A/N: I know that it's been longer than I have been taking to update. I was going to post this about a week ago but since my story was deleted...um..yeah, So here it is in all it's glory. Sorry if there are alot of mispellings and so on (I really suck at that kind of stuff) R&R but most of all Enjoy.
In the morning .....
Snape opened his eyes, and was very confused. Where was he? What was going on? Soon to realize that he was in a back seat of a car, which only further confused him. A movement next to him woke him up more, he found he had a killer headache. Turning his head ever so slowly to keep the pain down as much as he could, he saw he was tangled up with Hermione. Hermione's eyes shot wide open but soon squinted to keep the seemingly blinding light out. Neither of them moving for fear of pain, until Hermione shot right up and opened the car door. She ran out of the car with a confused Snape watching her. She threw up everything she could in the bushes which unfortunately housed a cat that was not pleased in the least about the predicament who went running down the street. Once Hermione was done tossing her cookies, she lay down on the grass as if willing the near by birds to eat her alive.
Severus who was a bit more use to getting wasted got out of the car as dignified as he could, and went to her. Neither remembered much of last night. They both remember walking around town looking for someone they knew and vaguely remebered they had found Harry but nothing after that, as if in a dream but after that was blank. kneeling down by her he stroked her back gently, "Come on Hermione, you'll feel better once we get you back to Hogwarts." She stared up at him. "Are you going to get up?" He asked almost at a beg not really wanting to carry her, but none the less he ended up carrying her anyway. Hermione pointed to the house. "What you want to say goodbye to Harry?" Nodding Snape took her to the door and not sure of what else to do he rang the doorbell, hoping it wasn't too early.
Hearing a loud pounding coming from with in the house which sounded as if a Walrus was falling down the stairs. A gigantic boy opened the door. "Who are you?" Asked the boy boldly.
"I'm one of Mr. Potter's professors boy, so if you would show us the way to Mr. Potter, you might come off this alive." Glaring at him with full venom. With one very shaky hand Dudley pointed his finger up the stairs. Snape pushed past him with a growl, which seemed to be the cause for the mysterious wetness of Dudley's pants. Closing upon Harry's room, Snape stopped and knocked. Receiving no answers he knocked a bit louder trying not to hurt his head by the sound of it. satisfied to hear a muffled mumbling noise from the other side of the door. Soon the door opened.
"Mr. Potter I would like to inform you of our leave and thank you for .....attaining us. Good day Mr. Potter." No emotions but pain at the hangover. Hermione had fallen back to a very uneasy sleep in his arms.
Turning to go, Harry did something he never thought he'd ever do nor want to do, "Won't you both stay for breakfast?" The shock must have shown through on to Snape's face. "Or I mean well at least let me get you something for your hang overs?"
Quickly masking his emotions to the best of his ability, "Yes that would do us well. Right Hermione?" He nudged her to wake again. Walking back downstairs, they saw Dudley still at the door with it wide open. Harry laughed a bit which brought Dudley out of his trance enough to turn around and soil himself again at the sight of Snape. Not being able to stand it, Severus quitely said, "Boo."
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Dudley as he ran for his room.
Harry was on the floor in seconds laughing his brains out. "That was great! Never seen him so scared before!"
"I bet you've never seen him move that fast before either?"
Harry shook his head and showed them to the kitchen, "Your lucky that my Aunt and Uncle have left early this morning for a short vacation, or Uncle Vernon would be down here in a second flat claiming that he could kill you or something to that extent for 'threatening' his family. Now what would you like?"
Severus took all this in not really caring the least. He set Hermione down in a chair and took the one next to her. Her head was on the table with her arms trying to keep the light out. Deciding that he might as well be polite to Harry since he picked them up last night before they got in any trouble he tried to talk with him. "Anything to get rid of this darned headache!"
"Oh stay right there we have some IBuprofen, I'll get you some." Coming back with a bottle full of little pills that amused Severus to an extent about Muggle's and all of their ways to get around with out magic. "Just take two with a glass of water and in a half hour you should feel better."
"Why does it take so long?!" Shocked that he had to wait any amount of time to get rid of this horrid feeling with in his head.
"Because it has to go in to the blood stream or something like that. All you have to do is swallow it and it somehow gets there."
"Oh" was all he could think to say. After taking some himself, and giving Hermione some (She tried to steal the bottle from him and take the whole thing but he wouldn't let her) They each had a piece of toast before heading back to Hogwarts. Harry gave them a ride to the place he found them and from there they found the jeep, which Hermione drove back happy that the meds were working and that she got to drive again. Having her drive again made Severus feel slightly ill.
Once back they crept back into the dungeons with out being noticed. After taking showers and getting dressed in different clothes. For Snape he wore his usual black polyester pants, with a tight midnight black clean cut shirt, and a bellowing black robe over it; while Hermione felt like contrasting him with a bright orange revealing tube top that had a blue 00 on it, with matching orange athletic looking 100% cotton oversized pants and her lovely platform tennies. Eating lunch in their quarters and spending the rest of the time reading. An hour before dinner Severus threw a note in the fire to send it to Albus saying that they got back safe and sound and would see him at dinner.
"Hermione, I know that you don't want to hear this but could you please change in to something that doesn't show you off so much?" She gave him a look, "Don't forget that Albus hasn't seen your new hair or piercings, so till we find out of his approval or disapproval it would be safer to wear something that won't... stand out so much." Pouting she stood up and went to her room to change. Coming out in a long dress that he didn't remember ever seeing before in his life. It was black, so black that it was almost mimicking him. The dress had sleeves that went to the elbows but from there looked as if cut so they would fall off of her arms. The hem of the dress was cut just before the knee in little waves. With her new hair color and look she looked 'breathtaking' as Severus thought.
"That's much better. Now come along we don't want to be late do we?" She nodded, and went quickly to a piece of paper writing that she wanted to be modestly late, which earned a laugh out of Severus which surprised her a little.
After waiting to be 5 mins late they walked in as if they ruled the world. half the staff gasped they still haven't seen her hair and piercings and they didn't really believe Minerva about it. I mean come on it's our darling Hermione after all. Still acting superior Hermione held her head high and sat at the end of the table with Snape next to her. She didn't eat anything even with Snape trying to force her with out anyone noticing. The Headmaster looked at Snape clearly stating that he thought the new look was over done and time to get back to reality. Hermione saw the look and just stared at her empty plate with a single tear running down her face and splashing against her plate.
********************
"What's wrong?" Snape asked Hermione as soon as they got to his sitting room after dinner. He was worried, during dinner she seemed more withdrawn than usual.
A/N: Thank you Thank you! Okay I almost have finished typing chapter 4 up, but it might take me a bit to edit it. If anyone has any ideas or anything, please tell me, I'll *try* to put some in. Luv ya tons!
