It was a bright Wednesday morning in Hogwarts; all the boys in Gryffindor Tower were bustling out of the door on their way to breakfast. Well almost all the boys. Seamus walked over to Ron's bed and shook him awake. "Oi Ron, get up, its just about breakfast time. Where's Harry? We didn't see him come back from detention last night."

"Probably already went down. . ." Ron muttered sleepily, turning over on his side away from Seamus. Seamus looked over at the other boys in the doorway and shrugged before leaving with his friends. Ron breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could sleep in peace.

***** 10 minutes later*****

"BLOODY HELL! HERMIONE, THIS IS THE BOYS TOWER!" an irritated Ron yelled as she prodded him several times in the side with her wand.

"Wake up and get dressed. You are going to your classes today if its the last thing you do." Hermione giggled as her friend rolled out of his bed and stumbled toward the shower and turned towards the door. Ron smirked and crept up behind her catching her by her waist. "Where do you think you are going 'Mione? Aren't you going to help me get clean?" Hermione blushed lightly and smiled up at Ronald. "Why Ronald, I wasn't aware that my assistance was needed. But if you need my help, who am I to refuse? " she replied flirtatiously, following him into the shower.

Hermione looked around the Great Hall several times, her wet hair dripping down the back of her clothing. "Ron, where's Harry? I never saw him come back from Snape's detention last night?" her voice becoming slightly frantic at not finding her best friend.

Ron shoveled another bite of food into his mouth and opened his mouth to speak. "Ronald Weasley, don't you dare speak to me with food in your mouth. Swallow what you've shoved into your mouth then talk." Hermione scolded.

Ron smiled slightly while finishing his mouthful. "I think he said he had to take care of something after detention and that he might not be back til the morning. He said that if he doesn't see us at breakfast he'll meet up with us on our way to Charms. So relax Hermione," he added in a whisper "or do we need to go take another shower?" She blushed heavily and returned her attention to her plate while Ron snickered.

********* At the Professor's table **************

Severus Snape was sitting in his normal place, as he did every morning, next to Minerva. On his face he wore an expression of amusement. It did not go unnoticed.

"Severus, what's that smirk for?" Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously, casting a glance to the table where her lions sat. It would not be above her young colleague to have hexed one of her students. When she received no answer she prodded him in the leg discreetly with her fork.

"Ouch Minnie. That hurts. What was that for anyway?"

"You haven't heard a word anyone has said all morning Severus. What is going on?" her eyes narrowed. "Why are you smirking like that?"

Severus chuckled softly. "You'll see soon enough Minerva. Just watch."
