Another new chapter for you guys! Hope you enjoy it. Remember to review, review and review! :')

Hermione had been awoken by another nightmare; a nightmare about when she was in the Malfoy Manor; she had been covered in her sweat and breathing rather heavily. She decided to take a shower to take her mind off things.

''Who's there?'' Ginny whispered.

''Ginny, lower your wand. It's depth at the sides is so big I can see it in the dark.''

Ginny sighed, ''Sorry for being cautious.'' She said, sardonically. Hermione could tell Ginny was rolling her eyes and she felt tension in the room; rushing out, she waited for the hit of a ward slamming her back would come, but it didn't.

''Ginny, don't you ward your room?'' Hermione asked bitterly.

''I guess I didn't.'' Ginny shrugged, ''No big deal anyways.''

''No big deal? No, big, deal? Ginny, you could have been killed in your sleep! Mrs. Weasley doesn't need another child down!'' She shrieked.

Ginny suddenly found some interest of glaring at the floor - she didn't feel bad, nor upset; but a warm feeling emitted in her stomach (like the first time she had gotten her wand from Diagon Alley) whenever someone mentioned the late Fred. She had thought about George and how he would stay cooped up in his room all day, the only time he would be making noise is if he was sobbing or making something new in memory of Fred.

''Just go back to bed. I'll put up the wards.'' Hermione sighed and pointed her wand towards the door, holding a ready stance. ''Colloportus!'' Hermione cried. ''Protego Horribilis, Protego Totalum.'' She had finished multiplying the protective spells and tried to catch up on some sleep.

''Why wont the door open?'' Luna asked curiously.

''Aren't you the Ravenclaw here?'' Ginny mused.

''Yes, but I didn't get to do my NEWTs. And if I'm correct, this is a NEWT level spell.'' Luna muttered back.

''Well, what are we going to do?'' Ginny complained.

''I don't know?'' Luna squeaked in her usual light, yet dreamy voice.

''If you two don't stop babbling, I will not take these wards down.'' Hermione murmured tiredly. She definitely wasn't a morning person. Ginny and Luna frowned at Hermione as she got up, pointing her wand at the door. She had removed the protective wards before shouting, ''Alohomora!'' a click went through the room.

''Thank you! I need to get my catch up on the Daily Prophet.'' Ginny began. ''Nothing interesting here, nope, not-'' Ginny had stopped mid sentence.

''Ginny, whats happened?''

''Apparently, you have you go to the Wizengamot. With Ron and Harry.''

''About...?''

''Malfoy and Mrs. Malfoy.'' Hermione gulped. The colour that was in her face before had all drained out and they only thing left was her pale skin.

''What do you mean I have to go to court about two thirds of the Malfoy family?''

''Malfoy's been in Azkaban for some time. Kingsley wants you three to decide what to do with the little git.''

''Hermione, you know, you could always send him back to Azkaban.'' Luna advised.

''I don't think that's right to be honest.'' Hermione shut her eyes and fell back into the arm chair. ''As much as I'd love to, it's not like he played a bad part in the war. All he did was to keep him and his parents', well at least one, alive. While the other one rots in Azkaban.''

''It says here,

Malfoys With Gold Again?

by Rita Skeeter

'The Malfoy heir and his dearest mother are set to be in front of the Wizengamot with the Golden Trio. Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and The-Boy-Who-Happened-To-Live-While-His-Parents-Did n't will be there. Lusheius and Jrako Malfoy are currently in Azkaban until the trial and Narcissus is under house watch. The Golden Trio no longer reside together after Hermione Granger was seen leaving 12 Grimmauld Place with a suitcase, tension between her and the love struck Mr Weasley perhaps? Mr Weasley didn't have a look of remorse on his face at all at what he could have possibly said to Miss Granger. Will the trio come together to go to this trial?'

still basing her articles off lies, I see.'' Ginny pointed out.

''I don't even want to deal with this anymore. I'm going back to Grimmauld Place to deal with your brother Ginny. But now, I think I'll continue with my sleep that I was interrupted from.''

''It's only eight Hermione!'' Ginny called out.

''Eight in the morning!'' Hermione shouted as she dropped into her bed.

Thanks for the reviews guys. This is probably the longest chapter yet.
