I faintly smiled to myself while sitting beside Ron, using my fingers to brush out his hair. I slowly turned to Hermione who was seated right next to me.

"You can comfort him, Hermione". I whispered to her.

"We haven't talked for weeks... I don't think he-".

"He would". I spoke softly while pulling her hand over onto his arm then quickly looked over at Harry seeing him stand there crossing his arms and smiling towards us. The doors slowly opened to see McGongall, Snape, Dumbledore, and Slughorn walking into the Hospital wing. Slughorn slowly walked over and took a seat on a bench stunned still by what happend.

"Quick thinking on your part". Dumbledore whispered to me making me faintly smile.

"You must be very proud of your students, Horace". Dumbledore spoke softly while turning to look at Slughorn.

"Hmm? Oh right yes very proud". Slughorn stuttered.

"We all agree their actions were heroic, but why were they necessary". McGongall spoke softly. I kept my focus on Ron, not caring why he got hurt, just wanting him to get better.

"Why indeed". Dumbledore spoke softly while walking over to Slughorn. Dumbledore grabbed the mead bottle from the empty side of the bench next to Slughorn.

"This appears to be a gift, Horace...Do you remember who gave you this bottle by chance"? Dumbledore asked while slowly leaning his face to the bottle rim to smell it.

"It has subtle hints of cherry, licorice, and...poison". Dumbledore whispered, making me draw my focus to him.

"I was intending to give it as a gift". Slughorn spoke softly.

"To whom I might ask"? Dumbledore spoke softly while turning to him.

"You, headmaster". Slughorn spoke softly drawing the room's attention to him. The doors burst open to see Lavender run in.

"Where is he? Where's my Won-Won"! Lavender spoke out in distress while walking over to the bed to see all of us around him. I looked over at Lavender and back at Ron.

"Why is she here"? Lavender whispered while glaring at Hermione.

"I might ask you the same question". Hermione spoke softly while rising from her seat.

"I happen to be his girlfriend"! Lavender spoke out.

"Well, I happen to be his-". Hermione paused...

"Friend". She whispered.

"Don't make me laugh, you haven't spoken to him in weeks! I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting". Lavender whispered making me slowly rise beside Hermione.

"He's been poisoned! And for the record, I've always found him interesting"! Hermione spoke out. Ron started to make faint sounds making everyone look at him. I and Hermione quickly sat back down looking over him.

"See! He senses my presence! I'm here Won-Won, I'm here". Lavender whispered while leaning over him.

"Er... Mi... Ion... Mione.. Hermione".. He stuttered softly under his breath making me smile leading Lavender to run out the room crying softly. I turned to see Hermione gently hold onto Ron's hand making me smile. I looked over at Harry having us smile at each other.

"Ah! To be young and feel loves keen sting"! Dumbledore spoke softly with a smile. McGongall looked over at the three of us around Ron and then back at the staff.

"I think Mr.Weasly is well-tended". McGongall whispered with a smile to the staff leaving all of us to watch over him.

It was the next morning and all of us would take shifts... Harry would bring me and Hermione food while we watched over Ron...
