I'm not a fan of how rushed this chapter feels but I thought I'd post it any way.
Enjoy!
A half out later they had been joined by Dumbledore and Hermione was wrapping up her story.
Dumbledore had been quiet through her tale. Letting her talk herself out. "Well Sir?" she finally asked, "Do you think I'll be able to get back?"
He gazed at her calmly over steepled fingers. "In truth Ms. Granger, I have no idea."
He settled himself more comfortably in his chair, "It will take time. A few months at best."
Hermione looked at him hopefully, "But you think you can do it?"
He shook his head, "It will take us that long to even begin to figure this out. And after that, well, we'll see." He patted her knee, "For now I believe it would be best for you to stay here at Hogwarts. You can enroll as a transfer student. I don't suppose you happen to speak French?"
She shook her head, "I'm afraid not Sir."
Professor Dumbledore smiled, "Ah well, I'm sure we'll figure something out. For now though we have a more pressing matter.
As I'm sure you are aware, the bites you received were from a werewolf. Madam Pomfrey has done a wonderful job healing them
but there is nothing she could do for the Lycanthropy."
Hermione nodded in understanding, tears welling in her eyes.
Dumbledore stood up, "As it happens we have another student here with the same." He paused, "Affliction.
If you would like it I could ask him to meet with you. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. And if his late night wanderings are anything to go on he should have a rather extensive book collection on the subject."
She wiped her tears away, "I would like that. Thank you Sir."
He nodded and swept from the room.
Really short, I know.
