Chapter 4

Hermoine's Favor

"Did you want me to walk you to Snape's quarters?" Asked Ginny, "It is almost 10."

"Naw… I think I can make it…" replied Hermoine drearily.

"Are you sure you can find your way?" Ginny looked concerned, "You have been out of it all day…"

"Yeah, I'm sure…"

"Well don't say I didn't offer." Hermoine started out the dorms.

"Where're you off to 'ermoine?" Asked Ron nosily, "Who's money are you wasting this time?"

"Shut the hell up Ron!" Screamed Ginny, "This is none of your business!"

"Well it should be!" Screamed Ron back, "It should be my business, if ya'll didn't quit it would be! Stupid bitch!" Hermoine left as the siblings continued to quarrel.

Hermoine made it down the corridor leading to Snape's without any trouble from idle authority. She was there, in front of Snape's door dreading to open it when it opened itself, or rather Snape opened it.

"You're late!" Snape snapped.

"Sorry…" She stood there looking at her feet. Snape grabbed her and pulled her into the room hurriedly.

"What are you trying to do, just standing there in the hall? Get me in trouble?" Said Snape furiously.

"Sorry…" She gazed down at her feet some more. Snape slung her onto his bed. He pulled his shirt over his head. Hermoine gawked up at him, despite all odds he was fairly well built. He lifted her skirt…

"Where's Hermoine?" Asked Ron, "Didn't she ever come back last night?"

"… Oh shit…" Ginny completely forgot (It's not unusual for them not to see each other every breakfast, due to being whores and all.)

"That sick bitch…" mumbled Ron as he scooped some eggs into his mouth.

"Oh yeah, well, where's Harry?" retorted Ginny.

"Probably fucking Cho again" replied Ron smartly.

Hermoine walked into the Great Hall and sat down next to Ginny. Her hair was a mess and she was wearing the same clothes she had on yesterday.

"Well it's obvious what you've been doing" Ron spit.

"Shut up, Ron!" Yelled Ginny across the table, "Are you okay?" she said as she turned to Hermoine.

"Yup…" Said Hermoine dazedly.

"What's with that look? You're freaking me out Hermoine…" Asked Ginny.

"Whatever do you mean?" Hermoine gazed off into space with a stupid grin on her face.

"Oh no…" Ginny said seriously, "You've fallen for him, haven't you?"

"What? I don't understand." Said Hermoine in a far off whimsical voice as she continued to stare past all that was visible.

"Hermoine! What did he do to you?" Ginny's eyes were practically bulging in fright, "He didn't give you any funny looking potions did he?" Ron stealthily scooted in closer so he could hear what they were talking about. Ginny saw this and jabbed him in the eye with her manicured finger.

"Ahh!" He hollered, "You!" He groped at his face.

"Well if you weren't so nosey!" Hollered Ginny back at him. Ron jumped up from the table, overturning his plate in the process and ran from the Great Hall holding his eye. "Finally we can talk."

"Well… what would you like to talk about?" Said Hermoine to nobody in particular.

"Hello! Duh! I want to talk about you and Snape!" Ginny said shaking Hermoine by her shoulders.

"Well… I love him." Giggled Hermoine stupidly.

"WHAT!?" Ginny exclaimed, "What the hell happened last night for you to fall in love with Snape!?"

"Well… first he threw me on the bed, then he took off his shirt…" said Hermoine, "Oh by the way he's got the sexiest body." Ginny shuddered.

"Okay and, go on, please."

"Then he lifted my skirt and—" Hermoine was cut off by a sudden high-pitched screeching. Everyone turned to look toward the entrance to the Great Hall.

"I'm a merman!" Screeched Harry. He began gurgling up foamy bubbles.

"Dear Lord he's gone rabid!" Screamed Dennis as he ducked under the table.

"You idiot." Breathed Ginny.

Harry screeched once more then ran out the front doors of the castle. Ginny jumped from her seat grabbed Hermoine and ran after him. They saw him just as he jumped into the lake.
