Chapter 2 – The problem with bloody Gryffindors.

Potions finished without any more problems and after class, Hermione left Harry and Ron to go to Divination while she went to Arithmancy.

However when she got there, she found she could not help but think about all of the other things she could do to get her Perfect Grade. Distracted throughout the lesson she racked her mind trying to come up with something else to do. She was quite pleased with her progress so far.

Glad that Arithmancy was over she packed up her belongings and took one last pitiful look at Draco who was still sniffling from what Snape had said to him.

As she was walking to the Gryffindor common room, she had a brilliant idea and instead detoured to the library. She would be able to knit the gloves for dobby when she came back. The gloves were a thank you, because she had got him to turn off Professor Snape's alarm clock.

Searching through the shelves she found the book she wanted and then left, as it was almost time for lunch and time to put her plan into action.

She rushed down to the Great Hall and made sure she was strategically placed to begin the next phase of bribe Snape.

Soon enough, the great hall was full enough and the man of the moment came gliding into the great hall through the teacher's entrance. He had hoped that miss Granger wouldn't be foolish enough to try something with a room full of people. Oh how wrong he was.

Just as he was about to place his bottom on the chair. Hermione hit it with her spell. As Severus began to lower himself down, he almost fell off. His chair wasn't like the rest of the staff's. It had being turned into a squashy dark green armchair.

Severus, who now had the attention of the entire great hall because he had yelled "Bollocks" as he realised his chair wasn't where it should be left the hall looking flushed and muttering something about 'bloody Gryffindors'.

Hermione was now slightly worried. She hadn't expected him to leave the hall. She still had another part of the plan to put into practice. She decided to risk it, left Harry and Ron and headed down to the dungeons.

She tentatively knocked on his door, at hearing nothing she snuck into the classroom. Using a useful spell she had learnt, she changed his desk chair into a comfortable armchair, but disguised it as his normal desk chair. Satisfied with her work she went to gather her belongings before going to Care of Magical Creatures.

Part way through the lesson, Professor Snape strode down to Hagrid's hut.

"Excuse me Professor Hagrid, would it be possible for me to borrow Miss Granger for a minute"

"Sure it is Sev'rus."

"Follow me." He said curtly to Hermione and she began to follow him, feeling apprehensive.

Once they were suitably far enough away from the class, he turned round to her,

"Wand. Now."

Hermione complied and turned her wand over to him.

"Priori Incartartem"

As he uttered these words a transparent bunch of flowers appeared from the end of her wand.

He handed it back to her and turned to leave before saying,

"Very well, Miss Granger. I have no proof this time but I will catch you out mark my words. Bribing me isn't going to work I suggest you try working harder."

He turned and left, leaving Hermione rooted to the spot.

'Who the hell does he think he is? Oh yes I'll work harder and he'll live to rue the day he gave Malfoy better marks.'

With an evil smirk on her face, she turned round and went back to class.

As she sat in her room that night, trying to block out Draco's whimpers (he was still crying now. Could he not get over it?!) She decided that this would have to be a very carefully thought out and calculated plan of attack.

For the next few days, Severus was wary of Hermione, but he then thought that perhaps she had learnt her lesson and would stop trying to get her better marks. Little did he know that Hermione spent every free moment calculating her next move.

'Send him flowers – no too girly.'

'Redecorate his chambers – possible.'

'Scrub all the cauldrons as well as reorganising his stock cupboard. – Good one, but I'd need enough time to be able to do this. I could do with some inside information.'

'By Friday night, Hermione was exhausted. But just before she fell asleep, she added one more thing to the list and with a small smile tugging at her lips, she fell asleep.
