First, I want to reply to a review by Excessivelyperky - Thanks for the reviews. In the second chapter where Poppy couldnt get Severus onto a bed, Minerva got annoyed saying "Why havent you put him on a bed?" and then later saying "Are you going to help?" So I just thought that we could assume he as put into a bed then. Thanks for the reviews :)

"Im afraid we need to use the spell again to open up the wound, and then heal it properly with the counter spell, not just the healing salve." Remus said.
"No." Minerva said, shaking her head and bringing herself into an upright position.
"We have to." Remus said. "Its the only way to cure him properly."
"The only way?" She asked, fearful.
"Yes Minerva. You dont have to watch. You can take care of Poppy." Albus suggested.
"When will you do it?"
"As soon as possible." Remus said. "I guess we can do it now. Are you alright to get up, Minerva?"
"I, I think so." She stood up and made her way slowly over to Poppys bed. She began taking Poppys temperature even though it wasnt needed.
"Shall we do it Albus?" Remus asked. "Are you willing to do the counter spell while I do the first?"
"Sure, lets go." Albus said. "Minerva, please dont look."
"I wasnt planning on it." She said.
"Okay. One, two three." Remus said, shooting a look at Minerva. "Sectumsempra."

Blood once again splattered the walls, but didnt quite reach Poppys bed, so Minerva was safe from being splattered again. She looked up when she heard Albus mutter the counter spell, and she felt dizzy seeing him like that. She tried to find a chair, but there wasnt any nearby. She decided to take deep breaths, but the floor felt like it was tilting beneath her feet. Trying to grab onto the bed, but failing, someone grabbed her arm to stop her falling, and then everything was black.
"Albus? Remus? What is going on?" Pomona said after entering the wing just to see Minerva swaying. She gasped when she saw what stood infront of her.
"Pomona, Ill explain everything in a minute. Could you possibly get Minerva onto a bed?" Remus asked.
"Sure." She said, picking up the Minervas limp body and putting it on the bed next to Poppys. She then watched Albus and Remus clean up the blood, and check over Severus.
"Now tell me," She demanded. "What has been going on? Why are Severus, Poppy and now Minerva all in beds?"
"Okay, this is a long story, but I will tell you what I have been told. From what I know, Severus came back from a call and he had a gash on his chest. Poppy healed it with the salve, but she was distraught so she couldnt put him on a bed. I think that was when Minerva came in and helped Poppy out, and let Poppy rest." Remus explained.
"Thats when Minerva called me." Albus said. "She needed help checking on Severus as Poppy was sleeping, and when she woke, Severus's temperature climbed high and we needed to find out what the spell was that was used on him."
"Thats where I came in." Remus said. "They wanted to me to find out if the spell was dark or anything, but I didnt know. I recalled that Severus had made a few of his own spells in his school days and it turned out that Harry Potter had got hold of the book Severus had written them in. We found spells but we needed to test them, so Poppy volunteered."
"Poppy volunteered? Why?" Pomona asked.
"We knew the counter spells, and she trusted us to take care of her. More importantly, she wanted to help Severus." Remus said.
"She will be okay right?" She asked.
"Yes, but she needs rest at the moment, which Is why she is sleeping." Albus said.
"Minerva felt quite faint after seeing Poppy like that, but soon recovered. However, we had to perform the spell again on Severus to let the would be healed properly with the counter spell. Minerva didnt take this very well, as you just saw." Remus said.
"So thats that." Albus concluded.
"Will they all be alright?" Pomona asked. "Do you need any help?"
"We dont need any, but you are welcome to stay and help if you really want to." Albus said.
"Yes, I will take care of Minerva." She said, and heard slight movement from behind her. Minerva was stirring. Bustling over to Minervas bed, she spoke to her gently.

"Minerva." She said. "Wake up." It took Minerva a minute or two to open her eyes, but she managed eventually.
"Pomona? What are you doing here?" Minerva asked, slightly slurring her words.
"I came in just to see you pass out." She explained. "Your lucky I was there to catch you."
"I fainted?" She asked, comfused.
"Yes. I think it was because of what you saw over there." Pomona pointed, and Minerva looked.
"Oh yeah, I remember now." She said, wincing and putting her hand to her head. This didnt go unnoticed.
"Want a painkiller?" Pomona asked.
"Please." Minerva said, relieved when she asked. Minerva was watching Poppy sleep while Pomona was getting the potion. When she returned, she looked towards Pomona again.
"Thank you." Minerva said, sitting up.
"No problem."

Minerva felt the painkiller start to work almost instantly. She then felt better to sit up, then she walked over to Poppy. Minerva looked at the healed scar on her chest.
"Albus?" Minerva said. "Will she be in any pain when she wakes up?"
"I shouldnt think so. If there was any pain, it would be a small amount." He answered.
"Okay." She said and found a chair on the other side of Poppys bed. Why couldnt that chair have been on the other side when she needed it most? She took Poppys hand and watched her sleep.
"She will be okay, Min." Remus said, looking sypathetically at his collegue.
"I know." She sighed. "I want her to wake up."
"The sleeping charm I placed on her will only last another hour or two." Albus said.
"Okay, I will wait. What about Severus?" She asked. "He will be alright now?"
"Should be. His temperature is coming down nicely. He might wake up within the next day or two.
"Okay, thanks for your help." She turned to look at Pomona and Remus. "All of you."
"Its no problem." Remus said, and smiled at her.
"No problem at all." Albus said.
"I will always be there for my two best friends." Pomona replied, which made Minerva smile. She liked to know she had so many people looking out for her.
