Drying his face with his sleeve, Severus Snape looked at the 5 people who were on the ground beat red from laughing.

"Miss Granger you will be spending the remainder of your detention with me," said Snape icily before turning and storming away.

His announcement sobered everyone, making everyone look guiltily at his or her feet.

Sirius was the first one to talk, "Oh, I'm sorry Hermione. It's my fault I shouldn't have thrown the rag at him. I'll go talk to him-"

"Don't worry Sirius, anyway it was worth it. Did you see the look on his face, priceless," said Hermione.

"Hermione, Snape is not that bad. He's not the slimy git he used to be." Said Draco.

"I know and anyways it makes yours and Sirius' bonding time easier," smiled Hermione.

"Oh poor Mione has to spend her evenings in the dungeons," said Harry, which got him a wet rag in the face courtesy of Draco.

"God Potter do you know how bad you make it sound?"

Everyone in the room seemed to develop a case of the shivers.

Standing up from where he was sitting on the ground, Draco walked over and helped a wet Hermione to get up

Slipping on her robes Hermione fell into Draco's arms.

"Gosh you certainly are clumsy," said Ginny who had just been helped to her feet by her boyfriend.

"I think she just likes being in my arms," smirked Draco.

"Well now that we're all wet; I think I can dismiss Hermione from her detention and I advise you all to go get changed; the castle has been to cold recently and I don't want any of you to get sick."

With that said Hermione and Draco went back to their Head rooms, while Harry and Ginny made their way to Gryffindor common room.

As the week went by Hermione got that prickly feeling in the back of her mind again.

Every morning Hermione and Draco did the same routine: Kiss and Pinch.

They both figured if they did this often enough that people wouldn't have a problem seeing them together.

The only thing the achieved however was to get everybody else to do the Kiss and Pinch.

It had started with Ginny and Harry, they had purposely arrived after Draco and Hermione so that they could show them what a real kiss was.

Soon however it sort of became a tradition all couples would do the Kiss and Pinch.

The time Hermione spent in the dungeons was not spent like she originally thought it would, washing cauldrons.

Professor Snape had told her that she would be helping him research and brew some complex potions for the ministry.

It seems that Remus Lupin had been very successful in his job to cure incurable diseases; he just hasn't had that much luck with how to improve the Wolfsbane potion.

So it was up to Hermione and Snape to brew and test the potions on Flobberworm's.

Draco had tried to get a detention and had succeeded in doing it; he just had to serve it with Professor McGonagall.

Each night Draco would walk Hermione to and back from her detentions, he didn't say it but Hermione could tell that he was worried about what had happened the first night back form summer holidays.

Hermione still hadn't told Draco exactly what had happened; to be truthful she didn't even know.

Hermione and Snape had at first been civil towards each other, but by the end of her last detention they had grown in to good friends.

Hermione had always respected him, but she had always thought he was . odd.

Snape had learned to respect her and actually listen to some the advice she had given; he just had a hard time admitting when he was wrong.

Tonight Draco had Qudditch practice so that meant Hermione would have to walk home alone.

Draco had told her this morning that he was Slytherin Qudditch Captain.

At the end of her last detention Professor Snape had asked Hermione if she wanted to keep helping him with his research, and of course she had answered that she would love to

Hermione was walking through the dungeons when a she was shoved from behind and knocked into the wall, thankfully this time she was conscious, turning around she saw non other then .
