Chapter 4
Reviews! Reviews make my day! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm trying to keep Snape as in character as possible. My take on him is yes he's fierce and passionate in his hatred (book 3 anyone?) I think his character could be just as passionate about his job or love. Sorry for those who like Ron. I had to have a jerk and since Ron is my least favorite character I choose him.
Disclaimer: I make no money off this. I wish I did. I have an obseesion with shoes but not a large enough bank account to cover my obsession. I'm going to mope now.

The next day Severus used his intimate knowledge of the castle as well as his talent of being invisible to watch Hermione and Ron. He witnessed Ron throwing a tripping curse at Hermione after she was leaving breatfast.
"Honestly" He thought "The boy has absolutely no imagination or sense of style."
And then later after witnessing him try the same curse for the third time,
"How is he related to two of the most talented pranksters Hogwarts has ever seen? He must have gotten the same genes as Percy."
He watched and listened to Ron as he foolishly told other Griffindores his plans for the girl in the next two days.What disturbed him the most was Hermione. She didn't even try to fight back. This was so out of character for the girl who wanted to storm the kitchens with her S.P.E.W nonsense that he was forced to think about what Malfoy said about his mother. When he heard Weasley talking to his new group of friends about how uptight and prudish Hermione was, within earshot of her, he expected the girl to do something. She, however, appeared oblivious to the mockery as well as nasty laughter directed towards her. At least he thought she was oblivious until he followed her to a deserted corridore where she sat sobbing until he was worried she would make herself ill and he would have to abandon his hiding spot to escort her to the hospital wing. He was saved by Potter and Longbottom showing up looking for her. He noticed the boys didn't say very much at first. Potter wrapped his cloak around her shaking form and conjured a glass of water. Neville, he watched, said nothing. He just embraced the girl until her sobs quieted. He noticed Harry tried to convince the girl to go to a proffessor and Neville just shook his head defeatedly, leading Severus to believe they had been trying to convince the girl for awhile. Hermiones vehement refusal didn't seem to surprise the boys. Hermione made them swear not to tell anyone and the boys, however reluctantly, agreed. By the time dinner was over and Hermione, flanked by both Harry and Neville, headed off to their common room, Severus had seen enough. He pulled Draco aside and explained his stategy for Phase 1. Draco agreed delightedly and the two called it a night. As Severus headed for his private chambers he broke into, what was the first time in many years, a real smile. The Bloody Baron, taken aback, followed Severus to his chanbers and refused to leave until he explained what was going on in exchange for his silence. The Baron listened and happily promised to help.
Inside his room he chuckled and began to prepare for day 1: Mission Protect Hermione. Looking in a mirror Severus said
"And who would have ever thought I'd play the white night?"
The mirror answered sleepily
"Certainly not me but I've been surprised before."

I know there is not a lot of dialog in the chapter but I will make up for it. I promise!
Next chapter: Get him angry and suspicious at someone else.Namely Draco
