~*~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER FOURTY NINE: THE DESPERATE CRY
"SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE?!!!" The desperate cry echoed in Neville's mind, he recognized the voice as Ginny's and it didn't take more than a few seconds for Neville to start running. Neville ran as fast as he could, heart in his throat, fearing the worst but when he arrived at the scene, it wasn't Ginny there but Ron with Harry.
"What happened?" Neville asked immediately
"Harry, he's hurt. Just look!" Ron said desperately
"How bad is it?"
"Really bad.... Neville, run; Run to Dumbledore! Tell him to come immedi--" Ron started.
Neville didn't need a telling to, before Ron had even finished his sentence, Neville was running. Neville had never had many friends, and seeing Harry like that, practically killed him. He just hoped he made it in time.
~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione was jogging with Draco right at her heels. Both had heard the scream and were heading back towards it when someone practically tackled Hermione, knocking her off her feet.
"Ginny? What the--"
"HERMIONE!"
"What?"
"HERMIONE, FOLLOW ME! IT'S HARRY!!!" Ginny cried desperately. Hermione gasped but immediately followed Ginny, her head spinning.
Not Harry, Not Harry she prayed.
Harry was the one who was keeping everyone safe, he was the confident one, the one who was sure that no one would get hurt. It couldn't be that bad...not to Harry. But judged by Ginny's actions, it was serious.
They rounded the corner, practically at a sprint, to reveal Ron and Harry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry's vision was blurring again, he heard voices. His eyes fluttered open to reveal Ginny, Ron and Hermione and...Draco in the background. He moaned.
"Harry?" He heard Hermione ask, tears on her face.
"Hmm"
"Harry Mate?"
"Ron?" Harry whispered
"Yea Harry. We're all here for you. Neville's gone to get Dumbledore. You're going to be all right. Just hang on," Ron said encouraging. Harry just nodded.
For a few moments, no one said anything. All were focused on Harry's ragged breathing. Hermione and Ginny were already crying. Draco stood uncomfortably in the background: watching. Ron still was supporting Harry up.
But suddenly Harry's ragged uneven breaths became gasps for air.
"HARRY!" Hermione screamed
"HARRY!" Ginny cried
"HARRY C'MON!" Ron shouted
Harry's eyes rolled to the back of his head and with a final gasp he laid motionless.

(I feel really bad about doing this but...I couldn't help myself. Cliffhanger...I know you all have suffered so much! I still feel bad about not updating fast enough today but I had two hours home the entire day and that was spent doing schoolwork! Hope you all enjoyed it! *Hugs! Haystack)
