A/N: Again sorry about errors made.


********************
"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 He was worried, during dinner she seemed more withdrawn than usual and it didn't go away afterwards either.

Hermione went to a table and picked up some parchment that was left there and went to the desk to get a quill. Writing, "I didn't want to upset anyone, I'm sorry that I have. If it would be easier I'll just go on my way. I'm fine." Then handing the parchment to Snape. As he read his expression changed.

"Where did you get the idea that you were upsetting anyone?" a little bit of hurt in his voice. Hermione took the parchment back and wrote Dumbledore's name.

"No child you haven't upsetted him, he just doesn't want you to do anything you'll regret. This has been a big change for you, and it'll take time for every one to adjust to it." Seeing that he had said the right thing, for a very slight smile was upon her lips. "Now why don't you go to bed, I bet you could use a good night's rest after yesterday's and today's events." After she had left to go to bed he sat down to read a book, but he didn't seem to interested in it. His eyes were out of focus as he thought about what had happened lately. Hermione has changed allot with in the last 48 hours. She's died her hair, pieced her self, gotten drunk for the first time, and felt the results of it the next morning. Her attitude had also changed. Hermione was more timid and meek. But she still showed that she could do anything she wanted to, when ever she wanted to. She also wasn't a know-it-all anymore, by not talking, but now she seemed to posses a real understand of what people around her were feeling. Severus liked the changes, they were not as big as every one made them seem, but they were just enough to realize what a friend she can be.

Interrupting his pondering was a note coming from the fire place telling him to go talk to the Headmaster in his office.
