A/N: So this is just a teeny tiny filler to get myself started again with this story. I have about 6 more chapters written but life has just been crazy and i wasn't even thinking about posting anymore of it until a friend asked me to. So all for my bestie Slytherin4Harry ;). I'll try and start posting more chapters regularly now. And if i don't, you guys keep me in line!


Chapter 4

Two months later…

The war against Voldemort had progressed to the breaking point. The Minister of Magic because of his lack of optimism for the inevitable upcoming of an all out war had been removed from office. Fudge still refused to accept the fact that an all-powerful Dark Lord had returned. While not able to ignore the fact that Tom Riddle was again at large, The, no longer, Minister simply viewed him as a not so 'large' at large minion as he had been considered seventeen years ago.

He was knocked from his high position simply by a humble ministry worker by the name of Robert Langley. The new Minister Langley had previously held place in the Foreign Relations branch of the Ministry. Being a man, secretly yet moderately, involved with the Order of the Phoenix put the side of the Light at an advantage. He had immediately placed an order for Trials of Loyalty into play which had been ongoing for the past six weeks in an attempt to de-corrupt the ministry's force.

Severus was not ever one to worry about other people, yet somehow it turned out that he had come to worry especially about the health and well-being of none other than his partner in crime, Hermione Granger.

Somehow she had made it far enough in her 'game' to survive etiquette training from Molly Weasley. It had come as a shock for Hermione when he apparated them both to the burrow, instead of some rich, fancy, stuck up snob-of-a pureblood's manor. Severus had nearly loved the look on her face. The reaction was better than he had expected.

Hermione would never again cross Molly in the ways of dining, cooking, presentation, and fashion. Molly had spent the better part of two weeks re-teaching her how to walk, talk, breathe, eat, and dress. The change was staggering at the end of her 'training.' Hermione had emerged after the first day completely irritated and astonished at the 'archaic' views of pureblood society, but had eventually surrendered to her mission rather than set up yet another protest.

After those two weeks, Hermione and a very glamoured Severus Snape had spent an amusing two days and over 3,200 Galleons on a new wardrobe for the coming spy to be. And after two months of rigorous mental, physical, magical, and emotionally controlling training, She was ready to begin delving into the unknown world of dark magic and attempting to beseech a position in the loyal circle of the most powerful dark wizard of all time.
