Chapter Three: Patrolling
12/02/97 - Detention #2
Hermione Ran down to the dungeons, she was already two minutes late trying to finish all of her homework, including Snape's ten foot Essay.
When she entered the potions class room, she noticed Snape wasn't there.
"Your late." He spoke from behind her.
"I'm sorry, I got caught up in my homework." She breathed.
He could tell she was tired.
"My essay?"
"Mainly, but I also had a compare contrast paper for Flitwick."
"That's alright."
Hermione's head snapped up. "No points taken?"
"Unless you want them, I have you for the month, Ms. Granger, and I'm well aware of the crunch study the teacher put seventh years in around now, I will understand if your late because of homework, just don't over use the privilege."
Ok, Snape saying it's alright to be late. "Professor are you alright?"
"Normal, why?"
"You never have ever tolerated tardiness, ever." She explained.
"I'm glad someone noticed. This is the exception, and like I said, don't get used to it." He looked at her, "You might want to get a cloak, we are patrolling the dungeons tonight."
"We sir?"
"Normally Detentions are scheduled around patrolling nights, or rescheduled, once again, I have you for a month, so you are to assist me when I have to patrol."
"Oh."
"Come on, I have to go by Gryffindor tower any way, we'll get your cloak."
Hermione was now confused, Snape was being decent! He never was hardly ever this agreeable.
Normally, if she had forgotten her cloak, he would have said "Well that's your problem isn't it? Should have remembered it, now its to late, sorry to say."
Well he didn't, and in fact, he offered to go with her to get it.
They walked in silence up to the tower. Hermione hopped in and grabbed her cloak and hoped back out.
"Alright, now I believe that you are capable of taking care of your self at night?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then you patrol the grounds near the qudditch pitch for a half an hour, then I will come get you and assign a new area for another half an hour this will continue until eleven any questions?"
"No sir."
"And this will be you detention for every Monday Wednesday and Friday, the places will change, but you'll figure out the pattern I'm sure. Now you can also assign detentions with anyone but me for obvious reasons, and take points as needed. Till eight thirty then." And he walked off.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
And she walked out to the Quddich pitch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The half an hour was up quickly and Snape arrived and notified her to patrol the hall in front of the kitchens.
Dobby saw her and offered some coffee while she patrolled.
She took it and drank it, as quick as possible; quite sure she wasn't supposed to be having any.
Dobby looked grateful to have helped, and went back into the fruit.
Hermione caught Crabbe and Goyle sneaking for food and assigned a detention with McGonagall for the next night. She had to write it down for them.
After that, she met no one, at least that she saw. Professor Snape came around nine and sent her to the dungeons. Here she had to help Crabbe and Goyle with getting back to bed, and she took off and additional ten points.
After that she met Malfoy, whom she took ten points from, and he still refused to go back to his room, she then assigned a detention, with Flitwick.
"Your blowing smoke Mud blood, you can't give me detentions."
"I can and I did, and I took ten points, go to bed before I take any more."
But he stayed, and for his troubles ten points were lost every minute and a detention given every five.
When Snape arrived, Draco still hadn't left.
"Professor, Malfoy has been bothering me this entire time, I took 250 points at a progression of ten per minute and I gave him five detentions, six including the first for back mouthing me, and yet he still refuses to leave."
"Is this true Mr. Malfoy?"
"Professor she can't take points or give detentions." He notified him
"She can, I gave her that ability since this is her detention with me. If you still don't believe it, then Mr. Malfoy I take an additional 250 points from Slytherin and give you six more detentions with whomever she assigned."
"Flitwick sir."
"So, 500 points total and 12 detentions Mr. Malfoy, all in an half an hour period of time, I believe you broke the record now go to bed!"
And Draco ran off so more detentions couldn't be given.
"I though you handled that situation quite well, Ms. Granger. A lot more lenient then I would have been."
"I thought so sir."
"Maybe I should give you something to prove that you are indeed capable of taking points and giving detentions." He thought for a bit. "I know." And he took a pin from his pocket and gave it to her.
It was silver with a green double S.
That signifies that you are assisting me with my work, and have all the abilities as far as points and detentions go, but you can't have any of your own."
She pinned it on her cloak.
"Thanks professor."
"No need to thank me, this is part of your punishment. Now next you are to patrol the great hall."
Once he left, Hermione looked down at the badge, she knew what it was. Teachers only have two of these for assistants, such as a teacher aide who grades papers or a lab assistant, and Snape was famous for not ever giving one out.
She had just received the one badge no one in the school ever acquired, even if it was for punishments, she felt something like pride build up in her as she walked down to the great hall.
Snape had trusted her with the badge, which meant more then becoming head girl for her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Snape walked up to the charms corridor, leaving her to her own work.
He smiled. Yes, she was kind to Malfoy, kinder then he would have been, however, she took more points with her kindness and fairness then he ever had.
She didn't just say "One hundred point off!" she said "Ten points off!" twenty five times, in a fair time constraint.
It amazed him, how doing something so small amounted to so much. He himself had never taken 250 points off before tonight, he had been afraid that the other teachers would have thought him to harsh, but hse had given him strength by already doing that task.
And it was fair. He only took away that many points when he was trying to make a point, she had done it in fairness. Ten points per minute, why hadn't he though of that?
Because the second he took points they ran off.
He once again marveled at her capability.
He paced the halls and when his watch stated ten Pm, he went off to see how she had fared.
Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays of this month were going to be a blast. Not that he liked finding students out of bounds at night, he rather enjoyed the silence.
But this way it felt more like an accomplishment, he also had a reason to pay attention to the time.
When he reached the Main Hall in front of the Great Hall, he found Granger talking with Professor Flitwick.
"Evening Professor." Snape greeted "Ms. Granger."
"Severus! I have twelve detentions with your student, I want you to take half."
"I'm sorry but I can't." Snape was smiling on the inside. Having Granger for detentions was almost a pleasure, she did what you asked no question to the best of her ability, anyone else, argued and mumbled and did a half arse job until their time was up.
"Why is that?"
"Ms. Granger is serving detention with me until the first of next month."
"If she is then why is she walking around the halls?" Flitwick looked at Snape questioningly.
"This is her detention, I'm having her assist me with my patrols, since I can't trade with someone considering how long I have to baby sit her at night. You have no problems with me doing this?"
"No, of course not, by the way who assigned Mr. Malfoy twelve detentions with me?"
"I did."
"You?"
"Yes."
"Why in heavens name?"
"Ms. Granger told him to go to bed and he stayed with her for twenty five minutes, so she took ten points per minute, and a detention with you per five. When I came to tell her where she was to go next, he was still there, so I took the exact same, she gave six detentions, the first when he refused to leave and the others accordingly, thus six and six is twelve. Do you wish me to change who they are with?"
"Flitch asked me to give him students, so how about half go to him?"
"No, the halls could use a break from that cat of his, we'll just change all twelve, is that fine Ms. Granger or did you assign professor Flitwick for a reason?"
"No that's fine."
"Severus, a word?" Flitwick asked.
"Certainly, Ms. Granger you are to patrol the astronomy tower next." She nodded and left quickly.
"You have her patrolling?"
"I couldn't think of something else that wouldn't take me away, I don't trust any Gryffindors in my class room." He explained.
"Why did you ask her opinion on the detentions Severus?"
"Because she originally assigned them, didn't I explain that?"
"Yes, but students don't have control over detentions, not even the head boy and girl can assign them."
"I gave Ms. Granger that ability and I believe that her goody, goody ways won't let her miss use the privilege. Also since Gryffindors hate Slytherins I was wondering whether your detentions might outrank mine." He smirked at this. "I was just checking, Mr. Malfoy kept her from patrolling and that's interrupting her detention, she has another half an hour added tonight because of it, so naturally I wanted to make sure he was punished for making me baby-sit her longer then I have to."
"You always think about yourself first Severus," Flitwick sighed.
"Of course, now if you don't mind, I have work to do." He bowed jerkily and walked off.
Flitwick watched after his younger colleague.
"But when I was questioning you, you brought her up at least once per question and you defended her. I saw the badge Severus; don't think I could have missed it. Tonight my friend you though of her, and her first."
Flitwick knew to keep it to himself, Snape had been rather pleasant, so whatever his time with Ms. Granger was doing to him, it was obviously a good thing right?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~
Hermione remembered what Flitwick had said to her.
"Ms. Granger what are you doing out of bed?"
"Patrolling."
"Students aren't to."
"Professor Snape has me patrolling, and I know better than to question that." She had been smiling; she knew Flitwick was smart enough to realize it.
"Why are you so happy?"
She touched her badge on impulse.
"Let me see that."
She took it off with a sort of reluctance.
"This means your Snape's assistant."
"Only for tonight, for the Patrolling, its for detention, I wont have it again."
"He has you Patrolling with full capabilities?"
"Yes sir."
"I see."
Snape had come then, she listened to his voice as he had described why Flitwick had so many detentions, and his voice seemed to beam with pride.
He was proud of her.
At least she thought so.
What had she done to earn that type of pride from him? Was it because she had logically and fairly taken away more points then she had ever lost?
Maybe.
It made her feel proud of her self.
When Snape found her at the end of the half an hour, she was nearly happy to see him.
"Ms. Granger, you have two more places to go."
"Two? Sir I though I was on my last interval."
"Yes, but with the Malfoy situation, I have to ask you to go for an additional half an hour, that's how the rules work."
He wasn't demanding, no he was asking her kindly to corporate.
"Sure professor, where do I go next?"
"Charms corridor."
"Alright sir." And she left the tower.
Once again, she did what ever you asked, not arguing, to the best of her ability.
The interval passed with no problem, and when Snape came again, it was to send her to the hall way in front of the Gryffindor common room.
There she paced and paced, grateful she had finished her homework before detention, even if it had made her late. She still could go to bed tonight with little worries.
It was ten minutes until she could go to bed.
Snape had told her that he wouldn't come back to tell her to go to bed, he told her to wait the half an hour and then just go. He didn't even ask for the badge back.
She figured to hide it when she got inside.
"Mione?" Harry asked from the portal "Why are you standing out here?" he came out.
Hermione frowned. "Ten points from Gryffindor Harry." She said sadly "Go to bed I'll explain later."
"Ten points?" he blinked at her
"Yes and ten more if you don't go back to bed Harry, please I don't want to take any more points please?"
"Fine, tell me later though"
"I will."
And he went back in.
Three more minutes.
Two more minutes One more minute
Her watch read 11:30 and she walked into Gryffindor tower.
Harry was sitting on a red chair by the fire place.
"Care to explain now?"
"Yeah, did I worry you?"
"A little, Ron and I were staying up waiting for you to come back, ron fell asleep at ten and I waited and when it was past eleven I was a bit worried so I waiting thinking he mde you finish up, but then twenty fine minutes had past, so I was worried. I looked out and there you were pacing the hall."
"Though I forgot the password?"
"Yeah, for a second, why were you out there?"
"I was patrolling."
"Patrolling?"
"Yeah that was my detention for tonight and every Monday Wednesday and Friday for here until new years."
"Why?"
"Because Snape has to?" she shrugged. "It has its pluses though,"
"Like what? I lost Ten points?"
"No, Like Slytherin lost 520 tonight just by me."
"Five-hundred and twenty?!?!?!?"
"Actually 250 of that were from Snape." She was smiling, "Guess who lost the Five hundred?"
"Who?"
"Malfoy."
"REALLY!?!?"
"No joke, he also had twelve detentions with Flitch."
"Man Mione I would hate to have you as a teacher!"
"Actually I was kind. I took Ten from Crabbe and Goyle each for sneaking about to the kitchens, and I ran into Malfoy in the dungeons, he didn't believe I could take points or give detentions after I took ten points and gave a detention. So I gave him a detention every five minutes and took ten points every minute. Snape came along and took that exactly again for good measure."
"Snape took from his own house?" Harry was now confused.
"Yeah, well Malfoy added to my detention a half an hour since he interrupted it, so that probably pissed Snape off."
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Oh well, your back now." Harry looked over at Ron.
"Lets not tell him ok?"
"Sounds fine. He'll find out the old fashioned way any who."
"Yeah, good night Harry."
"Night Mione."
And they went to bed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
AN: Finally!
I'm so sorry to those who have had to wait for this, it took me a while to get around to it. I try to update everything, yet sometimes it's hard will all of my excess work on top of all of it!
Please forgive me, I'm trying to keep this one up too. And for extra measure and as a gift to all of you, I made it longer! Ten pages on Microsoft Word. I normally write 5-6 pages.
I hope you all enjoy!
