Hermione took the lift down to her floor and then made her way to the locker room and placed all her stuff, including her personal wand in her locker and placed wandless ward over it. She walked to the showers and scrubbed her body and hair, then she and a few other Healers that had come in minutes after her all walked out. She dressed in a cotton, wireless bra and cotton panties, then put on yoga pants on and a tank top before putting her light blue apprentice robes on over them. She stepped in front of the mirror and brushed her hair back and up in to a tight, high bun with no hair hanging down. She put on a little lip stick and light eye make-up, then she blow-dried her hair even though it was up before stepping out and through the spell that checked them for weapons or wires.
“Here’s your wand” The floors security guard said handing her a white work wand. It was a product that Fred and George had made and perfected before selling it to the hospital and prison. The wand worked only in the hand of the person who had a special spell cast on them and no matter whose hand it was in if the wand left the Mental Ward it stopped working altogether.
“Thank you” Hermione said “Is Bridget in?”
“She’s in her office” He said “But she’s in a meeting, she said that she wanted you to just do whatever it was that you were going to do and that you guys can go over anything over lunch”
“Thank you” She said again and walked through the big double doors and through the ward that kept the patients in. She walked to the healers station where the night crew was just going over some last minute paperwork.
“Morning” She greeted “Is there anything I should be aware of?”
“Lucius Malfoy didn’t sleep last night” Healer Minks said reading from her report “He refused to take a dreamless sleep potion and the calming potion seems to have no effect on him. He screamed most of the night and when he wasn’t screaming he was calling for his son and accusing us of holding him hostage”
“When was the last check made?” Hermione asked.
“Four hours ago” She answered “He was sitting in the corner muttering unintelligibly to himself”
“Anything else?” She asked.
“Severus Snape woke up from his catatonia that lasted only two weeks this time. He wrote out that he was hungry, we had to regrow three of Theo’s teeth after Snape hit him when his arms were freed and then bit Naomi when she was feeding him”
“How bad was the bite?” Hermione asked making a note in her notebook.
“Twenty-three magical stitches” She answered “We had to use the magical stitches so there wouldn’t be any scars, he bit her so hard that we had to tear her arm from his mouth and ended up shredding a good amount of her skin” She sniffed a little “Naomi is transferring to morning shift and if it doesn’t work out that way she will transfer to a different area altogether”
“I’m sorry to hear that” Hermione said “How is Bellatrix LeStrange?”
“She is normal” The woman answered “Still sleeping and was calling out ‘my lord’ in her sleep”
“Sounds about normal” Hermione said.
She did a quick scan of the nightly report in case she forgot something before setting off down the hallway towards Lucius Malfoy’s room. This was why she enjoyed working in the Mental Ward, they let her have run of the floor, no one was telling her that she wasn’t good enough and they respected her here and plus she really felt like she was helping others. She knocked on his door and then opened it poking her head in with her wand at the ready. Lucius wasn’t dangerous per say but sometimes when he was dreaming he could be.
“Good morning” She said, Lucius was sitting on his bed with his knees pulled against his chest and his chin sitting on them watching her wearily “How are you?”
“Where’s Draco?” He asked “What have you done to him?” He was panting “He’s just a boy”
“Draco is working in his office at the Ministry, Lucius” She told him “It’s been four and a half years since the end of the war, remember?”
“Miss Granger!” He looked all around the room and ran to her, she tightened her grip on her wand but made no move to take it out and point it at him “You need to go, need to leave before you-know-who shows up!”
“Lucius” She helped him go back to his bed “The dark lord is dead and gone, Harry Potter won and the world is free” She took his hand and smiled at him “You look so tired, don’t you think that you should get some sleep?”
“The dark lord will invade my dreams again” He whispered to her and looked around awaiting the man to come out of the walls.
“He can’t” Hermione assured him “He’s visiting with the devil in hell. But I promise that he may enter your dreams but nothing will happen to your body, I am here”
“You’ll protect me?” He asked looking at the dreamless sleep potion in her hand.
“I am Hermione Granger, am I not?” She said “I am a Gryffindor and will fight the dark lord every time he shows up” She helped him take the potion and watched as his eyes started to close slowly.
“Thank you” He breathed “Miss. Granger”
She walked out of his room and closed the door quietly. She told the others that he was to be left alone for at least eight hours then she walked to Snape’s room and took a deep breath outside his door for a few minutes. She looked down the hallway and saw a few of the others watching her wearily, she was a Gryffindor and not afraid of anything. She knocked then opened his door looking at the man sitting by the magically lit window. He was wearing a straightjacket; his legs had been locked to the chair legs and there was a mask over his jaw. His eyes narrowed at her and he watched her every movement as she took his straightjacket off of him and quickly put a ward around her.
“I would like you to write down what you would like to do today” Hermione told him handing him a paper and quill. He took it and watched her for a moment.
‘Fuck you’ He wrote and held it up for her to see.
“So sorry Severus” She answered “But I’m dating Ronald and not really in the mood, headache and all”
‘Fuck off!’ He wrote and held it up again.
“Sorry” She answered “But you are my personal patient and I can’t leave” She thought for a minute “Would you like some breakfast?”
‘Are you going to feed me?’ He asked raising an eyebrow.
“Yes” She answered “What would you like?”
‘Eggs, toast, bacon’ He thought for a moment ‘Strong black tea”
“I will have that delivered” She promised.
He must have still had enough of his mind about him to know that Hermione wasn’t stupid enough to hand feed him. The minute she removed the mask, having to use her hands, he bit her forearm hard enough to break the skin but didn’t bite any harder. She watched him and tried not to cry out in pain, she squeezed her eyes shut against the feeling of his teeth so deep in her arm. She had been cocky when she entered, so sure that he wouldn’t harm her because he knew her, merlin she felt so stupid now! Not knowing what else to do her hand shot out suddenly and gripped his arm raising it fast to her own mouth and bit his forearm. She tasted the metallic tang of his blood rush over her tongue and over her lips. She heard an anguished sort of noise pulled from him before he finally let go of her and raised her ward up again.
“Hermione!” Bridget exclaimed from the doorway “Did you bite him?!”
“He bit me” Hermione answered while Snape beat against her ward.
“When he’s eaten we need to talk in my office” Bridget said handing over the tray. She closed the door and Hermione looked at Snape who was breathing heavily and glaring at her.
“You got me in trouble” She accused.
‘You bit me’ He wrote with an angry expression.
“You bit me” She pointed to her bleeding arm “Are you going to attack or bite me if I try to heal you?”
‘Probably’ He answered.
“Then I’ll leave you to starve and bleed” She grabbed the tray he had been looking longingly at and started to walk to the door. She heard him slapping the arms of his chair but refused to answer him, he could make noise so she was urging him to.
“MMMM!” The noise that issued from him was nondescript he was attempting any words just trying to get her attention.
“Yes, Severus?” She turned back and raised her brows.
‘Food’ He wrote.
“I can’t allow you to feed yourself, silly” She told him “You are dangerous and if you keep attacking me then I won’t heal or feed you”
‘Will be good’ He wrote glaring at her.
“Fine” She walked over “If you harm me in anyway, Severus. I will make sure that you don’t leave that bed for the next six months, your arms will be held down as will your legs, do you understand me?”
‘Yes’ He answered looking murderous.
Hermione cautiously started to heal him, always aware of where his hands and teeth were but true to his word he never harmed her. When one was confined to a room they didn’t also want to be confined to the bed as well, it was always a threat that worked well in this ward. Snape allowed her to feed him and watched her curiously as she did so, she was lost in her own thoughts. She worried about his health, sanity and happiness and she worried for her own as well. The war had torn this man apart as it had many others, some drank to alieve their horrors, some checked out completely and ended in here like Lucius Malfoy and some just gave up.
‘What are you thinking about’ He wrote angrily ‘You just nearly shoved eggs up my nose’
“What do you know about your illness” She asked and he looked away “That’s what I thought” He glared at her again “I think that you’ve had a mental break, instead of retreating in to childhood like most people you’ve allowed yourself to become the monster you think everyone sees you as” With the food done she stood and looked at him, she made sure that his arms were secure in the straightjacket again after making sure that he didn’t need to use the facilities and put the mask back on promising to be back later.
Bridget was not amused about having to write up another accident report for Snape. She was even less impressed with having to talk to Hermione about not biting the patients. Hermione explained to the woman what happened and even though she was not amused she did say that she would let it go but try to maybe be a little more professional in her approach. With that said and done Hermione went on with her day, she made sure that Lucius ate and went back to sleep, helped Bellatrix bathe which resulted in her having to change her clothes too. If everyone thought the dark woman had been insane before she wasn’t, after the war she had a full mental breakdown and retreated back in to a childlike state. So every shower time turned in to a water fight and where it wasn’t painful or scary it was annoying and a lot like babysitting.
“Bellatrix?” Mona, another healer, asked at she walked out in yet another set of apprentice robes.
“Yeah” She laughed “Better than being bit” She held up her arm and the woman flinched “And now I have to find out what our resident cannibal wants for lunch”
“In school” Mona said “I used to have such a crush on him”
“Me too” Hermione said “Now I’m scared of him”
She need not worry though Snape was awake when she went in and just as unfriendly but they kept to their previous terms. She undid his arms so he could write and she fed him because he wasn’t allowed to use the silverware. He didn’t speak to her much and she didn’t push him to the quicker he ate the sooner she would be done. She wrote up her end of shift report and passed off information to the Healers coming on to shift before she went in the locker room, took another shower, got dressed and went home.
“Hey Hermione” Harry greeted “Ron wrote a letter saying that he won’t be home this weekend with Ginny and you will never believe who I saw at the Ministry today”
“Who?” She asked sitting with him and a cup of tea.
“Neville Longbottom” Harry answered “He’s back from his apprenticeship in America and he looks good, Hermione”
“I thought his apprenticeship was only three years and he’s been gone nearly five” Hermione said “What’s he been doing?”
“His apprenticeship ended after three years” Harry told her “But he stayed to work with the Herbology Master for a while but now he doesn’t need to be there so he came home”
“That’s wonderful” She smiled “Is he going to stay with his grandmother?”
“For a while” Harry answered “I’ve invited him to dinner tonight so he should be here around five. I’ve started making lemon chicken if you could get the rice making and maybe some kind of vegetable that would be great”
“What’s going on?” Hermione asked, usually if they had company she was the one that made the main dish not Harry, well not Harry unless there was something that was bothering him that he didn’t want to tell her.
“What?” His eyes widened “Nothing’s wrong, Neville is coming over and we’ll have dinner…”
“Tell me, Harry Potter” She glared at him.
“Neville saw Ron” Harry sighed “In America”
“That’s where he’s playing so that’s where he’ll be” Hermione said rolling her eyes.
“With another girl” Harry finished looking at her evenly.
“As friends?” She asked with a shaky tone.
“He was kissing her” Harry confirmed and she nodded, wiping tears away from her eyes she nodded again “Hermione…”
“I will start the rice and vegetables” She said and when he reached for her she looked at him again “Just…let me deal with this the way I want to, okay?”
“Alright” He answered.
