I don't own harry potter that's all jk
Thank you for the feedback I'm incorporating it this chapter if anyone has any more feedback please leave a review.
Also I've noticed that in some of the other chapters some spelling mistakes have been made most of them are because I'm writing this on a phone and it autocorrects a lot.

Chapter 4- lockdown
Both are looking at Hermione in shock.
"Bellatrix Lestrange is dead." Tonks said confused
"I saw her with my own two eyes"
"But didn't Molly Weasley kill her?" Martin asks
"Yes, which is why we should get her in here as well as the other Weasleys and Harry Potter in case she attacks the burrow if she is alive. Then we can go over her statements with her"
"Where's Malfoy?" Tonks asks realising he's not there.
"He's securing the body gets back to autopsy."
"Someone died?" Martin asks
"Yes, a man, I didn't recognise him. Bellatrix was standing above him searching for a wand, I cast a stunner at her but she apparated"
Suddenly the doors opened once again and Draco came in.
"What in the name of merlin is going on?"
"He doesn't know?" Tonks asks
"No we split up to search and we have an alert system a red flare means body, green flare means chasing someone. That way we could say we were in danger."
"I still haven't got an explanation!?"
"Malfoy. Bellatrix lestrange is apparently alive" Tonks says still confused
"W-w-what. No she's dead"
"I saw her myself"
"Oh no this isn't good" He says paling more
"Okay here's what's going to happen, draco you will go get Andromada Tonks and your mother and bring them here, bring Teddy here too please, don't tell them anything just tell them it's of the utmost importance. Hermione you get all Weasleys and Harry Potter except for Bill, Fleur, Arthur and Percy. Tell them the same as what I just told Draco. Tonks go get Arthur and Percy they should be in their offices and I'll contact Bill and Fleur through the French ministry. You two can use my private flop network."
Hermione went first and landed in the Weasley living roomroom where Harry and Ron were playing wizards chess and the twins were playing exploding snap with Ginny. They all looked up hearing Hermione come through, they all looked incredibly confused. Ginny was the first to stand up and walk towards her.
"Hermione is everything okay? Why aren't you at work?"
"Is Molly and Charlie here?"
"Yes..." Fred says worriedly
"Fred can you get her please and hurry."
He apparated away with a pop.
"What's going on!?" Ron barked getting agitated.
"It isn't my place to say when we get to the ministry all will be explained. I need you all to floo to the head of magical law enforcements office."
Harry, Ginny and George step forward towards the fireplace while Ron looks angry and scared.
"No! I'm not leaving until I get an explanation!"
"Don't be stupid Ron. It's obviously important" Harry said obviously annoyed at Ron and worried for everyone's safety.
They all step into the floo network individually and go to her bosses office when Fred apparates back with Molly and Charlie. Charlie was wearing a black robe with wet hair and a very red looking face,he had obviously been dragged out of the shower.
"You couldn't have let him get changed first!?"
"I didn't mean to Mione you just worried me."
He gave him a conflicted look before getting out her wand and drying Charlie and changing him into clothes.
"Thanks" he thanked shyly obviously embarrassed.
"Alright we need to floo to the head of magical law enforcements office."
They went one by one until Hermione was the last one. She stepped out of the fireplace to see all of the Weasley family on two sofas, Tonks was on the right side of Martin. Hermione gave him a look as to ask if she was supposed to which he subtlely nodded his head to. She walked to the left side. The whole Weasley clan looked extremely worried, Fleur looked like she was about to faint. Then Draco barged with Andromada and Narcissa in tow, little Teddy was in Andromada's arms.
"Andy? Teddy?" Harry asked obviously surprised at the appearance.
Andromada handed Teddy to him and then sat in one of the two chairs next to the sofas while Narcissa. Meanwhile Ginny was watching Draco like a hawk. Draco then surprised her even more by moving and standing next to Hermione.
"Now I'm sure you are all confused on what is happening, earlier today there was a report of the dark mark above Hogsmeade (everyone gasped at this), Hermione and Draco were the hit-wizard and witch sent out to inspect this..."
"What!? Draco is not a hit-wizard!" Ginny screamed out interrupting him.
Draco looked terrified and went even paler.
"Actually I got the job a couple days ago but I wanted to tell you later on tonight after my first day on the job."
"Ginny maybe just wait until later to talk to Draco about this?" Molly says before Ginny can say anything.
"Right as I was saying Hermione and Draco went to investigate the village. They split up. After asking around the stores they couldn't find out anything, do you want to take over from here Hermione?"
"Sure. On my way to see if Draco had spooter anything I looked down a narrow alley and saw a women kneeling over something I couldn't tell at the time what it was but I was looking for a while because I had a bad feeling, I took a few steps forward and noticed that it was a body. I pointed my wand at the women and told her to stand up slowly. She did and when she turned her head at me I recognised her. It was Bellatrix Lestrange."
Everyone gasped and looked at Molly apart from Naecissa and Andromada who had tears sliding down their faces. Molly looked extremely confused and worried. Hermione takes a step back catching a couple of people, she couldn't handle it anymore the memory was hurting her forearm, she feels someone stop her from falling backwards while someone says "oh bugger" a second later she sees a blury face with black hair.
"Hermione you're okay. It's just us. We won't let anything happen" Harry says looking very pale. Her vision comes back completely and she looks around Narcissa is looking guilty about what happened, Andromada is confused obviously unaware of what transpired, Molly is still looking at the floor trying to figure out how Bellatrix survived. Arthur and Percy were Pale looking between Molly and Hermione and the other Weasleys were looking at her with worry. Ginny was holding Teddy, looking pale and wanting to run and comfort Hermione. Ron was pissed off but also very worried about Hermione.
"Hermione shot a stunner at Bellatrix but she apparated just in time. And that's it" Tonks said.
"But... She's... Dead..." Molly said with tears pouring out while Arthur held her.
"Apparently not" Tonks said looking worried herself however she tried to hide it.
"We are very confused about this ourself which is why we need to go over the statement, Tonks can you take Mrs Weasley to your office and go over it please" said Martin
"Of course sir. Come on Molly" she said helping Molly up.
Once they were out Harry let go of Hermione and turned to Martin.
"I might have a suggestion on why shes still alive, what if she has a horcrux?" Ron, Hermione and Ginny cringe at this. Ron and Hermione because they went to hunt the and Ginny knew what had happened. While everyone else just looked in shock at Harry's words, they knew Voldemort had them but didn't know how many or how bad they were.
"It is possibility... She can't have too many because she doesn't look as bad as Voldemort I'd say she has between one and three horcruxes if she has them. Anyway Narcissa and Andromada if your sister tries to contact you inform us immediately whether it be me, Draco, Hermione or Tonks. You will all have two aurors at your houses and one at your place of work and that's for everyone. If you wish to tell your partners before it comes out in the papers tomorrow then that's fine. Draco, Hermione take the rest of the day off you can finish the reports tomorrow, this has been one hell of a day." Martin said.
Hermione goes to her office to get her stuff collected before going to the Burrow when someone comes into the office behind her.
"Hermione? Are you okay?" Bill asks.
"No." she says in a hoarce voice
"What happened at the Manor?"
"This..." she said rolling up her sleeve and showing the scar. She hears a femanine gasp and she turns around to see Fleur behind Bill both nearly crying.
"Oh Merlin..." "She did this?" They both whisper.
Hermione nodded her head tears sliding down her cheeks.
"We actually have something to ask you. It's good news so hopefully it'll cheer you up too." Bill says nervously.
"Whats up?"
"Will you be our babies Godmother?" Fleur asks (Hermione got close to both of them when she was at the cottage after the Manor, Bill never saw the scar but Fleur did but she still gets shocked seeing it)
"A baby? You're pregnant!?" She says confused but then with quick realisation jumps up excitedly and gives them both a hug.
"So is that a yes?"
"Of course Bill you idiot!"
They all hug each other.
"Are you telling the others soon?"
"Yes we just wanted to ask you first, let's go tell them, they're probably all at the Burrow apart from Arthur and Percy." Fleur says excitedly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time jump- At the BurrowHermione, Bill and Fleur enter the kitchen where they see Molly and Arthur talking.
"Mum, Dad? We need to talk to you and everyone else can we go into the living room?" Bill says smiling.
Molly and Arthur exchange a look before nodding and walking into the living room where Harry was writing his curriculum for his classes and Ron was studying with Charlie helping him study.
"Where's Ginny and the twins?" Hermione asked.
"Ginny is in her room with Draco probably arguing. The twins went to tell their partners the news of Bellatrix." Arthur answered.
"I'll go get Gin and Draco." Bill says.
He apparates quickly. Harry, Ron and Charlie are looking at them strangely.
"I suggest everyone sits down Fleur and Bill have big news for us."
"Don't tell me another death eaters back from the dead" Charlie jokes as his mother slaps him on the back of the head.
"Don't joke about that" she says angryly.
Draco, Ginny and Bill reach the bottom of the stairs and walk towards them, Bill stops at Fleur while Hermione, Ginny and Draco walk towards the seats. Harry smiles brightly obviously realising what is going on while the rest of the family is oblivious.
"I don't really know how to say this to be absolutely honest so I'm just going to tell you all that we are having a new addition to the family." Bill says beaming.
All of the Weasleys are slowly understanding there's a deafening silence before Molly stands up.
"I'm going to be a grandmother?" she asks quietly with tears in her eyes.
"Oui"
Molly runs up to them both and hugs them while crying. Everyone else stands up and joins in with the hug apart from Draco and Hermione. Hermione because she had already congratulated them and Draco because he wasn't too sure what to do. Bill sees this and steps out of the hug. He walks to Draco.
"Let me be the first to say welcome to the family" He says and gives him a bear hug. Everyone else joins in too including Ginny who had momentarily forgotten her anger.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, everyone looked confused as nobody was expected except the twins but they would've floo'd in. Molly walked to the door. Where a man with black curly hair was standing.
"Hello Madam is a Mr Ronald Weasley here?"
"Yes that's my son"
"May I please speak to him?"
"Ron! Someone is here for you."
Everyone slowly turns and looks at Ron who looks shocked. He slowly walks towards the door.
"Hello I'm Ron."
"Hello I'm Mr Pilkinson from the ministry, I work in the marriage department. Mr Weasley I'm going to have to ask you to come with me so I can get you a wife."
"Yes, yes of course. Mum I'll be back later" he says giving her a peck on the cheek. Before closing the door following the man.
"What wss that Mum?" Charlie asked in confusion.
"A ministry wizard came to get Ron to get him a wife..." she says a little shocked.
"Oh. Well anyway I'll be back later I have to go speak to Katie." Hermione says.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RRon scene
Ron side along apparated with the ministry official. Where they appear in his office.
"Right I should explain before we go to the compatibility test room. Sometimes with matches it's hard to test them without them meeting, you are very difficult to place Mr Weasley. So we have ten males and 10 females here today. You have a minute with each female to get to know them and then at the end you say which one you would like to date. If there is none then we'll put you in the next batch. Right let's get going it'll start soon."
Ron still in shock from the information walks behind him slowly towards a dark mahogany door, the ministry official opens the door.
"Theres only one seat left go sit with her. You don't have to move the women do instead."
Ron nods his head dumbly before walking in. He looked around at everyone all of the guys were much better looking than him and all of the girls were gorgeous. Then he looked at the table next to his, he saw the most beautiful women in the room in fact probably the whole world she had scarlett red hair that was to her shoulders, she seems kind of small 5"1 maybe 2. Her face was gorgeous, she had grey eyes and scar down one of them. She was simply stunning. He snapped out of it and walked to the table with his date. As the night went on he realised she was his last date and found himself craving to talk to her. He enjoyed talking to his dates but kept glancing over at her. When she finally sat down opposite him. He beamed at her and held out his hand.
"Hi I'm Ron Weasley" he said smiling like an idiot.
Her hair changed from scarlett to pink as her cheeks also turned pink.
"Hi I'm Scarlett Hill"
He chuckled slightly. "I apologise for laughing its just funny because your hair was originally scarlett."
"Most people don't realise it's scarlett they just say red" she said chuckling.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 19, you?"
"I'm 18"
"What do you do for a living?"
"Well I just left Hogwarts and my brother works in Romania in as a dragon keeper so I'm going to be studying at the London University of Magical Creatures for a year before I start work but in the holidays I'm hoping to work for my other brothers I just have to convince them. What about you?"
"Well I just came back from America actually. I left two years ago after leaving Hogwarts. I've been teaching potions at Ilvermorny. I only just heard about the war after the marriage law came through. I've been thinking of opening a new school here for students under eleven, more for muggleborns than anything else because I know they've struggled adjusting at the ga eof eleven so if they grow up with magic it might be easier but it will also help with prejudice because blood statuses will grow up in school together. I'm thinking of it not being a boarding school so instead of staying in the school for the year it lasts 9am till 3pm. My apologies I've been rambling"
"No its okay I was enjoying you talking about it, you are very passionate about it, what exactly would you teach in this school?"
"Hmm probably just theory, like history of Hogwarts and some of the wizarding world history. Maybe teaching them some rudimentary flying, but they're too young to teach actual magic to. You mentioned you have brothers? How many siblings do you have and what do they do?"
"I have one sister and five brothers. My sister is called Ginny she's in her final year of Hogwarts but thinking of doing quidditch after, then there's me, then the twins who run their own joke shop in Diagon Alley, then there's Percy who works in the ministry I keep forgetting what he does exactly to be honest, then there's Charlie who is the dragon keeper and finally Bill who is a curse breaker for Gringotts his wife actually does the same thing, they've just found out they're expecting today, what about you?"
"Wow that's a big and impressive family, and no I don't have any siblings unfortunately sometimes I wish I did."
As Ron was about to say something the invidulator called time they both smiled at each other they wrote down there top three choices Ron put Scarlett as his first choice.
Both hand it to the invidulator and walk out Ron holding the door for her. They walk for a while in silence before she stops and he stops to see if everything's okay.
"Sorry I'm going this way, I've got a meeting with the head of education about the school."
"It was great meeting you Scarlett, I hope he or she accepts it."
"Me too. And thank you for not asking about the scar" she whispers and then kisses his cheek, winks and then walks off down the corridor.
He beams and watches her leave before walking into the elevator to go home.

Hermione scene
Hermione walks out of the fireplace at the twins shop in the backroom seeing Oliver and George kissing against a wall and screamed without even thinking. They both stop and slowly turn their heads.
"Mione?" George asks confused
"Erm sorry about that, I just needed to get to Diagon Alley to speak to Katie and the last time I used the floo at hers I nearly stunned her"
She says while slowly walking towards the door before bolting out and seeing Fred smirking at her, she blushes and walks out of the shop where its raining heavily towards the leaky cauldron and getting to muggle London where Katie lives. She eventually gets to Katie's and knocks on the door. A second later Katie answers in muggle clothing he eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Hermione? Is everything okay?"
"Can we go in and talk please?"
"Of course, make yourself at home"
Hermione walks into the house and uses a spell to dry herself and sits down on the sofa and Katie sits next to her.
"Did something happen at work?"
"Bellatrix Lestrange is back, I confronted her today."
It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
"There's something else that you are not telling me isn't there?"
"Me and Bellatrix have bad history. When me, Harry and Ron went hunting for horcruxes we were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor, she proceeded to interrogate me in a barbaric manner. She used crucio on me many times and scarred me for life."
Katie looks at her confused and worried. So Hermione moves her sleeve to show the scar. Katie sees it and gasps and looks into Hermione's eyes.
"You are so strong."
"No I'm not"
"You survived this Hermione that's pretty damn strong"
"Katie it's really not"
At this point they were both standing up. Hermione had moved into the kitchen going to get a glass of water while Katie followed behind her. Katie grabbed her wrist and spun her around so that Hermione was facing her before pulling her in for a passionate kiss, Hermione was slightly smaller than her so she leaned down to push her against the wall, Hermione let out a moan at this point.
"Shouldn't... We talk... About... This" Hermione said between pants.
"Later" Katie growled out.
Katie re-engaged the kiss and picked up Hermione so her legs were around Katie as she was put on the counter, and Katie started to kiss and nip down her neck and bit down on her collarbone to which Hermione whimpered and moved her head back for a better angle when they heard a noise from the living room, Katie jumped away from Hermione and both took out their wands and aimed at the intruders.
