Immediately after witnessing the charred bodies in the Pensieve, Robards swiftly flicked his wand, and all the students emerged from the magical basin.
"Given the severity of the situation and the unpredictable nature of the curse, I regret to inform you that Miss Ginevra Weasley has been withdrawn from Hogwarts," he began, eliciting gasps from the students. "She has-"
"No," Harry murmured.
"-her parents have come to collect her and take her to-"
"NO!" Harry yelled again. Without waiting for Robards to conclude the session, Harry bolted out of the classroom, with Pansy and Hermione hot on his heels.
"When did she get taken?" Hermione cried out.
"I thought she was safe with Dumbledore!" Pansy stressed.
The journey to Dumbledore's office was a blur of panic and anxiety. Each step felt heavier than the last as they ascended the spiral staircase leading to the Headmaster's office.
"Chocolate Frogs! Albus Dumbledore! Fizzing Whizbees!" Harry shouted desperately, pounding on the door. Hermione wracked her brain, recalling the password from a month ago. "Fudge Files!" she exclaimed.
The door creaked open, revealing the familiar, circular room adorned with enchanted instruments and magical oddities. Dumbledore sat behind his desk, his expression betraying the weight of the recent events.
"Where is she?" Harry yelled.
"There was nothing I could do," Dumbledore stated gravely. "Ginevra was taken by her parents and Aurors to the Janus Thickey Ward, where she will receive the help she needs."
Harry's breath caught in his throat, and the room seemed to spin. The reality of Ginny being taken to a psychiatric ward sank in, and an overwhelming sense of guilt consumed him.
"Why didn't you protect her?" Harry accused, his voice trembling with a mix of sorrow and anger.
Dumbledore's eyes, usually filled with wisdom, showed the weariness of a man burdened by the choices he had to make. "Her magic has become dangerously uncontrollable. The Janus Thickey Ward specializes in magical maladies. It was the only option left to ensure her safety and the safety of others."
Pansy and Hermione exchanged worried glances, their concern for both Ginny and Harry evident. The weight of the situation pressed down on them, leaving the room heavy with unspoken emotions.
"I should've done something. I should've noticed sooner," Harry muttered, a sense of helplessness consuming him.
Hermione, usually the voice of reason, struggled to find words of comfort. Pansy, her usual composure shattered, approached Harry and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"We'll find a way to help her, Harry. We won't let her face this alone," Pansy vowed, her tone determined.
Dumbledore, his gaze fixed on Harry, spoke with a heavy heart. "The Janus Thickey Ward is the best place for her now. It specializes in magical ailments, and they will do everything in their power to help Ginevra."
Hermione wanted to be comforted by his words but she couldn't help but think of Frank and Alice Longbottom who had spent years in the Janus Thickey Ward, their minds forever lost

"I can't believe they took Ginny away," Seamus said, still grappling with disbelief.
"To the Janus Thickey Ward," Neville muttered, his face clouded with brooding thoughts.
Daphne sighed, rising to her feet and capturing everyone's attention.
