When Hermione next became conscious, she was bound by magical ropes, on a boat, with Harry and Micheals. She tried to speak but found she had no voice.
"You'll be happy to know," Harry said, "well, not so happy seeing as you're the one who tried to kill them, but all Weasley's, with the exception of-." He broke off, swallowed hard and continued, "Arthur, are recovering." He was staring at her with hard, cold eyes.
"We're taking you to Azkaban," Micheals said, "We'll be there shortly." He glared at Hermione. "Arthur Weasley was a fine man."
"She knows that, for eight years, they cared for her as if she was their own daughter. She almost was to. Ron was about to propose to her on her birthday." Harry stared at her, "and you do this to him." The boat hit the shore of the little dark island Azkaban lay on. "You'll be in here for life Hermione." He raised his wand and she levitated to her feet from the sitting position she was in.
She was led to a cell. There were no longer dementors, seeing as they weren't trustworthy anymore.
"Guards will be on you at all times," Micheals said.
Harry was about to speak when Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister for Magic approached. "Micheals, leave us please." He said in that low soothing voice.
"Yes Minister," the young Auror said and walked off. As soon as Hermione was in her cell, the silencing charm that was on her was taken off.
"I was surprised when I heard about this Miss. Granger." Kingsley said but was cut off.
"Riddle," she snapped, "it's Miss Riddle."
"That may be, but you'll always be known as Hermione Granger to me."
"That's what I tried to tell her Kingsley, I don't know what caused this change in her. This was found in her robes." He handed Kingsley the photograph and birth certificate.
"Unbelievable," Kingsley muttered, "what do you know on the matter?"
"Nothing Minister," Harry replied, "but I'm sure Hermione knows something."
"Dumbledork didn't tell anyone then?"
"Albus?"
"He's the one who took me, charmed me, placed me with filthy muggles!"
"I'm sure he had a good reason!" Harry defended.
"Because of my parents! Not a good enough reason to me!"
"Come Harry, let's leave Hermione and speak to Albus. You'll have a trial, Hermione, in a week's time." And they left.

A/N: Alright, only one more chapter left. I never thought this story would get such great reviews and response and I'm very happy for it. I'm looking for a few sequel idea's though so if you come up with any I'll be glad to think about them and possibly use them, but just remember there is one more chapter. Anyways, I hope you liked it and please remember to review!
