"Come on, Potter! We've only got ten minutes left" Severus Snape called to Harry Potter.
Harry added the mouse whiskers to his potion.
"Come on, Harry! Now the grounded raven's claw!" whispered Hermione Granger.
Harry did as he was told.
Neville Longbottom threw the grounded raven's claw into his potion.
It started to bubble.
"Neville! Those were instructions for Harry!" Hermione hissed.
"Longbottom! Did you add the raven's claw before the pig's snout? You idiot!" Snape exclaimed, rushing over to Neville.
Neville got such a fright, that he tipped his cauldron's contents all over Hermione's face.
Hermione kept her mouth shut, so that none of the potion would get in.
"You imbecile!" Snape bellowed.
"I'm s-s-sorry!" stuttered Neville.
Harry looked at Hermione.
Her face was going pink.
Suddenly, she started growing facial hair.
She had a beard and a moustache!
They were growing very quickly.
In seconds she had hair longer than Dumbledore's.
Snape took out a knife and held it to Hermione's chin.
"This potion is dangerous! I told you that, Longbottom! One man died in a room full of his own beard! It was so full, he had to stop breathing!" Snape sneered.
"Why didn't he just open a door?" asked Seamus Finnegan.
"Fifty points from Gryffindor. Everyone may leave, except Granger, Longbottom, Potter, Weasley and Finnegan" Snape exclaimed.
The room started to empty.
He started to cut the hair away from Hermione's face, but it was no good. It just kept growing back.
He cut it, while walking her to the door, and up to the hospital wing.
It was ten o'clock at night, and Harry was waiting with Ron, by the fireplace, when Hermione came in.
She looked absolutely normal, except she had stubble all over chin, and upper lip.
"Madam Pomfrey said the stubble should disappear in a week" she sobbed. Her voice sounded on the verge of tears.
She walked over to the boys and they gave her a hug.
When she stood up, tears were rolling down her face.
"When I got out of the hospital wing, Pansy Parkinson called me a shaggy mudblood" she sobbed.
They hugged her again, and headed up to bed.
"Ha! Ha! I never thought I'd live to see the day when Hermione grew a beard…I always thought it would be a tragic accident between her and her ex-husband's new girlfriend" Ron said thoughtfully.
"Na…I thought it might be Neville" said Harry.
"Neville's Hermione's future ex-husband's new girlfriend?" asked Ron in horror.
"Um…I'm going to bed…" said Harry.
"Good idea…hey Collin!" called Ron.
Collin Creevy looked up from his reading.
"Can I borrow your camera?" asked Ron.
Collin nodded and threw it to Ron.
Ron sneaked up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.
"Hermione?" called Ron.
Hermione appeared in the stairway.
Ron took a close up picture of what remained of Hermione's beard.
"If I ever see or hear of that photo again, I'll show everyone that picture of you as a two year old, walking around in a noodle nappy" threatened Hermione.
Ron gulped, and removed the film from the camera.
