Chapter 16
Severus and Hermione returned to the Royal Castle. After a week of staying in bed, Severus was back to full strength and finally able to get out of bed. Hermione had laughed herself silly when he had jumped from bed the day she said he was able to get up. That had cost her of course. Not that she had complained. Hermione was currently sitting in her study looking over some papers.
“Hermione, what’s wrong?” Severus asked as he caught the angry fire that was flashing in her eyes.
“Voldemort has gone too far this time. ROSE!” Hermione bellowed.
“Mistress? Is something wrong?” Rose asked in fear and confusion.
“I want you to floo Nathan and Roman. Tell them to get here in half an hour. Now.” Hermione ordered in a somewhat calmer voice.
The elf knew then why her mistress had yelled. Something was wrong. Horribly wrong. The elf nodded and disappeared. Severus slowly approached his Queen and lover.
“Love, what is it? You never yell at the house elves,” He asked gently.
“Wait till Roman and Nathan arrive. I don’t want to repeat myself on this.” She answered through gritted teeth.
Severus nodded. He sat down on the sofa as Hermione walked to the window and stared out over the grounds. The night before a rain storm had swept through and was still going strong. The lighting flashed, illuminating Hermione in it’s flash, followed by a loud rolling thunder clap.
‘What is going on? I have never seen her this angry before. Not even when she punched Malfoy in her third year. Whatever it is, it must be bad.’ Severus thought as he watched the love of his life stare out the window.
“Your majesty? You summoned me?” Roman asked as he stepped out of the floo.
Before Hermione could answer, Nathan appeared right behind Roman. Hermione told the men to have a seat and then summoned some drinks. Rose appeared with some hot tea as well as a tumbler of Fire whisky for her Mistress.
“Thank you Rose. I apologize for yelling at you,” Hermione said gratefully as she saw the tumbler.
“No needs to apologize Mistress,” The tiny elf beamed.
Hermione smiled. The elf bowed then popped out of the room. Hermione quickly downed the whisky, then sat beside Severus. She poured herself a cup of tea then began speaking.
“I called you two here because Voldemort has just gone too far. I received a letter today from my Aunt Livia. A group of Death Eaters attacked and killed my cousin Octavian. He was in Milan meeting with some members of the Ministry stationed there. They were driving back to Rome, when Death Eaters attacked their car. Octavian was severely injured and died two days later at the royal palace,” Hermione explained.
“Oh no. I’m so sorry Hermione,” Roman said sadly.
“Has your grandmother been told?” Nathan asked.
“Not yet. I flooed Aunt Livia and Uncle Aramanno and told them not to tell her yet. I’ll be telling her later this evening after dinner,” Hermione sighed.
“What are you going to do?” Severus questioned.
“I have an idea. Roman, I want you to get the head of the Aurors and tell him to come here in two weeks. Nathan, go to Albus and tell him. I would like for him to be at the meeting as well. It will be at 7 on Wednesday, two weeks from now,” Hermione instructed. Roman and Nathan nodded.
“Is there anything you need Your Majesty?” Roman asked.
“Not at the moment. If Voldemort is foolish enough to try and attack this castle, it will be his funeral,” Hermione answered, her voiced laced with venom.
The two men nodded. They finished their tea then left to fulfill her orders. Severus reached over and pulled Hermione into his arms. Hermione then broke down. She clung to him as tears of anger and pain fell from her eyes. All Severus could do was hold her and let her draw on his love for her.

“It has been done my Lord,” Bellatrix said as she kneeled before Voldemort.
“Excellent. Now we will finish this once and for all. I will then be in control of the Wizarding world. Call our allies. We will begin our final preparations. Soon, the final battle will take place and we will be victorious!” Voldemort ordered with an evil smile.
Bella smiled and nodded eagerly. She turned and rushed out of the room. Voldemort stood from his throne and exited the room. He walked down the hall and entered the study. There sat Ron, Lucius, and Narcissa.
“My most faithful. I have a little mission for you,” Voldemort said with a sadistic smile.
“What is it My Lord?” Ron asked.
“It’s something you three will enjoy immensely.” Voldemort smiled.

Later that evening, Adrienne sat at the dinner table and studied her granddaughter and Severus. She knew something was wrong from the second she entered the castle. A feeling of foreboding and sorrow filled the air. Finally, she had had enough waiting.
“What is going on here? I know something is wrong, so stop putting it off Hermione and tell me,” Adrienne sighed as she sat her silverware down on the table.
“Very well. Grandmother, I received a letter from Aunt Livia today. Octavian is dead.” Hermione stated.
“What! Who did it?” Adrienne demanded as she jumped to her feet.
“We know they were Death Eaters. We have yet to find out who specifically,” Hermione answered sadly.
Adrienne walked from the room. Hermione and Severus stood up and followed her. They found her in the living room, on the sofa crying. Hermione walked over and wrapped her arms around her grandmother. The two women held each other as they cried. Severus turned and quietly exited the room.
“Does Master Severus needs anything?” Ivy asked.
“No thank you Ivy. Not unless you can tell me the names of the Death Eaters who killed Hermione’s cousin.” Severus sighed.
“That’s somethings I cant’s do,” Ivy said.
“I know. Would you please send some hot tea and crumpets up to my room? I have a feeling Hermione and Adrienne need this time alone together,” Severus replied.
“Yes Master Severus,” Ivy said.
Severus cast one last look at the closed living room door before turning and heading upstairs. He knew if Hermione needed anything from him, she would come to him. He honestly had no idea how to help her with this.

At Hogwarts, Draco sat in the Gryffindor common room watching the rain fall against the glass. For the last few days, he had felt something was wrong. Terribly wrong. Ginny walked over and sat beside him.
“You all right?” She asked gently.
“I don’t know. I feel like something’s about to happen. Something bad,” He answered.
“Don’t worry. You have Harry, the other Gryffindors. You also have me,” She said as she reached over and took his hand.
“Ginny?” Draco asked in hope, hoping she was going to say, what he thought she was going to say.
“Draco, I like you. I liked you even before I found out who’s side you were really on. What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m falling in love with you,” She said with a nervous smile.
Draco blinked at her. Then he did what he had been wanting to do since his fourth year. He reached over, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her. The kiss was sweet and tender. Ginny froze for a second, before responding. She wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his blonde locks. A few minutes later they pulled apart.
“I’ve been wanting to do that for sometime,” He gasped.
“Me too,” She giggled.
“It’s about damn time!” Harry exclaimed as he walked over.
“Harry leave us alone,” Ginny moaned as she blushed slightly.
“Shove off Harry.” Draco said in a joking manner.
“I thought for a while that I was going to have to lock you guys in a closet or something. I mean you two were skirting around each other, not to mention the tension I felt whenever I was sitting in between you guys.” Harry replied with a chuckle.
Ginny and Draco just shook their heads as they joined Harry and began laughing as well. The three friends then headed over to the table where their books and homework lay scattered around. As they worked , Draco was unable to shake the feeling that something was wrong.
‘I just hope this feeling is wrong. I wish Severus was here,’ He thought as he began on his Transfiguration homework.
