Hermione had to talk to some one and fast she concluded that Harry was a big N-O, Ginny; maybe, Ronald: bloody hell no. Her parents were defiantly out of the question. But then it had hit her, she could talk to Dumbledore about this. Hermione hadn't seen Dumbledore since the final battle, which ironically had also been graduation day. The side of good had triumphed; Harry had been the one destroy Voldemort for good.
Hermione knew she if there was anyone to be best confined in it was Albus Dumbledore.
You see it wasn't just the painting that bothered Hermione but it was her own subconscious that has been scaring her for a good while now, actually 'for a good while' would have to be one of the biggest lies she ever told, ever since the near end of the her fifth year at Hogwarts; she's been having dreams…nightmares of a horrible man; to Hermione this horrible man would have or could have actually made Tom Riddle look like a saint. She never told anyone about it, Hermione felt like she couldn't it at all, it was war time and her focus had to on helping Harry; Hermione could not risk any forms of mental distractions. Hermione had forced herself to take dreamless potions, just so that man couldn't get to her more.
Hermione tried to keep taking the potion with forming some addiction to it, or worse being depended on it; she hated doing it to herself however the more Hermione took the potion; the more her body had grown immune to the affects of the potion.
Hermione had to get to Dumbledore and now, there were no other options for her. Hermione packed some of possessions, as well some of Regina's books and the painting to discuss with Dumbledore in addition. After making sure she had everything, Hermione had left with a 'pop' and was on her way to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry.

Oh the things he would do to her once he was free, all the truly mattered to Vilmos Warlock was succeeding in his goal and there was no one who could stop him, his enemies Regina and Sirius are dead, Black's descendent was dead and soon, Regina's 'wannbe' will be his, for she is the key goal of his plan; she whom will give him the heir who will be powerful and through that heir he shall will rule both the muggle and the wizarding world.
You see Vilmos Warlock was no fool, he knew of the rarities of powerful magic that runs half-blood children, it was the research of his father; a pureblood fanatic yes; so could you could just imagine the reaction of that particular piece of information. Vilmos didn't need to research it, he already had the proof and she was Regina Granger, and fellow student of Hogwarts.
Regina was nothing but an obsessive know it all mudblood, who couldn't keep her head out of books nor couldn't she stop putting her hand in the air. And of course she never had any form of friends at all. The witches hated her for she was a natural beauty and didn't need to constantly check her face, while the wizards couldn't put up with her because she intimidated them and could out class anybody in the academics, as Vilmos bearded in mind of Regina, he also remembered how she kept to only herself, well until that traitor 'best mate' of his came along and had become nothing but an obstacle in his path.
Vilmos shaking his head to rid himself of the thoughts of Regina and Sirius; an evil grin appeared to his lips as he tighten the grip on his wand, an object Regina never did think of disarming him of.
With the archway weakening, its hold of him was loosening "soon my dear mudblood soon"

"What do these dreams of your entail Ms. Granger?" asked Professor Dumbledore as he sat at his desk, with his moon-shaped glasses on his face.
"They are not dreams!" Hermione snapped.
"I do apologize Ms. Granger" replied the old wizard
"I don't how it started, but I can tell you professor it started, the night of…Sirius' death. I was in the chamber of where the veil was and there Sirius was on the ground and I couldn't tell if he was alive or dead" forming tears had begun to sting her eyes and there was this voice a man's voice; at first I thought it was Voldemort but it wasn't, I didn't even know this man, he was laughing at me, at Sirius, mocking , no not mocking he was gloating on how Sirius couldn't save me and then I felt his horrible excuse of man put his arms on, from behind" Hermione's tears falling down her face. "and that's when Sirius staring coming too, 'Hermione' he mumbled, I screamed to him for help, but that evil man, was dragging me away he got up as fast as he could, my arms were reached for Sirius to grab, but somehow I was always out of reach of him." Hermione stopped to take a breath, "I remember he threw me hard on the ground and he pulled his wand on Sirius; I think when I was thrown to the ground my head had to hit the grounder harder, cause I was aware of how inattentive I was; but I think he used some form of barrier spell that kept Sirius out, and then this 'monster', turned to me, after I was thrown, I kind of landed on my side and he rolled me on to my back; and I hear Sirius screaming and banging on the barrier. That 'monster' had me pinned to the ground; I couldn't even reach my wand. I was so powerless against him and then I'd always wake up before he ra..."
Hermione now facing the floor and keeping her eyes in that one direction as Hermione couldn't even say the word; she may not have seen but she heard Dumbledore get up from his chair. Soon Hermione was taken into an embrace; Dumbledore hugged his former student, hugging her like a parent would their wounded child. She didn't say anything, how could she didn't see it coming; all she could do was hug in return.
After the hug was broken Dumbledore, "Ms. Granger, how about we hold off the rest of this meeting, and you get some well deserved rest. And with that said, Dumbledore himself had escorted Hermione to the school's infirmary where he instructed Madame Pomfry to give Hermione a new type of sleeping potion. And thanks to that potion Hermione slept for almost a week, which was more then she has ever gotten in a long time.
