Headmistress! Madam Pomfrey? LANA?

[alt_padma]

We need help, please.

In the corridor outside Myrtle's bathroom. Near Transfiguration.

Where the ice is. Was. Is. Over by the ice.

I think -

Just, please, someone. It's happened again.

What on earth?

Patil?

[alt_percy]

I'd get here right away if you can, Sandoval. I understand the Headmistress is on her way. She'll probably have instructions for you and all the Prefects.

[alt_lana]

I'm on my way. Moran, too.

[alt_percy]

Good.

[alt_padma]

It's Stebbins, he's been attacked. And Weasley, too, but she's not petrificated.

Should we move them round the corner? What if the Chamber opens again?

[alt_molly]

Is my daughter hurt? Is she hurt!?

[alt_padma]

Oh, Mrs Weasley.

I don't know, ma'am. She's unconscionable. I mean, unconscious.

Madam Pomfrey's here and she's looking her over. Looks like she hit her head. Maybe she slipped on the ice? But she's not petrified or anything. Her arms were limp. And she's breathing and all.

[alt_luna]

Ginny! Is she all right?

[alt_padma]

I think she fell on the ice.

[alt_padma]

Boy, Marvolo must have been really upset with Stebbins.

[alt_dean]

Now is not the time for Jokes Patil

[alt_padma]

What?

Oh, come on. Didn't you see what he said in his own journal?

But no, you don't seriously think anyone thinks he did it. Do you?

[alt_dean]

No I don't, but lets not give the Hufflepuffs any more reasons to fly off the handle.

[alt_hannah]

You say that as if we're making a silly fuss over nothing! Bobby Stebbins has been petrified! He's lying there, staring up at the ceiling with a look of terror on his face!

[alt_molly]

But Ginny! What about my little girl?

[alt_molly]

Percy! What's going on!?

[alt_percy]

Mum--I don't know. Madam Pomfrey left for the Hospital wing with both Stebbins and Ginny. I would have gone with her, but there--there are a lot of upset students here, and Sandoval needs my help with crowd control. I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything.

[alt_molly]

GO AND FIND OUT RIGHT NOW!

[alt_lana]

Honestly, Weasley. The Head Boy and I can manage this.

Go see to your sister. And get your priorities in order!

[alt_percy]

I was just doing my job as Prefect.

But thank you.

Mum, I'm on my way to the Hospital Wing now.

[alt_dean]

True, and I don't like any more than you do. But Harry couldn't get the look out of anyone, no matter how hard he tried. He is simply not that type of person.

[alt_padma]

Well, look, whether or not Marvolo did it (which he didn't, don't be daft), someone thinks Stebbins made himself an enemy of the heir. Obviously.

Which just shows that it's really important for all you Hufflepuffs to be as loyal as possible.

[alt_ernie]

Of course we're loyal, but we're loyal to each other too, and that means to Bobby!
