RECAP: Pierre has fallen gravely ill. The Healers are giving him two potions within twenty-four hours in hopes of helping him avoid death.

Your Night-15

By: Silver Ice

"Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, we've given Pierre the first potion. He seems to be reacting well to it. His condition is still stable. Of course, he'll have to stay at St. Mungo's to get the second potion and to ensure a full recovery. There really is no need for you to remain here today." A young Healer explained to Hermione and Ron, smiling comfortingly at them.

"All right, thank you. When would it be best for us to return?" Hermione asked.

"Tomorrow evening would be best if you wanted to stop by and see how the second potion is working," the Healer answered, "I really must be on my way though. Pray for the best!" The Healer quickly dashed off after a group of people caring a man whose head was slowly shrinking.

"On Ron, I hope he's all right. He's done so much for me. I can't believe this is happening to him. Bruno had to have been the one to poison him. Oh, this just isn't fair!" Hermione exclaimed, hugging Ron tightly as a tear fell from her eyes.

"It's going to be all right Hermione. The best Healers are looking after him, and they're treating him with the best potions know to the wizarding world." Ron explained, sounding logical in all his conclusions.

"I know you're right, I just don't want anything bad to happen to him. I don't want him to..." Hermione didn't continue. She couldn't bring herself to admit that Pierre might actually be dying.

"Come on, let's go home. We'll come back tomorrow. Maybe he'll be better by then." Ron said, comfortingly.

"Yeah. You're right. Let's go." Hermione agreed, as Ron helped her stand up. The two apperated home, and Hermione headed straight for the couch. She sat down with a sigh and Ron plopped down next to her. "I love you," she said, gazing adoringly into Ron's eyes.

"Yeah, well I love you more," Ron said, tenderly kissing her.

Hermione smiled up at him and felt the joy of simply laying with Ron on the couch. Hermione didn't know how long they'd been lying down, but by the time she heard the knock on the door, Ron had already fallen asleep. She gently moved the arm Ron had draped over her waist, and she tip toed quietly to the door. Without a second thought, she unlocked it and opened it.

She threw a hand to her mouth and gasped. Bruno, his eyes full of rage, was standing in front of her. "You, what are you doing here?" Hermione exclaimed, taking a quick step back.

"I'm here to kill you. I gave you your chance to join the Knights. I let you live, and how do you repay me? You leave and take Pierre with you!" Bruno snapped, pulling out his wand and advancing menacingly towards Hermione.

"I told you I'd never join the Knights, and now, nobody else will either!" Hermione shouted, pulling out her own wand.

"You are a fool of a girl. You could have been so much more." Bruno declared.

"You're wrong." Hermione snapped back.

"Ava-" Bruno did not have time to finish his statement.

"Stupefy!" Ron shouted. Bruno collapsed to the floor, his wand landing besides him. "Hermione, are you okay?"

"I'm okay now. It certainly took you long enough to wake up!" Hermione said, playfully hitting Ron on the shoulder.

"Come on, let's get this guy down to the ministry. I'm sure they'll be glad to get the...leader of the Knights back?" Ron asked, looking down at Bruno questioningly.

"Yes. I'm sure they will be." Hermione said, still refusing to give up anymore information. Hermione and Ron both clutched Bruno, and with a pop, they dissaperated to Hermione's boss's office. Mr. Deseo quickly stood up when he saw the collapsed Bruno on the floor of his office.

"Hermione, what is this? What happened to him?" Mr. Deseo asked quickly, dashing around his desk frantically.

"Nothing. Ron just stupefied him. He came to kill me, this is Bruno. The leader of the Knights of Darkness. I don't know how he found me so fast, I'm just grateful Ron stopped him." Hermione explained.

"Goodness Hermione, you've really outdone yourself on this case. All the information from an inside source, and now you've managed to catch the most important guy! If we take down the Knights, the Prophet will have a field day!" Mr. Deseo exclaimed as Ron and he sat Bruno up in a chair. Mr. Deseo quickly left his office and returned a moment later smiling.

"The keepers at Azkaban will arrive shortly. Bruno will be off to Azkaban tonight." Mr. Deseo said, rubbing his palms together proudly.

The three patiently waited, and soon two muscular men flooed into the office.

"Gerald, we hear you have someone for us." The guards said, cracking their knuckles as they advanced towards Bruno.

"Yes indeed boys. This one is eligible for the kiss too." Mr. Deseo said. The guards grabbed Bruno and headed back towards the fireplace.

"Excellent. He'll get what he deserves. The Dementers will be thrilled." The taller guard said. With that, the men were gone.

"Hermione. Thank you again. Mr. Weasley, thank you too. Now get out of here." Mr. Deseo said with a sincere smile. Hermione flashed a smile back before Ron and her left.

IIllII

Two days later, Ron and Hermione sat in the waiting room at St. Mungo's, eager to find out how Pierre was doing. They saw various people pass through the room. Some with disfigurements, and some acting insane. They waited nearly a half an hour for a tall Healer to greet them.

"I'm pleased to tell you the potions worked! Pierre woke up just a few hours ago. His temperature is fine and he doesn't seem to be harmed in any way." The Healer said, smiling.

Hermione squealed in excitement and hugged Ron. "Do you hear that? He's going to be okay Ron! He's going to be fine." Ron smiled back at her as the Healer led them to see Pierre.

Pierre was lying on his bed, propped up by a large stack of plush pillows. Flowers that Hermione had brought him the day before were sitting on the table besides him. He grinned like a little boy when he saw Hermione.

"Pierre! I thought I'd lost you forever. I'm so glad you're all right. Have you heard, they've got Bruno. He's locked up at Azkaban now with all the Dementers. His trial will be at the end of the month, and he's almost guaranteed the Dementer's Kiss." Hermione explained, as she hugged Pierre. Pierre smiled as Ron shook his hand.

"That's excellent Hermione! Now no one will have to live under his tyranny." Pierre replied.

Pierre beamed as he glanced at Hermione's smiling face. He saw Ron looking adoringly at her, his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and he knew that somehow, everything in the world was going to be all right.

End

A/N: I'm so sorry, for the umpteenth time, that I'm such a slow, lazy, procrastinator. I really enjoyed writing this story, and I know that this may not be the best ending, but I like it. I'm going to be honest. Pierre was supposed to die. But I just couldn't do that to him! Anyway, thanks again for reading! I loved hearing all your comments, and I can't wait to hear more! Much love.
