A.N. Hey guys. Well not much to say for this chapter although I know you all want another lemon. And I may appease you. I just don't want to have lemons every two chapters, but for now I may appease you. You will just have to read! OH yeah and I claim no ownership of Harry Potter or FF8.

'...'thinking "..."talking


Hermione skidded into the hospital wing. Her footing was lost and she grimaced as her knees hit the floor with a resounding crack.

"Hermione," Ron said as she nearly ran him over in her haste. Hermione grabbed his arm to keep from falling again. "Where is Dumbledore?" she asked sharply.

"He's in with Pomfrey. Hermione why... Hermione!" Ron yelled as she took off towards the office.

"Miss Granger," Madam Pomfrey fumed. "I would have thought better of you. Honestly, throwing yourself around the Hospital Wing likeyou've been possesed! Such manners are simply unacceptable!"

"Excuse me," Hermione said pushing past her.

"Well I do say," Madam Pomfrey said as she put a hand to her chest, aghast at such unruly behavior from the Head Girl.

"Headmaster it's the Precaution spell. Ginny's been cast under the Precaution spell. It was cast on her on the train. That's why she's been acting so off. Whoever cast it on her, her's and their thoughts are mingling. That's why she's in constant pain," Hermione said quickly. Her breath was coming out in pants, although a sense of achievement swirled through her system.

"Not quite Miss Granger," a sneering voice said out of the shadows of the room.

Hermione fought the urge to back up as Snape's looming form stepped out of the corner.

"You are correct in the fact that she is under the Precaution spell. It was not however cast on her at the train," Snape sneered, his voice dripping with the satisfaction of being able to correct Hermione, since it was not done as easily as most.

Hermione bit her lip. "Then when was it cast?" she asked with concern.

"No one seems to know," Snape said, his upper lip curling in disgust.


Remus sped through the halls, 'What is going on? They are far too young for this sort of nonsense. If Dumbledore send them on a mission I will personally cause him severe bodily harm.'

Remus came to the Room of Requirement and pushed the door open, sliding in. He pulled off the Invisibility Cloak. Dumbledore suspected that many of the portraits in the halls were spies. Not many places were safe to meet anymore, least of all his office. They needed a place where complete secrecy could be certified, a place only the Room of Requirement could provide.

The room right now, greatly resembled the dungeons except the stones were bright blue and white.

"Remus," Dumbledore said solemnly. "I know you are less than pleased with me, I am not too pleased with myself. I have a proposition for you. Could you train them, to defend themselves? So they will not be open targets when the time comes. Although I ask that you not just train Harry, Ron, Hermione, but Draco as well."

Remus' heart leapt in his chest. "So... So your not sending them on a mission?" he choked out.

"Merlin, no!" Dumbledore chuckled. "But would you be able to train them?"

Remus' brow furrowed, "They will not get along. But I will do my best," he said.

Dumbledore beamed, his age almost draining from him, his sparkle returning.


Hermione flopped down on a couch in her common room. She laid back as her legs dangled over the arm of said couch. Ginny still hadn't woken up, and was making no signs of doing so soon. 'The question is though, who is in her mind? Are they friend or enemy? Why did they do it? To get close to Harry?' she thought.

Hermione groaned, hitting her forehead with her hands. Her bag slipped and the Wolfsbane potion fell out and rolled along the floor. 'I really need to go find Remus, it's almost three, and I will be needing another set of clothes,' she mused while reaching for the vile.

"Fine, fine," she said to the room putting the vile back in her bag.

She walked up the stairs trussed in gold and red. She pushed the door at the top of the stairs open and covered her mouth in astonishment.

The room was circular, painted a deep red color, with a huge four poster bed that was covered in silk gold sheets. Hermione threw her bag at the wall.

The figure moving on it halted. "Don't fear me. It's alright. My name is Griever, I am the Gryffindor lion. I guard your things when you are gone. May I inquire your name?"it said in a low voice.

Griever it seemed was stuck on the wall, like a moving painting. He seated himself across the room from her, his gold main shining in the evening sun.

'Ack! I have to go!' she thought suddenly.

"Griever please, I won't be back till tomorrow can this wait?" she said throwing another set of clothes in her bag.

"As you wish," The lion re-traced his earlier steps.

As the door closed behind her Hermione had the thought of, 'My walls are talking to me... I've lost it.'


"Sugarplums," she said as the door slid open. Hermione put her things down and looked around the room. Remus was sitting on the bed, papers strewn across it. His glasses were hanging slightly off his nose. His grey eyes shifted to her once she came in the room. A smile lit his face and he came towards her. He placed a gentle kiss on her nose.

"Hello Sprite."

Hermione held up the vile. "Snape sends his compliments."

Remus chuckled, "I'm sure he does."

"It's for both of us so... you first." She said mischievously, as she held the vile out to him.

"Chicken," He said taking the vile and going into the bathroom. "Where's your sense of adventure?"

Hermione snorted, "Buried beneath my sense of self-preservation."

"Good place to have it," Remus mused before swallowing half of the disgusting liquid.

Hermione smiled as he practically stuck his head under the sink to get rid of the nasty aftertaste. Hermione looked at the loathsome bottle glaring a hole in it.

She sighed and downed the rest of the bottle.

Snape slowly entered the black circle of cloaks, his black eyes glittering in the moonlight. A collective murmur swept through the group as he came to stand before a withered man.

"You bring word?" the withered man said his hand reaching out to remove the hood.

"I do. Dumbledore has discovered the Weasley's condition my Lord," Snape said bowing an not raising himself up.

"Do they know who it is in her mind yet?" The angry hiss made the group recoil slightly, edging towards the outside of the circle.

"No my Lord," Snape said not daring to look up. The sight would terrify even him.

Red eyes staring at him through an angry slit, hands that seemed as if they were peeling reaching out to him. He knew that a wand was safely tucked away in his right palm, ready to give an unforgivable curse if needed. Snape knew his life was a stake.

"What to do then... what to do?" the voice spat. "Severus I have a job for you."

"My Lord?" Snape asked from his position.


Harry rolled out of his bed, his hand clutching his forehead.

"Harry?" Ron asked going to him. "Are you alright?"

"It was almost like he was excited and mad at the same time, I don't understand. Com'on," he said grabbing his shirt. "It's got something to do with Ginny."

Ron grabbed his shirt following him. He simply threw it over his pajama pants, his strides barely keeping up with Harry's.

Ron was in no way surprised when Harry broke out into a run and only increased his pace to keep up.

Lightning struck outside and thunder clapped. Ron wrapped his arms around himself, 'What an eerie night. I sure hpe Ginny's alright.'

Harry threw the doors to the Hospital Wing open and running to her bedside.

Her body was covered in sweat and she was mumbling incoherently. Harry leaned down touching her face, "Ginny, Ginny are you alright?"

Ginny sat up suddenly, gasping for air that of which she seemed to be deprived.

Her eyes turned to him, they were black as night. "Harry?"
