"Madame Pompfrey!" Harry shouted as he floated Luna's body through the doorway to the Hospital wing.
The mediwitch came out of her office looking slightly annoyed that someone would be yelling in her domain, but her expression quickly changed to one of shock when she saw the floating body. "What happened?"
"I think Ginny Weasley attacked Luna." Harry settled Luna's body on the nearest bed.
Madame Pompfrey waved her wand over Luna trying to find out what curse was used and was stunned when she got no readings back.
"It looked like she was dying," Harry told her before she could ask any questions. "She stiffened up then collapsed to the ground only I didn't see the colour of the spell being cast. Nor did I hear the spell. She started having trouble breathing almost immediately. I've got her suspended between life and death until I can find out what hex was used on her."
Madame Pompfrey looked thoughtful. "It may not have been a spell, Mr. Potter."
"What could it have been, then?"
"Miss Lovegood is allergic to bee stings." Madame Pompfrey told him as she started checking for the site of a sting. "According to her father she is deathly allergic."
"But bees aren't active in winter, especially here." Harry pointed out.
"Ordinarily you would be right, but if a hive located itself in a warm place, it could be active year round. And there it is." Madame Pompfrey found a red swollen area on the back of Luna's neck.
"Can you help her?" Harry wanted to know. He felt at least partly responsible for what had happened to Luna. He had no doubt that Ginny had attacked her because she saw her as a threat to her possession of him.
"I have a potion similar to what the muggles use to counteract it that I keep on hand for her and a few other wizards and witches who have the same problem." Madame Pompfrey headed to her potions cupboard.
...
All the doors in the Great Hall slammed shut with a loud bang startling the students, teachers, and inspectors, who were eating dinner, into silence.
Looking around expecting it to be some kind of attack, they saw Harry Potter standing near the closed entrance to the Great Hall and what scared them all was the murderous expression his face and the fact that his staff was covered from head to foot in a glowing emerald green sheath of power.
" GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY! " Potter's angry voice echoed off the stones of the Great Hall. "STAND FORTH AND FACE JUDGEMENT FOR YOUR ACTIONS!"
Those sitting at the Head table tried to get up but found that they couldn't move. Apparently Mr. Potter intended to allow no interference in what was about to happen.
When Ginny Weasley failed to appear, he said sarcastically, "so much for Gryffindor bravery."
A spell shot from the staff, and headed toward the Gryffindor table. The Gryffindors shrieked as they tried to scramble out of the way, not knowing what would happen if that spell hit them. The yellow beam of light zigzagged around them until it found the one it had been sent for and wrapping itself around her, pulled Ginny away from the Gryffindor table and out into the middle of the aisle.
In the deathly silence that followed Ginny being pulled away from the shelter of the Gryffindor table, Harry stalked toward her and the students could hear his staff thud as it came down hard against the flagstones of the Great Hall with his every step.
"Did you or did you not attack Luna Lovegood and try to kill her?" The volume of Harry's voice had dropped, but it was still echoing off the walls.
Ginny stood there, determined not to show her fear. She hadn't expected him to find out that it was she who attacked Luna and even if he had she hadn't expected this level of anger. He shouldn't care what happened to that weird little nobody. Luna wasn't anybody important. He should only care about what happened to her. She was after all going to be his wife. She'd had it all planned out from the day she first met him.
Several of the students gasped as a pale blue light surrounded Ginny Weasley. They also noticed that right next to Ginny the colour of the light was a deep, pulsing red.
"I'm waiting, Miss Weasel." Harry hissed, "but my patience is not limitless. Did you attack Luna?"
Ginny opened her mouth intending to deny the accusation, but what came out was, "Yes, but I didn't intend to kill her, just warn her off. I knew she was allergic to bees and that it would make her sick. She has no right to you. You're mine. You've always been mine and you would realise it if you could see past your anger over how you were treated last year. We belong together and you know it."
"Luna nearly died because of what you did!" Harry growled, circling her like a wolf. "You attacked your best friend because you saw me give her a kiss on the cheek and somehow in your warped little mind, you equated that to her taking me away from you! Would that be an accurate statement?"
Ginny tried to keep her mouth closed, but "yes," came tumbling out.
