Let me in
As Hermione landed on the cold, hard floor of the astronomy tower, she looked up in confusion.There, staring menacingly at her was none other than Professor Snape.
She wasn't sure but she thought she caught a glint of a tear in his eye." What the hell do you think you were doing?" he said in a calm, although rather shaky voice. "What do you care? You hate me!I would have thought you would be the first to hold a party after the Know-It all Mudblood died!". Hermione was angry that he had interrupted her final farewell. She wanted to be lying in a lump at the bottom of the tower instead of being persecuted for being depressed. Without saying a word,Snape picked Hermione up by the shoulders and just stared at her."Well" he said, his voice not nearly as calm as it was before. "You wouldn't understand! I'm amazed you care!" She said in a cold voice. "I do care. I don't want to lose the only student in my class who has a hope of passing her O.W.L.s and becoming a halfway decent Witch. Besides, If you had of succeeded that would have been the death penalty for my dungeons with Longbottom still around." Hermione laughed involuntarily. She wasn't exactly sure what she found amusing, it was more out of shock at the fact that Snape had told a joke. How peculiar. "When Lord Voldemort returns you shall be required greatly. The prophecy states th-"With that he cut himself off, looking angry with himself. What prophecy? What does it say? How am I involved? Why me?" Hermione regurgitated only a small number of the questions that had popped into her head at the mention of a prophecy."ENOUGH"Snape shouted" You shall find out soon enough. Now. Dumbledore is waiting to speak to you in his office". With that, Snape turned on his heels and walked swiftly down the spiral staircase with Hermione in close pursuit. "How did Dumbledore-Does Dumbledore know about what I tried to do?" Hermione asked, although she knew what was to follow. "Dumbledore knows everything that goes on in this school. He has know for sometime how you have been feeling and has been greatly troubled. For the past week me and Professor McGonagall have been following your every move to make sure you did not try to do something as rash what you were about to do" Now, enough questions, Dumbledore awaits".
Hermione was angry that she not been trusted and her privacy had been invaded in such a manner but she thought best not to vent her frustration through Snape.She silently thanked Ron for producing such a lifelike voodoo doll to torture." Now how to get hold of it" she thought.
Before she knew it she was stood in front of a stone gargoyle. "Acid pops" Snape declared and the gargoyle moved aside to reveal a beautiful, tightly wound staircase." After you" Snape said and she stepped on to the first step just as it started moving. It wound its way to the top of the staircase, revealing a magnificent oak door with a Phoenix carved into the wood."Enter" she heard a disembodied voice call before she had chance to knock on the door. She felt her stomach drop below her knees as she entered the room.
