They walked down to the great hall together. Passing through the deserted corridors savoring the quiet times before the students start to roam through them when they got to the doors, Snape went through first and Hermione followed. Everyone was eating. They sat down and did the same. After everyone was done, Professor Dumbledore stood up.

"Now that everyone is full, there are some announcements. Firstly the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Professor Hermione Granger." Hermione stood up and everyone clapped. "Also, First years note, the forest is out of bounds. Mr. Filch wants to remind you, the list of forbidden magical items became very long since Weasley's Wizarding wheezes opened. Please check the lists posted in your common rooms if you haven't already. Now, if you'll just follow the prefects, that is be all." Dumbledore ended.

All of the teachers left except three. Hermione, Dumbledore, and Snape needed to talk. Hermione stood up and walked down to where they sat on the other side of the table.

"Now, for you living conditions. You have two options. Stay with Snape in the dungeons is the first. The second is stay in you quarters just for a little bit and then move into Snape's guest room. What would you like to do?" Dumbledore asked.

Hermione thought about this. She did not want to sleep in the cold damp dungeons. Then again she would have to sooner or later. She wanted later.

"I choose a little later on." Hermione said firmly. "I mean, won't the death eaters get a little suspicious if I start living in there straight away?" She covered up.

"Yes, yes, I suppose you are right. Severus, will you show her to her rooms. I think you know the way." Dumbledore agreed with a certain twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes of course headmaster." Snape said. When Dumbledore left the room he turned to Hermione. "Nice cover up." He ended with his famous smirk. Hermione blushed.

"Follow me." He walked out of the great hall with Hermione at his heals.

A/N: Okay, really short, I know! But the way I did this it will work out. If you aren't familiar with how I update, here's the scoop: I update around once a week, sometimes more, never less!!! And oh ya, most chapter will be longer then this!

I hope that you like this. CrazySwimmer27 and I were going to co-write this story, and then she didn't want to do it anymore and gave it to me. We already had this planned for the next chapter. After this, it is all me writing {though she told me what she wants to happen, I will just put it into words and add more things maybe.}

Please review to tell me how to make this better!!!!! Also, she has no idea where this story was going, I kind of do. But please give me ideas so I can improve mine!!!
