Being Minnie's Daughter

NEW Chapter 13

James POV

We all stop when Marlene hits the ground convulsing. I look up at Snivellus and his eyes are wide. He lowers his wand to his side and looks at the other Slytherins. "What spell was that?" I hear Regulus say to Snape.

"I don't know."

Remus and Sirius are instantly by Marlene's side. I rush over to Mackenzie and grab her arm. "Come on," I say fast. "Let's go."

"Who... What..." She starts to say, looking at me confused.

"I don't know."

"You'll pay for that Snivellus!" I hear Sirius shout and I groan. I turn around and grab Sirius' arm.

"Not now Sirius," I hiss, watching as the Slytherins are already ushering Snivellus away. "We need to get Marlene to the hospital wing."
We turn around to see Remus already sprinting towards the hospital wing with Marlene levitated in front of him.

Mackenzie appears next to me and tugs on both of our arms. "Let's go."

Sirius then moves forward and shrugs out of our holds. We follow after Remus a bit more slowly since he's basically sprinting.

We enter the infirmary just as Remus is told to go get the headmaster. He walks towards us, but Sirius grabs his arm before he can leave the room. "I'll go."

Remus nods slowly. "Okay. The password should be licorice snaps."

Sirius nods back and sprints out of the infirmary.

Madam Pomfrey walks over and shoos us out. "No visitors," she snaps. "I don't know what we are dealing with."

"It was a spell," Mackenzie says quietly as we back away. "It was golden, and it seemed to be said wrong."

Madam Pomfrey nods and shuts the door firmly.

I turn and walk away.

"Where are you going?" Mackenzie shouts.

I turn around and see her standing there with her arms crossed glaring at me. "She's your teammate and you're just leaving her hurt in there."
"Poppy won't be letting us in there anytime soon," I shrug, "I want some food and a shower."

Remus nods and jogs over to my side. "He's right, we might as well go get some lunch while we wait."

She sighs and stomps over to us. "Fine but as soon as we're done, I'm coming back here."

"Okay."

I lead the way up to the dorms and disappear into the bathroom first while Remus and Mack mutter to each other in the common room. When I get out, I wait on the couch for like 5 minutes before Remus joins me.

"Do you think she will be okay?" I ask softly, keeping my voice low so our noisy housemates don't overhear us.

"She'll be fine." Remus says positively. "Between all the professors here, someone will be able to figure out what happened and how to heal her. Outwardly she didn't seem too injured, just unconscious."

I nod, "But if she has internal damage..."

"Well then she might have to go to St. Mungo's."

"She's being sent to St. Mungo's?" a girl's voice says loudly.

I look up and see Mackenzie standing over me.

"Good lord woman," I say standing up and pulling her out the portrait hole after me. "Lower your voice before the rumors start flying."
