Hermione walked over to her bed and sat down cross-legged on the silk duvet.

She looked at the red box in front of her, and slowly undid the red bow around it. Opening the little card on top, it read "Enjoy".

As she expected inside the box was a selection of chocolates. But not just any chocolates. Mood enhancing chocolates for every occasion.

Why would Snape give me chocolates? Oh of course…the room changing again…wow I really love this room…it can sense exactly how I'm feeling…

Browsing through the collection she chose the chocolate entitled Warm Comfort.

It tasted sweet. Very sweet. A combination of exotic fruits encased in chocolate. Instantly Hermione felt a slight warmth inside, and slowly it spread throughout her body.

The perfect pick me up, she thought.

Next to the box of chocolates, was a plain purple velvet covered book.

She picked up the book undoing the cover hastily, and flicking through the book.

That's so strange. Why would the room give me an empty an empty book?

Hermione lay back on the bed and threw the book to the end of the bed.

But something caught her eye.

Sitting bolt back upright again, she was right she had seen something. There beside the book was a piece of paper. She opened it curiously and read…

To the owner of this thought diary.

This diary is for you to write your thoughts in. But be careful, it may not always contain the answers you wish for…

How peculiar….

Opening the velvety folds of the diary, Hermione grabbed her quill for her beside.

What do I write? Ive never had a dairy before?

Hello

Hello

Oh my god it talks!! Well say something…

My name is Hermione Granger

I know.

Oh…how?

I know a lot of things Hermione

Oh…

Something you wish to say?

Well yes. What is it this dairy does exactly?

I can allow you to express you deepest, darkest thoughts and secrets. I can give you advice if you so wish. You may ask me a question about anything I cannot lie, but you may not always like the answer. What I am is completely up to you…

Oh…

I sense something is troubling you…how did you come across my diary?

I think my room brought you here. Im not quite sure. All I know is you were laying here on my bed when I came in.

I see… you still didn't answer my first question

Which was that?

Is there something troubling you?

Well not really. Im stuck here for the whole summer, with a man who hates my guts. I have deat…well lets jus say I was placed here for my supposed protection, and it doesn't seem any safer with the likes of some of the people who traipse through here. I have to put on a front for other people, and I just feel like ive lost myself somewhere along the line…

He doesn't hate you…maybe both of you are making the situation more awkward and tensioned than need be. Have you tried talking to him?

Well I have tried to on occasions…hang on how do you know he doesn't hate me?

I told you before I know a lot of things. What is your view on this man?

Ive always respected him. He's always challenged my abilities…he's the only one to really challenge me mentally…and I've always respected him for his position as a spy…oh chit I shouldn't have said that…

There's no need to worry about it, I cannot repeat any of this to anyone. Your secrets are safe with me.

Oh… that's good to know…well yes I've always respected him for his work. I know hes always been so snarky to me, but I just always thought it was because he had to be. Now I'm here I know hes always like it…I feel like im living in a prison.

It seems maybe you feel a little more than respect for this man?

Hermione felt a blush in her cheeks rising

I see…

What you can see me as well?

Not exactly… I am magically enhanced to be able to sense emotions within people. Maybe you should be honest with this man and how you feel…

Oh no I couldn't do that. I mean he would never….and I never…I don't like him in that way.

If you're sure about that... The butterflies I am feeling are telling me otherwise. Well think on it Hermione…goodnight.

Good night.

Severus was pleased he had placed the spying charm on the dairy. It proved to be a very interesting read. And who knew that Hermione Granger was capable of using such crude language….

Sorry it's a short chapter, but I promise to let on a little more in the next chapter. Hope you liked it! Please review to tell me what you thought!
