ARTEMIS LUPIN HIT THE GRASSY GROUND WITH THUMP. The air in her lungs were knocked out, stolen for a moment as she rolled over with a disoriented head.
Above, sunlight streamed through a canopy of trees. Wincing, Artemis rose on her elbows.
"Artemis! Help,"Hermione pled,"You're the vest with medicine."
Artemis turned to find a bloodied up Ron with wide eyes. She spun around trying to o find Hermione's bag "Harry, quickly, in her bag, there's a small bottle labeled 'Essence of Dittany.'"Artemis focused on Ron's twitching body, putting pressure on the wound.
"Quickly!"Hermione yelled,"What can I do?"
"Apply pressure the wound, hard, don't let up."
Harry blinked, stumbling dizzily to the bag."Accio Dittany."
A small brown bottle landed in his palm.
"Unstopper it,"Artemis directed before ripping open Ron's shirt, which was now seeping in blood. The flesh of her upper arm is flayed and mangled, as if someone had scooped a portion away.
"His arm --"
"Just do it!"Artemis yelled, and Harry finally handed her the bottle. She sprinkled three drops on Ron's bleeding wound. Greenish smoke billows from it.
"We need to set camp,"Artemis told them,"Let him rest and I can brew a simple healing potion, it will help his pain."
"What happened? I thought we weregoing back to Grimmauld Place,"Harry questioned.
"We were,"Hermione answered,"We were there. But Yaxley had hold of me. I knew we couldn't stay once he'd seen, so when he let go I brought us here. Ron got Splinched. I'm... sorry."
"Don't be stupid,"Artemis softened, not sure what to do with her bloody hands. She took the scraps of Ron's shirt, and wiped her hands best she could.
The smoke sifted and cleared. Ron's wound no longer bled and Artemis relaxed.
"It's all I feel safe doing."
Hermione rose, taking out her wand, and begun to walk in a wide circle, muttering,"Salvio Hexia... Protego Totalum..."
"What're you doing?"Harry asked.
"Protective enchantments,"Hermione replied simply,"I don't fancy another visit like we had on Shaftesbury Avenue, do you? Especially with Ron like this. You can get going on the tent..."
"Tent? Where am I supposed to find --"Harry stopped, glancing down at her bag, then back to Hermione.
"I've been trying to tell you,"Artemis pointed out,"She's been preparing all summer. Hasn't stopped bothering me about it."
"Repello Muggletum... Muffliato..."

Artemis was sat on the floor of tent with a deep purple cloth underneath her and a dark cauldron in front of her crossed legs. She slowly stirred the potion, her eyes trained upon the liquid with great focus as she used her other hand to chuck a mushroom into her mouth.
