"Someone has breached the wards," she informed them. Frank's eyes widened. "An attack?" he asked, glancing at the closed and bolted doors leading out to the grounds. Minerva shook her head slightly. "That alarm indicates that it is someone who is allowed access, but not on the list of those keyed into the wards." She turned to the doors and waved her wand. Noiselessly, the bolt lifted up and the doors opened. Minerva frowned, venturing outside cautiously. A short distance from the doors was what looked to be a pile of clothing. She moved forward and bent down next to the pile. It shifted and groaned, and Minerva reared back in surprise. Suddenly, Sirius and Remus were at her side, Frank and Alice not far behind. "Minerva?"

Sirius led her to Snape's room and then left her alone to work, with a house elf on call to fetch anything she needed, before he returned to the others. XXX It was over an hour before Narcissa reappeared, tired and shaking slightly, but not giving off the defeated air of having lost a patient. The rest had taken seats near the staircase, but they all stood up quickly as the woman entered. Narcissa took a moment to marvel at their anxious expressions – if only Severus knew how much this group cared for him! – before she smiled slightly. "He's out of danger," she informed them. There was a collective sigh of relief. Narcissa descended the last few steps. "He'll be sore for a while yet, but fortunately he should escape permanent damage." "What happened?" Tonks asked.
