While Team B was busy following a trail of blood, Team A had just used the Impediment Jinx on two Ministry Officials and were figuring out what to do next.
"What are you waiting for?" demanded Ginny. "Disguise yourselves, right now!"
And with that, a flicker of wands moved through the air and everyone was disguised. Dumbledore made a very convincing Sea Captain, while Snape was dressed as a Hurdy-Gurdy player. Draco was a Pirate and Hermione was a Gypsy.
"Okay," said Ginny, who looked like a really cheap prostitute, "we'll need to divide up in the most logical groups. I guess that means the pirate and the sea captain are with me and the gypsy and hurdy-gurdy player are together. My group will work on getting Percy's body back up to Dumbledore's office, and I'd like you two to go into the store room and try to find some more Veritaserum. Why we didn't just give some to everyone initially and simply ask them if they killed Percy is beyond me. But hey, this wouldn't be much of a mystery then, now would it have?"
Hermione and Snape started walking towards the basement storeroom. The silence was deafening for a while, when Hermione finally spoke. "You really are a good kisser, Professor Snape." He continued without saying anything. Hermione cleared her throat, "Ahem, umm, that is a complement you know." Again, nothing. "Look, sorry about just jumping on you back there, but you know, the Ministry officials were coming and I was so scared..." He kept right on ignoring her. Hermione looked pale and stopped dead in her tracks.
"LISTEN TO ME, DAMMIT!" she screamed. "I WANT YOU IN BED! DO ME RIGHT NOW! OKAY?"
Professor Snape stopped as well and stared at Hermione a minute. "Don't you get enough of that from Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley? Of course, then there are your little girlfriends. You really are the town bicycle."
"I AM NOT A LESBIAN!" shouted Hermione. She ran at Snape full force and started slapping at him then pulled out her wand and aimed it straight at him."
"Do put that thing away before you hurt yourself," he said indifferently plucking the wand from her grasp. Hermione, her rage subdued, let out a stream of tears.
"Compose yourself!" he demanded of her. "If you weren't crying like a little schoolgirl, you would hear there are footsteps behind us."
Hemione obliged, and turned around just in time to see Bob and Lou, who were unfrozen. Apparently, they did not realize Hermione and Snape had been in the Room of Requirement.
"Gypsies?" said Lou.
"Tramps and theives!" scoffed Bob. "What are you doing at Hogwarts?"
Hermione looks up at them, "Ve are traveling band of Gypsies. Ve going to perform for ze children."
"Oh really?" says Bob. "Prove it!"
"What are you waiting for?" demanded Ginny. "Disguise yourselves, right now!"
