Hey guys sorry it took me so long to post! Homecoming is this week and I've been way busy! Anyway here's the new Chapter!!
Chapter 11
Hermione, Harry and Ron were sitting around the fire place as they tried to get there mountain load of homework done. But Hermione couldn't seem to concentrate.
She stared into the fire, checking the clock every five minutes. Her Detention with Snape was at eight and she hadn't told Harry or Ron yet. She didn't know how.
"Hermione you ok?" Harry asked looking over at her taking his eyes off of his transfiguration homework.
Hermione's head snapped up.
"Oh ya I'm just having a hard time with this potion essay," she lied quickly glancing at the clock again it was five to eight, "I think I'll go in the library for some help." She said packing up her things.
"We'll come with you," Ron said getting up also.
Hermione's heart skipped a beat, "No Ron that's ok you already have enough to do here,"
"But-" Harry tried to protest.
"I'll see you guy's later," Hermione said as she rushed out the door.
Hermione walked quickly to Snape's office in case Ron or Harry tried to follow her. She hated how she had to lie to them but it was too hard to explain to them why she had to do this.
She reached the door as she knocked softly. She heard nothing she was about to knock again when she heard,
"You may enter,"
Hermione took a deep breath and stepped into his office.
The room was dark compared to when her class usually was in the morning. Snape was sitting at his desk writing something with his quill quickly.
He stayed like that for a while not even glancing up at Hermione until he finally rolled up his paper and looked up at her.
"I'm assuming Miss Granger your wondering what you're going to be doing for your detention," Snape said striding over to the window.
Hermione said nothing as she watched him.
"Come over to the window please Miss Granger," He said impatiently.
She gave him a curious look but walked over the draped covered window.
"Now here Granger is where I'm going to give you your first task," He said motioning to the door, "I want you took look out this window and tell me what you see, try to memorize each detail, I will come back in twenty minutes and when I come back I want you to tell me everything you see," He said strictly walking and grabbing a chair then coming back to her, "You might want a chair for this," He said.
He strode out toward the door.
"Wait Professor I don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking at!" Hermione said.
But it was too late as the door slammed and drowned her out.
Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed. How on earth is this supposed to help me?!
She stood there for a moment then finally gave in and went to pull the curtains back.
She looked out the window to see a truly beautiful night at Hogwarts.
The grass looked a dark green with only the moon and the stars to light up the sky. The lake was calm and peaceful as the moons reflection gave it a glow in the water. The mountains were only a dark out line on the horizon. The forest gave of an eerie fog around it as the green pine tree's stood still.
Hermione couldn't notice anything different then before. She looked hard at every detail trying to figure out was she was suppose to see. She stared as long as she could memorizing everything, how many tree's there were on the first row of the forest, how the mountains shaped in a zig zag form, how the lakes waves would wash up every seconds.
She finally backed away from the window and sat in the chair, still staring out the window. She didn't get it what was she suppose to be seeing? She had seen these things a million times, was there a big difference or was there nothing to see?
Hermione looked at the time. It had been a half hour since Snape had left.
She continued to stare out the window as she herd the door open.
Snape came in caring a small bottle of some certain green liquid.
"Alright Miss Granger did you do as I asked?" Snape said.
Hermione nodded, "Yes I did Professor," she said quietly.
Snape glared at her, "Then why do you sound unconfident,"
Hermione bowed her head in shame, "I didn't really see anything different or anything,"
Snape narrowed his eyes, "I didn't ask you Miss Granger to look for anything different, I simply wanted you to do as I asked,"
Hermione only stared at him confused.
"Did you or did you not look at every detail in the scenery?" He asked.
"Yes I did look at every detail in the scenery," She said repeating his words.
Snape nodded, "Then I want you to drink this," Snape said handing the little green filled bottle to her, "Once you have taken it I want you to look back into the window and tell me what has changed,"
Hermione took the potion carefully; she did not want to take it. Snape noticed her hesitation.
"Is there a problem?" Snape said impatiently.
"N-no professor I just…what's it for?" She asked.
"If you want me to continue helping you to control your powers I encourage you to take this potion," Snape snapped.
Hermione looked at the green bottle one more time as she poured the green slimly green liquid in her mouth.
Hermione kept her body toward Snape as she moved her head to look through the window. She didn't see anything different as she stared.
She saw something move.
Hermione's forehead creased as she turned her body to face the window and walked toward the window so close that her breath fogged up the window.
Someone was walking on the beach, but who was it? She couldn't see. She looked up toward the mountains they seemed to be formed a different shape…were those letters? D…r…a…c…o…
Hermione froze Draco.
She looked down at the person on the beach and finally figured out who it was, it was Malfoy.
What was he doing out there? And how did those mountains change there shape?!
Hermione only stared
at Malfoy's figure walking down the beach. He seemed to be walking
carelessly along the beach. He picked up a pebble and through it
into the lake. He froze and looked straight up at Hermione.
Suddenly he wasn't there anymore, the mountains had gone back
to its original shape and everything looked as it did before. Even
Malfoy's footprints that used to be in the sand left.
"Well? What did you see?" Snape asked.
Hermione snapped back into reality.
"I- I um," Hermione said trying to find words.
Snape rolled his eyes, "Miss Granger this is vital information, what did you see," Snape repeated.
Hermione took a breath.
"I…I saw Malfoy," She finally whispered.
She felt Snape's eye brows come together.
Hermione suddenly felt worried.
"Professor why did I see Malfoy when I drank that potion," Hermione said shakily.
"Because Miss Granger the potion I gave you made you see the one thing that can calm you when you get into you uncontrollable state," Snape said as he started walking to his desk.
Hermione froze once again.
"Malfoy's the one thing that can calm me?" She asked.
"It would appear so if what you told me was correct," He said putting his wand to his head, drawing out a memory. He gently put it in the pensive.
"You may go Miss Granger we will continue this again soon," He said still looking into the pensive.
Hermione wanted to ask him more questions but did as instructed as she left his class room.
What in the world just happened?
