Chapter 12. Emergency in the Infirmary. "Oh, dear Merlin." Madame Pomfrey stressed as she quickly went to contact the Headmaster. Oh yes, something was terribly, terribly wrong. Hermione was having seizures.

Chapter 13. Tired Souls

Professor Dumbledore stormed into the Infirmary, and was at Hermione's bed in an instant. "Albus, I don't understand this. In all my years here, I've never seen anything like this before. She's still unconscious, yet having terrible seizures. I don't know what is causing them, so I have no way of knowing how to help her. But if she doesn't wake soon Albus, I fear that she won't make it."

Professor Dumbledore silently laid a hand on Hermione's arm. In an instant her voice was projected through out the infirmary. "Cappi , I can't feel my arms. I want to wake up, but Cappi I fear that I am awake…What do you mean Cappi? …Oh Cappi, please help me…Yes, there's an unbearable pain in the back of my head. …Cappi, am I in danger? ……I'm trying Cappi, I'm trying!"

Silence filled the infirmary. Suddenly screams could be heard throughout the castle, as Hermione suffered more seizures. Then just as suddenly, they stopped, leaving no trace of their existence. Gasping for breath Hermione resumed speaking, "What's happening to me Cappi?… Seizures? Oh , Cappi, please help me! I'm trying to wake up, but all of the sudden I'm really tired. … Cappi, don't yell at me" Hermione's voice was getting softer as she spoke, "I'm so tired… Please don't let me die Cappi."

Out in the darkness, sobbing, sighing
Yonder, where the dead are lying,
Over mounds with headstones gray,
And new ones made but yesterday
Weeps the rain above the mould,
Weeps the night-rain, sad and cold.
Asleep not dead your grief is vain,
Wild, wailing winds, November rain.

Professor Dumbledore dropped his hand from Hermione's arm as he swiftly told Madame Pomfrey to get two potions from her office, that would help revive Miss Granger. As she ran to her office, Professor Dumbledore turned to Draco, who was still seated beside Hermione. "Mister Malfoy, when Madame Pomfrey returns you must be silent, and do not move while she administers the potions, for utmost silence is required for what must be done to revive Miss Granger…. And if Poppy doesn't return soon, I fear it will be to late." Dumbledore muttered the last bit under his breath; as Madame Pomfrey returned with three potions, instead of the requested two. "Now Poppy, I trust you understand the importance of this." At her nod he continued, "You need to administer the first potion very swiftly. Then wait till my signal before continuing on." Slowly she came closer to Hermione, Draco didn't moved a muscle as she poured the steaming blue liquid down Hermione's throat. Then with a quick look at Professor Dumbledore, who nodded his head in approval, she administer the last two potions.

"Very good Poppy." With a slight twinge to her voice she asked, "Now what Albus?" "Now we wait, Poppy, now we wait." An hour passed while they waited for anything to happen; forty-five minutes later Professor Dumbledore was about to tell Madame Pomfrey to get more potions when Draco suddenly gasped. Turning in alarm, they saw what had caused such a reaction from him, Hermione's eyes were open.
