HBP: Saved by the Bezoar

A scene from Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 18, "Birthday Surprises". Done for The HP Art Project [link] You can find the close-ups here: [link]

The scene: it's Ron's birthday, and he mistakenly ate some chocolates that were meant for Harry, which had been injected with a love spell. Harry took Ron to see Professor Slughorn to be cured. Slughorn got out his potions kit and fixed Ron up. Then he decided to *cheer* Ron up with a birthday glass of mead. The mead turned out to be poisoned. As Ron lay writing on the floor, foaming at the mouth, Harry "jumped over a low table" to get to Slughorn's kit (pictured behind Slughorn, who was still dressed for bed when they arrived), found a bezoar, and put it in Ron's mouth. Ron was cured -- this is the moment after.

I stole a lot from myself in order to complete this image .... Ron's shirt bears the Chudley Cannons logo I made: [link] Harry's shirt bears the Gryffindor herald I made for a jacket of mine and have used in a number of my drawings: [link] I filched the candle on the table in the back from the Yule Ball image I did: [link] I filched the candle in the foreground from an image of an HP OC I created: [link] The amphitere on the table is from here: [link] The painting on the wall is of Dumbledore: [link] And the tapestry is from a logo I did: [link] (That's actually the second time I've used that logo that way ...)
