Willow

P.25

Willow sits on Draco's bed, her eyes closed as she starts chanting in Latin "Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est. Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est. Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est." she repeats. "Wills! Willow, you need to stop!" Draco exclaims, seeing blood beginning to drip from her nose. "Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est. Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est." Willow continues. "Willow! Stop!" Blaise tells her. "Stop it, Willow. You're going too far!" Theo adds. More blood drips from Willow's nose before she passes out "Willow!" the three boys exclaim, Draco catching her as she falls to the side. "We need to get her to the Hospital Wing." Theo says, picking Willow up. Walking out of the common room, the three boys bump into Severus "Boys, what happened?" he asks, seeing his Goddaughter passed out with blood dripping from her nose. "She went to far on a spell, we couldn't snap her out of it." Blaise explains. Severus takes Willow and carries her to the Hospital Wing with the boys following close behind "Poppy!" the Potions Master calls. "Oh dear, what happened to her?" Madam Pomfrey asks, immediately motioning for Severus to put Willow on a bed. "She was doing a spell but went too far, it was a Nature spell." Theo tells the medi witch.

Madam Pomfrey uses her wand to do a diagnostics spell on Willow "She's drained her magical core. She needs lots of rest, I'm going to go get her a rejuvenating potion." she tells them, walking off to her office. "I'm going to go and Floo Kol and Davina, you stay here with Willow." Severus tells the boys, walking out after telling Madam Pomfrey that the boys are to stay with Willow. Madam Pomfrey walks over and gently pours the potion into Willow's mouth, Willow drinking it slowly "Is she going to be okay?" Theo asks. "She'll be fine, she just needs sleep and rest." Madam Pomfrey reassures the three boys, making them nod as they sit by Willow's bed. Draco holds Willow's hand and strokes patterns onto the back of it with his thumb, Blaise plaiting parts of Willow's hair as Theo reads aloud to her.

As night falls, Kol and Davina come rushing into the Hospital wing with Severus close behind them "Uncle Kol, Aunt Davina!" the three boys say, jumping up. "Severus told us what happened." Davina tells them, giving each of them a hug. "Madam Pomfrey gave her a rejuvenating potion and said she needs rest." Blaise responds. Kol nods and sits on the edge of Willow's bed, putting his fingers either side of her head as he closes his eyes "Do you remember the spell she was trying to do?" Davina asks the boys. "Proiectura animae, familia loqui opus est." Theo responds. "Why was she trying to get in contact with us?" Davina asks. The boys eyes widen, remembering what is happening "Someone is trying to steal the stone, Harry, Hermione and Ron are going after them!" Draco explains. Davina looks at Severus, who nods and rushes out the Hospital Wing "Severus is going to get help, for now you three need some sleep." she tells the boys. "But-" Blaise starts. "No buts, come on." Davina cuts him off, motioning to the three beds nearby. Grumbling, the boys go over to the beds and strip to just their shirts and trousers "We'll wake you if Willow wakes up before you." Davina tells them.

After a few minutes, the boys are asleep and Kol moves away from Willow "I put up a few mental shields to help her core recover quicker." he tells Davina, sitting next to her. Davina nods and kisses him gently "Turns out someone is trying to steal the stone, she was trying to get in contact with one of us so we could get help. Harry, Ron and Hermione went to try and stop whoever it is themselves, Severus has gone to help." Davina explains. Kol sighs and nods, kissing Davina's head "We'll have to find a way for her to contact us easier than her doing that spell, it's advanced magic that even Freya struggles with sometimes." he tells her. "We'll work something out." Davina nods. Just then, Severus walks in with Dumbledore, Hermione and a passed out Harry and Ron "Professor Snape told me what happened. Is Willow going to be okay?" Hermione asks. "She's going to be fine Hermione, she just needs some rest." Davina assures, making Hermione nod. "For now, I suggest you get some rest yourself Miss Granger." Dumbledore tells her. Hermion nods and settles into the bed next to Willow's, Ron opposite her with Harry next to Ron.
