year 2
The rest of the summer passed without incident hermione still slept with sam sometimes but only when dean and john wanted a night alone. They moved and did what they had to till it came time to get hermione’s school supplies but this time she just had them owl ordered to her it saved everyone a lot of time and energy. The boys all lectured her about this year told her they didn’t want to hear about one toe being out of line.
She nodded and listened to each lecture promising each of her boys that she wouldn’t put herself in danger this year. They had a small birthday party for her since her birthday would happen while she was at school. Hermione was actually excited to be going back to school and see her friends.
Waving goodbye to her boys on the platform she rushed into the train and quickly found Draco’s compartment she saw a few of her fellow Slytherins but didn’t bother with them she jumped up sitting by her best friend she hugged him and draco hugged her back.
“Its good to see your ok mia what where you thinking following those bumbling idiots around like that?” he asked
“Had to make sure they didn’t get themselves killed now didn’t i?” she asked
He snickered along with the other Slytherins.
They settled into the ride and hermione leaned against draco as he explained the book he was reading to then they both read it silently. Hermione waited to see the boys but when they never showed up she figured they weren’t aloud to talk to her anymore.
Oo0o0o0o
Hermione frowned something wasn’t right the boys weren’t at the feast either. She tried not to let it bother her and focus on her food but as time went on she got more and more worried she noticed her head of house wasn’t at dinner either but that was normal sometimes he just couldn’t leave his potions or preferred to eat alone. What shocked her was when professors Dumbledore and Mcgonagall jumped up leaving the feast she hoped the boys were ok.
It wasn’t until the next morning she heard from them she saw them at breakfast and marched over to the tale not caring about her house being different she sat across from them.
The boys looked up and smiled at her “Hey mione.” “hey mia.” They said but there smiles dropped when they saw her frown
“Just what the bloody hell happened to you two?” she asked
They both shared a look then looked back at her “we um we crashed dads flying car into the whompimg willow.” Ron whispered
Hermione’s eyes widened and it took everything in her not to scream what at her two friends. But she held her tongue. “ why the hell where you driving your fathers car and not on the fucking train?” she whispered
“The barrier wouldn’t let us through we couldn’t get to the train.” Harry whispered
“and you two idiots didn’t think to wait for rons parents?” she hissed both boys winced they knew she’d be angry, but they knew better than to hide it from her it’ll be all over school soon.
“We know it was stupid, but we didn’t think and then we lost control when we were landing and the whomping willow was just there.” Ron said
Hermione shook her head “your both morons.” She hissed and stood going back to her table not wanting to talk to them any longer she sat by draco and fixed herself a plate ignoring all the questions eating.
Hermione didn’t speak to either boy for two weeks she went on with her school work and did her detentions from her head of house it wasn’t until the first attack did, she talk to them.
Hermione sat outside when the boys sat beside her she looked at them “Do you think the teachers will find this thing before a student is taken?” she asked them.
“I hope so.” Harry said quietly
Hermione rubbed her friends back “We know it wasn’t you harry it couldn’t have been right Ronald?”
“Of course, mate there’s no way it was you.” Ron said
Hermione rolled her eyes at ron and hugged harry, don’t worry harry everything will be ok.” She said
But it wasn’t a couple months went by and students started to be petrified the school was on the verge of closing and hermione was scared this thing was attacking muggleborns and she was one, she made sure to never leave her common room without one of her friends. But today she had to go to the library to return a book before she was late and she borrowed a mirror from Penelope clearwater a prefect Ravenclaw and both girls used the mirror to ease their way around the corners once safely in the library they did what they had to returned the book and hermione did a little research like she would if it had been a hunt finishing up just an hour before the first quidditch match of the season hermione clutched the paper in her hands once again using the mirror but she froze as they rounded the corner to the dungeons and her eyes met a pair of glowing yellow eyes and everything went dark.

Hermione groaned softly as everything came back in focus and she blinked around she saw her head of house as well as the headmaster and professor Mcgonagall.
She blinked they all seemed relieved when she opened her eyes and looked at them. “Hermione my dear how are you feeling?” Dumbledore asked her.
“Really stiff and thirsty.” She said hoarsely
Mcgonagall quickly went and got her some water
“I was petrified wasn’t i?” she whispered as she was handed the water and she sipped it her head of house helping her since her hands were shaking slightly.
“Yes, hermione young Penelope thankfully was able to get madam princes attention. You’ve been petrified for two months.” Dumbledore told her
Her eyes widened “t…two months?” she whispered and looked at her head of house “Don’t worry they know I made a trip and told them in person.” He said
She swallowed finishing off the water.
“It seems though once again you helped Mr. Potter save the school.” Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling hermione looked at him. “How did I do that professor?” she asked
“Your research young Mr. potter found it in your hand, and he saved the school once again you three saved the day.” He said
“I… I was going to give that to Professor Snape I swear I had no intention of going off and playing hero.” She whispered
“We know hermione you aren’t in trouble.” Snape said gently
“As soon as Madam Pomphrey clears you, you may join us for the leaving feast.” Dumbledore said
Hermione nodded and looked to Professor Snape he pressed her small silver phone into her hand “Go on we’ll give you some privacy.” He said and the professors left Snape closing the curtains she could hear him tell the school healer to give her a second.
Hermione dialed johns number quickly and pressed it to her ear.
John picked up on the second ring “Is there news about our girl Severus?” he asked quickly and hermione guessed they had corresponded regularly while she was petrified.
“Johnny.” She said
John sobbed in relief.
“Mia baby your ok.” He said
“Yea johnny im ok I promise I didn’t go looking for this I was just returning a book to madam prince before it was late.” She said
“I know baby I know your head of house told us what happened we’ve been so worried.” He said.
She smiled watery “I love you johnny I’ll see you tomorrow evening, and I’ve got to let he school nurse give me a check up then I’ll see you as soon as possible I might ask Professor Snape to bring me home tonight I miss my boys.” She said
“we miss you too baby.” He said softly ‘You be sure to get home as soon as you can cause you aren’t getting out of my sight for a while you hear me young lady” he said
Hermione giggled “I love you johnny.” She said
“I love you too mia.” He said
Hermione smiled and hung up just as the school nurse walked in and gave her a brief smile.
“Lets get you out of here.” She said

Hermione ran into the great hall and was immediately surrounded by harry ron and draco all three boys hugging her tightly before draco drug her over to the slytherin table and the rest of her fellow house mates smiling at her and patting her back.
Dumbledore got up and did his thing once again he awarded points to her harry and ron, but this time Gryffindor won the house cup. The feast ended on a high note as harry hugged Hagrid when he returned.
