It seemed as though Hermione was the last to know about recieving the lead role in the musical. Then again, she didn't have enough guts to go up to the wall and look. She heard about every one else, though, because Harry and Ron had a nasty comment about almost every single one.

"Shawn Gusee got the part of 'Handsome Guy'? whoever did the casting must be blind!" Snuffed Ron indignantly. Hermione came back with an equally nasty retort for Ron.

"Well, not as blind as if they cast you for that part, besides, unless you are either bisexual or gay, you have no right to remark about another male's attractiveness." It went eerily silent.

"Bullstrode as a dancer! They must be out of their bleeding minds! She'll probably fall throught the stage as soon as she does a hop!" Harry and Ron howled with laughter.

"And with your nasty attitudes, I'm suprised either of you hasn't gotten punched by her yet, you remember what happened sixth year when Dean Called her fat. He was in the hospital wing for a week, growing back his old teeth and healing that broken arm of his. You two deserve the same!" Hermione yelled. She didn't like Millicent either, but Harry and Ron were being downright cruel.

"I always knew Zambini was a froofy pouf! the fact that he's gonna dance proves it!" Ron said, twinkle in his eye.

"Just because he dances doesn't mean that he is a 'pouf', Ronald Weasley, it simply means that he is man enough to come out with his talents and brave enough to show them to assholes like you!"

"Just where she should be! streetsweeping, Hey Pansy! Why don't you lick my boots too!" yelled Harry. Hermione punched him right in the mouth. "Ow! 'Moine what was that for!"

"For you being a jerk! I should beat the crap out of you! but I wont simply because Professor Snape is watch-" Hermione was cut off by Snape himself.

"Miss Granger, I assure you that were you to assault Mister Potter, not only would I allow you to do so, I may also cheer you on and award house points."

"Thank you, Professor, However, I feel it more appropriate to verbally abuse him." She sent him a sneer that almost matched his own. Almost. He was almost proud. Almost.

It was dinner time in the great hall, and Hermione was looking around for where Harry may have disappeared to. Then she noticed that Ginny was also missing. Her lips became thinner as speculations ran through her head. She hoped, she really hoped that Ginny wasn't playing around on Draco with Harry. Then she saw the two of them enter together, Harry's face was slightly pinker than it normally was and Ginny's was flushed red. 'Oh Dear' thought Hermione.

At the end of Dinner, The announcement was made that rehearsals would start at 9:00 that night. "Act 1, Scenes 2 and 3, which will require the following Characters: Buffy, Giles, Willow, Tara, Xander, Anya, and Dawn, Thank you, I expect to see all the actors whose characters were mentioned previously in the auditorium at 9:00. That gives you an hour and a half to ready yourselves. Good night to the rest of you. "

With that everyone was off to the common rooms.

"Wow, 'Mione, you've got to go tonight, then, I wonder what time you'll get back, do you want us to wait up for you?" Asked Harry.

"Harry, What are you on about? I don't need to go anywhere tonight..."

"Hermione, your written down as 'Buffy'" Harry argued. Hermione just froze and toppled over backward. Someone, luckily caught her before she hit the ground.

"May want to watch your friends more closely, Potter. I may not be around the next time you shock the girl into a dead flop." A Velvety voice came from Harry's left and he quickly turned.

"Thank you so much Professor Snape, I didn't even know she had fainted." Harry said, truly thankful.

"That, Potter, is because you are a prattling moron, and you don't pay attention." Harry made a move to take Hermione from Snape's arms, when he said, "No, Potter, that's quite alright, I can carry her. The last thing we need is for you to flub up carrying her and having her fall down the stairs to her death, which is no doubt what would happen if I entrusted you with something as precious as human life."

Snape carried Hermione up to the Head Girl's rooms and laid her on her bed. 'Thanks to the powers that be, Potter had not followed us in.' He sat on her bed, next to her, waiting for her to rouse. When she finally did, it was almost time for her to get going to the rehearsal.

"Professor? What are you doing here?" She asked, a bit uneased by his prescence.

"I was simply waiting until you woke, to see if you have a concussion," 'That is a downright lie, Severus,' said the little voice in his head, 'You know damn well that she has no concussion, you caught her before she hit the floor.' "As far as I can see you have none, I will leave so that you may get ready for the rehearsal, sinse no one will be wearing their robes or school uniforms. Good Night, Miss Granger." He got up to leave.

"Professor" she said as he headed for the door, he turned quickly to face her. "Thank you." He nodded. She turned and headed for the bathroom. It's amazing what being within the close vicinity of one's crush for even a small period of time, will do to one's bladder.
