Hermione ran back to Potions and it was over, the room was empty except for
Snape's cold, pale, mean face. His expression told her that she had been
gone a very long time.
"Miss Granger please make your way over here!" Snape said in a cold, harsh voice. Hermione stepped forward to Snape's desk.
"Professor, I am sorry, I ran into---"
"Shut your mouth! I don't want to hear anymore, what I want to do is discuss how many points Gryffindor lost today. Well, well, well, let's do some math. You are a smart girl Miss. Granger, very foolish but smart, sand since you're so smart lets just see if you can figure out how many points Gryffindor lost." Snape handed Hermione some parchment and a quill. "Okay you were gone for 25 minutes and I said you would lose 10 points. So with that information you should figure out how many points you lost."
"Uhh…okay…" Hermione took the parchment and added 25+10=35. "35?"
"Try again!" Snape said. Hermione turned the parchment over and multiplied 25x10=250.
Oh no If I say 250 all of the people in Gryffindor will hate me. On the other hand if I say 35 again he'll make me do the problem again and he'll yell at me and maybe expel me! Oh, I do not want that!
"250?" Hermione said at once.
"Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll be sure to inform the headmaster that Gryffindor lost 250 point because of you lollygagging! You may leave now Miss. Granger!" Hermione stepped out of the stuffy dungeon and walked slowly up to her dormitory. While she was walking across the Gryffindor common room Harry and Ron walked up to her.
"Hi Hermione, Rough day?" Harry asked gently
"Yeah, and you'll never believe who I ran into today!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Who?" Ron and Harry said together.
"Not here too many people would hear! Lets move over to the corner over there by the fireplace." The three 5th years situated themselves in a tight corner and was quiet for a long time because of the tightness. Finally Ron broke the silence.
"Well, whom did you run into?" He said impatiently.
"I ran into-" Hermione started
"Now everyone it is late, time for your sleep. 6th and 7th years can stay up one more hour." Professor McGonagall said loudly. "We need our rest especially our Quidditch players, don't forget your game against Slytherin tomorrow. Goodnight!"
"Well, you heard her!" Hermione said as she ran up the stairs to her dormitory.
"Wait!" Ron had said but Hermione had already gone. "Well Harry, You need your rest remember the game tomorrow!" Ron said imitating Professor McGonagall. Harry laughed and the two ran upstairs to their comfortable 4 posters.
"Miss Granger please make your way over here!" Snape said in a cold, harsh voice. Hermione stepped forward to Snape's desk.
