The next morning, Hermione took the staff entrance to the Great Hall and not the student entrance with her brother and Harry, Ron, and Ginny. The Headmaster and everyone else at the Head Table were shocked at the young woman's overnight transformation.
Hermione's hair was still its medium brown color, but it was now pin straight. She normally didn't wear makeup, but this time, she had on smoky eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara- all volatile potions proof.
Her outfit had undergone the biggest change. She had Madam Malkin make ten sets of robes from Severus's models and feminize them. Her boots were calf-high and dragon-hide. And everything was black.
"Hermione, what happened to you?" Minerva asked quietly.
"Our dear Headmaster suggested I fill Severus's shoes while he was away. And that is exactly what I am doing."
"Yes, but I don't think Albus meant it literally." At this she turned to the old man. "You didn't, did you?"
"Of course not, but I don't determine what Professor Granger does as long as it does not harm her or anyone else." He had nothing else to say. The truth would put him in bad company with his staff and he certainly didn't want that.
The Potions Apprentice Professor smirked.
Hermione: 1, Jackass: 0.
