one way or another ((affected potter-weasleys))

After making sure that her son Hugo and his cousins of a similar age were safe and at their dorms, Hermione opted to reenter the scene to try and gather her affected nephews. If she was lucky, she would be able to have them looked over, but that depended on if she could find them and if they cooperate.

She managed to swiftly find James who was trying to get himself attached to any guy that he could get his hands on. "James, I'm sorry, but this is for your own good." Hermione teared up as she sent a stunning spell at him; she figured that by doing this, he could be sent to the infirmary and be looked over.

Of course, with luck, the head healer happened to be affected as well. Looks like this was going to be a one-woman operation.

Feeling as though he needed a few more sessions with Cherry that evening, he waited for her to come back to the entrance hall. There were a few students dotted about the place, but they were all boys. His insides positively sank, and then started gnawing away at him. He just wanting to touch one of the girls, even if it was just to stroke their hair for a little while.

But then there was Cherry, and she was a far greater satisfaction for him.

Looking into the hall, he witnessed his Aunt using a stunning spell on James. However unusual that was, she was standing near a pretty Ravenclaw girl at the time. So he watched, transfixed on her, feeling his feet automatically drift forwards.

Hermione sighed trying to hold back more tears. At least she could get comfort in knowing James wouldn't be causing anymore ruckus for a few hours at least. She turned and saw Louis. He definitely looked as if he just got done a certain act.

"Where have you been?" she questioned worriedly. "Who were you with?"

@Louis Weasley

Louis looked straight at his Aunt, but his expression didn't show the usual beam he reserved for her. Instead, his eyes moved again and locked onto a girl sat at the Hufflepuff table, covering her arms over her head as a rain of food showered over. He gently eased her hands away from her head and hugged her shoulders from behind, whispering:

"Shh. It's okay. I've got you. You're mine now."

@"Hermione Granger-Weasley"

Upon seeing Louis still act up, she went over and pulled him from behind. "Sorry about that, miss. I hope you don't feel too disturbed." Hermione pulled him away from the girl and asked once again, "Where were you?"

@Louis Weasley

Louis's eyes were still very restless. Although his Aunt had a secure hold on him, they were pivoting about and trying to see around her at the girls still inside the hall. Perhaps Cherry had come back as well!

"With Cherry," He answered, "I'm waiting for her. There she is!"

Suddenly he struggled against her when he thought he saw her, but it was someone else.

@"Hermione Granger-Weasley"

He was with Cherry? Ah, right, that's his new girlfriend.

"What were the two of you doing? I don't think that's Cherry."

Hermione tightened her grip as she figured out what to do with him.
