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.
Sorry it took me so long to update but I got a bit busy, I'll try and update at least once a week or more in the future.
Big Thanks to my Beta Gelsey. Whom without things would be less error free!

avivagirl: Thanks for all the constructive critisism. Some of it I knew and plan to revise later like the 1st, 3rd person thingy.

Chapter 13
Detentions so far 14. List of things Hermione can no longer do at Hogwarts 19
The next morning after breakfast Professor Snape stalked up to her, Harry and Ron as they were walking towards the dungeons for Potions.
"Miss Granger, I do believe we had a detention scheduled for yesterday evening of which you never showed up for," he said silkily.
"Um yes Professor."
"May I ask as to why you didn't show up? Were you in the hospital wing, Did you fall asleep, or did you get into studying and forget?" he said offering her some convenient excuses.
"No sir. You see, I was so upset about getting a detention after what that b... er, I mean Professor said to me, so I had a long talk with God. I didn't feel the detention was warrented and asked for a sign if I was right and should not attend it. I got my sign so I did not attend."
Professor Snape looked as if he was going to explode.
"Miss Granger," he yelled "God may not contradict any professor's orders. You WILL serve that detention this evening and one tomorrow. Oh yes, Miss Granger, a Saturday detention, for neglecting to attend your first one. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir. But I must protest. Isn't that religious discrimination, sir?" she said obviously oblivious to Professor Snape's anger.
"Miss Granger," he said in that quiet, deadly voice. "I would suggest you stop talking NOW!"
Hermione nodded her head and looked at the floor and in a moment he said he would see her this evening and she had better not be late and stalked away.
"Mione, I'm beginning to think you have a death wish," Harry said.
"Yeah Min, as funny as it was he's really mad. I'm glad now you sit with Pansy and Millicent in Potions," Ron said with a shudder.
"Well thanks for that show of support guys," she laughed. "Don't worry he'll get over it."
"If you say so. But I still don't expect Potions to be pleasant today. Not that it's ever pleasant but you know what I mean."
As Ron predicted, Potions was far from pleasant. Professor Snape was on a warpath and no one was immune. Unfortunately it was Friday which was double Potions, so they had several hours he could torture them in. Points were being deducted for breathing and the littlest thing had him biting everyones heads off. They finished the potion they had started and he had assigned an essay to be turned in before the end of the class. Hermione turned hers in first, as usual and went back to sit in her seat, keeping an on Professor Snape as he picked it up to go over it. When he did he looked up and looked at her and she flashed him her brightest smile. He looked back down at her essay and then up at her again, still smiling, and burst out laughing, shocking the class to its toes.
"Miss Granger," he said, laughter still in his voice. "Get over it, is not an appropriate title for any essay. Please retitle this if you wish a grade on it."
Hermione walked up to his desk and scratched out the title and retitled it to the correct title. He gave her a smile and whispered, "I still expect to see you in detention this evening."
"Yes sir. I'll be there," she said smiling back.
After she had sat back down he told the class that as soon as they handed in their assignments they were free to go as long as they stayed out of trouble before their next class.
"I don't know how you do it Mione," Ron said to her after they left class.
"Do what Ron?"
"You make him madder than anything, then turn in an essay that would get the rest of us killed and he laughs."
"Believe it or not Ron he does have a sense of humor."
"Yeah well if one of us were to do that, we'd be dead," Harry agreed.
"Well then boys, I suggest you don't do anything like that," Mione said with a smile.
*~*~*~
The day went by rather quickly with an interesting Transfigurations class and Care of Magical Creatures class. She was still in a good mood when she got to her detention, even though she didn't feel as if she should have a detention, much less cleaning cauldrens for what she said to that old fraud.
"I'm so glad you decided to grace me with your presence tonight Miss Granger," Severus drawled.
"Well I didn't really have a choice, did I?"
"No not really. You may get to the cauldrons, and I do believe you might use magic tonight," he said before going back to his office.
When Mione finished with all the cauldrons she stolled into Severus's office and sat down waiting for him to finish marking papers. He didn't even bother to look up and acknowledge her presence until he had finished as usual. When he was finally done he piled them up neatly, rubbed his head, and went to his cabinet and took out a potion to drink.
"Rough day today Severus?"
"I swear they get more incompetent every year. I had three cauldrons melt in classes today, not to mention one dunderhead added a wrong ingredient and had to be sent to the hospital wing after testing his potion." he said sighing.
"Well if you want to go rest rather than talking tonight it's alright."
"No, that's ok," he said. "I've actually been looking forward to some intelligent conversation."
"Come on now, Severus wasn't there a staff meeting tonight? Don't tell me the other professors don't offer intelligent conversation," she said with a laugh.
"Ok make that intelligent and interesting conversation," he said with a small smile, causing Mione to laugh.
"I know what you mean. I love my friends but Quidditch just isn't the be-all-end-all of my existense."
"Miss Granger," he gasped in mock shock. "I believe that may be sacreligious."
"Oh no, not you too."
"Well I was on my house Quidditch team in my day," he said.
"Really? Now that I'd like to see," she said giggling.
"I'll have to dig out one of my old yearbooks then. There's several pictures of the teams and of games."
"Cool."
"How was your day today, Mione?"
"Not too bad. Though I must say Potions was awful. We had this evil Professor in there today. Man, what a drag," she said with a wicked glint in her eye, glancing at him under her lashes to try and gauge his reaction.
"Hmmm, and here I was just thinking about evil students who disobey said Professors," he said with a smirk.
"Ok you win. I bow to the master of Snark!"
"So how has Transfigurations been going? I know you were excited about studying Animagi. Have you found what animal you will be yet?"
"Why yes I have."
"Well what is it?"
"I'm not going to tell you Severus. I'm going to wait until I can show you," Mione said with a grin.
"Fine be that way then."
They continued to talk until curfew and then he escorted her back up to her dormitory and left her with a "Goodnight Mione."
