*Hermione woke up confused and looked around her bedroom. The pale blue walls were glowing red, it was too hot in her bedroom and she could barely breathe, there was smoke in the air. She was shaking with fear, this was not good, she got out of her bed and ran to the door. She could hear screaming from the residents locked in their rooms, she tried the doors but there was no opening them. She screamed.*
Hermione sat up breathing heavily in her bed, she looked around her room and didn’t find flames or smoke. It had been a few days since she had decided to just move in with the residence as opposed to living with Harry and Draco. They had decided to sleep in the same bedroom they were pretty good but she was sure they had finally decided to go all the way. She heard giggling, moans and then swearing with the phrase “bloody hell…that hurts a lot” said numerous times. She couldn’t take it anymore and moved out the next day, they were upset with her but she assured them it had nothing to do with them (it did) and that it was only because she was worried about her patients.
“Time to start my day” Hermione announced to herself.
Once her shower was done and she was dressed for the day Hermione walked out of her bedroom and stopped to listen. It was quiet…too quiet. In a hospital filled with mental patients, much like a house with a toddler or puppy, silence wasn’t golden it was very, very suspicious. She walked down the stairs and found Angelina in the sunroom with some patients that were doing art, reading or just staring off in to space. Bridget was in the kitchen overseeing the weekly menu with the house-elves, Lucius was in the sitting room reading with his stuff by his leg as he would be leaving in a few hours. Hermione made her way up the stairs quickly and to Cami’s bedroom only to find it empty, with a sinking feeling in her stomach that could only be explained as fear she made her way to Bella’s bedroom to find that empty as well. She waved her wand and found that all the spells were still in place and the number of those in the house were the same as usual. She made her way down the stairs and stopped in the middle and looked around. She shook her head and went all the way down the stairs and then in to the library where no one spent any time.
“Bellatrix!” Hermione gasped. The older woman lifted her head and smiled shyly, moving away from the nine year old that she had tied to a chair. Cami had what looked like a sock stuck in her mouth and was fighting furiously to get free “What are you doing?”
“She attacked me again” Bella pouted and moved closer to Hermione and putting her head against her shoulder like a pet looking to be praised.
“You can’t tie her up for it” Hermione said, glad that she had enough training with Snape at hiding her true emotions because she really wanted to laugh “What was your plan?”
“I was going to teach her to respect her superiors” Bella answered.
“No” Hermione said “Merlin…I feel like I’m talking to a thirteen year old Draco again. Bella, next time there is a problem you come to me and I will take care of it”
“But I wanted to” She pouted and looked at the door when Bridget came in and smiled brightly “Is it snack time?”
“It is” Bridget watched Bella run by to get to the dining room before everyone else. Hermione pointed her wand at the restrained child and let her walk off grumbling about getting even with Bella.
“Did you know what was happening in here?” Hermione asked the older healer.
“Maybe” Bridget answered with a grin “Maybe not”
“You know we can’t condone that behavior” Hermione sighed.
“So punish both of them” Bridget said “That little demon pushed Bella down most of the stairs so Bella dragged her by her hair in to the library and closed the door, I swear I didn’t know what was happening beyond that”
“Please don’t make me fire you” Hermione said “And don’t let that happen again or you will indeed be fired”
Hermione wrote up the dismissal parchment for Lucius Malfoy and then another copy with all of the instructions for both Lucius and Draco. Narcissa had vacated Malfoy manor and then Harry’s team had gone in and went over every inch of it to make sure there was no dark magic or objects there anymore. Then Hermione, Angelina and Bridget did a sweep of the house, they removed anything that could harm him and put spells on the knives so they couldn’t cut through skin. She had his wand restricted so he couldn’t use dark spells or even spells that were questionable. There had been a correspondence with the ministry about Luna’s case which was still a tricky one. SIDS were something that was pretty much unheard of in the wizarding world and they didn’t really know what to do next.
“Healer Granger” She heard from the open doorway and looked up to see an Auror with light brown hair and sparkling blue eyes looking at her “I’m Auror Philks”
“The man I’ve been conversing with?” She verified “How nice to meet you, however…what are you doing here?”
“The office is busy with owls flying in and out along with the renovations…it’s a little hectic” He laughed “I was only too happy for an excuse to get away”
“I’m sure” She leaned back and waved her hand to the seat in front of her desk “Harry’s told me all about the renovations. It’s a stressful pain now but it will be worth it in the end”
“I hope so” He smiled “Now, on to Miss. Lovegoods case”
“SIDS” Hermione said “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. I think I explained it very well in the letters I was sending to you earlier, I have a young man who wants to take Luna in and help her deal with her depression but as you know I need your approval before I can give the okay”
“Technically” He said “She’s done nothing wrong. The baby died, which is terrible, but that baby died of what is seen in our world as natural causes which means that there’s nothing I can do to keep her here” Hermione nodded “She was brought to the mental ward under the suspicion of murdering her child but since you’ve proven that’s not so they only thing keeping her here is her”
“Oh” She looked a little shocked “So, I can send her to Neville Longbottom?”
“If that’s what you think is best for her” He answered “However, I would request that you remember she is depressed and could be a danger to herself as well as the public”
“I understand” She said “I will make sure that she has therapy”
“That would be best, I think” He said and smiled when she smiled happily at him. He started to stand up and then looked back at her, taking a deep breath “I was wondering, Miss Granger”
“Yeah?” She tilted her head to the side noting that he suddenly looked nervous.
“Would you like to maybe…that is…Would you like to go out for dinner” He smiled nervously “With me”
“Oh” She looked at her paper work and thought about the safest way to get out of this. She couldn’t tell him that she was seeing Snape, no one could know about that because she was his therapist but she couldn’t go out with him…could she? It was just one little date, dinner and good conversation, just because their going out doesn’t mean that they have to have sex.
“It doesn’t have to be like a date” He rushed “Just going to The Leaky Cauldron for some food and talking”
“Yeah” She said nodding “That sounds great” He smiled and she added “It’s been a while since I’ve been out with a friend” The smile dimmed slightly but wasn’t gone completely.
“So can I pick you up on Friday at six?” He asked.
“Yeah” She said “It’ll be fun”
~~~//~~~Two Days Later~~~//~~~
Hermione had spoken to Luna about what Neville was offering and when she wanted her to Hermione put in her own thoughts. Now, she was sitting at her desk writing up her accident report for the newest Bella and Cami fight and then the dismissal report for Luna. That would free up yet another bed in her small hospital, she was starting to think that maybe she needed to talk to her hospital colleagues for more patients. It was Thursday, she should go home and pick out an outfit to wear for her date…but it wasn’t a date. She couldn’t even think about it as a date, she was pretty sure that Snape could read her thoughts even miles away. Harry had warned Hermione that, Gerard (that was Auror Philks first name) was a bit of a ladies man and would likely try real hard to get in her panties. This worried her a bit so she talked him in to going to keep an eye on him while they were out. He agreed but only because she had (wisely) asked him in front of Draco who was nearly salivating at the thought of a date with Harry.
“Sir!” Hermione heard Max say loudly “You can’t go in there until I make sure…”
“Hermione!” Severus walked in to her office uninvited and he looked like he was ready to kill someone “I need to speak with you!”
“Max” Hermione said calmly to her newest employee who was fluttering behind the dark man “It’s okay, you may close the door on your way out” She watched as he closed the door and then turned her eyes to Snape “How may I help you?”
“Don’t you use that tone with me!” He snapped and she leaned back making sure that her wand was in her hand “Who the hell is Gerard Philks?”
“Gerard is an Auror that came over to talk to me about Miss. Lovegoods case” Hermione answered simply.
“And will you be discussing her case tomorrow night at the Leaky Cauldron?” He asked, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
“If it comes up” She answered innocently, she wasn’t entirely sure how he found out about her non-date date “But I assume that we will also discuss interests in other things than work”
“No, you won’t be talking to him about anything on Friday night” He snapped, moving closer to her and towering over her “Because you won’t be going”
“Excuse me?” She asked, standing up “When did you gain the right to tell me what I can and cannot do?”
“I am your…” He started.
“You, Severus Snape” She said “Are my patient. There is no ring on my finger, we have never been on a date nor have we even shared a meal that didn’t involve me spoon-feeding you!” She poked him in the chest “Did we kiss? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. And do I wish that we can be something more than patient and Healer? Yes. But will it ever change…I don’t know and I can’t sit around and wait forever”
“Y-you…” He started “I just…” He looked lost.
“Severus” She put her hand on his cheek “I made it very clear to him that it was just two friends getting together because for some…ungodly reason I can’t even entertain the idea of being with someone who isn’t you” He leaned in to her touch “But for the next year we are going to have to pretend to only be friends”
“A whole year” He muttered.
“Yes” She said “For the next year I am your therapist and you my patient and I can’t risk losing my license”
