Chapter 6.
Hermione transfigured the two armchairs in the common room that she and Harry shared into two very comfortable looking beds.
"Ginny you can use my room to change. I think that I will just have a quick visit to the kitchen I think we need some hot chocolate." Harry nodded at her and she left quietly.
Hermione stopped outside the portrait of the bowl of fruit and reached out to tickle the pear. It shuddered and turned quickly into a handle. The young girl took the Handle and pushed the door open quickly.
"Who's there?" She said calmly upon entering. She had heard a small bang as she walked in and she began to explore the darkness.
"Oh this is dumb! Lumos." She said her voice tired.
"Ah Miss Granger I did not see you enter." The man in the corner said icily making Hermione jump a little.
"Well professor that might have been because the lights were not on." Hermione replied in an equally icy tone. She had recognised the voice immediately. There was no one else who shared that same slimy tone.
"Miss Granger may I ask what you are doing here?" He asked.
"Yes you may professor Snape but please do not expect an answer." Hermione replied her tone still frosty. She walked towards the counter and summoned four mugs. Her wand light went out as she did this, she cursed and lit the candles only to find that the oily potions master was stood directly behind her.
"You might as well make a pot of hot chocolate I have been sent to get some from the hospital wing." He ordered.
"Fine!" Hermione said calmly. She began to make a large Teapot full of rich, creamy hot chocolate. She poured some into the four mugs and then handed the Teapot to the professor on a tray.
"Thankyou Miss Granger." He smiled sarcastically and Hermione frowned.
"Oh don't worry about it professor no need to thank me when I know you mean not a word of it." With that she stormed out unhappily back up to her chambers. She whispered the password and walked into the quiet common room.
"Back so soon Mione that was quick." Harry said happily.
"What took you so long Hermione?" Ginny asked rather worried.
"Oh nothing I just had to make some hot chocolate for the whole of the hospital wing…never mind." She said trying to leave her bad mood at the door.
After half an hour of chatting and drinking Hot chocolate Hermione fell asleep in one of the chairs whilst Harry fell asleep in the other. Ron and Ginny giggled and then fell asleep in their respective beds.
