Well a new story for me. I don't know where this one came from but it just decided that it wanted to be written so here we go. I have no idea where it's going either so... Here goes nothing. Please let me know what you think.

When our Professor first informed us that we were to write a paper, story, or an article on a deatheater I was shocked. Not because of the topic exactly but just because of the controversy of some of the deatheaters on the list that was provided for us. We had the option to write about one or more than one and it was ok if more than one was written about. I honestly didn't know what to think. We had until the next class period to figure out who we were going to write about, when the time came for me to announce who I was writing about I realized that there were three on the list that weren't written about, and I found it odd. But then again, I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me because I was the only graduate of Hogwarts in the class. I chose to write about Severus Snape, Lucius and Draco Malfoy. Of all the deatheaters, they hadn't been chosen so I chose them, thinking back now I guess it was cheating. I of course had prior history with all three of them and it was easy for me to get information on them. Professor Snape, well he's still teaching at Hogwarts, Lucius was still involved with politics and Draco attended this very school. I don't know if maybe this is my Gryffindor nobility or honor whatever you want to call coming out, but I thought the assignment was wrong. Wrong because they were all alive and free, attempting to live their lives after the fall of Voldemort. Thank goodness it was Friday. Entering my flat I sunk down onto the couch after kicking off my shoes to relax, thankful for the silent that surrounded me. I suppose that's one of the perks of being a 'nerd' as I have been called. Friday afternoons and evenings were always quiet. I decided to get a head start on this assignment, getting it finished as soon as possible would mean that I wouldn't have to show up to class anymore because this was our last assignment before Christmas break, and since this was the only class that I still needed to attend because I had finished all my others I was eager to finish it and get an early start on break. Deciding I would start with the hardest of my 'subjects' I began writing down questions. Thanking the gods that it was Friday I donned my cape and apparated to the gates of Hogwarts, with any luck Draco or even Lucius would be here visiting Professor Snape and I could get more than one out of the way. I haven't been back to Hogwarts since my graduation nearly 6 months ago, but it still looks the same. Looming large up on top of the hill, the only difference now is that this has to be the longest walk of my life. I guess I know now what they mean when they say walking the plank. Because this is exactly how I feel… Upon entering the school Filch greets me with a curt nod, Mrs. Norris eyeing me with her beady eyes, asking if Professor Snape is in, I get a curious look but am told that he is. The walk down into the dungeon makes me feel like a student again, funny how he still has all this power over me when I get within these walls, I wonder if he holds this same power outside of these halls. Looking around I'm surprised although I shouldn't be, the dungeon wasn't really a part of the final battle and so it is left untouched, exactly the same. Weird. Now I'm standing outside his office door. Breath. I can't breath. The thought that he is going to eat me alive keeps running through my head, again and again and again. This was a bad idea. I'll just owl him. Yes, an owl is much better, safer, with any luck I might just get a scathing remark about my insufferable curiosity and a warning to never contact him again. Yes, Hermione, lets just owl Professor Snape. Well, in any event, maybe Minerva can have tea or catch up for a little bit.

"Is there a reason as to why you are standing outside my office door or did you just miss annoying me Miss Granger?"

Shit! Shit! Oh god. "Uhhh…" Oh. My. Gods. "Professor, I…" Shit. Where is your courage Hermione, come on. "Well sir, I, uh… I would like to speak with you if you have time sir." That wasn't so hard was it? I think I'm going to die. Why is he looking at me like that? Oh shit. Close off mind. Well actually, what's the point, you always did suck at occlumency and he doesn't, you probably couldn't hide anything from him anyways. I hate when he looks at me like that, maybe he'll give me detention. Do I have to serve it? No. That was a stupid question… Would I serve it anyway because he told me to? Focus Hermione. Focus.

"You have five minutes Miss Granger."

"Yes sir."

"I'm waiting Miss Granger."

"Ok, well you see sir we got an assignment this past Monday in my Influential Persons class and um… Well you see sir, I opted to write about you." Yes, good keep with that, maybe just be brief and hope that he doesn't ask you about it.

"You opted to write about me?"

Why is he looking at me like that? Oh no this is NOT good. "Yes sir."

"Miss Granger, I find that your briefness on your assignment is out of character and it leads me to wonder what exactly your assignment is and why you would choose to write about me, let alone come all the way here to inform me of such a decision when you could easily just owl me. Is there anything else you would like to inform me about this or ask me since you are the one that made the trip all the way here to see me?"

"…" He is going to kill me.

"Your silence is irritating and I have more important things to do. So feel free to tell me or get out!"

"Yes sir."

"Well?!"

"Our professor instructed us to write about deatheater(s) and well everybody chose Tom Riddle, Bellatrix, Greyback, Lestrange, and well mostly all the ones that are either locked up or passed on. And um, well… I chose to write about you, Lucius, and Draco Malfoy." I cannot believe you just said that. He is going to murder you. Right here. Right now.

"Indeed."

"Sir, I'm sorry to bring it up. I'll leave. Thank you for your time sir." Get out now why you have the chance. Go on. Go.

"Sit!"

"…" I don't remember this room being so hot. He is going to eat me alive. Why did I sit down again? Just breath Hermione. Breath. In and out. In and out.

"You came all the way here to inform me that you were writing about me. That's interesting Miss Granger. Very interesting. I suppose that want to get a head start on it considering you still have a month to go until Holiday."

"Yes sir." Oh god.

"You're very brave to have come here and second to have told me the real reason as to why you plan on writing about me."

"You would know if I was lying sir." That's for sure. He's a human lie detector machine.

"As usual, you are correct Miss Granger. Does Lucius and Draco know about your plans to write about them?"

"No sir."

"Were you planning on telling them?"

"Yes sir. I attend the same University as Draco." This isn't going so bad, keep it up.

"Hmmm… And Lucius?"

"Oh, well… I hadn't really thought about how I was going to inform him sir. Probably try and go visit him or tell Draco. Umm, I don't really know sir."

"Interesting."

"…"

"Miss Granger, were you planning on asking your questions or did you want to sit here and stare at me, thinking about what I am going to do to you for being here or for attempting to ask questions about my life that you know to be a festering sore?"

"Oh umm, well…. I uh. I wanted to ask you some questions sir, but I can leave-"

"You can ask me the questions."

Did he? Did he just give me permission to ask questions about his time as a deatheater?! Holy Toledo!

"Close your mouth Miss Granger. I need not be reminded of Longbottom when I am finally rid of his presence in my world. I shall set up a time when it is convenient for me. Until then, good day."

"Yes sir. Thank you sir. Have a good weekend sir." Wow. I cannot believe this, he actually agreed.

"Oh and Miss Granger… I'll talk to Lucius and Draco, no need for you to go out of your way."

"Thank you sir. Happy Friday sir."

BANG!

SNIVELOUS HAS A GIRLFRIEND! SNIVELOUS HAS A GIRLFRIEND! SNIVELOUS HAS A GIRLFRIEND! SNIVELOUS HAS A GIRLFRIEND! Ahhhhhhhhhh hahahahaha!

"PEEVES!! YOU WAIT UNTIL THE BARON HEARS ABOUT THIS!"

What do I do? What do I do? This is so awkward. "Uhh…"

"Miss Granger your time to leave has come and gone, yet you still remain…"

"Yes sir. Good evening sir." I think Peeves might get murdered tonight. That was certainly uncalled for and awkward, I hope Professor Snape didn't feel too embarrassed. I think that a nice long bath is in store for you. Yes a nice, long bath.

"Good evening sir. Mrs. Norris."

POP!

Well that's it for chapter one. Please let me know what you think. I hope you liked it. Please. Please review. As grateful as always. -Sevy14
