Anyway on with the story sorry about the misspellings or punctuation errors. Until I find out what a beta is (yes MadAnge can be it if I find out what it is) you will have to just try and figure the words out heh…. Okay STORY!


Hermione was now sitting in the library spreading out paper and varies books she thought she would need. She had all the books the library could offer on the CDT potion, sadly it was a very new potion in this decade and there were only 3 books on it: "Time Travel Potions," "Corso del Tempo and the Potion Masters words," and "Eliza J. Wirthworthys theory of CDT's"

Hermione had been sitting in the library for over 3 hours, nothing in the books were proving useful, and the bell for classes to end was about to chime and soon nosey people would be asking her questions.

Hermione was still engulfed in her research as the library began to fill with students, and some future professors.

"I thought you were in Gryffindor?" said a cold voice from behind her.

"I thought I was too but the hat put me in Ravenclaw," she replied not turning around.

"Explain the robes then," the voice said

"Uncle" she stated simply lying again.

"Oh," there was a silence for a few moments before the voice spoke again. "What are you researching?"

"CDT's if you must know," she said getting irritated with the voice.

"Snivilus leave the girl alone she doesn't need your putrid breath breathing down her neck," came yet another voice.

"Black! Only ideas come up with horrid comments like that. Was that really the best you could do? Try this hmm… take yourself I could say this… Black you look like you just got out of a tornado no to lame how about….. hmm…. At least I have breath unlike you all you have is odor!" Snape replied.

"Why you….."

Hermione saw she was never going to get any research done if there was to be a duel in the library. Shutting her book she arose from her chair ignoring both Snape and Sirius. She got as far as the door before Sirius reached her.

"Hermione where are you going this lovely afternoon?" he asked flashing her a smile that would have made any girl faint. Any girl who didn't know he would end up being her best friends Godfather that is, she thought to herself.

"I am on my way back to the common room"

"Allow me to walk you there."

Hermione didn't want to interact with anyone she would know in the future for fear of disrupting the timeline. But it seemed Sirius Black wanted to interact with her.

"No thank you Sirius I believe I know the way." Hermione walked away and headed towards the second floor on which the Ravenclaw dorms where located. (Any idea where Ravenclaws common room/ dorms really are located? Oh and I put the Library on the first floor)

She did not know that a certain young Slytherin was following her.

Reaching the stairs she stepped on and stared to walk up just as she was about to get off the stairs onto the landing the stairs started to shake. She took several steps backwards and grasped the railings tight.

The stairs were moving again she remembered the last time they had…. she had fallen.

This time however she was not falling and the stairs were taking her up and up. She was still unaware that she was not the only one on the stairs.

3rd floor 4th floor 5th floor 6th floor 7th floor…… there was nothing past the seventh floor, yet the stairs continued to go up and up. Hermione worried for a moment that she might hit her head on the ceiling if the stairs were to go up much further.

"Granger!" said a voice behind her.

She turned instantly letting go of the rails for a moment only to grasp them even tighter as the stairs stopped on a…. a landing?

"Where are we?" she voice aloud.

"How should I know? I didn't think it went past 7 flights," Snape replied.

This place had never shown up on the Marauders map she figured it was sort of the same as the room of requirements.

"Are you getting off? Or are you going to stand here and gawk at the scenery?"

Hermione looked back at Snape with an unpleased frown and stepped off the stairs on to the landing. Closely followed by Snape.

There was a single door on this landing directly in front of them. She was hesitant to open it but did not have to think to long as a boy's hand gripped the handle and pulled it open.

"In," he stated simply.

Hermione truly did not want to go into the room first but her famous Gryffindor courage told her to go in and so she did followed by Snape.

They both let out gasps at what they saw. It was an ordinary room with a couch, a fireplace, and a small desk. But that is not what Severus and Hermione had gasped at. Also in the room sat a wall covered in books and a station for a potions creator along with all the ingredients needed.

Hermione wondered if this room was exactly like the room of requirements and tested her theory when she thought of another room, but it stayed the same and so this room had always been like this. But it was perfect for them both but how was this possible?

If Hermione's eyes hadn't run back to the wall of books she might have wondered this more but at the sight of all the books her heart leapt and she started at a fast pace towards the wall covered in books.

Snape on the other hand headed towards the potion station.

The hours flew and both were content upon their own things that neither spoke but enjoyed the company of another person in the room and the thing he or she was occupied in.

It might have continued that way if Snape had not dropped the wrong ingredient into his cauldron. Hermione was still focused on her book and did not see the panicked look on the face of Snape or the fizzling cauldron until…..

BOOM!

Hermione jumped to high in her seat she swore her bottom left the couch. She jerked her head around to see what had caused the explosion.

A black face full with sooth was scowling at a blown up cauldron. Seeing the scowl and the face it belonged to sent her into hysterical laughter.

"And what may I ask is so funny?" Snape asked his voice cold and full of anger.

"Your…. your face!" Hermione got out threw the laughter.

"Indeed," he replied frowning at the girl.

Hermione finally getting a hold of herself stood up and walked towards the still frowning boy.

"Let me help you," she said extracting her wand and pointing it at the mess on the station then his face. Uttering a quick cleaning spell both were clean in a matter of mere moments.

"Thank you," he said showing in his tone he was not sincere.

Hermione was still grinning when she tried to strike up a conversation.

"What were you trying to make?"

"A potion"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "What potion?"

"Nothing special"

Seeing this was not the way to go Hermione changed the subject and tried again.

"What was up with that boy? The one named Sirius?" She of course already knew what was between the two of them but thought that maybe she could at least get Snape to talk.

"He is arrogant, rude, snotty, filthy, pompous, egotistical, and of course a Gryffindor! All of my least favorite qualities."

"I see he did come on a bit strong," Hermione knew the good kind man Sirius would turn out to be but in this time Sirius was all those things and she couldn't deny the truth.

"I advise you to stay away from him."

"I have no friends here at the moment and at least he was trying even if friends wasn't what he had in mind."

There was a long pause before Hermione spoke again.

"Why did you follow me from the library?"

"Well I was trying to talk to you in the library then Black interrupted me and I wasn't done speaking yet"

"Oh" Hermione really didn't know what else to say to that

An even longer pause

"Snape could you show me around he castle?" Why on earth did she say that? Maybe it was because he had no friends and she was like him at the moment friendless. But still to have asked him to show her around the castle? What on earth was she thinking? But still she wanted to spend some time with him even if she didn't at the same time for fear of interfering with the time line. But she had asked the question now all she needed was a response.

"My name is Severus not Snape and yes I guess I could find some time to show you around."

"Thank you…. Severus… Oh and call me Hermione" She smiled at Severus it was odd calling him by his first name but it suited him somehow.


They were walking all around the school just talking some and showing Hermione the "new school"

After awhile they abandoned the school tour and just talked and talked about classes, potions, and other things.

"Are you getting hungry Severus?" Hermione asked looked at the time it was almost 7 and time to eat.

"No…." he said looking at the floor.

"I am a little bit but I don't want to leave you all alone here," Hermione realized Severus didn't want to be alone again at the Slytherin table like he had been for so many years. And she herself didn't want to be alone again among the whispers of the people and the staring eyes as it had been at lunch.

"Severus I have an idea follow me." Hermione headed towards the Great Hall with Severus following close behind her.

"Hermione what are you doing?"

He didn't have time to react as Hermione grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the Ravenclaw table. All eyes were on the strange pair.

"No! I will not sit with the Ravenclaws." Hermione dropped his hand groaning loudly causing several heads to turn.

Hermione walked towards the Slytherin table and sat down all the Slytherins were scowling and Severus was left staring at her mouth open from the Ravenclaw table.

Severus walked over and sat down next to her.

"What are you doing?" he asked looking confused."

"Eating dinner with a friend"


Sirius Black had gone back to his common room after he had seen Snivilus and Hermione walking around the school talking.

How could she blow him off for him?

He knew he wanted the girl to be his because she refused to be his.

But then she had been with Snape! Talking and laughing with him!

It was too much for Sirius to take and so he thought of a way to embarrass Snivilus and then he remembered the spell James and him had created in the summer of their fifth year. James had been going threw some phase were he wanted to learn to tango with Lilly. So they had invented a sort of lesser version of the Imperius curse. It could manipulate anyone to do what the spell intended to tango and a bit of a salsa at the end, which had been his idea. The spell was not an unforgivable curse and they could not be charged with anything. The person still was aware of what he or she were doing just couldn't stop it unlike the Imperius curse where he or she was not aware.

And so it was planned tonight at dinner it would be dinner and a "show"


Hermione sat next to Severus at the Slytherin table unaware of the plotting at the Gryffindor table.

They sat eating and talking and ignoring the stares and whispers around them. Hermione knew Severus had to be uncomfortable as she was. She had just stood up at the same time as he did.

"Let's go then," she said starting to walk towards the door. Suddenly she heard someone mutter something and a blue streak of light hit Severus in the chest.

Music started to play from nowhere. A tango?

Then she felt Severus hand in her own and his arm slink around her back. And then it started.

The tango!

(Image if you will Severus Snape doing this it makes for a much better image and is so funny it deserves two exclamation points! A stranger sight you shall never see!)

His feet started moving pulling Hermione along. His right arm outstretched holding her left arm erect. The grip around her waist became tighter as he moved pulling her with him.

At first she staggered and stumbled then she had no choice but to go along with it putting her hand on his shoulder.

One step Two steps Three steps right. Switch hands. One step two steps left. Four steps right. 2 left.

Over and over they danced waiting for the music to stop Hermione wished the spell would wear off him.

"I can't stop!" he yelled. Causing several people in hearing distance to laugh.

Two steps right and then he twirled her out and pulled her back in and then the same motion with the other hand. She twirled back into him and he dipped her.

The dance went on and on and finally the music died down only to turn into the end of a salsa.

Severus let go of her twirling her away as he ran for a vase grabbed a flower and put it between his teeth and jumped on a table. "OHLAY!"

The room burst out laughing as the music stopped one voice heard over the others.

"What a lovely dancer you are Snivilus!" Sirius called from the Gryffindor table.

He was lucky that the teachers had had a meeting during that dinner leaving them alone in the Great Hall or else Sirius would have had detention for a week but as it was he was free and off the hook leaving Severus embarrassed.

"Black you'll pay I swear!" Severus screamed his face red as he ran from the Great Hall followed by Hermione. They laughter did not stop for a long time after that.


:( Poor Snapy! Well then I didn't want to do that to him but imagine the actor who plays him only younger doing a Tango then screaming OHLAY! With a flower between his teeth! Imagine that! Lol KEEP READING AND REVIEW THANKS!
