This story begins in the hospital wing immediately after the confrontation with Fudge in the Goblet of Fire.
Prologue
The atmosphere in the hospital wing was thick with tension as the occupants of the room looked towards the door where Minister Fudge hurried out. The harsh reality of the night's events began to settle in everyone's minds. Voldemort is back…and they were on their own. No ministry support, no Aurors, no warning to the public of the dangers they are now facing.
Dumbledore was the first to come to his senses, and turned to address Severus Snape. Before he could speak a word, he was engulfed in a bright blue light and disappeared. The shock of Albus Dumbledore disappearing so abruptly did not even register as more bright lights enveloped every occupant in the room, leaving it empty.
In the corner, a small beetle chirped in confusion. Madam Pompfrey, who had been preparing a potion for her patient, realized just how quiet the hospital wing suddenly became and placed the vial she was holding down to go investigate.
Right before Madam Pompfrey opened her office door to investigate the sudden lack of noise, another bright blue light filled the hospital wing and all the previous occupants of the room reappeared. As Madam Pompfrey strode quickly into the wing, she observed a different scene from minutes before. Gone were the fear, uncertainty, and pain. Instead there was a grim determination and look of hope on each person. As Poppy looked on, she heard Albus Dumbledore say "Let's get started."
