Rest and Recuperation

Hermione spent the next day talking to the Auror; they grilled her on exactly what happened and who it was. They had to make sure it was Cole before they went to arrest him. She had to give up her memories of that night so the Aurors could see exactly what happened. Harry had been there the whole day helping the American Aurors.

After a whole day of being questioning Hermione was finally released from Hospital. Harry had persuaded Hermione to come and stay at Grimmauld for one week and then return back to New York. Her lecturers all agreed to it and sent work for her as they knew Hermione didn't like to be behind.

Harry and Hermione Port keyed back to England, straight to Grimmauld. As they entered the house Hermione was greeted by Ginny. Ginny immediately went to Hermione and hugged her.

'So good to have you home.' Ginny said.

'It's nice to be back.' Hermione said as she wiggled away Ginny's tight hug which hurt her bruised bones slightly.

'Mum and Dad are coming to visit tomorrow, they're coming back from France today and I think Ron said he'd be over this afternoon.' Ginny said.

'Okay. Do you mind if I go a rest for a while?' Hermione asked feeling slightly worse for wear having just got a Port Key from America.

'Of course. Come on I'll get you settled in your room.' Ginny said as she took hold of Hermione's hand and ushered her upstairs.

Upstairs, Ginny got Hermione into her bed and helped her lie back. She took off Hermione's ballet flats for her and also helped her remove her jacket.

'Thanks Gin.' Hermione said as she sat back against the pillows.

'You're welcome.' Ginny said. 'How are you feeling truthfully?'

'Truthfully, I feel alright I just need to rest.' She said smiling. 'I'm fine though. I'm glad I decided to come here while the Aurors try and find Cole.'

'I hope they find that scumbag. I can't believe he did that to you Hermione I really can't. I mean I knew he was an arse but to do that, it's just awful.' Ginny said as she shook her head.

'I know.' She said as she coughed. 'I just hope they find him.'

'They will. Harry said that the American Aurors are very good; he reckons they're better than here. He wants to do some training with them wouldn't that be cool.' Ginny said smiling brightly.

'It would.' She replied tiredly.

'I should let you get some sleep.' Ginny said as she stood up from the edge of the bed. 'Can I get you anything before I go downstairs?'

'No I'm fine.' She said as she let Ginny leave the room.

Three hours later, Hermione was awoken by her door been flown open by a clumsy Ron.

'Hello Mione. How you feeling?' He said as he walked around the double bed and laid down beside her.

'Umm fine thanks.' She said as she sat up feeling uncomfortable with sharing a bed with Ron. 'How...how are you Ron?'

'Oh you know tired from working.' He said as he yawned. 'Also I've been seeing Lavender quite a bit recently, she's tires me out if you know what I mean.'

'I do know what you mean, thanks Ronald.' She said sarcastically.

'Ron!' Ginny said as she stood in the doorway. 'I told you to leave Hermione to sleep.'

'I did. I joined her. She just woke up.' He said oblivious that he had woken Hermione up and then joined her bed without asking.

'Well I don't think Hermione wants your sweaty body all over her bed. Get off.' She said which made Ron slowly get up off the bed mumbling that he wasn't sweaty. 'Dinner's ready.'

'Oh good.' Ron said and rushed out without saying goodbye to either his sister or friend which made them roll their eyes.

'Do you feel like coming down?' Ginny asked.

'I'll come down.' Hermione said as she got out of bed and put her feet into her slippers which had been placed next to the bed by either Ginny or the house elf.

Ginny helped Hermione walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where the others were waiting, everyone except Ron who was tucking into the roast.

'It's so good to see you Hermione.' Molly said as she hugged Hermione gently as she entered the kitchen. 'I'm so sorry we couldn't come see you.'

'It's alright Molly; I had Ginny and Harry with me.' She said as she gently sat down.

'Well that's good. I'm glad they were there for you my dear.' She said softly. 'Now tuck into this and get some meat on your bones, you're looking rather skinny.'

'She looks fine Mum.' Ginny said rolling her eyes.

'You're both the same, too skinny. Need to fatten you up.' She said as she put plates on the table.

The six of them ate Molly's home cooked roast at the table together casually talking about Molly and Arthur's trip to France. After dinner, the four Weasley's went back to the Burrow and left Harry and Hermione alone for the night. Ginny had tried to stay however her mother was not happy with her unwed daughter staying in the house of her boyfriend even though Hermione was there.

After they had left, Harry went into the living room to watch his muggle TV while Hermione went to the library. Hermione laid out on the leather sofa in the library and started to read a romance novel she had picked out.

Half an hour into her novel, Hermione heard a knock at the door.

'Come in Harry.' She called as looked towards the door.

'I'm afraid I am not Mr Potter.' Severus said as he opened the door.

'Severus!' she said surprised and sat up quickly; too quickly.

'Careful.' He said as he rushed to her side to steady her. 'I didn't mean to surprise you.'

'What are you doing here?' she asked as she looked at him.

'I'm here to visit you.' He said as he sat down beside her.

Truth was he just had to come see her. It was odd, he felt drawn to her ever since she had been attacked. When he had first been told he rushed to New York to help however he didn't know until he was there that he would be so helpful to her case.

'That was nice of you. You didn't have too.' She said.

'You look much better.' He said as he edged towards her. 'I have brought some more paste to apply to your face.'

'It's fine.' She said as she touched her face. 'I think you got rid of most of the scars.'

'I should apply it again just to make sure we get rid of the white scars.' He said as he opened his robe to take out the paste.

'Thank you for what you did.' She said as she pulled her hair away from her face. 'You didn't have to.'

'I did.' He said quietly as he started to apply to paste to her face. 'It might sting a bit. The first time I put it on you, you cried.'

'Sorry.' She mumbled embarrassed.

'You were in pain Hermione it's nothing to be embarrassed about.' He said as he smothered the paste onto her cheek. 'There that should do it. If you want more just tell me.'

'Thank you Severus.' She said as she leant forward and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

Severus didn't reply he was too shocked that she had kissed him; kissed him on the cheek but still kissed him.

'I brought you something.' He said as he pulled out a package and placed it in Hermione's arms.

'Severus, you didn't have too.' She said as she opened it carefully.

Hermione opened the small package to discover and black leather journal. She opened the book to find it empty and she looked up at Severus.

'It's a two way journal. I have one and you have one, this way it will be easier to communicate and if you ever need to get in touch with me or I you we can.' He said. 'When you or I write in our journals it will write on the page in front of us.'

'Severus this is wonderful! I didn't even know these existed.' She said.

'It's my own personal experiment. I invented the journal when I was at school actually.' He said.

'Really and you've never sold on the idea? You could make millions.' She said as she closed the journal.

'Maybe but I'd rather keep it to myself.' He replied.

'Thank you for sharing this with me.' She said.

'Your welcome. When are you going back to New York?' He asked.

'Next week hopefully. I don't want to miss too much. When are you coming over to New York next?' she asked.

'Two weeks.' He said. 'So I shall be back a week after you and I'll be staying for three days.'

'That sounds good.' She said.

'I'll take you out to dinner when I come over and I'll walk you home.' He said as he looked at her. 'Promise me not to walk alone at night again.'

'I promise.' She said as she looked at him wondering why he cared. 'Thank you for caring.' She said as she looked at her hands in her lap.

'You don't have to thank me for caring Hermione.' He said as he took her hand in his. 'I want you to be safe. Seeing you like that a few days ago was not nice, I don't ever want to see you like that again and I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure you never get hurt like that again.' He said deeply.

Hermione looked up and him and into his eyes. She couldn't believe her ears at what she was hearing. She leaned towards him slowly getting closer and closer to him. Severus too moved closer to him Hermione it was like he was drawn to her, like she was some kind of magnet.

Severus tilted his head down slightly and captured Hermione's soft supply lips on his own. Hermione sighed into his kiss like it was heaven. She wrapped her good arm around his neck and pulled him closer to her; she couldn't get enough of him. Severus wrapped both his arms around her thin waist and pulled her practically on top of him.

The kiss was perfection.

Severus pulled away first and looked down at Hermione whose eyes were closed. He placed a soft kiss on her head and leant back on the sofa with Hermione still in his arms.

'What was...where...are...' she mumbled trying to ask him a question.

'Slow.' He said as he looked down at her. 'Let's take this very slowly.'

'What is this?' she said as she looked at him.

'I'm not too sure right now but it's something.' He said softly.
