He had no doubt, James and Lilly had pushed Voldemort too far this time. Voldemort had been in an excellent mood that night at the Death Eaters meeting, his pale skin contrasted those deep, piercing crimson red eyes that glittered so mischievously this night. Young Lucius, his once trusted and most loved friend stood by the dark lord his smug grin mimicked that of Voldemort. He knew what they were planning, part of him went out to the Potters in pity, but his own hate for James was beginning to blind that small show of emotion. The Order was prepared if Voldemort indeed did decide to rid himself of the meddlesome Potters, so why should he care? He didn't and that's what bothered him...

He had been so deep in thought he had not even noticed the Dark Lord request his attention, until that is a sharp pain gripped his insides and pulled him in Voldemort direction, and onto his knees beside him.

"Were is your mind this night Severus Ssnape?" Voldemort hissed into his ear, his hot and foul breath washed over Severus as if Voldemorts mouth was the very gates of hell, full of rot, pain, and anguish.

Severus' eyes looked over his Lords face, sometimes he really thought that behind this wicked mask was Lucifer himself "My mind strays to the bidding of my Lord and master, I have to admit I am curious as to what he has planed for the night"

He was answered with a grin which confirmed his suspicions, James and Lilly Potter would not live to see morning.

Severus Snape, Professor Snape, jumped slightly hearing his name being called he looked over his advanced 7th year potions class and came upon a most familiar hand.

"Hermione Granger" he groaned.

It was no surprise to anyone he hated every last being in that bushy haired, know it all, Gryffindor. 'Only one more year, just one' He thought looking her over 'An entire year' This thought made his stomach turn. 'It's only been...' he glanced and his pocket watch '15 hours since they had arrived and already she has a question' he smirked at her and looked back down at the lesson plans he had been working on before he had dozed off. He was so wonderfully rewarded with a frustrated huff coming from her direction.

"Professor" Hermione raised her hand even higher, if that was even possible. "Ten points from Gryffindor Miss Granger for speaking out of turn" He didn't have to raise his voice his words alone were powerful enough to show his annoyance and building anger.

"I was ONLY trying to get your attention, I have a question and you haven't acknowledged me, even though I have had my hand in the air for over ten minutes" came her irritated reply.

This little outburst pushed what little patience he had over the edge to come crashing down, breaking into little bits.

"Fifty points from Gryffindor Miss Granger, and three days of detention after dinner starting today" He growled shooting daggers at her with his eyes.

Hermione couldn't believe what she had just heard, the second day of school she received three detentions, and had lost her house sixty points. Her eyes began to well up with tears, a scowl set firmly across her face. 'How dare he' she thought.

"Miss Granger if you are going to cry I suggest you wait till you are out of my class, or learn not to be such so infantile"

She could hear Dracos cold harsh laugh from behind her left shoulder, usually she would have Ron or Harry there to tell him to shut it, but they had decided they would avoid Potions if it wasn't mandatory. Three nights with Professor Snape was going to be hell, then again, without her close friends this entire year was going to be hell.

...................................... ...........

Ok, short chapter, but this was a good ending point, and just for everyones information, NO these three days are not going to cause a 'sweet budding relationship between Hermione and Snape"
