A/N: I guess, to make up for the shortness of Chapter 9, I'll have to make this one long. *sticks her tounge out* I hate this....it's too early in the morning to write...especially on a day off from school.... *falls asleep on her keyboard* sjfda;krh ;iwe njcvrtp *snore*
Hermione was happy to know Dumbledore's opinion on the whole ordeal, and what he was planning on doing to Ron, but she still planned on going ahead with the secret plan she and Severus had devised months ago. Of course, she wasn't about to tell Dumbledore that. She turned to Severus and whispered in his ear.
After lunch, Hermione and Snape went back into the dungeons. Hermione's old Potions class was next. Hermione stood next to Snape at the desk, mixing ingredients and taking notes. She was trying to develop the potion they needed. Snape stared at Ron. Little did he know, he was the butt of this whole plan. Snape tore has gaze away from Ron and started studying Hermione. At that moment, Hermione and Snape were summoned to Dumbledore's office.
"Severus, you won't be very surprised at this. I have several letters here calling for your resignation." Dumbledore looked at the professor, and then at Hermione. There was a look of horror upon her face to beat all other looks of horror. Her hand unconsciously went to her stomach. Dumbledore continued. "I have assured all these parents that the whole situation would be cleared by graduation, or you would have to resign."
"Albus, I can't resign. There's no place else for me...." Snape stopped as he caught on. "Oh..." He put an arm around Hermione. "By graduation, she will no longer be a student, so it won't be a student/teacher relationship!" Dumbledore nodded, blue eyes sparkling. "Thank you so much, Albus!" They left, hurrying back to the dungeons. Snape walked back in to find peace and quiet. No one would dare talk, because he could have come back in at any moment.
Hermione went back to mixing the potion, and it turned a bright, glowing blue. Snape smiled. "That's just about right, Mione, you can leave it to simmer. We just need to add one more thing." He looked pointedly at Ron. Hermione sat in one of the chairs behind his desk, sinking into the soft chair. For the rest of the lesson, she absentmindedly played with the green velvet on the arm of the chair.
Snape watched her fingers run up and down along the arm, and it drove him wild. At that moment, he wanted her more than anything. But of course, he only had to wait one more month until graduation. Then Hermione was his forever. When the lesson was over, the rest of the day was empty, so he and Hermione went into the bedroom and began to talk about graduation.
Eventually, it was dinner time, and they walked to the Great Hall early, so they wouldn't be as noticed. Fat chance of that happening. Hermione was just beginning to show, and she drew many looks, from girls as well as almost every guy in the school. They reached the staff table and Hermione sat down, again to talk with Snape and Dumbledore.
Two weeks passed, and the weather grew warmer and warmer. Hermione and Snape walked around the grounds, and Hermione's excitment grew. She was graduating a year early, leaving Harry and Ron behind. She had always tried to tell them that working hard would get you somewhere, but they were content with Quidditch and other frivolous things. Oh well. She no longer cared about them.
After another week, Hermione was beginning to feel as if the week would never end. She wanted to be with Snape forever, without anyone interfering. Like Ron probably would. Ron and his family were staying, with Harry, to watch the graduation. She didn't want Ron to make a scene.
Ron sat in his dorm room, thinking. He had been watching Hermione and Snape today, and they seemed very happy together. Hermione was glowing, and Snape was actually smiling...for the first time in 6 years, he had seen Snape smile. He was afraid.
Several more days had passed, and Hermione was becoming uneasy about the whole thing. She lay on the bed, trying to sleep. She was having horrible dreams, and tossing and turning, throwing the covers off the bed. She woke with a start, scaring Snape out of his restful sleep.
"Hermione? What's wrong?" He laid a hand on her arm, and she relaxed.
"Nothing...nothing at all." She snuggled close to him and fell back to sleep.
She awoke the next day, and got ready to go to breakfast. She threw on some robes and woke Snape. They walked up to breakfast together, Hermione still drawing nasty looks from the girls and catcalls from the guys. They sat at their seats, and talked with Dumbledore.
"So, Hermione, only two more days! How do you feel?" Dumbledore smiled at her.
"To tell the truth, really nervous. I've been nervous about a lot of stuff lately. You know, the baby, the graduation. There's just a lot of stress." Dumbledore nodded knowingly.
"You'll be fine, Hermione. I know you will." She smiled up at the benign old man sitting next to her.
When breakfast was over, Severus started classes, and Hermione sat in the green velvet chair, watching Ron. When the potion was at full bubble again, Hermione added the hair. The potion crackled and turned a pale blue color. It was ready.
Hermione went to the Great Hall early, and dumped a little bit of the sweet flavored potion in Ron's goblet. She knew he would sit here. He had sat in that same spot all year. She quickly slipped out of the hall just in time to slip into the crowd and meet Severus. The plan was complete.
Hermione was halfway through her food when Ron picked up the goblet. Hermione and Snape both watched, trying not to seem TOO obvious. Ron, still listening to Harry, took a sip of the pumpkin juice. Hermione and Snape waited, and were not disappointed.
There was a loud POP! and everyone looked at the Gryffindor table. Ron had turned into a girl. He/She looked in the goblet at the reflection there and screamed. It was high-pitched. The entire hall burst into laughter, save Ron and Harry. Harry stared, jaw open, at his best friend.
Ron stood and ran out of the entrance hall, Harry following soon after. Hermione stopped laughing and drank some pumpkin juice. When she set the goblet down, Dumbledore was looking at her, an amused smile on his face. She turned red.
"Hermione, this was of your doing, wasn't it?" She burst out laughing, and Dumbledore needed no other answer. He shook his head, still smiling.
In the boys dorm room, Ron was hiding in his four-poster, and Harry was tugging at the curtains.
"Ron, how bad can it be? Everyone already saw you at dinner, so you can come out. I doubt anything bad will really happen." The curtains slowly opened, and Harry gaped at the figure on the bed.
Ron's hair had gotten a foot longer, much shinier, and fell over his shoulders in soft waves. His eyes were brighter and more defined, and his lashes were longer. Harry couldn't help but stare.
"I told you it was bad!" Harry was not surprised that his voice had changed as well.
"Ron, it's not that bad! You look like your sister, except older. And your sister is pretty damn cute!" Ron groaned in exasperation and pulled the curtains shut again. Harry sat down on his four-poster and began to try to convince Ron to come out again.
Hermione sat down on the bed and kicked her shoes off. She got back up to change into her nightgown, then got back into bed slowly. Snape walked in and laid down next to her.
"Only 3 months left. How are you feeling?" She looked at him.
"Fine, I guess. I'm just glad the vomiting is over." She made a face. "That was horrible!" He hugged her, and they went to sleep.
They woke up the next morning, and Hermione went to see Dumbledore. She had to be fitted for graduation robes. She walked into his office, very nervous. He looked up at her when she walked in, and she looked at the gorgeous robes. They were a deep blue and shimmered when they moved. She quickly shed her black robes and donned the gorgeous blue ones.
"They look wonderful, Albus!" Dumbledore smiled.
"You look very nice, Hermione...very distingushed. So, there's only 1 day left. How do you feel?" His blue eyes searched her and made her feel even more nervous.
"Incredibly nervous. What if Ron starts a scene?" Dumbledore laughed, which didn't make Hermione feel any better.
"He won't. I promise." Hermione nodded, switched robes, and left the office, waving over her shoulder as she left.
A/N: God, that chapter was short. Anyway, the next chapter is the graduation. Finally! Anyway, I have a special thank-you to make, since I seem to be making them a lot lately.
Sarah- Without you, I would still be drawing a blank when it came to punishing Ron. Your plan just made total sense. BTW, here's another weird thing about it. My friend, Nichole, got three hamsters and named them Hermione, Harry, and Ron, and Ron turned out to be a girl. Hehe! Luv ya!
Nichole- Love you too! And your fluffy cute hamsters! LOL! Keep practicing!!!!
