Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series or any of the characters and this story is written for fun :).
Severus Snape ; resident Potions Master of Hogwarts, Half Blood Prince and Order of Merlin First Class ,was bored. Now don't get me wrong it's not like he wanted an evil ,snake faced ,Dark Lord on his case again or that he wanted that damned snake Nagini to take a chunk out of his throat again , its just that at least back in those days he had something , ANYTHING to do. Now his main priority were the snot nosed dunderheads he had to teach (according to Albus). He sighed for about the a millionth time and briskly walked to his liquor cabinet and poured himself a generous amount of firewhiskey . Just as he had settled himself into his favourite armchair comfortably, he heard an obnoxious knocking sound coming from the vicinity of his door. How could he describe a knocking sound as obnoxious you may ask? He could because he knew who was at the door . It was the Gryffindor princess , know it all extraordinaire , Hermione Granger. Severus knew she would come searching for him after what happened earlier , what with her being Head of Gryffindor now. No ,he thought, it wasn't enough that she had tormented him for the past seven years , no no no she just had to come back here and aggravate me on a daily basis, even though there were several other better jobs she could have taken.
Snape sighed and warily walked to the door before setting his face in the best scowl he could muster. He flung the door open and saw her standing there hand raised as if ready to knock the door again and mouth open as if about to start shouting his name to get his attention. Slowly she lowered her hand and her mouth closed but her eyes were still locked on his and her face was set in a scowl scary enough to rival his own. Hermione was wearing a tight black pencil skirt and a white blouse , which was unbuttoned at the top so you could see a bit of cleavage. Her face as usual held little to no make up , as she only wore a little bit of clear lip gloss. No robes?Severus mused , Interesting. '
Finally Hermione spoke .
"I think you know why I'm here Severus"
"I have no idea actually Ms. Granger,and I do not recall giving you permission to use my given name". He said whilst raising one eyebrow in a condescending manner.
Hermione huffed and pushed past him and then plonked herself down right into his favorite armchair .
"I also do not recall inviting you in." Snape hissed , incensed at the blatant rudeness shown by the insolent chit.
Hermione just snorted and glared .
"Severus , several house points have suddenly disappeared from my house's hour glass for no apparent reason , you wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" Hermione said in a sweet voice but her eyes glinted dangerously.
"I may know a little something, yes" Snape smirked , eyes shifting mischieviously.
"Alright Snape enough with the games , now either you return those points and we forget this ever happened or I make your life very difficult."
Severus had to admit that in spite of her small stature , the witch could strike a very imposing figure indeed and if he was a lesser man he would have given in by now , but he wasn't. He was Severus Snape and no pushy little chit was going to storm into his quarters and threaten him without there being serious consequences.
"No , I don't know who you think you are but I will not tolerate being threatened in my own quarters, now get out!"Severus hissed , eyes narrowed. Hermione slowly rose from her chair and walked to the door but when she finally reached it she turned and said,
"This isn't over Snape. This means war." Before Hermione stormed out , slamming the door as she went.
Snape smirked
.Maybe things might not be so boring anymore.
