Detention

Snape was confused when he entered the Classroom. Of course he had seen Potter. Like a little Child he had hidden behind the Statue of Fanny the Fierce. First he wanted to snatch him then an there but then he decided to do it after Class when Potter thought himself save. He would teach him to skip HIS Class.

But on the other hand it seemed very strange to him that Potter would hide down here in the Dungeons where he must fear to be spotted. He he wanted to cut Class, why not hide in the Common Room?

He began the Lesson. Today he would teach those little twats how to brew a Potion that would make the drinker look more attractive in the eyes of others. Women loved this one.

While he looked carefully over the weighing and cutting of Ingredients and the stirring of Potions, his mind wandered to the dream from last Night. It had been the first time, Harry had occurred in them. Why was that? Only because he had Lily's eyes? It was time that he got over it. Lily was dead and there was no force in this world that would ever bring her back.

Surprisingly, that thought did not hurt as much as it used to. Was it possible that this old wound finally healed? But why now?

He shook his Head. To many 'why' for one lesson. He banned every thought of Potter or Lily or the dream from his Head until the lesson was over and the Pupils where excused.

When the bell rang for the end of class Harry's Heart nearly skipped. He got to his feet quickly, stuffing back the enchantment Homework he had done during the lesson. The Pupils rushed out of the class and Harry carefully sneaked out of his Hideout to mix with the... "POTTER!" Damn, obviously not sneaky enough. He slowly turned around and said "Yes, Professor?" , with such a look of pure innocence that everyone else had melted. Not Snape however his Eyes gleamed with the Promise of Trouble. Big Trouble. "This Evening. My Office. Detention. No one will skip my class unscathed." and with this he rushed out of Sight.

" Harry, what did you think? How could you just skip class like this? Really don't come whining if Snape keeps you there all Evening, I think you really..." Hermione started nagging, the moment she saw him. Now Ron fell in too, angry, because Harry didn't invite him to skip. This made Hermione even more furious and soon the two of them were fighting really hard.

But Harry didn't pay attention. He just realized that he had won a whole Evening with Snape alone.

Ok, it might not have been an invitation to a romantic Date, but better than nothing. He wasn't sure if the rumbling in his stomach was a sign that he was happily excited or scared to death.

"Come on Harry, will be late. Or do you want to skip Transformation too, huh?"

Hermiones Voice ripped him from his daydreams and he silently shook his Head and followed them.
