I think I'm a bit out of ideas, I will really appreciate it if any of you
could give me ideas in your reviews or send me an email to make this story
more interesting, I will take the idea and put it in the story if I think
it goes along well with the plot, by the way, can anyone tell me what
'fireball', 'perfume', and 'poison' is in Latin? I think I will need it to
turn it into a spell later on in the story. If you think it's interesting
enough to think of Snape's punishments, you could send them to me and I
will include them in the story just for fun.Thanks.

Hermione's Birthday
The first day of term has begun. Unfortunately for any Gryffindors, Snape's potion class was their first class in year. Snape hadn't changed a bit, if you don't include that he has taken a lot of experience from Filch's talk and his detentions were worse than ever. If you broke a rule in front of Snape, and you are a first year, you get hung up-side down (both legs, fortunately, not by a toe like Filch said) for half an hour and write his potion notes down five hundred times. If you are a seventh year, for example, you could levitate yourself and charm the quill so it writes the note five hundred times for you, so instead, you get sent to the forbidden forest to sleep for a night (so you have to get ready to do a lot of jinxes and spells to be safe for the night.). The Gryffindors and Slytherins paired up in their usual pairs and stood in front of their cauldrons. Snape walked into the dungeon just like usual, he stood in front of the class, his eyes looking over them, especially Harry. Snape started with the usual beginning of year speech, 'You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making,' he started, but no longer than his first sentence, Harry spoke. 'Professor, you say the exact same words every year, you may think we don't notice it, but we do.' 'Damn it, Potter, can you stop ruining it for me every time?' It was a rare sight to see Snape so annoyed. Even the Slytherins were amazed. Harry gave Snape his most innocent face and continued brewing his potions. Suddenly, there came a yelp from Neville that indicated that something had gone wrong, everyone levitated themselves just in time as Neville's potion flooded onto the dungeon's floor, except Neville, Hermione levitated him. Hermione and Cassandra walked back to their dorm after transfiguration, what they found in their dorm was a heap of presents lying on Hermione's bed, it all came from her family and relatives for her birthday present. 'You never told us when you're birthday was, Hermione, I would have gave you your birthday present already.' Cassandra thought for a moment, as she looked at the cards Hermione's family sent her which read "Congratulations on your birthday coming up!" she asked Hermione what it meant, and Hermione started to explain 'Well, my birthday is on the 20th of September, but the owls sometimes deliver them pretty late, so my family sent them EXTRA early.' 'I know! We could go to Diagon Alley for one night on your birthday, it's on Friday anyway. Come on, it's going to be fun!' Cassandra started to write her plan down and sent it to Harry and Ron using her owl, Persephone. The next day, the three of them talked excitedly about that day, what they would do, what they would buy for Hermione, this made her blush a bit. On the day, Hermione and Cassandra would be waiting for Harry and Ron in their room, then, they would go to Diagon Alley using brooms, Harry, Ron, and Cassandra has their own brooms, while Hermione would be sitting behind Harry, this was, of course, planned by Ron and Cassandra. Cassandra had her hair tied up and wore a lavender shirt with her sleeves tied to her elbow and a dark blue knee-length dress while Hermione wore a dark blue shirt with the end of her sleeve open, and a black dress, perfectly witch like. Harry was wearing a black shirt with a quidditch player who kept giving annoying comments about every thing, he said what a beautiful young lady was sitting behind Harry, which made Harry punch himself in the stomach, not aware that the quidditch player would not feel pain, he would. Ron wore a green sweater over a T-shirt and dark blue jeans. They arrived at Diagon Alley at 7, they had skipped dinner, they wanted Hermione to have a nice birthday dinner with them. The gang walked around Diagon Alley and managed to find a nice restaurant to eat in, they talked over their dinner and planned how to make Snape get annoyed then retire. It was a fun dinner, then, they wandered around to buy things for Hermione, although she insisted that she wouldn't take any. Harry's quidditch player kept shouting remarks of what Harry was going to buy, Harry kept having to punch himself in the stomach and groan painfully later on. Hermione walked towards a photo shop and asked of anyone wanted to take a picture whole group, everyone agreed. They walked in, and saw-Hagrid. 'Hagrid?! What are you doing here?' asked Harry, he was amazed to see the Hogwarts gamekeeper in Diagon Alley having a job as a photo taker. But what he worried about more was: Will Hagrid tell the professors that they had been out of school for one night? But then, he decided that Hagrid was their best friend, and wouldn't tell. Hagrid on the other hand, seemed more nervous than them, he started to explain, 'It's not that I want to escape or anything, it's-it's just that, I have to have a life outside Hogwarts, I need extra money to buy something for madam Maxime, you never know when the next tri-wizard tournament is coming up.' Hagrid became dreamy eyes at this point, making the whole gang stare at him, 'but anyway, what do you want your photo to be like?' Hagrid had at last snapped out of his dreamy state, and started to get professional. Hermione and Cassandra stood close to each other, getting ready to take the picture, seeing that the two boys are still talking, Hermione pulled the closest one, Harry, closer to her, this made Harry turn deep red, Hermione looked at Harry and asked what had happened to him, then, she realized what she was doing, she let go of his hand and turning red herself, this made Ron laugh hysterically, but they managed to take a picture in the end anyway. Hagrid takes the gang back to Hogwarts with him, after he finished his part-time job, they all gave Hermione the presents they bought, Hagrid, who didn't know to buy anything, baked cookies instead, Harry, Hermione, Cassandra and Ron didn't touch the cookie, but they talked and suggested that it must be late, they have to go back to their dorms, but Hagrid insisted on giving them the cookies to bring back. They have to take it, but gave them to the house elves when they were out of sight.
