Chapter 13 : Explanations and first spells
The pupils were coming in the castle, all scared, some hurt, because they have suffered the Death Eaters� hexes. When Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny came in, they didn�t notice Professor Hooch�s extremely eased expression. Indeed, she had been appointed to keep watch over the returning pupils and to note their names as soon as they arrived to make sure that all had come back. At once, she motioned to Fawkes who was patiently waiting, and he disappeared immediately.
Dumbledore, who had also come down to Hogsmeade, saw Fawkes join him with relief, while they were tracking down the last Death Eaters with Professors McGonagall, Gryffin and Severus.
�They are safe, all four of them,� he said them simply.
All felt the same relief : now, it wasn�t only Harry they need to keep alive a little more than other pupils, but also Hermione.
They finished checking that no pupil was still in Hogsmeade before returning to the castle to reinforce the defences and talk in the Headmaster�s office, but not before they made sure all students were inside the castle and had received first aid.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
�You did arrive quickly to the village,� noticed quietly Dumbledore speaking to Severus and Professor Gryffin.
�True,� answered Gryffin, �we have got round the ban on apparating in Hogwarts using our Lendoren magic. Only Lendorens can do that, which implies that no Death Eaters can do it, I hope it reassures you.�
�Can miss Granger do it?�
�She will be able to. If she can do it now, only Severus is able to answer this question,� said Gryffin turning towards him.
�I have no idea for the time being Arlin. The only thing revealed just today was out of fear, she was able at last to get in touch with me by telepathy. And with such strength that it still resounds in my head,� he added with a grimace. �I have the impression that she is still acquiring her power, and can�t yet master her magic.�
�But Severus, it�s been three months since she became a Lendoren,� declared Arlin, �a Lendoren has never taken so much time to acquire their power!�
� And a Lendoren has never been as powerful as me, you did say it, Arlin, � replied Severus. �So, you can�t say how much time she needs!�
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were looking at them without understanding. Gryffin explained them, after having thought about it for some time.
�Lendoren women have as a rule better magic power than their companion. During the first weeks, they acquire an important part of their power. They acquire the whole after nine months. They are normally able to form the telepathic link with their companion quickly, in fact, five or six weeks are enough mostly, as soon as they have acquired the biggest part of their power, I would say. It seemed that Hermione is just reaching this stage. Thus, she will just be acquiring the capacity of using the Lendoren magic, helped by Severus� tact and dexterous guidance of course.�
His voice was ironic at the end, and this caused Severus to look daggers at him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
During the meal, which had been troubled by memories of the attack in Hogsmeade, Dumbledore had spoken :
�In view of this afternoon�s events, I have to cancel all future outings planned in Hogsmeade. However, I want you to continue your studies with serenity, so know that Death Eaters can�t trespass in the castle, nor in the park, so you will be here in an absolute safety.�
Hermione was pondering the events. She had admitted to the others that she had called Erwin for help when she had seen so many Death Eaters, and she was happy to manage it, but she had also admitted her disappointment when he had more or less confirmed to her that he was in Hogsmeade and that he didn�t want to see her, according to her. Certainly, he had obviously alerted the teachers, especially Professor Gryffin, in her opinion. They must have means of communication between Lendorens. It wasn�t astonishing that Professor Snape was with Professor Gryffin, he wasn�t so far when Death Eaters were near.
Ginny didn�t know what to say to Hermione, neither did she understand her companion�s behaviour; maybe he had something to hide.
Ron and Harry worried about the fact that the village wasn�t safe anymore. They were disappointed to no longer have authorization for going there, but honestly, if twenty Death Eaters were to encircle them�And there had been no hint today about Voldemort. They didn�t dare to think about what would have happened if Hermione hadn�t been able to contact her companion. They have clearly noticed that Hermione�s Stunning spells seemed shinier than theirs, but they were badly off when Snape and Gryffin arrived.
After dinner, Hermione was worried. Erwin hadn�t contacted her yet. She finished her homework with Ron and Harry all the same. That is to say she did hers and then she corrected theirs, before going back to her rooms.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Severus decided to try not to divulge everything to Hermione. He didn�t know why, he felt that he should still wait, even if physically it was becoming a torture. The more he saw her, talked with her during evenings or cuddled her in their spiritual clearing, the more he was tempted to climb up the two levels which separated him from her flat, her bedroom precisely, and make love to her all night. And to hell with the lessons of the next day which must be taught or learned!
She was the one who contacted him this time, and she used a more pleasant sound level than before:
�Erwin ?�
�I�m here, my heart, are you safe ?�
�It would be astonishing if you weren�t aware. It seemed that you can easily communicate with Professor Gryffin,� she said bitterly.
�Yes, it�s true�, he sighed, �I have a very close relationship with the castle and the teachers. And yes, I was in Hogsmeade this afternoon, although it wasn�t planned. It�s the reason,� he continued more firmly,� why I couldn�t suggest you that we meet.�
�At least,� thought Severus, �she won�t be able to blame me later for a blatant lie. But if it comes to about the lying by omission, I�m certainly more than borderline.�
�May we try to improve your magic, Hermione ? Now that you can contact me, maybe you will manage more easily.�
�You�re certainly not eager to talk about yourself, Erwin,� commented Hermione. �You know perfectly how to make me talk about me, about what I do or not, but what about you? For instance, what is your job ?�
�Dangerous ground�, whimpered inwardly Severus, �why, oh why is she always so curious ?�
They liked the same things, they often share similar opinions, even if Severus consistently played devil�s advocate, just for the pleasure to see where she could lead her argumentation, so why shouldn�t she ask this question?
He decided to be obliquely honest:
�I�m currently dedicated to a job Arlin asked of me some time ago. I�m not that much enchanted about it, but it seems to be indispensable.�
�At least, I have begun to recognize when you doesn�t want to answer a question!�
�My sweet,� and he added in his voice a very gentle mental caress, � I promise you that a time of clear answers will come, but not straight off. Let us time to know each other like this.�
She didn�t answer, and he knew that she was sulking. In those situations, whatever his arguments were, he wouldn�t make her talk anymore on the topic at hand.
They cast Lendoren magic instead, and Hermione won her first achievements: she could invoke a very weak shield of a different nature than a Protego around her without a wand. Indeed this shield made her unseen by the people around her, or so Severus explained to her. She also succeeded in creating a little bonfire, which wouldn�t burn the one who had conjured it. Of course, for the time being, her fire would have sorely lighted a candle, but it was a beginning. She felt that Erwin was happy about her progresses. A cheerfulness that he hurried to communicate, when he took them in the clearing the same night.
The next days and weeks, Hermione was making strides to master her magic, her shield became very correct, according to what Severus could judge, she began to master not only fire, but also water and air. Earth was more of a problem because Severus had to limit her field of action, he didn�t want Hogwarts to be swayed by the first seism of its history�
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The first one to be confronted with this new power of her was the ferret, who, shortly before Christmas, managed to meet her alone in a corridor with Crabbe and Goyle. As soon as he had seen that, he hurried to disarm her by an Expelliarmus before towering above her and taunting her for he was now taller than her.
�So Granger, you are less proud now that you don�t have your precious wand,� he said sardonically, holding it between both fingers. �And� what if we played a little with her, boys ?�
Hermione was paralysed, the gleam she could see in his eyes foreboded no good, but she made herself answer to him:
�Since when do Pure-Bloods enjoy playing with Muggleborns?�
�Since they can, Granger, since they can. Crucio!�
Hermione fell on the floor from the intensity of the pain. She only wished that Malfoy and his sidekicks were far from her. As soon as she expressed this wish, the three boys took off as if an invisible hand had caught them by the collar and they were roughly cast to the opposite walls. Knocked out.
Thanks again for those who so far have followed and/or review the story

Thanks to you, faithful readers, especially to Jeni and Megan Consoer.

I've tried babelfish, Jeni, but I had to rewrite nearly everything. It's good to understand the global meaning of a page, but not good enough for a proper translation
