Prologue

Hermione watched as her classmates left for the Hogwarts express, she would be spending the next three weeks with a teacher who loathed her alone, because the rest of the school had taken spring break. Dumbledore had requested that the three friends separate and stay in different places over the break so that they could be protected. Hermione did not want to put her family in danger and chose to stay at the school, Ron had returned to his family and Harry had been set to stay with Alastor 'Mad­Eye' Moody. How ever had Hermione know that she was to stay in a castle with the one person who loathed her she may have though twice.

'I suppose I shall avoid him and stay in the library or the common room.' she thought to her self as she headed back into the castle.

She looked around the empty entrance hall. 'Wow this is really eerie' she thought,

Dumbledore had requested that the three did not contact one another to be sure that they where not located. "this is going to be a long three weeks." she sighed heading up to the her chamber,

"Mrs Granger." came a voice. She knew who it was it could only be one person and they where now the only two within the castle grounds.

"Professor Snape?" she turned to come face to face with him.

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to give you this." He said.

"Thank you professor." She answered taking the envelope.

"Dinner is at 7, it will be in the small hall on the second floor. Don't be late. I don't intend on waiting." he said as if she had been late for something.

"Yes professor…Snape" she said walking off preying he didn't stop her again.

Hermione finally reached the common room, and let out a sigh if only he knew what he did to her.

"Popistickle" she said to the fat lady in the portrait, who opened, allowing Hermione to the safety of the warm common room.
