To all everyone who reviewed you're the greatest.

Don't own harry potter. And if you don't know who does do you live on this planet.

Once Hermione left Severus room she ran for gryfindor tower. All she could think was he knew. He knew she hurt her self he knew she cried he knew she wasn't what everybody though she was. He knew she wasn't perfect. Hermione ran though the fat lady only to bump into Ginny. The youngest Weasley was no longer the young shy girl everyone used to think. She was no longer the over looked child in fact when Ginny walked into a room most eye fell on her. Most men was attracted to her as her long hair always stayed straight she had curves most girls would kill for and she still had the innocence and kindness she had always possessed.

"Hey Herm you ok. Dumbledore told us you were ill but when we went down to see you Madame Pomfrey said you weren't to be disturbed." The look of concern on Ginnys face made Hermione want to blurt out everything, however there was still apart of Hermione wanting just to die. "I just had a fever and Pomfrey said I was stressing myself out nothing much." Ginny looked dubious but left it at that. "Well how about we do something for today just the two of us." "well I don't know Ginny I've got a lot of studding to do and." Ginny quickly cut hermione of. "come on herms please I haven't had a conversation with you in weeks and when we have finish finished newts (All Hermione year was re sitting as the newts weren't held the year before due to voldermort and his demise.) Who knows when I'll get the chance to see you." Ginny stared pulling a puppy dog face and Hermione caved. "Maybe I do need a break."

The day past quickly for Hermione, she had forgotten all about the night before and was laughing at the antics Draco was using on Ginny. Ginny and draco had been dating since voldermort fell where Draco promptly told the entire school that him and Ginny had been dating for over a year and had been engaged almost as long. Hermione bought a new muggle book called Percy Jackson and the Olympians Lightning thief. Ginny brought fantasy make up saying something about draco like it when she pretends she's a muggle actress. They went the three broomsticks for a drink then shopped some more. By the time dinner had came around the girls where chatting the way they used to.

Hermione was glad when severus wasn't at dinner at least then she wouldn't have to see him. Once the meal was under way Hermione felt the alone all day she had felt like she used to. She had been busy and happy but now she was with drawing into herself again and now it felt worse. All she could think was why couldn't she be normal why does couldn't she just be happy.

By the time the feast was over Hermione was thoughly depressed. Quickly leaving the feast as Ginny was to busy making out with Draco and harry was in a conversation about quddicth hermione walked out of the hall and up to the Gryfindor tower.

Severus was stunned as Hermione left never in all his years had a student acted like that In front of him. He knew she had with drawn from her friend but the way she had acted over the last few days mad ehim really worry about hermione. He would never allow anybody go down that path while he could stop it no one. After spending the day cursing Hermione and wishing he could just shut he r up until he could show her there was something to live for but knew it would be know good. As he continued to think he heard a knock at the door as Dumbledore walked in. Severus scowled and Dumbledore twinkled. "Good to see you to severus." "Cut it out Albus and get to the point" "Why I don't know what you mean Severus. How about I call for some tea." Within seconds a tea tray was floating in front of them. "Know Severus as you know with having two year groups taking there Newts at once there is a larger need for mentors once they leave." Severus sighed " I am not taking on an a apprentice Albus. How many time." Albus seemed ready for this comment. "well I Guess I am no longer in need for you." Severus scowl grew. "I will look over the propsitions but f I see nobody fit then I will not take a apprentice." "Very well Severus so long as you have a valid reason for not taking on a Apprentice I will accept your decision. However there has to be avalid reason I will leave you this applications I wish to have your decision by the end of the week. With that Dumbledore left. After half an hour of Grumbling severus started to look at the applicant.

The applications went something like this

Dear professor I know you don't think I am any good at potions however I think by your guidance I would improve

N Longbottom

Severus quickly lit this application on fire muttering "Over my dead body."

Dearst Severus I would love you to teach me in more ways than one. Pansy parkison

Severus cringed then moved on.

Dear Professor snape you don't know me but I have heard many wondrous thing about you. I am currently studding in witch witch and cackle school in Australia. My potions grades are the highest in my year and I promise to be no inconvenient to you. I believe you once worked with my aunt whilst visting Melbourne her name is Proffessor hemry. I am currently trying to learn how to make the wollfbane potion and would be grateful to be tough by one of the most prestious potion master in the worls. Selma Starlight.

Severus looked at the letter it was promising but he really didn't want a apprentice till he turned to the next application.

Dear Professor

There are hundreds of reason why you would want me as an apprentice. So I will save you the time of thinking up some. I am one of Harrys best friend. I am Gryfindor I speak to much. I have infuriated you for years even case the odd curse. (Though you deseved it.) I have always prided myself on knowing the answer and helping other people which you think should be left to you. (Im talking about helping Neville before he explode a cauldron.) However I truly believe that you have much to teach and I would love to learn more. Though people don't notice you are amazing at your art and it is that reason I ask you to allow me to be your apprentice.

Yours Sincerely H Granger.

Severus smiled and could help but go over the letter. All his thoughs was maybe I can help her after all.

Hermione lay on her bed finishing of her book. Percy Jackson was an amazing charater and she wish she could be like annabeth however as soon as she finished the book she once again reach for the knife. Only this time she didn't pause to think about what she was doing.

Severus was still deciding on the best way to accept Hermione offer when a alarm was going off. There was only one alarm that sounded like that and it was when a student was dieing. Within moments Severus was running to the head girls room.

Well read and review. Also if you like harry potter read Percy Jackson by ric riodan its about a boy who has Adhd and Dyxselia and find out he half greek god and the greek god exist today. its amazing.
