... and found her kneeling next to a student off to one side. He hurriedly rushed over, hoping that whoever it was, was all right. Ginny looked up and smiled slightly as her boyfriend knelt next to her. Harry's stomach dropped slightly at seeing Hannah Abbott unconscious on the ground. Ginny swallowed. "I think she'll be all right," she assured him. "I saw her thrown across the room by a stunner, I think, and she hit a wall. Madam Pomfrey should be able to heal her." Harry nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. "Why are people standing in front of the door?" he asked, glancing over at them. It was mostly students – Hermione, Neville, Susan, and Luna – and Professor Flitwick. Ginny looked over as well. "The Death Eaters put up some sort of ward. No one can get out. A few minutes before you showed up, Bellatrix and a group of Death Eaters ran through, yelling 'it's done'. All the Death Eaters here followed them outside, but when we tried to pursue, no one could get out. Best we can figure, the ward only lets people with the Dark Mark through." Harry bit his lip. "Why would the castle let something like that be put up?" he muttered to himself. Ginny frowned. "You think the castle should have been able to stop it?" Harry didn't reply for a moment, as he felt some sort of answer in his bones. If he didn't know any better, he would say the castle was peeved at him. He almost chuckled.

Harry was immediately at her side. "Are you all right?" he asked worriedly. Ginny looked over at her boyfriend and smiled. "I'm fine, Harry. I'm not hurt, just tired." Harry nodded, relieved, and took a moment to look around the room. Poppy was there already, and seemed to be triaging the students. Harry bit his lip, coming up with a plan in his head. He was glad to see Daphne and Blaise still standing, and immediately headed over to them. Daphne was interested in potions, and Blaise was considering a career in Healing. Both would be well suited to helping the mediwitch. Both Slytherins looked relieved to see Harry. "Glad you're all right," Blaise said, trying not to show how worried he had been. Daphne gave Harry a hug, and pulled back, smiling softly. Harry returned the smile. "You too," he answered Blaise. "I need both of you to grab some more students who aren't hurt, and help Madam Pomfrey. It looks like she's going to need it." Both Slytherins nodded and left to find a few more students before reporting to Madam Pomfrey. Harry frowned. He thought he heard banging, and went over to join those crowded around the door. "It sounds like people are ...
