AN: Sorry for the wait.

Sacred Twenty-eight turn to the Sacred eleven

Yesterday morning the official listing of the pure blooded families changed. Suddenly sixteen of the most prestigious families disappeared from the list. The ministry is trying to solve the mystery. The only clue they have at the moment is that the families that disappeared from the list were connected to You-Know-Who in some way. This reporter will keep you updated on the ministry's research.

Kingsley paced around the room. He and the twins had been living in fear for a few days. When they came home from work a few days ago, they found Hermione unconscious on the floor with the house buzzing from the overload of dark magic. Hermione still hadn't woken up, it had been two days since they found her laying there so fragile looking. Lily and Alice had been over both days to help them a little with their housework. James, Sirius and Remus were now trying to distract him and the twins. Hermione looked so weird lying there so still, in that enormous bed.

Kingsley sighed and walked back into the room. Fabian was softly caressing the back of Hermione's hand with his thumb. Gideon placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Sirius was softly talking to Remus and James. "I'm feeling kind of bad that we treated her like that when we met her." James nodded his head.

And out of nowhere a soft croaky voice said. "Yeah, you guys were kind of asshats." Hermione slightly moved her head but didn't open her eyes.

"Hermione? Are you ok? Can you open your eyes?" Kingsley said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "I am but everything hurts. I can't open my eyes at the moment the lighting is too harsh right now."

Fabian flicked his wand and the lighting dimmed. Little bulbs of candle light flickered in the corners of the room. "Guys! Come on let's eat, Hermione isn't going to wake up any faster with you not eating." Lily said as she walked into the room.

"Well lucky I'm awake now." Hermione said, her voice sounding really tired. "Hermione! Alice, she's awake!" Hermione cringed. "Oh god I'm so sorry Hermione." Lily looked a little sheepish. Hermione smiled and slightly opened her eyes. "It's ok. Take these guys with you and make them eat something." Lily nodded her head.

Alice came in to check up on her and gave her another pain potion. Hermione fell asleep again, the twins and Kingsley sat next to her again. The knot in their chest finally loosened a bit.

Hermione was still bedridden after two days. Alice controlled her vital functions. They were okay but her magic was still depleted. It make her still very fragile and exhausted. Since she couldn't really do anything other than lie in bed and rest she decided to do some more research into the laws about the patriarchal government. Kingsley decided to keep her company while the twins had to go into the ministry.

She was working herself up again about the unfairness of those old fat bastards. "Hermione?" Kingsley asked. "Yeah? What's wrong? You've been grumbling a lot for the last hour." Hermione sighed. "It's not fair how women and muggleborns are treated in those stupid laws. I mean what the hell is up with a law that makes women a possession if they don't have magical parents. How can this stupid law even exist!"

Kingsley tried to calm her down but Hermione was on a war path. "I mean how dare they assume women are just possessions to be had? I knew the magical community was very backwards but still. How could it be that bad? I mean listen to this. When a pureblooded witch or wizard is attacked by someone other than another pureblooded witch or wizard, the witch or wizard can demand the life of the attacker. I mean if I touch of bump into someone by accident and he or she is a pureblood and hates me, he or she can say I need to die. I mean what?"

Hermione just sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. "You've forgotten that you can't be killed by that. You are a pureblood now, Hermione." Kingsley softly said but apparently that wasn't the right thing to say. Hermione turned towards him. "No one knows that I'm the heir of Morgana, well your family and friends do but the rest of the world doesn't. I'm still a mudblood, that isn't worth being on the underside of their shoes. I'm not even worth being alive."

Kingsley pulled her close and ran his fingers through her hair. "I know my love, but we are going to change it all. Me and the twins are going to help you navigate those political waters. Potter, Black and Longbottom will do their parts too but we need you to get better first. You need to rest and make sure your magic can regenerate."

Hermione grumbled a bit but slid a bit further down in bed and put away the books. "If I sleep now, will you still be here when I wake up?" Kingsley smiled and kissed Hermione on the forehead. "Of course I will my love."
