Answers and Questions
After making sure Hermione was properly settled did Harry and Molly move down to the kitchen area. "Kreacher!" Harry called out and within seconds the house elf appeared. "Master Potter?" He asked with cautious eyes. "Please could you take us to the Professors?" Kreacher began to mumble about Misses Muddyborn and her instruction. "Kreacher, why don't you ask the professors if they believe it is acceptable to speak, we will promise not to touch Hermione's things. I asked not to hurt her wards" Kreacher hummed "Youes wouldn't break Misses wards, strong, strong witch." Then pop he was gone.
"Harry, who are these professors? Could we just floo to Hogwarts?" Molly asked. Harry gave a gentle smile and told her to just wait. Kreacher appeared once again and grabbed their hands before they could speak. "Mrs Flamed haired Demon and Master Potter" was announced, Kreacher gave a quick bow and popped away. Molly turned to the area in which Kreacher bowed to be greeted by Albus Dumbledor and Severus snape.
"Please sit Molly." Albus gestured to the two Armchairs in front of the portraits. Clearly in shock Harry jostled Molly into a seat and looked up to the Portraits. "Thank you for agreeing to speak with us Albus, Professor Snape." Harry greeted his former professor. "Well, let's get this over with." Severus started. "What is it you would like to know?" Harry began first. "Molly sensed that Hermione's magic is leaky." Before he could continue Albus interrupted "how wonderfully Molly, you have magically imprinted Hermione as your own." Molly was brought to reality. "Are you serious? Of course I did, I have known that girl so long she is mine, she saved my fred and tried her hardest to save my percy almost killing herself. Of course she is mine as I am hers." Severus sighed "well at least we know you don't blame her. Mr Potter why don't you continue?"
"Well not only is her magic leaking, the accidental magic is worrying. She basically caused a minor earthquake in the house earlier. She weighs next to nothing and she is over worked and has no social life." Harry paused "we were wondering if you had any insight?" Severus scoffed under his breath "took you long enough." Albus smiled "The accidental magic is because of a massive increase in her magical power, highly uncommon as most magical power develops naturally and it is cared and looked after, because Hermione has been allowing herself to come to waste surviving on tea, biscuits and potions her body is not coping. Her eating issues are not for lack of wanting to eat but due to not eating and allow yourself and Mr Weasley to eat whilst on the hunt for horcruxes. There was never enough food so she lied about eating. Only eating when she was truly, truly desperate. It could be fixed but Kreacher is undersure how to make meals to help her."
Severus steps in. "I believe the best option is to start with broths, soups and porridge in future before progressing to more hearty meals. Mrs Weasley I believe you know what to do. The only way to test for leaking magic is through the mysteries. I have ways of contacting a rather private and low profile mystery who could offer assistance. If you are correct you must contact Ollivander she will need a new wand. Most likely something completely unyielding. The accidental magic is because her magic is seeping into every ward she is near. Most likely because of the mark of Hogwarts."
At this Molly gasped, and began to stutter "that is unheard of no one has received the mark since well, The Founders." Harry was completely confused by the current topic and had no knowledge of this mark. "McGonagall confirmed it about 4 weeks ago, The foundational rights of Hogwarts only ever contained the founders' names. Now it contains one Hermione Granger." Albus continued on. "She has no clue of the new power she has received. I am surprised she hasn't burnt up from the excessive magic increase. It is not unheard of."
"So is this everything," Harry hoped it was as simple as getting her a new wand and a mentor but it was not. "Hermione is obviously suffering from PTSD and depression as well as lack of sleep, probably vitamin D deficiency and many other issues. Night terrors, panic attacks, anxiety attacks. How in the hell she hasn't tried to take her life, I will never know." Severus paused "that's about your lot." Harry and Molly looked at each other before contemplating what to do next. "What would happen if I tried moving her to the borrow?" Molly wanted solutions. "It would not work, until she has reconciled herself internally. She will have too much PTSD from those you have lost Mrs Weasley." More time was discussing solutions, yet none were found. "How about we start simple, Severus could you contact your friend?" Harry posed. "If her wand is the probably we can look to stabilize her magic. I am sure it may cause some emotional damage too." Severus nodded and left his frame.
"Harry, I have decided I will be moving in when Hermione stays, I will speak to McGonagall about moving to the castle when Hermione is there too. That way I can make sure she is not over doing it. And I will be there to help her through her internal battles." Harry agreed and Albus decided it was a wonderful plan for now. Molly gave her farewells and said she would go home to speak to Arthur and would return later with some of her things.
Harry sat in quite before sharing his thoughts with Albus. "I think this is worse than the war, I can't lose her too." Albus nodded "This is still war, it's just the price of war, Harry. It may take a lifetime but I am sure you can agree Hermione is well worth it." Harry could only hum in agreement. A small ring could be heard from the portrait and Albus explained he was being called to his portrait in Gringotts. "I will return in the morning, I am sure Hermione will be down in the morning.
It was the wee hours of the morning when Hermione would. Casting a Tempus and deciding that it was appropriate to raise. By the time she got to the Basement office it was 6.30am. "Good Morning." She bid quietly to the two gentlemen in the Portraits. Her eyes were visibly puffy and her face flush. "Miss Granger the goblins have requested your presence this afternoon at 1.30pm to go over the quarterly account figures. They would like to discuss some re-warding of some of their back office areas." Hermione nodded her thanks to Albus and set to her ledger. She had multiple copies of the one she gave to Shacklebolt, the one in her office at Hogwarts and the ledger here. They could only be altered by herself and seen by Shacklebolt and herself. She was currently creating ledgers for the Goblins bank holiday as a gift. However If the bank was closed they would always give her access.
Just before 7.30am she heard a pop and looked over to see Kreacher and Mrs Weasley, one holding a teapot and the other a tray. "Misses Muddyblood, Mrses Flame haired demon insisted I bring her with me, she ruines my kitchen." He spoke before setting the teapot and mug and popping away. "Mrs Weasley? I thought you would have left." Molly walked over setting the tray down and patting Hermione's shoulder. "Molly or mum remember, I have decided to stay with you for a while Hermione. You need me." Guilt filled Hermione. "Please Mrs Weasley, I will be fine. And you have your family to look after." tutting at Hermione "I do have a family to look after, which you are a member of, Arthur can make his own breakfast, I'll pop home in the day for a few hours to make sure the household spells are working. They can survive on their own. But you are wasting away." Hermione knew she couldn't argue with Molly.
"Now eat, myself and Severus spent a long time making you a meal plan." Hermione stared at her watery porridge before cracking a small smile, imaging Mrs Weasley and Severus Snape working together. For the first time since before the war she managed to eat three quarters of her breakfast and not throw up. At 9am Harry wandered down to the basement to find Hermione making ledgers and Molly organising parchment. "Quiet the team I see." Molly burst into the smile. "Severus snape had to be the most ingenious man I knew without ever knowing." As she began to read through Parchment and sort them again. Severus wore a silent smirk from his portrait. "Hermione, you will have a visitor in about an hour." Harry started walking over to see what Hermione was doing. "A visitor, I think I have had enough visitors for a lifetime. Maybe next week." Harry exhaled. "It is someone you don't know, they are coming to help." Deciding not to go into details Hermione agreed as long as she met them in the basement and the Portraits were disillusioned.
