When Jess and Draco left the Great Hall after the feast, they went up to the second floor corridor to take a different route to the common room. When they were walking near Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, Jess slipped in a puddle of water.

"Jess! Are you alright?" Draco asked her when he heard her head crack as it hit the stone floor.

"I don't know... Am I?" Jess moaned "Draco? Where are we?"

"Come on, I need to get you to Madam Pomfrey." Draco gently picked Jess up, trying to keep her head steady as he walked down to the infirmary. He was panicking, cursing himself for not watching Jess more carefully.


"Madam Pomfery!" Draco exclaimed as he carried Jess into the Infirmary.

"Oh, my! Set her on the bed there. What happened?"

"She slipped in a puddle near Moaning Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor."

"She hit her head?"

"Yes. I heard it quite clearly."

From the bed Jess said "Draco? Where's my brother?" She looked at Draco without really seeing him.

"Would you like me to get him?" Draco asked the first year softly as Madam Pomfrey watched, comparing them to two other students she had decades ago.

"No." She winced "I don't want to make him worry." She tried to turn her head. "Why is it so dark?"

"Don't move, you might have hurt your head pretty badly." Draco ordered her as Madam Pomfrey cast a few diagnostic spells.

She pulled him aside "Will you stay with her while I get Professor Noble and her brother?" Draco nodded as she handed him a few vials of different potions. "Give her these one at a time, and have her drink a full goblet of water after they are finished."

Draco turned back to Jess, vials in hand as Madam Pomfrey bustled off to find Donna and Harry.


"Professor Noble?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she entered Donna's study.

"Yes, Poppy?" Donna was sitting having tea with Harry, Hermione and Ron.

"I need you and Mr. Potter to come with me to the Infirmary."

While Harry, Donna, and Madam Pomfrey were walking to the Infirmary, the twins ran up to Donna and said together "Professor! Both Jess and Draco are missing, and there is a note on the second floor corridor talking about the Chamber of Secrets being opened again!"

"Jess had a fall, and Draco is watching her. You can join us if you are quiet." Madam Pomfrey said sternly to the twins.

Donna looked at the boys and said "We will talk after we see how Jess is."


Draco was sitting next to Jess when the group finally arrived "She's asleep." Draco said to Madam Pomfrey, looking at her before turning to Harry and Donna "I should have been able to catch her. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Harry shrugged, understanding.

"Will she be alright?" Donna asked Madam Pomfrey as she cast a few more diagnostic and healing spells.

"In time, she will make a full recovery." When she saw Donna's questioning look, she explained. "When Miss Potter fell, she hit her head, hard. When she wakes, I will have to see how she is before allowing you to have her go back to her normal classes."

"I'll help tutor her." Draco said unexpectedly as he watched the two adults. When they turned to look at him he sighed. "If I hadn't been looking for an alternate route to the Common Room, we wouldn't have been in the second floor corridor, and Jess wouldn't have slipped in that puddle." He paused then looked directly at Madam Pomfrey. "Why did she ask about it being dark?"

This time the Matron sighed "I was hoping to wait until she was awake to say this. Miss Potter might have temporarily lost some of her sight from her fall. Mr. Malfoy, when she fell... did she hit the back of her head squarely on the floor?"

"Yes."

"Then I hope that the injury is minor."

"You Hope?" Harry yelled at the Matron "My sister is quite possibly blind or partially blind and all you can do is hope that she will be fine?"

"Yes! Magic can't solve everything, Mr. Potter." Madam Pomfrey breathed in before continuing "If you, Mr. Malfoy, and the two Mister Weasleys would like to stay here tonight, you may with your head of house's permission."

Donna nodded. "I can't stay with you, but I must see what the young Weasley twins were saying as we were coming to see Jess."


"Professor Noble!" Headmistress McGonagall exclaimed when Donna reached the second floor corridor near the girl's lavatory. "I sent the Weasley twins to find you, what happened?"

"I had to take Mr. Potter to see his sister in the infirmary. Apparently she fell in a puddle of water near here and was taken to the infirmary by Mr. Malfoy."

"Oh, what do you make of this?" the Headmistress pointed to the petrified cat hanging by its tail and the words written in red on the wall 'THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE.'

"My question, Minerva, is why is it open again?" Professor Flitwick squeaked.

"Again?" Donna was intrigued by the fact that this had happened before.

"Last time it happened over fifty years ago. A student died, and the school almost closed." the Headmistress elaborated.

"Ah." Donna looked at the corridor and said "Minerva, I can see three options. We have my brothers come and take a look, or we can bring in the annoyance that is the Ravenclaw Heir Sherlock Holmes or his elder brother Mycroft. Or, we can pray that it doesn't happen again. What do we do, Headmistress?"

"We do both options one and two. You can contact your brothers while I arrange for both William and Mycroft to come assist them."
