A/N - Thankyou to everyone who was nice enough to review, I'm so glad you did! By the way - The prank they played on Snape was to make his voice sound like a chipmunk during class. =P Man I wish I had magic! I'm finally updating, Woo hoo!
Chapter Two
"Where did 'Mione go? Ron . . . RON!" Harry was getting annoyed at his friends lack of attention, what they were doing was important.
"Sorry . . What did you want to know?" Ron was trying to concentrate, but he had a feeling that he and Harry had missed something, something important.
"I asked you where Hermione was." Harry gathered all of the ingredients they had collected yesterday at Hogsmeade.
"Hermione? Oh, she's with Snape . . . Harry!" Ron looked excited all of a sudden "Harry, we've forgotten the most important thing of all!"
Harry looked up at his friend in confusion, "What could we have possibly forgotten? We went over that list three times in Hogsmeade yesterday, and I just checked everything again."
"Harry, look, the book says we need a 'personal item' from the person we are going to give the potion to! We didn't write that down because we couldn't have bought it from a shop" Ron was looking upset at the prospect they had forgotten, they must have that item, they had to make this potion, it was for Hermione.
"Well, I do have an invisibility cloak, don't I? We can use that to get something from his rooms." Harry was thinking quickly, "If we go now while Snape is with Hermione we should be in and out before he knows any better."
* * * * * * * * * *
While her two best friends were planning to steal something from Snapes' room, Hermione was with him in the classroom for her second detention. She hoped it wouldn't be to bad.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Miss Granger," Snape had an ugly scowl on his face "I have had a 'request' from Dumbledore that you should spend this evenings' detention with . . . Hagrid." He didn't sound happy about this at all, "However, if you wish to stay here you are quite welcome."
Hermione snorted. As if she was welcome to stay, as if any sane-minded person would voluntarily stay with Snape. Well Malfoy would, but she did mention the word 'sane'.
"If I may Professor Snape, I would like to go with Hagrid." Bet you saw that coming didn't you Professor.
"I will see you tomorrow then, after the evening mean, Miss Granger." How he hated Dumbledore sometimes. Interfering old man, but he did command a certain respect, and after what he did for him, Snape wasn't going to ignore his wishes. Also it would be good to get back to his rooms and relax a little before the school week started and he had to put up with all those troublesome students.
* * * * * * * * * *
Harry and Ron were in Snapes' room and had just taken a quill from a set that was on his supply desk when they heard something outside. There was no mistaking that noise, footsteps, long striding footsteps that belonged to no other than Professor Snape himself.
Harry and Ron scrambled under the cloak that Harrys' father left him, just before the doors opened and Snape swept in. The boys could tell he was in a bad mood from the scowl he wore and a look in his eyes that would shame a balisk. He was muttering something about Death Eaters and Dumbledore. They boys looked at each other, how were that going to get out? They were in his bedchamber's and they had to pass through his shower room and the main lounge before they could get out. Snape shed his outer robes and headed towards the shower.
"Harry, we have to get out of here, like now, before he realises we are here." Ron whispered in a voice so low Harry could hardly make out what he was saying.
They heard the sound of running water and relaxed a bit, allowing themselves to talk in louder voices.
"Do you honestly think I don't know that? Or maybe you thought I wanted to stay here all day." Harry snapped, he was trying to work out what to do and didn't want any interruptions, but it was Ron interrupting that gave him the idea.
"Oh, I wish 'Mione was here, even if she does look to books to work everything out."
"Ron!" Harry yelped "You are a genius." Ron was looking at Harry as if he was mad, but Harry was quick to explain his idea.
"Listen, when we came in here looking for this," Harry illustrated this remark by pulling out the quill out from his robes and waving it in front of Rons face almost causing him to sneeze, "And we saw all those books? Well one of them was a screaming book. . ."
Ron just looked baffled and was wondering whether or not Harry needed medication, Harry saw the look and sighed
"Listen, if we open it Snape will hear and come in to close it, right?" Ron nodded, "When he walks past us we can make a break for the door, the noise will cover our escape"
Ron got the idea, he smiled. When he reached over to grab the book he noticed the binding on it and had an idea of his own. He unlatched it and threw it as hard as he could behind them and into a cabinet. The book flew open and let out an earpiercing scream, needless to say it had the desired effect.
Snape hurried out of the showers dripping wet, but luckily for the two boys he had grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. Surprisingly it was white, a great contrast to his normally black attire. It looked almost . .good on him. He rushed straight past him and almost touched them from where they were cowering.
They started to edge their way out into the shower rooms when they heard a moan of pain from behind them, they spun around apprehensive. Snape was leaning over the book, he had managed to shut it, he was holding his forearm with an intense look on his face. There was a mark on his arm, it was as black as night and glowing.
With that distracting him, they raced back to the main rooms and out of the door. From there they didn't wait to see if he noticed them, they ran all the way back to their dorms and decided not to talk about anything until the next day.
* * * * * * * * * *
Hermione, the one Harry and Ron were going through all the trouble for, was sitting with Hagrid in his little cabin, they were talking about the two aforementioned boys.
"I have to do detention with Snape for a week For a stupid prank they decided to play on him." Hermione was angry at the both of them and she wasn't about to back down.
"I know, but they were sorry weren't they? And I'm sure they didn't mean for you to get in trouble did they?" Hagrid agreed that she shouldn't have got detention (That was why she was in his cabin talking to him and not with Snape) But he couldn't see that Harry would try to get her in trouble.
"Well they didn't look very sorry when I said I couldn't go with them to Hogsmeade with them, indeed they looked relieved and Ron couldn't hide his grin!" Hagrid could hear the anxiety in her voice when she asked,
"Do you think they are . . are trying to get rid of me?"
"No, no I'm sure they wouldn't do that." He sighed and went on "I'll talk to them if you want me to" When he said this last sentence he could see the relief and gratitude flowing into her face. He sighed again.
Hermione stood up to leave, her detention was over, she smiled her thankyou to him and stepped out into the shadowy night. Her small dark form was gone as soon as she started back to the Hogwarts building.
Hagrid stroked his whiskers thoughtfully, what were those boys up to this time?
* * * * * * * * * *
Back in his rooms Snape went over the damage in his mind. He was missing a quill, his quill. He almost smiled at the memory of getting that quill and rubbed his forearm. It was a part of him, literally.
* * * * * * * * * *
A/N - Well, what do you think of this chapter? I changed it like so many times, and I'm still not sure I like it. Input and even flames (if constructive) would be very much liked! Zelur
