There was a knock on the door at Malfoy Manor that was answered by a cute little house-elf who let Hermione in and hummed to herself as she walked away in search of someone in the house. Hermione stood in the entry hall wearing casual blue jeans sneakers and a grey sweater. She was just starting to doubt the little house-elf’s ability to do the simplest of job when Astoria came down the stairs. She was as beautiful as Hermione would suspect a Malfoy woman should be, long blonde hair currently piled on top of her head, high-waist black slacks and a black vest that showed off the perfect curve of her breasts and the pants showed off her tiny waist.
“Hermione Granger” She greeted, her voice was soft and silky smooth with the coldness Hermione had come to expect from pure-blooded women “How unexpected, would you care for some tea in the sunroom”
“I would love some” She answered “Thank you”
She followed the woman as she walked smoothly through the house. They went down the front hall and through two sitting rooms that Astoria told her was a family sitting room and then the other was the winter receiving room. At Hermione’s confused look she gave a cool laugh and explained that when someone visited in the summer they took their tea on the patio to enjoy the warm weather, in the fall they used the sunroom where they were out of the elements but still able to see the gardens. Then she explained that during the winter no one wanted to be in the sunroom because it was colder than the rest of the house so they would come to the second sitting room they had walked through, they could see the snow but still be comfortably warm and of course the sunroom was used in the spring. As it was September they were sitting in the sunroom that looked out over the backyard and the gardens.
“Did you wish to speak to me or my husband or both?” Astoria asked as Hermione put her tea together.
“I would like to speak with you both” Hermione said “Is Draco home?”
“He is” She answered “Pippy” The house-elf from before popped in next to them “Tell my husband we have company in the sunroom and to please grace us with his presence”
“Yes ma’am” She squeaked and popped out again. Hermione couldn’t believe how cold Astoria was when she spoke it was hard to imagine any sort of sex between her and Draco.
“Hello” Draco said walking in to the room “How are you, Granger?”
“I’m good” She said.
“Apparently she needs to talk to us about something important” Astoria said leaning back in her chair and crossed her legs.
“What’s going on?” Draco asked “Is it my father, is he okay?”
“It is about your father” Hermione said “And he is fine. He is making really great progress, I am one of his personal healers as you know and he’s been asking about you a lot”
“Oh” Draco leaned back with a sigh “As I have told the others, I don’t want to visit him and that is that”
“You know what’s different between me and the other healers, Draco?” She asked “I care only for my patients and not their selfish family members. He has done so well in his personal therapy that I want to begin family therapy in hopes that maybe he’ll be able to leave the hospital and pick his life back up”
“But I don’t…” He started.
“Yeah” She said “I heard you the first time and I am sure I know why, it’s the very same reason he told me that you won’t come. You hate him for the things that he did in the war and he said that he’s sorry but you are too immature to believe me, aren’t you?”
“Granger…” He started.
“Have good day, Astoria” She said “Draco” She raised her brows at him and walked away.

Hermione walked in to the room that housed the little blonde that used to be her friend, the very friend that she wasn’t sure how to look in the eye anymore. Luna sat against the wall and held her pillow against her chest, whispering to it, Luna raised her eyes to find Hermione standing there and smiled at her. She lowered the pillow from her chest and then lowered it completely before she whispered something to it before placing the pillow near her on the bed and looked back at Hermione.
“Did you get to meet my daughter?” She asked gesturing to the pillow “Her name is…was Dawn and she is perfect”
“Luna” Hermione said “Do you know why you’re here?”
“Yes” She answered “But it wasn’t my fault…I swear to you it wasn’t me”
“Tell me why you’re here” Hermione said around the lump in her throat.
“The Killywitts took my Dawn” She answered “We were hiding in the closet from them but they got in and they took her. I tried, Hermione, I tried to protect her but I couldn’t, I put her down next to me for just an hour or so and fell asleep and when I woke up she was…dead” She dropped her head to her hands “All I have left is this pillow and my memories”
“The report said that you smothered her” Hermione told her “That you held her too tight and smothered her”
“No” Luna said “It was the Killywitts, they followed me from Cuba when I was there investigating the Unknown” She wiped away some tears “Look at my records, Hermione…look at them!” She stood and Hermione drew her wand “I was on my potions for post-partum…please look…I didn’t kill my baby!”
Hermione left the room sooner than she wanted but she couldn’t take it anymore. She leaned against the wall and held her face in her hands, trying to swallow the sobs that tried to force their way out of her throat. This was too much, she looked around her and noted that all the other healers were watching her with knowing concern. She took deep calming breaths and scrubbed her face with her palms before straightening up and walking to the healers desk. She dropped the file that had been in her hand back in to the pile before sitting down heavily and looking at Angelina and raising her brows.
“It’s always hard when it’s a friend” Angelina said knowingly “I had a friend in here right after the war, she was from France and she was here during the battle” She got a far-away look in her eyes “The things that she saw haunted her and she came here for a rest but it was hard talking with her and trying to help her”
“Is she better now?” Hermione asked and saw a pained look enter her friends eyes.
“She killed herself three months after she got out of here” Angelina answered “It was ruled an accidental death actually but I think it was suicide”
“What do you mean?” Hermione asked.
“She jumped from a cliff” Angelina answered “But her parents said that she had been sleeping and had a night terror of death eaters chasing her and ran out the door before they could get to her…according to them she ran straight off a cliff” She looked at Hermione’s face and added “The thing is she suffered from a great many things because of what she witnessed including depression and suicidal thoughts but night terrors never were one of her traumas”
“I’m sorry” Hermione said.
“It will get easier” Angelina promised “Just understand that she is insane and you may not be able to help her work this out…you have to learn that there are some cases you can win and some you can’t”
Hermione listened to her words of wisdom and then went to Lucius’s room. Since they tweaked his potions he was lucid and willing to talk about what happened to him. She had nightmares about what he told her some days but she was happy to learn that his own nightmares were becoming less and less. He was starting to do things he enjoyed like reading the newspaper and bitch about the way the world was becoming shit. She liked to listen to him talk about all the things that bothered him it was a few hours before she entered Snapes room. She found him sitting in his usual chair reading the newspaper. He raised an eyebrow at her when she came in and started tidying up his room, it was something she did when she was upset about something.
‘Do tell what has your knickers in a twist’ He wrote it but when she refused to turn enough to see it he threw the slate at her hitting her in the bum.
“Did you really just throw this at me?!” She snapped and he smirked “You know what…can I tell you something?” She snorted “Of course I can, you can’t speak and your fighting me on relearning words” She laughed when she realized that he was flipping her off.
“Luna Lovegood is here” She said dropping the slate on his lap and then telling him everything that had been said and what had happened. She knew that telling him about another patient was wrong and could cost her a job, a job that she loved at that but she needed extra help and felt that it wouldn’t come from the other healers.
‘What have you learned from your time here, Miss Granger?’ He wrote as she plopped in a chair near his.
“At the hospital?” She asked.
‘From being in the magical world’ He wrote sneering at her.
“You know the sneer loses its fear when you have to write everything down” She commented “I have learned that magic is beautiful, dangerous and must be respected”
‘Not that’ He answered ‘In the magical world everything is possible, even the impossible…come on in your first year you saw a three-headed dog, third year it was a bloody werewolf, your fifth it was Thestrals and what should have been your seventh year…well Voldemort, need I say more?’
“So you think that the Killywitts could be real?” She asked.
‘Miss Lovegood is crazy in the best terms’ He wrote ‘But dangerous, even accidently?’ He shook his head.
“So what do I do?” She asked at a loss.
‘Do as she asked’ He answered then wrote something else ‘Look it all up only facts can show the truth’
“Thank you” She said absently squeezing his hand she looked around the room “God this room is so boring”
‘I know a few ways to make it less boring’ He put his eyebrow up and she laughed.
“Were you always this horny or is this a new thing?” She asked.
‘Not really sure’ He answered looking confused.
“Come on, stud” She pulled him up and pulled him to the bed “You have to go to bed, it’s nearly midnight” He put his hand out and his slate flew in to it and her eyes snapped up to his “You can do magic?!”
‘Yes’ He wrote ‘But I don’t, I don’t want you guys to be even more scared of me…less I choose to make you scared of me’
“Get in to bed” She ordered gently pushing him not ready for him to grab her and pull her down on top of him “Severus!”
‘Join me?’
“Love to” She said “But I have work to do and you need your sleep”
‘I will learn my words’ He wrote ‘If you give me something in return’
“And what is that?” She asked.
‘I relearn my words’ He wrote ‘And you get me out of here, if only for a night to go on a date’
“A date?” She asked.
‘Maybe some sex…’ He smirked and she laughed.
‘’I can’t promise sex but I will go on a date with you” Hermione said “If you relearn the words” She smiled at him and then walked out of his room locking the door in the process. Snape leaned back against the pillow watching her shadow disappear from the window.
“Oh…Hermione G-Grrannger” He spoke slowly, brokenly “I w-will l-learn w-w-w-wordsss qu-ui-I klyyy”

A/N: Ever the intelligent man Severus has already been teaching himself to speak and just like a Slytherin he’s been hiding this fact until it would most suit his needs. Tell me what you think! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
