Hermione paced the Potions corridor frantically. She wrung her hands and smoothed her robes. How in Merlin's name could this have happened? There was no explanation—no simple one, at least—and, like always, she had to find the answers.
Hermione opened the door to Professor Snape's classroom, and made her way to his private study. She hesitated before knocking.
"Come in," said the voice from within.

"Ms. Granger. I had thought you would come."
Hermione nodded imperceptibly. "Professor…" He shook his head almost dismissively.
"Last night was a mistake, Ms. Granger."
