Dear miss granger,
It is my great pleasure to The only sound in the room was that of a quill scratching the words out on the parchment. The hunched black figure licked his quill thoughtfully and again tried to write the letter.
Dear Miss Granger,
Due to your rather promising NEWT results, and your insistence on pursuing a career in potions, it has been decided that you are to study for your diploma under Severus Snape, Potions Master who is currently teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding. Your training will commence at 11am sharp on the thirteenth of June, this year. You will be required to live in residence at Hogwarts, so it is suggested that you bring suitable garments and also a basic potions making kit.
Yours Sincerely
Severus Snape
Severus Snape, potions master extraordinaire, leaned back in his chair and smirked contentedly at the letter- it was perfect. It was curt, slightly insulting and to the point- he could well imagine Miss Grangers expression when she read the letter. He had three weeks left of peaceful solitude before the bushy haired know it all that was Hermione Granger arrived. He again looked at the information he had been given on her- her address, her OWL and NEWT results, both of which Severus grudgingly admitted were exceptionally high, and her date of birth. It was her date of birth that struck him as odd- according to it; she had been born 2 years before perfect potter. He made a mental note to ask Dumbledore about it later on.

20/05 Dear Diary,
Today was the day I finally got my letter through. I've been accepted into a potions degree- only you know how much I longed to be accepted into it. The bad news is that I shall be studying under Snape- yes the black winged bat like potions master. I can imagine what Ron will say- "But Hermione, he's, he's a vampire and spooky" well that is what he will try and say, but I have no doubt that the baby will drown him out. It's hard to believe that we have only been out of Hog warts a year and Ron is already happily married and with children, and to her! You know I had my doubts about their marriage, but I must say they seem disgustingly happy together.
There was a time; dear diary that I imagined myself as Mrs Hermione Weasely, but that was not to be- the title fell to Pansy Parkinson. And I am sure Ron wouldn't trade her or little Benny in for the world. Isn't it odd how times change- no one has seen Harry since that last battle a year ago- and Ginny is heartbroken- she's so pale and lifeless without him- all the spark seems to have gone with him. I do hope that he comes back, if not for her sake then just to let us know he is alive and safe.
And then there is me- intelligent Hermione Granger - the girl who managed to ace all her exams, but at what sacrifice? Did I give up on love for the sake of knowledge? It has been two years since Ron and I broke up, and there has never been anyone since. I am happy being single- it is true to say I am married to my work, that is what you would hear if you asked- but only you know the truth dear friend- I am lonely and I would trade in all the knowledge I had just for one blissful day- to have someone love me as dearly as I need to be loved.
Maybe it will be good for me to return back to Hogwarts- I was happy there- wasn't I? Yes, it will be a new start.

Dear Diary,
Well this is it, this is the last entry I shall be making at home for quite some time- Im all packed and ready and when I was shopping at Diagon Alley I treated myself to some new potions books- I think professor Snape will be pleasantly surprised to discover how much I know about potions and potion techniques. Wish me Luck!

Dear Diary,
That man! He is insufferable! The minute I walked into the classroom he told me that he expected me to have read up on all the latest potion techniques and he was going to give me a basic quiz to see how up to date I was. The 'basic' quiz lasted 45 minutes! I felt like turning round and telling him that I wasn't in school any more. Honestly! He's more annoying than Ron!! *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~

Dear Diary,
I've been here a week and I admit that there have been times when I have wanted to tell Snape where to shove his cauldron, but I love potions and I am determined to show that man I am just as good as he is at potions. But I have to admit that around him I act like Neville- every time he leans over my shoulder- so close that his hair touches my check, I find myself acting like a stupid fifteen year old. Today, for example, he had me making the lecanthris potion- I wont bore you with its properties- but suffice to say it is an extremely complicated potion and at the exact moment I was due to add the thestral hair he leans over my shoulder- so close I could almost smell his cologne-yes, its true -Severus Snape the greasy haired git, as Ron fondly calls him, uses deodorant, and it smells nice. If I close my eyes, I can almost smell it again.
