Cooling Charm

Professor Snape stood up where he'd been kneeling by the hospital bed. "I have done all that I can do for now," he said, "The rest will be up to Draco. There are others I must see to now, Madam Pomfrey, but I shall return later to check."

Suddenly, she found herself alone with him. "Pansy," he croaked, batting at the ugly wound across his shoulder, "Please help me, it burns!"

She had to do something for him, even if Pomfrey and Professor Snape would not approve.

"Here, my sweet," she said, "I'll just put a Cooling Charm over that."
