"What? What's wrong?" Charlie asked anxiously running his hand through his hair.

Blaise and Severus shared a look. "Well..." Blaise said hesitantly.

"Oh, spit it out will you?" Charlie growled.

"We have searched Hermione's quarters and the only thing we found was a piece of paper that was a portkey. We believe it was placed there by Draco Malfoy in an attempt to capture you." Drawled Severus.

I exhaled shakily. "Oh no!" I walked over to Charlie and put my hand on his bicep. "Charlie, I should leave. It's not safe if I'm here."

He turned and glared at me with fire in his eyes. "Bollocks! I promised I would protect you and that's just what I'm going to do."

I just nodded, unable to talk.

"There is only one problem Weasley. Her quarters are no longer safe." Severus drawled.

Charlie rolled his eyes at him. "That's why she will stay with me...in my room."

"Charlie...I'm fine to stay in my own room." I said annoyed.

Blaise looked at me. "Your room is not safe. You can't stay there. The only other place is in Charlie's room."

I huffed angrily. "Why are you all treating me like a child?"

Before any of them could answer a large tawny barn owl collided with the window. Severus walked over to the window and opened it. He took the letter from the owl and read the name on the front.

"It's for Hermione." he said.

"Wait!" Charlie said. "It could be dangerous."

Severus ran some diagnostic spells on it before determining that it was safe. He handed it to me.

I opened the letter cautiously.

Hermione,

I am sorry we haven't spoken in a while. I miss you too. I don't blame you anymore, I was just grieving and looking for someone to blame. I really would like to talk to you. I'm sorry I didn't get this letter sooner. I have been away for a couple of days.

Harry

I started crying as I read Harry's letter. Charlie read the letter over my shoulder and rubbed my back. I turned and sobbed into his chest. Startled, he pulled his arms around him and pulled me close. I didn't see Blaise and Severus share a look behind me. Blaise was amused where Severus rolled his eyes, shook his head and mouthed "women."

I pulled away from Charlie embarrassed that I had been crying so much the past couple of days.

Charlie looked at me concerned. "Why were you crying?" he asked.

I sniffled. "Because I'm happy. I have to go write a letter to Harry!" I ran off to find parchment and a quill.

Charlie looked at the other two men and shrugged. "I'll never understand women."

After I had sent a reply to Harry asking him to meet me here as soon as he was able to, I wandered back into the kitchen.

"Hermione, Zabini and Snape put all of your belongings into my room." Charlie said.

I sighed. "Is this really necessary, guys?" I asked annoyed.

"Your safety is the upmost importance." Severus told me with his there will be no arguments voice.

I threw my hands in the air. "Ugh! You guys are impossible!" I stomped out of the hut.

I found a spot next to the hut that was in the shade. I sat down and accio'd a book to read. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I saw a man leaning over me. I whipped my wand out.
"Hermione! It's me, Harry."

I put my wand away, jumped up, and hugged him.

"Oh Harry! I miss you so much!"

He hugged me back, and patted my hair. "Oh 'Mione. I missed you too. I am so, so sorry, for everything I did and said."

I brought Harry inside the hut. I was so happy, I was practically skipping.

"Look who showed up!"

Harry walked into the room but stopped short.

"Charlie, Zabini, Snape—Wait you're dead!" He stated backing up.

"Obviously not Potter." Snape replied.

After Harry got over the initial shock of seeing not only a Slytherin, but his old Professor he thought to be dead, he calmed down.

I explained to Harry why I was in Romania and why Blaise was there.

"Why is Snape here?" He asked glancing at the man.

"Well, he is helping Blaise and uh—he's my father."

Harry started laughing. "I'm sorry, I thought I just heard you say Snape was your father."

"I did."

Harry's jaw dropped. "Oh no! Oh hello no!"

Charlie stood up and walked over to stop his little rant. "You need to know something about Ginny. She was cheating on you—with Draco Malfoy."


AN: Sorry this is such a short one. I feel like it's a pretty bad chapter, and I'm sorry. Please review though.
