A/N: Kay k. I'm at home and typing BEFORE school starts so any reviews that
I have gotten I will not get right now. Anyway . . . Sorry to leave you all
in suspense, but . . . I was overcome with sleep and could not sit up
straight. I would have typed more despite that, but my sister said that I
either turn off my computer, or get mauled. I turned off my computer.
Oh! And before I leave you to my story, I am feeling incredibly cruel today because of something yesterday (I HATE TEACHERS!!!!), so watch out.
And now for something completely deadly: The Story
Very strange indeed. Minerva thought to herself as she walked into her office. Albus' head sat like an egg in the fire, Severus and Hermione were nowhere to be seen, and Cavan (though she didn't know his name) was hissing and spitting at Dumbledore.
She would have laughed had there not been the puzzling disappearance of Snape and her number one student (Who isn't a student anymore.), she reminded herself sternly.
"Albus?" She asked.
"Yes Minerva?" He answered.
"Severus and Hermione?" She asked, currently not coherent enough to ask the whole question.
"They are back in the dungeons. I Flooed them there. I told Hermione that her cat," Here he gestured at the hissing and spitting black and white fur ball. "Would be quite safe here for the time being."
She sputtered.
"Minerva, perhaps you should sit down." He said kindly.
"Yes. I think that would be a good idea." She said vaguely.
"Well, I guess I must be on my way, as I have a million things I have to get done before the start of term . . ." He said before there was "pop!" and he disappeared.
Minerva sighed. She was quite used to the strange happenings at Hogwarts, but they never ceased to amaze her. She looked at the now quiet cat. She sighed again. She wondered how long she would have to watch the cat.
"What's your name, hmm?" She said to Cavan.
He purred.
Not much of an answer, she sighed again.
"We should probably contact Hermione, shouldn't we?" She continued to talk to Cavan for the next hour, but meanwhile in the dungeons . . .
~! ~! ~! ~! ~!
"God dammit Severus! She almost caught us!" Hermione yelled.
"Well it's not my fault you let that stupid cat run loose around the school!" Severus roared back.
"It just so happens that that "stupid cat" was a gift from you so it's not really my fucking fault!" She was working herself into a rage and was using more Muggle slang terms than she meant to.
"So now you're blaming it all on me?!" He yelled.
"If that's how you see it, yes!" Hermione had control over herself now, and was talking in a normal volume. Both of them were so wrapped up in the argument that neither of the heard the small "pop" from the fireplace.
Severus had called Hermione something close to "whore" and she lost it again.
"Stupefy!" She said softly, and Severus fell to the floor, stunned.
She walked over to him and pinned him down, and then she muttered "Enervate" and he awoke.
"Severus, I have done some stupid things in my life yes, but never, NEVER have I done anything nearly as stupid as what you just accused me of. I honestly thought you knew me better than that, but I suppose not. If you even think that I would sleep around just to get good grades in school or just for the hell of it you've got another thing coming you fucking ass-!" She was interrupted by an amused cough from the fireplace.
"Pardon me for interrupting." Said Remus Lupin's head, "But I was only going to ask Severus here for my monthly dose of Wolfsbane Potion as it is nearing the full moon."
"Of course." Severus said, gently nudging Hermione off him.
"Hermione, I wouldn't suggest getting on the bad side of Snape." Remus advised as Severus was in his office fetching the potion.
"I know Remus. But I don't know if you heard, but he called me a slut, for lack of a better word."
"Oh yes. I heard that part." He said, humor tainting his voice.
"Remus, you're potion." Severus said as he came back in.
Remus took the flask still grinning. Hermione looked at the fireplace bemusedly.
There was a cough behind her.
"What?" She snapped, turning around.
"I'm sorry." Severus said, taking a step closer to the mantelpiece. "Can you forgive me?"
"What?" Hermione said again in disbelief.
"Can you forgive me for saying that?" He said, it seemed as though it was costing him a lot to say this.
"I - I - Yes. I can. And I'm sorry for everything I just put you through." She said.
Snape walked over to her and shook her hand, this was all colleague now, no Severus.
"Apology excepted."
