Gladdy gasped when she saw the tattered body of a mere 10 year old. Tattered wasn't a good enough word. Bruises were everywhere, bones were sticking out and dried blood was stuck to every visible part of her body. The head St. Mugundos nurse came rushing by.
"Gladdy set her up in the ICU room and make several potions. Severus Snape should be waiting to help you." Gladdy ran as fast as she could up to the room. When she arrived she couldn't help but notice the look on Severus' face, almost as if he felt some sort of emotion. In a few seconds the girl was rushed in, and was almost immediately screaming in pain as people tried to give her shots or mend the broken body. Gladdy and Severus began furiously brewing Sleeping Droughts and Pain killers. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the broken girl. He had found her on the side of the road, obviously tossed out like someone would do with their garbage. At first it appeared she had been beaten by a gang, but then when Severous tried to reach out for her she curled up into a ball and screaming 'Don't touch me, please' and 'I don't want any more pain Mr. Malfoy I will be good.' Lost in his thoughts Severus hadn't noticed that his Sleeping Drought was finished. He handed it off to someone, and immediately left the room for fear he might be sick. All he wanted to do was leave and forget this happened, but he couldn't. He felt like it was his duty to stay here day and night until she was better, and returned to a proper home.

It has been 4 hours since Severus arrived. The hospital was rushing around trying to calm the poor girl down. Her haunting screams of pain and fright left holes in his heart, as well as the rest of the hospital. His potion brewing companion, Gladdy, was inside the room trying to talk to the girl the hospital wanted any information they could get.
"She wants to see you," Gladdy said. Severus looked up and noticed her eyes were puffy, she had been crying. He nodded curtly and walked in. They had mended her broken bones and cleaned up the blood, but you could still see all of the pain in her eyes. When Severous walked closer to her bed and saw the unmistakable electric blue eyes. This was the missing grand-daughter of Albus Percival Wilfric Brain Dumbledore. She had gone missing along with her mother several years ago, captured by Death Eaters. It tore Dumbledore apart to see his dear daughter get taken away with just a baby. Severus tried his best to quickly leave the room, but not quick enough before he heard her speak. "It's me, tell him." She had a faint voice and sounded so fragile. He sent a patronus to Dumbledore, but not knowing what to say he simply said emergency at St. Mugundos. How could one tell the news that Dumbledore's precious grand-daughter had been found? Of course he would be happy, but his daughter? Where was his daughter?
