DISCLAIMER:

Everybody knows that the HP-characters belong to JK Rowling, and not to me.

I'm not making any money writing this story.

This is the second part of Chapter Thirteen, it's short I know.
Thank you so much for your reviews, I couldn't believe how many I got!

I decided that I wouldn't let you guys wait any longer and post the ending of the chapter.
I hope that you will like it, please let me know what you think of it!

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: part two

The smile on Dumbledore's face faded when he saw Hermione and Snape.

"This ends right now," he said in a cold voice that Hermione had never heard him use before. "Miss Granger, you will return to your dormitory this instant. The next time this happens you will receive an expulsion instead of a warning. Do you understand me?"

"Yes Headmaster." Hermione replied, afraid to look at the headmaster. She just hoped that Professor Snape wouldn't lose his job.

After the headmaster told her that her remaining detentions would be with another teacher, Hermione was free to go back to her dormitory. It could be worse, she said to herself, you could have been expelled.

It was after curfew. Hermione's homework was done but she couldn't focus on reading the updated version of Hogwarts: A History. Her mind kept wandering off to Dumbledore and his reaction. She would have never guessed that the headmaster, who was known for bending every possible rule in the book, would react like that to an innocent kiss. Out of frustration, she threw her pillow across the room. It's all my fault, she thought, I shouldn't have kissed him.

The following morning at breakfast, Snape wasn't present at the staff table. Hermione noticed this immediately. She feared that Dumbledore had fired him, and, for the first time in her seven years at Hogwarts, she was happy that she had Potions that day. Together with Neville, Ron and Harry, who were talking about the newest range of brooms, she walked to Potions. As they neared the dungeons they saw their other classmates waiting, as the door to the classroom appeared to be locked.

"What do we do now?" Neville asked the others.

"We should wait ten minutes. After that we have a free period," Hermione answered.

Ron and Harry grinned, "Great!" Ron exclaimed. "Let's hope that Snape doesn't show up!"

So the Gryffindors waited.

After eight minutes the door of the classroom opened. Disappointment showed on the student's faces, but they didn't dare to complain out loud. Disappointment changed to surprise when they saw who had opened the door. It wasn't Professor Snape.

An old wizard stood in the doorway. He had a short black beard and small brown eyes. The oversized dark blue robes that he wore couldn't hide the fact that he was extremely overweight. He invited the students in and told them all to sit down. Hermione found herself a seat in the front of the class, and was just about to put her cauldron on the table, acting like nothing was wrong, when the wizard began to speak.

"Students, I am Professor Price and I will be your new Potions instructor."

Hermione dropped her cauldron on the floor. Professor Snape was fired because of her!
