Grimm's Tales of Beedle of the Bard

Another Brilliant Plan

"You know, I had a different plan in mind," Ron said.

"Oh shut it, Ron, this will be fun," Ginny reassured.

"I'm not a very convincing person though-"

"You'll be fine, Ron. Do it for me," Hermione said sweetly.

Ron blushed, "All right... just because you asked..."

"Neville, Dean, are you ready?" Ginny asked.

"Yup," replied Dean.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Neville said.

"Close enough... Harry?"

"I'm fine, Ginny."

"Right, Ron you may begin," Ginny signaled.

Ron then ran to Professor Mills room with a panicked look on his face.

"Ron, what's the matter?" Professor Mills asked concerned.

"Harry, he passed out and he won't wake up!" Ron cried.

"Oh dear, take me to him!" Professor Mills said.

"Do you see him?" Hermione asked.

"No, but Dean and Neville are hiding ad they won't come out 'till the signal," Ginny answered.

"Do you think this is right?" Harry questioned.

"What?"

"What we're doing, is this really necessary?"

"Harry, if she did curse the book and purposely gave it to you she could be a potential threat. You have come too far to be put in danger again," Ginny said.

"Right, you're...."

"Harry?"

Harry suddenly fell to the floor with a thud.

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.

The girls quickly dropped to Harry's side. Hermione checked Harry's head for any bumps while Ginny held his hand.

"He's fine," Hermione said.

"Obviously not he just passed out!"

"Ginny, calm down, he probably just-"

"Oh dear!" Professor Mills cried.

She rushed to the girls and to Harry's limp body.

"How long has he been like this? Why didn't you take him to Madam Pomfrey's?

"We er... thought someone used dark magic on him and we thought you could check him?" Ron replied nervously.

"Ron, cut it, Harry is really hurt!" Ginny said.

"I know-"

"No, Ron there's something wrong with Harry," Hermione tried to clarify that this was not apart of the plan.

"What?"

"Well, it seems like he's sleeping peacefully now. I'll take him to the hospital wing," Professor Mills said as she used a spell to lift Harry. "Don't get into trouble kids."

"Well that was a complete fail and waste of time...."Ginny murmured.

"Wait, Harry actually fainted?"

"Yes, Ron, that's what I was trying to tell you," Hermione said.

"But, wasn't that apart of the plan?"

"Forget the plan!" Ginny snapped.

"Come, on, it's lunch... We need to cool off," Hermione urged.

Ginny, Ron, and Hermione headed toward the Great Hall and Ginny felt like she was forgetting something.

"Hey... when do you think she's going to give the signal?" Dean asked Neville.

Neville shrugged as they continued to wait for a signal that would never come.
