Here is the next chapter. Have fun reading.
Lily and I walked to detention together. When we got to detention, Snape was already there. We waited for five minutes, but the other boys didn't come. "Tonight you three will be helping Hagrid in the forbidden forest. Now walk down to his home," Dumbledore said. I was wondering what the other boy will be doing and if they will get in more trouble for not coming.
"What about the other boys?" I asked.
"They will get a more severe punishment," he said. With that Lily, Snape and I walked down to Hagrid's hut. The walk down wasn't too bad. The weather was cool and the stars were out. Snape, Lily and I talked and joked and had fun while we walked. The only problem was that it was getting cold by the time we go to the hut. When we got to Hagrid's hut, Hagrid was waiting for us. He did not look happy.
"There has been something disturbing the centaurs, so we are going to find out what it is. Stay close, don't want to get lost in the forest," Hagrid said. We then walked into the forbidden forest. As we proceeded, you could hear all the strange creatures that you would find in the forest. We walked until we got to this beautiful clearing. The trees were a beautiful shade of purple, these trees you wouldn't expect to find in the forbidden forest. "Don't grab anything from the purple trees. It will make you bound to the forest. It will make you addicted to the forest,' Hagrid said. Oh, wow. I got to read about this later. We walked into the middle of the clearing and we waited for a bit. Then we heard some leaves shift and twigs snap. Three huge centaurs came into the clearing.
"Hagrid my friend. We thank you for your help," a centaur with white hair and a long beard said.
"I always like to help Airest," Hagrid said.
"There are these three boys that keep bothering us," said a centaur with black hair and beard.
"Do you know who these boys are?" Hagrid asked.
"No, all we know is that they are from the school," Airest said. Then out of nowhere, an apple came flying out of the forest and hit Snape in the stomach.
"Bloody hell," Snape swore.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," he said.
"Are you sure?" Lily asked.
"Yeah," he said. Then two more apples came flying out of the forest. One hit a centaur and the other almost hit Lily. This boys are immature and rude.
"Should we go in that direction and get them?" I asked.
"Yes we should. Let's go," Hagrid said. We started walking toward the direction the apples came from. As we were walking, I got super cold. In my time it was in the middle of spring, but now I think it was the beginning of spring.
"Are you okay, Hermione?" asked Snape.
"I'm just a bit cold," I said. I shivered a bit, but hoped Snape didn't notice.
"Here you can wear my cloak," he said. That was so thoughtful of him.
"No, if I do then you will get cold," I said.
"I don't get cold that easily," he said. Boys, they must be naturally warm.
"Ok, but if you get cold please tell me," I said.
"I will," he said as he took off his cloak and handed it to me.
"Thank you," I said.
"No problem," he said. We walked for a bit until we got to the lake. When we got to it, we saw James, Sirius, and Remus laughing at the edge of the lake. It was those guys. It was those idiots.
"You three are in big trouble," Hagrid said. Hagrid went and grabbed the three boys. "You three are done with your detention, you may go inside now," he said. Lily, Severus, and I walked back inside. I took off Severus' cloak.
"Thank you for letting me use it," I said as I handed it back to him. Then I hugged him, which I think he was shocked by that. After a second he hugged me back. "Goodnight Severus," I said as I pulled away.
"Goodnight Hermione," he said as he walked away. Then Lily and I walked to the Gryffindor common room. Lily and I got ready for bed, then I started writing in my journal.
'Dear Ginny,
Detention wasn't too bad. James, Sirius, and Remus didn't show up, so it was just Lily, Severus and I. We helped Hagrid with a problem. It turned out that James, Sirius, and Remus were behind the problem. Anyway Severus is so kind. I don't have a winter cloak, so I just used my spring cloak. I got cold and Severus let me wear his cloak. Isn't that the sweet thing? I hugged him and I think that shocked him. I'm going to go. I'll write more later."
