Chapter 7
"Are you ok dear?" Hermione swirled around to meet a worried gaze of the Pink Lady.
"I don't know any more Ann." The Lady smiled warmly.
"You looked very cozy with professor Snape, if you ask me. Is he your husband Hermione?"
"What? How?" She was speechless.
"All the portraits know about that outrageous Marriage Law, Dear. Besides such words like: You're a Slitherin by marriage now. And you are mine, kind of gives it away. Oh, and Phineas told me what happened in the Headmasters office. I can't believe, youre Head of the House! After all you did! That lot should be kicked out from Hogwarts for treating you like this. If you just let me to give a piece of my mind to them…"
"There is no need Ann."
"Don't be silly! Of course there is! You won't find a portrait in this castle or ghost that wouldn't want a little chitchat with those two, or your so-called friends. Just because The Protecto binds us we can't do it without your permission."
"You all know that I cast the Protecto? How? I thought you knew because you overhead us."
"Oh no, dear. We all felt you casting it. We just can't talk about it till you let us. You are the most wonderful girl to ever grace Hogwarts since Ravenclaw herself. If you need help we will be more than glad to give it, dear. I think you did a good thing making up your own mind and not listening to the headmaster. Old goat that one. The professor is a better choice than those two you had Hermione."
"You sound just like Parvati and Lavender, Ann."
"I always knew they were smart girls." The Gryffindor laughed.
"I had a crazy 2 days. I feel like I am going to sleep for a week, Ann."
"Before you go inside you better put the distracto on, love. The young Miss Weasley is in the common room."
"Thanks. No need to face the harpy today." at what Ann nodded. "Done."
"Ever lasting dream. Night Ann."
"Night Hermione. Sweet dreams."

Her roommates were waiting for her.
"So how did it go?"
"You won't believe me."
"Your lips are swollen. Oh god… Spill!"
She explained with all details.
"I can't believe it! He went all Neanderthal on you!" Levander could just gap at her.
"I know. I was there, remember?" Hermione was in bed and looked at the dark of their room.
"I can't believe McGonagall didn't tell you about the spell. How could she!" Parvati also wasn't pleased.
"I want to be a fly on the wall when she'll start to write your letter and find Mrs. Snape instead of Mrs. Weasley."
"Serves her right! I can bet they all are thinking that you going to sign it tomorrow evening. Bastards."
"Tomorrow I'll find a compartment on the train and charm it so that they couldn't find me. So the only problem is breakfast. We all need to eat. You two have neglected your boyfriends so you will spend your ride with them."
"But..."
"No buts Lav. I will ride alone. Now let's sleep. I'm tired."
"Night Hermione. Oh, and Mya?"
"What?"
"Nice ring." "Did you like his kisses?"
"Drop dead you two." Her answers were few snickers.
