Summary: When Hermione's grandmother dies and she finds herself seeking comfort in the arms of somebody that no one at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry expected, except maybe the legendary headmaster Albus Dumbledore, least of all Hermione and her consoler. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Ron as a great ball of ginger fluff began to claw at his robes. "Crookshanks!!! Git off! Hermione come get your cat."
It was the night before they were set to leave for kings cross and the house was in an uproar. The Weasley's new house was already small and cramped with the remaining few members of the family, let alone the entire order, and Harry and Hermione.
Ever since they had left Hogwarts the previous year Harry Ron and Hermione had been inside this house, which Dumbledore had procured for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley for their protection from Voldemort. No one had gone near Number Twelve Grimwald Place since tragic death of Harry's god father last year. They all felt it was too hard, they hadn't even said his name if it didn't concern the order.
Now they were leaving, going back to school and the endless classes with their various teachers. But for Harry Ron and Hermione the new school year meant something more than it did for all the other students. It meant training, the training that Dumbledore had decided to give them so that they could protect themselves if they were ever attacked.
"Hey have you guys seen my Arithmancy book, I can't find it anywhere." Asked Hermione.
"No, weren't you just reading it this morning?" said Ron.
"Yes, but I put it down on the.." Hermione was interrupted by a tapping on the window, where a snowy owl sat with a letter tied to her leg.
"Hedwig! What are you doing here; I thought you were out hunting." Harry said as he opened the window and his owl flew over to perch on the headboard and stick out her leg. "It's from Dumbledore." Harry stated as he unfolded the letter and saw Dumbledore's ancient scrawl.
Harry, Ron, Hermione,
Please meet me in my office after the start of term feast.
Albus Dumbledore
"When do you think they'll start?" asked Hermione
"Who do you think will be teaching us?" questioned Ron "As long as it's not Snape, I'm happy." Commented Harry
"As long as what's not Snape?" asked Ginny who had just walked into the room during Harry's last statement.
Ginny had sprouted over the summer, she was now only a few inches shorter than Harry and it was quit obvious that she would have the Weasley height.
"Nothing, just some defense stuff." Said Ron
"You guys have been secretive all summer now what about Snape and this defense stuff?!?!" Ginny started the statement in a normal voice but it had gradually risen to a yell by then end.
"Ginny, calm down it isn't important." Said Harry trying to calm her down.
"No, I won't calm down! Now I want to know what's going on, I know that it has nothing to do with me, but you three have been plotting together all summer. You have been off in your own world and there was no one else in this whole stupid house for me to talk to." Raved Ginny, just before she turned around, threw open the door, and walked right into her mother.
"I thought I heard yelling," said Mrs. Weasley. "Having a little slumber party, you all need to get to bed; after all, we all have a big day tomorrow."
"We know mom." Said Ron when his mother gave him a glare for not saying anything.
With that Ginny walked out of the room and into hers slamming the door behind her.
"Well I guess we'll get to sleep too, night mum." Said Ron "Ok, just get there soon." Warned Mrs. Weasley just before she walked out and went down the hall to her own room.
"Well I guess we have kind of been leaving her out a lot lately. Maybe we should include Ginny, I mean she could be a target too, couldn't she?" said Harry.
"Yeah I guess so.. well I'm going to go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow ok." said Hermione.
"Bright and early, I'll be the one sleep walking." stated Ron
"Well, you shouldn't have left your homework until last night Ron, you might have gotten more sleep." said Hermione
"Why they give us homework over the summer, I'll never know." said Ron
With a laugh Hermione left the two boys alone. They immediately started to get ready for bed.
"Do you really think that Ginny could be a target Harry? I mean for real, could she be in danger?" asked Ron, the worry evident in his voice.
"Well, I don't know, but it is a possibility. I mean isn't it." stated Harry, but noticing the worry lines on his friends face deepen he expounded on his comment. "but don't worry, if you want we can talk to Dumbledore about it tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll feel better when we start the training." said Ron.
Finally they climbed into there beds and turned off the light, but just before he fell asleep Harry said, more rhetorically than as an actual question, "Who do you think will be teaching us?" But his friend was already sound asleep, and a second later, he was too.
