Saving Brothers

Chapter 22: The Storyteller

*A/N I do not own any of the stories of the book 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'.*

It has been weeks since Hermione was attacked. She has not woken up yet but Madam Pomfrey said that it will take time since she has so much to recover from. Ginny and the others visit her every day. Sirius visits her twice even sometimes even more when he can. Everyone around school heard about the incident and it was the talk of the school. Everyone was watching Ginny from a far to see if she was going to be attacked next but some of the rumors were that it was Ginny that attacked Hermione.

Ginny walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down annoyed already and it was not even noon yet.

"GGGRRR! Can't people just mind their own business and leave me alone." Ginny said loud enough so that everyone around her could hear her.

Ginny was tired of the stars and whispers. She finally knew how Harry felt when everyone was talking about him behind his back in his fourth and fifth year. Thinking of Harry and the others made her sad and upset. She did miss them a lot. She wonders if they realized that they are missing or is time correcting it self now that they don't know that any of this happening.

"Don't worry Ginny. If anyone bothers you they are going to have to deal with the Marauders. Hermione and you are like a sister to us and we will protect our family." James stated putting his arm around her to confert her.

Lily walked into the Great Hall and she looked tired. Lily have been helping Madam Pomfrey with Hermione. She wanted to make sure that they have done everything they can to help Hermione with her healing process.

"How is she?" Remus asked.

"She is still resting. But she is doing well." Lily said.

"Do you know when she will wake up?" Alice asked.

"No we do not know. It's like she is fighting something with in herself." Lily said.

Everyone was worried about Hermione and the Gryffindor were effected by it. They were not their happy loud selves, knowing that one of them are in the Hospital Wing in critical condition. That is what Ginny loved about this time was that everyone from a house were like family and when something positive or negative happens they stick together and get through it like a team. Ginny wished that it was like that in the future. It's like the war makes the school even worse where you can't trust everyone.

They ate their breakfast in silence and then went to see Hermione. When they walked into the room they saw two girl, one with long blonde hair sitting beside Hermione reading a book out loud to her. The other one was Onyx Runne.

"Pandora don't forget my favorite one." Onyx said sitting on the opsite side of Hermione.

" I won't Onyx. Here's the next story Hermione. 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune' 'High on a hill in an enchanted garden, enclosedby tall walls and protected by strong magic, flowed the Fountain of Fair Fortune.

Once a year, between the hours of sunrise and sunset on the longest day, a single unfortunate was given the chance to fight their way to the Fountain, bathe in its water, and receive Fair Fortune forevermore.

On the appointed day, hundreds of people traveled from all over the kingdom to reach the garden walls before dawn. Male and female, rich and poor, young and old, of magical means and without, they gathered in the darkness, each hoping that they would be the one to gain entrance to the garden.' " Pandora started to read.

"Onyx what are you doing here? Who are you?" Remus asked. He did not know who the blonde hair girl was.

"Remus, this is Pandora. Pandora and I wanted to come visit Hermione. She has always been a good friend to us and we wanted to keep her entertained by reading her a story." Onyx said.

Pandora looked up and Ginny looked right into those beautiful blue eyes. Those eyes looked so familiar. Then it clicked when she heard her talk.

"You know that she can hear us talking to her while she is asleep." Pandora said dreamly.

Ginny was face to face to Luna's mother. She was beautiful. Ginny remember Luna telling her stories about her mother when they were at school together. She was so happy that she got to get a chance to get to know Pandora. It will make her feel conected to Luna just like how she feels conected to Neville when she hangs out with Alice. Pandora looked likes just like Luna in the future. They could be twins just like how everyone said that Harry and James were just a like.

"How can you know that she can hear you? She is unconscious not asleep." Sirius asked confused.

"It's just a feeling. She can hear us and hopefully she will remeber everything she hears when she wakes up." Pandora said smiling.

"Thanks for keeping Hermione company. Would you two like to stay and we all could keep her company together." Ginny suggested.

"Not thanks. We have been here long enough. Don't worry Hermione we will be back to finish the story to you tomorrow morning." Onyx said looking at Hermione on the last part before leaving.

They all sat around her. No one said anything. They just looked around the room. Lily was making potions for Hermione to keep herself busy. Ginny sighed and said,

"Do you think we should try talking to her?"

"Maybe but won't we look crazy if we do?" James asked.

"I say we should do it. Just in case she can hear us. I would like to hope that she can hear us. Don't you?" Lily said bring the potions over to the table beside Hermione's bed.

"Here goes nothing. Hey Hermione. So we are here to visit you. It's me; Sirius, James, Remus, Ginny, and Lily. You haven't missed a lot yet. The teachers are trying to help find cures to help you heal and the classes have been kind of slack off class because of it. The headmaster is trying to find out who did this to you. We all miss you so much. Please Hermione come back to us." Sirius said. "Come back to me." He whispered into her ear.
