A Little Help Here!

[Zero Quinn]

*Apparated from Diagon Alley outside of St. Mungo's with a horribly and gravely injured Katie Bell in his arms. He didn't even waste time heading for reception, he just passed on by, and carried her all the way to the Fourth Floor.*

*Dashes off the lift, looking about frantically for a Healer to help Katie.*

*Sees no one, and begins to shout.*

HELLO! A LITTLE HELP HERE!

[Katie Bell]

*The pain was excruciating, and the agony from the gash on her back is so strong it's starting to fade with her consciousness. She's floating- or is she being carried? It's silent except for the rapid footsteps of whoever's holding her up. She's cold and tired, barely able to keep herself from falling into the darkness around her.*

_{Stop shouting!}

*Unable to focus on what Zero's saying, Katie only registers the volume. Barely able to speak, she brokenly whispers to the world around her.*

_Grey-son...

[Ally Moore]

*Having come to St. Mungo's to see if any of the injured can tell her anything about Voldemort and the Death Eaters, she scans the fourth floor for someone that might help her.*

*Hears shouting and follows the voice to its source, coming upon a severely injured witch in the arms of a frantic wizard. Her eyes wide, she addresses them.*

What happened to her?

[Augustus Pye]

*runs in, panting*

What's up?

*sees the injured girl and groans sympathetically*

Oh dear!

*levitates her carefully onto a stretcher and looks at the other two wizards present*

Please, tell me a bit about the accident.

[Katie Bell]

*Is barely holding onto consciousness. Mentally exclaims.*

_{QUIET! Just...let me...go to sleep...}

[Zero Quinn]

*Glances down to Katie in his arms. She's mumbling something, but he can't quite make it out. He shakes her a bit in his arms, leaning in closer to hear what she is saying, and it sounds like a name. Perhaps her attacker?*

*Whispers into her ear.*

Shh... You're alright, you're going to be fine. Hold on, miss.

*Grows somewhat relieved as the red headed witch approaches, and shakes his head.*

I do not know what happened to cause this, I came across her on my way to pub.

*Nods to the wizard that just approached, and is even more relieved now that Katie is out of his arms. She wasn't too heavy, he just has a bit of an issue with being bled all over.*

As I was telling her. I was on my way to the pub, and there she was on the ground in Diagon Alley. I didn't see any one around, but that doesn't explain much, they could have disapparated.

[Augustus Pye]

*magically removes most of the girl's clothes and syphons the blood off her body with quick movements of his wand*

Don't worry, Miss, we'll take care of this!

*makes her drink a spoonfull of some nasty smelling liquid*

Try to keep it down, it will make the pain go away in a moment.

*looks over the injuries and starts mending the minor ones*

Episkey!

*glances at the woman with the Auror sign on her robes*

It's good that you are here, we might have to report that to the Ministry.

[Ally Moore]

*Nods distractedly, watching the healer help the girl, wondering how in the world someone could have done something like this.*

Yes, I believe we should. As soon as we know who did this to her, I'll let the other Aurors know, and we'll catch whoever's responsible.

*Is not certain of the truth of her words, and knows that the others are probably as skeptical- if not infinitely more so- of the Ministry's ability to catch dark wizards in this troubled time. Decides not to let the subject linger longer than it has to, and asks the first question that comes to mind after listening to the wizard's explanation of how he found the girl.*

Does she have any enemies? Anyone who might want to hurt her? It could have been a random attack, but more times than not, it's someone the victim knows.

*Eyes open wide as the liquid hits her tongue, and if it weren't for the Healer's words, she would've spit all of it right back at him. Healer. She groans, not in pain this time, but realization of where she is with sudden clarity. She's reminded of the last time she was brought to St. Mungo's, and-

her train of thought is wrecked as the pain of bones snapping back into place surprise her. She bites the inside of cheek so she doesn't say anything rude about the healing process...Hearing questions about her attacker, she whispers the name through clenched teeth.*

_Jolie.

[Augustus Pye]

*as the meds seem to kick in and she doesn't seem to have too much pain anymore, he helps her to sit up to look at her back*

Oi, that doesn't look good.

*performs a complicated spell and keeps her steady until it works*

Jolie? What do you mean with that?

*looks askance at the other wizards*

*Turns away from the healer and the victim as Ally begins to ask him questions. Slowly he shakes his head.*

I've no idea who she is let alone who her enemies may or may not be.

*Cannot allow his name to be brought into this. There's surely going to be a report of some sort, and if his name is on any piece of parchment concerning anything that a Death Eater may or may not have done, he's as good as dead for helping the girl out.*

Look. It isn't me you should be asking your questions to.

*Jerks his head in Katie's direction.*

It's her, and seeing as she's in no condition for questions, I guess you'll just have to wait.

*Turns toward the Healer, growing quite annoyed and regretful he even decided to help. Damn his human nature.*

She mentioned another name before the both of you came along. I believe she said, "Greyson".

*Shrugs, not certain that's what she even said.*

Perhaps one of those two know.

[Augustus Pye]

*feels the young wizard is getting nervous, but he's used to it. It's not uncommon in these times that wizards who bring in a victim from the street get uncomfortable when they have to give information about themselves. He nods friendly at the man*

I understand. Anyway, thanks to your quick help the damage isn't so bad, I don't want to know what had happened to her if she'd been out on the street all night.

*takes a bottle from the shelf and levitates the stretcher towards the door*

I think we can move her to a room now, she'll get some blood replenishing potion, and after a little rest she might remember a bit more.

[Katie Bell]

*Is obviously not in the mood for anyone else's frustration...unless they too have just been knocked around Diagon Alley by a jealous, Death Eater Veela. Her back still aches as the wizard holds her up, and she almost snorts at his comment. She forces her reply out of her raw throat instead of shaking her head. Years of Quidditch taught her to keep her head as still as possible whenever she's hit hard enough up there.*

_{Not- not Greyson.}

*Licks her lips, knowing she's going to have to speak up louder so they can actually hear her.*

It was Jolie, she left- left before you-

*Is implying Zero. She can't see him from the position that she's currently in.*

-came.

*Pauses, wishing she knew the wizard's name who found her in Diagon Alley and was kind enough to bring her here. Her words are cracked, her voice is refuses to cooperate after the screaming she did during the Cruciatus.*

Thank you.

[Zero Quinn]

*Nods to the Healer in understanding, finally throughly relieved. He knows the witch is going to be fine, and now he's free to make his escape.*

*Turns to Katie, shaking his head, smiling softly.*

No thanks necessary, dear, just don't wander about alone anymore. I don't want to be troubled with seeing you again, hear?

*After all the years Zero has spent living the lie of being a dark wizard the snooty behavior isn't something he can just turn off.*

We're finished here?

*Looks pointedly to the Healer and Ally.*

[Augustus Pye]

As far as I'm concerned, yes.

*gives the Ministry witch a short glance, then turns his attention back to the injured woman*

Don't strain yourself, Miss, you are safe here now, and everything will be fine in a bit.
