By eight the next morning all the adults were back in the infirmary and waiting for Hermione, Harry, Draco, and Blaise all to wake up.

Severus looked at the others with a raised eyebrow. "Did you all get everything done that you wanted?"

Apollo smirked at his son in law. "That we did, Severus, and then some. I paid a visit to Hermione's adopted father and made sure that he realized just how badly he messed up. Needless to say he won't be looking at any young girls ever again or thinking things that he shouldn't be. Have the four teenagers had a peaceful night?"

Severus sighed but shook his head. "Draco and Blaise both have had a peaceful night. Hermione's night unfortunately was pretty much bad. I had to spell pain reliever potions into her system four times because even with the Dreamless Sleep in her she was still moaning in pain. She settled down completely about two hours ago. I have a Pepper-Up potion on hand in case she needs it when she wakes up. I had to give Harry a Dreamless Sleep about an hour after you all left because he was having nightmares. Once he took the Dreamless Sleep he slept the rest of the night uninterrupted. I think that one of us needs to talk to him at some point today about his nightmares so that hopefully he can quit having them. If I were to take a guess I think that he keeps everything bottled up and does not talk about how he feels or what he has been through and that is why he has the nightmares that he does."

Hades nodded thoughtfully as he looked at the young man in question. "I will sit him down and talk with him later today because you are more than likely right, Severus. The young man has been through and seen too much for someone his age. He isn't used to relying on adults so he keeps everything inside and then once it becomes to much he loses control. I will begin teaching him this evening and when I do start I will teach him some exercises that he can do in order to center himself. The main thing will be getting him to see that he can trusts adults to do right by him. He has yet to have that in his life so it will be a bit of a fight to get him to see and understand that if need be he can come to one or all of us. His so called aunt and uncle have beaten it into him not to ask questions and not to ask for help. That is why after the one time he went to Minerva McGonagall and she ignored his pleading that he started doing things himself. He felt as if he could not trust an adult to help him when he needed it so he relied on himself and on Hermione to help him with whatever he was doing."

Severus scowled at that piece of information. "When did Harry go to Minerva for help?"

Hermione who had woke up while Hades was talking whispered "First year when Quirrell and Voldemort were after the stone. We tried to tell her that someone was going after it but she ignored us so Harry, Ron, and I all went through the traps to save it. Harry still blames himself for killing Quirrell even though it wasn't his fault."

Severus jumped up and gave Hermione a glass of water to drink even as he swore long and hard. "Why in the bloody hell didn't she listen to you three? I will be having words with her. As for Harry killing Quirrell that is not his fault and I will be sure to make that abundantly clear to him. He was just a first year and it was Quirrell's decision to touch Harry even after he had already burnt his hands once. Quirrell knew what he was getting into by letting Riddle possess him. How are you feeling, Hermione?"

Hermione took in a deep breath and let it out as she pushed herself up into a sitting position. She smiled at everyone that she saw sitting around her's, Harry's, Blaise's and even Draco's bed. "I am actually feeling pretty good right now but I have a feeling that, that will change at some point today. Has a room been cleaned for me to use for the Veela meeting that I wish to hold? And have summons been sent out letting all of the Veelas know that they must attend?"

Narcissa smiled at Hermione from where she sat next to Draco's bed. "Apollo and I worked together to get the summons sent out, Miss Granger. We also made sure to include that the Veela mates were also to attend the meeting. We made sure to put in the letter that the Queen was now back and that she wanted a full court meeting."

Hermione nodded and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you for doing that, Mrs. Malfoy and Grandfather. I meant to do it myself yesterday but everything kind of spiraled out of control and I ended up sleeping way longer than I thought that I would. What time is it anyways? And what time did you set the meeting for?"

Apollo smiled at his granddaughter. "It is now eight thirty in the morning. We set the meeting for two in the afternoon so that everyone would have time to get here. Albus has the house elf's keeping an eye for arriving Veela. The boys should be waking up in the next half hour or so. If you are feeling up to it why don't you get showered and dressed, Hermione? I am sure that Poppy won't mind you using the bathroom and shower in the infirmary."

Hermione smiled and slowly climbed out of the bed that she was in. She kissed her father, grandfather, great grandfather, Regulus, Sirius, and Salazar on the cheek before she walked into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom she set the shower to the hottest temperature she could stand, stripped down and stepped into the shower. She let a sigh of relief out once the hot water hit her body. She couldn't believe how good it felt. She stayed in the shower for twenty minutes before she finally washed her hair and body, rinsed off, and then climbed out. Without a thought she wandless dried herself off and her hair and dressed in the clothes that a house elf must have brought to her while she was in the shower. She exited the bathroom and walked back to the bed she had spent the night in just as Harry, Draco, and Blaise started stirring.
