- Now Harry, Hermione and Ginny are all in the hospital wing with Ron, where McGonagall, Dumbledore, Slughorn, and Snape are trying to figure out what happened.
- It seems that the bottle Slughorn used to pour the celebration drink was poisoned. And, like the package that Katie had been carrying, it was intended for Dumbledore. Yikes—someone really has it in for the headmaster.
- Lavender then comes rushing in to see her "Won-Won" (vom) and is infuriated to find Hermione there. To make matters worse for the future of "Rovender" (Or "Lon"?), Ron starts calling for Hermione in his sleep. Looks like it's Lavender's turn to run out of the room crying.
