Part 10

Hermione awoke to two firecrackers going off. She shot up and looked around her eyes wide. Steph and Beth both held two used firecracker cases.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" asked Hermione franticly. Steph looked over at her with a grin.

"Thought we'd wake you up." Said Steph.

"With a bang!" added Beth.

"Don't you ever fucking do that again!" fumed Hermione. She got up and went into the bathroom. Beth held back her giggles as Steph burst out in a fit of giggles.

After Steph was able to pick herself off the floor she walked over to the nightstand upon which sat something that caught her eye. She smirked as she picked up the 'beginners' book. She sat down on the bed and opened it to a random page then snapped it close.

"What?" asked Beth.

"Was not expecting that picture!" Steph said shaking her head.

"Oooo! What picture! Please? I wanna see!" Beth said excitedly.

"Oh, nothing Beth. Don't worry about it." Steph said with a smirk.

"When you say that, I worry." Beth said and zipped over to the side of the bed where she grabbed the book and flipped it open and squealed.

"Oh! That picture! Oh Granger!" Beth called and shoved the book in Hermione's face when she walked out of the bathroom.

"Oh dear god…I never saw that the last time I went through that book!" Hermione squeaked.

Beth and Steph raised a brow. "When you went through it, huh?"

"Errm, uh, just flipped through it…"

"Right."

"I just uh, scanned it…"

"Sure."

"I just skipped to certain part…Never read any of it…"

"Hermione, did you forget already? We were in your head when you read it. So don't deny it. Besides, it's not that bad of a picture. Its just a position page…" Beth said like it was no big deal.

"If you ask me it looks a bit like Snape…" Steph said amusingly.

"But I don't think Snape would get into that position…" Beth said, pointing to something and showing it to Steph.

"You'd be amazed by some people…" Steph said, with a far away look in her eyes.

"Yeah, but that one?" Beth said, pointing to a different one to Hermione.

Hermione just blushed and Beth grinned at the mental picture that Hermione was trying to push out of her mind, which Beth kept firmly in there.

Hermione coughed. "Uh, I wouldn't know…"

"I'm sure you'd love to know though." Beth said grinning.

"Don't think such things, Hermione!" said Steph with a little smile.

"Seriously, I don't wanna know your fetishes." Beth stopped, looked at the book again and smirked, "No matter how interesting they may be…"

Hermione blushed fuchsia and grabbed the book and tossed it underneath her bed.

"If you don't mind…I've got to eat sometime ya know." Hermione muttered and stalked out of the room. Steph started to follow but Beth had other ideas. She grabbed the book from underneath the bed and took a muggle pen and circled a few things.

"Time for major embarrassment…" She murmured and wrote something stuff downs on a piece of paper and stuffed it in there like a bookmark. She grinned and followed Steph out the portrait hole; the book tucked lightly into a fold of her robe.

At breakfast everyone was talking excitedly about the New Year. Beth and Steph took their spot by Hermione who was eating, and trying to ignore them both when Snape walked through the doors and Steph nodded to Beth. Beth took the book out and folded it in some of Hermione's extra robes that were hanging and pushed them a bit in the walkway.

Snape walked by and looked at Hermione's robes and pushed them back when a book fell out of them, "catching" Beth and Steph's attention.

"Oh no! Snape has your book Hermione!" Beth was an utter nutcase inside her head, but outside she looked horrified.

Hermione's head snapped around right as Snape picked up the book, and saving Hermione the embarrassment, shielded the cover from anyone's view and opened up the book to where it was marked and read what was written. The corner of his mouth twitched and his eyes turned into molten pools of deep brown in amusement. He coughed slightly and Hermione slowly turned her head, Steph and Beth were already facing him, loving the look he had.

"So Ms. Granger, is that how you see it?" Snape asked calmly.

"What?" Hermione asked, confused.

Snape held out the paper with her writing on it and Hermione blushed the shade of apples looking at what Beth had "written".

Actually, it was a very quick pencil drawing, full of shadings and of Hermione and Snape, doing the one position Beth swore she didn't think Snape could do, but drew him doing it perfectly, with a note written at the bottom.

My Dear Severus and Me,

For if my love ever comes true,

I pray that we do it like this first, to show my true love for him.

Hermione Granger

Christmas of '07

(Co.AN/ Putting a random date on there seeing as how I'm way to god damned lazy to put what date might it might actually be… So I just put what year she'd be if she was 17)

Hermione's face blanched. "I didn't write this…and I'm not that good of an…artist." Hermione sputtered. Though she in the picture looked a few years older, where Snape looked like he did in the picture they had found in his room.

"Hermione! I always knew you had the hottes for a teacher, I just didn't know which one…" Beth said, looking thoughtful, the corner of her mouth twitching with contained mirth.

Steph nodded. "As did I, as did I…"

Snape looked at the both of them, then at the rest of the table, whom was oblivious to the conversation.

"I see, may I see all three of you in my office after breakfast?" He smirked and walked down the table to sit next to Dumbledore.

Hermione turned and faced her plate while Beth had had enough and burst into fits of laughter, with Steph straight behind. Hermione whirled on them both.

"You did that, didn't you!" Hermione whispered fiercely.

Beth and Steph nodded, and covered their mouths with their hands to stop laughing as now they were getting looks.

"I'm sorry Hermione, its just, you put the picture in my head, and I just improvised with the little note at the bottom. You did think that same exact picture." Beth said, suddenly looking sorry.

"Well, yes…How did you know?" Hermione asked, forgiving her, but not the one still trying to contain her mirth.

"When you think of something, since we're apart of you, we think it as well. So, really, unless we're thinking by ourselves, we think what you think." Steph said kindly.

"Kinda creepy ain't it? Knowing that we know what you think, feel and just all about know everything about you?" Beth hummed the 'Twilight Zone' and wiggled her fingers in Hermione's face and got them both to laugh.

"Okay, I forgive you guys, though that was so embarrassing…" Hermione cuffed Beth lightly on the head. "And I know you did it cause you are the physical part of me, therefore, you have the ability to draw better than Steph. No offence Steph, but its true, right?"

"Unfortunately…" Muttered Steph. "But not by much!"

"Yeah, says the person who drew hair on her stick figures and thought it was a masterpiece and tried to sell it for a million dollars when you were in middle God school." Beth laughed and Steph glowered at her. Meanwhile the 6th year Slytherin that she had smiled at when she had arrived, over heard the "God School" part of the conversation. His eyes opened wide and he quickly passed by.

"So, do you think we should show up?" Steph asked, mildly.

"Na, he can wait. It's new year's! We should partay!" Beth said, grinning.

"Well really it's not the new year yet. And the longer we take the worst the consequences." Hermione said.

"Hey Hermione? Remember when I said that I could read your thoughts?" Beth said amusingly.

Hermione nodded.

"Well, I know that you just wanna see your precious Snape sooner rather than later."

Hermione blushed. "I do not…"

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Let's go, I want to get this done and over with!" Beth announces and stood. Steph an Hermione got up after her and followed her out and down into the dungeons where Snape awaited them.

TBC

Co.AN/ Heh, what will happen down in the dungeons? Hmm? What ever will they do when they find out that Snape has to leave for a bit, leaving them down in his dungeons? Uh oh…Muahahahaha! rubs hands together evily

AN/ Just shakes head
