Hermione yawned as she looked out the window and realised it was dawn. She glanced over at Shayne who was fast asleep in the bed. A hand touched her shoulder. She jumped.
" I thought you might want something hot " said Ginny handing her a cup of tea.
" Thanks " mumbled Hermione and she took the cup.
" Did you get any sleep at all? she asked Ginny.
" A few winks ... I noticed you didn't lie down at all."
" I...couldn't sleep...too many things on my mind..."
" This has all gone wrong hasn't it? " said Ginny.
" Wrong?" said Hermione.
" Yeah... I mean... he killed his Father and we're protecting him... doesn't that make us crinimals too?"
" It's crossed my mind " said Hermione.
" Crossed your mind... I was talking more in the line of I just realised that."
" He had his reason's Ginny."
" Hermione as far as my knowledge of pure love extends... killing people doesn't fit the character of a well rounded person."
Hermione sighed and dug her hand into her head. " I am trying my best Ginny. What do you want me to do... throw him out... let the Aurors get him and punish him ... when they dont know the truth. Tell me what to do... because I'm open to ideas if you have them."
Ginny remained silent.
" Well if that's all you have to contribute... kindly keep out of it..." Within seconds Hermione burst into tears.
" I cant handle this..." she spluttered. Ginny extended her arm as comfort. Ron slammed open the door.
" Hermione whats the matter... I ...hey...whats going on?"
Ginny looked up and Hermione squeeled. Harry walked in and stepped back shocked.
" Is that Shayne...?"
" It is " said Ginny.
" Ron snarled. " Once bitten twice shy ...eh Hermione."
Hermione cried as tears rushed down her face. She ran from the room. Ron stood in shock. Ginny glared at him and she shut the door.
" That wasn't called for."
" That " cried Ron pointing to Shayne asleep. " Wasn't called for either."
" You're pathetic " cried Ginny.
" Me?" said Ron.
" He's injured " cried Ginny. " He didn't do anything with her... Jesus Ron... are you clueless?"
Harry intervened. " There's no point fighting... we have to deal with our problem."
" What Problem?" asked Ginny.
" HIM " yelled both Harry and Ron as they pointed at Shayne.
