Chapter 16
Hermione was more than happy to finally get out of the wing, even though she would be back in it soon. Everyone was in a hurry to make sure that things were going to go well and Hermione saw Harry walk in along with a girl that had long black hair.
"Well look who's here," Harry said, "Hermione and Melissa."
"And why don't you shut that mouth," Lily told him. "You're here to have fun, not to be a jerk."
"Fine," he said.
Hermione had a bad feeling that Harry was going to do something.
Severus daughter was great and Hermione thanked her for saving her life. Her name was Belladonna Snape and she smiled in return when Hermione thanked her. Of course Lily was upset for some unknown reason and soon Hermione found out why.
"She won't come for the wedding," she said.
"Why not?" Hermione asked.
"Because Petunia is being Petunia," Severus told her, "She doesn't want anything to do with us."
"It's not fair!" Lily said, "I went to her stupid wedding."
"It's going to be alright," Sirius told her, "Petunia is a nit and nothing more."
Lily nodded but Hermione knew that the rejection hurt her.
So what should have been a happy day turned into a depressing day. Lily smiled when she was supposed to and everything was great. But Hermione knew that Lily was still suffering from the rejection of her sister. Hermione sighed. She hoped that her life never turned out that way.
"We know that Lily is sensitive to things like this," Dumbledore told her. "They use to be close."
"I was told about that," Hermione said, "But I can't believe that she allowed something like magic to cause her to no longer care."
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Well what can we expect. There will come a time that Fate will deal Petunia Dursley a hand that she won't like."
Hermione had learned a long time ago not to doubt Dumbledore's wisdom.
When Lily and Severus left for their honeymoon Madam Pomfrey was the one to give Harry, Hermione, and Melissa the Wolfbane. Belladonna left to go back to France and it was soon time for another transformation. Hermione was having a sucky Christmas.

"So when am I supposed to protect Miss Granger-Potter?" Alister asked two days after Hermione had gone through her monthly transformation.
"When the term begins," Dumbledore answered, "I know that you're training Dora Tonks as an Auror."
"She's going to give me a damn heart attack," he growled, "She knocked over a glass of water alerting the person that was pretending to be a dark wizard."
Dumbledore sighed and said, "Maybe she didn't choose the right carrier. Well, anyway, I think that you can use the break."
"And who's going to watch over the disaster area?"
"Someone else," Dumbledore answered.

"Are we certain that they'll be fine?" Lily asked her husband.
"Lil, they'll be fine," Severus told her. "I might not be a fan of Alister Moody but he knows what he's doing."
She sighed and said, "I'm sorry about acting like this. But ever since Ginny Weasley attacked her, again, I've been really worried."
"I know that, dear, but I think we should enjoy ourselves."
She smiled at him and said, "Yes, your right. Let's enjoy ourselves."
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
"I wonder what exciting things they are seeing," Hermione wondered to Melissa.
"Probably better things than us having to see Harry's dumb face after we've changed back to normal," she answered.
"By the way, where's Harry at?"
"Professor McGonagall sent him back to Durmstrang," she answered, "Which I'm happy about. No telling what trouble that boy would get himself into."
Hermione breathed a huge sigh of relief. No more Harry to cause trouble.
The only downside to having Ginny attacking her was the fact that Alister went insane on the protection. He wanted to check everything and broke something that Lily and Severus had sent her. Hermione had a bad feeling that Lily wasn't going to be happy about this.
"I can't wait for term to begin," Hermione told Melissa.
"I'm not, we have to put up with Lockhart again," she said.
Hermione groaned and said, "Why do you have to ruin my happy feeling?"
"Sorry," she said.
When term began again, which Hermione and Melissa were happy about, the first thing that Hermione did was ask Luna how her Christmas had been. She hadn't been there for the wedding.
"It was great," she said, "Father and I did loads of things."
"Did you get my present?" she asked.
"I sure did," she answered, smiling.
"Glad to hear it," Hermione said, "So want to hear about the wedding?"
Luna smiled and said, "I'm all ears."
