SM

Lupin, Sirius, and Harry were in the waiting room at SM. The rest of Hermiones' friends were coming after the school day was done. The three sat in scilence. They had been there for five hours. Harry was in deep thought. Sirius was pacing. Remus was reading, big shock there.

Another two hours passed and Draco, Ron, Neville, Luna, Ginny, and Thea came.

"Any news?" Neville asked.

"None" Remus asnwered.

"Do they know what happened to her?" Ginny asked.

"No, but I think he tortured her. And not just once, over and over again. He might have asked her something that she refused to answer. Or maybe she said something that he didn't like. Maybe he just did it for fun." Remus answered since Sirius wouldn't talk and Harry wasn't really listening.

"How are you holding up?" Luna asked.

"I am doing ok. How about you guys?" Remus asked.

"We are ok." Draco answered.

"Speak for yourself, I am doing horrible. The girls in my dorm hate me, Hermione is hurt, and the cause of her being hurt is my father." Thea said angerly.

"Why won't Harry talk, I mean I know why Sirius won't but, Harry isn't even listening." Ron said while looking at the pacing Sirius and the out of it Harry.

"Harry is the one that found her." Remus answered.

"Why was she the one that he wanted?" Neville asked.

"I think that he knew how Hermione would act to get Herry out of there and how much Harry would want to find her before she died." Remus said.

"Did you guys catch anyone?" Luna asked.

"Only a few, including Stark." Remus said.

"Good, that bastard deserves to rot in prison." Ron said.

"Does Dumbledore know that you are here?" Remus asked them.

"Yeah, I told him before we left." Draco answered.

"Good" Remus said.

A nurse walked over to Sirius. She said something to him, he smiled.

"She's up! I am going in there and then you are all welcome to come in." Sirius said before walking away and into room 489.

"Hermione" Sirius said as he looked at his daughter.

"Hi dad. Long time no see." She greeted her father with a smile.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"About as good as I'm going to be for a while. How 'bout you?" Hermione replied.

"Happy that you are here." He answered.

"Did Ron tell you what he promised to tell you?" She asked.

"Yeah, he did." He answered.

"Where are all of them anyway?" She asked.

"They are waiting for me to tell them what room you're in. I will go get them." He said.

"Thanks Dad." She said as he left the room.

About five minutes later nine people walked into the room. They all stood around her bed.

"Well this is...odd." Hermione said because everyone was stairing at her.

"Hermione it is great to see you." Luna said happily to her friend.

"Yeah, I mean we have all been woried sick." Ginny said.

"And all of the girls in our dorm hate me, I started sleeping in Luna and Ginny's dorm a week ago." Thea said.

"Yeah Herms, we missed you like crazy, I couldn't figure out any of my homework." Ron said.

"Call me Herms and I will beat you with a stick." Hermione said 'cause she hated that nickname.

"And we missed your comments too." Draco said.

"And I almost died during potions. I mean you always save me from Snape." Neville said.

"And I had no one to have tea with, or discuss books. I mean Sirius never reads, and neither do the rest of them." Remus said causing her to laugh.

"I didn't know that Sirius could read." Hermione laughed, but then stoped 'cause it hurt her ribs.

"I know how to read, I just choose not to." Sirius said with a little laugh.

"i missed all of you, and I rather missed my bed. After about a week the Death Eaters just started droping me on my bed room floor. And the food there sucked. Not that I had more than one meal that whole time. I usually just made water appear from my wand." Hermione explained.

"What happened there? What did they do?" Draco asked her and Ginny stepped on his foot.

"That's another story for another day." Hermione replied and wondered why Harry wasn't talking.

Hermione felt pain go through her. It was the same pain that she had been hit with for the past two weeks. She screamed this time. It went away after about twenty minutes.

"Hermione what happened?" Sirius asked.

"I could feel it, but no one casted it." Hermione said through tears.

"What, was it the Crucotus?(I don't thik that is spelled right)

"Yes, and it hurts like hell." Hermione said.

"I'll go get the nurse." Luna said as she headed for the door.

"No, then they will make me go to sleep and make all of you leave. Please don't." Hermione pleaded.

"Hermione, we have to. Now all of you out and go back to the waiting room and I will get someone." Sirius said and they all walked out the door.

A healer came in about two minutes later.

"What happened?" He asked Hermione.

"The pain from the Crucotus Cruse hit me and didn't end for twenty minutes. Now will you please fix it so my friends can come back?" She asked.

"Here take this and you can see your friends in a few minutes." The man said as he gave her a cup full of a yellow potion.

She drank it and felt it go through her body.

"Can you tell Harry Potter to come in, and no one else?" Hermione asked.

"Sure" The healer said as he left.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you think she will be alright?" Neville asked.

"Yeah, she probably just needs rest." Sirius said.

"I am going back to Hogwarts." Harry said starting to walk away.

"Umm...Harry, I need to talk to you first." Lupin said and he and Harry went into an empty room.

"What do yo want to talk about?" Harry asked.

"Why didn't you talk to Hermione?" Remus asked.

"It is my fault that she is here. I let her go, I didn't save her. And I love her, but now she doesn't love me anymore. And she probably hates me for letting her leave." Harry said.

"You know that she doesn't hate you, you did save her, and I am sure that she still loves you. Harry your father went through hell to get your mother to love him, all you have to do is tell her how you feel." Remus said.

"And then snog her sincless." George's voice came.

"Sorry we're late, but we had detention." Fred said.

"I am not sure that Sirius will like the fact of me snogging her." Harry said with a chuckle.

"I am sure that he wouldn't like that." Remus said.

"Is Harry Potter in here?" The Healer said as he walked into the room.

"Yes, what would you like?" Harry asked.

"Please follow me. Someone has asked to see you." The healer said as he walked out of the room.

Harry followed the man to Hermione's room.

"Hello Hermione," Harry said.

"Hi," Hermione said.

"So what did you want me to come alone for?" Harry asked.

"Why wouldn't you talk to me when you and everyone else were in here. You didn't even say hi." Hermione said.

"I didn't know that you still wanted to talk to me. I mean after that fight that we had-" Harry was cut off.

"That fight was to get you out of there. I wanted you to leave and I knew that was the only way to make you. And you know what I yelled to you when you got in the fire, right?" Hermione explained.

"Yes I know what you yelled to me. And about that." Harry said.

"Nothing, I know that you don't feel that way Harry. No need too explain that." Hermione said trying to avoid that subject.

"Hermione, we really ne-" Harry was cut off by Hermione yelling.

"Hermione whats wrong?" Harry asked.

"My rib, I think one of them just collasped." Hermione said.

"I'll go get the healer." Harry said going over to the door.

"No, I will be fine. Please come sit." Hermione said while pating on her bed and scooting over.

"Okay, but when I leave I will go tell him." Harry said sitting next to her.

"Thanks Harry." Hermione said as she sat up, her rib hurt a little when she did but she was getting used to the pain.

Harry leaned down and kissed Hermione. When His lips hit hers she melted, but then oulled away.

"Harry you can't do this. Cho has been through enough and she doesn't need you cheating on her." Hermione said as she got up from her bed.

"I'm sorry, I-" He was cut off by Hermione.

"Can you go get the healer? Tell him that I need him to check out my rib, it really hurts." Hermione lied.

"Yeah," Harry said and sighed.

He walked out of the room and told the Healer.

"I am going to Hogwarts." Harry said passing by his friends.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The healer came and preformed a simple spell on her and fixed it. He soon left and Hermione went into the bathroom. She sat on the floor and cried. She cried for about an hour.

'Knock, Knock'

"Hermione, you in there?" Came Freds voice.

"Yeah, the door is unlocked. I am just washing my face." Hermione said as she splashed some water from the sink on her face to cover up her tears.

The boys walked in.

"Hermione, what were you crying about this time?" George asked her.

"I wasn't crying, I was washing my face." Hermione said.

"Hermione, do you wnt us to go get Sirius and Lupin, or will you just tell us?" Fred asked.

"No, please do not go get Sirius ans Remus. Please. They are not the people that I want to talk to right now." Hermione pleaded.

"Fred, George, leave Mione alone. She needs to talk to girls, not guys." Ginny said as she walked in.

"Fine, but Mione please do get better." Fred said.

"Yeah Mione, because we need someone to make sure that our pranks are going to work." George said and they both left the room.

"So why have you been crying?" Luna asked appearing next to Ginny.

Thea also appeared.

"Well,..." She told what had happened.

"He is being a git." Ginny said conforting her friend.

"That was a horrible thing for him to do." Luna said.

"Mia, when you get out of this place we will have a girls day out, there is a hogsmede trip before the Halloween Ball. Ohh and there is a Halloween ball!" Thea said.

"Yeah we will!" Ginny and Luna said at the same time.

"Thanks guy's! You are my life savers!" Hermione said.

"Well your life savers need to get going, it is getting late and they have school tommorrow." Sirius said.

"How long have you been here?" Hermione asked.

"Long enough to here you say that they were your life savers." Sirius said.

"Bye guy's." Hermione said as they left the room.

"Anything important?" Sirius asked.

"Just some girl talk." Hermione answered.

"You need to get some rest." Sirius said.

"Oka dad." Hermione said laying down on her bed.

"Night Mione." He said before kissing the top of her head and leaving the room.

The room was scilent. She hated it. She just laid there waiting for sleep to take her over. It never did. She just laid there. Then she heard the door open. Someone came in. They sat on her bed.

"I love you Hermione. I wish you were awake right now. I love how peaceful you are when you sleep." A voice came, the voice of Victor Krum.

"Victor, I am awake." Hermione said.

"Hermione, love, how are you feeling?" He asked her.

"I am feeling better now that your here." Hermione said thinking Victor could help her get over Harry.

"Well I need to leave soon, but if you would like to, I will me you in Hogsmede next weekend. Which I hear is the day after you get out." Victor said.

"I would love to. I will meet you at Honeydukes." Hermione said.

"Well good night love," Victor kissed her and left.
