The following few days were spent making trips all over town. They had run Hermione to a wizard hospital were that had treated Hermione with great care. The one bad thing was that since she had waited so long to get help, which no doubt was the time she had spent putting her portkey together, would be leaving an ugly scar on her arm just below her shoulder.
Mr. Weasley had made many trips back and forth from the Burrow to the hospital to see how Hermione was doing and to the orphanage Hermione had stayed at before they placed her with those awful people. The story began to unfold. After he had learned the full events of Hermione's summer, he went straight to Dumbledore to tell him what had happened. He was quite shocked by the situation, especially since he had not even yet heard of the deaths of Hermione's parents. After a great deal of consideration, Professor Dumbledore had made arrangements so that Hermione would be staying with the Weasley's until she graduated from Hogwarts; during the summers and breaks and such. He wanted to be sure Hermione would be safe.
After three days, Hermione finally awake in the hospital and the first person she saw was asleep on a chair by her bed with his head lying by her on her bed holding her hand. She couldn't but help but suppress a giggle at the sight of Harry like he was. He slowly woke up, but sat straight up when he saw Hermione looking straight at him, thankfully awake!
"You okay?" he asked.
"No, not exactly...but I will be." She said. She knew in her heart that it was true.
"Yes, you most certainly will! I'll make sure of it," said Ron as he walked in.
"Dad told us what happened. He went to the orphanage you stayed at and found out everything. Why didn't you ever tell us? Why didn't you write Hermione? We would have come and got you!" he stated.
"He said if I told anyone he would kill me. They sold my owl, and my cat; all for their stupid money. I wanted to owl you and ask you to take me in, but they would let me. They thought I was lying about other people being willing to take care of me. They said no one would want to house a selfish orphan like me." She began to break into tears.
"Well I can assure you that won't happen again, your can stay with us. Professor Dumbledore said you could stay with us until you graduate if you want. As long as you would like!"
"Did he really?" she asked in disbelief.
"Really!"
A/N: Sorry, I know, short chapter. I'll do better later.
