Hermione's Four Hearts 2

“Alright calm down!”Andromeda yelled to quiet the group that was shouting multiple questions at her all at once. She didn’t really want to deal with this headache but she needed to help Hermione and that meant traveling through spaces that other people occupied. All this drama almost made Andromeda want to wring Hermione’s neck for her actions but she knew in her heart Hermione did what was right. The girl had saved her sisters and even though wary and confused Andromeda was grateful to have them back. She would find out in what capacity they were back when Hermione woke up and explained what she did.

“How do you expect us to calm down when Hermione shows up out of the blue with two strangers and locks all three of them in a room refusing to let any of us enter?!”Molly asked.

“Is Hermione alright?”Fleur didn’t care about the visitors she cared about Hermione’s health.

Andromeda gave her a sad smile.”She has experienced four days of extreme torture. She has a long road ahead of her before she is alright.

“My goddess.”Minerva whispered.

“Who are the people with her?”Nymphadora asked.

“Please refrain from reacting until you hear the circumstances that brought them here.”Andromeda took a second to prepare herself for the noise and spoke.”The two people she brought with her are my sisters Narcissa and Bellatrix.”

Ron shot to his feet.”You left her alone with that mad woman?!

“Undo those wards right now!”Molly demanded.

“How could she bring them into my home?”Bill asked.

“This is my home Willian. You are only here temporally.”Fleur was sick of Bill trying to claim her house and her personally. 

“After we get married it will be my house as well.”Bill told her.

“We are not getting married you moron. We aren’t even dating nor will we ever be in a relationship. I don’t like you and only put up with you because you were assigned here. That being something that changes today. So you have until sundown to pack your shit and get out of my home.”Fleur couldn’t believe how good that felt saying that.

“I don’t know why you are acting like this because we both know that you are madly in love with me. That’s why you begged me to move in here.”Bill argued.

“I’m not going to argue with you.”Fleur smirked when Bill began to grin.”If your belongings aren’t out of my home by sundown I will burn them. The wards will be changed and if you are still within them you will be violently ejected.”

“Anyway can we get back to our unannounced visitors.”Minerva was going to use her authority to keep Bill away from Fleur because she didn’t think he would be deterred from seeking her out even with the wards being changed. Minerva wished that Fleur had told her about the problem sooner so she could have had him reassigned.

“Yeah why would Hermione who is a muggleborn trust the right hand of the man trying to kill off her people?”Nymphadora couldn’t figure that part out.

“That’s actually something I wanted to talk about with you and Fleur Minerva. Bella said that she had been feeling just as insane and manic as she usually was until Hermione kissed her.”Andromeda was cut off by Ron.

“That bitch seduced my girlfriend?! I won’t stand for that!”Ron stood from his seat and marched up the stairs. There was a few seconds of silence followed by a loud bang then sounds of Ron crying hysterically interspaced with screams and whimpers of pain.

“If my son is hurt I’m going to kill your sisters.”Molly threatened as she took off up the stairs.

Andromeda made note to hex Ron later for calling Hermione his girlfriend. Something Hermione was not and corrected the boy every time he tried to claim her.”So Hermione kissed her and Bella said that her mind began to clear. Then once the fog was all gone Hermione pulled back and there was some kind of dark substance running out of her mouth. She borrowed Bella’s wand and cast spells that were unfamiliar to Bella causing the dark liquid to evaporate. After the liquid was gone Bella’s mind reverted back to the clarity she had when she was a teenager and all the years of insanity, belief in pureblood superiority and her obsession with the Dark Lord was gone. Along with her Dark Mark.”

“Her Dark Mark is gone?”Nymphadora didn’t think you could get rid of the tattoo.

“Yes she showed me her arm and it looks like it was never there.”Andromeda confirmed.”I was wondering if either of you had seen or heard of magic like that before?”

Minerva thought about it.”I haven’t but I could look in the restricted section at Hogwarts. They haven’t restricted what I read just what I teach. Though I have to say I’m not surprised that Hermione is the one to achieve something like this.”

“True Hermione is decades ahead of her peers.”Andromeda would expect no less from Hermione.

“I personally have never dealt with or heard of anything like this. Not even when dealing with the most nasty of curses I’ve encountered at the bank.”Fleur hated that she couldn’t help.

“How was Hermione effected by it mom?”Nymphadora asked.

“I don’t know. After she got the three of them settled into the room she warded the door to keep out anyone but me then passed out. Her body is in pretty bad shape. Luckily nothing is broken.”Andromeda was actually surprised nothing was.

“What can we do to help her?”Fleur asked.

“I need to make a trip home to collect some things. I was wondering if you could make them some food while I’m gone so I can bring it up to them when I get back. I also want to ask for some books to read to Hermione while she’s out.”Andromeda knew Hermione would like that.

“Most of my books are in French but I will see if I have some in English.”Fleur would happily lend books to Hermione.

“French is Hermione’s first language. She didn’t actually learn to speak English until she was five years old.”Andromeda told her.

“I didn’t know that.”Fleur wondered why Hermione never mentioned it. Then again they only spoke privately for a few hours. Those were cherished conversations for Fleur.

“Her parents were French. She actually has duel citizenship in France and England.”Andromeda knew that Hermione was proud of her French roots.

“When she wakes up I will have to speak to her about this.”Fleur was very excited to have such a thing in common with Hermione as Fleur took great pride in her home country. The only reason she stayed in England was to fight in the war to help her fellow magical creatures. The fact that Hermione was in the country was just a coincidence. At least that’s what she tried to tell herself.

“And to get her to wake up I need to leave.”Andromeda said.

“We will try and keep everyone away from the door.”Nymphadora didn’t think they would be successful however.

“I know we need to interrogate them but we need to wait to find out what Hermione did first.”Andromeda had a feeling that Hermione’s actions were going to change the tide of the war.

“Agreed. I will send a message to Kingsley and a few others and we will all gather here when they are ready to be questioned.”Minerva wasn’t pleased with some of the people who were going to be there but they were allies.

“Make something high calorie please. Bella is skin and bones and Narcissa is only a little better.”Andromeda was actually going to grab a couple potions for her sisters while she was out.

“I will.”Fleur promised. Watching Andromeda leave the house she sighed.”Now we have to deal with the children.”

Nymphadora laughed.”At least if Hermione is here she can work on your wards to keep Bill and anyone else you don’t want on your property out.”

“True Hermione would probably add some very powerful deterrents.”Minerva could easily see Hermione adding nasty surprises in the wards.

“I hope she wakes up soon.”Fleur was very worried about Hermione.

“She will. She is the strongest person I know. Something like this won’t keep her down.”Nymphadora knew that Hermione would recover. The girl was to stubborn to let anything but death keep her out of the fight.

“We shouldn’t be focusing on Hermione. We should be focusing on making a plan for me to kill the Dark Lord.”Harry said speaking up for the first time in the conversation.

“You think you are capable of killing the Dark Lord?”Fleur asked.

“The prophesy says I will.”Harry said.

“The prophecy doesn’t say your name in it. It doesn’t even give a description of the person who it’s about.”Nymphadora and most of the others didn’t think that the prophesy was about Harry.

“Dumbledore was the one who told me.”Harry flinched back when Nymphadora pulled her wand on him.

“You dare say that man’s name in this house where the girl who suffered the most at his hands is recovering?!”The only thing that stopped Nymphadora from killing the boy was because she didn’t want to hear Molly complaining.

“Dumbledore didn’t make anyone suffer!”Molly said as she made her way into the room with a beaten and bloody Ron. She set him on the couch.”Where is Andromeda? Ron needs a healer.”

“Dumbledore made all of us suffer and Andromeda went to get the things she needs to heal Hermione.”Fleur told her.

“Well someone call her back. Ron is more important than Hermione. He needs to be seen first.”Molly said.

”You honestly think that my mother will ignore Hermione for anyone especially one of your rabble?!”Nymphadora laughed at the very idea. She knew about her mother’s relationship with Hermione and her mother would never put anyone except for her own daughter before her girlfriend. Not that Nymphadora minded the relationship. Hermione treated her mother better than her father ever did and her mother was extremely happy. Her mother’s happiness being all that mattered to Nymphadora. Hermione being such an exceptional person who Nymphadora respected was an added bonus.

“Forget about all that. Let’s get back to me killing the Dark Lord. I should be going on missions. Not Hermione. It isn’t fair that she is allowed to go off on her own and I’m stuck at the Burrow doing nothing.”Harry complained.

“I agree it isn’t fair to Hermione that she has to go off on her own but that is her role in this war. I would take her place if I could but I’m ashamed to admit that I am not as talented as she is.”Minerva would happily go on missions in place of Hermione if she could. She just didn’t know as much about magic as her former student did nor did she have Hermione’s bright mind. Those attributes causing Hermione to play a major role in defeating the Dark Lord. 

“I don’t think anyone is as talented as she is.”Fleur knew she wasn’t.

“If I didn’t have to protect Fleur I could easily take her place.”Bill said reminding everyone he was still in the room.

“You aren’t protecting me you imbecile if anything I’m protecting you.”Fleur had more talent in her pinky finger than Bill had in his whole body.

“Fleur don’t call your future husband names.”Molly scolded.

Fleur rolled her eyes.”I’m going to make some food for the sisters. Maybe by the time I’m done Hermione will be awake.”

“You shouldn’t be giving them anything but stale bread and water.”Ron said crying out when his mother cast a healing spell on him.

“Let me know if you need anything.”Fleur only made eye contact with Minerva and Nymphadora when she made the offer. How she desperately wanted to get rid of the Weasleys and Harry. The boy was basically a member of the red headed family at this point. Looking out the window Fleur guessed there were about six hours until sundown. She would get some help from Andromeda to change her wards. She wanted them to be anti Weasley but she liked the twins and Ginny. Thinking of Ginny made Fleur shake her head. The girl was being shoved at Harry by her mother and she really had no way to escape. Maybe Fleur would mention it to the other people who felt like she did about the Weasleys and Harry. There had to be something they could do. Fleur gave a mental shrug. That wasn’t something she needed to worry about right then. What she needed to worry about was making food for the three women barricaded in one of her guest rooms and then find some books for Hermione. Maybe if Fleur was lucky she would be allowed to read a couple to the girl herself.
