Summary: It wasn't fair. One of her best friends had given up everything to protect the wizarding world. Even the most hated Professor in the school was a spy. All in the hopes of riding them of a madman. Forbidden to interfere. She could do nothing but watch as the rest of their world simply waited for a young teenager to take care of everyone's problems.

Disclaimer: Not mine unfortunately…I just enjoy playing with them and making my own little world away from real life.

Warnings: WIP, basically whatever my poor brain comes up with at the time. Does not follow the books.
Notes: Beta is no other than (gryfferin666). Thanks for all your help.

Chapter Four

Noticing it was almost time for lunch Hermione made her way down to the Great Hall. She was looking forward to getting outside. She had been cooped up for weeks and hadn't gone on any of the regular trips with the rest of the students. Finishing her lunch while listening to Ron and Harry talking about Quidditch she muttered something about studying. Picking up her books she took off before anyone could stop her. Snape was already waiting when she arrived at the entrance hall in full Potions Master persona. Without saying a word she walked past him and started towards the front gates. Smiling to herself thinking. "This could be fun."

Snape followed her as she went from store to store gathering what she needed. Neither one saying any more than necessary. They had just left The Three Broomsticks, when who should be standing in front of them? None other than Lucius Malfoy.

"Well, well, look who we have here." drawled Lucius as he noticed Snape and Hermione coming out of the storefront. Leaning on his cane and looking down his nose at her making it quite clear what he thought of her. "Slumming I see Severus."

Before Snape could reply, Hermione put her hand on his arm and shook her head.

Smirking at him she said. "Wanna have some fun?" He raised his eyebrow. "Miss Granger, I hardly think this is the time for that."

She smiled even bigger and turned to Lucius who was not happy being ignored. Malfoy's simply were not ignored. "We wouldn't want Mr. Malfoy to feel neglected now would we Professor?

Before Snape or Lucius could move, she disappeared and reappeared behind Lucius.

Leaning in she whispered softly. "Now Lucius run along and be a good boy, there's a dear."

Lucius snarling whipped around drawing his wand as he turned. Instead of drawing hers as he expected she stepped in closer to him. Quickly wrapping her arms around his neck she ran her tongue up the side of his face. "Naughty, naughty." She teased laughingly. Hermione and Snape both vanished before he could blink. They reappeared outside the gates to Hogwarts. It was all she could do to stop laughing.

Snape was standing there looking at her speechless for once. Gathering his wits about him. He started demanding answers. "How in the Hell did you do that?"

It was priceless seeing Severus Snape caught off guard. It had been so worth it. She got a grip on her self, knowing that she had even more questions to answer now. Standing upright she plastered an innocent look on her face.

"I told you I could take care of myself. Don't worry I'll fill you in when we meet with the Headmaster. It's almost time for dinner and I want to put this stuff away before then." Not giving him time to do anything other than sputter, Hermione headed into the castle.

In Hogsmeade Lucius was stunned but refused to let it show. After all no one could apparate without making any noise at all. Certainly not a Mudblood. Even the most experienced person made a soft muffled noise. Finished with his shopping he headed home. Refusing to dwell on it further he handed his shopping to the house elves and headed to his study. He needed a drink, preferably a very large one.
