Chapter 14 - The Ministry Officials

"Oh my god! I got here when I got your message, whats going on?" panted Roxy, as she bolted into the waiting room her face white.

It had been about three hours since the St.Mugo's Healers had taken Magsy, Sirius and James to St.Mungos, and Madison, Lily and Zara had had to spend all that time in the waiting room, pacing up and down, drinking cup after cup of coffee and biting their nails. They hadn't heard a word yet, from any of the healers.

Madison had got up halfway through to send an owl to Roxy to let her know what happened, and she had just turned up, at the same time a couple Ministry officials had come over to get the story of what happened from teh girls.

"If you don't mind miss, we are talking to the girls, at the minute," said one of the officials, a short blonde haired woman with a snobby voice.

"Look...Trinder," snapped Roxy, reading the womans name tag, "This happened in my appartment thats my sister in there!! I think I have a right to know you the hell is going on!"

"Will you keep your voice down?" said Trinder, taking a pad out from inside her robes, "If you want you can just sit here and listen the girls are about to explain what happened."

Roxy sat down and wrapped her arms around Madison kissing her on head. Madison smiled weakly.

"Alright so, from the begining if you please," said the second official, whose grey fluffy hair stuck up everywhere.

"Well..." said Zara slowly, dabbing her eyes with a tissue, "We were all getting into bed...James, one of the boys who got hurt, was sleeping in Madison's bed...because Madison wanted to be with Sirius, the other boy who fell, in his room,"

Madison expected Roxy to yell at her for planning to sleep in Sirius's room, but it seemed she was listening wraptly to what Zara was say.

"Then," squeaked Lily, in a high voice, "...Then, we heard a tapping at the blacony doors...Magsy was the only one out of bed so she went to open them, we just thought it was an post owl or something but," she let out a sob, and Zara continued,

"Magsy opened the doors and someone jumped in...a man I think and he shot some sparks with his wand and Magsy screamed for a second then...then fell to the floor."

"Then he turned on me," sobbed Lily, Zara put an arm around her, "But James attacked him...tried to hit him with a jinx or something...and then, the person went out onto the balcony."

"Then I came in," said Madison, willing herself not to cry, "With Sirius, then I saw Magsy and went to her...a second later I saw Sirius and James climbing over the balcony. I guess, I guess they were going after the person. The attacker. Then," she sniffed, "I went to get towels, and told Zara to get someone from St.Mungo's, when I was back in the room, we saw James and Sirius fall past the window...Then Zara came back in."

"Madison, went to see what had fallen past the window and then was when we first saw Sirius and James lying on the pavement," said Lily, "I followed her and saw them too, I called there names but then someone above us said, "they won't hear you now..." and we looked up and there was a firgure leaning over the roof...cloaked in black...but I could tell by the voice it was a man."

"Then," said Madison, her voice trembling, "The person cackled and Lily...Lily pulled me out of the way, and back into the bedroom...when the man shot green light at us-"

"The Avada Kedavra curse?" whispered one the male official to Trinder.

"Possibly," muttered Trinder vaguely, she was scribbling manically.

"-then Lily slammed the doors shut, and the healers turned up," finished Madison. Apparently neither she nor the others had noticed the hushed words between the two officials.

"Well we'll be staing around to ask-" began Trinder, but she was cut across, by a tall brown haired healer.

"Hello," he said, "I'm Healer Beaumont, and Sirius, James and Magsy are going to be fine," He smiled at them, as Madison, Lily and Zara burst into tears.

"Can we see them?" asked Roxy beaming.

"Yes," said Beaumont, "But don't hit them or shout to loud or anything like that...they're still kind of delicate...though neither of those boys will admit it."

Healer Beaumont, Madison, Lily, Zara and Roxy laughed, the officials had dissapeared. Madison continued to half laugh half cry as Healer Beaumont lead them along a corridor and left into a small ward.

Magsy was lying in bed asleep, her leg wrapped up. Sirius and James were next to her both laughing loudly, at something Sirius had just said, both of their faces and arms were bruised. James had a bandage around his head and Sirius was sporting a sling over his arm.

"Sirius," Madison muttered running to his bedside.

"Hey," he said, grinning.

She hit him on the chest, "How could you do that to me?"

"Ow! What?" asked Sirius, rubbing his chest.

"I thought you were going to be taken away from me..." said Madison, tears spilling down her cheeks.

Sirius smiled, "Come here..." he said pulling her next to him with his good arm, "Don't be stupid I wasn't going anywhere...the healers fixed my bones in like a second, more than I can for James, he had to have reconstructive surgery on his-"

"SHUT UP!! I DID NOT!" yelled James, throwing an apple from his bedside table at Sirius, who dodged it as the whole ward howled with laughter.
