The next day, at the train station, its Bloom, Harry, and Ron's turn to go through the wall.
Hermione went on ahead with Hagrid, and all the rest of the Weasleys went through already - but they crash into the wall with a loud thud instead of passing right through it!
They get a look from the security guard, but he assumes they're kids being kids and will get sorted out on their own.
Ron and Harry try pushing at the column with all their might, and Bloom tries to figure out why they can't get through - but, soon enough, they've missed the train.
Harry suggests they go back and wait at the car - which gives Ron a bad idea.
A few minutes later, they're all in the car and Ron starts it up. Bloom does an invisibility spell after Ron activates the invisibility on the car - she prefers to be safe rather than sorry - and they take off towards the train.
Two hours later, they've made it to Hogwarts - but Ron hits a tree. It's the worst tree possible to hit: the Whomping Willow.
As they try to figure out how to get out of the tree, it starts attacking them - and runs right through Bloom's side when she tries to make a shield to keep the branches back.
She gasps, and Harry grunts and holds his side in sudden agony - but he's fine. Before he can figure out what's wrong, the pain fades as suddenly as it came and he looks over to see Bloom struggling to get her arm free from some branches. Her robes are covered in leaves and twigs, but he can't see if she's hurt or not.
She finally manages to make a shield large enough for all of them and the car, it seems to make the Willow mad that it's lost its prey.
The car seems mad as well - no wonder, they smashed it into a tree and got it beaten up by that same tree.
They get to the castle alright - as far as alright goes when you've just been attacked by a tree - and just get their stuff with the rest of the second years when Filch catches them.
They're taken to see Professor Snape, while they wait for Professor McGonagall and their punishment. Luckily, nobody saw the car - which would make things a whole lot worse for them if somebody had - but they still hit a tree that's been on Hogwarts grounds since before any of them were born.
Bloom says "Professor…I think we've…had some punishment…from that tree already…" She's out of breath, despite them not having walked all that hard from the tree.
She's still standing, while Harry and Ron are sitting on the two chairs, but now they realize she's not as alright as she had them believe. Snape goes wide-eyed when he realizes she's hurt, and Harry immediately moves and makes her sit down before she collapses.
Her black robe is hiding whatever wound she has, but now they see its sticky and soaked with her blood. "I'm fine…heal fast…"
Harry says "You're not fine Bloom, you've gone whiter than a sheet!"
She's also holding the arm that she was trying to get free from the willow's branches at her side - bad sign, she's definitely not ok. Professor McGonagall walks in and sees something is wrong immediately - and between her and Snape, they manage to discover a hole in Bloom's side the size of her fist – while Harry keeps her sitting upright.
They can see straight through to the other side of her robes, but none of her organs were hit - she's incredibly lucky for that.
Ron and Harry gape, and Ron asks "How did you walk all the way to Hogwarts and why didn't you say anything?"
"Faced worse…than a…tree with…anger issues…before." Everyone would say that description of the Whomping Willow is just about accurate - especially since it punched a hole through her side.
Professor McGonagall says "Given Bloom's condition, I'm lowering the punishment severity. Gryffindor will be docked 15 points for each of you, and you two will get detention for hitting the Willow. Bloom won't get detention because she has to go to the Hospital wing - and, given her condition, I think she's already taken enough punishment from the Willow."
Harry says "I'll take her to the Hospital Wing Professor."
Professor McGonagall nods, and says "Afterwards, go straight to the dormitory, you'll find some food there. You did miss the start of the feast after all."
They all nod, and Ron whispers "Sorry I hit the tree guys."
Bloom waves her hand in an 'It's alright' gesture, and Harry nods as he wraps her good arm around his neck and helps her stand – because he could tell she wasn't going to be able to walk on her own.
As they walk down the hallway, Harry asks "Why didn't you say something?"
"Didn't want…to worry…you two…"
"Well, we're worried now!"
Harry's side is starting to hurt again, along with his arm - and he now realizes its Bloom's pain he's feeling, along with her dizziness. "Your blocking me, I can tell."
Bloom blinks, and asks "How?"
"Because you're getting weaker, I can feel your hurting, Bloom. And that your so dizzy you can hardly walk straight."
Bloom takes a breath and the pain in Harry's side and arm starts fading.
"Bloom, no. Stop, just focus on walking."
Bloom lets out her breath, and the pain washes over Harry suddenly. He lets out all his breath at once, he was not expecting that much pain.
Even so, he's pretty sure Bloom's still keeping some of the pain from his - her forehead is creased and covered in sweat.
They get to the Hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey looks shocked speechless to see them so early - or maybe at Bloom's condition, she looks worse than ever. "Set her on the bed, what happened?!"
Harry says "The Whomping Willow happened. It ran her through, and her arm's hurt to."
Madame Pomfrey takes a look at the hole in Bloom's side - unfreezing after a moment because it's the worst wound she's seen on a student in years - then puts a bandage on it. She also gives Bloom something for the pain - which instantly starts working, Harry can tell because his side instantly stop hurting.
He holds Bloom's good hand for a minute while Madame Pomfrey looks at Bloom's arm, and she says "The wound in her lower body should heal in a few months, her arm is broken, nearly shattered actually - I'll heal that overnight, but it won't be fun - and all her cuts and bruises should be gone by tomorrow. Bloom isn't kidding when she says she heals fast, Professor Dumbledore told me about her special talents - her magic includes healing powers, so she heals at a much faster rate than most wizards and witches. Given that, her cuts and bruises are no problem, and her arm should be just a little sore tomorrow - her wound in her side though, even her powers won't be able to fix that right away. It isn't infected, but it is very large and will require time."
Bloom's out cold, having dropped off as soon as her side stopped hurting.
The injury in her side isn't infected, but its large and won't heal fast.
Harry says "She walked all the way from the Willow to the school without saying anything, I don't know if there's any other injuries."
"I'll check for more, but this one is by far the worst. Now, Bloom will be fine here for the night. How about you go up to the dormitory?"
Harry nods reluctantly, but he has to - he and Ron were told to go.
Madame Pomfrey said she may or may not be able to go to class tomorrow, but Harry's sure she'll be there even if her side is bleeding.
AN: Oops, looks like Bloom's going to have a bit of trouble with the new hole in her side. Good thing she heals quick, it would take most people a lot longer to heal from that - and they wouldn't have been walking, Bloom just kept quiet to make it easier for them to get to the castle.
