Opal screamed, coughed up blood and Adrien shrieked in horror. But his fear only lasted a moment, as his helaer's instinct kicked in. He picked Opal up and ran. "Apparate to Mungos!!!" He bellowed. "But-" Harry started. "NO BUTS HARRY." Adrien shouted, and in a flash he was at St Mungos. He pushed past people to the desk, and healers took Opal away, forcing Adrien back. Harry gripped Adrien's arm and steered him to the waiting room. A healer in long white robes walked towards them, grimacing. "She'll be in here a week dears. Longer most likely. You have go, you can visit in a few days, when she'd ready." The witch said sadly, handing Adrien a bag of Opal's things. Adrien slung it over his shoulder, and Harry helped him stand, because his legs refused to stop shaking, and his brain refused to stop thinking. Inconsiderate brain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is Grimmauld Place" Hermione explained, as Adrien entered a dark and dim seeming building. Adrien sat down on a horribly stained couch, and took the locket-the horcrux- out of Opal's bag. "This thing really got to her" Ron said, gingerly tapping the seemingly harmless locket. Adrien nodded sadly. "She'll be fine. She'll have to be fine." He whimpered, but somewhere in the back of his mind, he didn't believe it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
