Let the Mayhem Begin

Chapter 2

Hermione felt a sharp stinging sensation on her neck, then glanced up to meet the piercing eyes of her Professor. Then, she started giggling. Not at his ludicrous behaviour, but a girly, flirty type giggle, and then responded to Snapes question by throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately in full view of the class.

The newly conscious Lavender, who was in the process of removing herself from the floor with the help of Parvarti, screamed again, then slumped back to the dungeon floor, followed quickly by Neville who obviously found the sight of one of his closest friends kissing Snape too horrific for consciousness.

Harry and Ron were not so passive in their reactions, both lunging foreward towards the madly kissing pair. But an infuriated and dangerous looking Malfoy beat them to it.

Malfoy wrenched Hermione off of Snape, and then to the further amazement of the stunned Gryffindors and Slytherins (although most of them had moved way beyond the feeling of mere shock anymore), punched his Professor square in the face.

"Get you greasy paws off her Snape, Hermione's mine I tell you", and with that he turned to Hermione, who was glaring furiously and about to begin a verbal attack for interrupting her bliss moments earlier, picked her up around the waist, slung her struggling over his shoulder and madly dashed from the dungeon screaming "Mine I tell you, MINE!!"

"Come back here Draco Malfoy, you'll pay for this!" screamed an enraged Snape, blood welling from a cut lip. And with that he ran headlong out of the classroom following closely in Draco and Hermione's wake.

Harry and Ron glanced at each other briefly, then charged from the room chasing after their best friend and the two clearly deranged Slytherins, followed closely by a screaming Pansy.

The rest of the class was mute with astonishment, aside from Crabbe who was nursing a mauled arm and sobbing loudly onto a shaken Goyle's shoulder.

Parvarti broke the fragile silence. "What the hell just happened?"

Nobody had an answer for her.
