A/N: Again I own nothing. Thanks for all the nice reviews you all like it a lot more than I thought you would thank you so much.
Ron and Harry looked like that was the last thing they had expected Hermione to say. They sat there for a moment looking dumbstruck. Then Ron burst out.

"Gods damned that fucking son of a bitch teacher!" Ron roared.

"That man isn't fit to be called a teacher much less anything less than a fucking ingrate." Added Harry.

That ranting and raving went on for a good 15 minutes before Hermione stepped in.

"Calm down both of you. I don't want you two doing anything that will cause you or ME any kind of trouble got it?" "I am handling this myself."

"But you NEED OUR help." Said Ron as if it were the only obvious explanation.

"No I don't, not this time. I will be fine." Replied Hermione.

"Are you sure?" Pleaded Harry.

"Yes but thank you both." Said Hermione forcing a weak smile.

Hermione got up and started down to dinner with Ron and Harry fuming behind her. As soon as they got the house table Ron and Harry immediately stared up at the staff table at Snape who had his eyes locked on Hermione as son as she entered the room.

She sat down and looked at Harry and Ron,

"Sit down, you're drawing attention to yourselves."

So they sat. But they kept glancing up at Snape who seemed to always be looking at Hermione but she didn't seem to notice or care.

"Do you realize Snape is staring at you?" Ron hissed.

"Yes but maybe if he thinks I don't care he will stop." Said Hermione.

Harry and Ron just couldn't stand this they were afraid they would do something that Hermione wouldn't like so they got up and left. Well Hermione couldn't sit there without Harry and Ron so she got up but she didn't go back to the tower. She went to the library and started looking through books again. She came across one thing that might prove interesting. It was a mind control spell but the person had to be no more than 25 feet away from the person they were controlling. Every time she talked to Dumbledore she thought she was alone. She might not have been when she ran into him in the hall. But she was defiantly alone when she was on the stairs to his office. She that idea was a dead end.

After she had gotten her hopes up for nothing she went to bed depressed. When she woke up she went down to breakfast for the first time in three days. When she got to the great hall she went straight to her seat in between Ron and Harry, she never even looked up at the staff table.

Ron and Harry were whispering to each other about what they would like to do to Snape when Hermione snapped.

"Shut up I should have never told you two, why don't you just stay out of it, it has nothing to do with you so just butt out." Hermione was almost in Hysterics.

She grabbed her books and left without saying another word. Instead of going to the library like she had planned she went out onto the grounds and decided to take a walk around the lake. Hermione was actually glad she did go out side. She needed to be alone, get fresh air and think. But to her surprise she saw someone walking towards her. It was Hagrid and he was looking at her with concern.

"Hermione what are you doing missing class? I haven't seen you two days."

"I just needed time to think." Hermione lied. "This isn't like you at all Hermione you would die before you missed a class." Hagrid said.

"I know I just."

"No, no you get back to class right now and if I find out you missed another class I will give you detention myself." Threatened Hagrid.

"Okay I will go back." Agreed Hermione.

Hermione reluctantly went back to class. She was two days behind in every class except potions but she quickly made that all up. Teachers had to yell at her constantly to keep her on task or she would start daydreaming. She only paid attention in Potions.

When potions finally rolled around she went to class with Ron and Harry like normal. But today was different today she had a plan. When she got into class she took her seat as normal. But before he told the class the potion for the day he started in on Hermione.

"Miss granger I still don't think you are caught up in my class you will remain after class again today."

"I'm sorry professor but I can't." Replied Hermione.

"What did you just say Miss Granger?" Said Snape shocked.

"I said I can't stay after class today Professor Snape." Hermione repeated.

"And why not?" He yelled.

A/N: Why can't Hermione stay after class??? You will have to wait to find out
