Snape and Hermione were examining the paper. Suddenly Snape asked: - Did you really have... - Yes, I had Harry's photograph. - I don't really care about that. I intended to ask you about Merlin's book. It's very rare and special edition. This is a very valuable book, especially for those who brew potions! - Yes, you are quite right. I'm very sorry! - You are so careless!!! Have you ever shown it to somebody? - Well, I have read this book at the beach... once... - How could you? If muggles saw... - ...They wouldn't understand the Celtic language. - Maybe...nevertheless, it was very foolish to read the book in public, Miss Granger. However we'll find the robber later. Now we have to think about your room, which, as I understood from your first tirade, is going to be some diplomat's room tomorrow, because the term of your hotel reservation expires today. – Snape said coolly. - Yes, but I can't go home now. There are some guests at my parent's house – Hermione continued as Snape raised an eyebrow in surprise – so my room is occupied at the moment. Unfortunately, I haven't got enough money to buy a flat. "Oh no, - professor thought, - I have to take care of my ex-student, insupportable know-it-all!"
- We have to see if there are some spare rooms at the hotel. – he said
making his way downstairs. They waited for 5 minutes at the registration table just to hear that "there were no spare rooms at the moment" – girl at the table seemed to like Snape's appearance very much. - Well, what am I supposed to do now? – Hermione asked, not even expecting answer to come. - We are forced to live together, in my room, - professor said sharply! Hermione wasn't prepared for such a shocking statement. She expected Snape to say in his best silkily voice something like "Go to Weasley's or Potter's place", but his decision was beating everything! She didn't want to hear such offensive sneers, even from her scary ex-professor. - How dare you mock at me in my present situation?! – she cried angrily. - Can I remind you whom you are talking to? And I'm very serious. We have to live together! The perspective is not pleasant to me either. It's just Dumbledore's order I have to follow: protect you from dangerous persons. - What are you talking about? Who are this "dangerous persons"? Am I in danger? What has Dumbledore to do with it? - I'll tell you in my room. Follow me, please, - with these words he pushed her to the hotel lift and took the lift to the 5th floor. As they were walking through the corridor Hermione was looking straight ahead, so she stumbled over something and has almost fallen to the floor. However she never reached the floor – somebody was holding her by the waist firmly. She saw professor Snape was that "somebody". He was holding her gently as if she was a light feather. Hermione has never imagined Snape being so strong and adroit. - Miss Granger... Hermione...I suppose we have to be on first-name terms with each other as we'll be living together. - Hmm, OK, Se... - Severus. - Right, Severus! – she said, her voice trembling slightly. - So, Hermione, can you walk? – he was a bit worried. - Well, I guess... - she tried to walk. However she lost her balance and Snape had to take and carry her all the way to his room. Severus commanded her to open the door, but Hermione's "Allohomora" didn't work. Snape muttered "Apros" and the door opened. Snape laid Hermione down on the bed and then came to the little store, took out a small cauldron and started brewing a potion, muttering something under his breathe like: "I've always to save them." - You can do wandless magic. – she said thoughtfully. Then she was struck with her statement herself: she was talking to one of the greatest wizards of her time and asked him such a stupid question! - Can't you? – Snape asked maliciously. - Actually, I've read many books on this subject and I've tried to do it, though without any result, - she said, looking a bit embarrassed. - I'm impressed, - Snape continued, his lip curling, - the brightest know- it-all can't manage couple of easy incantations! – it was clear hat Snape tried to tease her. Hermione blushed and said: "You are a bastard". - Let me remind you whom you are talking to. - Let me remind you that all the Scary Professor things are not working with me anymore! – she looked straight in his eyes!
- Expelliarmus", - Snape grabbed her wand.
- Give me my wand back, - and she gave him the dirtiest look she could
master.
- Let me remind me that it's not working with me either, - Severus was
holding the wand near Hermione's face. - You've pissed me off – girl cried, trying to stand up, but failing – her sprained ankle reminded of itself. Hermione gave up and fell on the bed. - I'm afraid you won't get your wand back just by swearing! - Give my wand back or at least stop waving it in front of my face!
- Well, you can get your wand back with the incantation! – he said
mockingly.
- I've no wand to make it work, - she said, suddenly struck with
comprehension of what he was up to.
- So, you need your wand back, - Snape said curtly.
- I know what your intentions are. I can't do wandless magic! – girl
bellowed desperately.
- Just try, - Severus could sense that energy was filling her. – Just
try! NOW!
Hermione lifted herself a bit, met Snape's look and said fiercely
"Expellirmus".
- You've done it, - Snape concluded, taking his cauldron.
- I've done it...How have you done it?" – she asked, looking puzzled, as
she caught her wand.
- It depends on the way you are channelling your energy!
- You... You... - girl was really perplexed.
- You are quite right, - Snape filled a glass with dark liquid from
the cauldron and was coming to Hemione, as...
- "Expelliarmus" – she was furious.
Disarmed, professor smiled and got his wand back.
- Are you satisfied? Now, let us not play childish games. We have much
more important things to do!
- Very well, then.
Severus approached the bed and put the glass on the table nearby.
- OK. Now, move your skirt a bit aside, please.
- I'm sorry, WHAT?
- Move your skirt a bit aside, a bit above. I've to examine your
injury.
- Ok, - she said with a less agitated voice. - Are you accustomed with such orders as to take off a blouse or a skirt? Have you been healing some Slytherin girls? – Hermione asked silkily. - It's a privilege of Madam Pomfrey, isn't it? – Snape snapped. – Though, maybe, I wouldn't mind – he gave her his firm sneering smile! Snape took a handful of the liquid and rubbed it in her injured leg. After 5 minutes the procedure was over. Snape was such a specialist that in some minutes the pain had gone and Hermione was in her feet again, exploring the room.
