A/N: I will update as soon as I can please read and review. Hope you enjoy.
It was late when the meeting let out. Mrs. Weasley walked into the library and gestured for Hermione and Ginny to come over to her. Hermione put the book down and walked over. As soon as Hermione got close to her she found herself pulled into a tight hug. Mrs. Weasley pulls back and hold Hermione by the shoulders. "Hermione no matter what happens please know that I think of you as a daughter and I couldn't be more proud of you."
Mrs. Weasley then went to hugging her daughter. "I can't believe this is happening." She cried.
Ron walked over and looked at him mum worriedly. "Mum what happened? Why are you crying?"
At that moment Mr. Weasley walked in and pulled his wife into a hug. "I'm sorry Ron but we can't tell you it's…"
Ron sighed. "Yeah I know its order business."
Mr. Weasley nods his head. "Come now all of you. You should get some sleep." He looked at Hermione and Ginny. "Some of you have a long day ahead of you."
Mr. Weasley leaves with his sobbing wife and is quickly followed by Ron and Harry. Hermione and Ginny return to their books and quickly makes copies of them. The place the originals back into the book shelf. They gather up the copies and return back to their room.
Once she got back to her room, Hermione put the books in her trunk. She didn't want anyone seeing what she was reading. She quickly grabbed her cotton pants and shirt and walked into the bathroom. She turns on the shower and strips. She tosses her clothes into a pile by the door. She climbs into the shower and turns the water to cold. She had to clear her head. So much has happened in the past two days. She shivered as the cold water ran down her body and to her private parts.
Poor Mrs. Weasley I wish there is something I could do to comfort her. Hermione sank down to the floor of the shower. Hey eyes misty, not because of the shower. Slowly the tears rolled down her face. Hermione nestled her arms onto her knees and buried her face in them.
After several minutes Hermione climbed out of the shower freezing. She cast a drying spell on herself and put her clothes on. She returned to her bed and pulled out the copy of "Power of the Pure" that Ginny had given her, she quickly red through the first page.
The pure are one of the most powerful things in the world. There are all sorts of Pure in the world. There are creature such as Unicorns and witches and human like Virgins. The pure hold lots of power. A virgin is the purest you can find in a human being. In a witch their power is at their strongest. This happens because they are denying their true desire. The blood of the pure can be used for both good and bad. The blood of a unicorn can be used to keep a being alive even if they are an inch from death. But this is a curse because the animal is so pure. But the blood of Virgins has many properties as well. They can be used for powerful healing potions and dark magic. The pure live a dangerous life. There are always those that are evil that seek to use their pure blood for their own deed. Many young women are killed for their blood. The blood can be taken from anywhere in the body for spells and potions. But in the uses of dark magic the blood must be taken by force in order for them to work. By mean of force it could be torture, rape basically any way that is against the virgin's ideas. There is no specification which part of the body has the strongest blood. Some believe that the purest blood is in the heart other believe the strongest blood come from the hymen. The heart is filled with many desires that the young woman tend to ignore and a hymen basically marks a virgin.
Hermione took a deep breath and closed the book. So Virgins are very powerful. But why is it because they ignore their desires. Hermione pulled her legs to her chest. If this really was true then she wasn't very powerful she didn't really have any strong feeling for someone. She cared greatly about someone. She respected him for what he did and what he still does. If he ever found out that she respected him, he would probably say some snarky comment about Gryffindor's.
Or quite possibly she was very powerful. She cared about the man and respected him but was there something more that she was hiding even from herself? Hermione ran her hands over her face and sighed. Why did life have to be so difficult? Her mind turned to the man she cared about and respected. How did he feel? How did he deal with the darkness that was consuming him?
Hermione had to turn her mind away from him, from everything. It was late, she had training tomorrow. She grabbed the book and stashed it back into her trunk. After that she climbed back into bed and feel into a deep sleep.
In the morning Hermione quickly changed her clothes and headed down stairs. As Hermione walked past the portrait of Mrs. Black the curtains flew open. Hermione expected Mrs. Black to scream at her and call her horrible name. But it never came. The portrait was looking at her sadly.
"Child I am so sorry. You are in a horrible position to be in right now. I wish there is something I could do to help you." Mrs. Black whispered.
Hermione immediately knew what she was talking about. She was talking about the 'event'. Even if Mrs. Black was a pure blood and she hated other blood types she was still a woman. And women have to stand up for each other.
"It's okay Mrs. Black. We can get through this." Hermione reassured her. "We won't go through this alone other will stand up with us."
Mrs. Black slowly nods her head. "I still wish I could do more."
Hermione gave her a small smile. "if I think of anything that you can do to help I will let you know."
At this Mrs. Black smiled. "Good luck Hermione."
Hermione beamed and continued walking down the stairs. The smell of freshly cooked bacon and pancakes floated out of the kitchen making her stomach growl. She laughed and ran to the kitchen. Ron, harry, Ginny and Mr. Weasley were already there eating."
Mrs. Weasley walked in carrying several mugs of coffee. She smiled when she saw Hermione. "Hermione dear. So glad you're awake I was about to come and get you."
Ginny smiled at her and gestured her to sit. "You better eat 'Mione before Ron eats anything."
Ron looked up and scowled at his younger sister. "Hef imf hunfry." He said through his full mouth.
Everyone laughed. Hermione gladly took a seat next to Ginny and began shoveling food onto her plate. Harry looked at Hermione with interest as she scarfed down the food.
Hermione swallowed her food and looked at Harry. "What?"
Harry chuckled. "Nothing 'Mione' I'm just wondering why you are so hungry."
Hermione blushed out of embarrassment. "Oh… Well I'm taking a test today in my self-defense class today. If I pass then I move up to the next belt, which is the black belt. I need all the energy I can get."
"So the little Know-it-all is taking self-defense classes hmm." Said a silky voice. Hermione whipped around and saw Professor Snape standing in the doorway. "I'm guessing that's what I'm taking Miss Granger and Miss Weasley to this afternoon?"
Ginny looked at him confused. "You're taking us? What happened to Tonks?"
"I assure you that I am taking you Miss Weasley." Snape sneered. "Beside Tonks is busy with an auror assignment today."
Hermione groaned. What will the slytherins think when they see the head of their house?
Snape glared at her. "Is there something wrong Miss Granger?"
Hermione turned to the dark professor. "No sir it's just something I'm thinking about. I realized that I've been reading the wrong books for the NEWTS." She easily lied. Snape narrowed his eyes at her comments but she ignored it.
Ron rolled his eyes at her comment. "'Mione you have all year and next year to study for the NEWTS why must you study now?"
Hermione snapped her head in his direction. "there is nothing wrong with studying early Ronald. In a matter of fact I think it is never too early for someone to study. Maybe you should try it some time."
Ron slouched as Hermione yelled at him. "Sorry." He mumbled and went back to eating.
"So you should." Hermione huffed. Next to her, Ginny quietly giggled.
Breakfast and lunch quickly passed. Hermione quickly changed into her uniform and joined professor Snape and Ginny by the door. Hermione looked at her Professor. She realized her wasn't wearing his normal dark robes. Instead he was wearing muggle clothes, a black shirt and blue jeans. She stared at her Professor who happened to be staring at her. There was something in his eye that she couldn't tell.
'His eyes there so dark so mysterious how much have they seen, how much has he endured?' Snape frowned at her. Aw shit he saw her staring.
"Come along Miss Granger, Miss Weasley let's get this over with. Snape led them out the door and they apparated. Pansy and the other Slytherins were already there when they arrived. They were huddled up in a small group whispering. Snape closely followed Hermione and Ginny in. One of the Slytherins nudged Pansy in the arm and she looked up.
Her eyes grew wide when she saw him. Pansy quickly stood up and walked over to the head of her house. "Hello Professor." Pansy politely said.
Snape looked at her in surprise. "Miss Parkinson what are you doing here?"
Pansy shifted uncomfortably. "I'm taking classes here sir."
"Class gather around. Today there is one of you who wish to take their test and go for the next belt." The sensei said.
Snape noticed how nervous Hermione looked. She was shaking. He walked up behind her and leaned down. "You'll do fine miss Granger you haven't failed a test yet." He whispered into her ear. She jumped at the sound of his voice. "I shall be waiting outside for you and Miss Weasley." Snape stood up and walked out.
"Miss Granger wishes to go for her black belt. Is there a black belt who wishes to face her?" the sensei looked at all his students. Finally a big buff guy walks forward.
He bowed to the sensei. "I will face her sensei." He turned and bowed to Hermione. Hermione bowed in return.
They both took their stances. The guy delivered the first blow which Hermione easily dodged. He then delivered at series of kicks and punches. She quickly avoided them then delivered a series of blows. She threw her fist up and the man instinctively looked up. Hermione saw her chance and punched the guy in the chest several time. Finally the man collapsed onto the ground.
Several in the room cheered. Hermione smiled as she collected her breath. That man put up quite a challenge. Ginny raced over to her and crushed her in a hug.
Her Sensei walked over to her and patted her on the back. "Well done Miss Granger. I am proud to present you your black belt." Her sensei held out her black belt and she happily took it.
She tied it securely around her waist. "Thank you sir." The rest of the class went on smoothly. After the class ended the two Gryffindor's and the five slytherins head to the back room. They quickly lock the door.
"What the hell is professor Snape doing here Hermione? What did you tell him?" Pansy hissed, she looked tense, terrified.
Hermione looked at her offended. "Of course I didn't. Do you think I'm stupid or something?"
"Then why is he here!" Millicent asked.
"He's here because Dumbledore assigned him to protect me." Hermione growled. "My parents are on vacation so I'm currently staying at Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore didn't want me going anywhere without an escort. Seeing that I am Harry Potter's best friend, I am most likely on the Dark lord's hit list."
Pansy's eyes grew wide and she relaxed. "Oh um… sorry."
"It's okay. So did you guys find anything out about the dark lords plans?" because we," Hermione gestured to herself and Ginny. "didn't find anything new."
Pansy frowned. "Well I talked to my dad. I told him that I was glad to be in service to the dark lord and asked him when it would happen. He said that it would most likely happen around Christmas or the New Year. My dad said that the dark lord wants to catch everyone off guard."
Hermione nodded. "Hmm that's pretty smart. Everyone will be too happy about the festivities to bother about the dark lord. Well since Ginny and I didn't get any new news last night we started researching why the dark lord would want virgins. From what I read virgins are very powerful. Especially witches, their magic is extremely powerful. I was also thinking of when we get back to school. I was thinking we form a group G.O.H or maybe G.H."
Hestia looked at her confused. "G.H?"
"Yes Guardians of Hogwarts." Hermione explained. "You know by doing this were not only protecting us but everyone in the school. If we're safe then so is everyone else."
Millicent smiled. "I like that idea, an all-girls club and we will be protecting the school and ourselves in the process. I'm in with the idea."
"Same" said the Carrow twins, Hestia and Flora said simultaneously.
Pansy shrugged. "I don't see why not. So from now of we will be known as the G.H."
Everyone smiled and shook hands. "We will get through this together." Hermione beamed. "How about we all go home tonight and think up ideas for the group and also research ideas about home to stop the dark lord."
All the girls mutter their agreement. "Good. Now Ginny and I will have to go. See you tomorrow guys." Ginny unlocks the door and they race out of the dojo. Professor Snape was calmly sitting on a bench outside.
When he saw them he raised an eyebrow. "Took you long enough the class ended fifteen minutes ago."
"We're sorry professor but we had to talk to a couple of my friends they are moving so I wanted to say goodbye." Hermione lied, knowing that he would be very suspicious if he found out that they were talking to his slytherins.
-Snape stood up. "Well it doesn't matter now as long as you're safe. Albus would have my head if one of his golden trio had gotten hurt and Minerva would claw my eyes out if I let her cubs in trouble." Snape gestured to two young Gryffindor's to follow him "Come along now I have to get you two back. I have better things to do rather than babysitting some of Minerva's cubs."
They walk into an ally and apparate back to Grimmauld Place.
Once they got back the two Gryffindor's race up the stairs and into the library. 'What were they really doing in those fifteen minutes?' Snape asked himself. He frowned. The Gryffindor Princesses never mentioned getting her black belt. Maybe she didn't and that's why it took so long because Miss Weasley was trying to comfort Miss Granger.
Snape made himself comfortable in the sitting room. There was going to be another order meeting tonight. He came up with a plan. He wanted to see how effective the Muggle Self-Defense class was. He smirked as he planned it out. After he finished devising his plan he picked up a book and began read until it was time for dinner. About half an hour before dinner was ready all the order members arrived waiting for the meeting.
He evilly smirked as he saw Hermione walking down stairs. He hiding in a dark corner that she had to pass to get to the sitting room. As she walked past him he silently crept out of his hiding spot and grabbed her waist and placed his hand firmly on her mouth. Before he was able to cover her mouth she let out a stifled scream. Everyone turned and looked at them. Many had a face of shock as they saw what he was doing.
He saw Remus and Sirius reaching for their wands. But Hermione was quicker.
