Minerva watched Hermione carefully knowing that she had been through a lot and at such a young age but she knew that age didn't truly matter at all in regards to experience and giving the war she knew a lot of people have had to grow up quickly. It was cruel but that was life.
Minerva smiled softly at Hermione and she could tell that the girl was holding herself back, "It's okay Hermione," she said opening her arms and wrapping them around the young witch, "you've been through a lot and Hogwarts will always be home to those who need it," she continued softly holding Hermione tightly, "you can stay in my quaters for now so I can make sure that you taken care of properly and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to swing things to allow you to continue your studies here." she added softly. It might be that Hermione would only be allowed to do certain subjects because of her blood-status but that didn't mean she couldn't learn others in her spare time or be taught personally by her or others.
Tonks tilited her head and breathed in deeply at that, "Won't that be painful?" asked Tonks softly having always secretly resented her muggle-blood due to bullying she would get from muggle students and her father not being able to handle her properly at all. If she hadn't been born as a Metamorpmagus things would of been a lot more easier for her parents to handle but because she had been that meant her mother had restrained her magic when she was a baby causing her to get ill a lot and weak which in turn caused upset between her parents because neither knew how to deal with her.
It didn't help matters that when she went to Hogwart's she had hooked up with several girls and brought one of them home to meet her parents. Her father wasn't that supportive and neither was her mother. The girl at the time had been scared out of her wits and Tonks saw it better to switch to dabbbling with boys not wanting her parents to hurt another 'girlfriend' or her.
Tonks couldn't deny the attraction she had for her aunt and she knew how wrong that was on so many levels and yet she couldn't help glance a little at her in a rather sly yet charming manner. Tonks sighed at Sirius's name and thought more about Bellatrix's offer, "I don't really want to be stuck in chains for the rest of my life," mumbled Tonks, "fine okay I'll do it." she added looking at Bellatrix.
Luna smiled a little and looked at Narcissa curiously, "That'd be nice," she said, "a-are you offering to be my Mother?" she asked tending to catch onto things rather quickly despite being seen as a 'air-head' by others yet she wasn't really she was rather gifted and while not as smart as Hermione she did have her own tricks and another way of thinking.
She missed Hermione...
The two of them had a close and understanding connection that was hard to define. Luna knew that she had feelings for Hermione and guessed a few times that Hermione could have feelings for her in return yet she wasn't sure? Maybe she would ask Hermione at some point in the future to go on a date with her. Hopefully she was still okay and alive? Luna smiled a little more knowing that Hermione was alive and will be well she could tell in her heart that everything was going to be fine yet there seemed to be something wrong? Something not quite right? Almost as if she felt something was coming?
Luna nodded, "I would love to hear some tales from you!" she said eagerly, "Dad use to tell me all kind of stories! My favourite is Halloween Town but no one seems to really know about it at all," she paused looking a little sad only to smile, "I really appreciate all that you are doing for me."
