Chapter 4
Everyone turned to stare at Hermione who had gone very pale.
"I think we need to talk privately" she said, glancing at those in question "Janey, can you hold onto Amie for me?" She asked, passing over her daughter before getting a reply.
"Sure..."
Hermione picked herself up off the ground and headed into the house. She looked at Molly and Arthur with worry in her eyes.
"I think you might want to join us" she said, trying to stop her voice shaking. Molly looked at her curiously and saw the fear in her eyes, fear she had not seen in a number of years. She motioned to Arthur and they followed the friends inside. As soon as they were inside, all hell broke loose as Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny made an attempt discussing. Molly took this opportunity to prise the letter out of Ron's hand and read it before passing it on to Arthur.
"Quiet! We need to think about this sensibly!" Molly shouted, quickly gaining everyone's attention as she read out the letter.
To Mr Ronald Weasley,
It has come to the Ministry's attention that there has been another surge in dark activity. It seems that a number of powerful wizards and witches have been coming together and are calling themselves the next generation of death eaters. It is rumoured that their leader is Voldemort's heir, whose identity is currently unknown. We have no knowledge of what their plans are but we suspect that they will try and avenge Voldemort's death. The Ministry feels that you are in immediate danger and need to move to safety. Albus Dumbledore has agreed to let you return to Hogwarts where you will be safer, provided you return as staff. You will be expected to arrive on the Hogwarts Express in September.
Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic
Molly spoke in a calm voice,
"I was afraid this would happen. After all, many of the death eaters in Azkaban have children intent on revenge."
"Yeah, and we can already think of one." Ron snapped
"Malfoy" Harry growled at the memory of his nemesis.
"Yes, well..." said Molly "What matters is that you four and Amie are safe. There's no choice, you have to go to Hogwarts."
"But....."
"No buts Ronald Weasley. It's important that you are safe."
"But what about Sienna? Will I have to leave her?"
"Not my decision. Fight it out with Dumbledore."
"But I love her!"
"Like I said, you'll have to talk to Dumbledore about it. I doubt he'll want any more than absolutely necessary.don't argue with me Ron" Molly threatened as Ron opened his mouth to protest. Throughout this, both Ginny and Hremione had remained silent, simply taking it all in. Ginny nodded,
"Yes, I think Hogwarts is the best place to be."
Molly walked over to where Hermione stood leaning against the kitchen sink, her arms folded across her chest. Herminoe raised a hand to wipe away a tear, unable to look up at Molly.
"Hermione, I know it's hard for you, I know you want Amie to have a peaceful childhood without fear. That's why you need to go to Hogwarts, to make sure she's safe. I'm sure she'll love it at Hogwarts, she's a very special girl. There's something in her eyes, I'm not sure what but she's certainly special."
"I don't understand why we must wait until September." Ginny suddenly commented "If we're in such danger, wouldn't it make sense if we went as soon as possible?"
"In a way, yes, maybe but if you're going to enter Hogwarts as staff, it would be better o start at the beginning of the academic year. Until then, everyone will just have to be careful. In the meantime, I suggest we owl Dumbledore for more detalis."
"You're right" said Harry "Until we hear more, we'll have to carry on as normal."
"Speaking of normal!" Exclaimed Arthur, "We've got a garden full of people wondering what's happened to us!"
That was that, the discussion was over and everyone returned to the party.

Later that evening, Harry and Hermione found themselves back in the comfort of their own home. Harry sighed as he reclined on the sofa with a glass of whiskey in hand. It had been a long day, full of unexpected surprises. All he could hope for was that nothing happened before they went to Hogwarts. He took a gulp of his drink, letting the liquid numb his throat. So much for peace.
Meanwhile, Hermione was putting Amie down. It had been a long day for the little girl yet she didn't seem as tired as Hermione thought she would be. Not that it mattered, after all, she always slept right through. She kissed her daughter on the forehead and lay her down in the cot. With a flick of her wand she set off a mobile above the cot. It was a simple Muggle mobile but Hermione had charmed it to play a selection of lullabies. She had developed a habit of charming Muggle items, it was something that fascinated her. Admittedly, some of her "experiments" tended to cause problems for Harry who had once spent two hours trying to catch a teapot which was soaring round the kitchen, somewhat out of control. On the other hand, some of her projects were more of a success. She had successfully charmed a vacuum cleaner so that it cleaned on its own!
Harry was disturbed from his thoughts by the sound of running water. He quickly finished his drink and headed towards the bathroom.
Hermione switched off the light in Amie's room and headed for the bathroom. A long, hot soak in the tub was what she needed to relax her aching muscles. She got the bath running and turned a tap which filled the room with lavender bubbles. She pulled the straps down on her sundress and let the lilac material slide down. Discarding her matching underwear, she slid into the bubbles, letting the hot water flow over her.
"Has anyone ever told you how gorgeous you are?" Harry's deep voice growled from the doorframe.
"Frequently, especially when I'm covered in bubbles and inhibited by clothes" came Hermione's saucy reply.
"Now there's an incentive for a man to have a wash now and then. I think I might have to join you, for hygiene purposes only though."
"What an offer! How could a girl refuse? Fortunately, I can, after all, it's only for hygiene purposes." Hermione smirked playfully.
Harry laughed out loud as he pulled off his T-shirt to reveal a well-toned torso.
"We'll see about that!" Harry grinned, striding towards the bath.
Hermione squealed as she threw a handful of bubbles at him.
"You've got a fight on your hands now!"
Soon the bubbles were flying everywhere and it wasn't long before Hermione had pulled Harry into the bath with her, soaking him from to head to foot.
"I think I win, Mr. Potter" Hermione gloated as she straddled Harry, her hands moving down his chest to undo the buckle on his belt.
"Do you indeed?" He grinned as he flipped her over, quickly disposing of his trousers. She giggled but was quickly silenced as Harry captured her mouth with his own. They let the water wash over them, lost in the moment as they gave into their passion.
There you go! Please review and I'll try and update as soon as I can.
