Chapter 1: Disturbed
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Ginny shrieked waking Hermione
Ginny thrashed around on the bed. Arms and legs flailing wildly out of control getting bound up in the sheets. Hermione slipped out of her reach just in time to avoid a punch in the mouth.
"'MIONE!" Ginny screamed. Hermione tried to grab Ginny's arms
"I'm here baby, wake up" she said sternly as an arm comes out of Hermione's grip. It was no use even asleep Ginny was a formidable fighter. She ran to the door and almost ran into Harry and Ron running in, obviously woken by Ginny's screams. Without an explanation the boys jump on the bed trying to rein in the girls limbs long enough for Hermione to bind her. Once Ginny was subdued Ron, who had been examining her spoke breathlessly
"Blimey! What the hell was that? She won't wake up?"
"I know we need to get her to St. Mungo's" Hermione said also out of breath
"No, It's not safe there, we need Madam Pomfrey" reminded Harry
"Harry that will take forever" Hermione protested
"Yeah mate look at her" Ron joined Hermione
"I know but we can't risk her getting killed. You know the Death Eaters are always running in and out of there. It's not easy for me either but we need to be careful
Jinx flew over to Hermione's desk seconds before she got there herself. She quickly scribbled a note and attached it to his leg, with a screech he was gone and she turned to see Ron and Harry collapsing on the sofa she joined them in the chair
"Now we wait" said Harry
They all looked from one to the other. They all had questioned looks on their faces. Ron spoke first
"How long has she been like this?" Ron asked Hermione
"This is the worse she's been in a few weeks" Hermione answered slowly
"I thought you gave her the dreamless draught?" asked Harry
"I did, every night. More then the recommended dose. I didn't know what else to do for her. Oh gods what did I do?' Hermione holds her head in her hands and sobs
"If anybody has ANY answers or theories, now would be a brilliant time to express them" Ron said with a slight bit of sarcasm
"Our first night home together was….peaceful" Hermione said to no one in particular "Then it was all downhill from there. Ginny wasn't Ginny. Something was bothering her. When I asked her she would say don't worry, it's nothing or she was just tired. I know when and how to push Ginny and this was not one of those times. So I let it go. She was stressed about something….i just don't know what…"
After a long pause Harry spoke
"I know…….."
The other two looked at him like they just noticed him there.
"Well" urged Ron
"I told her to get help she said she was fine but when she stopped sleeping I knew this wasn't going to get better any time soon."
"What wasn't going to get better?" asked Ron
"She was trying not to let Hermione find out, it was very important to her, which was her one request." Harry looked at Hermione who wore a look of utter horror "It's not my place to betray Ginny's confidence but given her condition I think you both should know" Harry replied in a monotone voice.
