Chapter 6 "Megan... MEGAN! Oh God! OH GOD! What am I supposed to do?!!!" Servius picked her up and ran down the hall. "Hospital... gotta go to the hospital wing!" He panted as he skidded around corners. "Get back here!" His father yelled as he ran past the classroom. "Madam Pomfry! Madam Pomfry, you have to help me!" "What is it, child?" Snape burst through the doors of the hospital wing with Megan in his arms. "Megan... she... fainted!" He was still panting from the long run. "Well don't just stand there: bring her here!" Madam Pomfry examined Megan. "How did it happen?" "I think my dad had something to do with it." "A professor? That's nonsense, pure twaddle! A teacher would never harm a student!" "I'll prove it!" Servius looked at Megan, from her head on down, until he found the writing on her wrist. It was glowing a sickly green! "Acid ink." He whispered under his breath. "What? Speak up, boy!" "It's acid ink." He looked up from under the strands of hair now falling in his face. "It was used along time ago as a form of torture. When people would write with those cutting quills, the acid would penetrate the blood stream. It would start to eat the body away from the inside." "Are you sure?" "Positive." He was, by this point, getting pretty choked up. "How do you know?" "Don't worry about that now! She's dying! We need an antidote!" "Right, I'll get some ingredients from the potions lab." With that, she raced off to Ranovious Snape's classroom. He won't help. I'll have to get the cure myself. Hold on, Megan. Just hold on.
