- CHAPTER 1 -

"This is unbelievable!" Ron shouted as the golden trio were entering the great hall.

"We don't speak, we don't breathe and that bat keeps taking points off from our house.

It's only the second day of class and I'm already want this year to end.

Harry: "And on top of all the slytherins were thrilled about it of course."

They were 10 minutes into their meal when Hermione finally spoke her mind.

"You know what I think? I think it's about time that we do something about his behavior."

Harry and Ron looked at her from the other side of the table, not eating.

Hermione was looking over Snape and saw him eating and not being social as usual.

Then she turned her head back to Ron and Harry: "I'm serious. I'm sick of it! Tomorrow I'm going to come up with a plan."

Harry: "But what can we possibly do that we haven't done?"

Hermione: "Leave it to me."

It was after 11 p.m when Hermione finally entering her bedroom.

She had a private bedroom and that's what you gain from helping and doing everything professor Mcgonagall is asking from you all over the years.

Now that Hermione is in her sixth year, a teenager and a brilliant student, professor Mcgonagall thought that she deserved a private bedroom.

She was laying in bed on her back staring at the ceiling and her mind filled with thoughts.

'Why is he like that? Always angry and look so tired all the time? There is got to be something that can change him. Well maybe not change him completely but at least make him a little bit more tolerable.'

Hermione knew that in order to make this plan work she is the one that will have to do it.

She was a straight A student and could do many things at the same time and another task won't make the difference.

Also she was afraid to let the boys be in charge because their loathing to Snape would prevent them from doing everything right.

Hermione never hated Snape.

She felt sorry for him.

'The life he had for turning him this way must be awful.

What I'm about to start tomorrow will affect every student in this school and the rest of the staff but especially himself.

He deserves to feel good about himself. To be excited about life and not be so bitter all the time.'

She fell asleep right after she finished writing the whole plan on paper.

When she woke up, the paper was on her desk where she left it, so she took it and put it in her bag.

She felt that this day is going to be special.

That it's the beginning of a new era.

Without even realizing it, she was standing in front of her closet for a few minutes, staring and checking what to wear.

Getting dressed in the morning was never a big deal to her.

She cared about her grades and friends more then her appearance.

But this day was different and for some reason she wanted to look different then her usual.

She wanted to stand out in the right amount in order to push stage one of her plan.

She picked a red sweater which symbolizes gryffindor colour and bravery.

It was pretty tight and had a cleavage which highlighted her breast not in a provocative way, but in a gentle one.

She put a very natural make up. Mascara, Blush so she won't look so pale, and a pink gloss.

She added cream on her hair so her curls will not be that messy.

She put on her cloak, took her bag and was headed down to the common room when Ginny ran into her.

Ginny: "Wow Hermione! You're bloody gorgeous sis.

And since when do you have bigger boobs then me?"

Hermione: "Is it to much? It's to much. I should go and change."

Ginny: "No it's not to much. You should dress like that everyday. By the way Ron is going to lose it when he sees you."

"Come on" Hermione said whilst dragging Ginny down the stairs.

"Lets go eat breakfast. I have to tell you about the plan."

Ginny and Hermione met Ron and Harry in the great hall.

Ron of course was already eating but then he noticed Hermione when she was sitting across from him.

He dropped the fork and was just staring at her.

Hermione: "Good morning Ron"

Ron: " 'mione you look great."

Hermione: "Thanks Ron"

Ron: "I mean really really great."

Hermione was smiling and said: " I think you are exaggerating, It's really not that much."

Harry: "Ah Hermione if he is exaggerating then why all eyes on you?"

And then she noticed it.

She looked around and almost all the boys in the tables near them were staring at her.

Hermione was naturally beautiful so when she added some makeup it made her even more gorgeous.

She didn't like to be center of attention and she felt her cheeks getting red.

Hermione: "So anyway about the plan. I got it all on paper and I'm going to let you read it because I don't want to talk about it in public."

She took the paper out of her bag and passed it to Ginny who was next to her.

When Ginny finished reading it she passed it to Harry.

In the meanwhile Hermione decided to steal a glance over Snape to check his mood.

When she looked at him his eyes were already on her.

Her heart skipped a beat from the surprise she did not expect.

She didn't shift her gaze because she was to curious of what it meant and she wondered who will break first.

Finally he moved his gaze and started talking with professor Sprout.

'Why was he staring at me? Could it be that he knows about the plan? No way, How can he? Maybe he thinks I look ridiculous. What was I thinking with this clothes and makeup. This is not me. I'm not that girly like Lavender.'

"Hermione. Hermione!" Ron called and giving the paper back to her.

Hermione:" "yes?"

Ron: "Where are you? I was talking to you."

Hermione: "Oh sorry Ron. I was just thinking about the plan and how I will start stage one."

Ron: "Well we think it's brilliant."

Hermione: "Really?"

Harry: "Are you kidding? Definitely one of your best ideas ever. Instead of fighting with him all the time you are going to get close to him and find out what he is hiding and why is he so angry all the time.

But I'm not sure about that part that it has to be you alone. Did you think this true? Is it really what you want?"

Hermione: "I'm sure. I'll be fine, don't worry.

I will consult with you all the time. That's why I have you. You will help me."

Ginny was putting her head on Hermione's right shoulder: "I trust you. You will be fine."

Hermione: "Thanks Ginny. It means a lot to me."

Ron: "So I hope you were getting ready for stage one."

Hermione: "What do you mean?"

Ron: "The first class is potions."
