Chapter 1:

Life Can Simply Be Put To Rest

On a late summer night, two teenage girls walked along the main park of their town. Jessica Granger was the oldest out of the two, she was 5'8 with straight blonde hair that fell past her bust but was currently up in a ponytail, in her right hand she carried multiple shopping bags from their early excursion. Jessica was currently wearing a light blue summer dress that hit her knee, adorning her feet were a pair of black strappy sandals; currently she was speaking to her younger cousin Hermione Granger. Hermione was laughing at Jessica's comment about the lady in the last shop they stopped by. She was wearing a comfortable pair of jeans and flowy peach top; her wild honey brown hair was in a fishtail braid, she wore the same black strappy sandals. As they arrived at the crosswalk they quickly decided to go through the shortcut, down the alley the crossed through the town to arrive at Hermione's home.

Unfortunately these two teens will regret that decision. All day they had been trialed within the shadows by the enemy who had been waiting for a fortunate moment when they can strike. As the two teens walked down the dreary alley, Hermione felt the hair on her neck stand on end. The air around the two got colder, making both girls stop in their wake.

"Well look at what we have here. It's the Mudblood and a Muggle, how sweet." A voice from the shadows spat.

"Who's there?" Hermione demanded as she immediately went for her wand, only to not feel it in its usual place. The bags on her left arm, weighed heavily with her realization. Hermione had regretted her decision of leaving her wand at home. Her parents had talked to her earlier in the summer regarding Jessica's no knowledge of magic and how they couldn't tell her.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mudblood," the voice spat again, sending immediate chills down her body. Hermione knew that voice. The realization of who was in the shadows washed over her, glancing at Jessica's face she knew they had no chance.

"Oh really" She decided to taunt. Although she didn't have a wand they didn't need to know that.

"Hermione what's going on?" Jessica asked, as she switched her bags to her other hand. Her face showed fear. Hermione slowly moved closer to her cousin, and whispered, "When I say go, go. Okay?" But as Jessica tried to nod she realized she couldn't. Her hazel eyes bugged out and she tried again realizing she couldn't move, Hermione tried to move as well only to realize that they were immobilized. From the shadows, multitudes of dark shadows emerged, their cloaks shimmering under the streetlights that barely lit the alley. Finally one dark cloak stood out from the rest, this specific cloak took off her hood and underneath was a woman with thick, shining dark hair, long eyelashes and heavily hooded eyes with a crazed look in them. Laughing at the two teens, Bellatrix took her 12¾", Walnut, dragon heartstring wand and struck.

"CRUCIO!" she pointed it at Hermione. Laughing as Hermione fell to the floor, twitching as her body was locked in its position. Her shopping bags fell all around, baby clothes scattered around them.

"She pregnant?" Bellatrix exclaimed, forcing more hatred towards the brunette. A tutting noise came from the crowd, as they gave way for another head, pulling the mask away from his face, Lucius Malfoy spoke. "Now now, Bella. Our Master will be in much better spirits of we take her in with the child. Our Lord knows how much Potter values his family." Bella stopped and turned to her comrade, smirking, "You're right Lucy!" completely ignoring his face of distaste.

As they spoke and gave orders toward the crowd completely ignoring that Hermione moved, smiling at her cousin she chose to stay in the position Bella left her. It would be much better she had concluded to have an upper hand. Hermione always worked well under pressure, but she needed a way out, quickly glancing at her hands, she saw a shimmer in the light and she remembered. Harry had given her a portkey in form a ring, when activated it would teleport the wearer and whoever she touched with it to the safe house, while activating the wards around her family home. She knew she had little time, Jessica had not been targeted yet but she knew Death Eaters where going to start soon.

As soon as her thought ended Lucius Malfoy spoke, "We take the Mudblood, but we kill the Muggle." As Hermione heard that, she panicked and got up and ran towards her cousin, not realizing the green light heading straight towards them, as she portkeyed them away from the scene. Luck was not on their side, the light hit Jessica and Hermione realized it as they arrived at the grand staircase of the Black Family Manor. Jessica's shopping bags dropped as soon as they landed, baby clothes, dresses and other article of clothing adorned the entrance hallway. A wretched sob escaped as Hermione wrapped her arms around her favorite cousin.

Hearing the commotion from the entrance hall, the Order Meeting came to halt. "Did anyone hear that?" Asked Fred as he stood from his seat at the Order table, to his left was his twin, George; they both wore simple t-shirts and jeans. To Fred's right was Remus and Sirius, they both seemed to have aged years, the dark circles more pronounced now than ever before, they where seated next to Tonks. Even Tonk whose spirit rivaled the twins, held a face of somber. Shackle bolt's sat next to her, his skin was ashy, his face showed pure concern while Professor McGonagall seemed simply overwhelmed. Professor Dumbledore, the Head of the Order, his snowy white beard seemed greyer than white, and the circles under his eyes seemed darker than his chosen apparel.

"Heard what?" Replied Remus.

"Heard that" George explained, just as a huge sob entered the room.

"The wards have changed," shouted Sirius. The whole Order got up and exited, following the sobs they encountered first a baby girl onesie. Fred raised his eyebrow at his twin as they passed by the article of clothing. They turned the corner to the grand staircase, the twins stopped in their tracks as they looked at Hermione cradling a blonde female surrounded by various pieces of clothing. They approached cautiously and kneeled near her.

"Are you okay?" George asked, Hermione lifted her head, tears poured down her face, hiccups and sobs escaped her as she lowered her head back down.

"What happened?" Fred cautiously asked. Hermione again raised her head just buried it back again into her cousin's neck, her sobs getting louder, as the bounced of the high ceilings. She felt like a failure, she could have acted a few seconds earlier; Kayleigh would still had her mother.

The rest of the Order looked upon them as they entered, Dumbledore's face showed deep regret, slightly nodding at Sirius, who was the only resident that could apparate in the premises. A few minutes later Sirius popped back with Harry. Harry looked disheveled, his glasses were all screwed over, his hair was messier than ever, as if that was possible. He currently had on a soft cotton t-shirt and fitted jeans. Immediately his look of annoyance disappeared when he heard that heartbreaking sobs. Shooing the twins away, he laid a hand on Hermione's elbow; causing her to lift her head up one more time. Instantly recognizing her best friend, Hermione launched herself to him, while still clutching Jessica's body close to her.

Harry's right arm wrapped around her midsection trying very hard to avoid contact with the corpse in Hermione's arms. He whispered in her ear, "You need to let her go now. Hermione, she needs to be put to rest." Hermione instantly clutched harder to her cousin's body, the sobs growing louder that they echoed around them. "Hermione please let her body go. I cant hug you nor can we help you if you don't let go." Hermione's body shook even harder, hiccups once again became more and more pronounced. But finally after another whisper, her logical mind started to agree; Jessica was gone. She needed to get it together; she still needed to go get her parents and Kayleigh. At the thought of Kayleigh, she hugged Jessica's body once more before pulling away from Harry and setting the body down.

Hermione looked down, she carefully, pulled the hair tie from Jessica's hair, and arranged her hair around her face. Licked her thumb she wiped the dirt stains away. Her sobs still shook her body, but she leaned forward a placed one single kiss on Jessica's forehead as she pulled away, Hermione whispered, "I will make sure nothing happens to Kayleigh as long as am alive. I promise, I won't fail."

Swifty getting up, Hermione wiped away her tears. Harry got up instantly, he stood on the side as he watched Hermione start to pick up article after article of clothing until her arms were full of baby onesies, dresses, shoes and baby socks along with a few casual adult dresses. She looked up at the Order and headed up to her assigned room in the Black Manor. The stairs creaked and made sound as she walked up but just as she was headed to the third floor, a hand stopped her and pulled her past a few rooms on the second floor, until she reached Harry's room. He gave her a small smile and indicated for her to go in, she nodded at him and sat down on the bed.

After a fierce hug, he noticed that her shaking body wasn't because of her crying. Her tears had dried, and her hiccups had diminished, the stains still left streaks on her cheeks, but she wasn't crying. The clothes she had been clutching to her even in the hug just fell out of her hands.

"Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked as he saw her body keep shaking. "Hermione?" He pulled away and the next thing Harry knew, Hermione's eyes rolling to the back of her head, and her body shook even harder.

"Sirius HELP!" He yelled; as he tried to hold her down to stop her arms and legs to flying everywhere as her body shook. Sirius ran up the stairs to Harry's room, breathing heavily he immediately freaked out as he saw Hermione's body out of control. Quickly popping out and bring back Professor Dumbledore in a few seconds.

"Oh my, what happened?" Dumbledore asked Harry. He proceeded to move his wand in intricate waves, murmuring incantations under his breath, as he listened to Harry's story.

"She was starting to calmed down but I noticed her body kept shaking and all the clothes dropped out of her hands and then her eyes went to the back of her head." Harry explained, he started to pace back and forth, while keeping an eye on the Professors movements.

"Sirius, bring Severus." The look Dumbledore sent Sirius made any protest disappear. A couple of moments later, Sirius appeared with an upset Severus, with a potions kit in his hands.

"You rang?" Severus Snape asked with clear distaste, his hair looking greasier than ever.

"I have slowed down the damage but the Cruciatus Curse was used her body. And it is going into post traumatic stress. You know there are only a select few that have that effect on their victims." Dumbledore told him, as Professor Snape went to treat Hermione. Severus forced multiple different potions down Hermione's throat.

"She needs rest, but she should be better in a few hours. If that is all Headmaster, I will be leaving." With a nod from Dumbledore he left the room, leaving Harry, Sirius and the Headmaster alone.

" Let her rest Harry. We will let you be, let us know when she wakes." Professor Dumbledore told him with a lightly patting his back.

"What will everyone else be doing?" Harry asked, running his hand through his hair.

"We will be collecting the Grangers and relocating them here." Dumbledore turned from Harry as he asked Sirius, "Is that okay?"

"Yes of course." Sirius stated, giving Harry a small smile he turned away and out the door.

"Fantastic. After that we will have funeral arrangements." Dumbledore said. "She'll be okay, Harry." And with that the Headmaster left the room and closing the door, leaving Harry to his thoughts.
