Ginny tried her best to ignore the searing pain in her arms. She could see herself, standing there, her body locked upright, eyes glazed over, slits up her arms, the blade beneath her, bloody footprints leading away from her, the blood from her opened arms flowing in a steady flow to the puddles forming beneath them, outstretched.
Ron dropped into the rom first, her body falling out of shock, collapsing onto him, the weight of her body knocking them over, blood spilling over Ron. Ginny's eyes were closed, her face drained of all color, her skin almost sickening in it's pale death white shade.
Draco Practically dove down next, ripping his shirts into shreds the instant he landed. Harry and Hermione followed suit. Draco kneeled, taking up one of the arms and tightly tying several tourniquets, and bandages around the wound, crawling over her to start on the next.
Hermione gasped and picked Ginny's upper body off of Ron, kneeling, sitting on her heels, pulling Ginny's head into her lap. Harry chocked, seeing the blood dripping off of Ron, whose eyes seemed to be hollow, locked on his sister's body.
"Infirmary! Now!" Draco barked, swinging Ginny up into his arms. Ron walked up, shoving Draco backwards, catching Ginny in his own.
"This is my fight Malfoy. Back. Off." Ron's eyes were seething with hatred then, immense fear and concern radiating off of him, Draco took it, bowing his head.
Harry took to action at that point hoisting up the ladder first, then helping Ron with Ginny, then Getting Hermione safely up. "'Mione. Go get Blaise and Aidan and find Dumbledore. Get everyone alerted, and tell him to get this room inspected and sealed!" Ron nearly shouted this, then turned to Harry. "Find my father. Stay with him. Keep him busy." Harry nodded, and Ron was gone before Draco had climbed to the top of the space.
~~+~~
Hermione finished getting Draco up, hoisting up the rope, coiling it and throwing it over her shoulder. "We need to go!" she made to grab his wrist, but ended up allowing him to grab her, forcefully grabbing her back to him. "That could have been you tonight. You know that."
She nodded solemnly, dropping her hand, letting it fall to her side. "Yeah. I know."
Draco's eyes blazed with furry. I'm going to find who did this, Hermione. Because I wnt let I happen again."
Hermione smiled weakly. And Draco kissed her quickly, before following her to the Slytherin Boy's Dorms.
~~+~~
Harry had been running down the halls frantically since Ron had taken off with Ginny. Running along a darker corridor on the way to the Weasley's he felt something bump into him. Hard. He fell back, the person looming over him. A smell of grease and oil dripping off them. Hair slick and long, a crooked nose, and black robes, stretched out behind him, even though no wind could be found.
"Potter... you seem to be out at a late hour... that doesn't seem very safe, now does it." The figures hands draped over one another, the arms crossing tightly, like a knot, in front of his chest.
"P- Professor Snape! Your... back."
~~+~~
Ron practically beat the dorm door down, trying to get inside Madam Promfrey's office. His head hung low, nearly touching his sisters. Madam Promfrey appeared in her bed clothes, the lights in the room automatically lighting around them.
She saw the body in Ron's arms, limbs limply hanging over. "Dear Lord..." A gasp escaped her lips as she rushed over, stealing the corpse forming body away from him, taking her to a bed. Ron sank to the floor, his body week from exhaustion. "Blood! We need blood!!!" She screeched.
Ron through out his arms and Madam Promfrey snubbed him away like a child. "We can't tke blood from you! Too weak. A pint or so now, but that's it. Your blood hasn't had oxygen supply freshly! We need someone who is stronger, and certainly not out of breath!
Her face turned up, looking at a figure in the door. She nodded. "He will do."
~~+~~
Hermione rapped loudly on the door where screams and laughs omitted loudly. "BLAISE! Blaise come out of there now! Aidan! QUIT THAT NOISE THIS INSTANT! You both probably have all the dorms up with that racket!" She jumped back as some object hit the door with a loud thud, cracking the lock.
Draco busted in, stopping the two boys in their tracks, both whom looked like they had been caught in the act of murder. Faces flushed, eyes bloodshot and filled with a look of Laughter and evil and conniving all at the same time. Draco glared at them and they both dropped the large books they had been preparing to hurtle. Aidan looked like his birthday cake had been stepped in, and Blaise turned, seeing the fear in Draco's face.
"Who is it?" Blaise said distinctly, his face growing colorless, voice hollow.
"Ginny."
Blaise shot past them all, knocking Hermione over in the doorway, his face shaking, leaping down the stairs. Aidan Nodded and began to run after him.
Draco walked out, shutting the door and picking Hermione up, pulling her to her feet. "You know he was sorry for that."
She nodded and squeezed his hand lightly as they began to to run for the headmaster.
~~+~~
Harry stuttered a bit, then stood, staring fearlessly into Snape's face. "Professor," He said the term with a snap, as if sarcastically, "I was actually headed to the Weasley's-"
"Fro what Potter? Cookies and milk?" Snape spat.
"Actually, there has been an accident, regarding Ginny, Professor Weasley's daughter, if you will remember he has children." Harry glared, his eyes alight with fire.
"Of course I remember, Potter. I shall escort you there. I have need of a word with the Professor anyhow, along with catching you up on homework, since I suppose you will be needing to keep the man busy?" Severus's lips curled in an awful twist of a smile, evil in it's curves.
Harry blinked momentarily and then nodded dutifully, following the Professor forwards to the apartment.
~~+~~
Ron's face looked joyous at the man's appearance. "Dumbledore! I- I sent Draco and Hermione to look for you but, but I suppose you weren't there when they tried to find you!"
Dumbledore just nodded. "Yes, Mr. Weasley. " Her rolled up his robe's sleaves and held out an arm for Madam Promfrey. "I suspect they shall both find their way here shortly, as I left directions for them ,on my door, that anyone wishing to find me could see Madam Promfrey." And then he smiled that gentle smile of assurance that just said everything would be alright, even if it wasn't.
