A/Ns: Honestly, if I kill the cat there is no story! As for smut, well this fic is rated T for teen and it is a horror/mystery. I will admit some of my readers are not into the SS/HG ship and they can read confident in the knowledge that Severus and Hermione won't be kissing here. She's still a student and that's a no-no, so hands off Miss Granger (he's mine)! If you want romantic tension and kissing, read my SS/HG romance fic "She Waits". In She Waits, Hermione is not a student and operates the war control center at Grimmauld. Just click on the Droxy link above and find it on my list. Thanks for reading and reviewing. It makes my day!
Title: Cauldrons
"Thank you, Professor. You've saved me a lot of time," replied Hermione sadly lighting three more cauldrons up.
Snape replied his irritating smirk returning, "May I remind you that every cauldron you use will require cleaning."
She shrugged collecting more equipment. "Yes, but it is still more efficient this way."
He would not honor her with a reply and noticed she used the stewing time to clean for the next batch. He finished his grading and noticed she was half way through the sleeping draught before she spoke.
"Lavender Brown told me the house elves witnessed someone cursing a cat."
