When Hermione opened her eyes and saw Dumbledore she let out a sob. Living through the war the first time was hard, but viewing it a second time was ten times worse. Dumbledore reached out to comfort her, putting his hand on her shoulder and giving a squeeze.
"Well that was pretty terrible, I can see why you would risk everything to come back, do not worry I will never ask you to relive that again."
She looked around the room, it was empty. She was alone with the headmaster, "sir I need to find Severus Snape, and I know that you know how to get in touch with him."
Dumbledore looked at her for a moment then nodded his head, "I'll send him a letter to meet you this evening at one of our safe houses."
He quickly gave her the address to the safe house before he stood up and left the room. Hermione didn't have long to think about her next move before Lily entered the door Dumbledore had left.
"You said something and I had to clarify, was my son your best friend?"
"Yes. My best friend, my brother in all but blood."
"Then please accept our invitation to stay with us here, we will be here for a bit longer before we move into our cottage."
Hermione stopped breathing for a moment, "in Godric' s Hollow?"
"Yeah, is that where we lived when you knew us?"
Hermione shook her head, she didn't trust herself to say more. She stood silently before looking to Lily, "I would accept your hospitality but I have a lot to get taken care of and I would hate to be in and out all day long. Seems unsafe. Thank you though."
Without waiting on a response Hermione left the room and tried to find an exit. She quickly ran into James and he showed her out. Once she was outside she let out a soft sigh. Now what?
