HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

SNAPE REALIZES

Dumbledore wanted to make up for the lost time. He wanted, now more than ever, the students to be prepared to face Voldemort. Umbridge had made them loose a precious year of training so he had organised several extra classes meetings for students to practice. They would be watched by the teachers to make sure that they wouldn't hurt each other. So, one sunny day, Expelliarmus! were heard all over the room, wands flew all over the place, but Snape was immerse in his own thoughts. Could it be! Could history repeat itself like this? He had to find out. He took a few steps.

"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle come with me" said Snape quickly. The three of them looking bewildered followed Snape as he approached Harry, Hermione and Ron.

"Look, Harry, I've disarmed Hermione" said Ron happily

"Well, that's a first, isn't it" said Hermione hastily but Ron didn't listen he was too happy, but his smile washed out when he saw Snape approaching them followed by Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. Harry on the other hand didn't see Snape come up to them because he was to busy staring at Hermione.

"Potter, Weasley" said Snape rather coldly. That brought Harry back to earth "You'll be working for the rest of the class with Crabbe and Goyle."

"But" started Ron

"No buts" interrupted Snape in a despising tone.

"Granger" started Snape.

"I know, Parkinson" said Hermione looking disgusted.

"No, Malfoy" said Snape sharply

Hermione was surprised but not as much as Draco who was about to open his mouth when Snape gave him a threatening look.

"Now Crabbe, Potter go to that corner" Snape pointed to his right "Goyle, Weasley the other one" he pointed to his left "You two" he turned to Draco and Hermione "Stay here"

Snape walked away and pretended to be looking elsewhere, when to his horror, he saw Draco miss; he had never seen Draco miss before. He moved towards them quickly.

"What's wrong with you?" bellowed Snape

"Um... well...I..." Draco was clearly nervous "My wand, it needs replacement" Hermione couldn't believe her eyes, was Draco looking for an excuse to leave? "I'll just send an owl to my father" And he stayed there just for a second looking really uneasy before he started to walk towards the Slytherin Common Room. Snape was now sure that history was repeating itself. What he had so much resisted to believe was now more than obvious. Draco had fallen for Hermione.
