Hermione Granger, star student, everyones friend, was having the worst day of her life. Not only had she lost a bet to the her oldgeezer of a headmaster, Albus Dumbledor, she had lowered herself to follow through with the reprocussions of the bet. She, Hermione Granger, was bound by wizarding law, to follow Severus Snape around for a whole month, doing whatever he wanted her to do. She would have backed out on the bet, but she was a Gryffindor, and Gryffindors do not back down, for anything. Not to mention that she was bound by magic, because of the bond on the bet.

"That damn old man! Why did I bet it?! WHY! Who would ever think Ginny would end up with Draco, I certainly didn't! I think its a conpiracy! Maybe the oldgeezer got them to follow along. Harry I think thats it!" Hermione whined to her boyfriend.

"Honey, my love, you lost, just accept it. A month will be over in...no time." Harry said, wrapping his arms around Hermione's waist.

"Are you crazy? A whole month with that greasy bastard! I can just imagine what he will have me doing, oh the horror! Maybe they will let me do the month after schools out, instead of doing it now. Theres only 2 months left of school...what do you think?" she said, leaning into Harry's arms.

"Honey, I think you need to talk to Albus about that. I certainly don't see Albus having a problem with it...but honey, think about Snape. He's out to get you, and you know it," Harry said, kissing the top of her head.

Harry sat down on Hermione's bed and watched her pace the room, back and forth. Harry counted to 476 times Hermione went back and forth until he told her to stop.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous. I think I'll go find Snape," Hermione said, kissed Harry on the lips and ran out of the room.

Harry just looked at the door and shook his head, "My love, what have you gotten yourself into?"

Hermione walked into the Potions classroom and found Snape sitting behind his desk grading papers, i/Probably giving them all failing grades. Damn bastard. I cant believe I have to follow this greasy git around for a whole month!/i "Professor?"

Snape looked up and smirked, "Well if it isn't Miss know-it-all. What do you want Granger?"

"Well sir...I was wondering if well, you know about this bet and all," Hermione started.

"Spit it out Granger!" Snape snapped.

"I was wondering if we could wait until the summer to go through with the bet," Hermione quickly got out, before she backed down.

Snape threw down his quill and looked at Hermione and smirked. i/So shes scared to go through with this bet. This could make my year interesting. Not to mention a lot easier for the next month. Miss Granger, my dear, you need to be taken care of. I'm tired of everyone fawning over you. You are nothing but a mudblood. SEVERUS! Where did that come from?! Oh great, now I'm talking to myself, AND answering. This could prove to be a very big problem. Did I just call her a mudblood? Yes, I suppose I did. Malfoy is really starting to get to me./i"No, Miss Granger, we will follow through with this bet. Now when would you like to start this 'bet'? Tonight, or tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow morning sir, thank you. Bye," Hermione said. She walked out of the room muttering to herself. "That damn bastard. How dare he! Ruining the last 2 months of my 7th year! Damn him!" She kept walking not realizing she was heading straight on towards a very arrogant blonde slytherin. She didn't realize until she smacked right into him. She looked up and started to say sorry,"Malfoy."

"Granger, what a surprise seeing you down here. Visiting your buddy Snape, eh?" Draco said smirking.

"Shut up Malfoy!" Hermione snapped.

"A bit touchy today arent we Hermione? You know, ever since we became friends, I still sense a bit of...fustration coming from you. You sure you're ok?"

"NO! Draco, I have to follow that greasy bastard around for a month. A MONTH! Do you know what my life is going to be like? HELL! Damn old man, should have never bet!" Hermione snapped.

"Woah calm down Granger. Snape's not all the bad. I'm sure you will be fine...won't you?" Draco said, for once looking concerned.

"The bastard hates me, for 3 reasons. 1. I'm a Gryffindor. 2. I'm a know-it- all. 3. I'm a 'mudblood'. You know he hates me, what am I going to do? My life is going to be hell!" Hermione said, slumping to the floor.

Draco bent down next to her, and wrapped her in a hug. "Hermione, Snape doesn't hate you, at least I dont think he does. I'm his godson, so I don't think he hates you. He'd always stick up for you when I complained," Draco noticed her eyes getting watery, "oh honey! It's ok! Wait right here."

Draco ran off to find Harry, or Ginny, hell even Snape to calm her down. He wasn't in luck. He couldn't find Harry or Ginny anywhere, which left one person. Snape. Snape wouldn't have been his first, considering he was the reason she was upset, but he was the last person he could think of. Draco ran off to the potions classroom and found Snape right where Hermione left him, grading papers.

Snape looked up, ready to snap at whoever dared to disturb him but stopped when he saw it was Draco. "What can I do for you Draco?"

"Its Hermione sir, shes a bit...distraught. I can't calm her down Severus, and she actually called herself a mudblood, this isn't here. I know I know! Don't give me that look! I tried to find Potter or even Gin, but I couldn't. And Merlin knows where Weasel is, so I came to the last person I could think of. You." Draco said, hopeing Snape would help.

"Very well, where is she?" Snape said, really not looking foward to a crying girl.

"Severus, shes actually right outside. How could you not hear her?"

"I wasn't paying attention. Let's go get this over with." Snape said and rushed out of the room.

Snape found Hermione, right where Draco left her. Sitting on the ground crying and rocking herself, muttering something about a greasy git hating her./i Dear Merlin! Shes talking about me! Damn, I didn't know I had this much of an effect on the girl. /i"Miss Granger, please knock it off. You're being childish. Get up!"

Hermione istantly stopped crying and looked up. When she saw who was there she jumped off the floor and looked at Draco. "You over-sized rodent! How could you! Could you have least gotten someone who liked me! Perphaps someone who I liked!" Hermione screamed at Draco.

Draco was blown away, he had no idea she would have this kind of reaction. "Hermione! I'm sorry, I couldn't find Potter or Gin. I didn't know you'd react this way..."

"Mr. Malfoy don't be sorry. Now Granger! Knock it off. This is not the end of the world! I do not hate you! Now get up, and go before I decide to take points away for your annoying racket!"

Hermione glared at Draco and walked away. She was extremely pissed off at Snape, and was just thinking of the ways to get him back. She would have to do whatever he wanted for the next month, starting tomorrow morning, but she still had one night to do as she pleased. It was a time to have a night out with the boys, and ONLY the boys. They had revenge to plot and Hermione would be the one doing it. i/How can Snape even consider making me do this? He will pay! The damn bastard wont know what hit him. Just wait till your time comes Snape! You won't be able to hide! /i
