I do not own anything Harry Potter (JK Rowling and Warner Brother do), because if I did Harry and Hermione would end up together.

FYI..This story starts off with Draco & Hermione but will become Harry & Hermione and takes place during sixth year.


Narcissa informed Draco that Hermione would like to see him before they left, so she told him she would wait for him in Prof. Snape's office. Now Draco was on his way to the hospital wing and he was quite nervous. He remembered how angry she was with him this morning and figured she was probably just going to yell at him some more and then end their relationship once and for all. He honestly couldn't blame her. He still couldn't believe this is how they ended up. How did things go so wrong with them? It was him. He was the reason things went wrong. Him and his jealousy of Potter. That was the only thing they ever fought over. He remembered how great their summer had been, just the two of them. How in love they were. Then when they got back to school, things changed. They were sneaking around because she wasn't ready to tell her friends yet. She had to spend time with Potter as well as him.

He remembered one particular fight a few weeks into school...

"Mia, I'm sick of sneaking around and hiding, let's just tell our friends and then we won't have to worry about this anymore." said Draco

"No, Draco, I'm not ready to tell my friends yet. They wouldn't understand." replied Hermione.

"What is there to understand? You are dating the hottest guy in school and he wants to spend all his time with you." Draco said with his famous smirk.

Hermione smacked him in the butt and said "seriously Draco, it's not that simple, we've been through this before. Harry and Ron will not understand."

"Yes, you're right, but will they ever? I mean how long do we have to hide it from them? At some point you are going to have to tell them and I just don't see why we can't do it now." said Draco

"No, I'm not ready. I need to ease them into it. Start bringing you up more and talk about you in a positive way. You need to stop giving them grief and change the way you act around them. If we do this increasingly over the next couple of months, we should be able to tell them around Christmas." said Hermione.

"Christmas! It's only September Mia, that's months away!" yelled Draco

"Draco, what do you want me to do? They are my best friends! I'm not going to lose them!" yelled Hermione

"What you really mean is that you're not going to chance losing Harry for me" snapped Draco.

"That's not what I said and you know it. Harry and Ron are my best friends and in case you've forgotten your self proclaimed enemy. You hate each other and they will see my being with you as a betrayal to them." replied Hermione with forced calmness.

"You're right we do hate each other and I honestly don't care what they think. I don't understand why you do. You say you love me, but you're afraid to tell anyone else. How is that love? If you really loved me you wouldn't care what anyone else thought, would you?" asked Draco

"That not fair Draco. You're asking me to chose between our relationship and my best friends. I won't let you do that to me." Hermione fiercely replied.

"I guess that's my answer then. By you refusing to chose, you are automatically telling me that you chose them." said Draco turning his back to her.

"MERLIN DRACO, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR YOU? WHEN DOES IT STOP? YOU CAN'T CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE, THAT'S NOT LOVE!" yelled Hermione

"LET'S JUST SAY WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT, SHALL WE? THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIENDS HARRY AND RON, THIS IS ABOUT HARRY AND ONLY HARRY. I KNOW YOU WANT HIM AS MORE THAN A FRIEND. I SEE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HIM WHEN YOU THINK NO ONE'S LOOKING. YOU SPEND WAY MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN WITH RON, AND WAY MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN I SPEND WITH ANY OF MY FRIENDS. YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HIM, SIT NEAR HIM, STAND UP FOR HIM, HELP HIM. YOU DO EVERYTHING FOR HIM. YOU LOVE HIM, DON'T YOU?" Draco screamed back at her.

Hermione looked like she had been hit with bludger. It took her several minutes of opening and closing her mouth before she responded. Her voice was quiet but fierce, there was a scary look in her eye that told Draco she meant business, "Listen to me Draco, and listen good because I am not going to have this conversation with you again. Do you understand?" she waited for him to nod that he did and then continued "Any feelings I may or may not have for Harry have nothing to do with us. I have given my mind, body, heart and soul to YOU, Draco. I am in a relationship with YOU, I am in love with YOU, and I am committed to YOU. If that is not enough for YOU, then we have a serious problem."

Draco swallowed hard. He certainly didn't see that coming. That was a very Slytherin thing of her to do. He sat thinking furiously about what she said. She didn't deny that she had feelings for Harry, she didn't lie, she put it all on Draco to decide if her love was enough for him. Shit. Now what was he supposed to do. She's given him everything he could ask for from a girl. He would look like a complete ass if he said it wasn't enough.

Hermione cleared her throat and asked "Well Draco, is what I have to offer enough for you or not?"

He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Yes, of course, Mia. I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking." said Draco.

"Then we agree that we will slowly acclimate Harry and Ron to you and our relationship?" asked Hermione

"Yes, but can we agree to tell them by Christmas?" asked Draco

"Yes, I think that sounds like a good plan." replied Hermione

Draco shook his head to rid himself of his memories. He was finally at the hospital wing. He paused, gathering his thoughts, took a deep breath and walked in. He walked over to her bed and found Potter standing by the window looking out. He looked at Mia, god she looked terrible.

"Hey" he said walking over to a chair and sitting down by her bed. "How are you feeling?" he asked

"I'm OK." she replied

He wasn't sure what to say to her so he settled with "My mom said you wanted to see me before I left?"

She sighed "yeah, I thought we should talk a little before you went home. I was kind of emotional this morning and we haven't really had a chance to talk since all of this happened."

He nodded and said "yeah, we haven't"

"Mia..."

"Draco..."

They both started at the same time. They smiled and Draco used his hand to indicate she should go first.

Hermione gathered all of her Gryffindor courage, she was going to need it. She had been going through everything in her head and she just had to get it all out in the open. She took a deep breath and started...

"Draco, I've been thinking non-stop for the last 24 hours. I'm so confused. I know I love you and I know you love me. But I'm not happy with the way things have gone. I'm only 16 and I've had to deal with a pregnancy and now a miscarriage and the possibility of never being able to have children. Never mind the repeated physical abuse and the emotional damage, and that's just considering me."

"We have to worry about more than me if we are going to stay together. What are the consequences of your father finding out?" Hermione looked at Draco and saw him visibly flinch. She continued "We wouldn't even be able to tell him until this war is over. You know better than me what to expect from him. However, what little I know of him from the Department of Mysteries, is that he has no reservations about killing me. Honestly, what do you think he's going to say, 'Well Draco now that you've fallen in love with a mudblood, I'll have to change my ways and welcome her into the family?' You know that's not likely to happen."

"Then there's the fact that we are clearly on opposite sides of this war. Eventually, something has to give. I'm pretty sure that a marriage between a Death Eater and an Order of the Pheonix member is not going to fly with either side. Even ignoring my bloodline, I am not going to change sides and you have little choice in the matter as well, given that your family is on the other side."

Draco was listening intently and was getting more depressed with every word she said. "So you are saying it's over." he replied.

"I don't know Draco. If it were just one thing, maybe we could figure it out, but I don't know how we can deal with so many things working against us." replied Hermione.

"Even if we took a break and waited until the war was over, assuming the light side won and then got back together, we would still have to deal with our issues as a couple. The physical abuse, the possibility that even if I can have children, I may not be able to have YOUR children because of your temper and our blood status. Are you willing to go without children just to be with me? Because I'm not so sure I am. And that's what it really comes down to, our relationship."

"I know Mia, I hear what you are saying, I do. It's just I love you so much, I can't bear to think of my life without you in it. I know I screwed up and I don't deserve you but I don't think I can live without you." Draco said while wiping away the tears that were streaming down his face.

Hermione at this point was sobbing and wiping away her own tears "I know Draco, I know. But I think it's too much for us to fix. It doesn't mean I don't love you, it's just that love isn't enough for us to make this relationship work."

Draco knew he was going to break down soon, so he got up with tears still running down his face and walked over to Hermione. He kissed her forehead and said "I love you, I will ALWAYS love you Mia. Never doubt that." And then he turned away and walked out of the hospital wing trying with all his might to hold in the avalanche of emotions until he got to his room.

Harry had stayed the whole time while they talked, not trusting Malfoy alone with Hermione. He kept his back to them looking out the window, to give them some sense of privacy. He was emotionally drained just from listening to them. He couldn't believe how strong Hermione was during the whole thing. However, as soon as the hospital doors closed behind Malfoy, Hermione lost it. She was sobbing uncontrollably and he walked over to her bed, sat down and gathered her in his arms. There was nothing else he could do. He whispered encouraging words to her every few minutes while she cried. After what seemed like an eternity but was probably only an hour she finally fell asleep, exhausted in his arms. She was so upset that she was still gasping for air every few minutes in her sleep. The sight of this made his heart break. He once again vowed to do everything he could to protect her from now on. He didn't know how but he swore he would never let her hurt like this again.

Harry had dozed off while holding Hermione and was suddenly awoken by Prof. McGonnagell. "Sorry, Harry, but I need to talk to you."

Harry rubbed his eyes, put his glasses back on, checked to make sure Hermione was still asleep, and then quietly said "no problem, Professor, what's going on?"

"I've just returned from visiting Miss Granger's parents to inform them of her condition, and I'm afraid they did not take it very well..." she sighed and then continued "In fact her mother was furious and has insisted upon seeing Miss Granger. As she is not strong enough to travel to them, they will need to come here. This creates some problems as they are muggles. I have spoken with Professor Dumbledore and he has arranged for a port key to bring the Grangers to his office in an hour. We will need to bring Miss Granger to Prof. Dumbledore's office at that time. I need to let Miss Granger know what's going on now as there isn't much time and I'm sure she will want to prepare for this meeting."

"Sure, I understand, Professor." Then Harry started to gently nudge Hermione, while whispering "Hermione, time to wake up" to which Hermione snuggled closer to Harry and hugged him tighter, protesting waking up.

Harry laughed and said "come on Hermione, Professor McGonnagell needs to talk to you" while pushing her hair out of her face.

Hermione groaned and then pushed herself up away from Harry and looked to her Professor, while rubbing her eyes. "Sorry Professor."

"Nonsense Miss Granger, you need your rest. I'm sorry I had to wake you. I have just come from meeting with your parents, as I had to inform them that you were injured and in the hospital."

"What! What did you tell them?" asked Hermione

"I told them that you had been injured and that you were recovering in the hospital wing. That you had internal injuries, blood loss, broken bones, and severe bruising. I also told them that while your injuries were serious, you were expected to make a full recovery. I did not tell them any details of how you were injured or who was responsible and I also did not tell them about your pregnancy, miscarriage and potential fertility issues. I felt that was up to you to decide how much you wanted them to know. It is only my responsibility to let them know that you were injured and that you are recovering. The details are for you to relay, if you choose. That said, as you are not well enough to travel, they will be arriving to see you in one hour in Professor Dumbledore's office."

"One hour, that doesn't give me much time...does it?" said Hermione almost to herself, then she said "Professor, I'm not sure I can walk all the way to Professor Dumbledore's office."

"There is a passageway from the hospital wing that is much shorter. If it's OK with you, I was going to have Mr. Potter escort you along with Madam Pomfrey." replied Prof. McGonnagell

"Yes, that's fine, thank you...Professor, what information are my parents allowed access to? By that I mean, is anything that has occurred within the past two days protected and confidential, even though I am under age?" asked Hermione

"I had a feeling you were going to ask that Miss Granger. Because you are muggleborn, you have a magical guardian, and the guardian is always the head of house. The magical guardian, in this case me, has access to all health information, however, it is up to the magical guardian in consultation with the muggleborn whether or not any information is relayed to the non-magical parents. In the past magical guardians have followed the wishes of the muggleborn, however, if the muggleborn is unable to make this decision, then the magical guardian will make the decision in the best interest of the muggleborn. So Miss Granger, what information are you comfortable telling your parents?" asked Professor McGonnagell

"I honestly don't know. The problem is they are both doctors and they are going to want very specific information about what exactly is wrong with me. They are going to take one look at me and know that it wasn't a fall down the stairs. They are going to want to know where Draco is. They are going to want answers. My mom will insist that I see an outside doctor and probably a shrink as well. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to take me home." said Hermione

"But I think if I tell them what happened with Draco, about the abuse and the fight and explain that our magic sort of exploded around us and that caused my injuries, I'm telling them the truth. I won't tell them about the pregnancy unless I have to but I still think that they can know about all my injuries without that info. They can just be told that I suffered injuries to my reproductive organs and we won't know for a while if the damage if permanent. All the other stuff is fine for them to know about. I would just rather not have to talk about the pregnancy and miscarriage if it can be avoided. I think I'll tell them in time, just not now. Does that seem like a good plan to you?"

"Yes, Miss Granger, it does. I understand your reluctance to discuss your pregnancy and respect your decision. I will let Madam Pomfrey know and she will come and get you and Mr. Potter in a little bit to take you up to Professor Dumbledore's office."

"Thanks Professor" replied Hermione.

"You're awfully quiet Harry, what are you thinking about?"

"You. How complicated this all is. How you must be feeling. How much I wish I could make it all go away and protect you" replied Harry.

"Oh, Harry. Thank you." said Hermione as she gave Harry a hug and a kiss on the cheek, earning a blush from him.

She laughed and then said "Really Harry, Thank you for everything. I don't know how I could have gotten through all of this without you."

"Hermione, you're my best friend, I would do anything for you. There's no where else I would rather be than here with you." and he gave her a hug back, kissing her forehead. "Now why don't you try and close your eyes for a little while, I think we have at least a half hour before we have to go."

"OK, that sounds good to me, Harry" and she snuggled up against him again and closed her eyes.

A half hour later Madam Pomfrey was at Hermione's bedside to wake her up and had her take several potions before they left. Hermione refused to let Madam Pomfrey levitate her to Professor Dumbledore's office, so she was forced to lean on Harry for support through the shortcut that took them to the stone Gargoyle and then again for help up the stairs and to her seat in the office. Unfortunately for her, her parents were already there when she arrived and the walk had really done a number on her, so she looked terrible.

Her parents immediately came to her and wrapped her in hugs and gave her kisses, asking if she was alright. She hugged her parents and cried and nodded her head that she was OK. Finally, everyone settled into their chairs and Professor Dumbledore introduced Madam Pomfrey, who gave an overview of Hermione's injuries and her recovery so far. When she was finished, Mrs. Granger asked at least a dozen very specific questions, as Hermione knew she would. She then turned to Hermione and said "Hermione, we need to know how this all happened. Just looking at you, I'm pretty sure this was caused by Draco and especially since he's not here right now. What happened?"

Hermione explained to her parents that when she returned to school, Draco had become increasingly jealous of Harry and that they were fighting all the time. Some of their fights were really bad and he had hit her several times. They had talked about it and Draco was trying to work on controlling his temper but this last fight was so much worse than all the others. It didn't help that she had also lost her temper. Before either of them knew what was happening they were both thrown several feet back in the air, in a sort of magical explosion. That's how she ended up in the hospital. She then explained that her and Draco talked earlier and ended their relationship, saying it was just too bad to fix.

After many tears and hugs Mrs. Granger turned to Dumbledore and said "first, I would like for you to ask Mrs. Malfoy and Draco to join us here now." She stopped and waited for him to ask a house elf to fetch them and then she continued "would you care to explain to me, how all of this happened in your school without you ever knowing?"

Professor Dumbledore stared back at her speechless, he hadn't expected Hermione's mom to get angry with him, no he certainly hadn't expected that.

Mrs. Granger continued on "I sent my daughter here in September, she was happy, healthy and in love and now it appears that she has been physically abused for months, all the while no one noticed?"

Professor Dumbledore tried to speak but he was cut off by Mrs. Granger. It was quite scary how much like Hermione she was. Harry felt himself visibly flinching with each word she spoke. She hadn't raised her voice but her words were fierce and it was clear she meant business.

There was a knock on the door and Narcissa and Draco entered and took seats.

Mrs. Granger continued, "on top of being physically abused, it's obvious that she was pregnant, and again no one noticed? Or did you just think that her mother, her guardian, didn't need to know such information?"

"Mom, I never said I was pregnant..." whispered Hermione

"You didn't have to dear, I'm a doctor and I know the signs and I also know that one of the main complications of a miscarriage is future infertility. I know that you and Draco were in love Hermione, but I thought you were smart enough to not put yourself in this situation."

"Mom you don't understand..." Hermione began but Draco cut her off saying "No Mrs. Granger it wasn't her fault, it was mine."

"Really, Draco, how do you come to that conclusion? Did you rape her?"

"NO, of course not..."

"Then you are both responsible as far as I am concerned. Hermione, we talked about this over the summer and you promised me you would be safe, that you would make sure that you always protected yourself. You said there were spells and potions you could use, that's why we didn't put you on the pill. I know that sometimes in the heat of the moment things can be forgotten but surely you could have gotten the equivalent of the morning after pill. Honestly, Hermione, you could have told me and I could have had your doctor write a prescription for it and I would have sent it to you. It would have only taken a day and it would have been effective."

"Mum, please, can we not do this here?" begged Hermione

"No, Hermione, you need to deal with the consequences of your actions." Mrs. Granger then turned back to Professor Dumbledore and addressed him. "Now, here's what is going to need to happen for Hermione to stay here at your school: First, she will be assigned a guardian while she is here that will keep an eye on her and give me updates."

"I am Miss Granger's magical guardian" said Professor McGonnagell

"Really, and were you here the last few months? Because I don't believe you did a very good job of keeping an eye on my daughter." said Mrs. Granger

"MOM" yelled Hermione

"No, I've had enough, Hermione. You are underage and you clearly aren't making good choices, you can either come home with us, stay here with some strict rules, or we could transfer you to another magical school." Mrs. Granger said staring her daughter down.

"Now as I was saying, Hermione will need a different magical guardian that will keep an eye on her and give me weekly updates. Second, she will need to see a Psychiatrist weekly..."

"I'm sorry, she will need to see a what?" asked Prof. Dumbledore and McGonnagell at the same time.

"A Psychiatrist, surely you have magical shrinks don't you?"

"Mom, doctors are called healers in the magical world." said Hermione and then she turned to the Professors and said "A Psychiatrist is a muggle doctor that specializes in mental health."

"Right, well are there healers that are familiar with muggle psychiatric medicine?"

Prof. Dumbledore then said, "I'm sure Madam Pomfrey will be able to look after Miss Granger just fine..."

"You mean like she has been all this time? I don't think you are all understanding me...Hermione WILL NOT stay here unless these things are done. I have no trust in this school anymore or anyone who works here. My daughter is too important to leave this in your hands. You will do what I am asking, or she will leave here with me today. It's up to you" said a very angry Mrs. Granger.

"Mom, please, you can't take me home, I'm a witch I can't go to muggle school. It's part of who I am, please, mom." begged Hermione.

"I know being a witch is a part of who you are Hermione, that's why I contacted the head of that French magical school, Beauxbauton earlier before I arrived by port key. They told me that they would accept you as a transfer student tomorrow if that's what we wanted to do. Apparently, you are well known for your brilliance and they were thrilled to offer you a spot. So, Professor Dumbledore, is Hermione going to stay here or not?"

"Of course she is going to stay here, Albus!" yelled Prof. McGonnagell

Prof. Dumbledore sighed in defeat, he clearly wasn't going to win this battle. "Madam Pomfrey, would you please go to St. Mungo's and see if they have someone on staff that meets Mrs. Granger's requirements and that can meet with Miss Granger weekly?" said Prof. Dumbledore.

"Certainly." said Madam Pomfrey

Harry was floored, he had never seen anyone speak to Prof. Dumbledore that way before. Mrs. Granger was a little scary and Harry was glad he hadn't done anything to make her mad at him.

"Thank you. I would like to meet this healer myself today before I leave." replied Mrs. Granger. Then she turned back to Prof. Dumbledore "Now about that magical guardian..."

"Yes, I believe I may have a couple of people that may be able to step in, that do not work in the school. Let me see if they can come here now." and then he wrote a small note and called a house elf to deliver it adding "please see if they can accompany you back here to Hogwarts."

Mrs. Granger then turned to Draco and started to speak but Mr. Granger cut her off saying "No, dear I think I'll take this one." giving Draco the evil eye. "You, Draco, will stay away from my daughter. I don't want you spending time with her, talking to her, HELL, I don't even want you looking at her. You will NOT hurt my daughter again, IS THAT CLEAR?"

Draco mumbled something and nodded.

"I asked IS THAT CLEAR?" yelled Mr. Granger

"Yes" said Draco loud enough for all to hear.

"Good. I expect in our weekly reports from our newly appointed magical guardian to be told if these two are not abiding by this new rule." said Mr. Granger to the Professors.

Suddenly, the house elf was back with three people, Tonks, Lupin and Sirius, who looked very confused. Sirius ran straight to Harry and asked him if he was OK.

"Yes, I'm fine, Sirius" said Harry.

"What's going on Albus?" asked Lupin

"Miss Grangers parents have asked that she be given a new magical guardian to look after her and to report back to them weekly. They would like someone that is not employed by the school as there have been some issues in the past couple of months." said Professor Dumbledore

"Some issues is a gross understatement" replied Mr. Granger

"I thought that maybe you or Sirius might be able to help us out and be Miss Granger's magical guardian." continued Prof. Dumbledore

"Um, excuse me Professor Dumbledore" said Hermione

"Yes?"

"I mean no disrespect to you Professor Lupin, or you Sirius, but all of this is quite personal and I'm not sure I would feel comfortable discussing certain things with you." Hermione paused for a minute and then continued "I would prefer it if Tonks could be my guardian...would you consider doing this Tonks?"

"Me? But you've known Remus and Sirius so much longer..." replied Tonks, clearly touched.

"Yes, but I would prefer it if my guardian was a woman, and I trust you Tonks" replied Hermione genuinely.

"Oh, of course then, I would be glad to help." said Tonks

"Perfect" said Mrs. Granger. "Now, I would like for you to meet with Hermione at least once a week and talk about how things are going with her and also meet with her healer to get updates. Then if you could meet with us and give us a summary of where things stand and Hermione's overall status, it would be great. Is that something that you think you can do? I mean, I'm sure you have a job but this is quite important to us."

"I don't foresee any problems. I'm an Auror so I'm at St. Mungo's all the time, I could get an update from her healer while I'm there and it's no trouble at all to stop in at Hogwarts and check up on Hermione. Hermione, we can sit down and figure out some times that work for the both of us for me to come see you" replied Tonks.

There was a knock on the door and Madam Pomfrey entered with a middle aged man following behind her. "This is Healer Dr. Brown, I believe he fits the criteria we were looking for." said Madam Pomfrey

Mrs. Granger stood up and walked over to Dr. Brown and shook his hand saying "it's nice to meet you Dr. Brown, I am Dr. Granger, Hermione's mother and this is my husband who is also a doctor." Mr. Granger then got up and shook Dr. Brown's hand.

"Thank you, it's nice to meet you as well. Now I only have a little bit of information but I understand you are looking for a healer that also has experience with psychiatry?"

"Yes, that's correct. Tell me a little bit about yourself and where you studied medicine."

"I am a muggle born and am originally from America. I had always wanted to be a doctor so after I finished wizarding school, I pursued first my Bachelor's degree and then my medical degree at an Ivy League. I then did an internship and residency in Psychiatry and once I finished I decided to also become a healer. I thought I could bring what I had learned to the wizarding world as it is surprisingly behind the times when it comes to mental health. My education to become both a doctor and a healer took me 16 years" answered Dr. Brown.

"But enough about me, I have come to meet Miss Hermione Granger" he said as he walked over to Hermione and offered his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Granger."

Hermione shook his hand and said "you, as well."

"Now there seems to be a lot of people in here that care about you, would everyone mind introducing themselves?" asked Dr. Brown

Everyone went around briefly introducing themselves: Hermione, Mr and Mrs Granger, Madam Pomfrey, Prof. Lupin, Tonks, Sirius, Harry, Prof. McGonnagell, Prof. Dumbledore, Narcissa, and finally Draco.

Dr. Brown walked over to Draco and offered his hand and then said "Mr. Malfoy, I think it would do you just as much good as Miss Granger to meet with me weekly as well. That is of course if you are interested."

Narcissa replied "Do you think he should?"

"Yes, even without having all the details, I believe that he will be going through many of the same things as Miss Granger." said Dr. Brown. "Obviously, I would see them separately and anything they say to me would remain in confidence and would not be shared with the other or anyone else unless I have their permission."

"Dr. Brown, we would like weekly updates on Hermione and we would like her magical guardian Miss Tonks to be able to get updates as well. How can this be done if what Hermione says remains confidential?" asked Mrs. Granger

"I will in fact give you and Miss Tonks weekly updates but it will be general information relating to her current state, such as she's having a really hard week, or I've noticed her mental state has declined, but not what she tells me. In doing things this way, I am able to give you a general idea of how she is doing without breaking her trust and revealing exactly what she's said. The same would apply to Mr. Malfoy if he chooses to meet with me as well." finished Dr. Brown

"Now I would like to speak with Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy in private for a few minutes before I meet with each family individually." said Dr. Brown

Mr. Granger jumped up and said "absolutely not, I don't want him anywhere near my daughter!"

"I understand Mr. Granger, but I need to speak to the both of them together in private to see where things stand between them so that I can formulate a treatment plan that will work. It will only take a couple of minutes" said Dr. Brown patiently.

Hermione got up and said "Dad it's OK, I'm fine." and walked over to Dr. Brown as did Draco. Prof. Dumbledore lead them to a small sitting room off of his office and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, everyone started asking questions at the same time. Sirius, Lupin and Tonks were asking Harry what was going on. Mr and Mrs. Granger were talking to Narcissa about how this all happened. While, Madam Pomfrey, Prof. McGonnagell and Prof. Dumbledore were talking about how they were going to keep an eye on Hermione and Draco and also ensure they made their weekly appointments at St. Mungo's and meet with their guardians. It was a lot to do but Prof. McGonnagell was just happy she wasn't going to lose her favorite student.


Author's Note: For my fellow Harry and Hermione fans, I promise it's coming soon...
