"Miss Granger I have already told you that I AM NOT AN IDIOT GOD DAMN IT !" Snape screamed, most un-Snape like at the young Gryffindor.

"Ahhh okay ......." Hermione spluttered, rather shocked at Snape's sudden exclamation.

"Umm I guess you've been under a bit of stress the last couple of days then huh ?" She asked the ex- Potions Master.
"Ahhh do you want to talk about it ........ " She queried gently.

'Ohh how sweet' Snape thought to himself.
"Well yes, now that you mention it" He started happily.

However something suddenly occurred to him.
"Ohhh very clever Miss Granger." He stated coldly.
"Thought you'd try and take my job off me did you ?! Thought you'd make a better counsellor than me huh ?! Well I'm onto you missy !" He finished angrily.

"23 and a half points from Gryffindor !" He spat out, as he jumped up and horridly left the infirmary.

"?!" Spluttered Hermione, thoroughly shocked.

"I wouldn't get too upset." Ginny quietly spoke into the stunned silence.
"23 and a half points is really nothing, he took 1500 of me once." She continued.

"Still ........" Hermione replied quietly, rather hurt by the whole thing.

Suddenly Hermione turned around.

"GINNY ?! ........." She cried, as she threw herself onto the injured young Gryffindor.

Ginny smiled, for what seemed like the first time in a rather long while, as she held onto the sobbing older girl.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Talk about it ! Indeed!" Snape muttered angrily to himself, as he quickly stalked down the corridor, scowling at everyone, and paying absolutely no attention to where he was going.

"Oww !" He yelled as he bumped into someone and quickly fell into a tangled heap on the floor.

"Severus !" A shrill annoyed voice scolded him.

'Oh brilliant' thought Snape, this just wasn't turning out to be his day at all.
"Minerva, terribly sorry about that." He stated, through gritted teeth.

'Oh no ....." McGonagal exclaimed rather quietly.

Snape looked up curiously to note that their collision had caused a bottle of something that the Transfigurations teacher had been carrying to smash all over them.

"Ohh I'm sorry." He said, actually feeling slightly bad this time.
"That wasn't for a class was it ?" He asked.

"No." McGonagal replied rather thin lipped.
"Just something I confiscated from young Mr Finnigan." She quickly added.

"Ohh really! What was it ?" Asked Snape, rather happy to hear that a Gryffindor was actually in trouble.

"A love potion apparently." McGonagall smirked unhappily.

"Ohh ........ well Drat !" Snape whispered as he looked up into the most beautiful bifocal covered eyes he had ever seen.

"Mmmm" mumbled Hermione happily to herself as she snuggled even closer to her comfy pillow.

"Hey there sleepy head." Ginny said tenderly, as she continued to lightly stroke the older girls hair.

"Hmmm ?" Hermione questioned sleepily, as she looked up into the smiling eyes of her young friend.
"Hey Gin." She replied yawning happily. It was, she decided, very nice to see her little Ginny happy and smiling again!
However she had also decided that her new pillow was actually even nicer, so she smiled once more at the 5th year and then settled happily into her former position.

'Mmm' She thought to herself, as she tried to snuggle even deeper into her pillow 'they really should give these out to everyone, not just the patients in the infirmary!'

"Comfy ?" Ginny asked, smirking.

"Mmmhmm!" Hermione answered, not bothering to move from where she was.

"Oh, well good then." Ginny laughed happily at her friends very unHermione like actions.

'Wow' Hermione thought to herself, entirely ignoring her friends laughter.
'They even make the pillows here smell nice!'
In fact, she considered as she sniffed even harder, the pillows had a very distinct scent, one she had smelt before ........
'Ohh ! honeysuckle and jasmine ! ' She finally decided, rather pleased with herself for picking it out. Although she did have to admit that it wasn't really that hard, after all that was the fragrance Ginny alway wore........

'Ohh no !' Hermione screamed to herself, as she quickly sat up.

Her comfy pillow wasn't even a pillow after all - it was in fact her best friend!
Her apparently GAY best friend!
'Oh God !' Hermione thought to herself,thoroughly horrified, she had been using her best GAY friend's chest as a pillow.
In fact if she was completely honest with herself, she had actually been groping her best GAY friend's chest!
Hermione had a sneaking suspicion that straight girls probably shouldn't be doing that !

"I um ......... ahh ...... I'm just ......ahh not like that" Hermione quickly yelled, as she leaped from the bed, and raced out of the infirmary.

Ginny stopped smiling.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Ugggghhhhh" Exclaimed a very startled Ron, as he was picked up by an extremely fast moving Hermione, and dragged up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

"Oww !" He complained as he was dropped onto the floor by Hermione's bed.

"What'd you do that for ?!" He asked rubbing his sore neck.

He didn't get an answer though, Hermione it seemed was to busy undressing for that.

"Ahhh Hermione what are you doing ....... ?" Ron asked nervously.
He just knew that Ginny was going to end up killing him for this, and it soooo wasn't even his fault - life was so unfair some times !

"Ron ! You've got far to many clothes on !" Hermione exclaimed berserkly, as she began to advance on the worried young man.

"Ahh Hermione, maybe you should go see Madam Pomfrey for a little while." Ron suggest, as he picked himself up and ran around the other side of the bed.

"Ronald Weasley you can not escape from me !" Hermione spat out thoroughly annoyed at her friends evasive actions.

Ohh this was not good, this was definitely not good, Ron decided.

"Umm Hermione, You remember I want to be a monk don't you ?" Ron tried, rather desperate for anything that might help.

"Well even more reason to do this." Hermione smiled.
"I mean you only have one more year left before a LIFETIME of monkery." She smirked.

'No !' Ron decided, this was just wrong.
"Hermione I am not going to sleep with my sister's girlfriend. I mean honestly what kind of brother do you think I am ?!" He asked, thoroughly offended.

"GOD DAMN IT I AM NOT GAY !!!!! " Hermione yelled.

"Haha very funny 'Mione !" Ron laughed.

"Hello I dated Victor remember !" Hermione exclaimed.

Ron laughed even harder.

"What about Professor Lockhart then huh ?! " She asked as she crossed her arms, rather annoyed by Ron's immaturity.

Ron was now laughing so hard that he had tears in his eyes.

"Hahahahahaha .....Lockhart .......Good one Hermione !" Ron smiled, pleased that this was obviously all just a joke after all.

"What's so funny about Gilderoy ?!" Hermione asked, half dreamily, half annoyed.

"Ohh come on Hermione, he wore more make up than my mum ! Honestly I don't know why we didn't see this coming earlier ! Not gay ! Hahahahaha ...." Ron continued to laugh as he happily walked back to the common room, he was going to have to tell Fred and George about this - hell maybe Hermione had a future in the joke business !

"Arrrrggggggghhhhh !!!" Screamed Hermione, as she threw herself onto her bed and proceeded to sulk.


The End.


( Just joking !)
