Hermione looked up at the clock in the Gryffindor common room. 4:35 p.m. "Crap! Sorry guys, I gotta get down to Severus's office," Hermione said gathering up her many MANY things.
"Who's office?" Ron asked, confused. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed at Ron's stupidity. "Professor Snape's," she said.
"Why?" Ron and Harry asked in unison. "Don't you remember? I have to…move down to the dungeons with him," Hermione said flatly as she stood up. Harry and Ron looked at each other as if trying to decide if she was joking.
" 'Night. I guess, I'll see you in the morning," Hermione said waving to glumly them before heading down to the dungeons.
Hermione bolted down the dungeon corridor. "God! Oh crap, I'm going to be late!" she exclaimed. She tighted her hold on the things in her arms and sped up her running pace.
She skidded to a stop in front of Snape's office and knocked lightly on the door just as the bell rang to signal that it was 5 o'clock.
"Come in," a Snape's voice inside drawled.
Hermione opened the door as the last chime sounded out. "Are you always this punctual, Miss Granger, or are you just anxious to see your new 'home'?" Severus said with a tone of amusement in his voice as he looked up at her from a pile of essays that he had previously been grading.
Hermione placed her books and bag down in one of the chairs and crossed her arms, looking at him and rolling her eyes.
"If you mean to insinuate that I am anxious or excited to get to your-" "Our" "-chambers, then no, I am not, and wouldn't be even under different circumstances," she said crossly.
Severus merely smirked at her, waving his wand and banishing the essays to his personal study to look at later, walked towards the door, and said, "Well, come on," as he walked out slowly for her to follow.
Hermione grabbed up her books and bag once more in her arms and rushed out into the hallway and followed her 'husband'.
Hermione groaned as she tried to situate the books in her arms again to keep them from falling as she followed Severus through the corridors.
Severus stopped and turned to face her suddenly. Thankfully, Hermione stopped just in time to keep from running into him.
"Really, you silly little girl, you seriously need to shrink those things. You're going to drop them if you don't," he said icily to her.
Her eyebrows knitted together in anger. "Well, I would have if you had given me anytime before we left your office. You should really give me more of a warning," she shot back angrily at him.
He huffed and lifted the books out of her arms, much to her protest, and shrink them, placing them in her bag.
"There, problem solved. Now let's get going," he said turning back around and stalking off.
"Forward, evil, snaky, git," Hermione spat under her breath as she started to follow him.
