Chapter 7: a day in St.Mungos
When we left of: "I need Samantha. Her mother has been seriously injured with Teddy Lupin."
"Samantha go with Victoria now. Dillon, Janna, Go with her. James Go get Harry, Sirius Go get her parents now!" Samantha shoot up with Dillon and Janna by her side.
"Yes aunt Fleur." answered the twins with worried look on there faces.
"yes fleur." answered Janna and Dillon
"Percy and Dillon, Go get Your uncle Bill and your Grandparents.
She left the room.
Why the BLOODY HELL does this happen to me.
"What is up Victoria? What happened to Mother and Teddy?"
She looked into her eyes. She did not have to be a medium to know this beet her up.
"Malfoy…Draco Malfoy. He did this he said something about you hurting Caitlin as he sent a curse after curse at your mum. Then he turned to Teddy and said he did not have the right to be related to him ad he got cursed. Teddy hit him with a stunner before he calapsed. Then He has been arrested bye a auror."
"why did Fleur send for everyone won't they draw attention to Hermione?"
"yes that's the point. No one is being let in. Samantha you or Ron has to sign the forms to let any one in. same with teddy, Harry or I have to sign them."
They ran into Ron.
"where are you four going. Victoria you have, arthermancy. And you three are heading the wrong way."
"professor we four with Percy, Dillon, James, and Sirius need to be excused."
"why?" he said confused.
"my mother and her fiancé have been seriously hurt by Malfoy. And if you do not move you will have a broken nose and a black eye and will be cursed."
"MISS GRANGER, I AM A TEACHER. YOU DO NOT TALK TO TECHERS THAT WAY." he was furious. She thought of running, but did not.
"sorry, father."
"what did you say?" he said confussed.
She set out at a dead run. As soon as her mum was all right she was dead.
Her feet snapped together. She had already took her wand out.
"finite incantem." her legs unstuck. She was in front of the entrance of the headmistress's office.
"Granger!" she whispered the horse jumped out of the way. She ran into Ginny's office. To find ginny and Harry standing there staring at her.
"Samantha I thought you had D.A.D.A.?"
"yes…..no….mum…teddy….hurt…..Malfoy….James…Sirius….needs….harry….right…..now…being…chased….ron….really…mad…"she panted
"Hermione and Teddy are Hurt because of Malfoy. and james or Sirius needs to find Harry right now. And your being chased by Ron because you bit his head of and threatened him." said Ginny
"yes." she said she as she cought her breath
The flames behind ginny turned green. And James popped out.
"James what is up why did you not use the stairs?" said Harry
"it is not excepting the password."
Everyone turned to her.
"she used accidental magic. You had your wand out." he said pointing to her wand.
"James get Victoria. Take her to St.mungos."
"what about Dillon and Janna. If they do not leave they will have detention. And it wil be my fualt."
Ginny went over to the fire and threw in some Floo powder. And said "Percy Weasley." her head disappeared. "Percy will you please do me a favor, and take Janna Fischer and Dillon Bryant to St.Mungos. Thanks."
She heard the light scratching of a quill. She took out her journal. And opened it. She read what had been wrote.
What did you say? Please tell me.
"Samantha don't answer that. Where are the twins?"
"James is here. Sirius went to get get my mum's parents. Dillon and Percy went to get bill and Mrs.Weasley and Mr.Weasley." James left threw the fire place.
"Samantha come on. I will take you." she went over to him. "have you ever traveled by Floo?"
"no, I have not I have traveled by aparation."
"well hold on. He said as they stepped into the fireplace he threw down the powcer and yelled "St.Mungosz London." she started spinning when they landed her glasses fell off broken. I broke mine to my first time. Hand them here." she handed her glasses to him
"reparo." he handed her, her glasses back. "come on."she followed. They went to the front desk.
"Hello how may I help you?"
"we are looking for, Mr. Teddy Remus Lupin and Miss Hermione Jean Granger."
"the extensive damage unit, it is under control of Healer Hannah Crevey."
She followed Harry. To the elevator.
"Samantha, Harry." came Dillon, Janna, Percy, Victoria, and James.
They ran over to them.
"hello, where are we going?" said Percy.
"extensive damage unit."
"ron…where is Ron?"
"still at school."said Ginny said ginny running to catch up with them.
"what happened to Hermione and Teddy?"
"we don't know." replied Harry
They reached the ward.
"Harry let me guess you are here to see teddy and Hermione. First I need to you to sighn these forms. Who might you be? You look almost like Hermione."
"Hello, Samantha Granger. I am here to see my mother."
"let me call your father."
"NO!" every one yelled
"you can not call her dad." said Ginny
"why can I not, Hermione must have gotton married."
"no she has not she is still engaged to ron. And I am there daughter. He does not know Hermione is even in the Wizarding world and he does not know that I exist." she said
"oh! Well may we say I have no one to sign the Bloody Forms then."
"why can't I?"
"because you have to be at least fifteen."
"Hannah let her sign the stupid forms. She is the smartest in her class. And we would like to know what is going on with Teddy and Hermione."
"come with me."
They went in and signed the forms.
"teddy is in good condition. He was hit with the crucio and a spell that drains him of his energy. But he is in better health then Hermione."
"what do you mean?" they said
"she was hit with the cruciotus curse repeatedly and two spectrumspensa's."
"Malfoy! Oh I would love to kill him."
"well I know he hurt Teddy and Hermione. But what has pissed you off?"
"that spell, I was really mad at him and I used it on him. I did not know what it was. That's why I missed the game in my sixth year. But this is just unreasonable. Samantha punches Caitlin Malfoy for calling her a mudblood and he goes and curses Hermione and Teddy."
"Harry you have to tell Ron. This is not my place to say but Samantha cannot have this keep happening to her. I grew up without a dad. And I know that you know how it is to grow up without parents. Don't let her. Malfoy knows and there will be more problems then we can think of."
"Hannah I know but if Hermione does not tell him we will have more problems to add to those problems."
"good point."
"you understood that. I have known harry eighteen years and I still don't understand him at times. And we are married."
Just then Sirius, Percy, Dillon W, her mum's parents, who she supposed was bill, and mrs. And Mr. Weasley.
"That it?"
"Hannah I really dought that."
Samantha took out her rosary beads and started praying.
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with thy. Blessed art thou among women. Blessed id thy fruit of thy womb, Jesus……….." she went threw her rosary. When she looked up everyone was gone but Ginny.
"are you done?"
"yes."
"nice rosary beads."
"mother made them. I love them. A little big, but I lost the first on I had so the bigger the better."
"yeah, come on. Lets go see Teddy. He asked where you were. I told him you were in here. He told me you have been upset. Wanna talk?"
"what is up with every one? sorry"
"I live with Harry. I am used to it. You have the Weasley temper at least a little. So who are you crushing on?"
"you promice not to laugh?"
"yes."
"Dillon."
"sounds like we have a nother Ron ans Hermione."
"what do you mean?""when your parents were at Hogwarts they refused to admit they were in love. Yet you are different. They fought allot. Allot, allot. You two never fight. You like him, why do you not tell him? You have known him as long as Ron and Hermione knew each other."
"Samantha, How are you?"
"quite fine James."
"James stop hitting on your cousin."
"am not."
"are to."
"am not."
"Stop it all right."
she got up and sat off. She thought she had read a sign that had said something about a tea room.
She left the ward. She climed the stairs. She had lways hated hospitals. Just going near ne gave her a felling of dread. It was not here though. She did not feel in dreed well she did because her mother was here. But she felt that here was not as bad as in the Muggle world.
She found the tea room.
"what would you like?"
"do you have Darjeeling and a raisin scone."
"that will be two sickles."
She took two sickles out of her bag and went and sat down. She noticed she was starting to shake every so slightly because she had not had breakfast.
"here you go."
"thanks." she took a bite of her scone.
"how you doing?" said Dillon comin over holing a choclate scone and sitting down
"okay, you?"
"all right."
"How's Mum?" she said taking a coupple drinks of her hot tea and taking a bite of her scone."she's doing all right. She still has not woke up. The healers say it might be a couple days tell she wakes up." He sadi Finishing his scone
"I think I will head back to school, Dillon. I need to think. You are my best friend. But I need to think. I am going to go and tell ginny that I am heading back." she said taking a drink of tea and finishing her scone.
"Samantha, this is not your fualt."
"Dillon I am the problem. You and Janna are the only friends I have ever really had. I am just a fat, bush haired girl, who causes trouble where ever she goes." she said drinking the end of her tea.
"Samantha you are tall, you can do any thing you set your mind to. You always believe in your self, you always rout on other people, you spent a year upset because you Missed me and Janna. You are kind to almost everyone, but you do not let anyone put you down. You think your mind is your best feature. You have no right to make fun of yourself."
He said as she was walking away.
"I know, Dillon. She whispered as she walked away.
She went down the stairs. And back to the ward. She went over to ginny.
" Ginny I am going to head back to school."
"Herms, this is not your fault. Take the rest of the day off."
"bye."
She went down the stairs. She ran into a red head. She grabed his hand saving him from falling and getting seriously hurt.
"I am so sorry."
"Samantha….. Sorry about earlier I am really, really sorry."
"it's all right. I have actually never yelled at a teacher. Well not a one that I liked. I think I am going to go and make some pizza dough and punch it."
"let me come with you. We can go see mum."
"she won't be there." she said almost apparating."
"huh?"
"she is in the ward."
"oh."
"how was class?""Okay, not as good as it had been with my three star students."
"your to kind."
"so how was your night?""It could have been way better. Not that my mum is having a good day either."
"your called your mother 'mum' to be truthful I have never herd you call her that. Not that my night was ant better. Why did she run. And who was with her?"
"Ron, she loved you? She will come back."
"You used the past tense, 'loved' not loves."
Samantha what have you done. Just shut your huge mouth.
"sorry grammar mistake."
"Samantha, do you really think she will come back?""ron, she is closer than you think. Maybe you have seen her today."
"Are you Hermione?"
"no Ron. I am Samantha Pauline Molly Hermione Billius Granger."
"bloody hell."
"don't cuss, Ron."
"fine, you do remind me of Hermione."
"she will come back."
She could feel the sadness coming off of him, yet in all the sadness he had so much happiness, it was making her smile.
No wonder mother fell in love with him. He has enough happiness to make a whole room smile and it is that way every where he goes.
She smiled.
"I have to go back up to the ward and talk to Ginny. I will meet you in your class room to make up the missed class.""after dinner."
"k"
She sat of up the stairs. She was still thinking and she twisted her ancle and sprained it on the top stair.
"OUCH!!" she yelled
James and Sirius came out.
"you all right?" they asked
"Do I Bloody look all right."
"cousin it is best not to cuss."
"get over here and help me up or you will be knocked out for the next three days."
"you are in no position to be making threats." said Sirius
"oh yeah. You for got the one thing in dueling that is important in dueling."
"what is that dear cousin?" replied James.
"before you make threats make shore your openent is disarmed 'expelliomus'" she said and there wands went flying "and not able to attach you 'porfectus totalus'" they fell down. "stupefy"
"thank you very much for the practice dear cousin's. she said getting up onto her one good leg and limping over and picking up there wands then limping in to the ward.
"Samantha are you ok come here."
"I just sprained it I have done much worse, I broke my arm in third grade. I guess that's what you get for not listening to your mother. How is she doing?"
"she is doing all right, her recovery would probably go faster if ron was here, but the cances of that are slim to none. She should be out by the Yule ball."
"good."
"what are you planning?"
"to give mum a Christmas to remember. But I have to go and talk to Ginny."
"okay, where are James and Sirius?"
"do you really want to know?" she said
"if you have even half knowledge, wit, and bravery as your parents, I probably not. There you go." she said standing up after wrapping and healing her ancle.
"thanks."
"your quite welcome, Samantha. You are very intelligent witch and you will be a wonderful, witch, wife, and mother, someday. Everyone , makes mistakes. Do not let this one eat at you."
"thanks."
She got up headed over to meet ginny and the others. She was smiling with joy.
"what is up with you Samantha?" asked Mrs.Weasley
"the perfect plan."
"what is going on inside that head of yours." said Harry
"a muggle fairy tale."
"what does that have to do with the perfect plan." asked Percy
"it is the perfect plan."
"huh?" everyone replied
"has everyone noticed that ron has been totally oblivious to the fact that Hermione is here. Even though that he just talked to her this morning."
"no he did not that is impossible." said her mother's, mum.
"He did." said her, harry, percy, Dillon W., Dillon, and Janna.
"well back to the plan. Herms what is it?" said ginny
"who knows the muggle fairy tale of Cinderella?"
Dillon, janna, her mum's parents, harry, and ginny raised there hands.
"well for those who do not know the story, Cinderella is a young woman, with two evil step sisters, and a evil step mother. There is a big masquerade ball, it is different from story to story but. She is not aloud to go. She starts to cry. Her fairy godmother appears. She turns mice into horses and men and a pumpikin, if I remember right. The one rule is that she must be back by midnight. Well the clock strikes midnight she runs out the doors, but she leaves her glass slipper behind. Well the prince devastated does anything to find her. In the end, he does and they live happily ever after."
"you would have to have magic to do that." said her mum's mother
"you are standing in a room full of witches I think we could pull it off it was all right with my headmistress."
"fine with me. So whats the plan?"
"the Yule ball has to be a masquerade ball. Se and ron have go to dance I don't care what you do."
the boys looked like they had an idea.
"and no spiking the punch with love potion. That would be a mess. That would be the night of the most breakups."
"oh." said the twins
"where are james and Sirius?""oh they are in the hall stunned." she said quite cheerfully
"did you at least take there wands." yep she said throwing james and Sirius's wands to harry. "I told them."
"I know them, that would not be the first time they have been hexed by a girl. They have this wacked idea tha girls don't know anything about dueling. Now go on with your plan."
"well where was I? o yeah. We need to get them to dance. At midnight we will have everyone take of there masks off. Which means that Hermione leaving behind her shoe or mask which ever we prefer. After that I have no idea, but I was curios if we could do something."
"shore what?" said ginny
"well in muggle high school there is prom queen and king I was wondering if we could have queen and king for each year."
"that would be cool. All students raise there hands if they want to have a prom queen and king for each year."
Janna, both Dillons, Percy, Teddy, and Victoria."
"okay it's decided."
"can I head back to school?" she asked
"Harry can you please take her back?" asked ginny
"shore."
She stood up and left the ward.
"Herms what's bothering you? You have came up with a wonderful plan. Samantha either you and Dillon will get together, or it will stay the way it is. And I think this ball will be a good thing for you."
"what do you mean?""I have seen you. Why don't I get you a set of wizards chess pieces."
"harry, you don't have to."
"if I have any idea of what ron will have you do to make you do to make up for class you will want them. You might be the first person with any chance of beatting him. Ah here." they walked inside
"eureka, that is what I will get Dillon for his birthday."
"Samantha he is a pureblood, doesn't he have a set?"
"yes, but he was raised muggle."
"how about you? I have seen you……….hay whats this?" he said grabing the book collin had given her.
"give that back…. Your as bad as James and Sirius."
"bloody hell. How did collin get this?"
"what?"
"This picture, it has got to be the last picture. Dumbledore's Army, the reformed Dumbledore's army reformed. Wow. Here you go." he said handing it back.
"go find a set and a chess board."
"harry you don't have to."
"yes I do, Samantha you have come up with a wonderful plan using something most people would consider childish. You are your mother's daughter in brains and thinking, but you are your father's daughter in your strength, capability to make plans. Go pick out a set."
She decided not to argue. She looked every where for a set. She had picked out a wonderful wood board made with apple wood. The chess pieces were the problem. She knew that she had to like them because she would use them for a long time. She decided on a set made out of apple wood, that had on the base of the queen a moon made out of aquamarine stone and on the base of the king a sun made of quartz. and all the other pieces had a simple cats eye moon on the base.
"Herms your pieces are a little different but I think they are nice."
"thanks, I should buy Dillon's why I am here."
She went over and found Dillon a set. They were made out of cherry. They were wonderful and she really hoped he would like them. She knew he liked different types of stone so that's what she picked.
"Samantha he will love them. Still doubt you will beet him."
Will he like? I hope he does. I know how he likes stone maybe I should get him garnet or marble. No Samantha.
"ya think?"
"yeah, and they will be special because you gave them to him, and payed for them. Wait where did you get wizarding money."
"allowance and what I had saved up in muggle money. Mum took it in and traded it for wizarding money. So I can take care of myself."
"Samantha I have seen you, I have no doubt that you can take care of your self. You are not a city girl, even if you try to dress like one."
"what do you mean?"
"Janna is a city girl. She could survive without her stuff but, she would have a hard time. You are a girl who can do anything that you want to. You are a girl who has potential an any thing you do. You can be a leader like you were back there or you can be a follower like I saw yesterday. Come on lets cheeck this stuff out. Hand your stuff here."
She handed him her stuff.
"will this be it, Sir?"
"yes."
He took the package from the casher.
She gave the casher the set.
" 10 gallons, 8 knuts, and 2 sickles."
She took out the money an gave it to the casher."
"thank you please come again."
"come on, I think I can get you get
"come on I think I can get you back by your next class. Though ginny will, have my hide."
"thanks Harry."
"it's nothing."
"harry you left Teddy, to take me back."
"Samantha you deserve a faimly. Not that Hermione has not made one for you, but to deserve a father and a mother and a huge faimly. An I know Hermione and she probably did her best and I get why she did not come back. You probably could have been excepted to any wizarding school if you had wanted to."
"come on, lets head back."
When they got back she went to Herbology.
"hello class I am proffesor Longbottom. I am going to be teaching you Herbology."
She beat everyone on every question he asked about what ever. Though she had no fun. In doing so. She knew the rest were plotting especially since she had seen all of them sneaking past the entrance hall to Ginny's office.
She had decided not o bug then and head to class. Even though she had been given the chance to skip school. Which most 'normal' kids would kill for. But she had just took the pass to go get everything in order and get back here without getting in trouble.
She went to dinner and had some steak and some green beans. And she went started towards Ron office with her backpack in tow carrying her lovely chess set.
AN/ okay if you are following along some what, new, or are really into the story please review. It makes me happy and I really like to hear what people think. Well enless they want to be mean. I want to give a extra thanks to my BFF's Dillon and Janna.
