Severus waked up before his alarm clock rang. He had a very good sleep, and he had dreamed something, but he didn't remember anything about it. Something vague about fencing and naked young girls. Severus dismissed quickly the thoughts and prepaid himself for new day.

Suddenly he remembered that he was forced to see Lucius Malfoy that morning. Which means he had to support his incessant chatter.

Suddenly Severus somehow good mood was away and his usual scowl crept to his face. Then he remembered that he had a goof fencing partner. Plus then, he remembered who the person was. Slowly the smile crept back to his face.

Hermione had been awake for an hour now. Her tiny Charm's professor had just placed the invisibility charm on her. She looked like before it had happened. Although she had had those wings only for a few days, she had quickly got used to them.

Now, when she looked at herself she felt like something was amiss. She put quickly her robes on and hurried away to the Great Hall. She wanted to see Harry and Ron.

She had received very strict orders from Dumbledore and from Snape. She wasn't allowed to talk to anyone about her 'mutation'. Severus had been very strict to her about that and she didn't even want to imagine what he would do to her if she disobeyed.

When Hermione arrived in the Great Hall, her eyes searched for Severus. She saw him sitting next to Professor Sprout at the Main Table.

Severus felt her eyes, and turned his head. Their gazes locked. Hermione smiled to him, and he gave her a sharp nod.

After this, Hermione started to walk to her usual spot of the table, between Ron and Harry. Both boys were over happy to her again and asked her about her accident.

She looked at them, surprised. Then she remembered the lie she was supposed to tell because she hadn't been in classes. She muttered something about falling in the stairs and breaking her leg twice. She started to describe all the details, and quickly the boys bid her to shut up.

Harry told her that today they were going to have at least the Defence against the dark arts class. Dumbledore had really had problems finding a new teacher, so no one had teached the classes at the beginning of the term.

Hermione cast a new look at the Main Table. All the usual teachers were there, no new face. She looked down at her time table and saw that the mystery was going to clear up. Her first class of day was Defence against Dark Arts.

Hermione stood up and left the great Hall, chatting with Harry and Ron. Neville, who was sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table, just next to door, felt a strange brush in his back. He turned around, but only he only saw Hermione's retreating back.
