Chapter Five: Interruption

Problem! Problem! How the hell could he stand there in his blackness and call this a problem? It was a catastrophe, and Hermione did not know what to do. "I wish that Sirius was here." Hermione did not realize that she has spoken out loud.

"What was that Granger?" Snape roared.

Knock, knock, knock. And, without waiting for a reply, Sirius enters the room, quickly followed by Arianna.

"Snape, Lupin has something that I think you should inspect." Sirius stopped, he had just realized that Hermione had tears in her eyes. "Her...Miss Granger, what's the matter." Snape finally exploded.

"That, Sirius, is none of your concern!" He stopped and took a deep breath. He noticed that everyone was clearly stunned by his out burst. "Now Sirius take Miss Lupin outside my office while I finish up with Miss Granger." There were now silent tears flowing down Hermione's face.

"Hermione is the only one who can tell me to leave!" Sirius challenged.

"It's alright Sirius, I'll be done in a moment." Hermione sounded as if she wasn't so sure.

Snape noticed that they were all of a sudden on a first name basis.

"Are you sure?" Concern still filled Sirius' voice.

"Yes, now go." Hermione's voice sounded determined.

Arianna and Sirius left closing the door silently behind them.

A.N: Yes, I know. Another very short chapter, but the updates are very close together. Upcoming: Maybe a Mask Ball/Kereoke night. Let me know what you think, also any song suggestions for characters would be appreciated.
