Chapter Four

A few days after the events of thepreviouschapter, Remus Lupin recieved a letter through the muggle post.

"Oh bloody hell, Tonks! Come here, love!"

"Remus, what is it?"

"Harry and Hermione are both in the mental hospital now. We've got to tell the Weasley's!"

"They're both in the muggle loony bin, are they bleedin' idiots?"

"No, must have taken too many hits to the head in the past three years!"

"Must have!"

"Well they did get there brains stolen, and put into goats. That had to have left some side effects."

"Like not knowing when to shut your trap around a muggle?"Tonks asked.

"I guess so," Remus laughed at the humour of the incrdulous situation. "Isn't this one of the things the magical reversal or obliviators squad would take care of?"

"They are supposed to, but there a bunch of lazy assholes," Tonks answered.

"Can't you do something?"

"Sorry, dear, but not without permission."

"What would happen if you did?"

"I'd lose my commision."

"Even for the savior of the wizarding world?"

"Yes," Tonks laughed, "Scrimgouer still has an aversion to Harry for being 'Dumbledore's Man'."

"Bloody idiot!"

"He sure is. Didn't you say we needed to inform the Weasley's of this occurance?"

"Oh of course we have to tell them, Hermione AND Harry are locked in a bloody mental institution. I hope Ron doesn't blow a gasket."

"He didn't over Harry's plan."

"Your right, he didn't, wow maybe Ron Weasley's growing up as his friend's are becoming bloody morons!"

"Hmm, we should ask him."

"Why don't we just ask Luna bloody Lovegood, it'd get us as far."

"Then Harry and Hermione would land in the Quibbler as Grummble kneeed Scrugglefuggers."

"That would sure be fun to read!"

"And bring to the mental hospital for Harry and Hermione to read."

"Then the Doctor's will really think there ruddy mad!"

The Burrow.. again.. Damn arethey ever not going to the bloody burrow.. every summer Harry goes to the Burrow, every summer Hermione's at the Burrow.. can't for once they go somewhere else? How about a nice camping trip? or why can't Hermione's parent's take Ron and Harry for once.. well at least there all grown up and away from me and I can relax and cry over my child's death.. WAIT A MINUTE! Why would I cry over her, his death, she.. He was a Deatheater and her, his goal was to destroy us, oh screw her, him.. I can now spoil my grandchild.. and future grandchildren with sweets! Oh bloody hell, why are Tonks and Lupin coming this time, can't they let me enjoy my relaxing day without Harry, Fred, George, Hermione, Ron, Percy, Bill, Fluer, Charlie, Ron's wife, what's her name or any of them coming by to destroy my first peace and quiet in thirty years?

That is what Molly Weasley thought as Remus Lupin and N. Tonks came down the rutted drive of the Burrow.

Molly stepped out of her kitchen, to head off the unexpected destroyers of her quiet afternoon. "Lupin, Tonks, Good Afternoon, what are you doing here?"

"We've got some news." Remus told her.

"About what?"

"Harry is in the mental hospital along with Hermione now."

"Why? What stupid thing did he try to pull this time?"

"Nothing stupid in terms of the magical world if your not talking to muggles!" Tonks exclaimed. "He told the muggles he was a wizard like Hermione was a witch essentially."

"Really, how ever will they get out?"

"We're not sure yet," Remus answered. "Though they are together, because of the hoax Harry used to attempt to get her out, the marriage."

"Ah yes, hey do you think they'll get married?"

"What?" Tonks asked.

"Well, Ron's married, they've been out of school for three years, Ginny became a man and is now dead, so that's not in the way anymore."

"Harry and Hermione are incarcerated ina muggle mental institution and your wondering if they could become lovers?"

"You and Tonks are."

"So, that's us."

"I know, but I want them to have that happiness that Ron does, and you do and Arthur and I do."

"Well, we all want that for them, with whomever they choose."

"Yes, yes, you are right. So my son is a werewolf and none of us have known for the past year?"

"Well I knew," Remus answered sheepishly.

"You knew and didn't tell any of us?"

"No, I didn't. It was his secret to disclose when, where and to who he wished."

"I know, I know. Are you sure there aren't any cures?"

"None that we yet know of." Remus started to sneeze and wheeze.

"Remus, are you alright?"

"Just fine," he replied more stuffed up then before.

"Here take this, my Dad says it helps with allergies, its a muggle drug."

Remus swallowed the little white pill. "Thanks love."

"So what're you going to do about those two?" Molly asked in regards to Harry and Hermione.

"Try to figure out a way to get them released, or at least get permission to see them." Remus answered.

"Good idea, now if you both don't mind, I'd like to enjoy the rest of my afternoon."

"Bye Molly," Remus and Tonks called to her as they walked down the path.

Molly smiled and waved before abruptly turning and going back into her cozy, oddly shaped house.

"Molly certainly didn't want to deal with anyone today, did she!" Tonks exclaimed after she and Remus apparated to Diagon Alley.

"No, she certainly did not," he chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"What if Harry and Hermione are stuck there for a long while?"

"Um.. Hmm, they may pick up on the habits of the other patients or stew in there bordom or grow to enjoy their married life."

"There sham marriage in a mental institution?" Remus asked.

"Sure, why not, Ron's married."

"Or they could end up annoyed to wits end with eachother."

"Harry and Hermione, never," they said in unison.

And they reached Fred and George's flourescent neon coloured shop.

"Oy! Tonks, Lupin, what brings you by? Need some hair dye?"

"Extendable ears?"

"Mint Slime?"

"Something to spice up your love life, perhaps?"

"Uh no," Remus answered, "Could we speak with both of you privately?"

"Oh of course you can!"

Lupin and Tonks followed Fred and George Weasley into there back room.

"What do you need?" George asked.

"Harry and Hermione are both in the mental hospital now."

"WHAT?"

"Yes, that's what I first thought as well," Remus answered the twins.

"How are we going to get them out of there?" George asked.

"I don't know, neither have any remaining blood relatives who would willingly bail them out." "Doesn't Hermione have other family members besides her parents?" Fred asked.

"Good question, I have no idea!" Lupin exclaimed.

"I'll run a check at work tomorrow," Tonks told them.

"Good."

"Have you told Ron yet, he's going to be devastated.. Okay maybe he won't, he did run off and get married without telling any of us!" Fred said.

"What haven't I been told?" Ron asked.

"Do you ever knock, little brother?" George asked.

"Of course I do, when my love is in the loo."

"Uh, that's great, Ron," Fred replied.

"So what don't I know?" Ron asked.

"A lot of things, Ronniekins."

"Oh shut it!"

"Well, Ron," Tonks began.

"Harry and Hermione are both in the mental hospital now." Remus told him.

"Really, well, I hope they're happy together and grow to love eachother like me and my love."

"Uh, yeah, really, no ideas to break 'em loose?" George asked.

"Of course not, I'm just a law abiding werewolf who doesn't want to get trapped in some silly sceme of his brothers."

"Wow!" Tonks exclaimed.

"What happened to the Ron we know?" George asked.

"He's grown up," Ron answered. "You rather have to once you become a werewolf."

"Did your wife bite you Ron?"

"No, that would be Greyback whom bit me, like you."

Remus Lupin just sighed.

"So no ideas on breaking out the shammily married couple?"

"None Fred."

"So we'll all meet again next time on..."

"Oh will you shut it, George?"

"No, you!"

"You!"

"Both of you shut it before I silencio you!" Ron commanded.
