Never underestimate a Granger

chapter 4

As Professor. Green slipped back in through the main doors she stifiled a screamm as she turned around and found herself staring into two unmoving unflinching ice cold eyes. "Severus! You made me jump" Prof. Green sttutered out. To be honest she felt that of all the people in this castle only two people made her feel uneasy and he was one of them. Professor Snape still stood there staring "well Green" he drawledin the tone of voice he normally reserved for Harry Potter "I can't but wonder where you were and what yu were doing at this time of night. After all these are suspicious times" his face now twisted in a particularly stern scowl. This of course only served to enrage Prof. Green "look snape" she growled (honestly she growled) "I'm no longer a student that you can try to intimidate. Don't play games with me. Or you'll find out that I've learnt some new moves" at this point they were standiing inches from each other each refusing to back down. "You know Green I've been looking into your background of the past few years, pretty unsavoury company your keeping" Snape muttered with almost perverse plaesure, Prof Green snorted "well if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I know don't know what is" Snape's jaw tighten "I'm going to keep a close eye on you, you won't be able to sneeze without me knowing" he promised. And Prof. Green smiled, s smile that was scary to say the least "don't bother sevvy I'm sure that you will be busy with other things" "what do you mean by that" Snape asked sharply his eyes searching her face, which still held that small smile "face it sevvy, something big is about to happen I can feel it" she snorted again "and you can too. Why else do think Icame back?" she asked scornfullyher voice full of hate. Prof. Green pushed past Snape with a last rejoiner "you know Sevvy when I vowed to never return, Iwas actually hoping to carry that out." With this she vanished down a corridor before Snape could reply, no doubt headed towards her bed to sleep. A stunned Snape stood in the entrance hall staring at an empty corridor when he suddenly shouted after her "don't call me that !" Then he also headed towards his own personal chambers, muttering under his breath about various torture methods, and how he hoped to inflict them on a certain defence against the dark arts professor. Soon the whole castle was asleep, some with dreams, some with nightmares, and of course others with snores

The next morning was a bright and chilly day. Harry and Ron had slept late so consequently had to rush to get ready fro breakfast, they were greeted with the sight of Hermione and Ginny both sitting , talking, eating breakfast "there you two are, Ithought you were to sleep forever" Hermione greeted them as Harry and Ron dropped on to the bench oppisite her and Ginny, with a breathless "morning" from Harry and a grunt from Ron. They then proceeded to pile up their plates with food and were already eating when Hermione continued talking, "well I'm glad you two are finally here, because Ginny has been killing me with suspense. She says that she saw something last night and wanted to tell us what, but she refused to tell just me." At this the boys thransported their gazes to Ginny, who was a little uncomfortable with this sudden attetion "w-well" she sttuteredthen stopped. Harry just raised his eyebrows questioningly, whereas Ron said between mouthfuls "well what?" he asked impatiently. "Um it's nothing really" Ginny replied all of a sudden feeling very silly. "Oh no you don't" Hermione interupted "you made me wait until these two sleepyhead got here. So now you can spill" she ordered. Her confidence somewhat restored Ginny was about to tell them what she did see last night. When Draco Malfoy decided to drop by "well, well, well look boys female weasel had got some friends. Oh no wait its just potty, weasel and mudblood" this of course was accompanied by sniggering. "What do you want Malfoy" Harry demanded hotly "if it's just you trying to be witty, then you better leave before Iget my wand out" he threatened. "Now now potty clam down." Malfoy drawled "I actually have a valid reason to be here" Malfoy paused, enjoying keeping them hanging knowing full well that it would annoy them, most of all Ron. "Well what is it?" Ron finally asked "I need to tell mud- malfoy stopped as all four gryffindors reached for their wands. Draco quickly amened what he was saying, not that he was scared of them of course. He just wasn't suicidal. "I mean Granger" he smirked as they all glared. "I just wanted to tell her that I'm free at 1:30 and that she had better be at the libary then or else" at this he glared at her darkly. "Or else what?" Hermione bravely asked "well you wouldn't want to fail defence against the dark arts for not co-operating with your partner, yours truly, now would you?" Malfoy asked as he gave her a small mocking bow. "See you at 1:30 mudblood" he said viciously over his shoulder as he left.
"Draco why do you even what to meet up with her anyway?" Asked Crabbe "yea shes just a stupid mudblood" Goyle agreed as they followed Malfoy to the slytherin table. "Because you dunces I don't want to fail and neither does she. Besides it will annoy potty and weasel no end, and thats always a bonus" he chckled. "Oh I diddn't think of that" Crabbe replied "of course not you knucklehead. Thats why I'm the brains and beauty of this ittle trio"

Meanwhile back at the gryffindor table Harry and Ron were coming up with hilarious and outrageous ways to torture him "I know" cried Ron "we could get laods of copys of a picture from when he got turned into a ferret by that moody look-a-like from colinand send them to loads of people, the minister of magic, his dad, The Daily Prophet and one to everyone but him in Hogwarts, teachers included" he and Harry burst out laughing at this. "no I've got a better one" Harry cried out through his laughter "we could transfigure his dinner plate into a ferret then shout out 'look Malfoy I think its your long lost twin'" this of course sent them off again. throughout this conversation ginny and Hermione were haveing their own one. "wow. Poor you Hermione, I can't believe you've got Malfoy as a partner" "yea neither can I, it's terrible, but I've got to put up with him"she replied. "Is ther no way you can change partners?" ginny asked "don't you think HE tried" Hermone said sardonically "yea I guess he would. Stupid git." Ginny muttered "GINNY" Hermione exclaimed, shocked that Ginny would say something like that. Ginny had the good grace to blush at Hermiones exclimation. "well he is" she said defenivly "oh no arguements there" Hermione agreedand they both giggled. Suddenly Ginny jumped up "come on or we'll be late for lessons" she said, so they all gather up their thingsand headed out of the great hall, where the trio parted company with Ginny. "Well bye you guys, see you at lunch" ginny said as she waved goodbye, "oh wait" Hermione called out as she left to stop her "you never got to tell us what you did see last night remember?" Hermione continued, and at the same time pouting. "oh that. I'll tell you at lunch, I promise." Ginny shouted over her shoulder as she rushed of to herbology. "Dammit" Hermione mumbled. "HERMIONE"
Harry and Ron both said shcocked, this was Hermione gryffindor saint! "What?" Hermione asked innocently "well I would have known what she saw, if you two hadn't taken so long coming down to breakfast2 she grumbled. "Sorry" Harry apologised. "We can't help it if we're normal, and don't get up at the crack of dawn" Ron instead defended him and Harry. "Oh stop complaining. She tell us at lunch now won't she?" hermione said mildly annoyed at Ron. "Now come on, or we'll be late for history of magic she cried as she rushed towards the history classroom "it doesn't matter either way, it's not like old Binns would notice anyway" Ron muttered. "I heard that" Hermione shouted over her shoulder "now come on" she called. And so the two boys followed her to class one with a face almost as red as his hair and the other a huge grin on his face.
