When Tragedy Strikes

Jessie Flower

A/n: A lot of people reviewed saying Harry and Hermione didn't react strong enough, but there is a reason for that, believe me there is a reason.

Oh and every time there is a, --- that's just going into either the past to show you the whole scene or going back to present time.

~*~*~

The Next day Issac woke up in a room he wasn't familiar with as soon as he walked out of the room he recognized the hallways as Remus, Kellie, Harry and Hermione's house. Issac walked down stairs and saw Kellie.

"'Lo Issac."

"That's really freaky you know your supposed to be blind right?" Kellie just chuckled.

"Morning Issac." Hermione said. "Dumbledore said your allowed to stay here for a week but then you have to go back to Hogwarts."

"Um, Hermione when are you having the fu-funeral?" Issac asked.

"Thursday, your grandparents wanted to make all the arrangements so I don't know anything about it yet." Hermione told him. Issac nodded. "Hallie will be here after I come home from work, I'm going to try and come here for Lunch, okay?"

"Yeah." he mumbled.

"Don't be too much trouble for Kellie."

"Oh nonsense, no body's too much trouble for me, remember I had to deal with the marauders when I was kid." Hermione smiled and apparated out.

Hermione changed her clothes in the bathroom, she had to go to the crime scene today. Wore black pants and a black turtle neck. She grabbed her robes in which had an Orange wand on it, indicating to any wizard she came across she was a detective. She grabbed her suitcase and headed out.

"Sandra, I'll be out for the day, I'm visiting the crime scene, if Issac Weasley or the Longbottoms call contact Harry, if it's anyone else you can just write up a message for me." The secretary nodded. Hermione figured this had to be one of the hardest parts of her job.

As Hermione walked up to the house she put on her gloves. The house was basically burnt to the ground. Hermione wasn't sure he'd get everything she needed from the house which scared her, it meant she'd have to observe the bodies, an right now just looking at the house brought tears to her eyes. Hermione walked through the rummage that used to be the hallway and walked into the work den, which was where the fire was supposed to have had originated. She saw a match and picked it up and put it in a blue gel. The name 'Trix' Floated above it. Hermione sighed, why couldn't it have given me a ful name not some stupid nickname. She looked to grounf for any more clues, she saw three pairs of footsteps that weren't her. One had zigzag soles, another with straight lines and the last one looked like a high heel imprint. Hermione took out her wand and said "Spectaculum Dispono" The High heels glowed a vibrant blue color to the desk. The Zigzags abruptly started to glow a vibrant red color and next to the high heels was wand that was snapped in half. Hermione recognized it as Ron's wand. Hermione wiped away a tear that reached her cheek. She wiped it away.

Bellatrix walked into the den. "Lun-" Ron stopped as he looked up and saw Bellatrix. He grabbed his wand and walked up to her. "Leave" he growled pointing his wand at her. She laughed.

"No. Expellarimus." She said, and snapped his wand in half. Just as he was about to punch her, she said. "Reducto!", which threw him into the wall. "Oh, Potter isn't going be too happy with me now is he?"

---

Hermione looked at the straight lined prints that had abruptly started glowing going towards the high-heels behind the high-heels backs and seemed to have made the high-heels falter in their balance. The high-heels then seems to drag the straight lines to the wall, where straight lines lost their wand. Hermione recognized the wand as Luna's and put it with Ron's broken wand in the suit case.

---

Luna heard some commotion in the work den and saw Ron get thrown into the wall. Luna threw a spell at the woman whom she recognized as the one who killed Harry's god father. Bellatrix almost fell to the ground but she caught herself and turned around to Luna she sneered and punched her then, grabbed her by the neck and dragged her against the other wall. Bellatrix put her wand to Luna's stomach and yelled, "Crucio!" Luna screamed in pain dropping her wand in the process.

---

Hermione noticed the Zigzags were finally moving up behind the heels, very quickly. The heels turned around and they did something to fall on the floor where the match had been found, the hells then walked out of the room.

---

Ron got up enraged that someone hurt Luna. Bellatrix heard his footsteps making her turn around only to get punched, and she scratched him in return on the cheek. She grabbed a match on his desk, he yanked her arm away from it, but it was too late she had grabbed the match they both fell down. Bellatrix stunned him, it would ware out in a short while so she lit the match and lit it on fire, She locked the door and slammed it shut.

---

Hermione took notes and pictures of the shoes. She touched the spot where Ron's body had been found and she cried. Her whole body shook as she cried. She felt a hand on her should and looked up to see Harry she abruptly hugged him. Harry stroked her hair feeling and silently cried, burying his face into her hair, so no one would see the tears.

"Come on Hermione, it's lunch time." Harry said. Hermione nodded and wiped the tears from her face. Hermione's eyes lingered on the traditional Weasley clock, Ron's and Luna's faces had disappeared, but It still seemed to work as it showed Hallie was at the Longbottoms and Issac was at the Lupin-Potter-Granger's, her eye looked at the twins which showed them to be at Weasley Haven.

"Weasley Haven?" Hermione questioned aloud, Harry looked at where she was looking.

"That's what we say to floo here, does that mean their in here."

"No, because there is a home, what that mean?"

"They went to a safe haven, I'll stop at the burrow and see what it is." Harry told her. "Why don't you go home and rest."

"I can deal with it!" Hermione argued.

"Hermione." Harry said gently. "Please, just let me deal with it." Hermione reluctantly nodded. They apparated to the house . Hermione saw Issac eating grilled cheese.

"How'd you-"

"Aunt Kellie made it for me!" Issac said. "Oh An Aunt Ginny called, she said she'd drop Hallie off here at seven."

"Thanks Issac." Hermione said. Looking at what was most likely the closet thing to a twin of Ron. His red unruly hair (although not as unruly as Harry's) and his bright blue eyes. He was quite tall for his age, giving some third years a run for their money. Hermione walked out of the room as she was quite close to tears again.

"What wrong?' Issac asked Harry.

"Hermione is emotionally dealing with the incident today."

"What about you?"

"I did it yesterday."

"Were you like me, breaking down at the house?"

"No, not exactly, when people die that are close to me, I get angry and I tend to get violent with things, such as my room yesterday."

"Oh."

"Yes, I should get to cleaning that mess at some point." Harry said aloud, talking to himself.

"Hermione is staying home for the rest fo the day, while I have to see your grandparents to ask them about something that Hermione found. I'll see you at seven." Harry said and he apparated out of the house. And to the burrow.
