Chapter 4
Hermione did have to scrub cauldrons for her detention as she had thought but she did get to annoy her professor by smiling as if she was enjoying herself the whole time. Snape made a few snarky comments but for the most part left her alone as all she did was give him a blinding smile when he addressed her. She did notice he spent most of the time staring at her as if he didn't know who she was. She was getting that alot lately. But for some reason she got a strange but good feeling in the pit of her stomach when his eyes were on her. She had always admired and respected him for the things he had done for the war effort, the way he put his life in jeopardy regularly and his loyalty to Dumbledore. She admired his intelligence and though he would be interesting to talk to if he would just be a little less snarky. Though in truth Hermione found his snarkyness amusing as if it wasn't directed at you, you could see that his comments were witty and amusing. Truth be told He just wouldn't be Snape if he got rid of that though he could be a little less mean. Why was she thinking so much about him anyway. The way she was acting you might think she was thinking about a crush or something.
"Oh no" she thought. That's when she lost her smile. Could she possibly have a crush on the snarky potions master? Well he was the most intelligent man she knew. And lord knows she prized intelligence. She would need someone who could have an intelligent conversation. Who wasn't put off by her brain. Someone who would be interested in her brain just as much as everything else. Snape would be someone like that, but still he was mean, or maybe he just didn't know how to stop acting? He also hated her, called her a bossy little know it all. But maybe that could be gotten around. WHAT? What was she doing. Was she actually considering ways to seduce Snape? Maybe she'd breathed in too many fumes from these cauldrens. Yes that was it. She'd go get some rest and everything would be back to normal by morning.
When she finished her detention, Malfoy was waiting outside the Potions room and he started walking with her.
"I overheard Snape saying the heads of houses were going to be doing a surprise bed check tonight. Just thought i'd let you know." He said.
"Really. This should be an interestin night then." She said with a grin. Then laughed harder at Draco's confused look.
"Why You have something planned?"
"Oh I don't know Draco. Maybe"
"What I warn you about impending trouble and your not even going to tell me Hermione" he stressed her name.
She looked at him and said "It's Mione to my friends and No but I'm sure you'll hear all about it eventually."
"Ok Mione" he said "be that way. And it's Dray to my friends. Although FRIENDS share thier excapades." He cajoled.
"Just chalk it up to me being new to this whole being bad thing."
Draco laughed "Well I'll see ya tomorrow Mione. Have a good night."
She waved and walked up to her dorm to get ready for the bed check later. Ok so it was a really childish and immature idea she had but it would be funny and thats all that counted. She stopped in the common room to warn Ron and Harry and a few others about the surprise bed check she had found out about and just smirked and said "I can't reveal my sources" when asked how she had found out.
*~*~*~*~*~
Later that night as McGonagal lit up the girls dorm for her surprise check she found herself quite shocked when she got to Hermiones bed. There sitting in the middle of her bed with her arms wrapped around it was a lifesize inflatable sheep with the words Loven Sheep written in pink on it. Professor McGonagal spluttered and bit out "Miss Granger, What in the world is that and WHY do you have it on display."
"Why Professor it's my loven sheep. I thought you might like to meet it." She replied with an innocent (fake) shy (fake) smile.
"Miss Granger that is COMPLETELY innapropriate Detention with me tomorrow after dinner. Inflatable sheep do *not* need to be displayed during a bed check." She practicly yelled though her face was bright red. Whether from embarrassmen or anger she didn't know.
After she left Hermione laughed until her sides ached and eventually her dorm mates realizing it was a joke joined her.
"Did you see how red her face got" Lavendar exclaimed.
"Hermione I can't believe you did that. I thought McGonagal was your favorite Professor? Not only that but you got yourself ANOTHER detention. That is so unlike you. What's with you Mione?" Pavrati asked.
"What I'm not allowed to act like a teenager and have a little fun now and then?"
"Well to be honest Mione until recently we didn't think you knew what fun was" Lavendar said with an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm learning girls. I think it's about time don't you?" She said as she said the spell to put out the lights not seeing both girls emphatically nodding thier heads.
*~*~*~*~
"Ron Weasley why didn't you tell us what Hermione had planned for the bed check last night. Pavrati and I almost had a heart attack until we realized it was a joke." She overheard Lavendar saying as she walked down to the common room.
"What ya talken about Lavendar? We didn't know Mione had anything planned" Ron replied.
"Yeah what'd she do Lav?" Harry asked. As Seamus sat down to hear what was going on.
"When McGonagal lit up the room for the check Hermione had this lifesize inflatable sheep with Loven Sheep written on it and she had her arms wrapped around it. McGonagal about had an apopoloxy and gave her detention for tonight." Lav gushed.
The three boys looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"That's something Fred and George would do" spit Ron between laughs.
"Well it was rather a shock. I mean we thought she was for real at first. Can you imagine waking up next to one of your dorm mates cuddling a lifesize loven sheep?"
"Oi Lav we do room with Seamus ya know." Harry laughed and dodged Seamus's fist.
"Oh you'll get it for that Harry." Seamus said though he was grinning too.
"It looks like my secrets already out then. Oh Lav how could you tell them about seymore?" Mione giggled
The boys laughed even harder at this. "Oh Mione do you really See More?" Seamus asked with a wink. They didn't stop laughing until they reached the great hall for breakfast and then they had to retell the story to the others that hadn't heard and the laughter started all over again. Especially when they noticed professor McGonagal turn pink whenever she looked their way.
It didn't take long for the story to get around to the other houses and by lunch time Draco, Pansy and Mils had walked up to her and asked if it was true. When she said it was they all burst out laughing. Draco patted her on the back and said "good one Mione. Did she really turn red and tell you that inflatable sheep do not need to be displayed during bed check?"
"Why yes she did Dray."
"Hmmmm I wonder when they need to be displayed then." He laughed.
"Guess Transfigurations is out huh Mione?" Pansy said with a smirk.
"Well you could always display it during care of magical creatures and say it was a learning tool." Mils said as they all collapsed into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Blaise Zambini asked as he walked up to the four of them.
"Blaise you know Mione." Dray said to him.
"Hi"
"Hi Blaise right?" Mione said
"Yep that's me." he replied "So what is so funny."
They laughed again as Dray told him the story.
"Maybe we should watch her and make sure she has nothen to drink after an hour. I mean arn't you the one who avoids getting into trouble and spends most of your time studying?" he asked her.
"Well it is my last year and Girls just want to have fun." She giggled thinking of the song.
"That's cool" he said "so did anyone invite you to the party we're haven on friday?" he asked
"No"
"Well consider yerself invited then." He said with a smile before he walked on to lunch.
"Oh yeah we were gonna ask you if you wanted to come. You could even bring your Gryffindor friends as long as they behave and don't start anything." Pans said as they too headed to lunch.
At lunch she told Harry, Ron, Seamus and Ginny about the party invite. Ginny immidiatly said she wanted to go and so did Seamus. Ron said there was no way he was going until Harry piped in that it might be fun. So Ron agreed to go but was leaving the first time one of those Slytherins showed their true colors. The talk went on with what to wear, mainly her, Ginny and Seamus, while Ron and Harry just rolled their eyes and said clothes are clothes.
Detention was uneventful except for the lecture she got from her head of house on appropriate behavior and told she was dissappointed as she had always been such a level headed girl. Though she felt a small pang at that she ignored it and pushed it out of her mind. If her parents were alright with her having a little fun and as long as her grades didn't come down she was not going to worry what anyone thought. She deserved this. After 6 years of working non stop it was time for a little partying. Though she wished she could get the thought of Severus Snape out of her head.
