Killywitts:
Killywitts are small demon-like creatures that are attracted to happiness and light. Living off of hatred, guilt and self-loathing they aim to darken the place they are living. It is said that people who also like these things (i.e. Voldemort) can often channel these beings. It is true that it can be done accidently by what muggles would call the seven deadly sins (i.e. Envy, lust, greed...etcetera)
When summoned weather purposely or accidental the Killywitts can and generally will be absorbed in to the body of the person who summoned them. In this state they can do anything that they want including (and most often) murder, torture and hatred all around. They can cling to innocent people and use them to get from one country to another where they can cause more problems. As these creatures live in darkness they are made of such and it will take light, pure light to extinguish their darkness.

Hermione sighed and closed the book that had just come in for her that very day at Flourish and Blotts. She reread the story as she made her way to the Leaky Cauldron where she was meeting Harry and Draco for lunch. She walked in and found both men already there and awaiting her arrival, they both looked extremely uncomfortable with the others closeness. She smiled and sat down across from them and ordered chicken noodle soup with some crackers and a glass of warmed butterbeer. It was almost November and had been unseasonably warm but this particular day had been very cold and she could see her breath. It was a soup kind of day, she used to love when Hogwarts served soup after she had been out in the greenhouses in the middle of winter, it was a very homey feeling to come in and warm up with the soup.
“Hermione” Harry waved his hand in front of her face “Are you in there?”
“Yeah Granger” Malfoy added in “We’ve been talking to you for nearly five minutes and you’re practically asleep”
“Then who is dumber?” She asked “The person not paying attention or the people that have been talking to her for five minutes without noticing her lack of attention?”
“Nice” Harry said “Anyway, Malfoy what do you have planned?”
“Well” He answered looking at Hermione “I am ending my support of that hospital, I will take my father out and give him a suit of rooms at the manor”
“Okay” Hermione looked at him for a moment “What about your aunt or Severus?”
“Severus will come with my father of course but only if you promise to work with them” He answered “I can’t be expected to do everything, I have a business to run, a wife who hates me and of course the family she is desperate to start and I know nothing about healing”
“So basically everything your father has already offered me” She said “Bellatrix should be okay there but I want Luna to come with us”
“Looney ‘I killed my baby’ Lovegood in a house where soon” He made a pained face “There will be a baby?” He scoffed “I don’t think so”
“He has a point” Harry said “It might be too much for her and you are only one person, you can’t take on too much”
“I know” She said “But I can’t leave her in there. If it is one thing that I have learned it’s that they are not healing anyone in there, they are merely calming them down and hoping no one remembers they are there, how long was Severus there before I came in to the picture and started to help him?”
“I don’t know” Harry said “He wasn’t allowed visitors”
“Exactly” She snapped “I feel bad for every one of them I am leaving”
“What are you going to do then?” Harry asked shooting Draco a strange look that Hermione caught but didn’t comment on.
“I don’t know” She pushed her empty bowl away Draco’s eyes lit up suddenly and he looked over at Harry then another strange look from her friend.
“What Malfoy?!” Harry snapped reaching down and rubbing his shin “That is the second time you’ve kicked me!”
“A Rehabilitation Center” He said, flushing slightly at being called out “Granger’s own rehab center”
“My own hospital” She intoned “That’s mental”
“With your healing skills” Draco said “Potter’s fame and my financial help we could have a huge hospital!”
“No” She said “Not a huge one. I want a small personal hospital” She looked off in the distance and thought hard “We could buy a manor house, fix it up and make sure that it is secured completely. I would only hire the best of the best and I wouldn’t allow people to harm my patients” She then shook her head and came back to herself “But that is mental”
“Not really” Harry said looking at Malfoy again who was turning slightly pinker than before. She leaned back and looked under the table just in time to see Draco lightly kick Harry again.
“I have to go” She said with a grin on her face “I need to go see Fred, Angelina should be at work and I need to know what the hell is going on”
“Okay” Harry said keeping his confused gaze on Draco “See you at home”
“Have fun” She winked and walked away.

Hermione walked to the WWW and straight to the flat above it. George was running the store today as Fred had worked the night before, she knocked and walked right in. Years of walking in on various Weasley males in various states of undress had desensitized her to the fact that one may be naked on the other side of the door. Fred looked up from where he was laying on the couch in a pair of sleeper pants and she smiled at the picture before her. Just because she was used to seeing the red-haired men before her naked or half-naked didn’t mean that she couldn’t appreciate the show. Fred had filled out since his days as a lanky teenager and, sick of being harassed by his bigger and older brothers, had started to work out which gave him a rather nice body.
“When you’re done drooling over my delicious body” Fred said with a wink “Would you mind terribly telling me why you are here” He smiled “Unless, of course it is just to look at me then go right ahead”
“I want to know what is going on with Angelina?” She asked “She was horrible at work on Monday and will be lucky if she still has a job...in all honesty Fred” She looked down “I hope she loses not only her job but her right to work as a healer!”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” He said standing quickly and looking at her like she had grown a second head “Angelina never went to work on Monday” He pushed Hermione so that she was sitting down on the couch he had vacated before and joined her “We went to a dinner with her boss on Sunday night celebrating both of them being promoted, we came home around ten went to bed and when we woke up in the morning we were both sick”
“So she Floo’d out?” Hermione asked.
“No” He said “Bridget came to visit looking as bad as we were and said that she would make sure that the people who needed to know that she wouldn’t be in would know”
“Who came in then?” Hermione asked breathing heavily.
“Tell me what happened” Fred demanded. Hermione launched in to a story that she was certain she had told a hundred different times to a hundred different people. He listened intently and shook his head vigorously when something didn’t add up correctly until he finally stood and started pacing.
“You say that she was home the whole time, sick” Hermione said “You and Bridget were too, right?”
“We had muggle food poisoning so it would seem” Fred said “But we took three different potions to get it to stop but it wouldn’t we were throwing up and finally we went to Hogwarts because the waiting room in the family department at Saint Mungo’s was full”
“What did Madame Pomphrey say?” Hermione asked.
“She and Professor McGonagall looked at us” He said “They couldn’t find anything wrong with us and no potion to heal us, they looked for Neville Longbottom to see if he could figure out if it was a plant or whatever but we woke up the next morning completely fine”
“What about Neville?” Hermione asked “Did he figure out if it was a plant or not?”
“That’s the weird thing” He said “No one ever got ahold of Neville” He looked out the window towards Diagon Alley then turned to her quickly “Do you think he could have had something to do with this?!”
“Neville?” Hermione said with a laugh “Really?”
“He’s changed a lot physically” Fred pointed out “Who’s to say his attitude didn’t change?”
“I know it hasn’t” Hermione said but even as the words left her mouth she knew that it wasn’t the truth, Neville had changed a lot even. He was more confident in everything he did, he was sexual and happy and amazing. But did self-confidence lead to something that was basically stealing ones body and making them commit a horrible act?
“So what are you saying has happened?” Fred asked even though she could tell he already knew the answer.
“I think someone posed as you two” She said “And Bridget and I think that they wanted revenge of Severus and possibly others”
“Fred!” George walked in to the flat “Angelina just Floo’d the shop she said that that she has Harry and Malfoy at the hospital but can’t find Hermione and you shut the Floo down so you could nap but you are both needed at the hospital”
Fred rushed in to his room to get dressed and Hermione waited for him mainly because she couldn’t make herself floo to the hospital alone. Why would they need her unless it was to tell her something horrible? In her minds eye she saw them standing over Snapes body, not breathing but still with his death. Her bottom lip quivered and her hands shook as she followed Fred through the floo and to the hospital, down the lift and through the security doors and in to the mental ward. The first person Hermione saw was Draco, he was standing at Harry’s side facing the wall while Harry faced her. His jaw was clenched tightly and his eyes were screwed shut and there was the look of utter pain on his face.
“Harry” She whispered and Draco looked at her.
“Snape wasn’t the only one attacked with that potion” Harry said when Draco looked away again and started breathing heavily.
“Lucius” She breathed, her eyes filled with tears as she ran towards the room she knew almost as well as Snapes. The blonde man laid stiff on his bed eyes closed but moving quickly from side to side but nothing else moved. She sobbed and hyperventilated slightly as she ran her hand down his cold face noting no change in his appearance. She stood and walked towards Bellatrix’s room finding her the same way, Dolohov was the same, Rudolphus LeStrange was the same and when she looked in she found Snape was the same as well.
“How’s Luna?” She asked “Is she like the others?”
“No” Harry said “She’s singing to her pillow”
Hermione shook her head and walked back to Snape’s room and let out an anguished sob when she walked over to him. She knew that he would tell her to stop her sniveling and she tried but was unable to do it, instead she sat near him and took his hand. She raised it to her cheek and held it there whispering against his skin.
“I am so sorry” She sobbed “I’m so sorry. I should have stopped them, I should have fought harder, I’m sorry” She dropped her head on his arm and sobbed quietly. It was some minutes before she heard a commotion coming from the hallway and made her way slowly to see what was happening.
“I didn’t do anything!” Angelina screamed “PLEASE!”
“She was home with me” Fred was fighting against his twin who was whispering to him “Don’t take her!”
“Hermione!” Fred looked at her “Help us”
“I can’t” She hissed angrily “I’m not sure if I believe you”
“It’s me” Fred said searching her face for recognition but only finding cold, hard anger “It’s Fred Weasley...you are like my sister and I love you, Angelina loves you!”
“I’m sorry” Hermione said coldly before Harry and the other Aurors took Angelina and Bridget away presumably to Azkaban until their trials, that is unless Draco lost his mind completely and ordered something far worse for them.
“Need to watch it, Hermione” Luna said from the doorway in to her room “The feeling brought by anger and loss, seems understandable but comes with a cost, allow yourself to give in to your sins and that’s when the Killywitts move in” Her voice had taken on a quiet almost sultry and alluring tone that brought Hermione back to her right mind and sent chills down her spine.
A/N: Shorter than I had planned but I honestly couldn’t think of another say to end this chapter. I have put a few hints in here, did you pick them out? Who is truly responsible for what happened? PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
