Thank you for all the reviews! I love them all!! Thanks again to my beta,
you are wonderful!!!
Harry awoke the next morning with a sharp pain in his back. He tired to get up but was unable to because of the weight on his legs. He looked down to see Hermione curled up in his lap. Harry smiled. He removed a few strands of hair from her face. Hermione's eyes began to flutter open and she smiled when she saw Harry.
"Good morning" she said sleepily.
Harry smiled. "I really love seeing you first thing in the morning, but we have to fine a better way to sleep."
Hermione climbed out of his lap and stood up. "I am so sorry Harry. I didn't mean to fall asleep on you again." she said and stuck out her hand to help him up.
Harry grabbed her hand "I don't mind, but I think my back may have other feelings about the sleeping arrangement."
Hermione giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist and began rubbing his back. "Next time you can sleep on me."
Harry laughed. "I don't think so. Next time we will have to be in a bed."
Hermione blushed. "If your lucky." she said slyly. "I think we should head back to our room and change before breakfast. We have to be back to the hospital wing."
Harry nodded and grabbed her hand and led her back to the common room. They walked in silence until they reached the common room.
"Harry I really had a good time last night."
Harry smiled and kissed her briefly on the lips. "Your welcome."
They both parted to there rooms to change. They returned to their common room twenty minutes later to leave for breakfast.
When they entered the great hall the staff table was full. There was only one seat left next to Moody. Harry and Hermione made there way over to the table.
"Take the seat Hermione. I can stand."
"Are you sure? We can share it."
"No take it. I need to stand anywise. My legs are all cramped up still."
"I really am sorry."
"Don't worry about it."
"Good morning you two" Moody said letting parts of his breakfast fall out of his mouth and on his plate.
Hermione looked horrified at his display of table manners and put on a smile. "Good morning."
"Harry why don't get you a seat." Moody said piling on some more bacon and eggs on to his plate.
"No its okay, I don't really feel like sitting." he said grabbing a glass of pumpkin juice and taking a drink.
"You can have my seat I'm done here." Lupin grumbled and left the table.
Before Lupin could get pass Harry he grabbed his arm. "Lupin can I talk to you after we get done at the hospital wing?"
Lupin looked even more upset than ever. "I guess." he said and pulled his arm away from Harry's and left the great hall.
Harry watched him leave the room feeling even more guilt than before.
"You didn't do anything wrong Harry. Don't feel guilty." Hermione said picking up a piece of fruit.
"She's right. He's been like this for a while. Its not you, but I do think he needs to talk about whatever is bothering him." Moody said reaching across Hermione and grabbing a bagel.
Hermione gasped at his action. "Honestly if you wanted the bagel you could have asked me. You're worse than Ron!"
Moody's jaw dropped open and a piece of bacon feel out of it and on to the floor, he was speechless but managed to mutter a " I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to upset you; I guess I am just a little particular about table manners." Hermione said.
Harry was trying his best not to laugh at what Hermione had said to Moody. "You should see her nag about Ron's." Harry said with a smile.
"You're not much better!" Hermione sand glaring at him. She turned back to Moody who was starring at his plate. "I really didn't mean to upset you. I shouldn't have said anything."
"No, Its okay. I will work on them." he said and picked up bacon and gently biting into it. "Better?" he asked while he was chewing it.
Harry couldn't hold the laughter in anymore. He let out a long loud laugh that got the attention from the rest of the staff. "I am sorry. Really I am. I just couldn't hold it in anymore." he said in between laughs. His laughs were soon joined by Hermione's and Moody's.
"I really do have horrible manners. Last night at dinner I spit a piece of Shepard's pie right on to Snape's nose." Moody and laughing even harder. "and to think the two of you missed it."
Harry, Hermione and Moody continued to laugh until Snape walked up to them. "If you three are done we should be getting to the hospital wing soon. We need to make sure Potter is not going to die or something."
Hermione was the first to stop laughing. "He's right we should be heading up there." Harry managed to control his laughter long enough to agree and began to make his way out from behind the table.
Moody and Hermione stood up from the table still laughing about the image of Snape with a large piece of half chewed pie on his nose. Harry, Hermione and Moody followed Snape up the hospital wing.
Harry bent over near Hermione ear and whispered "We should write Ron about that one."
Hermione giggled and nodded her head as they entered the hospital wing. They were both greeted by Dumbledore, Madame Pomfrey and McGonagall. Lupin was sitting in a chair near the edge of the room away from everyone else. Harry looked at Lupin and gave a weak smile. Lupin turned away.
Hermione squeezed his hand and lead him over to the nearest bed. "It will be okay Harry. We are going to make sure you are fine, and then you can go talk to Lupin."
Harry gave her a weak smile and nodded his head.
"Now Harry I am going to cast a spell on you that will let us see all the curses ever put on you. It may hurt some, but it is necessary to find out what Percy was trying to do to you. Now lie down on the bed and take this potion. It will help you relax and dull the pain." Madame Pomfrey said handing him a large glass with a bright blue liquid in it.
Harry eyed the glass and reluctantly gulped the potion down. Harry soon felt a tingling sensation through his body.
"Now Harry I want you to relax take deep steady breaths. Hermione I would like you put these restraints on Harry's arms and legs, and make sure they are tight."
"Why do we need these?" she asked.
"This spell may make Harry loose control of his body. He may thrash his arms and legs about and we don't want him to hurt us." Dumbledore said. "It will be okay."
Hermione nodded and began putting the restrains on Harry's legs. When she was putting them on his arms she bent down and kissed him check and whispered "I love you." into his ear.
Harry smiled and whispered back. "It will be okay Hermione. I will be fine. I love you too."
After the restrains were on Hermione moved over to stand next to the rest of the group.
"Professor Dumbledore" Harry said. "Since the pendants Hermione, Ron and I wear tell us what we are feeling will they be able to feel the pain I will be going through?" he asked.
"You are one step ahead of me. I am afraid so, but I don't think it will be as severe. We warned Ron this morning that he may feel some pain and not to worry. Miss Granger may feel more pain than Ron because you two are closer." he said with a half smile.
"I am sorry Hermione." Harry said.
"Don't be. I will be okay. Let's just get this over with." she said trying not to look as frightened as she really was. She felt McGonagall put her hand on her shoulder and give her a squeeze. Hermione looked at her professor and smiled.
"You may want to sit down." McGonagall said leading Hermione over to a chair near Lupin, who had moved his char closer to Harry's bed.
Hermione sat down and looked over at Lupin. He had an odd look on his face that she could not read. He looked lost, upset, guilty, tired, happy, lonely, and in pain at the same time. Lupin glanced over at her and gave her a mall grunt and turned away. Hermione decided to think about it later and turned her attention back to Harry.
"Harry start taking deep breaths now." Madame Pomfrey said standing over Harry. Harry began breathing in and out while looking at Hermione. Hermione smiled and began the breathing pattern Harry was doing. "Good Mr. Potter, now remember to relax. I don't know how long this is going to take, but it will be okay." she said giving Harry a reassuring smile.
"Commonsrt Accuro" Madam Pomfrey said, pointing her wand at Harry. A bright purple light flew out of her wand and surrounded Harry. Soon his body began moving uncontrollably. His legs and arm began kicking out against the restraints. He was screaming and arching his back up towards the ceiling. Soon the purple light around him turned orange, then yellow, blue, pink, black, red, and then back to purple. Colors were also shooting out of Harry's body and landing on a piece of parchment Madame Pomfrey set out.
Hermione began to feel horrible pains in her legs and arms; soon the pain was traveling up her body in to her stomach and chest. The pain was almost unbearable; tears began falling from her eyes. She let out an ear piercing shriek and yelled Harry's name. The pain was now all over her body. Lupin moved over to her and picked her out of the chair and gently set her on the bed next to Harry's
"Do you have any more of that potion?" Lupin asked.
"There is still some left from Harry's glass." Snape said handing it to him.
Lupin held Hermione up and put the glass to her lips. "Drink this Hermione, it will help you." he said pouring the blue liquid in her mouth.
Hermione swallowed the liquid and instantly felt most of the pain leaving her body. "Thank you" she stuttered and laid back on the bed.
She turned her head to look at Harry. He still had colors flying from him and landing on the parchment, but he was not screaming anymore, but his arms and legs were still thrashing about. Hermione couldn't look at him anymore. She closed her eyes and let the tear spill out.
Hermione didn't know when she fell asleep or how long she was, but when she opened her eyes she saw Harry sleeping in the bed next to hers. She was relieved to see the restraints were no longer around his arms and legs, but could see large purple burses around his wrist where the restraints were. Hermione sat up in her bed and was about to get out when Madame Pomfrey entered the room.
"Hermione dear you are up!"
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days."
"Three days? What happen?"
"Well, the pain was too much for you and Mr. Potter to bear and you both passed out."
"Has he woken up yet?" she asked looking over at Harry.
"Once, yesterday. But only for a few minutes. The first thing he said was your name; he wouldn't stop asking about you. He wanted to climb in the bed with you, but the poor guy couldn't get his legs to support him and he passed out again."
Hermione got up from her bed and walked over to Harry's bed. She ran her hands over his face and across his scar. She bent down and kissed his lips and murmured "Wake up soon darling. I love you."
"He will be okay Hermione" Madame Pomfrey said.
"Did you find out if anything is wrong with him? What did Percy do to him?"
"We are still working on it; Harry had a lot of curses in him. I don't think we realize how many until we saw them all."
Hermione let out a sigh and sat on the edge of Harry's bed and grabbed his hand. "Will he wake up soon?"
"I believe in the next couple of days he will. We just have to sit and wait."
"This is the worse part. I hate sitting and not knowing if he is going to be okay."
"He will be. Now you just rest some more. I am going to get you something to eat."
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." Hermione said as she watched her walk out the room.
Hermione turned over to look at Harry. He was mumbling something in his sleep. Hermione leaned over near him and began running her hands though his hair. "It's okay love. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you." she said and kissed him on the cheek. Harry stopped mumbling. "I love you Harry." she said and crawled in bed next to him, and laid her head on his chest and feel into a peaceful sleep.
Hermione awoke the next morning to the feelings of someone stroking her hair. She immediately opened her eyes and looked at Harry, but he was still unconscious and not moving. Hermione looked behind her and let out an excited yelled.
"MUM!" Hermione shrieked and jumped in her mum's arms.
"Hermione how are feelings? I heard what happen." she said looking at Harry.
"I am fine mum, I'm worried about Harry. It's been four days." she said and pulled out of the hug and sat back on the edge of Harry's bed.
"It will be okay dear." she said and kissed her daughter on the check.
"Mum how come you are here? Is everything okay?"
"It's fine dear. Dumbledore thought it would be best if we moved in to the castle until the threat of Voldemort is gone."
Hermione face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Really?!?"
"Yes. Molly, Author, Bill, Charlie, Dudley, Victor, Remus, Tonks, and my self as well as few other member of the order are all going to be living together."
"That's wonderful! Where at in the castle?"
"A few portraits down from where you, Ron, and Harry are staying. Dumbledore is going to put a door connecting our rooms so we can visit when we like." Mrs. Granger said looking at her daughter who had a confused look on her face. "Of course we will knock before we just barge in." she said smiling at her daughter and looked over at Harry.
"I am so glad that you are going to around this year mum." Hermione said grabbing Harry's hand and putting it on her lap.
"It will be good to have you around as well." Mrs. Granger said putting her hand on top of Harry's and Hermione's. "And to be around him too. I want to get to know him better. I know how much he means to you."
Hermione smiled. "Thank you mum. That means too much to me."
Mrs. Granger squeezed their hands and smiled. "I know. Now why don't we finish our talk we had this summer."
"Mum! Harry is right here."
"Oh honey he can't hear us."
"Mum for all we know Harry could be up and just pretending to sleep so he can hear what I say about him when he's not around." Hermione said and turned her head to glare at the still sleeping Harry. "Why don't I show you around school after I change and we have breakfast? Then if you still want to talk we can
"That sounds wonderful, but breakfast is already over with." Mrs. Granger said standing up from the chair next to Harry's bed. Hermione smiled at her mum and bent over to kiss Harry gently on the lips.
"I will be back soon love. I am going to show mum around the school." she whispered against his lips. "I love you."
Mrs. Granger smiled at the affection her daughter had towards Harry. "What are we going to do about getting you something to eat? I don't know were the food came from the morning, its just appeared on the table."
Hermione smiled "I know where the kitchen is, I am sure they would be willing to let me grab an apple or something."
"They?"
Hermione smiled. "House elves. You remember Dobby from Grimmauld Place?"
"Yes. The little guy who was always giving people socks"
"That's right. He was a house elf for a horrible family, but Harry set him free by tricking the family into giving him an article of clothing; a sock. So now Dobby is free and was working at Grimmauld Place, Harry was paying him. There are hundreds of house elves who work here. They are slaves here and they don't care. I've tried to give them clothes but they don't take them." Hermione said getting a little upset.
"It's okay dear. They don't know any better."
"I know that now. I still leave a sock or two out in hope that one will pick it up and will be free, but they don't."
Hermione said stopping in front of the portrait of the three children.
"Hermione is back!" one of the small children said.
"YAH!" the other two said.
"Hello all. I would like you to meet my mum."
"Oh!" the little girls said. "It is very nice to meet you."
Hermione's mum looked at the portrait with an amazed look on her face. "I don't know if I will get use to the pictures moving and talking." she said.
Hermione giggled. "I will take some time, they still catch me off guard." she said and looked at the three children playing. "Quidditch" Hermione said and portrait swung open.
Hermione and her mum walked into there common room and was greeted by Ron, Luna, Ginny, Victor, and who Hermione assumed was Dudley.
"Ron!" Hermione said and ran into his arms for a brotherly hug.
"Hermione I am so sorry!"
"Ron its okay really! Don't worry about it! I am so glad to see you! How are you?"
"I am doing okay. How's Harry?" he asked pulling out of the hug.
"He's still unconscious, but Madame Pomfrey says he will okay just fine."
"Do you think he will?" he said and pulled her back in to a hug and whispered "Are you feeling what I am feeling?"
Hermione nodded her head. "I think so. Let's talk about it later. I am going to show mum around the school."
Ron pulled her out of the hug again and smiled.
"Hermione how are you feeling?" Luna asked.
"I am fine Luna. How are you?"
"Relived that you are okay, I was so worried the other day when I heard what happen. Poor Ron was so worried he didn't eat for a several hours." she said with a smile.
All five laughed. Ron turned a bright shade of red and Dudley looked confused. "I must say that I have never seen a person eat as much as Ron does." Mrs. Granger said with a laugh. "I never though I would see the day when someone would eat out your father." she said looking at Hermione. "That man had a hallow leg."
Hermione smiled at the memory of her father always eating and never gaining an ounce of weight. "Just like Ron." and then turned to look at Dudley. "Hi I'm, Hermione. You must be Dudley."
Dudley looked nervous. "Hi. Yes I am Dudley. It's nice to meet you. Your mum talked about you a lot."
"It's nice to meet you too. I can't say that I've heard too much about you."
Dudley looked down at the ground. "I know I was horrible to Harry, but not anymore. He saved me that night. I owe him. Can I go see him sometime? I don't know if would like me to be there, but I would like to see him."
Hermione smiled and stepped towards Dudley. "I think he would like to have you stop by."
Dudley looked up at Hermione and smiled. "Thank you."
"Your welcome. Why don't I go get changed then I can take you by there while I show you and mum around school."
"Oh you don't have to show me around school, I know you want to spend time with your mum."
"I do Dudley, but your Harry's family and I want to get to know you as well. I don't see why I can't do both at the same time." Hermione said and walked over to her room and closed the door.
Dudley looked over at Ron and said. "You were right, she really is a greet person."
Ron smiled and looked around the room. "One of the greatest person I know." and wrapped his arm around Luna and pulled her tightly to her.
Hermione emerged from her room a few minutes later. "Come on mum and Dudley. We will make our way back to the hospital wing, after I show you the main areas of the castle, and were some of the more interesting things happen." she said looking at Ron.
"They weren't all my fault!"
Everyone laughed, but Mrs. Granger and Dudley. They just looked lost and confused.
Ginny noticed there looks of confusion and said. "You will understand after Hermione tells you about the events." she said with a smile and looked at Victor. "He was only at the school for a year and understands how they are."
Victor smiled at Ginny and warped his arm around her waist. "Ginny and Ron have told me some interesting stories about the trio. They are lucky they haven't got in to so serious trouble."
Hermione was shock by the action of Victor putting her arm around Ginny. Ginny giggled and walked over to Hermione and gave her a hug. "We have a lot of catching up to do. After Harry is out of the hospital we need to have a girls night, with Luna too. I am sure we all have a lot to say."
"You and Victor?" Hermione said
"Yes. Now go show your mum all the places you've had a near death experience. We will see you later." she said and pulled out of the hug and returned to Victor's arms.
Hermione took her mum and Dudley all around the school showing them the different classrooms and introducing them to various teachers they ran in to. Hermione's mum was horrified about the event she was told. Dudley was shocked and had a new respect for his cousin.
"I can't believe Harry and Ron fought a troll." Dudley said.
"I know. It was an amazing and very frightening night. Ron didn't really like me, but Harry ran to save me so Ron followed, after that night we became inseparable." Hermione said with a smile.
"I don't know if I could do that." Dudely said.
"Hermione when you said that Harry saved you in your first year I didn't think you meant he risked his life for you. I owe him."
"Mum he did want his instincts told him to do. He really does have a thing for saving people."
"And I am grateful for that." her mum said.
"Me too." Hermione said and began to feel an odd tingling sensation in her chest.
"Why are you glowing?" Dudley asked pointing to her chest
Hermione looked down to where Dudley was pointing. "It's my pendant." she said. "We have to get to Harry!" she said and began running down the hallway towards the hospital wing. Mrs. Granger and Dudley both looked at each other and began running after her.
Hermione busted into the hospital wing. "Harry!" she said and ran over to his bed.
Harry awoke the next morning with a sharp pain in his back. He tired to get up but was unable to because of the weight on his legs. He looked down to see Hermione curled up in his lap. Harry smiled. He removed a few strands of hair from her face. Hermione's eyes began to flutter open and she smiled when she saw Harry.
"Good morning" she said sleepily.
Harry smiled. "I really love seeing you first thing in the morning, but we have to fine a better way to sleep."
Hermione climbed out of his lap and stood up. "I am so sorry Harry. I didn't mean to fall asleep on you again." she said and stuck out her hand to help him up.
Harry grabbed her hand "I don't mind, but I think my back may have other feelings about the sleeping arrangement."
Hermione giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist and began rubbing his back. "Next time you can sleep on me."
Harry laughed. "I don't think so. Next time we will have to be in a bed."
Hermione blushed. "If your lucky." she said slyly. "I think we should head back to our room and change before breakfast. We have to be back to the hospital wing."
Harry nodded and grabbed her hand and led her back to the common room. They walked in silence until they reached the common room.
"Harry I really had a good time last night."
Harry smiled and kissed her briefly on the lips. "Your welcome."
They both parted to there rooms to change. They returned to their common room twenty minutes later to leave for breakfast.
When they entered the great hall the staff table was full. There was only one seat left next to Moody. Harry and Hermione made there way over to the table.
"Take the seat Hermione. I can stand."
"Are you sure? We can share it."
"No take it. I need to stand anywise. My legs are all cramped up still."
"I really am sorry."
"Don't worry about it."
"Good morning you two" Moody said letting parts of his breakfast fall out of his mouth and on his plate.
Hermione looked horrified at his display of table manners and put on a smile. "Good morning."
"Harry why don't get you a seat." Moody said piling on some more bacon and eggs on to his plate.
"No its okay, I don't really feel like sitting." he said grabbing a glass of pumpkin juice and taking a drink.
"You can have my seat I'm done here." Lupin grumbled and left the table.
Before Lupin could get pass Harry he grabbed his arm. "Lupin can I talk to you after we get done at the hospital wing?"
Lupin looked even more upset than ever. "I guess." he said and pulled his arm away from Harry's and left the great hall.
Harry watched him leave the room feeling even more guilt than before.
"You didn't do anything wrong Harry. Don't feel guilty." Hermione said picking up a piece of fruit.
"She's right. He's been like this for a while. Its not you, but I do think he needs to talk about whatever is bothering him." Moody said reaching across Hermione and grabbing a bagel.
Hermione gasped at his action. "Honestly if you wanted the bagel you could have asked me. You're worse than Ron!"
Moody's jaw dropped open and a piece of bacon feel out of it and on to the floor, he was speechless but managed to mutter a " I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to upset you; I guess I am just a little particular about table manners." Hermione said.
Harry was trying his best not to laugh at what Hermione had said to Moody. "You should see her nag about Ron's." Harry said with a smile.
"You're not much better!" Hermione sand glaring at him. She turned back to Moody who was starring at his plate. "I really didn't mean to upset you. I shouldn't have said anything."
"No, Its okay. I will work on them." he said and picked up bacon and gently biting into it. "Better?" he asked while he was chewing it.
Harry couldn't hold the laughter in anymore. He let out a long loud laugh that got the attention from the rest of the staff. "I am sorry. Really I am. I just couldn't hold it in anymore." he said in between laughs. His laughs were soon joined by Hermione's and Moody's.
"I really do have horrible manners. Last night at dinner I spit a piece of Shepard's pie right on to Snape's nose." Moody and laughing even harder. "and to think the two of you missed it."
Harry, Hermione and Moody continued to laugh until Snape walked up to them. "If you three are done we should be getting to the hospital wing soon. We need to make sure Potter is not going to die or something."
Hermione was the first to stop laughing. "He's right we should be heading up there." Harry managed to control his laughter long enough to agree and began to make his way out from behind the table.
Moody and Hermione stood up from the table still laughing about the image of Snape with a large piece of half chewed pie on his nose. Harry, Hermione and Moody followed Snape up the hospital wing.
Harry bent over near Hermione ear and whispered "We should write Ron about that one."
Hermione giggled and nodded her head as they entered the hospital wing. They were both greeted by Dumbledore, Madame Pomfrey and McGonagall. Lupin was sitting in a chair near the edge of the room away from everyone else. Harry looked at Lupin and gave a weak smile. Lupin turned away.
Hermione squeezed his hand and lead him over to the nearest bed. "It will be okay Harry. We are going to make sure you are fine, and then you can go talk to Lupin."
Harry gave her a weak smile and nodded his head.
"Now Harry I am going to cast a spell on you that will let us see all the curses ever put on you. It may hurt some, but it is necessary to find out what Percy was trying to do to you. Now lie down on the bed and take this potion. It will help you relax and dull the pain." Madame Pomfrey said handing him a large glass with a bright blue liquid in it.

"I am sorry Hermione." Harry said.
"Don't be. I will be okay. Let's just get this over with." she said trying not to look as frightened as she really was. She felt McGonagall put her hand on her shoulder and give her a squeeze. Hermione looked at her professor and smiled.
"You may want to sit down." McGonagall said leading Hermione over to a chair near Lupin, who had moved his char closer to Harry's bed.
Hermione sat down and looked over at Lupin. He had an odd look on his face that she could not read. He looked lost, upset, guilty, tired, happy, lonely, and in pain at the same time. Lupin glanced over at her and gave her a mall grunt and turned away. Hermione decided to think about it later and turned her attention back to Harry.
"Harry start taking deep breaths now." Madame Pomfrey said standing over Harry. Harry began breathing in and out while looking at Hermione. Hermione smiled and began the breathing pattern Harry was doing. "Good Mr. Potter, now remember to relax. I don't know how long this is going to take, but it will be okay." she said giving Harry a reassuring smile.
"Commonsrt Accuro" Madam Pomfrey said, pointing her wand at Harry. A bright purple light flew out of her wand and surrounded Harry. Soon his body began moving uncontrollably. His legs and arm began kicking out against the restraints. He was screaming and arching his back up towards the ceiling. Soon the purple light around him turned orange, then yellow, blue, pink, black, red, and then back to purple. Colors were also shooting out of Harry's body and landing on a piece of parchment Madame Pomfrey set out.
Hermione began to feel horrible pains in her legs and arms; soon the pain was traveling up her body in to her stomach and chest. The pain was almost unbearable; tears began falling from her eyes. She let out an ear piercing shriek and yelled Harry's name. The pain was now all over her body. Lupin moved over to her and picked her out of the chair and gently set her on the bed next to Harry's
"Do you have any more of that potion?" Lupin asked.
"There is still some left from Harry's glass." Snape said handing it to him.
Lupin held Hermione up and put the glass to her lips. "Drink this Hermione, it will help you." he said pouring the blue liquid in her mouth.
Hermione swallowed the liquid and instantly felt most of the pain leaving her body. "Thank you" she stuttered and laid back on the bed.
She turned her head to look at Harry. He still had colors flying from him and landing on the parchment, but he was not screaming anymore, but his arms and legs were still thrashing about. Hermione couldn't look at him anymore. She closed her eyes and let the tear spill out.
Hermione didn't know when she fell asleep or how long she was, but when she opened her eyes she saw Harry sleeping in the bed next to hers. She was relieved to see the restraints were no longer around his arms and legs, but could see large purple burses around his wrist where the restraints were. Hermione sat up in her bed and was about to get out when Madame Pomfrey entered the room.
"Hermione dear you are up!"
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days."
"Three days? What happen?"
"Well, the pain was too much for you and Mr. Potter to bear and you both passed out."
"Has he woken up yet?" she asked looking over at Harry.
"Once, yesterday. But only for a few minutes. The first thing he said was your name; he wouldn't stop asking about you. He wanted to climb in the bed with you, but the poor guy couldn't get his legs to support him and he passed out again."
Hermione got up from her bed and walked over to Harry's bed. She ran her hands over his face and across his scar. She bent down and kissed his lips and murmured "Wake up soon darling. I love you."
"He will be okay Hermione" Madame Pomfrey said.
"Did you find out if anything is wrong with him? What did Percy do to him?"
"We are still working on it; Harry had a lot of curses in him. I don't think we realize how many until we saw them all."
Hermione let out a sigh and sat on the edge of Harry's bed and grabbed his hand. "Will he wake up soon?"
"I believe in the next couple of days he will. We just have to sit and wait."
"This is the worse part. I hate sitting and not knowing if he is going to be okay."
"He will be. Now you just rest some more. I am going to get you something to eat."
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." Hermione said as she watched her walk out the room.
Hermione turned over to look at Harry. He was mumbling something in his sleep. Hermione leaned over near him and began running her hands though his hair. "It's okay love. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you." she said and kissed him on the cheek. Harry stopped mumbling. "I love you Harry." she said and crawled in bed next to him, and laid her head on his chest and feel into a peaceful sleep.
Hermione awoke the next morning to the feelings of someone stroking her hair. She immediately opened her eyes and looked at Harry, but he was still unconscious and not moving. Hermione looked behind her and let out an excited yelled.
"MUM!" Hermione shrieked and jumped in her mum's arms.
"Hermione how are feelings? I heard what happen." she said looking at Harry.
"I am fine mum, I'm worried about Harry. It's been four days." she said and pulled out of the hug and sat back on the edge of Harry's bed.
"It will be okay dear." she said and kissed her daughter on the check.
"Mum how come you are here? Is everything okay?"
"It's fine dear. Dumbledore thought it would be best if we moved in to the castle until the threat of Voldemort is gone."
Hermione face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Really?!?"
"Yes. Molly, Author, Bill, Charlie, Dudley, Victor, Remus, Tonks, and my self as well as few other member of the order are all going to be living together."
"That's wonderful! Where at in the castle?"
"A few portraits down from where you, Ron, and Harry are staying. Dumbledore is going to put a door connecting our rooms so we can visit when we like." Mrs. Granger said looking at her daughter who had a confused look on her face. "Of course we will knock before we just barge in." she said smiling at her daughter and looked over at Harry.
"I am so glad that you are going to around this year mum." Hermione said grabbing Harry's hand and putting it on her lap.
"It will be good to have you around as well." Mrs. Granger said putting her hand on top of Harry's and Hermione's. "And to be around him too. I want to get to know him better. I know how much he means to you."
Hermione smiled. "Thank you mum. That means too much to me."
Mrs. Granger squeezed their hands and smiled. "I know. Now why don't we finish our talk we had this summer."
"Mum! Harry is right here."
"Oh honey he can't hear us."
"Mum for all we know Harry could be up and just pretending to sleep so he can hear what I say about him when he's not around." Hermione said and turned her head to glare at the still sleeping Harry. "Why don't I show you around school after I change and we have breakfast? Then if you still want to talk we can
"That sounds wonderful, but breakfast is already over with." Mrs. Granger said standing up from the chair next to Harry's bed. Hermione smiled at her mum and bent over to kiss Harry gently on the lips.
"I will be back soon love. I am going to show mum around the school." she whispered against his lips. "I love you."
Mrs. Granger smiled at the affection her daughter had towards Harry. "What are we going to do about getting you something to eat? I don't know were the food came from the morning, its just appeared on the table."
Hermione smiled "I know where the kitchen is, I am sure they would be willing to let me grab an apple or something."
"They?"
Hermione smiled. "House elves. You remember Dobby from Grimmauld Place?"
"Yes. The little guy who was always giving people socks"
"That's right. He was a house elf for a horrible family, but Harry set him free by tricking the family into giving him an article of clothing; a sock. So now Dobby is free and was working at Grimmauld Place, Harry was paying him. There are hundreds of house elves who work here. They are slaves here and they don't care. I've tried to give them clothes but they don't take them." Hermione said getting a little upset.
"It's okay dear. They don't know any better."
"I know that now. I still leave a sock or two out in hope that one will pick it up and will be free, but they don't."
Hermione said stopping in front of the portrait of the three children.
"Hermione is back!" one of the small children said.
"YAH!" the other two said.
"Hello all. I would like you to meet my mum."
"Oh!" the little girls said. "It is very nice to meet you."
Hermione's mum looked at the portrait with an amazed look on her face. "I don't know if I will get use to the pictures moving and talking." she said.
Hermione giggled. "I will take some time, they still catch me off guard." she said and looked at the three children playing. "Quidditch" Hermione said and portrait swung open.
Hermione and her mum walked into there common room and was greeted by Ron, Luna, Ginny, Victor, and who Hermione assumed was Dudley.
"Ron!" Hermione said and ran into his arms for a brotherly hug.
"Hermione I am so sorry!"
"Ron its okay really! Don't worry about it! I am so glad to see you! How are you?"
"I am doing okay. How's Harry?" he asked pulling out of the hug.
"He's still unconscious, but Madame Pomfrey says he will okay just fine."
"Do you think he will?" he said and pulled her back in to a hug and whispered "Are you feeling what I am feeling?"
Hermione nodded her head. "I think so. Let's talk about it later. I am going to show mum around the school."
Ron pulled her out of the hug again and smiled.
"Hermione how are you feeling?" Luna asked.
"I am fine Luna. How are you?"
"Relived that you are okay, I was so worried the other day when I heard what happen. Poor Ron was so worried he didn't eat for a several hours." she said with a smile.
All five laughed. Ron turned a bright shade of red and Dudley looked confused. "I must say that I have never seen a person eat as much as Ron does." Mrs. Granger said with a laugh. "I never though I would see the day when someone would eat out your father." she said looking at Hermione. "That man had a hallow leg."
Hermione smiled at the memory of her father always eating and never gaining an ounce of weight. "Just like Ron." and then turned to look at Dudley. "Hi I'm, Hermione. You must be Dudley."
Dudley looked nervous. "Hi. Yes I am Dudley. It's nice to meet you. Your mum talked about you a lot."
"It's nice to meet you too. I can't say that I've heard too much about you."
Dudley looked down at the ground. "I know I was horrible to Harry, but not anymore. He saved me that night. I owe him. Can I go see him sometime? I don't know if would like me to be there, but I would like to see him."
Hermione smiled and stepped towards Dudley. "I think he would like to have you stop by."
Dudley looked up at Hermione and smiled. "Thank you."
"Your welcome. Why don't I go get changed then I can take you by there while I show you and mum around school."
"Oh you don't have to show me around school, I know you want to spend time with your mum."
"I do Dudley, but your Harry's family and I want to get to know you as well. I don't see why I can't do both at the same time." Hermione said and walked over to her room and closed the door.
Dudley looked over at Ron and said. "You were right, she really is a greet person."
Ron smiled and looked around the room. "One of the greatest person I know." and wrapped his arm around Luna and pulled her tightly to her.
Hermione emerged from her room a few minutes later. "Come on mum and Dudley. We will make our way back to the hospital wing, after I show you the main areas of the castle, and were some of the more interesting things happen." she said looking at Ron.
"They weren't all my fault!"
Everyone laughed, but Mrs. Granger and Dudley. They just looked lost and confused.
Ginny noticed there looks of confusion and said. "You will understand after Hermione tells you about the events." she said with a smile and looked at Victor. "He was only at the school for a year and understands how they are."
Victor smiled at Ginny and warped his arm around her waist. "Ginny and Ron have told me some interesting stories about the trio. They are lucky they haven't got in to so serious trouble."
Hermione was shock by the action of Victor putting her arm around Ginny. Ginny giggled and walked over to Hermione and gave her a hug. "We have a lot of catching up to do. After Harry is out of the hospital we need to have a girls night, with Luna too. I am sure we all have a lot to say."
"You and Victor?" Hermione said
"Yes. Now go show your mum all the places you've had a near death experience. We will see you later." she said and pulled out of the hug and returned to Victor's arms.
Hermione took her mum and Dudley all around the school showing them the different classrooms and introducing them to various teachers they ran in to. Hermione's mum was horrified about the event she was told. Dudley was shocked and had a new respect for his cousin.
"I can't believe Harry and Ron fought a troll." Dudley said.
"I know. It was an amazing and very frightening night. Ron didn't really like me, but Harry ran to save me so Ron followed, after that night we became inseparable." Hermione said with a smile.
"I don't know if I could do that." Dudely said.
"Hermione when you said that Harry saved you in your first year I didn't think you meant he risked his life for you. I owe him."
"Mum he did want his instincts told him to do. He really does have a thing for saving people."
"And I am grateful for that." her mum said.
"Me too." Hermione said and began to feel an odd tingling sensation in her chest.
"Why are you glowing?" Dudley asked pointing to her chest
Hermione looked down to where Dudley was pointing. "It's my pendant." she said. "We have to get to Harry!" she said and began running down the hallway towards the hospital wing. Mrs. Granger and Dudley both looked at each other and began running after her.
Hermione busted into the hospital wing. "Harry!" she said and ran over to his bed.
