Recap: Jane has a flashback remembering how Ginger and Shy-Anne came to be. And she wonders if they have returned.
Chapter 7
Evil Surfaces
It had been 6 months since the wedding and life seemed to be fine. Ron went back to work at the ministry and Hermione stated working at the law firm Jones, Murray and Smith. Because Hermione studied both muggle and wizard law this was the perfect place for her to work as this firm handled both worlds. Ginger and Shy-Anne had been somewhat quiet. Ginger still came out when ever Ron and Hermione argued making the argument much worse. But after a few minutes of interfering, Ginger would be exhausted. She was still bound by Hermione's magic, but the binds were getting weaker each time she interfered. Shy-Anne, who was not a threat to Hermione or Hermione's loved ones was not bound, would then try and repair the damage that Ginger had done. Shy-Anne kept the balance so that Ron and Hermione would not fall apart. As before Hermione was still unaware of Ginger and Shy-Anne's existence.
Hermione was on her way home. She was so excited. Her first big case, she had finally gotten her first big case. No more traffic tickets and nonsense about proper broom use. She would be defending a muggle who was accused of murdering her husband. She believed in her client, this was an innocent woman. The trail was to be held in London and as it was a muggle trail she would have to stay in London until it was over. Mr. Jones reminded Hermione that she would not be able to use her magic at all while on this case. It was one of the rules of being a lawyer in both worlds. In the depths of her mind Ginger was making plans to be free of Hermione's bond. She would take over this body. She did not want any one to suspect anything until she could figure out how to rid this body of Hermione and Shy-Anne.
Ron had big news when he got home. He had finally gotten a big mission. There was a ring of wizards that were thought to be selling dangerous, dark artifacts to muggles. Then when the artifacts nearly killed the person they would offer to take it back at a higher cost than they had sold it to them for. His mission would take him to the continent, the ministry wanted to catch them in the act.
Hermione told Ron about her case and Ron told Hermione about his mission. They hated that they maybe apart for a week or more but both of them know that it was a chance to advance their careers. Plus with the advancement came the possibility of one of them quitting their job when they decided to have children in the future. Hermione had made reservations at the Golden Broom so that they could celebrate. They had a good laugh when Ron told Hermione that he had also made reservations there for them too. After a great dinner and some dancing the couple returned home to celebrate in a more private way. Ron made love to his wife for half of the night. As Ron fell asleep, Hermione went to sleep as well. Shy-Anne got up and packed bags for both of them. She knew that Ron would not remember half of what he needed to take on his trip. And Hermione would pack too much. She packed two weeks of clothes for each of them, just in case either case went longer then suspected. After she was all done, she curled back in the bed with Ron and let Hermione's body rest.
As suspected the stack out took longer than they thought. Ron and his partner, Draco, were keeping an eye on the wizards in question. They had been in the field for two weeks now. Ron missed Hermione terribly. He had not received a letter from her in over a week. Hew was starting to get really worried. Draco snapped at Ron "Hey, I need you to focus here, your wife is fine, Ron. She is the brightest witch of this age remember." "I know that Hermione is just as comfortable in the muggle world as she is in this one, but I can't help but feel something is wrong." Draco tried to reassure his friend, it helped a little.
The two had made a truce when they entered the Auror academy. The truce soon turned into a friendship when Ron walked in to the shower to find Draco cornered by three other cadets. They had beaten him to a pulp and were just about to rape him with Ron stopped them. He made sure that the three cadets were sent off to Azkaban. He also helped Draco keep up with his written work while he recovered in the hospital. Ron wanted to believe his friend but something was still bothering him. Just as Ron was about to go and owl his wife, to check if she was ok, they got the break in the case they needed. The two wizards they had been watching for the last week were selling a cursed bracelet to a young man. If the man gave the bracelet to his wife it would make her believe that he was cheating on her no matter what he said or did. The curse would continue to affect the wife until she killed her husband or the bracelet was removed. The two wizards that were caught agreed to give the names of the others in their ring for a lighter sentence. After two weeks the pair were finally able to return home. Ron hurried through his report and rushed home hoping to see Hermione waiting for him. But to his great disappointment all he found was a letter from his wife saying that she would not be writing to him until the case was over. One of the jurors had spoke to the press about the case. The judge now had everyone involved with the case sequestered. It would take at least a week to find a juror to replace the one who had talked. Ron knew that he could not visit his wife now with out causing more of a problem for her. He had been given a week off to visit with his wife, but instead he would visit his family.
Ginger had done it! She had finally been able to free herself form the binds that had kept her imprisoned inside of Hermione's mind. She could finally control Hermione's body again. The fact that the trial was running long than the original two weeks had helped a lot. You see as long as Hermione was using her magic, the binds were renewed. But because she had not used her magic in almost a month Ginger had been able to free herself completely. Ginger thought that her plans were coming together nicely. She would not put her plan into action until it was safe to do magic. Yes, Ginger knew magic. While Shy-Anne slept the 7 years at Hogwarts Ginger studied right alongside Hermione. Ginger could not wait until this whole sham of a trial was over, so she could get ride of Shy-Anne and Hermione. She did not want anyone to suspect that Ginger was back, not that anyone but their cow of a mother and dumb as dirt father knew. Ginger wanted to keep it that way. She allowed Hermione to continue to control their body while they were still in the muggle world. Ginger could not figure out how to get the two goody-goodies out of this body without destroying them all. She could not let Hermione know that she was there. Hermione knew about Shy-Anne now. But she thought Shy-Anne was that still small voice that kept her on the right path. Ginger could still hid behind Shy-Anne, it was not time to get rid of her yet, also Ginger had found out that because of Shy-Anne being the child like innocence of Hermione's mind if she was hurt or removed, they would all die. The same would happen if Ginger or Hermione were removed. They were bonded together in such a way that they could not live without each other.
Ginger always waited until the end of the day when Hermione had been escorted back to her hotel, ate and showered before taking over the body for the night. She had found a way to get Shy-Anne to sleep when she was in control. That way the little snitch could not make Hermione aware of her presents. Shy-Anne still believed that Ginger was bound. As the goody-goodies slept, Ginger searched through magic books that she had hidden in their suitcase. She just had to find a way to get rid of those two. She found some very interesting dark spells that she may have use for later but nothing that she could use to merge or kill Hermione and Shy-Anne. Yes, she was willing to kill them if it meant she did not have to share this body with them any more. During the day Hermione continue to fight for her client and at night Ginger continue to study book after book of spells.
It took another two weeks to finish the case. After a month and a half Hermione could go home to her husband. Not only did she could she go home she had won her first big case. She decided not to tell Ron she was coming home, it would be a surprise.
Mr. Jones met Hermione at the train station. "Great Job, Mrs. Granger-Weasley. If you keep winning case like that you will make partner in two years!" Mr. Jones said enthusiastically. "Thank you, sir," Hermione said feeling a little proud of herself. "Your husband has been by the office almost every day asking how you are doing. I guess he misses his wife a bit," chuckled Mr. Jones. The partners and I have deiced to give you two weeks off so you can spend some quality time together." "That is very generous of you Mr. Jones. But Ron still has to go to work at the ministry of Magic. He is an Auror, so I don't know if he can just take time off like that," Hermione stated somewhat sadly. With a big smile, Mr. Jones said, "I thought about that so I called in a few favors, and had your husband assigned to take care of one of our most promising up-and coming attorney. She is going to be in a secret location at 155 Happy Home Lane." Hermione laughed at the fact that Mr. Jones just told her the address to her home. Shy-Anne could not contain herself and hugged Mr. Jones. Hermione shocked at the reaction, quickly pulled away. Mr. Jones just chuckled, and told Hermione he would have a case for her to work on after her holiday.
Hermione rushed home to prepare for Ron's arrival. She cooked his favorite dinner, set the table and put some wine aside to chill. When everything was perfect downstairs she went upstairs and took a shower. She put on a sexy cobalt blue teddy with a matching robe. She dabbed Ron's favorite perfume on her neck and wrist. After she was dressed, she prepared the bedroom. She placed candles around the room and bed. She conjured up some rose petals and spread them across the bed and the floor leading to the bed. Just as she finished with the bedroom she heard the sounds of the front door being opened. She hurried down the stairs stopping at the bottom. Ron hung up his coat and turned around. When he saw Hermione standing there, he smiled the biggest smile in the world. He ran to Hermione and gave her a kiss that was so passionate that it left Hermione breathless. Ron scooped Hermione up into his arms and started for the bedroom. "Baby, I cooked your favorite dinner," Hermione said between kisses. "We can warm it up later," Ron said. Hermione waved her hand a put a warming charm on the food.
Ron laid Hermione on the bed, slipped his clothes off in record time and joined Hermione on the bed. Two hours later, Ron and Hermione laid in each others arms very satisfied. Ginger had been asleep since the night before, as she awoke Ginger realized that someone was holding her. "Damn, I forgot about the red-headed oaf," Ginger thought angrily. "Well I will let them have tonight. It will be the last time they will enjoy each others company. Ha Ha Ha. I will have to drive him away because as long as he is around I will not be able to separate myself from these whinny ass babies. Maybe I can try some of those spells I found when I was researching. Ha Ha Ha," Ginger laughed evilly as she went back to her secret place in Hermione's mind. Not aware of the trouble that was on it way the couple went downstairs to eat. Dinner was soon finished and the happy couple was back upstairs for round two.
A/N: Well Ginger has a plan. What will Ginger do to Hermione and Ron now? You will have to wait and see. I will update soon. Hope you enjoy and review.
