Saving Your Life Chapter 8: The Arrest of Molly Weasely, a harry potter fanfic

Arthur Weasely was woken early with a loud knock on the door. He grumbled, got out of bed and tied his robe around his waist and made his way down stairs. He walked up to the front door only for the person to knock louder.

"Wait one minute." said the redhead and opened the door to find Nyphadora Tonks standing in front of him. She had shoulder length purple hair, fare skin, blue eyes and a slender womanly figure.

"Tonks it's five in the morning. What are you doing here? Kingsely what's going on?" he asked the auror who stood next to the woman. Kingsely Shaklebolt was black man with bold head, brown eyes and muscular built.

"We're sorry to wake you Arthur but this is serious business." said Kingsely.

Arthur opened the door wider and the two aurors stepped into the house. "What's happened is everyone all right?"

"I suggest you get Molly up and bring her down stairs." said Tonks.

He nodded and left the two aurors in the living room and looked at each other. They hated what they were about to do, and they both knew that Tobias Snape was no fool. He held high standing in the wizarding council.

Molly came down stairs dressed in her robe. "What's happened? Is there Order meeting? "

"Something has happened Molly." said Tonks. She turned the redhead around with her back facing her. "You are under arrest for brewing illegal potion. The attempted murder of the infant John Granger," and she placed magical handcuffs on Molly's wrists.

Molly looked up the stairs and saw Ginny with her hands over her mouth in shock. She lowered them and narrowed her eyes at her mother.

"How could you Mum? I know you want Ron and Mione together, but killing John is not right." said Ginny. She looked at Tonks. "Take where she belongs." She looked back at her mother. "You better watch yourself. Sarah is going to beat the shit out of you. I hate to see what Eileen Snape will do to you."

"I didn't do anything." said Molly to her daughter and husband. "You have to believe me."

Arthur studied his wife hard for a moment. "You were trying too hard to be nice to Hermione. I could tell you wanted to do something when she entered the house. I'll learn the truth soon. But for now I do not truth you." Tonks nodded to Arthur and Molly and they took Molly from the house.

Ginny ran to her father's open arms. He pulled her into a tight hug. He rested his cheek on her forehead and rubbed her back.

Tonks shoved Molly into an empty cell and locked it behind her. She shook her head at the loving woman. She couldn't believe that Molly would try something so mean as to kill a baby.

"You have gone too far Molly." said the auror. "And attacking Lord Tobias Snape's grandchild was not wise at all. The court is going to spit you out quicker then you can blink," and swept from the cell leaving Molly alone.

Molly narrowed her eyes and laid down on the hard cot. She couldn't believe she had gotten caught. She wondered why the baby hadn't died yet. The witch must not have been drinking the tea everyday like she told her.

Severus woke up with Hermione in his arms. He kissed her brow gently. He placed a hand on her forehead and found her burning up with fever. He got up from the bed and swept into her bathroom and returned with a small bowl of water and wash cloth. He pulled the desk chair next to the bed and sat down.

"What has that woman done to you?" he whispered as he ran the cool rag against her forehead.

"Severus I got word that Mrs. Weasely was taken to Azkaban." said Sarah. "Is Mi ok?" She walked into the bedroom and sat down next to Hermione. "She's burning up. Is that normal?"

Eileen walked into the room and covered her mouth in shock. She quickly walked over to Hermione. She pulled out her wand made a small cut in her arm. She pulled out a vial that was in pocket and filled it with her blood. She healed the cut and stuck her wand back in her pocket. She corked the vial.

"I'll go run some tests. You're father is at a council meeting with Albus. I'll go wake Minnie." said Eileen and quickly left the bedroom.

"Severus what can we do?" asked Sarah.

"Hermione poison is leaving her system. The next twenty four hours is critical." whispered Severus.

"I'll go get Ginny and Harry," and Sarah ran from the room knowing Hermione would needed to be around those she saw as family.

Minerva ran into the room and sat down were Sarah had been a moment ago. She took Hermione's hand into her own. She prayed the fever wouldn't made John's heart quit all together.

Ginny jumped up from the couch when Sarah stepped out of the fireplace. Harry stood up and held the redhead's hand. Sarah quickly told the couple what was going on at the Manor.

"Go on. Go pack. You can stay there for as long as you need to. I know the aurors are busy finding evidence." said Arthur, and looked over at the kitchen at all the aurors.

Ginny hugged her dad. Harry, Ginny and Sarah ran up the stairs to get the couple packed to stay at Prince Manor. The trio returned within minutes. Arthur hugged his daughter and pulled Harry into a quick hug. They were gone in swirl of green flames.

Arthur sat back down and watched the aurors destroy his kitchen. He shook his head knowing that his wife was truly guilty. He didn't know how, but he could feel it deep in his bones.

Tobias stood in the center of the large round court room looking at the Lords and Ladies of the court. He could tell somewhere in shock at the news that they were told only a few moments ago.

"Are you positive that it was the illegal potion Death Slumber?" asked Madame Bones.

"I'm sure of it. We have one of the most well known Potions Master in Wales working on potion. I took matters quickly into my own hands and Mrs. Molly Weasely now sits in Azkaban."

"How did you come of this knowledge so quickly Lord Snape?" asked Minster Fudge.

'Shit, I didn't think about that.' thought Tobias. 'It's time for a tiny lie.' "Hermione Granger's family was attacked and a death eater raped the poor woman. This rape resulted in a pregnancy, and we knew the Granger family for several years, and we took Hermione into our home to help her through this hard time."

"That was very kind of you Lord Snape." said Madame Bones. "As we all know it's not safe to give a pregnant woman Veritaserum. The trial will have to wait until the baby is born. How far along is Miss Granger?"

"Six months." said Tobias. "The time we have will let us get a strong case against Mrs. Weasely."

Fudge nodded, "Very well. The trial will be set at a later date. You are dismissed."

Tobias sighed and left the court room with the Headmaster grateful that they had plenty of time to bring a good case against Molly Weasely.

Eileen stood over a steaming potion. She had been working on it for hours. She ignored her growling stomach and pressed onward. She knew the poison was leaving Hermione system, but the reason behind the blood was to check and see if it was leaving John little system.

"Mum you've been down her since seven o'clock. It's dinner time. You need to eat." said Sarah gently not to startle the woman.

Eileen looked up from the potion and tucked an oily strain of hair from her face. "All right Sarah." She bent over and lowered the flame.

"Harry and Ginny are here. I went and got them from Burrow. Harry fixed supper. He cooks when he's worried."

She nodded and the women left the basement for the kitchen.

Minerva, Albus, Tobias, Sarah, Eileen, Harry and Ginny sat at the long dinning room table staring at their still full plates. Harry picked up his fork and began to move his food around unable to eat. They were all worried for Hermione, and they could do nothing but stand back, watch and wait.

Severus tucked the blankets a little tighter around Hermione and grabbed a book from the shelf. He rubbed John gently and he opened the children's book and quietly read it his son that was all he could do was try to keep Hermione's fever down and keep a close eye on John. He prayed they'd make it through the next toughest hours yet.
