Hermione sat across from Draco looking very sour indeed while he and Harry roared with laughter. She had been stupid (and bored) enough to play a game of wizards chess with Draco and, as expected, he had beaten her horribly. She wasn’t sure why, but she had expected him to win gracefully, he was however a Slytherin and was reminding her that she was a loser. The players that she had used were putting themselves back together and a few were making rude hand gestures and swearing at her.
“I shouldn’t have played” She mumbled.
“Oh Hermione” Harry laughed “You always did hate to lose but I think it’s good for you”
“Shut up” She answered “This game is stupid!”
“It’s not stupid” Draco answered “It’s about strategy, being able to look ahead and foresee the moves that the opponent will make before it’s made”
“Then why am I not good at it?” Hermione huffed.
“Hermione” Harry said in exasperation “You quit Divination because you thought that Professor Trelawney was a complete quack”
“She was” Hermione and Draco said at the same time.
“But” Hermione said “That doesn’t explain why I’m not good at wizards chess”
“You think that anything that involves looking in to the…” Harry looked uncomfortable for a minute “Beyond is stupid and you don’t want anything to do with it, so the thought that you would play a game about being able to foresee in the future, even if just the next move, is laughable” Hermione pouted “Ron is great at chess”
“The Weasel?” Malfoy asked in shock “Good at something?”
“He was” Hermione said sullenly “Could always make plans even weeks in advance, he really helped us when we were bouncing around the countryside”
“Strategy?” Draco asked “So…he could plan…say…a break in?”
“Oh yeah” Harry said as Hermione turned her eyes to the blonde man “When we broke in to Gringotts he planned the whole thing with a little help from both of us…why?”
“Well” Draco looked at Hermione and raised his eyebrows “Hermione and I thought that one of the people responsible for what happened at the hospital was strategic, obviously but one would have to be a Gryffindor and close to Hermione at that”
“You think that it’s Ron?” Harry asked “But…”
“HARRY!” Ginny came bursting through the door “I am so happy to finally be able to visit, I have missed you so much”
“Ginny?” Harry said opening his arms to her and hugging her tightly “What are you doing here?”
“There was a charity game in Ireland” She answered “Chudley Cannons and the Holy-Head Harpies, raising money for research at Saint Mungo’s for what’s happened in the mental ward”
“Oh” Harry said “How long have you been around here?”
“We were only called in after whatever happened at the hospital” Ginny said “It was to help the hospital raise the funds to help all those affected by the horrible potion” She took Harry’s hand “Come welcome me home properly”
Hermione looked over at Draco thoughtfully and bit her lip. He looked positively livid at seeing the attractive redhead come in to the apartment and his face only darkened from there. She stood and sat down on his lap effectively stealing back his attention and frowning slightly at him before lowering her head to his shoulder, if the Chudley Cannons were in town that would mean that Ron was in town as well. She raised her head and stood suddenly up walking to the perch next to the window and the owl there. She scribbled out a note and sent it out then she paced and awaited the answer that came a few minutes later. She read it and turned abruptly back to Draco holding the note up and laughing softly.
“What is it?” He asked.
“She lied” Hermione answered “Ginny lied”
“About what?” He asked, stepping closer to her.
“She said that her team and Ron’s team came back only when asked by the hospital” Hermione said “But the papers…no one knew about the potion they only knew that the mental ward was attacked…but she knew!”
“So?” Draco said “Maybe Weasel said something”
“I thought that was a possibility too” Hermione said “So I wrote a note to Molly and asked how long Ginny had visited”
“What does that have to do with anything?” He asked pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Because” Hermione explained “She never visits her mother and father first, she always came here and her and Harry would do whatever it was they wanted to do and I would write to Molly to find out when she visited, she would say that she didn’t and I would insist that Ginny visit, it was like a game”
“So…what’s changed?” He asked.
“Molly wrote back and said that Ginny had been visiting her for the last two and a half weeks” Hermione said “That is about a week before the ward was attacked, she told Molly that she and Harry were taking a break and that was why she was staying at the burrow”
“Should we tell Potter tomorrow?” Draco asked and received a smirk worthy of any Malfoy.
“I think we should tell him now” She answered, then she took his hand and led him to Harry’s bedroom and leaned her head towards the door listening closely to the conversation on the other side.
“Harry” Ginny was saying “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing” He answered “Why?”
“Well” Ginny laughed thinly “I kind of need you hard to have sex…and you’re not” Hermione could hear the pout in her voice “So, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing” He answered again, Hermione could hear him moving around on the bed and could actually hear him getting frustrated with himself “Work, that’s all”
“Work?” She repeated with venom in her voice “All you do is sit behind a desk and write out memo’s…I on the other hand am playing Quidditch…you remember what that is right?” Draco’s jaw twitched in anger “You used to play and actually be pretty good but then you decided to feed the need to play hero yet again and became an Auror”
“Ginny” Hermione said opening the door, she found Harry sitting on the bed looking small and hurt “How is your relationship with Harry?”
“Not that this is the time to talk about it” Ginny said turning to look at Hermione and Draco who were standing in the doorway “But it’s going very well, thank you”
“Funny” Hermione said “That’s not what you told your mother when you were staying with her for the last couple weeks”
“I…” She started.
“I also find it funny that you knew about the potion that had been given to the patients in my ward” Hermione said “When it was never published”
“They told us…” She said looking all around the room for an escape but as Hermione moved closer, Draco stood in the doorway and now Harry was standing as well.
“Why would they do that?” Hermione asked “Because you’re a Quidditch player?” She laughed meanly “No, there is no reason for you to know and you wouldn’t have known…but you were there, weren’t you?” Ginny’s eyes swept from right to left, from Harry to Hermione then landed on Draco and back again. She looked like a trapped animal and she was starting to breathe heavily and her hands were shaking.
“I heard about your relationship, Hermione” Ginny said coldly “Fucking Professor Snape in a mental ward?” She laughed nastily “What the little whore you are, going for married men now that he’s in a coma?”
“Why would you do something so disgusting?” Hermione asked.
“Snape had to pay for the horrors he inflicted on his students!” Ginny snarled before she launched herself at Hermione.
She grabbed Hermione’s curly hair and started to shake her head side to side, nearly snapping her neck off of her shoulders. Hermione shot out her fist and made contact with her ribs hearing the girl gasp in pain and her hands fell away from Hermione. She reached for her wand while Ginny tried to regain her breath, when the redhead raised her eyes to find Hermione again she found herself staring at the end of a wand. Ginny looked away from Hermione to Draco who was still standing in the doorway while pointing his wand at her and Harry who was also holding her at wand point.
“You have nothing against me” She said “I won’t speak anymore”
“Good” Hermione said “It’ll be quieter”
“Ginerva Weasley” Harry said, casting a spell to lock her wrists together then handed Hermione her wand “You will be brought to the Ministry to be passed over to the custody of Azkaban Prison and now the charges will be read to you” He pulled her so that she was looking at him “The attempted murder of five members of Wizarding society”
“SCUM!” Ginny screamed.
“The attempted removal of magic by force” Harry continued “Two counts of administering illegal potions, illegally entering a secured hospital ward after hours, impersonating medical staff and illegally administering medical potions”
“That’s a lot” Hermione said “That’s…” She looked at Draco and shrugged “About thirty maybe forty years in prison?”
“About” He answered nodding at her.
“Let’s go” Harry said coldly, when he walked by Hermione he looked at her sadly, she knew that this was breaking his heart and she squeezed his shoulder. When he walked by Draco the blonde man frowned sadly at him and ran his hand gently down his cheek but let him pass without saying anything to him. They Floo’d out of the apartment and straight to the ministry for her to be booked. Miles and miles away, in a carefully secured ward, tucked away in a bed with plain white blanket, with his black hair splayed over a white pillow-cased pillow laid Severus Snape. His breathing was even, his eyes were moving and to the innocent onlookers he was simply having a nice rest. But he was just like the others in that room, in a coma and there was a young healer changing the overly cheerful flowers near his bed. She gasped and ran for the other healers when suddenly the man that had been unchanging and in a coma that morning gasped loudly and his eyes opened wide.
