Prologue

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

The sun was high in the cloudless sky, it's rays warmed the cool September air. Inside Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, 24 year old Magnolia Potter worked on the third floor: Potions and Plant Poisoning.

"How are you feeling, Mister Brown" Magnolia asked the fifth year Hufflepuff as she looked over his health charts and other information.

"Better than a few days ago" her patient respond.

"Good. That's good. Are you feeling any pain?"

"A little. Just a throbbing around my wrist" the Hufflepuff answered as he held out the sore wrist to her; the wrist that the Venomous Tentacula bite.

"Let's take a look" Magnolia said as she gently held his wrist in one of her hands. With gentle ease, she removed the gauze to reveal the puffy and red injury. "Ah ha! Now we know why you feel a throbbing,t the bite is infected. I'll clean it right up and than I'll give you a pain relieving potion to dull the throbbing that you're feeling".

To halt the infection from the poison, Magnolia gave her Hufflepuff patient wound-cleaning potion and than the pain reliever potion.

"Thank you" the young Hufflepuff thanked as he felt the painful throbbing decrease to almost a whisper.

"You are welcome Mister Brown. Next time pay more attention on the plant and not on the girl".

"I wasn't- how did you know?"

Magnolia giggled a little, "Call it Woman's Intuition. It is a good thing your Professor reacted as quickly as he did".

"Yeah. Professor Longbottom is pretty quick when there's an emergency".

Before Magnolia could comment, the Welcome Witch from the lobby ran in out of breathe.

"Healer Potter! Come quick!"

"What is it? What's wrong?"
"...Patient...Spell Damaged...Lockheart...escaped!"

"What? Okay. I need you to go to the Auror's Office and get my brother's team down here" Magnolia ordered and than added when the Welcome Witch didn't move, "Now! Go!"

The Welcome Witch hurried out of the room.

"Excuse me Mister Brown" Magnolia excused herself as she took out her wand, "I have a patient to stop" and than she too hurried out of the room.

Lockheart hadn't gotten very far by the time Magnolia caught up to him, she had just seen him exit through one of the doors that led to the main staircase and she followed him. Taking two steps at a time, Magnolia hurried down the stairs to get closer to him with backup Healers behind her.

"Lockheart!" she yelled to get his attention.

The escaping patient ignored her but he did stop for a split second, but only to cast a spell at her. Magnolia ducked, the spell just missing her by inches. Than Lockheart was on his way again with Magnolia and the Healers on his tail. As she descended down the stairs, she shot a non-harmful freezing spell but she just missed him. Behind her, the other Healer fired the same and similar spells to stop him but Lockheart was quicker. Magnolia ran even faster down the stairs to catch up to him. She was closer now, she raised her wand to cast the freezing spell once more.

Suddenly, a bluish green light hit her. In surprise, she lost balanced and fell down the stairs. Before she lost conscience, the Healers behind her yelled out her name in both shock and concern.

"Potter!"

To Be Continued...

A Note from the Author (xxPyRaxx): Okay, so here's the situation. I've lost all my inspiration to finish the first installment of this series write now, Baby, Don't Marry Me. I'm hoping while I get this installment up, I will have the inspiration again to finish. If you read and look closely, you might be able to predict the outcome of Draco and Magnolia's relationship and their future (together? Or apart?).

Again, I'm sorry it took so long but I am trying my best.

I still want to finish the first installment but PLEASE keep waiting, Baby, Don't Marry Me will be concluded if it is the last thing I do!
