XXXHarry Potter: The Well of Sorrow
The Conquering Heroes
"They seem to have been through a lot." Professor Snape remarked as he looked down at the still forms of Neville Longbottom and Cho Chang.
Madam Pomfrey looked up at the professor. "That's putting it lightly." She replied, stoppering a dark red bottle.
"How are they?" Professor McGonagall asked, there was a hint of worry in her voice that made Pomfrey sigh and rub her aching eyes.
"They're doing better than they were." She stated, rising to her feet and rubbing her hands upon a sterile towel. "They've lost a lot of blood. There are badly healed wounds, looks of broken bones, bruises and injuries caused by blunt objects and stabbing weapons. They were a right mess when they first came in. Now. Now they'll live."
McGonagall closed her eyes at the description. "Where were they?"
Madam Pomfrey glanced to Snape. Her job was to heal the kids. Snape frowned for a moment, looking down at the students.
"No one knows. Professor Tremble and the others are looking into to it. All we know is that they've been missing since breakfast this morning and then they suddenly appeared in the entrance hall, bloodied and beaten. None of the students that found them know how they got there." Snape explained.
"Can they be woken up?" McGonagall asked.
Pomfrey immediately shook her head. "I've just used a sleeping draught. They'll be under for at least a day or more. They need to heal." There was finality in her voice, one that brooked no argument.
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly. "We'll be needing to know when they wake up. Where ever they've been, it may have something to do with the recent attacks upon the students."
Pomfrey agreed. "I'll get you when they wake." She said.
"Until then, there are many other problems that need dealing with." Snape said.
McGonagall held up a hand. "We've already had this discussion, Professor."
Snape nodded sharply, casting one last glance at the student and then stomping out of the room.
"I'm guessing things aren't going well." Pomfrey said.
McGonagall nodded. "There are times…" McGonagall shook her head. She glanced to Pomfrey. "Get me when they wake." She said, turning heel and walking off.
Madam Pomfrey nodded and returned to doing what she did best. Taking care of the kids.
