A/N: *grins * Now you all get to find out just who Andromeda sent her Patronus too... LMAO! This chapter is a lil short but it had to end where it did...

Andromeda was sitting in her favorite chair when her front door was thrown open. She chuckled as she stood up and turned to face the two people who just pretty much burst into her home and smiled at them fondly. "Well hello to you both."
The man smiled sheepishly and said "Hello, Andy. How is Hermione doing?"
Andromeda sighed. "Her body needs time to heal and so does her mind. I made sure that when I checked her over to put her to sleep until five this evening but I didn't tell anyone that. The words on her back are infected and not able to heal properly because the youngest Weasley boy used a toxin on the dagger that he carved the words with. She is severely underweight and malnutrished even though both Cissa and Lucius have tried their best to look after her. And she is pregnant."
Both men swore but it was Regulus Black who snarled "That bloody boy better hope I don't get my hands on him anytime soon or I will kill him. Now I understand why Hermione hasn't contacted Sirius or I since before the final battle. I must say that I am happy that both Lucius and Narcissa finally figured out just who Hermione is. Andy, will you be able to heal Hermione before her birthday comes around? I don't think her body will be able to handle her inheritance if she isn't healed by then. As it is she is already older than seventeen because of her use of her time turner but she still won't get her inheritance until the day she was supposed to turn seventeen."
Andromeda sighed again. "I'm not sure if I will have her healed by then or not, Reg. I have Severus brewing the Toxin potion but we all know that it takes a week to brew and her birthday is in ten days."
Sirius grinned and then it turned into a smirk as he brought a potion out from his cloak pocket. "Actually we have some of the Toxin potion left, Andy. Hermione had to brew it for Regulus and he didn't even have to use half of what she brewed for him."
Andromeda's eyes widened in shock and then she smirked. "Well I guess we are going to Hogwarts sooner rather than later. Now I am going to warn you both that Hermione doesn't look at all like she should. She is pale, she has lost quite a bit of weight, and she has scars. Also Harry, Severus, Lucius, Narcissa, Albus, Minerva, Remus, well everyone is going to be surprised to see you and will probably question you to make sure that you are who you look like because Hermione never told them."
Both of them nodded as Sirius said "We'll answer any questions that they have as soon as we see Mia. She saved us more than once. It is only right that we do what we can to save her. Besides Fran and Nigel would want us both at Hermione's side as she goes through this since they can't be with her."
Andromeda smiled and nodded and then took her wand and sent her Patronus to notify those she wanted notified to be in the Head's dormitory and that she would be there soon. She then looked back at the two brothers. "Alright we will give Albus, Minerva, Severus, Remus, and the others a few minutes to get comfortable in the common room and then we will go."
Once again they both nodded after exchanging a look with one another. But it was Regulus who cleared his throat as he looked back at his cousin. "You don't think that Lucius or Severus is going to want to kill us do you?"
Andromeda shook her head as she laughed. "No, I do not think that they will want to kill you. They will both more than likely be shocked and have a ton of questions but they won't kill you. The reason I know this is because neither of them is going to want to risk Hermione's wrath. We all know just how powerful Hermione is and we all know that when she is angry it is ten times worse."
Sirius snorted. "That is the bloody truth. I love that girl like a daughter but she is scary."
Regulus chuckled. "I saw her kill two Death Eaters when they found Sirius and I before the final battle and she didn't even get sweaty doing it. I just wish that she wasn't hurt now."
Sirius nodded as his eyes grew glacial. "Ronald Weasley is lucky that he isn't some where that I can get access too easily or he would be dead before sunset tonight. As it is if I ever get the chance I am going to show him just how much he messed up."
Regulus nodded in agreement. "I agree, brother. However right now we need to stay calm because being angry or getting angry isn't going to help Mia."
Sirius sighed but nodded. He took in a deep breath and let it out before repeating the process a couple times. He wanted to make sure that he appeared calm even if he was the furtherst thing from calm for Hermione's sake. He didn't want her to see him upset. He didn't want her to worry any more than she already was. "So how were you able to convince Narcissa that you weren't that familiar with Hermione, Andy?"
Andromeda smirked and said "I just asked Cissa to tell me what she could about Mia. I wasn't going to let it slip that I knew her pretty well until I had the chance to either talk to Hermione or get both of you here so that I could take you to Hermione's side."
"You must have had some fun doing that." Regulus chortled.
Andromeda nodded and then looked at the clock she had on her wall. "Okay I think enough time has passed. Are you two ready?"
Sirius and Regulus exchanged looks and then both of them looked at Andromeda with their masks in place as they nodded and said together "We're ready."
Andromeda smiled and then walked forward and gave both of them a hug before she made her way over to the fireplace. "Come through after me but floo together. I think it is best to just give them one big shock instead of two shocks. Also what you need to call out is Hogwarts Head dormitory unified. That is the flood address and password. I will see you both in a minute."
Sirius and Regulus both nodded and watched as Andromeda disappeared from their sight. They looked at one another once more before stepping into the fire and calling their destination after they through the floo powder in.

Andromeda quickly stepped out of the way of the fireplace once she exited into the common room of the Head's dormitory. She held up a hand to stop any questions that anyone may ask and smirked when she saw everyone's eyes focus on the fireplace as it flared green again. Her eyes danced with mirth when she heard everyone gasp as Sirius and Regulus both stepped out of the fireplace.
"How?" Albus gasped out when he saw who had just come out of the fire.
A/N 2: *evil grins* I couldn't resist ending it there for more than one reason... The main reason being is I wanted the explanations in the next chapter... So once again make sure you all thank Jen for updating for me...
