Don't We All

Chapter Five

If anyone had told Hermione Granger four hours earlier that she would be sitting with Snape, Malfoy and Blaise she would have called them crazy. Yet, here she was, doing exactly that.

"Why exactly have you brought them here Miss Granger?" Snape asked as he turned towards her. She willed him to read her mind. She brought up all the memories of what had happened earlier and presented them for him. At first, she thought he may not understand why she was looking at him and not saying anything but after a brief moment she saw his eyes flash in understanding and he gave her a small nod.

He then turned from her and studied the two boys who had witnessed their exchange and were now looking very confused.

"It appears," Snape drawled slowly fixing his gaze on each boy. "That you have gotten yourselves into a lot of trouble."

Draco's eyes widened at this proclamation and looked wildly at Hermione. If possible, Hermione felt herself squish even more into the two boys as Draco tried his best to cause her pain.

"We are going to be killed," Draco muttered.

Surprisingly, Snape chuckled. All three students looked up at him quickly in disbelief. Hermione was quite sure that her eyes were popping out of her head and Blaise had tensed beside her and was sputtering out meaningless Italian words. Meaningless to me, thought Hermione, because I don't know how to speak Italian…

"I can assure you Draco, I have no intention of killing my godson," Snape said, returning back to his cool and harsh self. "I do believe however that you are here to see me for matters concerning the events that took place this summer. You know what events I speak of Draco." Snape emphasized the last part as Draco tried his best to appear nonchalant.

Finally, after what seemed like hours to Hermione, Blaise spoke.

"I don't mean to offend you Professor Snape, but you are a Death eater,"

Snape sneered at him and Hermione recoiled from him further into the couch in fear. "If I could remind you, you are a Death eater as well Zabini."

Blaise bristled and Hermione hoped that he wouldn't lose his temper. She did not know if she was comfortable being in a room with 3 Slytherins.

"But you see, I don't want to be a death eater and that is why I am here." Blaise growled.

Oh good, thought Hermione. We are off to a good start…

"Interesting," drawled Snape looking between the two boys and then fixing his gaze on Hermione. "Miss. Granger, I believe I can take it from here. Go into the cupboard on the far left and fetch me some Veritaserum. Then, please return to your common room, I believe this may take awhile."

Hermione nodded, she was a little upset that Snape wouldn't let her stay, but she understood that she already knew enough.

"She must be alright then," Ginny whispered.

Harry and Ginny were looking at the map and it appeared that Hermione was in Snape's office with Malfoy and Zambini and she was not struggling.

"I guess so," Harry muttered. He looked up at Ginny. Her red hair was falling down in front of her eyes and she was currently trying to stifle a yawn beneath his invisibility cloak. "We should go back to the tower and wait for her. We have already almost been caught and I reckon that she is going to be gone for a while."

Ginny nodded and followed Harry back to the common room. It didn't take very long and they only had one delay when Peeves was trying to rigor a water balloon to the edge of the staircase. By the time they entered the common room and ripped off the cloak Ginny could barley keep her eyes open and she plopped onto the couch in front of her.

Harry followed suite and lay down on a couch facing the fire.

"I don't know if I can stay awake, Harry," mumbled Ginny.

Harry glanced over at the redhead and smiled.

"That's alright Gin. You sleep and I'll wake you up when Hermione gets here alright?"

He waited for her to reply but by the deep rhythmic breathing he could tell she was all ready asleep. Harry smiled and quickly jogged upstairs to grab a blanket which he covered the youngest Weasley with before settling in front of the fire to think over the events of the evening.

Hermione trudged slowly up the last set of stairs before arriving at the portrait. The fat lady looked about ready to begin lecturing her for being out so late so she quickly muttered the password and ran inside. The common room was dark, but the fire was still going and she could see one figure sitting on a couch facing the fire and another one sleeping on the couch.

"I see you waited up for me," said Hermione walking towards Harry.

"Yes. We were worried. We had initially gone out to look for you but then when we saw that you were with Snape that everything must be under control." Harry said. He turned to look at her and she noticed that his hair was messier then usual and he was a little withdrawn.

"We?" Hermione questioned. She walked over to the couch and smiled at Ginny curled up with Harry's blanket over her. " You didn't have to wait up for me, I was alright." Hermione said. She turned away from Ginny and walked over to Harry's couch sitting down in it.

"We were worried Hermione. We didn't know why you were with Zabini and Malfoy. We thought maybe they had attacked you or something. Once we saw that you were with Snape, we realized that you must have been alright and decided to wait up here to see what was going on," he said. He looked over scanning her face. "What is going on Hermione?"

She sighed. Hermione was not completely sure of what was going on. She went through the events of the evening in her mind and scowled. What was Snape going to do?

Would they become spies for the Order? Would they join the D.A.?

She turned towards Harry and sighed.

"It's a long story Harry, but quite interesting." She said, leaning back into the cushions.

"Well, tomorrow is Saturday, Dean said that you wanted to call a D.A meeting, but you can sleep in and call it in the afternoon. But please, tell me what is going on," Harry said.

Hermione smiled. Harry had every right to know and she couldn't not tell him because she burning to tell someone else.

"Alright," she said and began to relay the events of the evening to her best friend.

(A/N: ARRRGGG, I hate this time of year when exams are looming and all of your problems seem to get worse. Grr. Well I wrote this quickly and I am sorry if there are spelling mistakes…at this point I don't really care…I most likely will later though. Sorry for the wait on the update, but I am a busy child! I'm going to try and move up the pace of this story because things are going just a little to slow for my liking. Of course, that would all be my fault anyways because I am writing it. So thank you all so much for reviewing, I really appreciate it! It makes me want to write more! I'm going to start responding to them in the next chapter! Yay! See you all later! Reviews are welcome!
