Chapter Six Defenses Brought Down (And Put Back Up)
Hermione didn't bother with standing still on the slowly circling steps, she stormed up them like hell was after her.
As she reached the top, she glared at the door.
"Alohomora!" Hermione said softly.
No response, of course.
"Deletrius." The top of the door began to dissolve. Then it stopped.
"Hey Gin, do you know Deletrius?" Hermione asked.
"Of course." Ginny responded.
"On three then."
"One-."
"Two."
"Three!"
"Deletrius!" Yelled three voices.
The door evaporated.
"Why hello." The Headmaster said as the three of them entered his office.
Hermione looked around the office, as though she had not just evaporated the door that blocked out the rest of the world.
"Hello Professor." Hermione said.
"Hello Hermione. Severus, Miss Weasley." Dumbledore acknowledged them all.
"Professor, I'm afraid I have a story to relate to you." Hermione said.
"Well, sit down then. Lemon Drop?" They all declined.
"Might as well start with Professor Snape then." Hermione said to herself.
"Professors." Hermione said louder.
"Yes." Both men looked up.
"This may come as a shock to you both." She said before launching into her story.
"I am a Seer, as all of us here know. Last night I had a dream. I dreamt that Professor Snape died, but not before enduring intense pain."
"Crucio." Snape muttered.
"I dreamt that it all happened here, Professor Dumbledore. I know it's merely a whim, but I think that Professor Snape should stay inside the castle, and that extra wards are placed on the battlements."
"What?" Snape spluttered. He was being put under house (or castle) arrest by an eighteen-year-old!
"I quite agree with you Miss Granger." Albus said, his fingers steepled and his mind contemplating.
"Albus!" Snape cried indignantly.
"Well, I see we all agree." Dumbledore said. Pointedly not saying that Snape had no choice.
Two of the Headmasters three visitors nodded.
Snape stood up.
"I will not, by any means, stay in this castle until her" here he pointed an accusing finger at Hermione "dream has passed! I will not have it!" Snape thundered.
"Yes you will Severus." Dumbledore said, standing up, power radiated from his body, and Snape immediately quailed.
"Umm, Professor." Ginny piped up, "I have to speak to Hermione privately so." She trailed off.
"Yes Miss Weasley. You may go." Dumbledore said kindly.
As they left the office they could hear Snape start shouting, it suddenly cut off as if a Silencing Charm had been placed on the door.
