WHO: Everyone
WHAT: A catastrophe
WHERE: St. Mungo's
WHEN: Thursday Afternoon, around 4:45p

The bottle had been swapped the night before. The intern, a young wizard named Julius Young, was not supposed to be using Draco's ingredients, but he'd run out of his own and didn't want to wait till tomorrow. He was almost done, fifteen minutes before his shift was over. Arsenius had gone home. Draco was on break. He charmed the lock open, took out the bottle, and went back to his work station.

It was one of the most common potions the hospital used, but one of the ingredients, if mixed with Salamander Blood, was horribly explosive. The night before someone had sneaked in to the lab and swapped the bottle with salamander blood, dissolved in water with green dye. When the fake ingredient hit the half-finished potion, there was a shower of sparks, and then--as it mixed in-- a big bang.

The hospital shook, the blast set off a chain reaction of other, less stable ingredients in the lab. The floor above caved into the lab below. The lab sank into the floor below. Clocks fell off the wall, bottles rattled off the edges of tables.

The hospital broke into a state of panic.

	"Oh, good." He whispered, turning to look up at the beams of light momentarily. "Though, they could have taken a couple more minutes." He kidded, giving her a little smirk. Voices came a little louder. There were some workers, a triage nurse, and a Healer up in the hallway to help get them out of the office. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emma turned around, staring down at him. "Are you flirting with me while you're on the Brink of Death?" she asked, giving him her own smirk.

There was a beam of light that shown down into the destroyed office. "Hey! You all right down there?" a man called.

"I'm OK, but he's not. He's got a couple of broken ribs and a gash on his head," Emma called up.

"We'll bring you up then get someone down there to help him." At that Emma turned to Tim, not wanting to leave him.

	Tim nodded. He would have said something else, but the beam of light hit him in the face, and he squinted up at the people on the next floor up. "I'm all right!" Tim called out, ignoring what Emma said. He turned to her. "It's all right. Go get checked out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She reached out and touched his hand, but before she could do anything else, a hover charm was cast on her and she was being pulled out of the gaping hole in the floor. Emma didn't know the extent of the damage until she saw basically the entire wing had sunk down to the level below.

The nurse immediately took her down the hall to the stairs where she was taken to be checked out, and she didn't see Tim again for the rest of the evening.

	It took two healers with hovering charms to get Tim up and out. He couldn't move his chest or neck until the Healers got ahold of him. He was moved carefully to a remote location to have his ribs healed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
