Hermoine looked up around her as the black drained away. Ron forgot his aching ankle and pulled himself back up. Subconsciously; Hermoine ducked under Ron and huddled beneath his arm. Ron gave her a hug and then stumbled.

For a moment Hermoine wrenched her gaze from the changing atmosphere and bent down beside Ron. When she saw what was wrong with his leg she reached into her robes for her wand. Moving her fingers around the pocket; she began to get nervous. What if she couldn't find the wand? What if they were both gone? Suddenly her hand brushed by a long hard object. Pulling it out; she began to mouth the first part of the restoring spell when she happened to glance at her wand. It wasn't her wand, it was a stick! Hermoine began to throw it away when it began to wriggle and change color... A snake!

She screamed and threw it aside. Then she reached out to touch Ron. His hands were clammy; and he was sweating. Hermoine; her parents being doctors; knew the severity of the leg. And this was definetely a break. Just as she was about to do something about it Ron started to scream.

She wrenched her hand away from his foot; but it wasn't her fault he was screaming. HE was staring straight up into the sky; if you could call it that. Hermoine looked up and didn't see a thing; but she knew he had to be seeing something because he still hadn't stopped screaming.

Then he began to moan and when Hermoine looked at the ground; he was floating! She reached out to pull him down to her but he just screamed even more so she snapped her hands back. He stopped moaning after he was 10 feet in the air; and stopped movement at 20. When he reached 40 feet; Hermoine started to scream his name, and he began to fall.
