A/N Okay...so it's been a while, I've been busy, but I should have the next chapter up before Monday!
A Wish to Come true
The next morning Hermione slept in, as usual, and hurried down to potions. When she burst through the door she was already into her explanation.
"I'm so sorry professor, but I was up so late last night, reading the book on wishing you know, and then halfway through, it was about midnight you know, and I realized I just had to talk tot his one person about it, since they were the only person who..."
"Hold your tongue, Ms. Granger, I'm sure the rest of your excuse is as impeccable as the beginning, but please we don't need to hear the whole thing. You will come to my office tonight at seven. Now as I was saying we will be brewing the wishing potion today..." Snape continued ignoring the dumbfounded looks on all of the students faces. Hermione had to nudge Harry, who started a chain of nudging to break them of the trance when Snape started to list ingredients.
'It was an odd occurrence though, Snape always favored Hermione, even more than he did Draco, and she'd been late many times and to suddenly give her detention, and interrupt her. Except for that he didn't insult her he treated her almost like any other student. Maybe the rumors where true, and she broke up with him so he was sore...what else could cause such a dramatic change,' Many students were wondering.

"You guys, I told you I don't know why Snape gave me detention any more than you do. I may be even more confused," Hermione said. She was telling the truth, since she was very confused she thought they'd agreed to be friends, and friends don't give friends detentions.
"Fine, we get it...it just seems weird, overnight for him to change so...it's just weird." Harry said with a note of finality which Hermione was glad for, because it was obvious Ron wished to continue the interrogation.
"But how," Ron started but Hermione stood up in the middle.
"Ron Weasley give it up!" She screamed...maybe a little out of character she thought after, but its okay because she was under stress. "So what. Snape gave Gryffindor detention, what difference does it make that it was me. I was late. Again, I've been late a hundred times, maybe I deserve this detention! Now excuse me, I need to finish my homework before seven!"

When Hermione walked across the common room towards the portrait hole that night, no one wondered where she was going. No one wished her luck either, even though it was customary to wish a fellow Gryffindor good luck when they were headed to detention with Snape.
They all just stared after her, apparently dumbfounded.

A/N Okay, so it was short, but I figure its better than nothing. Next chapter up by Monday!
