Chapter 11

Outside Hermione's room, their stood Severus with his arms crossed against his chest. He watched her through the window. For four days, she still was situated in the farthest corner.

It was just passed lunch time, and thankfully she ate somewhat—fish and chips, which was something Lucius and her had during movie times in their little game. Every day, he got a call from Lucius narrating to him, some sort of special meal, so that he could tell it tell to Hermione, along with the food that he brought. If it wasn't him, it was Remus, as they both handled their respective shifts. Still, she didn't say anything that he wanted to hear. But he did notice that she didn't call for Lucius so much as the first day. Poppy said that it was something positive—a sign of gaining her trust.

Hermione was fast asleep. Her face slightly exposed from beneath the robe as her head lay atop a pillow as she hugged it like she was hugging someone. No doubt, she imagined it was Lucius. Just the other day, he watched her get another one of his shirts from the bag he left in the room. And then, she slipped the shirt on the pillow, making the pillow wear the shirt. The pillow became another object of Lucius.

Severus ground his teeth as he tightened his jaw. He was more than worried as he looked at the wall clock at the healer's station. He had a gut feeling that all hell was going to break lose at any moment.

Kingsley stood behind the podium at the lobby of the Ministry, seeing a sea of people standing in front of him. A lot of them from the press, and one of them seated in front of everyone else, Rita Skeeter. Aside from them, he could clearly see angry faces amongst the crowd. Behind him stood Minerva, Arthur and Remus. Not only did the people in the room stand silent, but also the people of the entire British Wizarding World.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," he started as he addressed the people. "For the past two weeks or so, I'm sure that all of you had question involving the release of Hermione Granger. I stand here today, to explain to you the reasons of her release and the answers to your questions.

"The evidence that has been found was a letter from the late and great Albus Dumbledore. It was only recently found by the Headmistress of Hogwarts after rummaging through some of his things for the first time. The letter explains the situation that Hermione Granger was put in. like one of our heroes, Severus Snape, she agreed to become a double spy, having to work much deeper than Snape. Because of her situation, it was kept secret from all of us, and just kept between both parties. And in addition to that, she wasn't allowed to tell anyone else about the situation and was bound to it by the Unbreakable Vow."

"And what about the vow she took to protect the people when she joined the Order?" an angry voice shouted from the crowd.

Kingsley knew the voice, as it sounded all too familiar. He faced the direction of the voice, and behind the crowd, not far from the entrance doors stood Ronald Weasley.

"He has a point," Skeeter said in agreement.

"The vows taken when joining the Order, were to protect the people at any cost to win the war. Sacrifices were made, and these sacrifices allowed us to win the war," Kingsley answered.

"At the cost of lives?" questioned back.

This time, Kingsley did ignore the question and continued on with his speech. "For the time being, she is now in confinement in St. Mungo's, due to injuries caused by the former warden and his guards. Due to the stature of this injuries, charges have been made against them, and they will soon be serving their own time in Azkaban.

"Let it also be known that Lucius Malfoy will be the star witness in the case, as he has aided her numerous times in her time of need. I will also inform you all that because of his aid towards her, his punishment for his sentencing will be lessened, but with regards to how much, that I haven't decided on yet."

Minvera tapped and his shoulder, wanting to speak as well. "Albus Dumbledore like many of you, wanted nothing more than to win the war. Yes, sacrifices were made, and those sacrifices allow us to be standing here free from Voldemort, free from fear."

"Free from fear?" Skeeter scoffed. "And what exactly are these charges caused by the former warden? If it involves punishment of prisoners and Miss Granger, then I must say that these charges be dropped. Any punishment towards prisoners is a punishment deserved," she voiced out.

"Murderer!" Ron shouted.

The crowd roared in agreement, starting to cause chaos. Soon, they started the throw things towards the direction of the podium. Remus, being as quick as he was, quickly pulled his robes up as he wrapped an arm around Minerva, pulling her towards him, and shielding them with his robes. If he was a split second slower, the poor witch would've been hit with a rotten pumpkin pastry straight to her face.

Kingsley and Arthur pulled out their wands and formed a shield around the four of them. As aurors tried to calm the crowd down, they managed to sneak out without getting hit.

"I knew a lot of the people were touchy about Hermione's release, but I never realized how so, until now," Kingsley, commented as he stood behind his desk. Minerva took a seat across from him, while the other two wizards remained standing at her side.

"I can't say I agree with you more," Arthur responded.

"You know if Harry was on our side, things would be a whole lot more different. The people listen to him, and they follow him without question." Remus sighed, shaking his head. "I just really wish he was on our side now. We need him… Hermione needs him. Without him, she will continue being the death eater that people believe her to be."

"Have you tried to coerce him even more?" Minerva questioned him.

"I tried to this morning," Remus replied. "But once I got to his place, I noticed that he and Ginny were all packed. He said they needed a long vacation from everything, and had enough of Hermione this and Hermione that."

"I swear, I want to knock some sense into Ronald!" Arthur said lowly. He told his whole family to not say anything or voice out their opinions about Hermione. Even if they all hated him, they all listened, except for Ron. He wasn't surprised though. Out of all of his children, he was the most rebellious and short fused one.

"Well, there's nothing else we can do, but then start on Hermione's case," Kingsley said in defeat.

Hermione looked at the window near the door of her room, and noticed that the man in black was gone. She rememberd that he introduced himself to her several times as Professor Snape, but the name didn't ring a bell. But it seemed that he knew her Lucius. And she wondered all the more when she would see Lucius again. Despite being wrapped in his clothes, she missed him more, and needed him more as the days without him passed. Could she trust this Professor Snape and talk to him? She wasn't so sure.

"Hermione!" a male voice said aloud as it walked into her room, slamming the door.

She stiffened immediately, as it was a different voice that she couldn't recognize. Over the past two weeks, she could tell the different voices of her regular visitors, and this one was new.

"There you are!" Ron growled, seeing her on the floor. "You shouldn't be out of Azkaban, you bitch!" He went at her quickly, and pulled her up roughly, pinning her against the wall. His hand went to her throat, choking her.

"Lucius!" she gasped as she fought against him. But he was too strong. He was going to hurt her, he was going to rape her. Soon enough, tears of fear started to come from her eyes like a waterfall. "Lucius!"

"Go ahead, Hermione, try and scream for help," Ron growled in anger, his tomato red face a scant inch away from hers. "What? Calling out to your death eater friend? He can't hear you. He's in Azkaban where you should be."

"No hurt. No, no," she pleaded, praying that he wouldn't hurt her.

"Hurt you?" he snorted. "And why not? You killed my brother." He pulled her neck back slightly, only to push it back against the wall, banging her head. "I should do more than hurt you. Kill you maybe, but no. You should be tortured." Ron smirked evilly at her, as a thought came. "I'm pretty sure you didn't get laid in Azkaban. Are you still a virgin? Maybe I should fuck the living shit out of you." Before he could continue on and slap her cheek, he felt himself get pulled roughly away from her and out of the room. He was tried to struggle against the hold, and fight against the person who was holding him, but couldn't for he was outmatched by the other persons strength.

"Weasley!" Severus growled as the pulled him out of the room, slamming him face down on the cold floor, before turning him to make him face him. "What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" he spat, his face inches away from the tomato red one. He heard that last words that the young Weasley said. "For threatening her like that, you know you could be the one sentenced to Azkaban. Even if it's just a short time, I'm sure you'd be raped in no time—a sissy like you."

"Fuck you!" Ron spat back. "I can see right through you. You're a death eater, just like anyone of them!"

"Security is here," a female healer said as she stood with a handful of security guards nearby.

Severus roughly pulled Ron by his collar as he stood on his feet. With his face barely an inch away from his, he lowly said in warning, "You come within fifty feet of Hermione again, be afraid."

"Oh, it's Hermione now is it?" Ron questioned.

Severus didn't say anything, and just allowed the guards to take him away. He couldn't believe that he was gone for awhile to use the facilities in the comfort room, letting his guard down, letting Hermione down.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop him right away," the female healer explained. "He just walked right past me—"

Severus ignored her and stepped into Hermione's room to check on her. Her back was towards him, as she lay on the floor in a fetal position. He could see that she was shaking. For a moment he wondered why she was silent and not calling for Lucius like she did before so many times. "Hermione?" he called to her as he approached her slowly.

"She seems to have wet herself in fear," the healer stated, noticing the small puddle of yellow that had formed around Hermione's lower body. With her wand ready to clean up the mess and the patient, she turned Hermione on her back slowly only to notice that something else was wrong.

Not only was Hermione's lower body wet from her own urine, but her entire body was also soaked through, but with cold sweat. Hermione was shaking, her breathing very quick and shallow. "Miss Granger!" she said as she cupped her face to look directly at her. But she was unresponsive.

"What wrong?" Severus asked as he quickly went to his knees.

The healer put the wand to the side of her neck and said, "Code Blue!"
