Tropical Paradise
ch 1.
by Aurora
Hermione Granger considered herself a reasonable person. But sometimes, she just didn't know what to do with Harry and Ron. Spring Break was coming up and they were insistent on her going with them to Aruba or some tropical place like that. But she was content to stay at school and research for her final paper that wasn't due for 3 more months. They nagged her constantly and she still refused. Finally they did give up, only on the consolation that she had to check out one book from the library that contained something other than school work. They had even recommended a title called "Tropical Paradise". She decided to at least give them that.
After everyone was gone on holiday, she curled up in her favorite corner of the library with her stack of books, one of which being a very peculiar looking red book. After a few hours of light reading, and about 3 volumes of Potions, Cauldrons, and Incantations, Hermione gathered the rest of her books and headed out to her dorm room.
Only too soon did she find herself looking up from the floor at the ceiling, her books spread about the floor in disarray.
When she attempted to get up, she caught a glimpse of what caused her to be in such a position.
She had run smack into Professor Snape.
She let her head fall back down to the ground.
Great.she thought.
She was shaken out of her reverie by his booming voice.
"If you are quite done lying about, I would suggest you help me retrieve your books, Miss Granger."
Hurriedly she got to her feet and began picking up stray books. Soon their hands reached for the same one and they both got up holding the red book.
Snape eyed the title.
"Tropical Paradise?"
"Harry and Ron suggested it to me."
"I'd expect nothing less from then. Who is the author?"
"I haven't the foggiest. Lets look inside. Maybe its written on the front page."
Together they opened the book but as soon as they read the authors names, before they could look at each other in horror, they found themselves flat on their backs, staring up at the warm sun.
"Damn those Weasley pranksters!"Hermione thought.
