Harry Potter and the Secrecy Within

Chapter 4: St. Mungos, First Floor.

Harry ran back to the fireplace and threw in more floo powder.

"Saint Mungos," He shouted.

Within ten seconds a Medi-witch materialized in the fire.

"St. Mungos, largest and most well kept Wizarding Hospital in the magical realm. How may we be of service?" The Medi-witch said cheerfully.

Harry was unsure how to reply but tried his best.

"Yes, this is Harry Potter, my headmaster, Albus Dumbledore is having something wierd happening to him we are at Hogwarts and our school Medi-witch is having trouble containing him and is un sure if or how to treat him."

"Honey, step back I am sending some Medi-witches right now." The old witch told Harry.

She dematerialized and three other Medi-witches and a Medi-wizard came out of the green flames.

"I can tell exactly what he has just from this," The one stampered, "He won't be contained by conventional methods so forget the strecher just yet, Kriphook."

The witch shot a full body bind at Dumbledore and he fell to the floor with a loud Boom, waking some of the pictures of previous headmasters and headmistresses.

"Please do keep it down in here or you will both recieve detentions," One sleepy and obviously delerious past headmistress chanted falling back to a rythmic snore.

"Alright, I assume you two will accompany Mr. Dumbledore to the hospital." The wizard named Kriphook said looking at Madam pomfrey and Harry.

Harry was about to speak up when Madam Pomfrey decided to.

"Mr. Potter, here, will accompany you I have duties to fufill here and the Deputy-Headmistress must be informed now off with you, and Harry dear please floo the Hospital wing here when you get any news I'm sure Minerva will be waiting anxiously with me."

"All right," Harry finally mumbled.

"Then lets go get Mr. Dumbledore checked in at St. Mungos." Kriphook said anxious to get Dumbledore adequate treatment before his condition would have the chance to worsen. "I believe now is the time for the strecher," Kriphook continued as he conjured one before their eyes, "Wingardium Levosia," He finished and Dumbledores stiff body lying on the strecher rose.

Harry threw some more floo powder into the fire and allowed Kriphook to go befor him, and then a Medi-witch, next himself, and finally the last two Medi-witches came out of the fireplace into the First Floor of St. Mungos together.

Harry had been instructed to wait for them and tell them they were relieved of this duty and he would be off to room Two-Fourty-Nine if anyone from Hogwarts wanted to contact him or their Headmaster.

Harry ran down the corridor and into a private room, "What's wrong with him?" He asked the nearest Medi-witch.

"Honey, please go wait in the main lobby he will most likely be staying the night, if not a few days." She politely told Harry, who reluctant to this request did as he was told and trudgged to the main waiting area.

Minerva, followed by Flitwick and Snape apparated into the lobby right where Harry was sitting.

"Professors," Harry shouted jumping up.

"Harry," Minerva nearly shouted as well but contained herself, "Why aren't you in with Dumbledore?"

"They asked for all visitors to 'please stay in the lobby' and they would come get us when he was able to take visitors." Harry explained.

"What?" Flitwick bellowed, "I will not allow this to happed, what room Harry, I'll hex every one of them to get to Dumbledore. Snape believes he has the right potion and we are damn well going to give it a shot."

Harry was shocked not only was this the first time he had ever seen Professor Flitwick get angry but he swore infront of Harry as well. Through all of this though Harry managed to mumble out "Two-Fourty-Nine."

"NO, I will not have this either, Flitwick sit down or I will put a full body bind on you." Minerva choked out.

Now people waling by patients, visiotrs, and Medi-witches alike were staring. Harry tried to mellow the conversation.

"What potion have you brought, Professor Snape?" Harry asked quietly, full aware that everyone in the room was staring at him.

"One that was just approved by the Ministry, it's called Opinesium, a very powerful potion which effects are similar to that of a cure-all potion mixed with unicorn blood but without the cursed half life."

"Oh," Was all Harry managed to spew out of his mouth before Kriphook appeared again.

"Ok, Mr.Potter," Kriphook started but noticed McGonagol, Snape, and Flitwick, "Who are you?" He demenaded of them.

"Professors McGonagol, Snape, and Flitwick, of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." McGonagol politely gestured amonst the three professors. "And you are....?"

"Simeon Kriphook Medi-wizard of St. Mungos, also one of Dumbledores service during his stay here. How may I help?"

"We would like to see our headmaster." Flitwick said rudely.

"If he is avaliable to take visitors." Minerva interjected before Flitwick could continue. "We have also brought the new Ministry approved Opinesium potion from the finest potionsmaster in Great Britain."

Kriphook was angered by Flitwicks blatent direspect for a Medi-wizrd and responded very harshly, "You think we do not have that potion here? We were the very first to know it was approved and the first to get our hands on some. And Dumbledore is not able to take visitors right now. I will however leave his wand with the young Mr. Potter to keep safe while Dumbledore is staying at St. Mungo's."

"What?" Minerva and Harry both choked out at the same time.

"Mr. Potter was with Dumbledore at the time of his first attack of his illness and he will be the keeper of Dumbledores wand until Dumbledore himself can use it."

"NO," Minerva shouted, "He is under my watch and my rule as Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts, he will NOT be the keeper of Dumbledores wand. I will see to it that it is locked up securely behind private chambers."

"Kriphook drew his own wand and mumbled under his breath "Morpheus depoies securious. Now I'd like to see you try to take that wand from Mr. Potter. You will not be able to only Mr. Potter has the power to handle it, if he sets it down a blinding green light will suround it and it can not be lifted by magical or muggle ways. Mr.Potter if you would please demonstrate. Hold out your arm and Professor McGonagol please try to remove it from his hand."

"Oh this is rediculous," She said as she moved for the wand with her hand but could not remove it from Harrys' hand. "Accio Dumbledores wand." Nothing happened. "Wingardium Levosia," Again nothing happened. The wand was stuck to Harrys hand.

"Now Mr. Potter if you will please set the wand down on the ground and let Miss McGonagol try again." Kriphook said fighting off a laugh.

Harry did as he was told and Professor McGonagol tried again to pick it up but her hand was only surrounded by a green light. "Accio Dumbledores wand." She said and again nothing, "Wingardium Levosia," She tried next but again nothing. "Well," She said finally giving up, "Harry is the wands keeper while Dumbledore is ill. I have business to attend to and Mr. Potter you will be coming back to Hogwarts with me; Snape, Flitwick you two will stay here and owl me when Dumbledore is ready for vistitors."

She walked over to the fireplace threw in some floo powder and jumped in followed by Harry they both emerged in her office.

"Harry," she told him throwing a shawl over her shoulder, "We're going to Hogsmeade to talk in the Three Broomsticks about all this you have missed dinner and you look like you could use a butter beer.

Harry and Professor McGonagol walked out of her office toward the Great Hall and out the front doors. She whistled and the Unknown of Hagrids ran to her.

Harry mouthed "Not now/" To the creature and it nodded.

"I'm too tired to walk so we will ride." Minerva said as she conjured a carriage behind the Unknown. "To Hogsmeade." She told the beast and off it took with them in full tow.
