"Because I have detention." Hermione lied.

Snape looked dumb struck and angry all in one.

"Who gave you detention?" Snape snarled.

"Professor Dumbledore did at Hagrids request." Hermione continued looking devastated.

"Fine I will set your tutoring for a later date." Finished Snape.

Snape started class and went on like nothing was out of the ordinary. Hermione felt like she had been in his class forever when the bell finally rang its last time for the day. Hermione left with Ron and Harry to go put their books in their dormitory before dinner.

"When did you get detention?" Harry asked.

"I didn't." Hermione said with a self-satisfied smile on her face.

"What!?" Said Ron shocked.

"You lied?" Continued Harry.

"Yes I wasn't going to stay after class with that ass whole again." Said Hermione growing angry again.

But that's where the conversation ended because they reached the Great Hall. So they took their seats and starting eating. Ron, Harry and Hermione didn't talk much during dinner. But they all kept stealing looks up at Snape. Then Ron asked.

"What happens if Snape asks Dumbledore why he gave you detention?"

"I don't know I didn't think of that." Hermione whispered.

They all looked up at Snape, as if he could read their minds he leaned over and whispered something to Dumbledore who shook his head. Snape smiled and looked back at Hermione with a very menacing look on his face.

"Oh NO!" Cried Hermione. She got up and left. Fast hat her heals where Harry and Ron.

They went straight back up the common room. They all sat in a corner where the entrance was in clear view and held their breath every time someone came in. Their fears were finally confirmed when Professor McGonagall came in. She was looking around the room and when she spotted the three of them she walked over to them.

"Hermione a word please."

"Yes Professor." Hermione said.

They walked to the other side of the room.

"Professor Snape has just informed me that you lied to him about having detention." Professor McGonagall started.

"No, I thought I had detention but when I went to see what time Professor Dumbledore said I didn't have detention anymore." Hermione lied again. She was getting more comfortable with this every time she had to lie.

"Oh well you need to go explain that to Professor Snape." Said McGonagall.

"Can't I just wait until tomorrow in class?" Hermione pleaded.

"No he wants you in his class now." She replied looking sympathetic.

"But."

"No buts Hermione go."

Hermione got her potion things and left without saying another word to anyone. When she reached the classroom she set up her caldron and got out her supplies. Snape didn't seem to be in the room yet so she sat and waited patiently.

When he appeared she took out her quill and parchment as if to take notes.

"Why did you ring your materials?" Snape asked.

"Because you said I had to stay after because I was behind so I am here to catch up on my potions study." Replied Hermione.

"Well that was one reason but then I found out you lied to me to get out of staying after class." Snape said.

"Well I didn't lie at the time I thought I had detention but it turns out I didn't." Said Hermione quickly.

"Well it was still a lie and you're going to have to be punished for lying to me." Snape concluded.

Snape started advancing towards Hermione. She stood there not knowing what to do. When she stood only inches away he reached for her but she jumped out of his grasp. When he jumped for her there was a knock at the door. Snape froze like he didn't know what to do. Hermione and Snape stared at each other.
