Disclaimer: HARRY POTTER IS NOT MINE!
A/N: Thank you all so much for your kind reviews! There's a band called Suicidal Tendencies? I'll be sure to check that out. . . Nah, I just put that because the shirt I wore yesterday says: "I have suicidal tendencies", which I do, so there you go. Well, I've decided to try and make this chapter long because I was looking back at the other ones and those were just weak. Well here it is, enjoy!
Back in Black
Chapter 4
"How in the bloody hell does Dumbledore think that Snape and I are capable of working together?!" Hermione was getting aquainted with her new quarters by fuming, and quite loudly at that. She was about to scream bloody murder when a new thought crossed her mind ". . .murder. . .she could absolutely piss off Snape and he would murder her! Oh, of course that will never work. . ." Hermione looked up at the clock. "SHIT!" According to that quartz she was 15 minutes late for her meeting with Snape. 'Hey, maybe if I'm late enough, he will kill me. . ."
*knock* *knock*
"Enter." Came the voice of Severus Snape. "Ms. Granger, you are late. Not that someone such as yourself could be expected to be on time, but mine is important and you have just wasted it." He spat. 'Still the same greasy git as always. At least some things never change." Hermione thought.
"I do not want you here anymore than you want to be here, but the fact of the matter is I'm stuck with you." He gave her a harsh glare. "Now. You will be expected to keep the student cubbord fully supplied and overview students in there potion making. If I see you helping just one Gryffindor, I'll kill you."
And then, something odd happened. . .Hermione smiled. She nodded in comprehension then left. This left Severus siverely confused. Then the realization hit him as he thought back on what he had said. 'Shit! Pure brillance Severus, wonderful choice of words.'
"Hello Professor McGonagal!" Hermione sang cheerfully. 'They must have her on some SERIOUS medication.' McGonagal thought.
"Hello Hermione, dear." She answered a little uncertainly. The meeting continued pleasently enough, Hermione was assigned her duties as a transfiguration assistant, and even made small talk over tea. When she left, McGonagal was utterly conused. 'Is that the same Hermione Granger that Snape related to a vampire?'
Later that day, Severus sat in his dungeon working, but couldn't even concentrate on the simple healing potion that he was making. 'That's it! I can't take this anymore, I need to find that blasted girl!'
He looked just about everywhere. He eventually found her in the library, hovering over a book called The Code of Bushido. 'Oh that's just perfect. Now she's reasearching ways of killing hersefl with a kitana. . .' Snape thought. Just then he realized that he didn't have a purpose to his visit. He had been looking for her for almost two hours. . .Why? There was nothing else for it, he decided to try Albus's tactic of being civil. Of course, being Snape, having a civil conversation was about as likely as finding a needle in a haystack. The convo started off well enough until he asked something he probably shouldn't have. . .
"What made you want to do it, Miss Granger? What could have possibly been so bad as making you want to throw away something as prescious as your life?"
"And what do you care, Professor Snape? Since when were the worries of some stupid Gryffindor your concern?"
"Maybe since when of the brightest young witches Hogwarts has even seen tried to kill herself?"
Hermione was about to open her mouth to retort when she fainted. No signs of warning, no nothing. Severus was afraid she had gotten ahold of something else, so he rushed her to the infirmy and into Poppy's care.
(2 hours later, Infirmy waiting room)
"Albus you don't think she could have taken something else do you?" Snape asked with a slightly shaky voice.
"No my boy, but there is definetly something different with her.-'yeah, everything' Snape thought.-and we will just have to wait for Poppy to tell us what's wrong." Dumbledore answered.
As if on cue, Poppy stepped out of the room she was examining Hermione in. "Well, I can tell you why she fainted, and believe me she will probably faint again as soon as she wakes up and we tell her. . . Hermione is pregnant."
