All seven froze in place.

"Ah, Miss. Black, are you alright?"

"Yes, I am and all thanks to this lot. I don't know what I would have done without them. I know we're all out of bed after hours Professor, but they're only because of me. So please don't punish them."

"Not to worry. None of you are in trouble. I'm just glad that you are alright. Glad that you all are. Since all of you are alright I can rest easy. Good night." Dumbledore said before leaving.

"Good night Professor." All seven said shocked and relieved.

They all gave the password, the portrait swung open, they quickly walked through and headed for their dormitories.

Sirius fastened the letter the tawny owl and watched it fly off.

"Remus, what a surprise. Shouldn't you still be at Hogwarts teaching classes?"

"In a way I suppose. I have Severus filling in for me for the rest of the day. I have inf…"

"Hold on a moment Remus. I'll be right back shortly. I need to check on something for Harry."

Before Remus could say another word Sirius disappeared. For the next few hours Remus paced the living room until Sirius returned.

"Do you have a moment now?"

"Yes. I sent a letter to Harry from the Manor with the information he wanted."

"You should sit down for this Sirius."

"I'm good. Go on."

"It has to do with Violet and her whereabouts."

Sirius fell back into an armchair as the color in his face drained. His heart was pounding as a million thought raced through his head.

"Sirius, are you still with me?"

"Um…what…yeah…sorry. W-what about Violet."

"She is at Hogwarts."

"What? You mean right now?"

"Yes. She's in her first year, a Gryffindor. She approached Harry and Ginny about you. From what I've seen she has joined Harry's group of friends. The fact that Violet approached Harry wanting to know about you, tells me that she wants to get to know you if not more."

"Are you sure? Could it really be that easy?"

"Yes, I'm sure and it was that easy to find her. Harry and Ginny suspected that this first year by the name of Violet Black might be your daughter, once they saw the changes and additions to the tapestry. They didn't want to say anything in the off chance that they might be wrong even though they were sure that they were right and well they were right."

Sirius sat in the armchair for several minutes. Over the next few hours Sirius alternated between sitting in the armchair and pacing.

"Sirius are you alright?"

"I need a drink." Sirius whispered.

-crack-

"Master say he need a drink?"

"Yes he did Kreacher. How about a long-island iced tea, to help calm his nerves."

"Kreacher return soon."

-crack-

By the time Kreacher returned, Sirius was once again sitting in the armchair. Though Sirius was still pale he was smiling. Once could see a longing, a bit of excitement, happiness, fear, terror and that he was a little anxious.

"Your drink Master."

Sirius took the goblet while mumbling what sounded like a thank you. In one gulp Sirius finished the drink.

The weekend flew by for Sirius. He spent the time by bathing, getting a haircut and trashing his wardrobe trying to find just the right thing to wear for when he arrives at Hogwarts.

Remus returned to Hogwarts late Sunday night.

The following morning at breakfast a brown barn owl landed in Harry's plate of food.

Harry quickly relived the owl of the letter. As the owl flew off Harry unrolled the small scroll of parchment and read,

Harry,

As I said before I did not know of a time limit but that I would find out for you.

I went to the Manor and inquired about it through the portrait of Harrison. There is a time limit. Not to worry, it's not real close. You have until your 15th birthday to claim the whole inheritance, as in the Manor and the vaults at Gringotts.

I better go. Moony is waiting for me to return. I must say that I am curious as to why he left Hogwarts.

See you at the end of the term. And I must say, stay out of trouble and do your best to ignore and steer clear of Percy.

Love,

Padfoot.

"I'm sure that Moony has been able to tell Sirius about Violet by now." Ron said.

"And as I said before, Sirius will want to make the best impression." Harry added quickly.

The rest of the weekend went by slowly for Violet. The only thing that helped the time pass was sneaking off to the room of requirement and discussing what Harry did to Draco's burn. Draco had not shown up over the weekend. He thought that with what happened the last time he was there, that it would be best to steer clear of Harry and his friends. Harry had managed to get a note to Severus explaining what happened Friday and asking Severus if he would say that Draco got the potion from him.

Monday morning the small group of Gryffindor's entered the dining hall, walked to their table and took their seats. Harry glanced at Remus to see that Remus was looking in his direction smiling.

Harry had just started eating his breakfast when he felt someone kick him from under the table. He looked up to see Hermione staring at him.

"What?"

"Look." Hermione said as she nodded towards the doors to the dining hall.

Harry looked over at the doors as he took a sip of water. At seeing Sirius he sprayed water all over Violet.

"Sorry Violet, I didn't mean…look at the doors."

"What?" Violet asked as she tried to wipe off her head and neck.

"Look at the doors to the dining hall. Trust me."

Violet looked at the doors and at seeing Sirius froze. She could barely breath. All her hopes and fears hit her all at once.

"Yes Violet that is your dad." Harry whispered.

Violet remained in place with her mouth slightly hanging open.

Harry noticed that everyone in the dining hall was either staring at Sirius or whispering with a few doing both.

"Violet, he's here for you. I know it. I haven't done anything and nothing has happened to me that would require him to be here. He's here because he wants to be. He's here for you." Harry whispered

Violet stood up and faced Sirius as he spotted her. She slowly started to walk towards Sirius while trying to calm herself. When Violet saw Sirius smile warmly at her, she ran the rest of the way screaming 'DAD'. As Violet reached Sirius she hugged ham as he hugged her.

Harry looked back at the Gryffindor table. When he eyed Percy he smirked.

"So Percy, does that look like he doesn't care? Do you see now that Sirius never knew and didn't run out on Ruby? So, have Violet's words from Friday penetrate yet? Or do you still feel that Sirius is a bad influence?"

Percy looked away from Harry without a word. Percy didn't glance at the doors again.

"Go on then and ignore me. It would be wise of you to not talk ill of Sirius, or me ever again." Harry said sternly with a warning in his voice.

"Settle down. Settle down everyone. Finish your breakfast and get to classes." Dumbledore said as he stood up.

Dumbledore walked around the table and towards the dining hall doors. He quietly spoke to Sirius and Violet. Sirius nodded and followed Dumbledore out while keeping a parental protective arm around Violet.

That week went by quicker than any other. With Draco's burn healed he had not been going to the room of requirement much. Only a few times he went and hung out with Harry and his group of friends.

Violet was cheerful and excited. She had something to look forward to. All she talked about was for part of the summer she was going to be spending the time with her father. She also wanted to share the letter from her mother with her father, as there was a part in it specifically for him.

At dinner on Friday a barn owl landed in front of Harry. Harry, nor anyone else, had not noticed the owl right a way and the owl became inpatient. The owl hooted and pecked Harry's hand hard.

"Ouch!" Harry exclaimed as he turned and say the owl.

Harry took the note from the owl curious yet confused. The owl hooted angrily and flew off.

"Who would waste the parchment for such a small note?" Asked Ron.

"I don't know. I don't recognize the writing.

"Well, what does it say?" Asked Hermione.

Harry unfolded the parchment and read,

Please meet me you know where. I need to talk to you. I don't care who comes along with you. I just really need to talk to you. I don't know what to do and yes I am a little scared.

"Odd." Said Hermione.

"It's signed, 'in need of help'." Said Harry.

"That's really strange and it's really cryptic." Said Hermione.

"Harry, you should have at least one of us with you. It sounds a bit dodgy to me." Ron said really concerned.

"I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but Ron has a point. It could be trick." Said Fred.

"How so?" Asked Ginny.

"Who have we been helping?" Asked George.

"As in if we assume it's who ever we've, or well you've all been helping and it's not it could go from bad to worse for him? It was really close last time and dumb and dumber don't have anything to keep them busy." Said Violet.

"Yes! You've got potential, Black." Said the twins excitedly.

"I could go alone. All I have to do is just be under my dad's old cloak."

"That works for me." Said Ron.

The group of Gryffindor's, minus Harry, got up and headed for their common room. Harry stayed behind to have a little more food, as he hadn't had much at breakfast or at lunch.

Harry decided to take the long way to Gryffindor Tower after getting his fill of food. The corridor was deserted which provided some glorious quiet. He was lost in thought and collided with someone.

"Sorry. I didn't…"

"Watch where you are walking Potter." Draco said loud but with a terrified expression on his face.

"Did you send me the not to meet?" Harry whispered.

"Yes." Draco whispered back.

"What ever Malfoy." Harry said as he gently pushed past Draco incase Crabbe or Goyle were around.

Harry quickly made his way to Gryffindor Tower, through the portrait and through the common room to where his friends were.

"So how much more did you actually eat?" Asked Ron

"I bumped into Draco on my way back here." Harry whispered.

"Did he send you the note?" Asked Ginny.

"Yes. And in a few minutes I'm going to the room of requirement. I'm going even if no one else does. But if any of you or all of you want to be there to find out first hand what's gong on then I suggest we go in small groups and not use the same path." Harry said.

"Of course we'll all be there." Hermione stated.

When the common room began to empty Harry, Ginny and Violet left for the room of requirement. Hermione and Ron followed a several minutes later. Fred and George were the last to leave and show up in the room of requirement to wait with the rest for Draco.

"It's nearly eleven. I got the impression that talking to was really important. He hasn't shown up so far, I wonder if he will. I mean if he'll be able to. I'm starting to get worried." Said Hermione.

"I'm sure he's just having a difficult time trying to shake off Crabbe and Goyle." Ron said.

"That's what worries me Ron. What if Crabbe and Goyle are around and saw us come in here and then saw Draco trying to come in?" Asked Hermione.

"Before we start coming to any possible conclusion as to what is going on, lets give it some more time. Draco probably had to wait until Crabbe and Goyle fell asleep."

"I agree with Harry." Said Ginny and Violet.

Around eleven-thirty Draco walked into the room of requirement.

"Everything okay?" Asked Hermione.

"I've been trying for hours to get rid of Crabbe and Goyle. Finally I just gave in and waited for them to pass out."

"So what was the note all about?" Asked Harry.

"Well, my mum sent me a care package with the usual sweets and a note telling me that my dad sill be showing up at Hogwarts sometime this weekend."

"You don't think that Crabbe and Goyle sent a letter to you father about their suspicions, so you?" Asked Ron.

"It's possible. If nothing else they've some how told my father that I keep disappearing and all the times I've gotten pain potions. Who knows what else they've said or seen or even made up to make themselves look better. Depending on the reason why my father will be here at Hogwarts the possibilities are endless. I don't know how to keep it from him that I've reached out to all of you for help. I mean I don't know if he knows how to get into one's mind, you know Legilimency. If he does anything to me this weekend, I'm afraid of what lies in store for me this summer."

"I don't see it to be likely that your father would do anything to you this weekend. It would be obvious to a lot of people. I don't mean to add to what you're already feeling but whatever it is as to why your father is coming to Hogwarts this weekend, you'll face it this summer. I really wish that there was something more we could do." Said Hermione.

"I can't properly produce a shield charm. My father can't use magic on me but that won't stop him. I'm seriously afraid to go home this summer. But I don't see how I can't go home. Harry, do you think you might be able to get Sirius to do something? Sirius and my mum are family and I am hoping that he'll be able to do something or want to but I won't hold my breath they haven't acted like family…ever. I know he has to be somewhat overwhelmed. I mean finding out that you have an eleven-year-old daughter has to be a shock. Fortunately in this case it's a good shock. It's just that my mum and I could use all the help we can get."

"Sirius is aware of what has been going on. Well, I haven't told him about the burn but he has been trying to figure out how to help. With everything that has gone on I'm sure it has slipped his mind. But I will let him know and I'm sure he will figure out something. He is the Head of the House of Black now, he declared himself as such recently. If things get bad, real bad or you need to get away for a while, find a way to get to number twelve Grimmuald Place. It's Sirius's house and for the most part most of will be there throughout the summer. If for some reason you show up there and only Kreacher is there call for your old house elf, Dobby, and ask him to find me."

"Thank you Harry."

"No need to thank me. I can't stand by and let your father keep doing this to you and your mum. Try not to think about it or worry about anything. I can see it in your eyes that you want to talk more, but as it's nearing three and if your father shows up tomorrow…well it won't look good if you over sleep. You're obviously not supposed to know that he's coming."

"You're right. I should get…"

-crack-

"Harry Potter sir, them Slytherin boys woke up and they're headed this way. Dobby take young Malfoy to his room. Must hurry."

"Thank you Dobby."

Dobby grabbed hold of Draco and disappeared.

"What do we do? Should we wait for Dobby to come back and ask if he'll take us to our rooms? Or do we chance it and get the hell out of here?"

-crack-

"Young Malfoy safely in his room. Them boys are out there. Dobby not wanting any of you leaving with them boys out there."

"Dobby will you take Ron and Violet to out common room?'

"Yes Harry Potter."

"Ron, get into my trunk and pull out my dad's old cloak. Send it with Dobby."

Ron agreed quickly, he did not want to get caught. He knew he would not just be in trouble at school.

After several minutes Dobby returned with the invisibility cloak.

"Dobby, do you think you could take three with you?"

"Yes Dobby can sir. They's will have to hold on to Dobby."

"Take the Weasley twins and Hermione. Don't worry, Ginny and I will be under the invisibility cloak. No one will see us, we'll be fine and we'll see you shortly."

Fred, George and Hermione grabbed hold of Dobby and disappeared. Harry flew the cloak over himself and Ginny. As they walked out of the room of requirement Crabbe and Goyle were both looking in opposite directions and did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Once Ginny and Harry arrived in the Gryffindor common room everyone else relaxed.

"Now that we are all here we should turn in for the night." Hermione said sleepily relieved.

The following day Harry did his best to keep an eye out for Draco and Lucius. He was careful to not be noticed when doing this, which made it so that Harry could not be as watchful as he wanted to be for any signs from Draco as to whether or not his father was around or to spot Lucius if he were around.

That afternoon Draco seemed more scared than the night before. Harry tried to figure out how to find out if Lucius had shown up or not. Evening was looming and Harry had not yet come up with a plan.

Since Harry hadn't been able to find a way to find out if Lucius was at Hogwarts or not Harry and Ginny took a walk around the school just after dinner. They walked around the castle in silence. Harry was content for now to just be walking around with Ginny holding her hand. As they entered a corridor they could hear voices. Harry and Ginny slowed their pace and stopped before going around a bend in the corridor.

"Stay out of my business Severus. What goes on in my house does not concern you."

"Beating or injuring your child is not acceptable! Not to mention what you've been doing to Draco has interfered with his classes and that makes it even more my business, Lucius. I don't know what ill conceived notions you have, but Draco hasn't been talking to anyone. Believe me I would know."

"Bull shit! How did he end up with a medicinal potion?"

"You idiot! I could tell that Draco was in pain. He said nothing to me and I asked no questions. I gave him a pain relieving-healing potion. Did it ever cross your mind that the Potion's master could have given your son a potion? No of course it didn't, you just jumped straight to assuming that your son was telling everyone what you have been doing to him and what you've done to Narcissa if anything!"

"Well, maybe my son would be better off going to a different school."

"Good luck with that Lucius. Narcissa has all control over Draco's school affairs."

"We'll see about that!" Snarled Lucius.

"Just remember what I did before the Christmas holiday. It's obvious you attempted to cause harm to Draco. You didn't try to have it healed now did you?" Smirked Severus knowing that by trying to heal the injury would only make it worse and that the same protection would be for Narcissa.

"Humph."

As Lucius turned to leave Harry and Ginny could see the right side of Lucius's face and softly gasped. The whole right side was red and swollen. The bandage did not seem to help, it was soaked and it clearly looked infected.

Harry and Ginny stayed where they were for few more minutes before resuming their walk. As they passed tapestries hanging along the wall Harry could see the portrait of the fat lady up ahead. Harry stopped abruptly causing Ginny to be jerked backwards.

"Harry? What is it?"

"Who am I kidding?" Harry whispered.

"Harry, what are y…" Ginny trailed off.

Harry gently pulled Ginny behind the tapestries. Once facing each other Harry placed his hands on her hips and pulled her right up against his body. He slid his hands up over her hips, around her arms, along her waist up to her shoulders, up her neck and held her face between his hands. While staring into Ginny's big, warm brown eyes he slowly brought his head closer to hers. Ginny closed her eyes as Harry's lips touched hers. Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's back and held on.

Harry knew he had to be careful and not get carried away. It was difficult for him to concentrate and to keep his control. Harry knew he should stop kissing Ginny but it felt so good and familiar. With his last bit of self-control he thought he had he tried to pull away but Ginny had deepened the kiss. Harry lost all concentration, control and all sense of time. He barely felt one of Ginny's hands slide around to the lower part of his chest and slowly start to go lower. He gently grabbed her hand and stopped her decent. He somehow managed to break the kiss.

With his heart pounding, his mind swimming and spinning and breathing so hard he was panting made it impossible to speak. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against the top of Ginny's head.

"Harry…why…did…you…stop?"

"Had…to."

Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry and pulled him closer to her. She rolled he head to the side and started lightly kissing his chest and shoulder. At that moment Harry realized that his shirt had been removed. The feel of Ginny's warm lips and breath against his bare chest felt better than anything and nearly resulted in him throwing all sense and reason out the window. With his last bit of strength he pleaded with Ginny.

"Ginny…please…stop."

"No."

"Ginny…please…I…don't…think…I…could…"

"Don't think then." Ginny whispered.

"Ginny…I…we…can't…not…now…no…rush…plenty…of…time."

"I don't want to stop."

"Not…saying…that…I…want…to…stop."

"Then why do keep trying to stop this and asking me to stop?"

Harry closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. He was about to say something when Ginny's warm lips touched his and the dance begun again. After several minutes Harry managed to break off the kiss once again.

"Why stop? We both don't want to."

"We have to."

"Why?'

"Because, as much as…I don't want…to…stop I don't want…to give anyone reason…to think that Percy…may have had a point…as to me and you. And I don't…that just a tad more than…I don't want to stop."

Ginny sighed in surrender.

"Ginny like I said, there's plenty of time and no rush. I'm not going anywhere. There is no one else for me. Just you. Now let's go before anyone decides to send out a search party."

"Harry wait."

"Ginny…pl…"

"Your shirt."

"Oh, yeah. That would be good." Harry said as he pulled his shirt on.

They stared at each other for a while. Ginny made movements to suggest that she was going to kiss Harry again.

"Ginny…we better go…I know I wouldn't be able to stop you or me. Please…let's go."

"Okay." Ginny said softly.

Harry and Ginny stepped back out in the hall and continued to the portrait hand in hand. Harry gave the password in a raspy-hoarse voice. The fat lady gave Harry a suspicious look.

Harry smiled weakly as he lightly blushed. As the portrait swung open Harry pulled Ginny in front of him and both walked through the portrait hole.

As Ginny and Harry made their way through the common room Harry kept Ginny pretty close to him. Halfway through the common room Harry spotted Percy who was puffed up, purple in the face with his eyes open wide, he turned and stomped off.

Fred and George noticed Percy stomping off and looked around to see what upset their eldest brother at school. They spotted Harry and Ginny and looked at each other questioningly and somewhat knowing. The twins looked back to see that Harry and Ginny had reached the table.

"So where have the two of you been?" Asked the twins.

"Just walking around." Harry answered a little quicker than necessary.

"What have you been doing?" Asked the twins.

"What? N-nothing…we weren't…nothing at all. You're both crazy." Harry said in a rush.

"You expect us to believe that?" Asked Fred.

"With the glazed over wild but slightly crazy look in your eyes? Not to mention the flushed tinge to your face…" Said George.

"And how you walked in with our sister in front of you as though shielding yourself." Said the twins.

Harry could not think of anything to say. His heart was pounding so hard it was causing his breathing to quicken and he could fell the heat of his face as the flushed tinge darkened a little.

"Of course Harry would be behind me and making sure that he could see me so that I wouldn't hex him." Ginny said calmly with a hint of anger.

"What do you mean? What did Harry do? Why would you hex him?" Asked Ron

"He stopped me and made me come here."

"Ginny what did you do?" Asked Hermione curiously cautious.

"Well, if all of you felt that what happened in the carriage after the holiday was bad or unfair of me or out of character for me, well that was noting to what I did…"

"Ginny!" Exclaimed Fred, George and Ron.

Harry rested his forehead against the back of Ginny's head. He softly whispered a thank you. He didn't know what else to say. He was surprised but grateful that Ginny put it out there as though she was at fault. He had no clue as to how to clarify that he was the one that started it. He did know that he was going to do just that as soon as he felt safe to. He refused to let anyone think badly of Ginny.

Violet smiled and shook her head.

"I'm going up to bed now. No offense to any of you. I'm just not used to the crazy hours all of you have. I am sure that in no time I will be used to it and soon." Violet said as she grabbed her bag and headed off up to the girl's dormitories.

"Oh no. Percy." Groaned Ron quietly.

"What about him? He's not around right now." Said Hermione.'

"But he saw Harry and Ginny when they walked through the common room earlier. There's no telling what he'll do or what he'll say to our mum and dad."

"Like what Ron? The worst Percy can say is that Harry and I aren't acting appropriately and that we're spending to much time alone."

"Uh…no…Ginny it could be a lot worse."

"Mum and dad won't believe him."

"I hope you're right Ginny. It would really suck for me if mum and dad killed my little sister and my best friend."

"Ron really don't worry so much. Mum and dad won't kill me or Harry. Trust me. Even if they are upset I can handle mum and dad."

"Hold on. Ginny why are you attacking Harry? I mean I understand that the carriage thing was to get at Percy and that you wanted to kiss him. But this evening…I mean it seems like you deliberately went after Harry." Said Hermione.

"I know exactly how Harry feels about me and can't seem to not take advantage of that. I'm talking about his feelings for me before…" Ginny stopped, looked around and softly continued, "…he sent himself back in time, what he felt for me then and what he realized before the potion exploded and that those feelings followed him back in time with him. I know it's true and…so what if I'm young…I know what I want and…well, so I took advantage of a situation full aware of how Harry feels and trying to find out how far…"

Harry cleared his throat before saying, "Ginny please calm down. And please stop thinking what you are thinking."

"And how do you know what I am thinking?"

"I realized a discovery you made you earlier and what you nearly, but didn't say and I am sure of where you were headed in trying to explain. Plus something I said to you before we returned to the common room. So please stop thinking about it. If you can't stop doing that, then please don't follow through anytime soon. There are a number of things that have to happen first."

"Like what?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow. I promise."

"Okay. You better tell me."

"I will." Harry said as he sighed.

"You okay?"

"Mmm hmm."

Ginny led Harry to an armchair since it was only the six of them. Once Harry sat down and was comfortable, Ginny curled up on Harry's lap.

Just as Fred, George, Ron and Hermione made their way to the other armchairs and couch McGonagall walked in,

"What is going on in here?" Asked McGonagall irritated.

"Nothing Professor. None of us could sleep is all." Hermione answered honestly and a bit confused.

"Than why have I heard a different story from Mr. Percy Weasley?"

"How are we supposed to know what goes on inside Percy's head?" Asked Ron.

"Watch it Mr. Ronald Weasley."

"Honestly Professor nothing is going on. Percy seems to think that we're not good enough to be friends with and hang out with Ginny. It doesn't make any sense really. He felt that Sirius was just an uncaring, womanizing player and a bad influence on Harry and that Harry was going to follow in Sirius's footsteps while corrupting his youngest brother and only sister along the way. But with the uniting of Sirius and his daughter I would have thought that Percy would get over it. Obviously he has not. Um…Professor, could I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead Miss. Granger."

"Do you think that Ginny and Harry have ever acted inappropriate or been inappropriate? When they're together, I mean."

"Well, no I can't say that I do feel that way or have ever seen them act in such a way."

"Well, Percy thinks that they have been or that Harry has been any way and that they spend too much time alone together."

"I don't see how that they could spend too much time together as they hardly ever do. But I will have a talk with Mr. Percy Weasley. It is late and you all should be in bed. As there are no classes tomorrow I won't force all of you to go to your dormitories. Beside I know that you all would just come back down here anyway. Do keep it down, I don't know if you all have been loud or not, just keep it quiet, as I am sure all you have been. Good night."

"Good night Professor." All six said as McGonagall left the common room.

"Ron don't start again. Mum and dad will question me about what ever Percy told them and I will make sure that they know it was me all along." Said Ginny calmly and confident.

"And what if mum and dad want to talk to or question Harry?"

"I'll be honest with your parents about what happened. I plan on talking to them anyway. And Ron, Ginny is right, stop worrying so much."

"Well, I think we all should get to bed. I mean incase the Weasley's parents show up tomorrow. They might not but incase they do it would be good if we're awake and somewhat refreshed." Said Hermione

"Wait a second, we didn't get to tell you that Lucius Malfoy showed up today. He was in a heated discussion with Snape." Said Harry.

"Yeah, and the gash on Lucius's face is horrible. I don't think that it can be healed. At least not quickly with magic, I bet that it has to heal slowly over time and if you try to have it magically healed it gets worse." Added Ginny.

"I think I know what you're talking about. I'm glad that Snape thought of it. Now hopefully what is protecting Draco from magical injury is also protecting his mum. But it won't stop Lucius from hurting them as bad as he can by the means of the Muggle way. Let's hope that this summer is peaceful and pain free for Draco and his mum and if not, hopefully Draco will be able to get to Sirius's for help." Hermione said.

An hour later all six went up to his or her dormitory and to bed.
