“Miss Granger” Merina said “This is Norma Metreeks”
“Pleased to meet you, Miss Granger” The older blonde-haired woman greeted warmly “Can I just say for all the other muggleborn witches and wizards in this world, thank you for fighting for us”
“You are welcome” Hermione answered.
“I fought for a while” Norma said “But I was caught and spent four months in a cell in Azkaban being held by the death eaters before I was rescued by a young ministry official” She smiled “I would have jumped back in but the reunion with my late husband resulted in the pregnancy of our first and my only child and he insisted on fighting while I stayed home and safe”
“He died in battle?” Hermione asked sadly.
“On the way to it actually” She answered “Took me a few years to figure that out, but some witnesses told me that they saw him” She wiped tears from her cheeks and heaved a great breath, she looked at Hermione and couldn’t help but keep talking “Bill Weasley saw him apperating the children away, three or four at times but then he was attacked by some death eaters” She smiled proudly “It took Dolohov, Rebastan LeStrange, McNair and Greyback to take him down and they all suffered greatly before he died”
“He was very brave” Hermione said “I am sorry for your loss but happy that you know that he was a brave and strong man and thank you for telling me that”
“Can we get back to the topic on hand?” Merina snapped irritably.
“Yes, yes” Norma said “Hermione you have two months left of your apprenticeship, now is the time when you and your peers start to be shuffled out to areas that need Healers”
“What do you mean?” Hermione asked.
“One of your peers is off to the States” Norma said “One is off to Russia, another is off to France, one to Germany…you get the point”
“Oh, I thought” Hermione said, she was suddenly thinking about leaving Snape and Lucius, hell even Bellatrix. As mental as it sounded they had become like her family, insanity and all, Bella was like a child that needed to be taken care of. Lucius was making so much progress and was even talking to her about his problems. Severus, he was actually making more noises and she was sure that with a little pushing she could convince him to try to learn words again.
“You thought everyone stayed here?” Merina laughed a cruel laugh.
“Merina doesn’t need to be so cruel” Norma shot her a look that shut her up “But we don’t have a lot of openings here and it is extremely rare that an apprentice gets chosen for a position”
“So where is Hermione Granger going to be shipped to?” Merina looked ready to giggle at the thought of a Hermione-less Saint Mungo’s.
“Hermione” Norma said “Will be staying here”
“WHAT?!” Merina snapped while Hermione said “What?” in a happy shock.
“Merina” Norma said “Just as I did with you three years previous, I am more or less ending Miss Granger’s apprenticeship here and hiring her”
“You will continue to be taught as you were when you were an unpaid apprentice” Norma told Hermione “You will be seen as an apprentice so after your last two months you’ll need to go to the graduation and all that but after that you will get a raise”
“Thank you” Hermione breathed “Where will I be placed?”
“Merina” Norma said “She is no longer your responsibility, can you please get back to work and write up the paperwork for the others that are leaving the country?”
“Of course” Merina said standing up and glaring at Hermione before leaving the office.
“She…takes a little getting used to” Norma said by way of apology “Hermione, you have been doing so well in the Mental Ward the patients care for you, respect you and all around adore your presence” She laughed “Honestly I would have been blind and completely bonkers not to have noticed all the good you’ve done and not only with noticing what was happening to Mr. Snape by Marcus”
“Thank you” She said.
“We have an opening” She continued “The position left open by Marcus and it needs to be filled. The position is third shift Monday thru Friday with no mandatory weekend days” She smiled “After a few months when you are truly done with your apprenticeship you may be able to move to first or second shift, if you want”
“Thank you so much!” Hermione said.
“Stop by the front office on your way out after this meeting” Norma said “Get your new Healer work robes and be here tomorrow night at ten”
“Can’t I do the six to six?” Hermione asked “Call it crazy but I really do enjoy talking with Snape before he goes to bed, reading to Bellatrix and chatting with Lucius. I also wanted time to talk to the newest patient…It’s a bit personal”
“Yes” Norma nodded “I heard that you and Miss Lovegood were good friends” She sighed “Okay, two twelve hour shifts and two ten hour shifts but that’s the best I can do”
“Thank you” Hermione said again.

Harry and Hermione had celebrated her promotion the night before and she made sure to keep herself up late so she would get plenty of sleep that day. Sure enough she went to bed around one in the morning slept until ten then took a nap around two so she would be well rested for work at six. She got to work early so she could shower extra-long and think about her new raise and the fact that she was actually, truly and honestly an adult now. She had felt like an adult the first time she had had sex, the first broken heart, when she chose to look for the Horcruxes, during the battle of Hogwarts, when she got her N.E.W.T’s, when she got accepted to be an apprentice at the hospital but she realized that this was it. There would be no more classes, no more sitting in a classroom unless she were the teacher and no more being taught lessons less there was a new way to heal the psychiatric patients. Her childhood was truly over and now she was an adult with a career.
She walked out in her fresh, new Healers robes and smiled at the security guard as he gave her the on-floor wand and gave her his congratulatory hand shake. She walked on to the floor and in to many different hugs from her fellow Healers that had all heard the good news. She was happy to be working in a department of such nice people, she sat down at the desk and took a newest file out. Luna Lovegood was their newest patient and was currently on lockdown in her room. She was yet to prove that she was dangerous but it was standard procedure until they could figure out her medical potions.
“Did this one surprise you?” Angelina asked pointing at Luna’s picture.
“A little” Hermione answered honestly, only really scanning the file before closing it “What’s she in here for?”
“What are they all in for?” Angelina asked “Except Snape of course whose only here because he’s abusive”
“Criminal Insanity” Hermione answered “What did she do?” She laughed to herself “Disrupt the public by screaming about Nargles?”
“No” Angelina answered looking uncharacteristically serious “She killed her baby”
“What?” Hermione lip trembled “She…what?”
“She claimed something was after them” Angelina informed “She hid in a closet for two days clutching her daughter against her chest and ended up smothering her”
“Was there someone after her?” Hermione asked.
“No” Angelina said “So, Lucius is quite talkative today if you want to try to work with him and Bella is going to be taking a shower so if, when she’s done you would like to read to her or I can if you want” She smiled “Those fairytales are really doing something for her, she loves them”
“Okay” Hermione said. She made her way to Lucius’s room and looked at him from the doorway, he was deeply immersed in a book about business and making notes.
“You can come in, Miss Granger” He said without looking up “Instead of standing there like a stalker”
“Hello, Lucius” She greeted walking in and sitting down “What would you like to talk about tonight?”
“Tell me about Draco” He said “I have been here for years and he doesn’t visit…do I have grandchildren, is he married, happy?”
“He’s happy” Hermione said “He’s running the family business and married Astoria Greengrass and they are trying for a baby”
“Why doesn’t he visit me?” Lucius asked.
“He’s not ready” Hermione said.
Hermione stayed with him for an hour before going in and reading Cinderella to Bellatrix. The woman listened until she fell asleep while whispering about fairy godmothers. She then helped out with a few other patients before she peeked in at Snape who was reading a potions magazine. She gripped the shrunken cards in one pocket and then the notepad in her other pocket before unlocking and opening his door. He looked at her and gave a smirk before slowly closing the magazine and placing it next to him. She had managed to convince him to stop hitting people and for his troubles he was rewarded with the use of his hands. His size worked against him though and he wasn’t allowed to have the use of his legs yet for fear that he would escape when some of the smaller Healers came in for whatever reasons.
“I heard” Hermione greeted “That you exposed yourself to one of the female healers here”
‘She loved it’ He wrote ‘You should have seen the way she was eyeing my cock, I fear that she may rape me’
“You can’t do that” Hermione said “That will get you in all sorts of trouble that I won’t be able to get you out of”
‘I heard that you’re a full blown healer now’ He changed the subject.
“Yes” She answered “Get to work with you all the time” She walked around and sat in front of him “Would you like to tell me about your father?”
‘Would you like to give me a blow job?’ The look on his face was so serious that she couldn’t help but laugh a little.
“No, Severus” She said evenly “I am not currently in the mood to give you a blow job, but thank you for asking”
‘Well then I am not currently in the mood to tell you about my father’ He answered
“Then would you like to start relearning words?” She pulled out and resized the cards.
‘Would you like to give me a lap dance?’ He wrote raising an eyebrow ‘I am not stupid, I know words, how else would I be writing if I didn’t’ He sighed ‘Just let it go’
“Writing words and actually being able to say them are two different things” Hermione told him “You can’t spend the rest of your life sitting in here”
‘Why not?’ He wrote giving her a challenging look, she sighed and unstuck his legs from the chair legs watching him for a few minutes as he stretched them out.
“You need to learn to speak again” She said simply and he smirked and shook his head in disagreement “What has happened to you?” She scowled at him “So you’ve been through a war, so have I. You’ve got scars, so do I. You have killed people and lost people but you know what…so have I!” He wrote something down furiously “The difference between you and I is that I am dealing with my horrors and you are sitting in here hiding away!”
‘Stop it, Miss Granger’ He wrote.
“Where is the man that taught me potions” She asked in a resigned voice “The man that struck fear in every Gryffindor with only his voice, that demanded respect, that made boys shake in fear and girls in desire when he spoke?” His eyebrow raised “Don’t look at me like that, you had to have known what you did to the females in that classroom, it was amazing there weren’t visible wet spots on the seats” She stood and walked away to the other side of the room, leaned against the wall and looked at him “It wasn’t just your voice, it was the whole persona you had, evil without being truly evil, mean but every girl felt they could change you and passionate…always passionate”
‘Did I affect you like that?’ He wrote down before standing and walking over to her, he wrote while he walked and held it up when he was a little ways away from her ‘Did I affect you like that?’
“Yes” She breathed kicking herself for placing herself in a spot that she couldn’t get out of, this was taught in Mental Health 101: Never corner yourself with a dangerous patient and never with a male patient, especially if he was taller or outweighed you. Hermione was only 5’5” and Severus was 6’3” and though skinny she knew that he could take her. Now he was moving closer to her and she felt her heart race while trying to remember anything that would help if he tried to rape her.
‘If I relearn these words what do I get out of this?’ He asked.
“To talk again” She said “To be able to tell Harry off whenever you want to” She grinned.
‘I want something else’ He wrote looking her over.
“Like what?” She breathed.
‘I’ll keep you informed’ He answered, she gasped when he leaned closer to her and let his lips trail over along her cheek before pulling away and sitting back down in his chair and held up his sign ‘Shall we start relearning words, Professor Granger?’
