Filch wakes Dumbledore in the middle of the night in a panic.
"What is it, Mr. Filch?" he puts on his glasses in concern.
"A student." He says, panicked. "I found 'er in the east corridor, unconscious." They rush to the infirmary.
Madam Pomfrey rushes to them as they enter. "I tried my best, but she needs to be taken to the hospital. There isn't much I can do for her here." She says, concerned.
Dumbledore peeks around Madam Pomfrey's shoulder, still unaware of who the student is.
You lay on the bed, disheveled and unconscious, blood staining your dress.
"We must transfer her at once." Dumbledore commands. "Time is of the essence."

Linden and Nadine search for you in the morning. You usually eat breakfast with them before class, but you're nowhere to be found. They ask around if anyone has seen you, but to no avail, no one has.
"She's probably just hungover from last night." Nadine says, but a sinking feeling digs at Linden.
"I think we should check the infirmary before class, just to be sure." Linden says.
They walk into the infirmary.
"See, she's not here." Nadine says, slightly turning to walk out. They look over at Madam Pomfrey who is handing Deedee some ointment.
"Wait." Linden says. "Madam Pomfrey, did [y/n] pass through here today?" he asks.
Madam Pomfrey looks up, a hardened look on her face. She knows she has to be the deliverer of bad news. She tells them that you were transferred to the hospital last night and that Mr. Filch found you unconscious in the corridor. Deedee is equally surprised to hear this as the twins. Nadine starts to badger Madam Pomfrey with questions, but she doesn't know much about what happened either. The three of them make their way to their classes, confused, shocked, and worried. What happened? The question eats at them.
Severus theatrically speeds through the classroom door for his Advanced Potions class. The room is quiet today, unlike most days when students are usually rowdy before the start of class. It's odd, but nothing too out of the ordinary.
"Books to page 384." He says, enunciating every word in his deep voice. The students open their books.
Severus scans the room and notices you're missing.
"Deirdre, where is your insufferable American desk-mate?" Snape asks, a slight annoyance in his voice.
"Professor." Her tone is serious as her eyes grow wide. "You haven't heard?" she says, concerned.
"Heard what?" Snape's expression hardens.
"[y/n] was taken to the St. Mungo's last night. She...was found unconscious." Deedee's voice cracks as her eyes water.
"How? What happened?" Snape demands.
Deedee lets out a sob. The class focuses on her. "I don't know... I just heard she was badly hurt."
Snape's heart drops as the color from his face drains. So many thoughts run through his head as he tries to process what he just heard.
"Help each other review for the chapter 6 quiz." He says as he rushes back out the door. The students are left in shock that Snape left them alone.
