The healer sat down in his seat and looked at Hermione. She had been waiting patiently for the last half an hour as he had been attending to a problem that had come up just after she had showed up. She knew this lifestyle as it was her own, a healers life was always timed out so instead of when they can do something it turned in to if they had time to do something. The healer sitting before her was a middle-aged man with clear blue eyes that reminded her of Dumbledore and a friendly smile that was filled with the sort of wonder she was used to seeing on Arthur Weasleys face. This man seemed nicer than most healers she had ever worked with or known. He looked back at the files in his hands and nodded to himself before looking back at her and heaving a great sigh.
“Miss Granger” He said “Your ability to love and help those who harmed you in the past is exemplary and something that should be taught in a class as I personally think the world would be a better place with more people like you in it”
“Thank you, Healer Prewett” She said, blushing at the praise.
“Now I have spoken to Mr. Snape” He went on “He seems to be in a perfect state of mind and while I don’t think he could really pass for friendly” Hermione snorted “He isn’t abusive anymore. His speaking is clear and the stuttering I notice only gets real bad when he’s particularly passionate about something”
“Yes” Hermione said “I am still working with him on the speed of his speech. He is used to being able to talk rather quickly and now that he can’t it upsets him greatly which, sadly, makes the stuttering stand out even more”
“I did notice that” He agreed “Now, I have to ask the normal questions about his living arrangements and work arrangements”
“Well” Hermione said eagerly “If he is allowed to leave my hospital I have found him a one bedroom flat in Diagon Alley above the Apothecary” He nodded “As Mr. Blecker is getting older he needs help in the potions lab so Severus will be helping to brew for the store but I also would like to employ him at my hospital”
“Why?” He asked, clearly surprised.
“I have just taken in a nine year old patient” Hermione told him “She is a…well, she’s a bit of a handful really. She’s going to need a tutor that has a no nonsense attitude and won’t be scared off by her fits and freak outs and Severus Snape is a smart man that won’t give up”
“Are you sure that he will be able to deal with that stress?” He asked.
“I’ll be there to monitor his stress levels” She promised “There will also be intense therapy sessions for him once a week unless I feel that they should be increased or decreased”
“Alright” He said “I will approve his release back in to the wizarding world but make sure that his place his heavily warded and that his wand had restrictions on it, at least for the first six months”
“I will, sir. Thank you” Hermione gushed.
“I am also approving the release of Lucius Malfoy” He announced “His son has been most annoying and always in my office. You are to give him therapy sessions as well and Azkaban’s parole for him he is to have Muggle Study classes once a week for the next year”
“I’ll see to it personally sir” She promised “Thank you again”
“You are welcome, Miss Granger” He answered and watched her walk out of the office.

Severus looked around his new apartment. It opened up to the living room, his kitchen was on the left and the hallway was on the other side of the living room. Bedroom door was on one end of that hallway, bathroom on the other and a closet in between. It was small but perfect and he had access to a fully stocked potions lab. He wouldn’t have to see others (a rule by the owner of the Apothecary) he had a private entrance so he could come and go as he liked as long as he was home by nine at night and until eight in the morning.
“All yours if you want it” Hermione said “But it comes with a job, private and the entrance is hidden so no one can bother you”
“I’ll take it” He said “It’ll be nice to live alone for once”
“I’ve had a bed brought up already” She went on “Dishes have been put away and the fridge has been completely stocked. The couch is old but it’ll hold up and once you have a paycheck you can replace anything that you like”
“Its fine” He assured her “Thank you, for getting me out of the hospital and back on to my feet”
“You did it yourself” Hermione told him “I merely helped you”
She watched him walk through the small apartment and wished, not for the first time, that she could have gotten him a bigger place. However, he seemed rather happy to be anywhere that didn’t have bars on the window. He turned at the door that led to the bedroom and gave her a saucy smile before entering it, she stood by the front door and looked at his bedroom door waiting for him to come out. He didn’t and she frowned before walking to the open door and leaning against the doorframe. He stood in the middle and looked around then looked at the empty bed before looking at her with flirtatious grin.
“No” She answered as he walked slowly over to her with a grin lazily making its way across his face “I am your therapist”
“I need some…physical therapy right now” He assured her “You’ll be doing to world so much good” He pulled her closer and kissed her, to say she was shocked was an understatement, she assumed that he would want to go on a date or something but he was really moving them along fast.
His kissing skills however were beyond anything that she had ever experienced before and it really had been too long since she’d been with someone. She wanted his tongue to dominate her mouth, his hand to clutch her hair while the other one wandered beneath her shirt. She loved sliding her hand up his chest and around his neck and pushing herself against him. But then her mind came back to her and she pushed him away gently, she bit her lip nervously and shook her head again.
“We can’t” She told him “You just got free. You need to show the world that you got out of your own and not because you were banging your therapist”
“But I like that much better” He promised “Come on”
“No” She said “I will see you tomorrow evening for therapy”
“Damn it” He said.
He watched her go with a playful pout on his lips but she shook her head and walked out the door closing it firmly behind her. She forced herself to walk down the stairs and apperate back to her hospital before she poured herself a drink. When she felt her muscles loosen themselves she finally sat down. She hadn’t been with anyone in ages and she thought that being next to Severus and yet not being able to touch him was pure torture. How wrong she was, kissing him, feeling his body against hers and his amazingly strong hands running over her and having to push him away was way more torturous.
“Hermione” Max, her newest member of staff, knocked on the door.
“WHAT!” She snapped, she closed her eyes when he entered looking at her with fear.
“Is this a bad time?” He asked.
“No” She said after a moment “I’m sorry, I’m a little stressed and worried about Severus being gone. I didn’t mean to snap at you, what can I do for you?”
“Well” He smiled “Neville Longbottom came to visit you earlier but with you not here we sent him away. He had also wanted to visit Luna, he claims that he is an old friend and that he wants to help her”
“I’ll Floo him” She promised “How is Cami?”
“She finished the classwork that you gave her” He told her “We let her out of her room because she was doing good but she attacked Luna, who just stood there and allowed the attack until we were able to pull her away”
“Is Luna alright?” Hermione asked
“Oh yes” He promised “Nothing horrible and all wounds were healed immediately. While we were healing Luna however she attacked Bellatrix”
“And?” Hermione asked, she was trying and almost failing to keep the smile off her face at the thought of Bella and Cami meeting. If they got along it would catastrophic as they were both fiery and murderous however, Bellatrix hated children and had been annoyed with Cami’s very presence since she got there.
“Bellatrix ripped out a chunk of her hair” Max said “And slammed her in to the wall a few times, nothings broken but Cami is acting like she was just being an angel and Bella attacked her”
“I’ll talk to both of them” Hermione said gathering up the stuff she always brought to the patients rooms “Thank you” When Max left the office Hermione placed the files on the corner of the desk and threw some Floo powder in to the fireplace calling out for Neville’s home.
“Hey Hermione” He said when he answered “I came to visit you. I have a proposition for you”
“What is it?” She asked.
“You’ve diagnosed that Luna’s baby died because of SIDS right?” He asked and she nodded “Well, I was wondering if it would be okay if I invited Luna home with me. I’m taking care of Gran now as she is on her deathbed and I think that having someone to take care of might be good for Luna”
“I’ll think about it and talk to her about it” Hermione promised then added “I thought you left for another adventure”
“I did” He answered “But then Gran…”
“Understandable” Hermione said.
“You are certain that she is safe right?” He asked.
“Yes” She said “Luna didn’t kill the baby. SIDS did. However, I think that she was suffering from Postpartum and now she is suffering from depression”
“I understand” He said.
“If I can even get this to go through with the ministry” She said “I can’t promise anything though, I’ll let you know”
Once she closed the network, Hermione made her way up to Cami’s bedroom where she found the fuming child pacing her bedroom floor. Hermione leaned against the doorframe with an eyebrow raised until she noticed her standing there. Cami sat down and kept her cold eyes on Hermione’s face, the hatred was evident in her face before she smiled cruelly at the older woman.
“You’re going to pay for this” She promised “I will make you pay for the horrors that I have been subjected to here”
“You attacked Bellatrix” Hermione pointed out “She was protecting herself”
“Taking her side” Cami said “How expected”
“I’m not taking sides” Hermione said “I am pointing out the facts”
“You’ll pay” She repeated “Both of you will pay for this, I promise” Hermione felt a shudder go through her body when the girl made her promise, it was something in her voice but for some reason she found herself scared of a patient for the first time in her life.
