Chapter 11
Harry was in the hospital for 4 days and Hermione had been with him all the time. An entourage of visible and invisible beings had been on guard all the time. The interrogation did not lead to whom or why these attacks were taking place. The only true thing was that Hermione was the target.
Hermione was getting suffocated on all this security and protectiveness. No one was paying attention, she thought, to the fact that she was under more stress worrying for everyone except her. Faol did notice and watched her like a hawk.
It was worse than the war. In the war she knew who was her enemy and planned some kind of action for a possible outcome. Now they are lurking in the shadows and the attacks were random and inconsistent. She knows that she was protected but she is not concern with her safety but the safety of the others that are with her. It's been only a few weeks but she was starting to warmed up to her father, brother, grandfather and uncle. In no way, shape or form to her pushy, self center, insufferable grandmothers. They were annoying.
She had endure meetings with the Ladies she enjoyed those. The Ladies were incredibly cunning, warm, funny, intelligent and mischievous. This Ladies could run the world if they wanted too. They planned on changes and set a goal and ways to achieved them using their husbands or influences with other witches. She called them the silent force. They were respected and every where they choose to set their meetings were received and served with VIP preference and service.
Between schedules for shopping, tea parties, history, society and fairy protocol classes which she enjoyed when Cian or her grandmothers wasn't giving them. Even with her compliance she felt that they want more of her and she was starting to pile up her emotions, it was too much too soon.
She knew that she was never alone except on the garden and even there she knew that her grandmother was keeping an eye on her. But in the garden she could relax, she could think and enjoy the silence and peace.
She used the pocket dimension more and more this days. She could lose herself in the peace and quiet that the place brings. Queen Mauve notices her escapades and set a timer for 3 minutes in the outside world so she have to return. More and more she was retreating to herself. Hermione was a time bomb that could explode anytime.
Faol had suggested that she goes to a mind healer so she could let out and talk with someone without judging. That was more difficult said than done.
Camilo enjoyed Hermione's company and they started to know each other. He knows that her mind was overwhelmingly busy trying to figuring out how to please and protect her friends and family. There were times that he followed her to the pocket dimension to make sure she was ok.
He had seen her conjure the memory charm and saw her mesmerized with her mother's image and voice. Sometimes he just keeps quiet watching both of them. They looked so much alike. Both beautiful and he felt honor to have them in his life. They were both so strong and fragile at the same time. They love unconditionally and give it all.
He had notice Hermione retrieving more and more in the garden but he felt that this was the only place that Hermione really felt free even for a short time, where her mind just let go from all the pressures from the grandmothers and society were imposing on her. Here he saw her smile with ease not force one she showed on the outside world. She was still mourning and adjusting. If only he knew how to fill that whole, so his daughter could be happy and content.
Camilo thought that Faol's suggestion to a mind healer need to be considered. He thought of his old friend Nabeu, an elder werewolf and Faol's grandfather. Maybe in his castle Hermione could find herself again. Nabeu was no mind healer but he knows how to deal with trouble teens. Yes he will prepare everything, it will be difficult to be separate from her since he just got to know her but she was on a very thin line of a breaking point and something must be done.
Camilo went out of the garden to find Mauve and the rest of the family to explain his plans for Hermione. He hopes for no oppositions to it. He found everyone in the kitchen taking some tea and chatting.
"Hello, everyone, we have a delicate situation to discuss." He looked at everyone and continues "Hermione needs a break; she is a time bomb ready to explode. I know that she need to have this classes and that have to be prepare for society in both realms, but we have to be aware that she is also in danger. Being who she is, she is trying to please everyone and formatting a plan of some sort to have each and every one of us protected." He smiled remembering the bubble she did at the cementery. "For her to be "normal" she needs a place to think and organized her thoughts, so I want to send her to Nabeu's castle"'
Everyone started to protest until a voice was heard.
"Why you are sending me away? Didn't you promise that you will never leave me? YOU WERE LYING, YOU WERE LIKE ANYONE ELSE ALWAYS LOOKING TO USED ME AND LEAVE ME. Hermione yelled. Before she storm out of the kitchen Luna hit her with the petrifying spell.
"People, you will never learn" said Luna, "Hermione had confidence issues like any other teen and you all forget that she need to be informed and explained why before she makes the decision not you. She is the one affected and all of you only think what's best but you forget that even with all the love that you have for her, she is a control freak and needs to be the one that make that final decision." Turning to Hermione she said "I know that you can hear me Hermione, I will lift the spell and you will hear the reasoning behind this decision. I know that you feel hurt and betrayed but are nothing like that we are concerned of your health but especially your mental health. Finite"
Hermione blinks and seats. "Thank you Luna" she sighs and turned to look at everyone. All have concerned faces with watery eyes.
"Maya, we know that you are trying to please everyone and its eating you up. We also know that you are worried with the attacks and you are trying to figure out how to end them." Harry said getting close to her. "We love you so much, neither one want to lose you, that is how important you are to us." He caressed her cheek and wiped her tears. "Your father is right you need a break, but need to be an unconventional one, one that challenges you physically and intellectually" he hugged her and step aside for her brother to get closer.
"Angel, we want you healthy, strong, vibrant, confident, opinionated, hardheaded and stubborn. I want back that easy wonderful smile of yours or that snort uncontrollable laugh that is contagious. Want to see your eyes sparkle again when you solve something difficult or when you see an ancient book that you could not wait to read. I want my baby sister back, the one that wants me to cuddle with her, that will tell me that a guy is courting her before father so I can set him straight." Hermione smile at Adrian and he continues "the one that challenges me and hex me when I try to put her on a broom to fly with me, the one that get so absorb in a book that hex me because I took it from her to get her attention. I want the sister I love".
Hermione hugged Adrian tightly and whisper. to his ear "I love you and I want to be that" then she turned to her father and said "Dad I want to be me again, could you please help me? That was all it takes for Camilo to hugged her tightly.
"All will be fine my Angel, you will be ok we will take care of everything, that doesn't signify that you will be alone because your guards will be with you, they will not interfere with anything unless there is danger. But I promised you everything will be ok, I love you".
"Ok, where I am going?'
"You will be going to Nabeu Greyback's castle, he is an old friend of mine and he is..." Hermione interrupted him.
"Faol's grandfather, I know, I never met him but he talk about him"
"That grumpy, opinionated, petulant, argumentative, disagreeable old hag?" said Queen Mauve.
"Hum Hum, Oh Mauve I didn't know you love me so to give me so many adjectives" said Nabeu Greyback. "You are as beautiful as ever" he said taking Mauve's hand and kissing her back.
"Humf" Mauve responded, "with me that don't work Nabeu and you know it" she said removing her hand from his grip. "You are insufferable" with that she gets out of the kitchen.
"What a woman! I only live for another opportunity with her" he look around him and everyone was looking at him like he had grown a pair of antlers. "What? We were lovers some time ago, I thought everyone new. She loves doggy style" at the horror expression of all he just laugh very hard that did the trick every one start laughing with him.
