The Next day Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were up at Hogwarts wanting to know what happened and why they needed to come.
(Professor Dumbledore didn't tell them any detail in the letter they received, he just said there was something going on with their son and they need to be at the school the next day.)
Dumbledore showed them too his office and all hell broke lose, when they go there.
"Albus why is my son tied to a chair he's done nothing wrong." Arthur Weasley said turning redder then any of his children.
"Yes, Albus what is the mean of Ron being tied up." Molly Weasley asked with concern,
"I believe I know the answer that question." came Hermione's voice.
"Hermione what did you do too our son." Arthur Bellowed
(An: Ok if you haven't noticed I like the word Bellowed that is all)
Hermione was hurt that the man she thought as a second father could accuse her for something he knew nothing about.
"I did nothing too him it is what he did to me… Professor Dumbledore called you here because of it ." Hermione said in a shaken voice,
"Thank you for the quite, now we are waiting for the last person for this then we can continue." Dumbledore said in a calm voice,
"Sorry I'm late, everyone." a silly voice called out over the stillness of the room.
"Ah yes Severus you are not as late as you think." Dumbledore said with that damn twinkle. "Now that everyone is present let us begin... Miss granger why don't you start."
"Well, I was walking down the hall doing my rounds when some one came up from behind me and pulled me into an empty classroom..."
and they went on telling what happen to her the day before.
"That, is why I tied Mr. Weasley up." Dumbledore finished off,
"How do I none that what you say is a lie?" Arthur Weasley said considerably.
"I can answer that I put a truth charm on my office before everyone started talking." Albus said.
"I can't believe our son would oh Hermione dear I'm so sorry. Arthur were did we go wrong first Percy now Ron what did we do to our younger children." Mrs. Weasley wailed in her husband's chest,
"I'm so sorry Hermione for saying what I said" Mr. Weasley said, "Albus what do you want us to do with Ron?"
"Well, I would normal said, expel him" Mrs. Weasley gasped at this,"… but since he has done so much good I would say two mouths suspension and then one mouth of detection. so I'll see you back in April. good day every one I have work too do." Dumbledore dismissed them,
as everyone left the office one person stayed.
"WHAT THE HELL ALBUS! HOW COULD YOU LET THAT BOY OFF WITH THREE MOUTHS AND A SLAP ON THAT WRIST AFTER WHAT HE DID TO HERM- MISS. GRANGER!?" Severus bellowed at the Headmaster,
"Severus I did what had to be done I do not wish to talk about this any more as I said before I have work to do as you do." Albus said calmly.
Severus stored out of the office and down to his dungeons too think.
Meanwhile Hermione was telling Harry and Draco what happened in the Headmaster's office. she left them to talk while she went up to her room to think and cry about the whole ordeal.
The Three Days Passed quietly and quickly and soon it was Christmas Eve. During those three days Hermione went shopping for Christmas presents and Cards For Everyone. She stared at all the unwrapped gifts and decided she would get some wrapping done. For Harry Hermione gave him a new broom cleaning kit and also a Book of some of the best tricks on a broom. For Draco she got him the same thing but in Green and Sliver. (Harry's was Red and Gold) For Ginny she got her a Red Dragon necklace with earrings to match. For Severus she got him something special that she would give him in person. For Luna she got her a ice blue orb that can transfer messages to their boy/girlfriend and for Dobby she got him a whole weeks worth of socks.
Harry and Ginny talked about what happened with Ron and were friends again but decided that a relationship would be too complex for them, and started dating other people Harry is going out with Luna and Draco asked Harry if it was cool to go out with Ginny because he had liked her for a while and didn't want it to come as a shock to Harry if they were going out so Ginny and Draco were trying out their relationship.
Being that it was Christmas Eve and everyone was paired off Hermione was felling a bit left out so she left the common room and went out to the snow covered grounds. It looked like a postcard… the castle, the frozen lake and the tree next to it all, Hermione was staring out onto the lake thinking about how she made a total ass of her self in front of Severus that day… 'Why, did I say I loved him?' She mused, as she sat by the lake.
AN: PLEASE REVIEW PLEASE…I'll cry if you don't.
TBC…
