When they arrived Poppy had her back to them putting basic healing potions on the bedside tables. Remus put Hermione on one prepared bed while Kingsley put Sirius on the other.

"Put them on the beds. You said it was an emergency Albus, what happ…" Madam Pomphry trailed off. "Albus, is that..?"

"Yes Poppy, that is indeed Sirius Black."

"But…Albus, he…he died"

"Yes, but thanks to Miss. Granger, he's not."

Poppy set her features and sent a look to the Headmaster a look that would make a lesser man tremble. She spoke in a stony voice, "You WILL explain to me what happen. After I make sure these two are in the best condition I can get them in." With that she started over to her patient. After looking over at Remus and seeing Mooney was looking over Hermione and that she would be fine for the moment, she started looking over Sirius.

Off to the side Kingsley and Albus were discussing their next move. "We need to call an Order meeting."

"Yes, Kingsley, that would be prudent. It is a little after one now. I say five this evening would give everyone plenty of time to make arrangements."

"I'll go send the owls and tell the members still here. After that I must return to the Ministry." With that Kingsley left the infirmary.

Albus conjured an over stuffed chair to set in. He watched poppy work in Sirius and mutter to herself.

Madam Pomphry's POV:

I set my features and sent a look to Albus that makes even the bravest Gryffindor tremble. I spoke in a low cold tone, "You WILL explain to me what happen. After I make sure these two are in the best condition I can get them in." With that I started over to my patients. After looking over at Remus and seeing Mooney was looking over Hermione and that she would be fine for the moment, I started looking over Sirius.

What was that man thinking?! Letting that young girl do something to bring back a dead man!

I run all the diagnostic spells I know. My only findings are that he is dehydrated, sleep deprived and his magical core is depleted. I gave him a hydrating potion for that is all I can do. I cast a charm on him to alert me if anything changes then head over Mooney and Hermione.

As I approach Mooney looks up and growls. "Mooney, I need to check her. I need to make sure everything is fine on the inside. I need to check for things you might have missed."

"She is exhausted. Coming back from the dead does that to one so young Poppy." Mooney said as he let Hermione go and stepped to the end of the bed.

"Albus mentioned something like that." I said in the same stony tone I used earlier.

I started my diagnostics but something was off. "Oh my!"

"What is it Poppy?" Remus/Mooney asks in a concerned tone. "What is wrong with my pup?"

"Poppy, is Miss. Granger alright?" Said Albus as he rose and walked over.

"That's just it. She isn't Miss. Granger." I said the spell and what appeared above her shocked even Albus.

I looked at Albus whose eyes were twinkling more that it has in a long time. I looked back at what was floating above her. There written out was HERMIONE JANE LUPIN. When I looked at Remus he had the biggest smile and was tearing up.

"Is there anything wrong with Miss. Lupin?" Albus asked emphasizing Hermione's new last name.

"Yes. She is exhausted physically and magically. Other than that nothing is wrong. There are no internal or external injuries. All we can do is let both of them rest. Sirius is the same, but is dehydrated as well. All we can do is wait. In the mean time, they need some privacy. Let me move them into one of the rooms."

"I'll move my pup." Stated Remus/Mooney as he lifted her and started walking to the back of the room near my office. I levitate Sirius back.

I turned to Albus as Remus settled into a chair beside Hermione's bed. "You will explain what happened Albus."

"Very well." Albus said as we walked to my office, and I charmed clean bed cloths onto the used beds as we walk by.

Back at Grimmauld Place

"Does any one know where 'Mione is?" Harry asked as he came into kitchen. "She isn't in the Library, Sitting room or her room."

"Remus took her to the Ministry dear," Molly answered, "she had a meeting planed."

"What did she have a meeting about? And why didn't she tell us?" Ron said sounding irritated.

"Obviously Weasley, that is none of your concern," drawled Severus. "If your involvement was warranted you would have been informed." Ron looked like he was about to argue, but was silenced with a raised eyebrow from Snape.

"Don't worry Ron. If we need to know she will tell us", Harry said. "If she needs our help she'll ask for it."

"What if she gets in trouble and needs us to get her out!" Ron started to argue. Severus snorted at this while Harry just rolled his eyes.

"If she is put in danger we will know" said Molly. "We have the clock, both ours and the Orders."

"If it bothers you that much just go watch the clocks Ron, besides it's usually Hermione saving us." Harry stated mater-of-factly. "You know with out her we never would have made it to the end of our first year alive. She even helped us while she was petrified. With out her we would be dead at least three times over, not counting the final battle. We only saved her once, in first year, and I believe she wouldn't have been in that situation if not for you. She even told you how to do it. So Ron, don't start doubting her now."

Molly gasped when Harry said they would be dead. Those three never really talk about their adventures to anyone but each other. The still hint about things, so people can only guess what they are talking about from the rumors they had heard. They have shared some things but not many. At least they were opening up though. She was just hoping some of the stories were exaggerated greatly.

Snape was smirking and watching with a look of cool disinterest. He had seen some of the 'adventures' they had while teaching them occlemency. He also knew that while Ron had helped them out with the chess set during first year and a few strategies for the final battle, he mostly caused trouble and put himself and others in harms way. While he had begrudgingly come to respect Hermione and Harry, he never would Weasley.

"Fine," yelled Ron, "but if she gets herself killed don't say I didn't warn you." With that he stomped out of the room to find someplace to sulk.

'If you only knew' thought Severus as he watched the youngest Weasley male sulk out of the room.

"That boy, I don't know what's gotten into him lately'" Said Mrs. Weasley. "He has been acting particular lately."

"Ron's been like that for awhile now Mrs… Molly. Since about a month into hiding, before Snape showed up anyway." Harry stated shaking his head. 'I just wish I knew what was going on,' he thought. 'He gets mad every time Hermione starts talking to Remus. I think he's jealous. Well, he always has been a bit possessive and 'Mione is no exception. He is not good enough for my sister.'

"Agreed Harry," Snape whispered as he rose to leave the room. "Thank you for the tea Molly," he said louder.

"Won't you eat something Severus?"

"No Molly I'm fine." With that he swept from the room.

Harry smiled ruefully. 'Should have known he would listen in,' he thought. 'He knew I was upset with Ron over 'Mione, and he doesn't like Ron anyway, so he couldn't resist. I need to work on keeping my shields up. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Snape knows just about everything about us.'

"Thank you for the snack Molly."

"You're welcome Harry dear."

Harry's Point of View:

I find Ron in the sitting room with a smug smile on his face looking at the far wall. The clock is on its side table on its back. He states "I was right."

"What?"

"I was right. She is in mortal danger." He points the clock, "Have a look yourself. It's only her though. I told you we should have…"

He fades out as I look at the clock. 'Dead. She's gone. My sister. My best friend, she's gone.' Everything comes back in a rush.

"…Next time she'll lis…"

"No."

"Yeah your right. She thinks she knows…"

"There won't be a next time." I say with a dead voice.

"Oh! Are you going to lock Miss High and…"

"Shut up Ron." I hiss in a dangerous voice.

"What's wrong with you? Mad she left you behind?"

"No I'm not. Ron she…" I started in a sad tone.

"Yes you are! You're jealous she is the one on the adventure while the great Harry…"

"Stop while you're ahead."

"Or What?!" He stands. "Are you going to draw your wand on me Harry? You and Hermione think you are so much better than AHHH!"

I have him disarmed, bound to the wall and silenced all before he had his wand completely out. His eyes widen and he starts struggling as soon as he realizes what has happened.

"Never pull your wand on me again." My voice is cold and my eyes are hard. He nods his head still frightened.

"Potter, as much as I would love nothing more than to finish what you are about to do. Sadly I must tell you to lower your wand."

I don't.

"Lower your wand or I'll be forced to disarm you."

"Look at the clock Severus." I say looking back to see him in the middle of the room not far from the chair Ron just vacated. "Look in his mind and see what he said, see his true thoughts. Then tell me to lower my wand."

"I already know what he truly thinks about you and Hermione. She told me what she is doing. I do not know everything that is to happen. However, I do know that all is not as it appears."

"The clock doesn't lie."

"It might be mistaken. Put your wand away and we will adjourn to the library. You can leave Weasley like he is. Possibly with a note explaining so no one removes the enchantments, or disillusion him."

I put my wand away, "I'll just leave him like he is. To the library then." Severus summons the clock as we walk out the door, while Molly walks toward us.

"Order meeting in about an hour and a half."

"Thank you Molly, we will see you then" Severus replied. "By the way if you would kindly leave your youngest male offspring in his current predicament until the meeting it would much appreciated."

"What did you do Severus?"

"Molly I assure you I did nothing. Weasley needs to learn to hold his tongue and to keep his wand sheathed in polite company."

"What did Ronald do?" Molly asked in a low tone.

"Disrespecting Hermione and myself, spouting lies and drawing his wand on me." I say while looking her in the eye.

"That is putting it mildly." Snape snorts. Molly looks at him with a question in here eyes. "Later." He said. With that we walk off.

When we reach the Library I slump in one of the chairs, the pain coming back to me. "Explain."

"I can't tell you much Harry. She told me not to. I can tell you it is dangerous." He holds up his hand to hold off my question. " I can say that she knows what she is doing, and in the end she will be alive and healthy."

"You know what se is doing?"

"Yes."

"Even though the clock says she is d…d…dead she will be fine?" I choke out.

"Yes."

After he says that I lose it. I start crying. The clock says she is dead but Severus says she is fine. I hope he is right. After I calm down we sat in silence for a while until there is a knock at the door.

"Enter." Severus answers.

Molly pokes her head in the door. "The Order should start arriving soon."

"Thank you Molly. We will be down shortly." Snape told her.

"May I speak with you a minute Severus." Snape walks out of the room and closes the door. I imagine he is telling her what happened earlier because I hear, "WHAT?! RONALAD BILIUS WEASLEY YOU ARE LUCKY I CAN'T GET TO YOU RIGHT NOW! IF I Could…" she trails off as I hear her marching away.

"You warded the room." I state more than ask Snape as he enters the room again.

"Yes. I considered the options, entertainment won out."

"So when the Order arrives?" I ask.

"Yes. After the majority of them, but not before his all his siblings, arrive. It should… inspire, the gruesome twosome." He says with an evil smirk and a gleam in his eye.

I smirk, "so you're leaving him at the mercy of the twins?"

"And Miss. Weasley."

I laugh. "Never let them say you are going soft."

"Quite, now it is time to go downstairs to watch the show."

"Now we couldn't miss that could we." I say as we head to the kitchen.

AN: I know it has been forever, sorry. I won't offer any excuse, I just hope you bear with me. The good news for you and bad news for me is I am pretty sick. I have been stuck in bed so you get an update. My longest one yet.

Story Notes:

I believe the infirmary has one or two extra rooms big enough to fix about five people each. Room built for quarantine, just in case some one got Dragon Pox or something else that didn't need to be spread.

Snape trained the Trio in Occlumency and Legemency. Thus, he has been in there minds numerous times so they are use to it and think nothing of it. They are great at feeling other people's 'mind probe', its just they are familiar/comfortable/don't mind Snape's. They know he will not use it against them. Well, maybe he will against Ron, because he just doesn't like Ron.

Ron didn't notice she was gone until the ordeal was almost over, about an hour after she left. Both confutations with Ron took a little over an hour. Mrs. Weasley received the about the time Ron was pinned to the wall. She finished up in the kitchen then went to find them.
