Severus and Arthur walked into the infirmary and then over to where they saw everyone standing. When they got close they saw that Hermione was asleep with her head on Remus's chest.

Arthur looked around and whispered "Ronald has been dealt with for now but he lost more points for Gryffindor because while he couldn't actually speak he still told Seamus and Dean what was going on and he called Hermione a whore again. Severus left the tracking charm on Ronald and I approve of that since he can't do anything other than go to classes, detentions and meals. I also told him he was no longer allowed to play Quidditch."

Molly's eyes hardened as she listened to her husband. "I don't know what I did wrong with our Son but that is not how he was raised."

Minerva looked over at Molly and shook her head. "You didn't do anything wrong Molly. All of this is on Ronald's head not on your own. He knows better but he doesn't see it that way. Give him time and he will come around."

At Minerva's words Harry spun around and said harshly "I don't give a bloody damn if he comes around or not because even if he does he will not be allowed near Hermione. She is already going through so much and she doesn't need anymore stress. It isn't enough that she found out Ron's been cheating on her for who knows how long but he accused her of it and then called her a whore and a Mudblood. I don't care if he was upset or not. He's supposed to be Hermione's friend and a friend no matter how mad would say something like that repeatedly. Yes I could forgive him for saying it once but for saying it multiple times hell no. He had better hope he doesn't do anything else or say anything else to 'Mione because regardless if it gets me expelled from school I will hex him."

Molly put a hand on Harry's shoulder and squeezed it. "Calm down Harry. You being so angry isn't going to help Hermione any. I understand where you are coming from and I can say that I agree with it. What Ron has done and said is very wrong and I can't actually believe I am saying this but I honestly hope that you and Hermione don't forgive him right away when he realizes what he has done. If Ron does or says anything that causes Hermione pain I want you to let me know. I will not have you expelled for defending your friend so if Ron does something you just let me know and I will tell George and Fred."

Harry's eyes had widened in shock as he listened to Molly talk but he saw that she meant everything she said to him in her eyes so he nodded. "Okay Molly. I'm sorry. I loved Ron like a brother but I'm not sure that I can anymore after this. He hurt 'Mione too much and for nothing. If he would have listened to Hermione talk all of this could had been avoided. Then again maybe not since Ron has a temper and he never thinks before he talks."

Arthur sighed and nodded. "I have to agree with you Harry. I love my Son but right now he is someone I don't recognize. How is Hermione doing?"

Remus looked up from where he was holding Hermione and smiled. "She seems to be doing okay. She was emotional earlier but calmed down finally. I do believe though we are going to need to make sure Ron doesn't get anywhere near her. She doesn't need the stress and I'm not so sure she can handle it without breaking down. She is young and to be going through this has to be putting a strain on her."

Minerva nodded. "We will make sure Mr. Weasley can't get to her and stress her out. We decided that she will miss classes tomorrow. As for the day after that I think one of us should walk her to her classes. I know that she has Mr. Weasley in two of them. I also think that it would be a good idea to make sure that Hermione isn't left alone for right now."

Albus nodded. "I agree. She should be free to go back to her room tonight I think. I know that Draco will be staying there since it is also his dormitory but I think Harry and Blaise should also stay. I also believe that maybe we should let Miss Weasley and Miss Lovegood in on what is going on. This way they too can stay in the dormitory in case Hermione needs help this evening."

Minerva nodded. "I will get Miss Lovegood if Molly will get her daughter. I think that it would be best to do it that way so that we can just let them know quicker. Then we can take them to the Head Boy's and Head Girl's dormitory."

Molly nodded. "I will head to Gryffindor Tower and get Ginny. I will meet you back in the main hall by the gargoyle that protects Albus's office Minerva."

Minerva nodded and then after one more glance at Hermione she walked out of the infirmary with Molly. They split up by Albus's office and headed to their destinations.

Arthur looked at Harry, Draco and Blaise. "I'm glad to see that you three get along. I want your word that you will be there to help Hermione through this. I want your word that you won't do anything to Ronald or anyone else who talks bad about Hermione without telling one of the Professor's first. I can see that you three clearly care about Hermione and for that I am grateful but she is going to need you three more than ever and she won't be able to lean on any of you if you are all getting into trouble. Do I have your word?"

Harry, Draco and Blaise all nodded and said together "You do Sir."

Arthur nodded and said "Good."

Severus looked at the three boys and said "If at anytime Miss Granger seems to be getting worse I want you to notify me right away even before you notify Poppy. I do not care what time it is. If Miss Granger needs something then let me know immediately."

Harry nodded. "We will Sir."

Severus nodded and then looked at Albus. "Did you offer the DADD job to Remus? If not then I think you should."

Albus chuckled and said "I already thought of that and offered it and he accepted it. I think for tonight I will put him in a room close to Hermione's that way if she wants him someone can get him. As you can tell she is clinging to him."

Severus nodded and then looked at Remus. "Will you be able to carry Hermione to her room through t he floo or do you need someone else to do it?"

Remus shook his head. "I can do it. Is it okay if we go ahead and move her? I think it would probably be best if we have her settled in before Ginny and Luna arrive."

Albus nodded. "Go ahead and take her Remus. I'll inform Poppy and then I will follow."

Remus nodded and stood up and then gently lifted Hermione into his arms. He followed Draco, Blaise, Harry and Severus over to the fireplace. He waited on Harry, Draco and Blaise to go through and then he went making sure that Hermione was secure in his arms followed by Severus. He knew that Arthur was waiting on Albus. Once he got into the Head Girl's and Head Boy's dormitory he followed Draco to Hermione's bedroom and laid Hermione down on the bed gently. He left her clothed and bent and kissed her head and then walked out. He figured he would let Molly change Hermione to something more comfortable. He sighed as he sat down on the couch.
