"You're panicking! Quick, what's five times five? Focus on the question, not the panic!"
twenty one. I think I am having a heart attack
If you are having a heart attack, we need to get you to the hospital immediately! Don't worry, I will help you get there. Do you have any medical conditions that might be causing this? Are you taking any medication?
I...uh... nevermind. We can't go to the hospital. People will find out we are here at night. I will deal with it
You can't "deal with it" on your own. If you are having a serious medical condition, it needs to be treated by a doctor. Please, for your own safety, we need to go to the hospital. Can you not see that going to the hospital is the best choice?
YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING ME! I CANNOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE IF THEY TREAT ME THEY WILL FIND OUT ABOUT MY SECRET CANCEER AND THEN SLYTHERIN WILL FIND OUT ANbd EVERYTHING WILL FALL APART.
So, if you don't go to the hospital, your condition will only get worse. And that means that you will eventually die. Is that really what you want? To die because of a secret? Hermione looks at WakaCzar with concern in her eyes We need to help you, whatever it takes. What is your secret? What is the cost to your health compared to the cost of revealing it?
......, ok. I have been cursed by Draco Malfoy and everything was fine until recently and now my heart is slowly failing. Any treatment will get rid of the curse and ruin my chances with...well, with someone
That's awful! What a horrible curse from Draco Malfoy. But remember, we are here for you. We will figure something out together. How much time do we have left before this curse completely destroys your heart? Does anyone else know about this?
No they don't. There's barely any time. and no we can't reveal him because he will become more powerful. Look I have to go deeper into the forest, far enough that no one will find me but near enough that I can hear them if they come.
All right, we need to find a solution quickly. But we have to find somewhere safe first. The Forbidden Forest is dangerous and full of unpredictable magical creatures. I'm not letting you go in there alone. You won't object if I cast a protective charm around you, right? Hermione casts Protego Diabolica, a blue protective shield around herself and WakaCzar
walks deeper into the forbidden forest You coming
Of course, silly! Why would I ever leave you alone in the dark forest? Besides, this protection spell will keep us both safe. Come on, let's go.
Soon enough, a cabin comes into view.
Look! A cabin. Maybe it belongs to one of the centaurs or another magical creature. We should try to get inside. Let's hope there's something inside that can help us. Hermione walks towards the cabin
walks in without knocking
"We need your help. The quicker, the better." They look around the cabin for anything that might help WakaCzar
HELP!!! HELP!! SOMEONE!!!! ANYONE!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!
Hermione and WakaCzar begin yelling for help, hoping that someone will hear them
HELP!!! I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE!!!! SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!!! PLEASE!!! As the panic continues to set in, I start to choke HELP!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!
WakaCzar! Focus on me, okay? You're going to be alright. Just breathe. I'm right here. You're not alone in this. Hermione holds WakaCzar's hand tightly and looks deeply into their eyes. She begins breathing slowly and steadily, trying to help WakaCzar calm down
Please.... Help..... Me.......
Don't lose hope, WakaCzar. Someone has to be able to hear us. We just have to keep yelling until someone comes. Hermione shouts as loud as she can WE NEED HELP! HELP US! She keeps yelling, determined to save WakaCzar's life
Someon has tto bee hearriung usss.... Heeelp....meee..... Falls unconscious
WakaCzar! Wake up! Come on, wake up! Hermione shakes WakaCzar and tries to wake them up. Tears stream down her cheeks as she frantically looks around the cabin for something to save WakaCzar's life
A snake-like hiss fills the air and Hermione notices a snake woman standing over us with long red hair. She gently picks us up and disappears in the treetops HELP!!!! SAVE ME FROM THIS CURSED BEAST!!!!
Oh my God! That snake woman! She has you, WakaCzar. I won't let her hurt you. Hermione casts Protego Diabolica around herself and charges towards the snake woman. She begins casting spells rapidly, trying to defeat the snake woman and rescue WakaCzar
sssseems like iimmm...mmmbeee...baaacckkk...h-hommmmeeee..
No! You can't die on me, WakaCzar. I won't let you leave me like that. I'm going to find you no matter what it takes. Hermione continues to cast spells, fighting the snake woman with everything she has. She won't let WakaCzar die. She just won't.
Hermione casts a binding spell on the snake woman, rendering her powerless. She rushes to WakaCzar's side and examines their injuries Hermione takes out a healing potion from her bag and begins tending to WakaCzar's wounds. She mutters under her breath, "I'm so glad I packed this."
Thanks. Ouch. That stings. God I feel weak. You should have seen me, I used to be good at martial arts. It seems those days are far behind me now. Could you help me get home?
Absolutely, WakaCzar. I'll make sure you get back home safe and sound. Hermione helps WakaCzar stand up and supports his weight as they walk slowly towards Hogwarts. Her mind races with possibilities of how she can help WakaCzar regain his strength
Hermione helps WakaCzar sit on the sofa, making sure he is comfortable and then starts searching through her bag for something that can help WakaCzar regain his strength Ah ha! I knew I had something that could help. Hermione pulls out a vial of her homemade strength potion
Hermione hands WakaCzar the vial and watches eagerly as he drinks it. Soon enough, color returns to WakaCzar's cheeks, their energy seems to return, and their strength looks like it's coming back. Hermione smiles with relief
You are very welcome dear. So whatchu reading?
I'm reading "Advanced Potion-Making" by Libatius Borage. It's one of my favorite books. It really helps me when I'm brewing complicated potions.
looks at page that is quite the read for an eleven year old
Well, I'm not your average eleven-year-old, am I? she grins playfully
Well, if you think that's hard, I also have "The Art of Defense and Counterattack" and "Magical Theory and Its Applications." Want to give one of them a try?
Nope. Looks like you will need to babysit me again soon
Oh, come on! It's not that bad, is it? I mean, you know I enjoy spending time with you. Plus, we can work on your defense spells while we hang out.
Okie dokie. Can you teach me the patronus charm?
Of course! It would be my honor to teach you the Patronus Charm. Hermione sits next to WakaCzar and guides them through the process of casting a Patronus Charm. They close their eyes and focus on happy memories, and soon enough, a beautiful silvery mist appears. It takes the shape of a cute black cat, who jumps onto WakaCzar's lap and starts purring loudly
