I still don't own Harry Potter
A/N: for some reason I wasn't able to reposted the 13 chap so that one will be un-updated until I figure out what is wrong. Sorry for that.
Chapter 14
Severus Snape sat waiting in Three Broomsticks for his godson to arrive. He was planning on what to say to him when Malfoy made his way to the table.
"Hello godfather" Malfoy said formally.
"Draco, how are you?" Snape asked politely.
"I've been doing well" Malfoy said taking a seat.
"Can the lies Draco, you were always so very easy to read" Snape said glaring at his godson.
Malfoy gulped.
"I've heard of your abandonment of the dark lord" Snape said scathingly.
"Please, uncle Severus" Malfoy said nervously.
"Shut it Draco, the dark lord needs a spy in Hogwarts, and you're going to it" Snape snapped glaring at his godson.
"And if I refuse?" Malfoy asked nervously.
"Then you can explain that to the dark lord yourself" Snape said smiling evilly.
Malfoy shivered at the prospect of meeting the dark lord.
"So what is it going to be Draco?" Snape said leaning back in his chair enjoying his godson squirm.
Malfoy didn't know what to do, he didn't want to serve the dark lord, but he didn't want to incur his wrath either.
"I'll do it" Malfoy said definitely.
"The wisest decision you've made in your miserable life Draco" Snape said then he got up and left.
Malfoy sat there wondering what to do, until he decided to tell Dumbledore. He'd be able to help out of this.
/Scene Break/
Ron was finished with his plan and now had to find a way to implement it.
"Hey Ron, what's you reading?" Dean asked.
Ron quickly covered up the book.
"Nothing" Ron said quickly.
Dean looked at Ron strangely, but shrugged and left the dorm.
After Dean was gone Ron began to reading the book again smiling.
/Scene Break/
Ron was heading down the corridor trying to find Hermione when he spotted her in the library.
Typical know-it-all Ron thought.
"Hey Herms" Ron greeted sweetly.
Hermione flicked her eyes up at the redhead and then went back down to her book.
"What do you want Ronald?" Hermione asked trying to keep civil.
"Can't I have a nice chat with my best friend?" Ron asked innocently.
Hermione snorted.
"Best friend? I think you're stuck in the past Ronald" Hermione said.
Ron frowned, but wasn't going to be sidetracked. He pulled out his wand slowly hoping not for Hermione to notice it. Thankfully Hermione was too wrapped up in her book to notice. He waved his wand and muttered the curse that he read. He watched as Hermione stiffen and knew that it was working.
"Follow me to the back room" Ron ordered.
Hermione slowly got up, but you could tell that she was fighting the curse. Ron frowned and pointed his wand at Hermione again and muttered a stronger version of the curse, which made Hermione obey. She followed Ron to the back room of the library where it was usually deserted.
"Good. Now strip" Ron barked.
Hermione hesitated, which made Ron scowl.
"I said Strip" Ron bellowed.
Before Hermione could even move and before Ron could raise his wand he was shot back and crashing into the wall behind him. Harry was standing behind Hermione glaring murderously at the redhead. Behind him were the others along with Tonks.
"Tonks, arrest this piece shit before I kill him" Harry said trying to keep his emotions in check.
Tonks nodded and did as she was told. Even though she was a teacher now madam Bones kept her on reserve, which made her able to still perform her duties as an auror.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry asked as he pulled Hermione into a hug.
"I'm fine Harry, just a little weak, thanks for giving me the magic I needed" Hermione whispered weakly.
"Any time Mione" Harry said softly.
"You'd better go see madam Pomfrey" Susan suggested.
Harry nodded and picked up Hermione bridal style and led the way to the hospital wing.
"Mr. Potter what is it this time?" madam Pomfrey asked as soon as she stepped out of her office from hearing the ward at the hospital wing entrance go off.
"Not me madam Pomfrey, it's Hermione" Harry said.
Madam Pomfrey didn't say another word and rushed over to check Hermione over as Harry laid his wife on one of the hospital beds.
"It appears that she is drained magically and physically, what happened?" madam Pomfrey asked after she finished her scans.
"Ron used illegal curses on her, which she fought off with her own magic" Harry said scowling.
Madam Pomfrey paled slightly, but nodded as she checked Hermione more thoroughly.
"Is she going to be alright?" Luna asked worriedly.
"Don't worry Miss Lovegood, she'll be fine, all she needs is a good rest" madam Pomfrey said finally.
The others gave out a sigh of relief.
Dumbledore then came bursting in right after looking frazzled.
"I just heard Poppy, how are they?" Dumbledore asked looking flushed from running.
Before Pomfrey could answer Harry stepped in.
"Hermione is fine, no thanks to Weasley. He used several illegal curses on Hermione and if it wasn't for me, she would have been under that little shit's control" Harry said furiously.
"Now Harry, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation" Dumbledore said slipping into his grandfather mode.
"Bullshit Dumbledore, he used illegal curses that is very close to the Imperius curse on my girlfriend, he's just lucky I didn't kill him" Harry said angrily.
"You'd kill him Harry, have you really gone so far down that path?" Dumbledore asked worriedly.
"Oh spare me, I have every right to kill the prick for what he was going to do to my Hermione" Harry shouted.
McGonagall came rushing in next.
"Harry, I just heard what happened" McGonagall said panting slightly.
"Everything is fine professor, Weasley is in custody and I will be charging him for using illegal spells on my girlfriend" Harry said.
"Now Harry, I think you're being a bit harsh" Dumbledore said gently.
"Oh Albus can it, he attacked one of my cubs and I don't care what happens to him" McGonagall said vehemently.
Dumbledore saw that he couldn't win this one right now so he backed down for now.
"Neville, look through Ron's things I know he has to have books somewhere since I highly doubt Hogwarts would keep books like this here" Harry said in a tone of a command.
Neville nodded.
"I'll come with you Mr. Longbottom" McGonagall said.
The two left and Harry crawled into the bed and cradled Hermione as she slept.
"Mr. Potter, I think you should leave so Miss Granger can rest" madam Pomfrey said with a disapproving look in her eye.
"Madam Pomfrey there is no way I'm leaving my wife" Harry said feeling tired himself.
Madam Pomfrey sputtered.
"Wife, what are you talking about Mr. Potter?" madam Pomfrey asked quite shocked.
"Harry and Hermione have a soul bond" Luna said taking a position to guard the couple.
Susan did the same without a word.
"I see, well then I guess you two won't be leaving either" madam Pomfrey said eyeing the two blonds.
They shook their heads.
Madam Pomfrey sighed and went back to her office to have a strong cup of tea to calm herself.
/Scene Break/
Ron awoke to find himself in a holding cell.
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Ron shouted.
"You're here for using several illegal curses on a student" an auror said.
"I didn't do anything, but get what is mine" Ron shouted.
"Shut it" the auror snapped.
Ron was about to open is mouth when the auror used the silencing charm on the redhead.
/Scene Break/
Amelia Bones was furious, that bitch's son dare tried to hurt Hermione. She knew that she had no legal right over Hermione, but she'd be damned to let this filth go, she considered the girl as family. It would take a miracle for Dumbledore to get the redhead of this. She just received word from Minerva that they found dark magic books hidden in his trunk. This only tighten the noose on the redhead and Amelia knew that Harry wanted her to pull the lever.
/Scene Break/
Hermione awoke to find herself in a warm embrace that she knew very well.
"Morning Harry" Hermione said.
"Oh thank goodness you're alright Hermione" Harry said with relief.
Hermione felt that relief flow through her.
"Harry, what happened?" Hermione asked.
Harry then explained to her what happened yesterday and she almost got up, but Harry held her down.
"Don't worry love, he's in custody and I know thatAmelia will make sure he doesn't escape, Dumbledore be damned" Harry said.
Hermione snuggled closer to Harry.
"This is nice" Hermione said with a sigh.
"It would be nicer if we weren't in the hospital wing" Harry said.
Hermione's eyes widen.
"Why are we here?" Hermione asked curiously.
"You were tired and you drained your core" Harry said.
Before Hermione could ask Harry to explain madam Pomfrey came in.
"Ah Miss Granger, or should I say Mrs. Potter it's nice to see you awake" madam Pomfrey said smiling.
"Um, hello madam Pomfrey, I guess you know then, huh?" Hermione said sheepishly.
"Yes, and it was quite surprise, to say the least" madam Pomfrey said as she checked Hermione over.
"Am I good to go?" Hermione asked wanting to get out of the hospital wing.
"You're fine, it appears that your core is back to full strength" madam Pomfrey said after her scans.
And with that they left the hospital wing and went back to their quarters. Once back there they found their friends waiting for them.
"Oh Hermione, I'm so glad you're alright" Luna said pulling Hermione into a hug.
Hermione smiled and hugged the blond back.
"I'm fine, but I would like to know what's going on?" Hermione asked.
They then explained to Hermione what happened for their point of view and what they knew. Then asked what she remembered.
"Honestly, I remembered put under a spell and when Ron ordered me to follow him and I fought back, but the spell was strong. So I had to draw all of magic to fight it and then I had use Harry's because mine wasn't enough" Hermione said.
"I knew something was wrong when I felt a pull on my core, so I rushed to help you. I came in time when Ron ordered you to strip" Harry said.
Hermione paled.
"That bastard, I want him to rot in Azkaban" Hermione said knowing exactly what would've happened if she didn't have the power to fight back.
"He will, and I'll everything in my power to make sure he does" Harry said clenching his fists.
The others agreed that they'd help make sure that the redhead would never see the light of day.
/Scene Break/
Dumbledore was pacing in his office as he tried figure out how to get Ronald Weasley out of this situation. He still needed the redhead and didn't want to toss him yet. But what infuriated him was the how idiotic the redhead was. How could he be so stupid to use those spells and who provided them was also another question. He had a good guess on who, but he needed confirmation.
/Scene Break/
Ginny wandered down the corridors to find Malfoy wandering also.
"Malfoy, there you are" Ginny said happily.
"What do you want Weasel?" Malfoy asked grumpily.
Ginny frowned.
"I'm sorry, Ginny, right?" Malfoy said.
Ginny nodded.
"Yeah, I've had a rough week, so I apologize for my behavior" Malfoy said bowing to Ginny.
Ginny's eyes widen, Malfoy really must want to change.
"So what can I do for you?" Malfoy asked.
"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to study together sometime?" Ginny asked blushing slightly.
Malfoy's eyes widen at what Ginny was saying, he wasn't slow to what the little redhead was suggesting.
"Sure, that sounds good" Malfoy said smiling a little.
Ginny smiled back as Malfoy took her arm and they walked to the library.
/Scene Break/
"So what is Amelia going to do?" Hermione asked.
"She going to charge the prick as an adult, and that means he could serve a sentence in Azkaban" Harry said.
"I hope he gets it, the bastard hurt you" Neville said furiously.
Susan nodded in full agreement with her boyfriend.
Luna was a little sad though.
"What's the matter Luna? You look sad" Harry asked worriedly.
"Oh nothing, it's just that I did fancy Ron at one time" Luna said
"We don't judge you for that Luna" Hermione said hugging the blond tightly.
"It's great having friends" Luna said smiling.
"You're always going to have us Luna, we'll never let you down" Neville said smiling at the little blond.
Susan just had to kiss her Neville for that.
"Alright, we just have to wait for Tonks to let us know what is going on" Harry said.
It was then that Tonks entered the room looking pleased with Remus following right behind her.
"So Tonks, what's up?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I just came from director Bones' office and to say she was upset would be an understatement" Tonks said with a smiling.
"It was kind of scary to be honest" Remus said still shaking a little.
"You were with her, professor?" Susan asked curiously.
"Yes I was, and please when we're in private please call me Remus" Remus said smiling.
Susan nodded as did the others.
"Okay, so I suppose Amelia will dropping everything she can think of on Ronnie" Harry said.
Tonks nodded.
"Excellent" Harry said rubbing his hands together.
"Harry, I don't mean to judge or anything, but don't you think that you're being a bit harsh?" Remus asked gently.
Harry was ready to tear into Remus, but felt Hermione calm him down.
"No Remus, the prick used illegal spells on Hermione, not to mention he'd tried even more dark magic if that failed. I want him stopped before it gets out of hand" Harry said.
Remus nodded, "I understand, I just want to make sure you do too."
"Thanks Remus" Harry said.
"Oh my goodness, I've lost a good amount of time of studying" Hermione said realizing it for the first time.
This made everyone laugh, and they laughed more when Hermione rushed to grab her book bag. But Harry stopped her before she could leave.
"Hermione, you need to rest, you're still a bit weak, I can tell" Harry said gently.
Hermione pouted.
"But Harry, we have N.E.W.T.'s to study for" Hermione whined.
"Hermione, one day of relaxation won't hurt you" Harry said gently.
Hermione continued to pout, but Harry took her bag from her hand and handed to Susan and then gently laid his wife on the couch.
"Now rest, that's an order" Harry said.
End of chapter
A/N: Okay that's it. Ginny and Draco are starting their relationship, which I wanted. Ron's trial might be in the next chap or not I haven't decided on it yet. I apologize for not doing anything on Molly in this one, but I got a little sidetracked, but her punishment will happen in the next chap, maybe. Thanks for reading and please review.
