Chapter Two
Animus Unus Corpus Duo
The comforting sound of the crackling fire did little to ease the minds of the Order members that resided in the cottage. They all sat in the kitchen, at the long oak dining table. The fire was their only source of light, its orange glow casted shadows onto the walls.
"What is going on with her, Remus; what did you and Severus find out?" asked Molly, as she nervously twirled around a spoon in her cup of tea. Her son Ron stood behind her, looking out of the window. His back was turned to the group and his toned arms were folded across his chest. Turning around briefly, Molly looked at the reflection of her son's face in the window. A jagged scar ran down the right side of his face. His right eye had been fused shut, the eye was useless and he had not wanted it to be replaced with a glass or magical eye.
Molly doubted seeing Hermione in the state she was in was helping his state of mind any. The two of them were practically siblings. They had been raised and taught magic under this very roof. She wished he would say something. He had not spoken since her disappearance two years ago.
"We can't figure out what is wrong with her. She is not under any type of curse. There are no long term potions in her bloodstream. Her magic levels are normal. Her brain waves are normal too. There is no reason for her to be acting like this. It's as if her soul has left and all that is left is an empty, still functioning body," said Remus, running a hand through his graying hair. Nymphadora Tonks sat on his right, and she gently put a hand to his shoulder. Remus resisted the urge to pull away from her touch. He knew she loved him and he cared for her, but not in the same way and her touch did not sooth him. She did not feel right for him; he had no desire to mark her as his mate. Remus had a feeling he had come in contact with his mate before, but no matter how hard he tried he could not remember who she was or where he had met her.
Severus came into the room looking exhausted. "I gave her a sleeping potion and put her to bed. Without being able to see a real Healer, I doubt we will ever know what is wrong with her. Did you report this to Albus yet, Molly?" he asked, as he sat between Lucius and Draco Malfoy.
Molly went to open her mouth to answer him, but Kingsley answered instead. "I Flooed and told him of the situation. He told me he would make it over as soon as the Death Eaters guarding his manor took a nap. They hardly check on him anymore; I am sure it will be easy for him to sneak away."
"Did he have any clue to what may be affecting her?" asked Molly. Her voice was on the edge of hysterical, and it took a lot for her to keep from breaking out in a sob.
Kingsley shook his head. "If he does know, he did not share the information with me. He did, however, seem pensive about her state. He may know something that he is not sharing."
"I would not put it past the old bastard," said Lucius, with heavy disdain in his voice.
"I would appreciate it, Lucius, if you did not bad mouth Albus in my presence," said Molly softly, but her tone was clear. Lucius inclined his head towards her, showing that he understood.
"Perhaps she has been conditioned to act this way?" suggested Draco.
"What do you mean, Draco?" asked Severus.
"I mean, perhaps she was brainwashed to act a certain way and this was how she was told to act. It's the only thing I can think of that would make her act like this, with nothing else possible." He sat back in his chair and turned his head to look at the fire. He seemed lost in thought and also worried about Hermione. They had, after all, been taught magic together. He was the first one she had spoken to after she had been brought to the cottage. His cheeks flushed with color: she had also been his first kiss. It had been in the garden out back when they were twelve. Whoever did this to her would pay with their life. He had never told her, but she was the love of his life. He, Hermione, and Ron had all been best friends. Ron and his relationship had suffered after she had disappeared that winter morning.
Before anyone could theorize anymore on what could have happened to Hermione. A spine jolting scream echoed throughout the house ‒ it came from her room. Everyone quickly stood and grabbed their wands. They raced to her room. She was sitting straight up in the bed muttering something. Her dull, empty eyes were still looking at nothing.
Both Remus and Severus went to her side to look at her. The scanned her for injuries and found none. Remus, even with his acute hearing, had to lean into her to understand what she was saying. "She is saying 'RevertoAnimus.'" Remus wished he could remember his Latin lessons better at that point.
"Soul return," said a voice from behind the group of people that were jammed in the doorway of her room. Several people almost jumped out of their skins; they had not heard the man sneak up on them.
"Albus!" exclaimed Molly as she put a hand on her chest out of fright. "We were not expecting you for another hour or so."
Dumbledore inclined his head. "Yes, well, I saw my chance to get away for a few hours and took it. I also came to bring this to you," He held up a letter in his old wrinkled hand. "It may explain Miss Granger's condition. However, if what she says in her letter is correct, then she will be returning soon, most likely any moment now. The soul transfer has begun."
As if she had heard him, Hermione took in a big gasp of air and her eyes became filled with intelligence. She looked around wide-eyed for a moment. Her eyes scanned over the people in the room before they landed on Remus and Severus. "I made it back," she whispered. She relaxed visibly at seeing them and promptly fell back into her pillow. Sleep had overtaken her body in instant. There was nothing she could have done to fight it off.
Without thinking, Remus pushed a piece of fallen hair behind her ear. He looked shocked by his own action. This subtle, but kind, gesture did not go unnoticed by everyone. "I think you should tell us what is going on, Albus," said Severus. His eyes had not left the girl that now slept soundly for the first time in only Merlin knew when.
"Yes, I suppose I should. Come, we will go have some tea and let the girl rest. She should be asleep for at least a day. Soul transfer is not easy, especially when you are coming from twenty-four years in the past."
