Chapter 18-
"Ellie!" Ron said, shifting to his side, looking down at her on the floor. She had gone pale, and she wasn't moving. Ron flew off the sheets. Then he stopped. He looked down at his legs; he was covered with dried blood.
"Ew!" Hermione said, helping Ron down from the bed. "You really need to...er- get cleaned up?"
Ron glared at her then sat slowly next to Ellie. She was in a crumpled mess on the hospital wing floor. Hermione picked her head up slowly and rested it on Ron's lap.
"Ron, I'm going to get her some water...should I get Madam Pomfrey?" Hermione implied.
Ron looked down at Ellie. "No... Not yet at least"
Time passed, but Ellie was still out cold. Hermione had fallen asleep beside her and Ron had fallen asleep, patting Ellie's head, which rested on his lap.

He was running through alleyways, not knowing where to turn. All he new was he had to find the source of the screams. It was getting darker by the second and he could barley see the narrow roads, and cobblestones below him. Finally, after what seemed like forever the screams got louder. He turned a corner and saw...
"Ron! Get up!" Hermione screamed, shaking him hard.
"Ugh..." He groaned, looking up and blinking, Hermione I was about to find out the end to that dream! He thought to himself.
Ellie was still lifeless on his lap, "Ron, look at Ellie" Hermione said quickly, her voice anxious and loud.
He looked at her, so peaceful, yet her expression was full of sadness and dread.
"She's looking paler! And Ron! Dumbledore should be here any moment; he's going to find Ellie here, knocked OUT! And still..." She stopped looking down at him, moving her gaze to the door. "Ron! We need to get out."
"Hermione...do u think we are going to just waltz out of here carrying a girl most people think I kidnapped? Usually you're the logical one!" He looked up at her as if she was crazy.
"Oh get up you prat! Do you not even comprehend your situation! RON we have to FIND Harry!" Hermione began to shake, a mix between anger and anxiousness.
"Hermione! Don't you think I want to look for him more than ANYTHING" His voice beginning to get to a higher level than normal. "BUT WE CAN'T! ITS IMPOSIBLE"
"Ron...by now you should know nothing is impossible." With a quick flick of her wrist and a muttered spell, Ron watched Ellie begin to rise.
"What..."Ron began with a sudden bit of awe, his anger subsiding.
"Shhhhh! Oh I can't believe I'm doing this..." Hermione taped Ellie's head and muttered another spell. It looked as though Invisible liquid was flowing all over her as Ellie began to disappear.
"What are you doing to her?" Ron asked, getting a little worried that Hermione had gone off the deep end. "Hermione?"
"Ron, If we want to find Harry, and get you out of danger we are going to," Ron watched her stop, as if looking for the right word "well we are just going to get out!"
"Hermione...I don't even know if I can..."Ron looked up into her eyes, pools of blue hope.
"Trust me." She whispered.
"Do I have a choice?" He replied, giving her a grin. But, surprisingly, instead of glaring back at him, she took his hand and pulled him up.
"Ron, there's no time for jokes...we really need to get moving..." Hermione moved lightly, holding on to air, or rather holding on to what looked like air, but was really Ellie.
"What did you do to her?" Ron asked, while he staggered behind her, a bit less gracefully.
"I levitated her then...oh well its to complicated and we don't have time...Shhh!" He watched as she peered around the door of the hospital wing. His legs were stiff from lack of usage and he felt drained.
"Miony...do we hafta leave now? Can't we wait just a ho-"He was cut of by her hand pressing up against his mouth?
"Shh!" She whispered again. "I hear people talking...Hurry!"
The two sped down the corridor toward the nearest corner where they stopped. Ron took over the job of holding on to Ellie while Hermione peered around the corner to see who was coming.
"Oh dear..." Hermione whimpered, turning herself so she was leaning up against the wall. "Its them." And with that she slipped onto the floor as a heap of hair fell into her face.
"Ellie!" Ron said, shifting to his side, looking down at her on the floor. She had gone pale, and she wasn't moving. Ron flew off the sheets. Then he stopped. He looked down at his legs; he was covered with dried blood.

He looked at her, so peaceful, yet her expression was full of sadness and dread.
