Everyone was cheering. "Voldemort is dead!" and "The end of the Dark Lord!" were what Snape pick out over all the yelling.
"Professor Snape, the Dark Lord is dead! Well, he's not dead, but he got his soul sucked out by a dementor. Isn't it great?" asked a small 3rd year Slytherin.
Snape nodded and quietly retreated to his office. He looked at his arm and where there usually was the Dark Mark, there wasn't a single trace of it there.
He was just about to go out into the hall and start cheering along with everyone else when he remembered Hermione was still in his room. He grabbed the revival potion from his desk and went behind a bookcase and through the passage to his room.

"Hermione, Hermione, are you okay?" Snape asked as she started to come out of her trance and look around.
"Yeah. I think so, but where am I?" Hermione asked, rubbing her head and looking around.
"Well, this is my room. It's really a funny story how you got here. See, about 9 o'clock, I finished asking you questions and was about to give you the revival potion when I heard shouting and chaos from the corridor. The revival potion takes a few minutes and I wanted to check on what was going on. I didn't want to leave you hypnotized and unarmed so I brought you here where you would be safe." Snape explained.
"Okay. I think I get it, but why does my head hurt so much? Is it a normal reaction with that potion?" Hermione asked, rubbing her head again.
"I am afraid that's my fault. You see, the potion I gave you was designed for short-term use only. I left you hypnotized too long and it starts to shut down the brain. It will hurt until your whole brain is up and running. I am really very sorry Hermione." Snape apologized.
"It's all right. With everything that you've had to deal with, I don't blame you for being a little cautious." Hermione said, patting his forearm.
He was taken aback when she did that and yanked his arm away.
'How could she know about the Dark Mark?' Snape thought.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it" she apologized and added, "I'm very tired."
"I'm sorry too." Snape said, patting her shoulder. "Let's get you back to your dormitory.
Hermione stood and wobbled. She sat back down before she fell. Snape grabbed her arm, pulled her to her feet and escorted her to the portrait hole.
"Good night Miss Granger. I hope you feel better. Another Hogsmeade weekend tomorrow. Perhaps I shall see you there." Snape kissed her hand and started back to the staircase.
"Thank you Professor." Hermione said and disappeared through the portrait hole.
Snape walked back to his room, but with difficulty, because Hermione's tone sent chills down his back.
*******************************************
"What a beautiful day!" Hermione exclaimed as she came down the dormitory stairs to the common room the next morning.
"Hermione, are you okay?" Ginny asked. She had she had been feeling better and decided Ron did a good thing and that Voldemort is dead because of it.
"Wait a second Gin, that's not Hermione. When she wakes up, she usually looks like something her cat would drag in." Harry joked.
"Harry, for your information, it is me and I had a wonderful night. Can we please go down to breakfast? I'm starving." Hermione smiled, flipped her hair and disappeared through the portrait hole, with Harry and Ginny right behind her.
"All seventh-year students who are going on the Hogsmeade trip today, please stay in the Great Hall for a brief meeting." Professor McGonagall announced at breakfast.
The Great Hall cleared out and only six students were left. Since most of the 7th years were studying for N.E.W.T.S., only a few gave any thought to going to Hogsmeade.
"As I expected, there are only a few of you. Well that is a good thing, because I only have a few interviewers. The mayor of Hogsmeade has come to me with a request. He would like a few of the older Hogsmeade-going students to be interviewed about places they like in Hogsmeade. You have already been paired with a teacher at random. Have fun today children." McGonagall said and stepped aside as the six teachers behind her stepped forward to gather their student.
"Well Miss Granger, I told you I'd see you today, did I not?" Snape asked, walking up to Hermione and bowing.
"I guess you did. Thank you for what you did. I slept so well." Hermione replied.
Snape simply nodded and went out the door toward Hogsmeade.
Hermione followed him and wondered if Snape had known he would be interviewing her or if he was just going to Hogsmeade and figured he'd see her.
