During Defense Against the Dark Arts class, its Snape teaching instead of Lupin for today.
This confuses most, and worries Bloom even more - she's sure Snape didn't want Lupin teaching the class since before the term started, and he is the Potions teacher.
If Snape really wanted to, he could have simply made something that would have kept Lupin 'unable to teach' for the rest of the school year.
Snape has them learning about werewolves today, and the difference between them and Animagi.
The difference is that an Animagus makes the choice to turn into an animal - a werewolf has no choice.
Bloom and Hermione know all this, but Snape already yelled at them for pointing out the fact that they're nowhere near learning about nocturnal creatures.
Bloom gets the feeling that this lesson isn't exactly a random pick from the book from Snape - he's got a purpose behind this, but she doesn't know what.
Bloom sees a paper moth float towards Harry, and can immediately guess who it came from. She pins it to her desk and burns it before it can turn back into what she saw Draco drawing.
When she lifts her hand, the only thing there is a small pile of ashes.
Draco saw her take his note, and glowers at her - she sprinkles the remaining bits of ash into her palm for effect, making him stare in shock.
She dusts her hands off like it's nothing, making him glare at her again - she focuses on his hair, making him instantly start patting it to make sure it's not burning.
Snape has them all do two scrolls on Werewolves with a particular emphasis on recognizing them because only Bloom and Hermione knew anything about them.
*Quidditch Field*
During the Quidditch match, there's a terrible storm going on with lightning everywhere. The rain is almost too bad to see through, but the match goes on anyway.
Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are matched against each other, but it's almost impossible to tell who's who in the rain.
Bloom's eyes find Harry though, he's the fastest of the players. He soars up above the rest of the game, looking for the Golden Snitch.
He spots it in a dark cloud, and immediately goes after it.
Once he hits the cloud, he feels something heat up his broom - Bloom said she put a spell to keep him and the broom from getting hit by lightning, this must be it.
He chases the Snitch through cloud after cloud, until he breaks through to a clear patch of sky and its vanished.
As he searches for the Snitch, one of the veils of mist flickers to reveal a great dog. Harry doesn't understand, but he doesn't care either - he's just found the Snitch again!
Harry shreds the mist as he goes after it, but suddenly the rain turns freezing cold and his glasses are icing over.
When he wipes at them, he suddenly feels blood trickling down his face - the rain is turning to needles of ice!
The water on his broom handle is freezing - though, the spell from Bloom is keeping it from freezing through the broom entirely - and Harry can see his own breath.
When Harry looks down, he sees an army of shadowy silhouettes coming onto the pitch: Dementors.
Harry hears a distant whistle, which turns into a woman's screaming.
He tries to focus on Bloom, use their connection to block out the Dementors' effect - but a high-pitched, and very evil sounding cackling mixes in with the screaming, along with the sound of stone collapsing and explosions. The cackling is in three separate, but similar, voices, and it's almost too much to process with the screaming woman's voice.
Suddenly, Harry doesn't hear anything else and blacks out.
He goes one way, his broom goes another - but he doesn't know any of that, or that he is falling through the circling Dementors.
Hermione is supporting an unconscious Bloom, who blacked out even faster than Harry did because she's so much closer to the mass of creatures.
If she could use her powers, maybe she could combat their effect - but, just like on the train, she can't do anything with her fairy powers with so many people nearby.
Suddenly, a figure rises up from the crowd. His voice and eyes are furious, and he raises an open hand to the sky.
There's an explosion louder and stronger than thunder, a flash brighter than lightning, and then Dumbledore uses a spell to catch Harry and keep him from becoming a pancake on the pitch.
*Hospital Wing*
When Harry wakes up, everything is fuzzy and he feels like he's underwater.
So this is how Bloom feels when she wakes up after using too much of her fairy magic.
The only difference is he isn't absolutely starving, Bloom eats nearly a whole feast for herself whenever she drains herself too much.
He hears Ron say "Look a bit peaky, don't they?"
Either Fred or George argue "Peaky? How'd you expect Harry to look? He fell fifty feet!"
The other twin adds "We'll walk you off the Astronomy tower and see how you feel."
Hermione says "As for Bloom…Nobody knows when she's waking up. This is a lot longer than on the train."
Harry opens his eyes, and Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George slowly come into focus.
Hermione asks "Harry! How're you feeling?"
He groans and says "Like I know how Bloom felt when she woke up here after the battle with Quirrell. Except I'm not hungry."
He tries to sit up, then is hit with a wave of dizziness.
He slowly edges himself up his pillow, and sees a nurse removing umbrella spokes from the neck of a Hufflepuff girl.
Harry winces, then looks over and sees Bloom lying unconscious in the bed next to his. Fred says "Gave us a right good scare there mate."
Harry asks "What happened? And why is Bloom unconscious?" She's literally the toughest girl he knows, the toughest person he knows, she'd already be on her feet by now.
Ron says "You fell off your broom. As for Bloom, a whole pack of Dementors came right up to the stands - and we were all in front to get a good view of you grabbing the Snitch. With all the people around, there was nothing Bloom could try to do to fight off their influence - and with all of them, she didn't stand a chance."
Bloom twitches her hand in her sleep, a sign that she's at least alive.
Harry asks "How'd the game go? Who won?"
All four stare at him, and Hermione says "When the Dementors came onto the field, the match was called a tie and ended - Dumbledore's furious. The Dementors aren't supposed to come onto the grounds, and all of them made more than a few people feel like they were going to pass out as well. After he saved you, he sent them straight off."
Harry nods grimly, looking at Bloom's pale form.
It's impossible to tell when she's going to wake, but he sees all four of them share a look.
Ron swallows and says "Also, Harry, there's something else. Your Nimbus, when it blew away? It sort of landed in the Whomping Willow, and well…" Harry goes cold when Ron brings out a piece of cloth and unwraps it to reveal a mess of splinters and twigs.
Suddenly, Bloom groans and puts a hand to her head. "Who lets the ghosts in?"
Hermione immediately moves over and gives Bloom a hug the crushes all the air out of her chest. "Bloom! You've been out since the game!"
"Feel like I drained myself, except I'm not hungry enough to eat a full feast. Where's Harry?!" She suddenly realizes he's not beside her bed, and Fred and George smirk and step aside to reveal him.
Bloom's too tired to snap an answer about their smirks, so she just sighs and tries to sit up.
She immediately starts toppling over, so Hermione catches her and keeps her on the pillow.
Ron and Hermione take out massive bars of chocolate and give one to Bloom and the other to Harry.
Bloom devours hers, then makes two boxes of chocolates appear and floats one over to Harry while he's eating.
Luckily, nobody saw that, but she doesn't care if anyone sees her making a box of candy to eat at the moment.
She looks over at Harry again, and nearly chokes on a chocolate when she sees his broom.
Unfortunately, she can't fix it - the whole school knows it's been smashed, so she can't fix it in secret and he suddenly have it again.
AN: Hey, I know I haven't updated in a while - compared to how much I've been updating for this story - but I've had school stuff up to my neck. Also, fixing the formatting mistake with both stories of mine - so now it'll be easier to read. Starting with this chapter, going to fix all the other chapters as well - sorry, only my second story and the formatting solution was only recently told to me. Won't delete either of my stories, but will update the chapters. it's starting with this chapter, but this story should take less time than 'Bloom in Asgard' will. As for this story, Bloom still couldn't do anything because of the mass of people in the area - the entire school would have known about her in less than an hour, half the school was out there. And, she really can't fix his broom with the whole school knowing it's been broken - it would raise too many questions about how it got fixed.
