A/n: Well, ugh, I'm tired. Powerlifting meet yesterday left me absolutely drained. FINALLY have time/patience to get this next chapter written down. Yeah, that last one was kinda weird, think of it as a set-up for this one… Go re-read it first if you haven't just read it. Get yourself in the right mind-set. Lalala. Lzlzlz. Hehe, I love inside jokes! (RAAA! Stupid Judges!) This one's a bit longer. Read! Enjoy! Review!



And Then Hermione Got Involved…



After hearing Harry's exclamation and the ensuing bout of laughter, Hermione snapped her DADA book shut, 'Like I'm going to get any studying done with that going on…' She walked over as Fred seemed to explain something to Harry, "No, you flubberworm, Snape!"

"So what's got you three talking about Snape yet _again_?"

Harry recovered first, "Well, did you hear about Fred and George's detention?"

"Oh, yeah. So THAT's why you took so long in the shower. And I don't blame you either, eugh!" Hermione shuddered as she tried not to think about having to clean up the results of the recent wave of food-poisoning. "But what was that 'Bruce Wayne' thing all about?"

"Well," said George. "I was just telling Mr. Flubberworm here who gave us that detention, but I have no idea where he got Bruce Wayne from…"

"Stop calling me flubberworm!" retorted Harry. "You said 'Batman,' and Bruce Wayne is Batman, you know, in the comic…"

"OooooooooOOOOOOoooohhhh," said George as realization dawned. "I remember something like that. I should have been a bit more specific: Vampire-bat- man!"

Fred laughed at his brother and made a face bearing his teeth and hissing like a vampire.

Hermione, who had just been reading about vampires, said, "Oh, I hardly think he's THAT dangerous. Just REALLY intimidating… like one of those really big fruit bats."

Harry looked at her, grinning, "So you're saying that Snape is just a really big *fruit* bat?"

"Yes," replied Hermione, not picking up on his intonation.

Fred, however, picked up Harry's intonation quite readily, "Hermione says Snape is a big *fruit* bat…"

The three boys paused a moment to look at each other before breaking into badly controlled snickers.

*Click* Hermione finally got it. As she walked back to her books she muttered, "I didn't mean it like _that_…"
