The Change

I still don't own, but a girl can wish.

Much love to Bellatrix for being my beta.

B/N: Hey, Guys. Our little Authoress has had a really shitty time over the past few weeks, details aren't for me to disclose, but please, understand that she's under a lot of stress.

Chapter 12


The Order was in session after a call from Arthur was sent out for the members. Severus, Remus and Tonks sat with the rest of them, as to fool them that nothing was wrong.

Severus snorted to himself as Molly sat over in the corner, sobbing. Ron's body had been taken to the hospital to be placed on hold. Finally Molly looked up and wiped her cheeks.

"I don't know what has gotten into Hermione. I would say it is a spell but the way she was acting, it seemed like she had snapped. She is no longer the Hermione we once knew. Her parting words were that he was one out of seven. Which means another one of our children, besides Ginny has crossed over."

Remus looked up. "Molly. Maybe you're just jumping to conclusions. Not one of your children would turn on you, they love you too much."

The redhead looked up with a glare. "Oh, and your an expert now? I don't appreciate how you treated me the other day."


Remus started to growl. "And I don't appreciate you coming into my home and lying to me. You know that the Order intercepts all owls that come in. To have you tell me that Ginny sent you one, that she had seen Hermione out and about. You deserved to have the door slammed in your face."


Arthur stood up. "Please. Stop. Molly, you're as upset as I am, but there is nothing we can do. Ginny is gone, and the only thing we know about Hermione is that she is alive. What are we going to do? We have no idea where Hermione is staying, nor do we know where Ginny is.

“I think Hermione's words, were definitely words of anger. Ron did hit her and track her down. We don't even know if he had taken her this time. We don't know if Hermione is even mentally stable."

Molly looked up again. "Oh she's stable, all right. Her laugh sounded so much like Bellatrix's did at the ministry. My youngest son and daughter are gone. I am slowly losing my family, I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take."

The room looked up as Kingsley walked into the meeting. He looked at Severus out of the corner of his eye. "Ron had been not only tortured but mutilated as well. His manly parts were cut off and it wasn't done by a spell. The wounds on Ron weren't anything that Hermione was capable of doing. Whoever did this, wanted Ron to suffer."


Harry looked up, finally speaking. "But Hermione delivered his body."

Kingsley nodded. "I know this. Perhaps Ron had kidnapped Hermione in the time he was gone and held her against her will. None of the magical spells that had been used on Ron matched her signature."

"Then who?" Arthur questioned.

Kingsley sighed. "We couldn't pick up the signature. Whoever did this blocked it well. Severus, was there any word in the ranks about this happening?"


Severus shook his head. "No. Not one. I would have stated if I had heard something."

Fred stood up. "I say we get ready to battle and surprise them. They killed our younger brother. Who will die next? I think it is safe to say, Hermione has crossed over."

Severus started to chuckle. "You are forgetting one thing. Voldemort will not allow a muggle born into his ranks. As Kingsley said, Hermione wasn't able to perform the spells and her signature wasn't there. Perhaps Ron did take Hermione and she felt the need, even though he had wronged her, to bring his body back. I will keep an ear out." He grabbed his arm in mock pain. "Excuse me, he calls."

"Let me walk you out Severus." Kingsley remarked and with a nod the two walked out.

****************************************************************************


When they were far enough away from the house, Kingsley turned. "I removed your magical signature myself, Severus, so that is not an issue. Just tell me honestly, was Hermione in the room?"

"No. She was outside with Lucius. She was the one who offered to bring his body back. I see her thinking on that. Had it been me or Lucius, they would have reacted differently. I must go and report what I have heard."

Kingsley touched his shoulder. "Tell her I am sorry, Severus. Tell her that I didn't believe that Ron was able to do those things."

Severus nodded. "She knows but I will tell her the same. I will be in contact soon."

*****************************************************************************

After Severus had apparated to Malfoy Manor, he quickly gave the information he had heard. Narcissa then told him that Hermione had went back home a few hours before, leaving the wizard to floo back to his manor.

***************************************************************************


Severus walked into her room to find her lying on the bed, staring out the window. "Love?"

She turned over smiling. "Welcome home. Was there any trouble?"

"No." He then undressed and climbed into bed behind her, explaining the meeting and what Kingsley had asked him to say.

"I know. I appreciate him being worried. I don't hold anything against him. I'm just glad you and Lucius got to me before Ron was able to do what he wanted."

"He didn't touch you?" Severus asked, his mouth next to her ear.

Hermione rolled over. "No. He didn't. I wouldn't allow him to. You, on the other hand, I have missed."

*****************************************************************************


Their lips met in a soft kiss, Hermione opening for him instantly. Severus deepened the kiss and ran his hand up and down her side, every so often gently brushing her breast.


Suddenly his head dropped back as he moaned. Hermione had taken him in her hand and was stroking gently. She licked his neck as her hand continued to move, never speeding up her gentle strokes. "Damn, Love." he panted and then looked in her eyes.

Hermione smirked and rose up, reaching across him to the stand. She used one hand to flick open a bottle of oil and she handed it to him. He held it as her oiled hand, grasped him again, causing his hips to arch towards her.

She ran her hand up and down his length, stopping every few strokes to caress his sac. Hermione looked up with a smile. "I want to try something different tonight, Severus."


"What's that?" he panted, his hips arching up.

"I want you to take me from behind."

****************************************************************************


Severus froze and his eyes met hers. "Are you sure?"

She nodded. "Yes. I am sure. Please Severus."


"Roll over then, my pet. I have to get you ready."


***************************************************************************

She wasted no time in rolling over, turning her head to the side. Severus spread her thighs and dipped his finger in the bottle of oil. "Try to relax."

He slowly slid his oiled finger into her tight bud, moaning as he did so. Before long she had loosened enough for him to add one then two fingers more. He moved them all around, coating her insides and then pulled out, smirking at her whine. "Get ready love, you want to be lying down or on your knees?"

"Knees." she panted and then got up.

"Get ready then."

****************************************************************************

Hermione arched as he pushed inside her. Severus moaned and grabbed her hips. "So tight." he panted.

She could only pant in pleasure and agreement as Severus slowly pushed in and out of her.

"Faster..." she moaned after a while.

"No."

"Damn it, Severus. Faster."

"No."

He slid his hand around in front of her and started flicking her clit. It took Hermione less than two minutes to throw her head back screaming in pleasure. Severus jerked out of her and lay down on the bed, panting.

He felt the rush of wind from a cleaning charm and then he moaned as Hermione took hold of his still hard member. "Tell me what to do, Severus."

"Tighter, stroke harder and faster. Play with my balls."

Hermione did as he asked and soon Severus arched up off the bed, cumming in streams. Hermione held him till he stopped twitching then cast another cleaning charm. The two quickly fell asleep, not hearing Ginny's screams of pleasure as Draco came deep in her body.
