Yo. Okay, okay, I can see your blank faces. I'm just tired of starting with 'hello'. By the way if you don't review this chapter, I WILL RING YOUR LITTLE NECKS!

(cough)

Sorry 'bout that. I got a little teensy bit too emotional. Anyway, on to the next chapter, after this message: Thanx Pia for putting all these chapters on the Internet, I really appreciate it! (also thanx for putting up with me: ).) ( : ) A smily face!)

Disclaimer- Ii don't own ay of the characters in this chapter except Venetta and Lucy.

The 'savior' turned out to be nothing less than the well loved guy we call Professor Snape. Only now, he was shorter and in his teens. He still had greasy black hair, which he was nervously patting with his free hand; the hand with the wand was still pointed at Draco, who was unconscious on the ground.

' Th-thank you.' Hermione stuttered.

Snapes face broke out into a grin, and Hermione realized that he was puffing his chest out, trying to look more masculine.

' Wouldyouliketogotothefeasttogether?' he asked in one breath.

' I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.' Hermione said.

' Would- would you like to go to the – to the…' His voice faded.

Suddenly, a voice erupted behind Snape.

' Would you look at that! Snivellius is trying o get a girlfriend!' The voice stopped when the person came into view.

Hermione gasped, yet again, for it was none other than Lucious Malfoy. She mentally slapped herself.

Lucious did a double-take.

'Well, well. Whatdo we have here?' His eyes searched her face as he roughly pushed Snape out of the way.

' Hello there. What…' he stopped speaking as he suddenly spotted Draco on the floor.

' WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?' He shouted.

Hermione simply pointed at Snape, but realized a split second later, it wasn't the best thing she could have done for him (Snape, I mean).

' CRUCIO!'

Snape was suddenly on the floor, twitching.

' FIX HIM!' Lucious bellowed at Snape.

As Snape muttered the counter-curse, Hermione realized that restoring Draco probably wasn't in her best interests either. It was too late now, though. She gave herself another one of those mental slaps.

Draco immediately opened his eyes. When Lucious was satisfied he was okay, he brought his attention back to Hermione.

' As I was saving, DON'T MOVE SLIMEBALL!'

' Pardon me?'

Hermoine realized that he was talking to Snape, who was behind her. She heard a loud : 'THUMP!'

She turned around slowly around and was surprised to see Snape huddled against a wall, with blood trickling out the side of his mouth. She saw Lucious raise his wand again.

'Expelliarmis!'

Lucious looked around in surprise. Hermione had pulled out her wand faster and had removed him of his wand.

Hermione saw his back shaking, and assumed he was really angry. Someone had returned his wand to him, and as he turned to face her, she cowered in fear at what he would do.

Sorry if you expected an ending to this chapter. I know it must be annoying to get a cliffy almost every time, but I don't really care. Now, I got a couple of questions for ya.

Should Lucious and Snape and Malfoy all like Hermione?

Do you even like this story?

Are you all pissed off because I changed Hermione?

Who should Hermione like? (You can include Sirius, Lucious, Snape, Draco, etc…)

Please (with whipped cream and cherries) review. Flames are accepted, but I don't really like them. Oh… one more thing, REVIEW!
