Ok long enough I think so lol I'll leave now. BYES!!!

Summary:Hermione gets locked out of her house in her cute little pink pajamas! And who come along and catches her in this odd predicament? Why Snape of course! Rated M for later chapters!!

Hermione sat in her new kitchen grumbling into a cup of tea. Her second day in her new house and she was already having problems. Dumbledore helped her put wards on her new house she just moved into the day before. She didn't feel like she needed wards to protect her since Voldemort was gone but Albus insisted just to be safe. Before Albus left he said goodbye and Hermione could have sworn she seen a twinkle in his eyes but she brushed it aside.

She looked around the kitchen getting bored. She needed something to do to take her mind off the odd occurrences in the house. She went outside to get the muggle news not worrying about her pajamas cause she would be back inside in a second. She reached down on the step grabbing the paper and letting the door latch behind her. She read the front page; "Happy New Year! Have a great 2008!" while she reached for the door knob. As she touched it it shocked her making her drop the paper.

She looked at the door watching it emit a few sparks. Now she knew there was something defiantly wrong with the wards. To top it off she was now stuck on the street in her pink PJ's with little wands and broomsticks on them. She would just have to get Dumbledore and he would fix this whole dilemma. The only problem is she didn't want to go to Hogwarts dressed like this. As she thought things couldn't get any worse she heard someone clear there throat behind her.

"Well, well Miss Granger Looks like your in quite a predicament."

Hermione turned around slowly so that she was facing her old professor. She blushed being very embarrassed.

"I'm fine. All I need is to get Dumbledore to fix the wards he put up." she said while trying to straighten out her hair.

Snape smirked when seeing she was still in her pajamas. He thought they actually looked good on her but he didn't show it. His eyes traveled back up to her face and he felt a bit of pity for her but only for a moment.

"Well I'm sorry inform you but Albus left this morning saying he was in need of a vacation. He didn't tell anyone where he was going."

He smiled inwardly at the reaction of Hermione. Her jaw dropped and her eyes grew wide. She reminded him of a deer in the headlights.

She blinked a few times and finally closed her mouth and said:

"Did he say when he was going to be back? I need to get into my house! I'm not even decent for Merlin's sake!"

She started to panic and tried to open the door again. She received another shock this time making her fall backwards. Luckily for her Severus hadn't lost his agility and swiftly caught her righting her and then acted like nothing happened.

"Miss Granger, I really don't think panicking will help matters any. Obviously you won't be able to get back in your house till Albus gets back. So I suggest moving in with someone else."

"There's no one else I can move in with!" She spat getting angry. "Harry's working on a family with Draco. Ron's been acting odd lately and I defiantly don't want to move back in the Burrow or with that horn dog Sirius!"

Hearing Hermione's description of Sirius made Snape smile. Sirius was the most sexually active animagus in his days at Hogwarts.

"Well then Miss Granger since you have nowhere else to go and I hate seeing a witch such as yourself become homeless especially in those." He waved a hand at her pajamas. "I will offer you one of my guest rooms. That is till Dumbledore gets back of course."

Hermione blinked and then smiled.

"Professor Snape did you make a new years resolution to be nicer?"

"Do not become cocky Miss Granger, it does not suit you. If you do not want to come I will just be on my way." Snape turned and took a step forward but was stopped by a hand on his arm. He turned around to face Hermione once more.

"You right I'm sorry. I will come live with you till Dumbledore gets back. So um... how are we getting there?"

Snape shook his head rolling his eyes. Sometimes Hermione could be so daft. He looked up and down the street and then grabbed Hermione around the waist. She jumped in shock at being this close to her old professor.

"It would be wise to grab my waist Miss Granger seeing as my house is nowhere around here."

Hermione stared at Snape for a second and then did as she was told. She took it a step further and put her head on her chest closing her eyes and listening to his heart beat. She never did like to apperate very far. They left the street in a "pop". As Snape had warned her it was a bumpy ride. She hadn't noticed it but Snape let her go when they arrived at the front of his house.

"You may let go of my person now." Snape said raising an eyebrow and looking down at the woman still clinging to him. She released him quickly and opened her eyes. Hermione looked around taking in the scenery. The house she thought would have been huge was in fact a small cottage.

Severus noticed her surprised face and said, "It's not much but I don't like to flaunt my wealth." He walked in holding the door for her.
