Backstage:
Godric Gryffindor- Those kids were brought up right.
Salazar Slytherin- Yes, they have managed to keep up with traditions.
Gryffindor- Your house is looking kind of down. You haven't had a famous person since Tom riddle.
Slytherin- Yeah? And who do you have?
Gryffindor- Harry Potter of course! Lets not forget that he defeated your Voldemort!
Slytherin- That scarhead? My Draco Malfoy looks so much better than him. He has grown up to be just like me.
Gryffindor-Oh Yeah, Just like you. That makes alot of sense since he wet the bed until he was ten.
Slytherin- I did not wet the bed until I was ten! *muttering* Well... there was that one time... What are you lookin' at?
a/n(me!)- Hey, what are you guys doing here?
Gryffindor- We're just making sure everyone is doing things right.
Slytherin- Yeah, alot of fics are making Gryffindors and Slytherins friends. Blech! That is so not keeping up with tradition. They shouldn't agree in anything just like Godric and me. Right?
Gryffindor- Right ol' buddy, ol' pal.
Slytherin- Hey what is going on here. Since when have we been buddies?
Gryffindor- Don't look at me. I'm not writing this story.
Slytherin- LEOGIRL!
a/n- On with the show!
Chapter 5
Hermione, apparently, had lost all sense of her old self and no logic or caution was left in that brilliant mind of hers. All she wanted to do was really make those Slytherins sorry, and she was going to take as many risks as was necessary.
It was cleanup weekend, which meant that all the students had to go to Hogsmeade(and the younger kids and people without permission had to stay outside), while the house elves did some extra cleaning and the teachers had
a meeting and (they claimed) talked about important business.
The three just sat around the common room while waiting for the afternoon trip. Harry and Ron were playing chess, and Hermione was just staring at one one page in Hogwarts, A History. She looked up and asked,
"Harry, can I borrow the Marauder's Map?"
Harry, slightly distracted looked up.
"What for?"
"I just need to see the castle for a while."
"Okay, I guess it's alright. It's up in my dormitory," He turned back to his game, "I'll get it later. I could win this one."
Hermione jumped up suddenly,
"No, it's okay. I'll get it!" Harry, didn't here her. Hermione quickly ran upstairs. (a/n: There is no reason to stand around and watch a chess game when you have the opportunity to take a sneek-peek into the boys' dormitories, right, girls? Right.)
Hermione ran up and opened the door, cautiously and looked in. No one was there. She smiled to herself. She could take her time, and Harry didn't tell her exactly where it was so she could do a bit of snooping (a/n: Ooo, naughty Hermione!).
She looked around. Pretty messy. You couldn't tell what belonged to which bed. Hermione circled the room looking at each four-poster. Which was Harry's? She finally just picked one and began rummaging through its bedside table. It mainly consisted of candy wrappers. This was probably Ron's, but she kept looking. She came upon a piece of parchment. Guessing it was unfinished homework, Hermione put it inside her bag to confront Ron later.
Hermione was having so much fun that she completely forgot about the map. She turned to the next bed-side table, and started looking through it, when the door opened.
"Hermione! What are you doing in my drawer?" It was Seamus. Hermione looked up.
"Uh, I was looking for...Harry's drawer's cuz I needed to get something." She shut the drawer and stood up.
"Harry's bed is over there." He pointed to the one on the other side of Ron's.
"Okay, thanks"
Seamus was looking at her suspiciously, but Hermione ignored it. She found the map and ran out the door.
She stuffed the map into her bag and ran over to her dormitory. She was so excited, she took out her diary from her dresser drawer and wrote about her first experience in an all boy environment. There wasn't a whole lot to say since the whole thing had been cut short. She couldn't write much anyway, since Lavender and Parvati came giggling in.
"Did he write back?!" Parvati shrieked.
"No, not yet!"
"Who is it? Come on tell me!!" Lavender silenced her, jerking her head toward Hermione. What was going on? It looked to Hermione that Lavender had just sent a love letter to yet another boy. But why wouldn't they tell her? Oh well, she didn't really care about what they had to say anyway. Then Lavender broke Hermione's confusion.
"Ooo, what've you got there? A diary?"
"No, homework." Hermione snapped the dairy shut and ran out the door. She put it into her bag. Surely, both of them would attack it if she left it there. Hermione spent the rest of the morning working on the map and Hogwarts, A History in the common room.
Suddenly, she jumped up quickly and yelled,
"I got it! Harry, Ron, I figured it out."
Both Ron and Harry looked up.
Ron asked curiously,
"What? Are you going to tell us how you blackmail the Slytherins yet?"
"No, I have to show you something, but not now!"
"Show us what?"
"I'll show you after everyone leaves."
Harry checked his watch.
"We have to meet Mcgonagall at the carriage enterance in ten minutes" Hermione frowned.
"Oh yeah."
She seemed to be thinking really hard. She sighed,
"I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I am, and you guys are going to have to play along. All right?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Just play along, okay?"
Harry shrugged, and just then they had to go get in line to get their names checked off at the carriage enterance. They checked their names off with Mcgonagall and headed toward the carriages. Then so suddenly that she nearly collided with Harry and Ron, Hermione turned around and went back to Mcgonagall.
"Professor? I left some stuff that I needed to return in my dormitory. Could I please go get them? I'll be back really fast. Oh, and there is alot of stuff so could Harry and Ron come and help me?" Harry and Ron kept quiet, though quite shocked. Mcgonagall thought about it.
"I suppose so. I'll leave a carriage for you three, since I have the teacher's conference to attend. Understand, that I'm only doing this because I trust you, Ms. Granger."
"You lied to a teacher!" Ron exclaimed later as they were walking to Gryffindor Tower.
"You don't need to rub it in, it was really hard."
When they entered the common room, Hermione headed straight for the fire place. She stamped around a bit and then ran her hand across the mantelpiece.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked.
"Ummm...hold on," Hermione said as she went back to stamping.
"Maybe it's like the entrance of Diagon Alley," She muttered.
Hermione took her wand out, the the floor of the fireplace three times, and yelled,
"Aparecium!"
Nothing happened and then three bricks glowed green. Hermione tapped them several ways with her wand but nothing happened. She got really frustrated.
"Are you looking for an opening or something" Harry asked
"Yeah"
"Then look at the map. It usually helps." Hermione took it out. There was her in the common room, but the dot was sort of moving. Hermione pointed and yelled,
"Megnifigium!"
and the dot that was her enlarged to show a sort of stick figure leaning down as if to pick something up. Hermione reached down and placed her hand over the three bricks. There was a rumbling and the bricks were moving. Hermione tried to get out of the fireplace, when the bricks gave away under her.
The bricks stopped moving and Harry and Ron leaned over. Hermione was about seven feet below, sitting on the stone floor.
"What happened?" Ron asked.
"I found the passageway to the Slytherin dungeons"
"Why can't we just get in like last time?"
"They aren't stupid. They probably changed it and Malfoy probably told Crabbe and Goyle."
"So are you going to tell us how we're blackmailing?"
"Not unless you get me backup."
