After the crazy Weasley bint sent Hermione a Howler Hermione decided she was going to send one back. She halfway wished she could be there when Molly received it. When she was finished writing it, she sent it off with Frostavia.
Molly Weasley was sitting down to dinner with her entire family, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Harry Potter. The owl came flying through the window and dropped a red letter into Molly's treacle tart.
"Who'd you piss off?" Arthur was looking at the letter like it would explode any minute. "Best fish it out Molly Wobbles and open it up."
Molly opened the letter, and the rage-filled voice of Hermione came through and stunned everyone at the table. Mrs. Black had even added a bit at the end.
YOU CRAZY BINT! HOW DARE I? HOW DARE I? WHAT ABOUT HOW DARE YOU?! YOU SEND YOUR SHIT THROUGH MY BLOCKED FLOO, YOU WANT ME TO MARRY YOUR WANKER OF A SON. I COULD GO ON. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF. YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING BARRED FROM MY HOUSE, YES THAT'S RIGHT I SAID MY HOUSE. I SIGNED THE TRANSFER PAPERS IN FRONT OF THE GOBLINS. SIRIUS LEFT ME THE HOUSE AND OTHER THINGS BECAUSE HARRY HAS HIS INHERITANCE FROM HIS PARENTS. IF YOU DON'T BUTT THE FUCK AND LEAVE ME ALONE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WILL BE SORRY. AS FOR ME LEAVING YOUR PRECIOUS RONALD AND HARRY TIED UP AND NAKED ON THE STREET, I DIDN'T DO THAT, THAT'S COURTESY OF THE MALFOY GENTLEMAN, AND FROM WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THEM YOU'RE LUCKY THEY WERE LEFT ALIVE!
Mrs. Black's part of the howler was next, and she had some things to say.
PSYCHOTIC RED-HEADED CRAZY WOMAN. YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK, YOU FED YOUR HUSBAND A FERTILITY POTION WITHOUT HIM KNOWING. YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COME AFTER HERMIOINE. IT'S A DAMN GOOD THING THAT MY SON DIDN'T LEAVE YOUR FAMILY SHIT, YOU DON'T DESERVE HALF THE FAMILY YOU HAVE. YOU DESERVE A STINT IN AZKABAN FOR ALL THE SHIT YOU'VE TRIED TO PULL. YOUR IRRESPONSIBLE SON AND THAT FREAK HE CALLS A FRIEND ARE WORTHLESS. MUCH LIKE YOU. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE LEAVES YOU.
Those around the table at Grimmauld place went silent, until they all tried talking at once.
"Hermione is brain washed mom you know that." Ron was adamant that nothing was ever his fault.
"She's a crazy bint, not you Molly. You've taken care of all of ever since we started at Hogwarts, and this is the way she pays you back?" Harry was fuming. "How am I supposed to get my inheritance now if she's signed the papers at Gringotts?"
"You can't Harry. The house now fully belongs to her. There's nothing you can do." Bill spoke up. "The goblins have already filled the paperwork with the ministry."
"Maybe I can lose the paperwork when I go into work in the morning." Percy as always was a prick and acted like he knew everything. "There's no way it went through all the proper channels. She's just a muggleborn and doesn't understand the process for inheritance."
"Hermione is smarter than you give her credit for Percy. I'm sure there's nothing to be done." Charlie spoke up between mouthfuls of his dinner.
"YOU GAVE ME A FERTILITY POTION WITHOUT ME KNOWING? WHAT OTHER POTIONS HAVE YOU GIVEN ME? ANSWER ME MOLLY?!" Arthur couldn't keep quiet anymore, he jumped to his feet and shoved his chair back.
"Mom you didn't." Fred and George took turns finishing each other's thoughts like always.
"Did you? If so that's not cool." George was shaking his head.
"You've always done right by us mom. I don't see what Hermione's problem is. Her loss if she doesn't want to join the family. Staying in that house must have corrupted her." Ginny would always side with Harry no matter What. She wasn't about to change sides now. Her mom would put a stop to Hermione's nonsense one way or another.
"Molly if you really did give Arthur potions you'll have to come into the DMLE so we can investigate that claim." Kingsley was shocked at the allegations Mrs. Black made.
"You know I wouldn't do such a thing to my lovely husband. I just wanted a little girl. I couldn't help that we had six boys before Ginny." Molly turned towards Kingsley and then Arthur. "I love you. That's just nonsense. I wouldn't give you potions without you knowing."
The atmosphere at the burrow was now heavy. No one could believe that Hermione had spoken to Mrs. Weasley like that. Maybe she needed to get her out of that house. It'd be easier on Harry if Hermione wasn't living in his godfather's house.
Kreacher had heard things and popped over to Grimmauld to let Dobby and Winky know to watch out for the Weasley's. Dobby heard Kreacher pop into the house and came out to see what he wanted.
"Kreacher is here for?" Dobby got right to the point. "You works for Harry, what do you want." Dobby wouldn't let Kreacher pass too far into the house.
"I overheard the Weasley's and Harry talking about your mistress. They wants to steal her inheritance. They thinks she doesn't deserve to live here, and that Mistress Walburga has been a bad influence on her. Kreacher must go now before they realize where he went, and they punish him." Kreacher popped out of the room back to where he came from.
"Mistress does deserve to live her. Dobby will make sure the bad people wont get a things of mistresses." Dobby ran off to find Hermione and let her know. Last he'd seen her she was getting ready to take a relaxing bath.
On his way upstairs, dobby picked up the next letter that had come through the floo. This one was from the Malfoy's. He was going to take it upstairs for Hermione. Handing off the letter to his mistress, he also told her about what Kreacher had told him. "Missy Granger, Kreacher just popped in and let me know that the nasty Weasleys and potter are trying to contest the will. You needs to do something."
"Thank you Dobby." Hermione held out her hand for the letter from the Malfoys.
Opening the letter Lucius's voice filled the room.
Miss Granger.
It was a joy to hear from you. You're very welcome. We would love to visit at your convenience, or you could come to the manor. I'm glad Walburga got a kick out of the prophet. Is it bad to say that we tipped them off, to make the two fools look like well fools?
Lucius Malfoy?
Hermione finished her nice long soak in the tub and got out of it. Grabbing her new wand, she conjured her Otter patronus. She was going to send a message back to the Malfoys.
"How does 10am tomorrow morning for tea sound? You and Draco are keyed into my wards already so you can pop in anytime. Dobby and Winky will be let me know when you've arrived. As it is, I've blocked everyone from my floo but you two, but Molly Weasley was still able to get a howler through to me. Is there any way to block someone completely from the wards of a house. Dumbledore set the wards up and I'm not sure what I'm doing. I would appreciate the
Hermione sent her otter off to Wiltshire and waited to see if they would reply. While she was waiting she went to the library to do some light reading. She picked up the book Wards: How to Set Shem and Sense Them.
Maybe this will help me with my warding issue. She opened the book only to find out that the pages she needed were missing. She had a guess of who had taken them, but she couldn't prove it just yet. She slammed the book shut. I suppose I will have to owl an order form to Flourish and Blotts. I hope they have a copy.
When she put the book down a Dragon patronus came up to her. Draco's voice came out of the Dragon. "10am works perfectly. We can get away from the manor for just a couple of hours but that should be enough time. As for your question we'll we only know of one way and its through blood wards. You'd need a curse breaker to look at the other wards before you attempt any blood magic. We'll see you tomorrow Granger."
Hermione was a tad disappointed when Draco's dragon disappeared, but she supposed she could wait until tomorrow to see them. Hermione took herself off to bed. Each day without Sirius just kept getting more and more depressing and lonely, but at least she had something to look forward to tomorrow. She fell asleep in the rumbled sheets, she knew she'd have to wash them soon, but for now she didn't have the heart. She knew as soon as she would wash the bed sheets that the smell of Sirius would be gone, and that made her sad.
Surprisingly she slept good that night and woke up the next day earlier then she expected. She got dressed and had her breakfast. She wanted to wait in the living room with the floo, but she supposed that would be too desperate. Instead, she sat down in the kitchen and read the morning prophet, There wasn't anything of interest there this morning.
At precisely 10am her floo activated and two very attractive blonde men came through. Dobby had come to get her, while they were dusting off their robes.
"Welcome. If you would like to sit down I'm sure Winky and Dobby would be happy to bring us some tea and some snacks." Hermione was wringing her hands together. She wanted this to go well.
"Thank you Miss Granger." Lucius Malfoy was a silver-tongued devil, and his son wasn't far behind him.
"You're letter said something about warding people out. We had some issues getting through the wards. If Dumbledore set them, I would suggest hiring a curse breaker to take a look at them and then you can go about setting the wards the way you want." Draco took a sip of his tea before adding 4 sugar cubes to it. "I can't help it, I like my tea sweet, like I like my women."
Hermione blushed and took a sip of her tea. The elves had left the tea tray on the table. She didn't know what to say about what Draco said.
"Draco son not so fast. Miss granger doesn't know us that well yet. Give her a chance to get to know you." Lucius eyed his son and then Hermione. Yes, he thought. They would make a wonderful trio if all goes well.
At that moment, Ronald Weasley popped into the house. Hermione had forgotten to ward the fireplace back after the Malfoys had come through.
"Mudblood, why are deatheaters in Harry's house." Ron didn't know when to give up and quit. He pulled his wand on the Malfoys.
"They have been invited Ronald, whereas you haven't. I suggest you leave before you pay for your actions." Hermione had drawn her new wand and pointed it at Ron behind his back.
"I will not leave. They're Deatheaters and you've let them into Harry's House not to mention Headquarters?!" Ron was fuming and he threw a curse which the Malfoys dodged.
The Malfoy men threw a severing curse at Ron's wand arm and took his hand off. "You come into Hermione's house and insult her, not to mention her guests. Now I suggest you leave before we make you. I do believe she said you weren't wanted here." Lucius picked up Ron's wand and his hand and snapped each finger then he snapped the wand.
Hermione opened her floor network and Walburga started hollering through her curtains. "LET ME AT THE CREATIN. THAT PIG WILL BE SORRY HE EVER MESSED WITH HER."
Hermione sent Ron through the floo to St. Mungo's with a detached hand and a broken wand. It was a message to everyone to not mess with he
