After Victory @@@@@@
The next day after breakfast Hermione and the group (Harry, Ron, Draco. Parvarti, Lavender, Neville and Dean) walk towards the dungeon together.
"I can't wait for Snape's class this year." Neville says.
"You, of all people?" Ron says.
"Well he has been a bastard to me this past 6 years; I just hope he is going to be alright this year. I can't blow up another cauldron just because I'm afraid of him. I do have NEWTS to score this year."
~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~
Snape class turn out to be not bad at all. He stills the same old bastard but he is not as bad as before.
'Well for one thing he didn't deduct any point from Gryffindor yet'.
Hermione was paired with Draco and it is a good thing since both of them are very good in potion.
"Class dismiss." Snape shout.
Students rushed out towards the great hall all except Hermione. "Miss Granger aren't you going to the hall?"
"Yes professor, but can I have a moment please." Hermione walk towards Snape work table.
"Yes Miss Granger? I am a busy man; if you don't have anything important to do then I suggest you go to the Great hall. Now."
"Well I just want to ask if I can have extra classes or something."
" Why miss Granger? Is it not enough for you to have the highest mark in Hogwarts that you are greedy enough to have more?"
Hermione ignore his sarcasm "Well although I have the highest potion mark in school but potion IS my lowest mark compared to the others."
Snape look at Hermione." Do you really want it?" Hermione nodded
"Friday, 7 o'clock sharp. Now get out."
"Thank you sir." Hermione walk with a smile towards the great hall.
~~~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday comes and it is 6.59 P.M, Hermione is in front of Snape work office. At the stroke of 7.00pm, Hermione knock the door in front of him.
"Enter."
Hermione enter the workroom. "Good evening sir."
She looks at Snape. She always adores the way Snape works. The way he chops, stirred Hermione just like it.
"Are you going to stand there all night or you can start chopping the ingredients over there" he says with his left hand pointing to a work table nearby."
"Sorry sir." Hermione walk to the table and start chopping.
~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a month and Hermione has been having extra Potions classes' everyday(she insisted on having more classes than Friday).She has been a big help to Snape. Hermione helps him brew potions for Madam Pomfrey storage. Snape has always satisfied with Hermione's work but today she seems distracted.
"Miss Granger, are you alright." Snape look at Hermione with a concerned look.
"Hum, what? Oh I'm sorry sir. What did you say?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine sir. What give you the idea that I'm not okay?"
"Well, for one thing you are NOT concentrate. It's very unlike you. What happened, tell me."
"I'm sorry sir, you are right. It's not like me to be like this. It is just, I received a letter from my."
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes. Well, Victor decided that I'm not good enough for him. So we broke up."
Snape give her a look.
"Well if you ask me, I think Mr. Krum is stupid."
"May I ask you why sir?" she looks a bit amused
"Well he just let go the most talented, smartest and beautiful girl away. You deserved a lot better person than him Miss. Granger. Just get over him, there are a lot of better men out there." Snape give her an encouraging look.
"Thanks sir, I don't know what to do without you." She walks towards Snape and hug him.
"You are most likely welcome miss. Granger."
"Professor Can I ask you a favor?"
"What is it Miss. Granger?"
"Can you call me Hermione?"
"Sure but what if the other teachers heard? I'm afraid if they won't be comfortable with it."
"Oh come on, you are the only teacher who still calling me Miss. Granger. I'm sure they won't mind."
"Okay then, Hermione." Snape says with a smile." Let's continue our walk shall we?"
"Sure" Hermione continue chopping her ingredient.
"So Miss.Grang-I'm sorry I mean Hermione are you going to enter the competition?" Snape ask while stirring the cauldron in front of him.
"I think I'm going to enter since my friends keep encouraging me." Hermione says while carefully putting the ingredient in the cauldron. "But I still want to think about it."
"What to think about? I know you can sing. Don't give me that look; you think I didn't hear you when you sing in the store room?" Snape give Hermione a smirk.
"Alright, alright I will enter on one condition."
"What is it?" Snape ask.
" You have to sing too. I challenge you."
"Oh no, I won't do it." Snape says.
"Pleasee."
"No, and it is final."
"Okay but at least you have to be there. I don't know if I can sing if you're not around."
"And why is that?"
"You always gave me strength professor."
~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~
Hermione is walking towards the Great Hall when she heard Lavender and Dean Voice.
"Lavender how could you do this to me. I thought you love me."
"No Dean you're wrong way. I didn't kiss him. I..."
"Hell, I saw what you did. Lavender Brown from today onwards we don't have any
relationship anymore.
"Dean, No..." Lavender began to cry.
Hermione decided not to interfere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is two weeks before the competition. Students are busy preparing for the competition and the ball. They didn't waste their Hogsmade visits. Every chance to Hogsmade they use to buy clothes and accessory.
Hermione and Draco walk towards Madam Elian clothes shop. They are going to buy clothes for Draco.
"You are not going to buy your clothes 'Mione?"
"I've bought it ages ago."
"So, what song are you going to sing?" Draco ask
"If I tell you, I have to kill you "She says with a smile.
"You know 'Mione, you have a very nice smile."
"I thank you Draco.So any particular color we are looking for?"
"Hmm I don't know. Hey, I thought you are supposed to help me."
"I forgot that's why you ask me to come along. Let's go to that section."
~~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After they bought Draco's clothes, they decide to have some ice cream at Mr. Jackpot ice cream parlour.They settle down with two cones of chocolate ice cream.
"Who is that girl with Dean?" Hermione ask
"Oh, she is Marina, a Ravenclaw. If I'm not mistaken that is his what, fifth girlfriend in two month." Draco answered while licking his ice-cream.
"Lavender had been crying all this while. I began to feel sorry for her."
"Let them. I'm sure they will settle their problem sooner or later. Let's go back."
"Yeah let's go."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems that the Great Hall is even noisier than usual. Here and there people are talking about the competition. Hermione is walking towards her usual table when she came across a group of Hufflepuff talking. Hermione couldn't help herself listening to their conversation.
"I heard Robin going to sing." Says a plump girl Hermione recognize as Anna Linchen
"You're joking right? Come on we all know that he sings like a frog." says another girl that Hermione didn't recognize.
"Well, lets' just hope he won't make a fool on himself." Another girl says.
~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~
Again, Hermione thinks that the Great Hall is the noisiest place she has ever been. However, when Dumbledore stand up to give his speech, the hall becomes soundless.
"Students since we are having both the Christmas ball and the singing competition on the same day, I've been thinking and after much consideration I have decided that we are going to hold the competition on Christmas Eve instead. I also think after two busy day, we deserve two days off. Classes going to start again on Wednesday. You may continue your conversation."
If Hermione thinks that the Hall was noisy before, well she is wrong. The Great Hall is even louder. Students become more excited.
"I need to get out from here.'
Hemione walk out from the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione went to the dungeon to continue her work.
"Professor, do you know what is the special performance is?" Hermione ask while stirring her cauldron. Snape who grading student essays just look up and give her a smile. "You know professor; you do look younger when you smile. You should do it often" Snape just give her smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two week has past and today is the day.The competition going to start at 7.00pm.Since it is a formal occasion dress robes are required.
Students began to fill the Great Hall by six. A stage has been set at the Head Table, by six thirty students began to settle down. The teachers sit together with their student at their respective table however professor Snape are not anywhere to be seen.
"Hello Seamus."
" Hello Ginny"
" Well Seamus we are here hosting the first ever singing competition in Hogwarts. Welcome lady's and gentlemen, without further do let's welcome our first participant Mr. Dean Thomas."
Dean walk towards the stage and he sit on a stool in the middle of the stage. He looks at Lavender.
"Good evening..." the music started and he began to sing..
