It was Hermione's sixth year at Hogwarts and she was up late one night in the common room. "Herm, what are you doing up?" A groggy Ron asked. "Could'nt sleep, you?" She replied. He sat down next to her on the couch and they soon started talking about their classes. "I dont really mind potions," Hermione stated, "I dont see why you all complain." "Oh come on Mione!" Ron screamed, " Snape is always taking points away from Gryffindor for no reason." " Well Ron, maybe he does have a reason. Did you ever think of that?" "I can't believe you Mione. Im going back to bed," Ron said as he walked to the stairs and climbed the stairs. She heard his door slam shut. Why did she blow up at him like that? Snape did take a lot of points from Gryffindor but there was a reason. There had to be a reason. 'Why am I standing up for Snape?' She asked herself while looking into the fire. She fell asleep, she didn't know when, but she woke up on the couch while it was still dark. She had to get out of the common room. She decided to go take a bath in the prefect's bathroom. No one should be there and she needed some quiet. She arrived at the portrait to the prefect's bathroom and said the password, snidget. She walked in and placed her bag on the vanity before walking over to the bathtub to turn on the taps. Right when she was about to get in she heard something that made her jump. Someone just turned the shower off. Hermione didn't know why she hadnt noticed. She quickly wrapped a towel around her body, just as the shower door opened. A/N:I wonder who is in the shower. -snicker-.
