Summary: Hermione undergoes a change in thinking and is determined to enjoy her last year to the fullest. Wacky hi jinks and craziness ensue leading to a list of amusing new rules for her, friendships with slytherins, and romance. This is my first attempt at any kind of fiction so please be kind. Constructive criticism is wanted, flames will be ignored. Hermione is a little OOC because of her change in thinking.
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns the Harry Potter Universe and all it's characters, I'm just playing with them for a bit. There may be slash as I said so you have been warned. I got the basic Idea for this story from the list 213 things skippy is no longer allowed to do in the army. I stole some of those things on the list as I could just hear them being said in the HP universe.

Chapter 7
Hermione had gotten her detention with McGonagal switched to the following Monday night and was just glad that she was amused enough not to make her serve it over the weekend. She had been at school little more than a month and already she had eight detentions. Only forty three more to go to beat the twins record.
When she got to detention in the dungeons that evening Snape set her to work on a simple healing potion for Madame Pomfrey. After a few moments of silence working on the potion she was startled when Professor Snape drawled out.
"I can't quite figure out why you are taking my courses this year Miss Granger. I don't believe you will find much use for potions in the illustrius field of Pokemon Training."
She spun around to see an almost friendly smirk on his face.
"Well" she said adding the powdered mirthryll "of course I'm just taking your class for fun."
"Really? well of course what could be more fun than my classes? Why I'm practicaly a stand up comic" he joked.
She burst out laughing picturing him on a stage doing stand up. Watch out Steven Wright.
"Minerva while amused was quite put out with you." he said. "Honestly Albus, I don't know what has gottin into to that girl this year. It must be the influence of those Slytherins she's been talking too" he imitated Professor McGonagal.
"Oh and I'll just bet you let that go by without a comment" she giggled.
"Of course not Miss Granger, I'm the evil Slytherin Potions Master I have a reputation to maintain."
She couldn't help but laugh at that. "Who are you and what have you done with Professor Snape" she giggled.
"Believe it or not I do have a sense of humor Hermione" he said not seeming to notice he called her by her first name and not her last.
"So I am seeing Sir, so I am seeing." She smiled at him pleased he was showing her this side of him.
They looked at each other for a few moments that actually seemed to stretch forever, then they both broke away flustered and went back to their work. When their hands accidently brushed when they were reaching for some wormwook she could feel the blush on her face. They didn't speak anymore after that until she was done.
"Same time tommorrow. Good Night Miss Granger" he said in that silky voice that warmed her insides.
"Tommorrow then. Good Night Sir."
She didn't hear him whisper her name as she closed the classroom door.

Harry and Ron had been quite stunned when they heard about Snape cracking jokes in detention. She told them he had actually been treating her quite nicely all week.
"Do you think someone put a spell on him?" Ron asked.
"Maybe someone slipped a personality altering potion in his drink" Harry replied.
"Really" Mione huffed "he hasn't acted any different in class."
"True" both Harry and Ron groaned.
"Anyway I'll see you guys in the morning" she said.
"Where are you going" Harry asked looking at the time "after curfew?"
"Slumber party in the Slytherin dorms. Shall I tell Lucy you said hello Ron?" she giggled.
"Your going to sleep in the dungeons?" Harry asked.
"Yes Why? Jealouse Harry?" She teased. "Do you wanna sleep down there by Dray" she asked making him blush.
He looked at her a bit curiously. "Do you think they'd let me in?"
"You could always sneak in mate. It's not that hard." Ron said.
"And just how would you know how easy it is to sneak into the Slytherin dorms Ronald Weasley?" Hermione asked in a Classic Molly Weasley tone of voice. Ron blushed and stammered before saying.
"Oh let's just go down there the worst they could do is tell us to leave" he said getting up and heading for the portrait hole.
When Ron pulled it open he was surprised to see the Slytherins in question standing there. Pansy with her hand up about to knock.
"Can we come in?" She asked.
"We figured we hosted the last party so it was your turn to host this one and here we are" Mils said.
"Oh sure and it had nothing to do with Draco wanting to stare at Potter and drool did it?" Pansy Drawled.
"Pansy!!!" Draco shouted blushing.
"Come on in" Ron said grabbing Lucy and snuggling with her.
"So this is Gryffindor. Rather bright isn't it?" said Blaise looking around.
It was at that point that Seamus, Dean, LAvendar, Pavrati, Neville and Ginny climbed in through the portrait hole.
"Slytherins!" Lavendar said. "What are Slytherins doing in out common room and with sleeping bags and pajama's at that?"
"We're hosing a interhouse slumber party Lav. If you look you'll see a few Ravenclaws and Luna is a Hufflepuff" Mione said.
"A girls night? Cool" Lav said.
Lavendar and Pavrati looked a little shacken at the Slytherins but if nobody else was minding neither would they.
"I don't know why I was dragged along I'm not a girl so I can't participate in girls night." Blaise said.
"Neither is Draco" Seamus pointed out.
"Yeah but he always joins the girls nights" he replied rolling his eyes. "I think it's cuz he's so pretty."
"Wanna play some wizards chess Zambini?" asked Ron breaking away from Lucy. Blaise nodded and headed over with Ron to set up.
The girls grabbed Draco and Hermione led them up the stairs to the seventh year dorms. As long as he was surrounded by the girls the stairs would stay normal. They set up sleeping bags and such and lounged around talking about the boys and reading girly magazines. Draco admitted his crush on Harry to Lavendar and Pavrati and they discussed ways to grab his attention.
Hermione talked about Snapes strange behavior this week.
"That's just Severus" Draco said. "That's the way he acts around those of us he likes."
"Really?" Hermione asked.
"Of course Mione. I'm his godson after all. So I would know." Draco sneered.
"Professor Snape is being nice to a Gryff?" Pavrati asked. "Is the world coming to an end?"
They chatted and did makeovers (Dray and Hermione just watched and offered advice) until around midnight. They then decided to go to sleep. There were classes in the morning after all. Not a one of them wondered what Blaise had done. Poor Blaise.
Ginny smiled wickedly as Blaise put a silencing charm around the bed and turned to her.
