"Kagome…..Kagome!"
"What? Yes, what do you need?" The dark-haired girl now known as Kagome answers as she snapped out of her musing.
Giggling Hermione looks across the breakfast table to the other girl. "What can have your attention so strongly on the first day of classes?"
"Yeah even Hermione isn't freaking out about class yet. Come on its your second year you can have some fun you know. We only have one more year left." Ron speaks with his mouth full, but after her transfer her during their fifth year she has stopped correcting him and just ignored it.
"Your right I just have a lot on my mind with everything going on over the summer, and the Ministry putting everything out as rumors. And bad mouthing Harry on top of that, just ridiculous. Where is Harry anyway?" looking around as she asked.
Just then the great hall doors swung open as Harry came in with a very agitated looking Professor Severus Snape behind him. He leads Harry to his seat and continues walking by not sparing the flustered Gryffindor another glance. Kagome just watched as the Professor walked past, no one noticing the way their eyes locked as he continued to the main table.
Turning Hermione looks at Harry, "What did you do to make Snape so angry?"
"Nothing I was walking back to the tower when I turned the corner he was just there. He seemed to be looking at something in one of the paintings, and get this he was smiling, not like his evil smirk but an actual smile."
"Really!? I didn't think he had emotions. I thought he was just always angry." Ron gets a thoughtful emotion across his face before he goes back to eating.
"Don't be silly Ronald everyone has emotions."
"Yea some people are just better at hiding them." Kagome says with a shrug. "What picture was he looking at anyway?"
Tilting his head trying to remember Harry answers, "The one with the moon and stars that changes with the moon cycle."
"It's the lunar phases Harry. But hey isn't that the same picture you stare at all the time Kagome?" Hermione now turns to look at her friend directly.
"Yes it is." Kagome smiles, "I love that picture it reminds me of the past."
"Well mate I think you should get a new favorite picture. Otherwise you and Snape see eye to eye on something and that's just creepy." Ron shudders at the thought of anyone being like the Slytherin professor.
Rolling her eyes Kagome goes back to quietly eating her food. All the while thinking of what the professor could be thinking of at her favorite picture. A few minutes later Hermione broke the silence that had come over the group.
"Kagome?" she questioned waiting for the other girl to look at her. "I was woken up early this morning to a sound and I saw you walking in the room. You weren't sneaking around were you? You know that if you get caught you would be in big trouble, Right."
Looking around nervously Kagome tried to think of a valid reason. "Well I was trying to not let anyone find out about it but." Looking at the group of friends that were now completely focused on her. She continues, "You see this summer my mother told me that I started … sleepwalking. Yea I just picked it up one day; my mom told me that it was something my father used to do when he was nervous about something. He even went so far as to get dressed and drive to work one day before he woke up. So all I remember is going to sleep than waking up in the common room in one of the chairs dressed fully in my uniform."
Her friends all looked at her and she thought for a moment that they wouldn't buy it. "That can be really dangerous you know, you could trip down the stairs or get caught wandering around by a professor. What do you have to be nervous about anyway?"
"I don't know I can't think of anything to make me nervous, I just haven't been sleeping well lately." Another lie just flowed right out.
"You should speak to Madam Pomfrey and see if she can give you anything for it. Oh look there she goes now."
"Your right Hermione I will go ask." Kagome says as she gets up and follows the older women out of the hall.
After explaining the situation Madam Pomfrey exclaims that she doesn't have anything to give her and that she should ask Professor Snape about it. Seeing the look on the girls face she tells her that he isn't all bad and being a professor he should try to help his students. Thanking the women Kagome turns around and goes back to her seat beside her friends.
"What did she say? Will she help you?" Hermione immediately starts drilling her for answers.
Shaking her head, "She said there is nothing she can do and that I should ask Professor Snape for a potion to help."
Snorting Harry and Ron both say, "Good luck with that."
"I will look for something in the library and see if I can't help you in some way. But until then we should head for class." Nodding all of them got up and followed the star student to their first class.
I hope you all liked it, you know what to do now.
