Chapter 17: The Fight Is Not Over

Noticing the dark look Regina was giving them, the three women realized that it was time to leave. They could not allow themselves to be distracted and slowed down by a fight against the Evil Queen. Moreover, between Emma, who was barely in control of her magic, and Hermione, who still did not know how to do it, it was complicated to engage in a fight where you had to do everything without seriously hurting the other person. For Regina, the idea was different, she had a revenge that was waiting to be settled for far too long. She teleported directly to the police station to face her eternal enemy: Snow.

It was necessary to act quickly, the agitation was setting into town. Some members of the city's population were on the verge of killing each other. Hermione could not let this continue, or they would never have time to fix things before a murder took place. Without taking her wand, she reached out and tried an "Immobilus" that did not work at all. She was disappointed but realized that everything could not work the first time. She would have to train, but it was not the kind of thing that frightened her. She ran with Emma and Elsa towards Ingrid's place.

"I knew you would join me both. Elsa, Emma ... We are finally in family!"

"I'm not welcome in, I guess ..." Hermione attempted to say.

"And who are you?"

"Hermione! I'm the daughter of Regina, a witch who will be very angry that you brought out a part of her that she's been fighting for a long time."

"Indeed, you are not welcome. The arrogance I can feel in your voice displeases me to the highest degree, young girl."

Hermione grinned. It was not the first time she had been told that she had a tendency to arrogance. Yet, for once, she was not at all annoyed with that. They were about to start the fight when Anna made her appearance in the room. The redhead had discovered that contrary to what Ingrid thought, her sister had always loved her. It was, in the end, all that the blonde wanted, to have a loving family, without suspecting that her true family had always loved her. Emma and Elsa recovered their memories from Ingrid, and all the moments of happiness they had lived with her.

The Gryffindor watched the scene without intervening. She understood that what she had thought was a complicated fight would end in discussion. Of course, she was delighted. What she had not thought of was Ingrid's sacrifice. It was apparently the only way to cancel the effects of the curse that was falling on the city. While drawing all the particles from the frozen hearts of the city, the witch looked at the four women who were around her. A generation of women brighter and more combative than ever.

Everything became normal again. Anger subsided and peace and joy returned to the city. Several laughs were heard from one end to the other of Storybrooke. It was better to laugh at it after all than to blame yourself for almost killing your neighbour or best friend. Elsa, Anna and Emma and Hermione joined the crowd and so did Snow, David, Regina and all the little group that followed.

"Hermione ... I'm so sorry for what I told you in the vault. I did not mean a word of it, I can assure you. Daniel would have been more than proud to have a daughter like you. You have his heart and that's what's most precious."

"Do not worry, Emma made me understand that it was not you who faced me but the Evil Queen. I must admit that in this role, you are very talented and creepy!"

They then all burst out laughing, saying that indeed, Regina could be very good at scaring people without having to make an effort. After all, Snow had been scared by just one sentence, said in the right tone, by the Queen, the day of her wedding.

"Well, on the other hand," Hermione said, "with regard to your dress ... No, in fact I'm going to keep that one to myself at the risk of seeing your bad side come back. But ... I have nothing to say on this when I look at fashion design in the wizarding world."

They all looked at her questioningly before she explained that the men were wearing sorcerer's robes, as they must have seen in her memories. They could only laugh together for long minutes before calm returned. Snow still wanted to apologize to David for everything she had told him in this cell, he stopped her from continuing her soliloquy by kissing her tenderly. Hermione could not deny the fact that they portrayed their story characters to perfection.

Emma looked for Hook's eyes but in vain. The pirate did not seem to be around and this worried Regina. Belle, who had just joined the group, realized that Rumple had planned everything as a distraction for his real plan. It was at this very moment that she really understood that the dagger she had in her bag was a fake. Fortunately, mixing Emma and Regina's magics, they were able to find the real dagger before joining Rumple in the Belle's tower. It was Hermione who found them following, as upon her arrival in the city, the waves of magical energy that she felt.

They arrived just in time to stop Rumple and save Hook who could finally find his heart, much to Emma's relief. Belle took care of sending the crocodile outside the city for their protection at all. It broke her heart, but she had suffered too much because of the wizard and had to finally turn the page. Once the young woman returned to Granny's, Hermione came to her to ask her questions about the darkness. It was a condition she found curious and she wanted to know more.

"I propose you to join me tomorrow at the library and I will answer all the questions you ask yourself."

"In this case, I'll see you tomorrow, I cannot wait to see what books are there."

Hermione smiled broadly, even more so when Henry suggested that she spend the whole evening discussing magic and fairy tales.
