~Unexpected Encounter~
What are you doing wondering the halls at night? asked Professor Snape pointing his wand light at Harry.
Sir, my friend Hermione she's missing it says on the map she's... Harry paused holding the Marauder's map closer to his face for a better look, "that can't be right but the map never lies" Harry thought to himself. puzzled he said, Sir it says she's right here but here you are... He looked up at Snape.
I don't suppose you know where my friend is Professor? asked Harry. Snape sneered, Mr. Potter return to your common room now or you'll earn yourself a month's detention.
Harry stood back and lifted his wand at Snape. You tell me where Hermione is or I'll hex you. Harry threatened. You dare to threaten a professor Potter. snarled Snape lifting his wand at Harry.
At that moment Hermione stepped out from behind Snape and stood between the two placing her hand on Snape's arm. Severus don't please, she whispered looking up at him with a pleading look in her eyes. Snape stood for a moment looking into her honey brown eyes and nodded then lowered his wand. She smiled slightly and turned to Harry.
Harry please stop I'm fine. Hermione? what the bloody hell are you doing here Ron and I have been looking everywhere for you, asked Harry looking confused.
It's alright Harry I'm fine, said Hermione.
Come on Hermione let's get going, said Harry glaring at Snape as he turned to leave.
Hermione didn't move, no Harry I'm staying, she said. Harry turned about, What? he asked. I'm not coming Harry I'm staying here for a while, Hermione said sounding defensive.
Harry looked at Snape, what's going on here she's a student you're a professor. demanded Harry.
Well that's really none of your business now is it Potter, said Snape sounding calm.
She's my best friend so yea it is my business you leave her alone, aren't you a little too old, asked Harry teasingly.
Why you little...
Snape lifted his wand to attack Harry...too late.
Harry NO! screamed Hermione.
EXPELLIARMUS! Harry shouted disarming Snape and knocking him backwards landing on his backside.
How could you, Hermione screamed at Harry as she rushed to Snape's aid.
Feeling furiated Harry stormed off back to Gryffindor common room. His legs trembling breathing hard. Merlin's beard I just attacked a professor, Harry thought to himself, I could be expelled, but what's going on with Snape and Hermione, she defended him.
Coming out of his thoughts worried and confused he approached the portrait of the fat lady and muttered the password "puking pasties" the portrait swong open to admit him and he entered passing Dean and Seamus over by the fire and going straight up to the boys dormitory.
Meanwhile...
Severus are you alright? asked Hermione helping him to his feet. Bloody Potter, if it wasn't for you Hermione I would hex him into the next generation, said Snape as he stood brushing off invisible dust. Oh Severus you won't do that,said Hermione. Don't count on it, he said looking at her with a half smile. She smiled back at him and took his arm as he lead the way down to his private chambers.
