Did you like the cliffy? I am very, very sad. (Sniffles and dries away a tear.) I got told I was hated and asked if I was on crack, just because I put Hermione in Slytherin! (Sound familiar, Pia?) If any of the rest of you is mad, please tell me. Not that I care or anything, but I'm curious at your reactions. Don't worry, Hermione's in Slytherin for a very good reason! (I just haven't thought of it yet.) On to the next chapter then...

As Lucious turned around, Hermione shivered slightly, and not from the cold. When she had a good look at his face, she nearly fainted.

They heard a 'harrumph' behind them, and turned around to find Snape behind them, with a sheepish grin on his face.
' Uhh… thanks!' He said, and bolted.
Hermione felt her arm being grabbed roughly, and felt herself being dragged toward the door. She turned to see…
I'm sorry this is such a short chapter, but I can't think of anything else (except the next chapter). I swear I'm not putting up the next chapter until I have 5 reviews! So freakin' REVIEW! (If only so I know someone has read it!)
