At the words of the two students, Neville immediately moved over to the hole, pointing his wand down it. A small, glowing silver toad burst forth from the tip, hopping on air and heedless of gravity as it dashed down the hole, moving back and forth until finally, the silvery light fell on the prone form of his godson. The toad sat down on the Slytherin’s chest, even as Neville gestured with his hand. From the network of vines quickly growing all around them, a new one dropped down. Neville grabbed hold of the vine and swung over the hole, letting it lower him as it grew, until he was kneeling in the hole beside Albus. He needed to summon one of the house-elves down here, to Apparate Albus to the infirmary, but before he could do that, he wanted to be sure a broken arm was the only problem. A fall like this could have caused much worse injury. “Hey Al,” he said. Neville was not unkind by nature, but he had no time for soothing words right now. Time was a crucial factor, and not just for Albus here. Besides, Harry’s middle child had always seemed to prefer straightforwardness. “They said your arm is broken. Do you have any other injuries? Anything you can tell is wrong?”@al @scorp Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

-- if this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together “Hey Al,” opening his eyes al frowned. when had he closed them? he didn't recall closing his eyes. that was a weird feeling. he swallowed and shifted slightly, his gaze moving to the hole above him and neville. were rose and scorp still up there? they needed to get out before he did. he'd pushed rose. seen her hit her head as he'd fallen. "uncle n-neville?" making sure that he wasn't dreaming and the man kneeling next to him was really there and not a figment of his imagination. "did you g-get r-rose out? r-rose hit her h-head .. i pushed her .. i h-had to .. floor .. s-scorp left us" he coughed as he tried to get that sentence out. his chest hurt, his arm hurt, his head was killing him so forming sentences was a hard thing to do right now. he wanted to know that the people who had been with him were safe. he had done this to them so why did he get help before them? it didn't make sense.
“They said your arm is broken. Do you have any other injuries? Anything you can tell is wrong?” al swallowed and shifted his head. he wanted to know what was wrong. that was hard for someone who didn't like to tell people that very thing. if he could he'd tell neville that he was fine and he didn't need any help. but even al couldn't convince him of that right now. he was sure the blood over his face would give his godfather the feeling that he wasn't. and his arm. he wiggled his fingers a little and nodded. "broken .. f-few ribs i t-think" he said. letting his head rest back against the rock for a moment as he tried to catch his breath back. it was escaping him quicker than he could draw it into his lungs. "c-can't move my l-legs .. i t-tried" he said, his head turning to look at neville, helpless at that very moment to do anything but sit there and accept help he felt someone else should be getting. "w-where's rose?" he asked neville, having forgotten that he'd asked it when neville had first arrived. which oddly enough he couldn't remember either. his eyes narrowed in confusion as he stared at the hole above them.

Scorp moved out of the way as Neville stepped forward to use the vine in order to get Albus. He stood so close to Rose, their arms were getting warm against each other. As they heard Albus start to speak, Scorp lifted an arm to put it around Rose as they stood there. He pulled her forward so they could both see inside the hole better. "Hey mate, we're up here," Scorp called down, trying to give Al a heads up that he had come back. He could tell there was some hurt in his best friends voice when he told Neville that Scorp had left. He winced as Albus described his injuries and how he was feeling. Finally, he removed his arm from around Rose's shoulder and bent knelt beside the hole once more, "how do we get him out Professor? Or should I bring the nurse here? Or something?" Scorp asked all the questions in a row without a breath, he knew he had to keep a level head though, so he took a deep breath and turned back to Rose. "Any ideas, smarty-pants?" he cracked a smile, trying to cheer her up as well as himself. Rozalina Antonina Nightshade@superluigi64 @al

Rose's eyes were wide as she watched with bated breath as Neville lowered himself into the hole to save Albus. With Ondina safe from the smoke in the Hospital Wing and Scorpius right beside her, she had only Albus to worry about now. And it was killing her. Rose was feeling overcome with emotion and it didn't help when she felt Scorpius put his arm around her. She felt herself let out a little breath as he pulled her forward to look down into the hole, out of shock for both his being so close to her and fear of what she would see down there. But with Scorpius so close to her, she felt more hopeful.
She could hear Albus say her name and she let out a sigh of relief. He was okay. In a wave of emotion, she leaned her head on Scorpius's shoulder overcome with such happiness that her cousin was alive that she didn't even realize what she was doing. She shut her head up when she felt Scorpius wince and immediately took a swift step to the side to distance herself from him. She wanted so badly to help Albus just like he had helped protect her from getting hurt. She bit her lip nervously, waiting for Headmaster Longbottom to act. Rose raised an eyebrow and glanced at Scorpius when he spoke to her again. Seeing his smile, and knowing that Albus was more likely to be okay, she returned the smile. "Keep smiling like that and I'm sure I'll come up with something," she replied, jokingly.
But... did she really just say that out loud?

He smiled in relief when Albus opened his eyes and managed to stutter out his name. Good. He was still here and he still recognized his godfather. After the year Harry had had, the last thing he needed to hear was that his middle child had died. Injury was better. Marginally. He let Albus ramble through his questions, the smile fading slightly. Was Rose hurt so badly? She didn't act like it. “It's alright, Rose is okay. Scorpius is still there with her too. We'll make sure she sees the nurse, but right now you're worse off.” He was slurring his words slightly, and clearly having trouble breathing. Definite injury to the torso somewhere—a fact Albus confirmed with his words of broken ribs. Well, it wasn't the most pleasant experience, but Neville could fix those. And it they were the only immediate danger— “w-where's rose?”He froze, looking closely at Albus. He was confused, looking up like he couldn't figure out what was happening. Neville went cold when he realized Albus must have a head injury. If they didn't get him to the hospital wing quickly—well, Neville knew all too well that the mind was beyond the ability of magic to simply repair. He quickly slashed his wand through the air, Twinning it, and gently pushed the false wand in between Albus's teeth, so he couldn't bite his tongue out. “Bite down and brace yourself, Al, because this is gonna hurt.” Without giving Albus any time to process more than his request to bite down, Neville pointed his wand at the Slytherin's rib cage and repaired the broken bones within. He knew from personal experience, the spell was quite painful, as the bones basically forced themselves back into position and sealed, but in an emergency, it would have to do. Wasting no time, Neville pulled out a bottle of diluted dittany from his robes. He pulled the fake wand from Albus's mouth and trickled the potion down his throat. This would at least hold off internal injuries for a short time, until the nurses could apply real healing potions. Last, Neville pointed his wand at Albus again. Another spell to clear blocked airways and lungs. It almost felt like being punched in the stomach—the sudden lack of air made you see stars, but there was no pain accompanying it, and it only lasted an instant. He heard Scorpius calling down to him. Yes, action needed to be taken, and they were racing against time. “Petrificus Totalus!” As soon as he bound Albus, Neville picked him up and grabbed hold of the vine, commanding it to pull him up. The Full Body-Bind wasn't fun to be put under, but with h@carolineis body frozen like that, nothing would get worse while he was being moved. After only a moment, Neville was back with Rose and Scorpius, gently laying Albus down. “Cradle him before you lift the curse so he doesn't move too much,” he said to Rose, before turning and snapping his fingers once. The whistle would summon the nearest available house-elf, but the finger snap summoned the one assigned to all duties related to Neville himself. There was a crack, and a sharp-looking house-elf appeared. Snowy white hair haloed his head, which was bald on top, but the look in his eyes spoke of cunning and intelligence. “Headmaster?”“Momo, go to the hospital wing and inform Madame Blacksmith that an injured student seems confused and forgetful. I believe he has a head injury. Find out whether it's safe for you to Apparate him or not. Let me know immediately.” The no-nonsense house-elf knew when to dispense with formality, and as soon as Neville stopped speaking, he was gone with another whipcrack. Neville turned to the other two. They'd heard everything he said, and he had no intention of giving them time to panic. He would keep them thinking. “Are either of you injured? Albus said Rose hit her head.”@al @scorp Rozalina Antonina Nightshade @caroline

-- if this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together the next thing al knew after telling his godfather what was wrong with him there was something being pushed between his teeth. “Bite down and brace yourself, Al, because this is gonna hurt.” he had to take it between them, having no other choice but he wasn't prepared for what happened next. the spell that forced the broken ends of his ribs back together made a muffled scream rip through and out of his lungs as his teeth clamped down that hard on the wand he felt it splinter and almost snap. god that had hurt. it had him seeing stars as his head rested back against the rock. he coughed as he shifted his head, fighting a groan as he felt the wand being taken from his mouth. he hoped that was the end of it. he should have known better. he felt the liquid run down the back of his throat as neville dropped it into his mouth and he could do nothing but swallow it and grimace at the taste of it. it was the foulest taste, almost .. he couldn't think of a word to describe it at that moment. but he'd think of one eventually.
that gut punch feeling, the swirling of different shades of whites in front of his eyes made him wonder if neville was trying to finish him off. this was helping? it couldn't have been. he coughed as the air settled in his lungs again, realising that he could finally draw in a decent breath again and wondering why. "huh .." he mumbled, bringing his good hand up to touch the ribs that neville had healed. it had slipped from his memory, the pain and sudden jolt that had fixed them in the first place. one of the many things slipping from his mind in that moment. "rose? ondina?" he asked as he looked up at neville, eyeing the wand carefully as he heard him start to speak the spell. his eyes widened and he started to reach his hand out. "please don-" his voice cut off as the spell hit him and his body went stiff. frozen as he was all he could do was blink and hear what they were saying.

Scorp watched carefully as Neville pulled him up and cradled Al the best that he could. As the Headmaster asked if he was injured, Scorp shook his head. "In surprisingly good shape on my part. Ca-Nurse Leonato came for Ondina because of her Asthma and they're probably in the hospital by now," Scor turned to Rose as Neville mentioned Rose hitting her head. Panic struck through him and he leaned toward her, trying to get a better look. He didn't know much about medicine, not that he would admit to not knowing something, but he was sure that she was in better shape that Al and Ondina both were. Who knew who else was in trouble? Scorp shifted his gaze to his best friends face. He pushed some of the hair off of Albus's forehead and bit his lip with worry. He could have prevented this! Should have... he shouldn't have tried to make Ondina and Al talk at all. Maybe he shouldn't have even started dating Ondina again in the first place. Scorp was slowly starting to find all the ways to blame this on himself. When Momo reappeared, Scorp looked up at him with hopeful eyes. @superluigi64 Rozalina Antonina Nightshade@al

Rose's eyes shifted from Scorpius to Neville as he brought Albus up. She let out a breath of relief that he seemed alive. She was thanking Merlin a million times in her head. Then Professor Longbottom asked if they were hurt. Rose's eyes widened slightly when Scorpius leaned closer to her to do what looked like examine her. "I'm fine," she looked at Scorpius in the eyes and then back at the Headmaster. "I don't think I have a concussion or anything. Just a headache." She assured them but her eyes met Scorpous's one more time to show she meant it.
The Ravenclaw watched her cousin, frozen on the ground. She nodded at the professor as she instructed to cradle him. Without a wand for the time being, the only thing Rose could do momentarily was cradle her cousin. She held his neck up, waiting for further instruction. She looked up at Scorpius with a worried brow and then looked to the house elf when it arrived, hoping Madame Blacksmith was in tow.

When a house elf had appeared in Caroline's office with news from the headmaster, she had left the other students in the hospital in the hands of her nurses and she had made a mad dash for the astronomy tower. A student was injured and naturally Caroline was jumping into action. When she reached the tower, Caroline was shocked at the amount of debris. Clearly there had been some type of explosion and there was no telling how many people were caught in the crossfires. It looked like she was about to have her hospital fairly occupied.
Caroline climbed what remained of the stairs to find the headmaster with the house elf that had retrieved her and three students, one she recognized immediately as an unconscious Albus Potter. "What's happened?" She asked urgently, kneeling down on her knees beside the girl who held Albus in her arms. She looked him over, lifting one of his eyelids to get a look at his mental state. She looked up at Professor Longbottom then. "I think it best he is transported by hand," she said standing up. "I don't want to risk injuring him any further. He looks as if he may have a few broken bones here and there." She looked down at the girl, then glanced to the blonde boy and back to Professor Longbottom. "I assume everyone else is well? Are there any other students trapped?"
