Emily levitated Vincent's body to Hogwarts and up to the Hospital Wing. She she laid his body on an empty bed, she called for Poppy. "Poppy! Please come here," said Emily, her voice shaking. She took Vincent's hand and didn't take her eyes off of him while she waited for Poppy to come.

Madam Pomfrey rushed into the room. "Oh, dear, what's happened?" she cried.

"Well, I don't know the extent of the damage, but I know a vampire attacked him. He was choking Vincent whenever I came up. Vincent's also bleeding. I dunno where from." said Emily almost crying.

Madam Pomfrey bent down to check him over. There was some extensive nerve damage in the neck area, he had a broken arm, and a slight head wound. After some further checking, she found that he had obviously landed on something sharp, which had pierced him in the middle of his back. "Oh dear...." she said. "This does not look good, not at all." Using her wand to flip him onto his stomach, she investigated the injury. It was still bleeding. She pressed her wand to the injury and murmured an incantation to stop the bleeding. Then she bent down to examine the damage. After a moment she stood up and looked at Emily seriously. "He's not going to die," she said plainly. "However, this back injury is serious. I'm going to need help from someone to repair the damage or he'll be paralyzed."

Emily frowned, although she was glad that he was going to live. "What can I do to help Poppy?" she said looking down at Vincent.

"Hold on. I'm going to get a potion which will help strengthen him. Then we'll mend his broken arm and patch up that head injury. There's not much we can do for the back injury until a specialist gets here. I have a contact at St. Mungo's. Unless you want to take a letter to the Owlery for me?"

Emily didn't really want to leave Vincent, but she nodded to Poppy. "I'll take it real quick."

Madam Pomfrey quickly wrote up a note on a spare piece of parchment and handed it to Emily. "Here," she said. "Use one of the school owls." She frowned as she looked down at Vincent. "I'll just go get what I need to fix his other injuries. I'll be right back."

Emily nodded. "Okay Poppy." said Emily as her voice cracked. She take the letter as soon as Poppy return, because she didn't want to leave him alone.

Madam Pomfrey rushed back in a moment later with an armload of potions, bandages, and other things. "OK, dear. I'll take good care of him and by the time you get back, everything should be cleaned up, except for the back injury." She set the supplies down and patted Emily on the arm. "He'll be OK, I promise."

Emily smiled a really small smile and nodded. "I'll be back as fast as I can." said Emily walking toward the door and opening it, and running toward the Owlery as fast as she could.

While Emily was gone, Madam Pomfrey quickly went to work on Vincent's injuries. She easily mended his broken arm, then set it in a sling to keep it in place. She stopped his head wound from bleeding and bandaged it up neatly. Then she tried to get him to swallow a potion that would help the choking injuries in his neck. But getting him to swallow it was a problem. She was still struggling with that when Emily came back.

Emily ran back into the Hospital Wing. "The owl is on its way. What else can I help you with Poppy?" said Emily.

Madam Pomfrey looked up at Emily gratefully. "I need to get him to swallow this potion, but he won't keep still. Can you you hold his head up for me?"

Emily nodded. "Sure." Emily walked over to Vincent's bed and sat down close to the top of the bed. She picked his head up carefully like Poppy wanted her to.

Madam Pomfrey brought the flask to Vincent's lips, now that Emily was holding his head up. Carefully she poured the potion down his throat. He coughed slightly at first, but finally she was able to get him to swallow everything in the flask. "There. That should help reduce some of the swelling in his throat and make it easier for him to breathe," she said. "Now if you'll help me turn him over, I can get a better look at that back injury."

Emily nodded and helped Poppy roll Vincent over. When she saw his back, anger started to build in her. She had to go to the States soon and talk with Evan wither she or Vincent liked it or not. There were two things she needed to talk to him about.

Madam Pomfrey brought the potion to Vincent's lips and tipped the flask lightly, allowing the potion to go down his throat. After a few minutes, she had managed to get him to drink the contents of the flask. "There now, that should help his throat to heal. There really isn't too much more I can do until the specialist gets here. I'm sorry, dear." She patted Emily's hand. "I'll be in the other room. Call me if he wakes up or if the specialist gets here."

Emily nodded to Poppy and watched her as she walked out of the room. Emily sank into the chair next to the bed and held Vincent's hand. Tears started to roll down her face, although she knew that he was going to be alright. Emily kissed his hand lightly and sat back in the chair waiting on the specialist to get there.
Several minutes later, but what seemed to be forever to Emily, a man came up saying that he received an owl from Poppy. Emily nodded to him and called for Poppy to return to the room.

Madam Pomfrey rushed back in. "I'm so glad you were able to get here so quickly!" she said. "Thanks for coming. I need you to check on his back... he seems to have fallen on something, and I'm not sure I like the looks of it..."
The man nodded. "OK, let's turn him over." Waving his wand, he gently turned Vincent onto his back, then bent down to take a closer look. Waving his wand over him a few more times, he stared at the injury. Then he gently put his hands over the spot and held it there for a few minutes. Finally, he looked up at Madam Pomfrey and shook his head. "I can fix it, but it's going to take me a little while. And I can't guarantee he won't be paralyzed, at least temporarily." He looked at Emily. "You might not want to be here for this."
