Random quote of the chapter:
"The
time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes…and ships…and sealing-wax…
Of cabbages…and kings…
And why the sea is boiling hot…
And whether pigs have wings."
Chapter two: In the Hospital Wing
********************************
"Bloody hell," Ron squeaked. "Harry…HARRY!"
"Shut it, Weasley." Draco turned to Hermione, "hospital wing." He suggested abruptly.
"Right," nobody could deny that Hermione had a natural ability to take charge as she turned to the distraught Ginny and Luna. "Find a Professor…now!"
Ginny and Luna turned towards the door, only to find it locked. They simultaneously pulled out their wands. "Alohomora!" The door opened and they were gone.
*************
Hermione turned back to see a numb Neville, Ron, and Draco staring at the motionless Harry.
"Oh do shove over!" She shrieked, pushing them aside to kneel next to Harry.
"K…kn…know any spells?" Neville whispered. Ron answered him, pale in the face, "No."
"It's called CPR, Muggles use it all the time," Hermione explained, proceeding to give Harry mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
~Ginny's POV~
We had made it halfway down the hall before we bumped into Professors Snape and Flitwick.
"Professors," Luna gasped, "Umbridge…crucio…Harry!"
"Sorry, Miss Lovegood, I don't understand you. Speak up child." Flitwick beamed.
"UMBRIDGE USED THE CRUCIATUS CURSE ON HARRY POTTER!" I screamed.
"Miss Weasley," Snape responded coldly, "No need for these theatrics. Five points from Gryffindor…"
"He's bloody NOT breathing!" Luna gasped. At this, Snape's mask slipped, and fear slightly clouded his eyes.
"Lead the way."
~End Ginny's POV~
Hermione worked tearfully,
"C'mon Harry," Ron moaned, "breathe, please breathe. I need you, Harry don't do this to me, please."
The three Gryffindors and the Slytherin turned at the sound of the door opening to reveal a flustered Ginny and Luna, a glaring Snape and frowning Flitwick.
Flitwick took one look at Harry, let out a worried squeak, levitated him and strode from the office towards the hospital wing. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna worriedly traveled in his wake.
Snape motioned for Draco to join him in observing the stunned Umbridge.
"I am sure this was not part of her plan. Did Gryffindors catch you unawares, Draco?" Snape prodded gently.
"No Sir," Draco replied before faltering, "Severus, I…"
"No need to explain yourself, at least not now and here." Snape performed a binding spell on Umbridge and after making sure she was secure, muttered, "mobiliocorpus." They proceeded to the hospital wing.
************************************************
Snape and Draco strode into the hospital wing; the sight that greeted them was not welcoming.
Harry lay unconscious upon a bed in the corner; Madame Pomfrey was bustling about him. Ron and Ginny were barely suppressing their urge to scream at the medi-witch to save him. Hermione was comforting Neville, who had gone white with shock. Not surprising, Snape thought, when he remembered the torture Neville's parents had been through. Luna Lovegood was drifting around in an opposite corner, anxiety evident on her features, a dreamy look in her eyes.
I must contact Dumbledore. Snape swiftly turned and exited the room, leaving Draco to gaze blankly after him, mouth slightly open in delayed realization.
Bloody hell, Draco thought. He was not pleased to turn around and see everyone's attention was focused on him. Their questioning glances clearly communicated to him, *you can GO now.*
Bloody hell.

Location: Number 12, Grimmauld Place
Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Sirius Black, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Alastor Moody and Headmaster Albus Dumbledore were sitting down for dinner when Snape's voice rang clear out of the blank portrait in the kitchen.
"Albus! Lupin! Anyone… Black, Damnit! Answer me!"
"Yes, Severus." Dumbledore answered. They all exchanged worried glances and stood up from the table, walking towards the source of Severus' voice. "What is the matter?"
"Potter is unconscious in the hospital wing." Snape's panic was evident in his voice
"Did he fall playing Quidditch?" Tonks joked; it was also everyone else's immediate assumption.
"He was banned by Profess…" Dumbledore began.
"Do not dare to address that woman as a professor in my presence," Snape growled, "That witch happens to be the cause of Potter's hospitalization."
"WHAT!" Sirius roared.
"Calm down, Sirius," Lupin muttered distractedly, "Kindly explain how, Severus?"
"I believe you are all familiar with the Cruciatus curse."
"WHAT!" Lupin roared.
Tonks' jaw dropped. Moody's eye twitched and Kingsley stared avidly at the blank portrait.
"I'll kill 'er." Sirius mumbled.

Wow, that was fun. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Review please. I plan on updating within a few days.
