Zander Apparated to the edge of Hogwarts grounds, then walked as quickly as he could to the castle and up the stairs to the Hospital Wing. He knew it probably would have been easier to take Skye to St. Mungo's, but after the battle last night, the people at St. Mungo's might be alerted to the possiblity of injured werewolves seeking treatment. Madam Pomfrey was more accepting and discreet.
As he entered the hospital wing, he laid Skye on one of the beds, then called out for Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey rushed into the room at the sound of Zander's voice. She took one look at Skye's pale, trembling form, and the huge open wound in her shoulder and gasped. "My goodness... what happened to her?"

Skye let out a soft moan. She was having a terrible dream... she was sitting in front of a large tree by the lake, crying heavily. Karen Lewis had been picking on her again, and she'd run out of the castle to escape the mean girl and her friends. The sun had just finished setting, and the sky was getting very dark. After a few minutes, her tears started to abate and she looked up and noticed that the full moon had just risen. It seemed bigger and brighter than usual that night, and it cast a white beam of light on her, almost like a spotlight. She was just thinking how pretty it was, when suddenly, she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her. She turned around, and before she even had time to think, something leaped at her. She only had time to spot the sharp white teeth before the creature was on top of her. She let out a piercing scream as she hit the ground. Covering her face with her hands, she was powerless to move as the sharp teeth pierced her flesh...
Lying on the little bed in the Hospital wing, she began to scream and thrash around violently.

Zander watched Skye worriedly. "What... what's happening? Why is she doing that? She, uh... she was attacked... by a werewolf last night. I think she lost a lot of blood..."

Madam Pomfrey nodded. "She was attacked by a werewolf, you say? Oh, dear... it does seem like she was bitten pretty badly... but I think I can help her. But right now... this thrashing... she's delirious. I'm going to have to put her in a body-binding spell to keep her still so I can take care of her. A stunning spell would work better, but in the condition she's in, it might just kill her."

"OK," Zander said worriedly. "Um... just... do what you have to do. I'm going to be right back, OK? She.. she's got a lot of friends and they should be here with her." He turned and hurried out of the building and headed back to Diagon Alley. He couldn't just sit there and watch, waiting for the others to show up. He ran to the edge of the school grounds and Apparated back to Diagon Alley.

Madam Pomfrey worked frantically too stabilize the injured girl. First she put her into a body-binding charm to keep her still. Then she gave her a potion to lower her fever, which had to be administered intravenously. Almost immediately, she became calmer, and Madam Pomfrey was able to remove the body-binding spell. Then she began to treat the deep wound that marred the girl's small shoulder.

Zander walked into the hospital wing with Pearl at his side. He saw Madam Pomfrey still working on Skye. "How is she? Is she going to be OK?" he asked.

"What are you doing to her? " asked Pearl aghast as she saw tubes in her friends arm and the older woman prodding her wound with her wand. it was terrifying seeing her this way, but she wasn't shuddering anymore. Pearl took a stiff step forward toward her friend.

Madam Pomfrey finished cleaning the girl's wound, then covered it with a bandage. "I know it looks frightening, dear," said Madam Pomfrey. "I've just cleaned her wound, and this bandage will keep it protected against infection. The tube in her arm is giving her medicine that's helping her fever to go down. She's reacting very well to the treatment, and I do think she will be fine. The next thing I need to do is give her a blood replenishing potion, which will help make her stronger. Would you like to sit next to her?"

"Go on, Pearl. It's OK. Madam Pomfrey will take good care of Skye. She takes care of Remus whenever he comes back from his transformations covered in scratches and bites. I trust her." He put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and nodded to her. "She really looks much better already. I'm glad you get to see her now, instead of how she was when I first brought her here. I was really worried at first. Now at least she looks like she's comfortable."

Pearl nodded, she felt choked at seeing her friend so hurt. Luckily her attacker was dead, along with most of his kin...the kin that sided with ...
she shook the tears from her eyes and walked stiffly toward the seat to sit by Skye.

After Chloe left him at the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, Remus walked quickly up to the school and to the Hospital Wing. He saw Pearl and Zander already standing close by, watching worriedly as Madam Pomfrey worked on Skye. He walked over and took Pearl's hand shyly. "Don't worry, she'll be OK..." he said.

Chloe walked up to the school along with Karl. Finally they reached the hospital wing, and she noticed that Zander was there, Pearl was sitting beside Skye's bed and Remus beside Pearl. Chloe walked up beside Zander. "Hey," she said quietly. "How's she doing?"

Zander turned to look at Chloe.. "I don't know. She looks better, at least. Earlier, when I first brought her here, she was delirious. Madam Pomfrey was able to stabilize her, anyway, so that's good. But she's so pale and weak..."

"Poppy will make sure Skye gets better, I promise," said Chloe hopefully. "This is the best place to be if you're injured other than St. Mungo's, although, I have to say, I rather Poppy take care of me, just because I know she'll do everything she can and she's gentle. So I trust her."

"That's why I wanted to bring her here. I think she's safer here." Zander looked at Pearl worriedly. "She's taking this pretty hard," he said. "If anything goes wrong... I don't know how she'll take it." He noticed that Skye seemed to be getting a little more color in her face, and he felt hopeful.

Madam Pomfrey finished giving Skye the blood replenishing potion, and stood back. "OK, now all we can do is keep an eye on her. She should regain consciousness soon, but if she doesn't, I'll give her more of this potion. Please let me know if you see a change in her condition. I'll be right in the back. Does anyone else need medical attention?"

Karl stood next to Chloe, staring around the room. This place was strange. It smelled funny and there were all kinds of weird bottles and devices everywhere. Looking over at Skye, he felt very worried. She looked so fragile lying there on the little bed. He didn't know what to say that wouldn't sound stupid, so he stood quietly, trying to take it all in.

Chloe reached over and put a hand on Karl's shoulder. "You can walk on over there to Skye if you want to. I'll walk up to her with you, okay?" Chloe said noticing Karl looked a little worried.
