Disclaimer - I do not own any of the characters in this fic. They are just here to be used and most probably abused by me, the author.
Authors note - I know the whole Snape/Hermione thing has been done so many times, but well, I wanted to do another. Here it is, I hope you enjoy reading it. And of course reviewing it, best part of the whole thing =P
Chapter One
"Hey! 'Mione, wanna come up to Hogsmeade with us for lunch and uh, some shopping?" Ron yelled from across the common room.
"Yeah, we need some in-" Harry received a jab in the ribs, "Some supplies. Yeah, supplies." His brilliant green eyes were flashing, she needed no other indication that they were trying to hide something from her.
"Well, I would very much like to, but if you have forgotten already, I have detention with Snape because of that prank you played on him!"
"Oh, we uh, didn't forget. We just didn't think it would be on a weekend." Ron was quick in replying, but he couldn't hide the grin that spread across his face when he heard that she couldn't come.
To hell with them, Hermione thought uncharitably, I have no wish to know what silly prank that they come up with, really, they are getting worse than Fred and George! Hermione turned her thoughts to the detention she was about to face. Snape. The name made students tremble. No-one, not one other teacher could measure up to the poison in his eyes or the dangerous silky quality in his voice that wreaked havoc on a students nerves. No wonder he was the head of Slytherin.
Hermione shuddered, why Snape? In all her classes, why him? She had let Harry and Ron talk her into finding that spell for them, then into using it on an apple they were going to give to a teacher. She hadn't known they were going to use it on Snape, she never would have done it. He knew she was the only one who could have used that spell, or found it for that matter! She got a weeks detention for that, and on a weekend too, and fifty points off Gryffindor. Slytherin were almost ahead as it is, so she'd better not be late.

Snape was in the potions room. He had better things to do than wait here all day for some silly little Gryffindor who thought it was funny to make everything he said sound like a chipmunk! And of all the people he thought wouldn't be that childish, it was that annoying little know-it-all, Hermione Granger.
Snape was sure it couldn't have only been her, Potter and Weasley probably had something to do with it. They were a trio, always did everything together. Always mucking up in class and thinking they could get away with anything because one of them was The-Boy-Who-Lived. Clearly, Granger was the only one in his class capable of casting such a spell. He could hear soft footsteps in the passage outside. She was here, and probably expecting to get off lightly, she would have to think again about that, no-one get out of anything lightly where Professor Snape was concerned.
* * * * * * * * * *
Hermione was sitting at the desk that she and Neville usually worked at in their potions class. Snape was at his desk with a frown on his face, they had been there for an hour and she was still insisting that the prank was her idea and no-one else knew about it. Snape was certain that Potter and Weasley had something to do with it, but he didn't know why Granger would protect them.
"Miss Granger, for the last time, who else knew about this . . . this prank that was played upon me in my classroom?" He was losing his temper with the girl.
"Professor Snape, I assure you that it was me, and only me, that played that prank." What did he expect? Did he really think she was going to tell him that Harry and Ron were in on the prank too?
"If that is the case Miss Granger, I assume that you will not object by taking a simple truth potion I have brewed for just such an occasion?" He watched her intently as he said this, like a predator watching its prey.
"No, Professor Snape, if you really think it is necessary for me to take the potion I shall." Hermione was perfectly composed. This only served to annoy Snape and confuse him. Could it really be that Granger was telling the truth and had been for the last hour? That she really was the only one who played this prank?
The thought that he, Professor Snape of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, had been wrong, and obstinately so, infuriated him to no end.
"There will be no need to take the potion Miss Granger. However, your punishment for playing such a silly prank on me in the first place shall be to scrub every one o the desks in this room - without magic - and I shall expect you back here tomorrow afternoon at this time. Goodbye" Snape stalked out of the room, leaving in a swirl of his midnight robes.
Maybe he had been to hard on the girl? No, she deserved what she got, she is just lucky that I didn't take more points off Gryffindor. I should have, I am after all the head of Slytherin
Back in the potions room Hermione let her head sink on her arms on the desk. This is going to be one long day.
A/N - Ok, this chapter is a little bit short, but it is the first chapter and the rest should hopefully be longer. I would really like to get some reviews *hint hint* Thanks
