line and waited impatiently for her turn to speak to the receptionist. It felt like forever before she was able to make it to the front of the line. While she waited worry for her friend mounted. She kicked herself for not having popped into their home sooner like she had promised. Xenophilius hadn't been well the last time she'd seen him and it pained her to think that things had gotten monumentally worse.

Finally, she had gotten information as to Lovegood's location and made her way to his room. Pausing just outside the door Hermione took a deep breath while she battled within herself. Other than Harry and Ron, Luna was among the few people Hermione actually considered to be worthy of being called family. Therefore, did she just walk in and sit down or should she follow protocol and knock? Opting for the later she gave a quick rap and waited to be acknowledged.

While Hermione was gone, she made sure that her father was comfortable. She read her book a little bit, trying to take her mind off of things. And her stomach was definitely growling so when she showed up, it was a welcome sight. And by the time that Hermione got back, Luna's father was sort of awake. Enough to say hello to her, though he was clearly not well enough to sit up.

"Oh thank you. I imagine it is. You're a star." She went around to get the food out of the bag. Xenophilius drifted in and out of sleep as she started to finally eat. "I really should go home and actually shower and change my clothes eventually too." It had been a while since she had.

As Hermione placed the items on the table she heard a small groan come from the bed. She smiled a little to herself glad that she'd opted for soup instead of something a bit more solid. That meant that if Mr. Lovegood was up to try something to eat her choice of menu was perfect.

"Hello, Mr. Lovegood," she nodded turning around to face both him and Luna. "Don't strain yourself," she lifted a hand in a manner meant to let him know she didn't expect him to play host. "Save your energy so you can get home sooner."

After Luna was settled, Hermione took one of the butter beers and sat down beside her friend and just listened for a few moments. "If you'd like I can bring you some of my clothes and you can shower here. That way you don't miss a moment of his recovery." Hermione could barely imagine the pull that must be going on inside of Luna. Hermione knew she wanted so much to care for her father but needed to care for herself as well.

Xenophilius sat back in the bed but he did raise it up so that he was in a sitting position. "That smells good," he commented. Apparently he had his appetite, which made Luna look quite relieved. Not eating wasn't good, but then she didn't really blame him for not wanting to eat the bland things they gave their patients.

Luna handed him some of the soup and hoped that he was well enough to eat it on his own. After a minute or two, he started to eat and so she settled in to eat as well now that she didn't have to worry about it.

"Oh that would be lovely. Thank you. Though I do have to go home and check on the animals." They thankfully weren't starving, but she should make sure they were all okay nonetheless.

Hermione didn't want to intrude on Luna's time with her father. Her intent for the visit had been to support her friend. She had done that and could continue to do so in ways that were more practical than simply sitting there taking up space. She actually felt horrible that Luna was waiting on her father rather than Hermione doing it for her. Still, she understood that this was the first time in a few days that things were back to what had become normal for her friend. Therefore, she sat back and silently watched as she finished off her butter beer.

"I'm happy to oblige either way," Hermione stood and walked over to where Luna sat. "Just let me know what you need. I'm going to head back to my flat." She leaned down and gave Luna a quick hug. "Mr. Lovegood, take care and don't let Luna overwork herself." She knew that her friend would bend over backwards to take care of her father at the risk of letting herself go. Something Hermione needed to be certain she didn't allow Luna to spiral too far into.
