Ginny found Hermione back in the common room sitting in a chair by the fire. Ginny went over and sat next to her. They didn't speak, but just sat there and stared into the fire.
Harry and Ron came back up after dinner was over. Harry went over to Hermione and told her that Snape wanted to see her. She got up sulkingly and went down to the Dungeons.
She knocked meekly on the door. She didn't get an answer and went to knock again. When she raised her fist, the door opened.
"In," Snape said. He looked and sounded furious. She went in and stood next to his desk. She didn't take her eyes off of him. "Sit," he said, pointing to the chair.
As she sat, he walked over to his desk. She had then realized that he hadn't opened his gift yet. Her eyes began to water because she was upset.
Snape took that cue to open the gift. He pointed the wand at the box, and the paper began to fall off. He then hand opened the box and took out what was inside. His jaw dropped in awe. He looked as if he were about to cry himself.
"I hope you like it," she said, standing up. She started moving towards the door.
"I love it," he whispered. She stopped dead. "I've always wanted gold plated potion bottles. They're gorgeous." Hermione didn't know what to do. She just stood there and stared. "Thank you," he said after a few seconds of silence.
"You're welcome," she spurted out. She then walked out of the office in embarrassment.
She went back to the Gryffindor Tower and up to her dorm room. She then packed her bags for the next day to leave for the holiday break.
