Amour Dans La Bibliothèque
By Dorthey Star
* * * *
It was her, my library love. A snake had bitten her. I didn't have time to think of anything else because at that moment the Healers rushed in with her. She looked basically like I had remembered her. All the color was drained out of her face, and there were twigs and leaves stuck in her hair. Her head was bleeding from where she had fallen and hit it.
"What do you want me to do, Dr. Wingate?" I asked, after talking three deep breaths to calm me down.
"Send an owl to her parents- and her parents only- then come back and help me," she said. I hurried to the front desk where three owls were perched, waiting to be dispatched. Quickly he wrote a note.
Dear Sir or Madame:
Your daughter, Virginia Weasley, was brought into St. Mungo's Emergency Wing at 3:30 a.m. on August 12. She was the victim of a venomous snakebite, and we here at St. Mungo's are doing everything possible to stable her condition.

I attached the note to an owl and set it off before hurrying back to Peggy. When I got to the ICU unit, I immediate spotted Peggy because of Ginny's red hair. I rushed to them.
"What do you need me to do, Dr. Wingate?" I asked. She handed me a pair of rubber gloves along with a bowl of water and a sponge.
"Clean up her head wound the best you can, and then cut the hair around that are and clean it again. Once it's as clean as you can get it, heal it." I nodded, although I was aching to cry out for her not to make me do it. I sponged quickly and efficiently. Then I took a pair of scissors and cut the hair carefully around her wound. I pulled my want out of my pocket and healed her wound. Meanwhile Peggy was trying to heal her leg wound where the snake fang had gone through.
"Tell Dr. Moore to prepare a room for her. As soon as I give her the antidote for the venom she should be stable. After you talk to Dr. Moore go to the waiting room and see if her parents are here," Peggy said.
"Consider it done, Dr. Wingate," I said and hurried off to find Dr. Anna Moore. We prepared Ginny a private room with sunny yellow walls and fresh daisies on the bedside table. After stopping by to tell Peggy what room Ginny would be in, I headed for the waiting room. I found a sea of red hair when I walked into it.
"Mrs. Wesley? Your daughter is almost stable and will be moved to a private room shortly," I said. Mrs. Weasley burst into tears and all of the sons glared at me. "I'll be back to take you to your daughter's room," I said and turned and walked out of the waiting room, not wanting to be confronted by the Weasley brothers who, I'm sure, blamed me for what had happened to Ginny. I went back to the Emergency Room and didn't see her in there, so I went into her private room. Peggy and Anna were busy getting the unconscious Ginny settled into the hospital bed. Peggy looked up when I walked into the room.
"Good, you're back. We'll wake Ginny up now and make sure she's all right before we let her family in," Peggy said and waved her wand. Ginny's eyes opened and she tried to sit up before groaning and lying back down.
"What happened?" she moaned, and clutched her head. "Where's my hair? What happened to it?"
"You were in an accident, Virginia," Peggy explained, "You were bit by a very poisonous snake, but luckily there was a wizard near by that saw your distress signal and brought you here. Now, I need to ask you a few questions before we let your family in to see you."
"My family's here?" Ginny asked, blinking.
"Yes. We had Draco send your parents an owl alerting them of your admittance into the hospital. It's hospital procedure," Peggy explained. Ginny turned to the doorway where I had been standing and watching the whole thing in silence. She smiled slightly.
"Is Harry here? Please tell me he's not. It would be terribly awkward if he was," Ginny sighed.
"I don't remember," I said truthfully. She sighed.
"I really hope he isn't, although I'm sure he is." She turned back to Peggy. "All right, Dr. umm, what's your name?"
"Wingate. Dr. Wingate. Do remember everything or think that you've forgotten something or someone terribly important?" Peggy asked, looking down at her clipboard.
"Virginia Abigale Weasley. No, I don't think I've forgotten anything, although there are some things that I wish I would have forgotten," she said dryly.
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"I was out painting because a client had asked me to paint his favorite place to go relax, and then there was this terrible pain in my leg and so I sent up distress sparks, and I passed out, then woke up here," Ginny said.
"Right. Try lifting each of your limbs one at a time. Move all your fingers and toes, too," Peggy said. Ginny was able to lift both arms and move all fingers. Then she lifted her left leg and moved all her toes. She stopped. "Go on, lift your other leg, honey," Peggy said. Ginny started to cry.
"I can't move it!"
