Chapter 12 Brotherly Love

A/N It's a short chapter, sorry

As he hurried along the corridor he whipped out the map, he knew it was Hermione that was in trouble, he didn't know how he knew….. he just did. Reading the map he saw that she was in the head-boy/girl bathroom, not moving, he quickened his pace to a jog, ripping through tapestries and jumping down staircases. He stopped suddenly as Snape passed by, grinning. "Whatever" he muttered and continued to the portrait of a monk holding a tu tu concealing the bathroom. "Open up." "No password, no entry" replied the painting. "I haven't got time for this." He muttered and pulled out his wand "Bombarda!" he shouted and the portrait exploded. "Silencio!" he muttered, before the explosion could make any noise, he had silenced it. He tore through the entrance to find a disheveled, stark-naked, Hermione on the ground sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. "Hermione!" he said while kneeling down and taking her in his arms. "It's all right, it'll be okay." He comforted while reaching up to the towel rack and wrapping a towel around her. They sat there for a while, him rocking and comforting her and she sobbing on to his shoulder.
