"Why are you in my room?"
Hermione turned to face her fearsome Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"I'm looking for eggs. There are only about twenty in here. No potion though," she said.
"How did you get in here?" he demanded. "There are wards set up."
"No wards are impenetrable," she said inspecting a peanut butter bunny found in a yellow spotted egg. "Yours were better than most but still not that hard to crack with the proper spells." She popped the sweet into her mouth.
Snape just stood there as she flipped the covers back from the bed and extracted two pink eggs from the sheets. She opened one of them, observed its contents and tossed it into the basket. Then she opened the second, snickered, and added it to the basket.
"What are you doing?" he demanded as her snicker snapped him out of his stunned reverie.
"I'm hunting for Easter Eggs," she said, opening the doors to his wardrobe. She opened the underwear drawer first and pulled out a pastel blue egg. Its contents inspired full blown laughter. She dangled a pair of furry pink handcuffs for him to see. "Apparently Dumbledore thinks you need these. What you really need is some new underwear. These are all gray."
"They're meant to be gray," he snarled, snatching the handcuffs from her and slamming the drawer shut.
Hermione rummaged through the clothes that were hanging up and extracted a purple egg from one of the pockets of a set of teaching robes. Inside she found chocolate but not just any chocolate: chocolate body paint. She tossed it to him and continued her search.
"I already scoured your lab, your office, your store room, and your sitting room. I need to finish in here and then try your bathroom," she informed him. She set her basket on the floor and then levitated herself up to look for eggs in the canopy of his bed. Finding none, she dropped to the floor and searched under the bed, coming up with three, two of which had been hidden in the bunny slippers under the bed.
"What are you doing with baffies?" she demanded, tossing the eggs into the basket.
He snatched them away. "It's none of your business," he snarled.
She shrugged, returning to her search. Finding no more eggs, she moved on to his bathroom. In the cabinet above the sink, she found three purple eggs, each containing Grease-be-Gone hair potions and hair styling incantations. Behind the toilet was an egg containing a small bottle of special reserve fire whiskey and another containing hangover potion.
He followed her in there. "Did you really think it would be hidden here?"
She shrugged. "You never know. Dumbledore obviously thinks you need to get lucky."
In the shower was where Hermione found it. It gleamed in the dim light from the candles throughout the Professor's chamber. It was a large golden egg.
