Disclaimer: This is my first HP fan fiction! I read the book for the FIRST time yesterday after I saw the film. So naturally, I don't own any characters and whatnot.....J.K Rowling owns all....except Professor Jocelyn Bell. She is mine...so if you all really, ReaLLy, REALLY love my story ( which I hope you do) ask before you mooch her off of me :) note: this is a very wild thought but, allow me to dream :)
"Hermione, may I please speak with you after class, please?" Jocelyn asked Hermione as she looked up from her scroll.
" Of Course, Professor Bell" she said and quickly got back to her goblin essay.
It seemed like the class went on forever that day. Jocelyn had a million thoughts racing around her mind. She had to stop Hermione from talking about this whole situation. After what seemed like hours, she dismissed the class when the bell rang and Hermione stayed after.
" You need to see me about something?" she asked, looking around the room while Professor Bell went to close the door.
" Yes, Hermione. I know you set the fire to Professor Snape's robes. I saw you from the playing field." She said, while Hermione looked down at her feet.
" Well, Someone hexed Harry's broom! I was only protecting Harry!" Hermione said quickly
" I do not think you fully understand the matter, Miss Ganger. It is best you keep your nose out of it. Do not mention this incident to anyone, I mean it. It would put yourself in great danger and whoever you tell." Jocelyn said, trying to be pleasant.
" I understand, Professor Bell, but I do have a question, why are you protecting Professor Snape, anyways? Hermione asked, raising her eyebrows.
" Their are things you do not understand about Professor Snape, Miss Ganger. These things are something I will not go into detail with you" Jocelyn finished.
" Very Well, see you at dinner." Hermione said and left the room hurriedly.
Jocelyn sighed and sat down. Her conversation hadn't gone as well as she hoped for. Hermione didn't really have a lot of friends. She always had her nose in a book and was apart from the other children. Bell had only ever see her talking to Ron and Harry.
"That Hermione giving you trouble, Jocelyn" Severus said, appearing in her doorway.
"Hermione saw you doing that counter curse. She doesn't understand it's Quirrell. She didn't see him performing the actual curse. I couldn't tell her the truth, it would put her in danger." She finished
"That is a problem" Severus said "She is just a child! What harm can she do. None at all"
"Your right! What harm could a student do?"
