Chapter 3: Claiming back

Once Hermione Granger was out of the Room of Requirement she called for a house elf.

"Yes Miss, you called Tinky" piped the energetic elfess that was most pleased to be called to help someone.

"Tinky I need you to help me tonight getting patients back to the room of requirement who need treatment. Place a disillusion spell on us and get me out to the shrieking shack we have to save the Headmaster Professor Snape," Hermione advised as she reached out to grasp the elf's hand so it could pop her where she was needed.

Using elf magic Tinky popped Hermione down to the shack were she was able to watch the scene of Nagini bite Professor Snape. The young curly haired witch quickly retrieved the dittany paste out of the St John's Trauma backpack along with two vials of anti venom along with blood replenishing potions that she held entwined in her fingers. Hidden from view the two silent watcher observed Professor Snape give his tears to Harry and the trio including the Hermione of that time head out of the shack. It was strange seeing herself for the second time due to a time turner.

Hermione quickly poured one vial of anti venom on Professor Snape's neck at the site of the bite before opening his mouth to pour the potion vials down his throat. Tinky took the dittany paste off the witch and started to apply it to the dour man's open neck wound. Using the field dressings the wounds were packed before they placed the first medical portkey onto Professor Snape and activated it so that he was taken to Poppy Pomfrey in her Room of Requirement Trauma Ward.

"Right Tinky we need to get to the Astronomy tower we have to rescue Tonks and Lupin" advised Hermione. With that the disillusioned elf and witch continued to provide medical aid and where necessary the hexes to disarm and bind death eaters. The Lupin couple was protected from killing curses with the additional shield charms and the disarming of some of their attackers. Both were seriously injured and after asking Tinky to take the disillusionment charm off the pair of them the duo quickly applied a swift triage treatment to the Lupin couple before they were very quickly portkeyed off to Poppy Pomfrey. The Mediwitch would be able to deal with Remus' silver wound problem easily.

After the tower top rescue with the disillusionment charm back on, Hermione and Tinky started running down the floors picking up anyone they could to get them to medical help. On each floor they would sweep as many patients together before putting a portkey on the linked patients to send them onwards to medical assistance.

As they were racing down a corridor on the 2nd Floor Hermione noticed that it was Pansy Parkinson who was injured with a couple of younger students that she appeared to be protecting.

"Tinky lift the disillusionment now we have to treat these students," the Gryffindor princess commanded.

On their appearance the injured Slytherin witch raised her wand and stood in front of the younger students.

"Pax I am here to provide medical help to you all," Hermione quickly explained to her counter parts. With a quick triage of the patients Hermione and Tinky gathered all the students together.

"Here this is a medical portkey it will take you to Madam Pomfrey", Hermione advised the older girl. " Make sure you have got all of them holding onto you".

"Ready?" she queried looking to see if there was anyone else in the corridor they could add to this transportation.

"Yes and thank you Granger I will be in your debt," advised the Slytherin Princess as she grasped all the students present. They should never have left the secure location they were in and she had followed them out to get them back to safety.

"No debt just remember to live for me ok!" advised the tussled haired witch as she set the portkey off and the group of injured students disappeared before her eyes.

"Right Tinky, I will need your help again. Put the disillusion back on us and we need to go and save Fred from a wall", checking her timer on her watch. "Right we have to get up to the corridor near the great hall near the front entrance on the potions corridor side behind a suit of armour please."

With her wand out Hermione was firing hexes and spells at the death eaters. She raised a shield up so she could protect Fred.

Yes there was the hex from Rookwood that struck the wall. Hermione pushed Fred forward before turning to see that Tinky was in danger as the elf came into view. She leapt dropping the packs from her back and covered the elf shielding Tinky with her body as the wall collapsed onto them. Hermione blacked out in the pain.
