Chapter Nine
Hermione Granger was excited about getting something from Harry. It was strange being his mate but she knew that he wouldn't hurt her. Of course she hadn't told anyone about what had happened due to either them fearing for her life (her parents) or wanting to kill her (Ginny and Ron Weasley). Even with the Wizarding world knowing that Voldemort was back, she had gotten a book from them, things didn't feel safe.
"Dinner," her mother called out.
"I'll be down," Hermione said and she sat on her bed, thinking some more.
She got a letter from Harry, this time he was in Italy with his father. He had taken plenty of photo's of all the places that Hermione would love to of gone. She had looked at these photo's several times, knowing that Harry was finally happy. That's all that Hermione had ever wanted him to be. Happy!
Hermione didn't talk much during dinner, allowing her parents to talk about all the things that had happened since Hermione had last been home. She did talk about her grades and the ball.
"Did you have fun?" her mum asked.
"Of course," Hermione said.
Hermione wrote back to Harry, telling him that she enjoyed the letters and the photos. Once the owl was gone she turned her attention to her homework. Fifth year was coming and she had heard that it was the most trying time. She wanted to make sure that she had her work done so that she was free to do whatever she wanted.

"The Full Moon will be coming soon," Dumbledore told the newly restored Order, including several new members from the Ministry. "Narcissa has shown us the location of Hufflepuff's cup and we can get it tomorrow."
"How do we even know that she's telling the truth?" someone asked.
"She got bloody attacked, and turned, by Tom," another person said, "And her son. It seems to me that she's got a damn good reason not to lie."
"Do you think that he's going to attack the Malfoy family again?" Kingsley asked.
"I doubt it," Dumbledore said, "He won't go after the same target, twice. Of course there is the Tonks family, which might be his next target."
"And why would he go after them?"
"Because Andromeda went against the family," he said.
"Sound insane," Kingsley stated.
"I agree, but we all know that there's nothing sane about Tom."
"How is Harry doing in Italy?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"He's doing well," Dumbledore said, grinning, "I think that this trip will be good for both of them."
"Are we going to get Miss Granger and bring her here?" Kingsley asked.
"After the Full Moon is over," Dumbledore told him, "I don't want there to be any chance that something will happen. The same thing with your children, Molly!"
"I understand," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Of course I'm worried that Tom will have full control over his mind," Remus said. "He's completed his first transformation and can now drink the Wolfbane."
"He's going to have to find someone to brew it," Kingsley stated.
"The Ministry already knows this," one of the new members said, "And they are keeping tabs on any brewer that's good enough to brew the potion."
"I know the Ministry knows this," Kingsley countered. "I'm making a statement, that's all."
"Enough! Fighting like this isn't going to make people safe," Dumbledore said. "I trust the Ministry will have a handle on this. Let's just hope that one doesn't escape their attention."

Harry could feel the moon coming and he shuttered to think about the next transformation. He hated being a werewolf, adding it to another thing that made him different than everyone else, but he knew there was nothing that he could do about it. Like clockwork Severus brewed the Wolfbane for Harry. The third time that he drank it Harry asked, "What about this friend of Dumbledore's?"
"He was in China, with his wife, but he's back," his father said, "You'll go and meet him when you're done recovering."
Harry wanted to ask more, but decided against it.
"I must also tell you that I've decided to file charged against the Dursley's," his father went on. "What they did to you is beyond barbaric."
"I doubt anything will be done to them."
Harry caught his father giving him a look and said, "They won't be tried in muggle courts, but in our courts. I won't stand for them getting away with this."
Harry nodded but said nothing.
On the night of the Full Moon Harry was locked in a room that was heavily warded. Severus could hear his son's screams and it broke his heart. After hearing what had happened to Draco and Narcissa all he wanted was to shove a gun down Tom's throat and blow his head off. That man had caused too much pain and he was going to pay.

"WE HAVE ANOTHER ATTACK," a Disposal wizard bellowed as they rushed someone through the doors of St. Mungo.
"Put her on the bed," said the healer. "When did this happen?"
"An hour ago," he said, "Tom activated the trace when he arrived but he was gone before we got there."
"Victim's name?"
"Her parents told me that her name is Hermione Granger," the wizard answered.

A/N: I decided to end the chapter here. Felt that this was a good spot to end it. Thanks everyone that has commented on my story. Sorry about not updating in nearly a week. I had things that I had to take care of.
