The Other Spy

Chapter Four

Return to Hogwarts

The great hall was filed with the inhabitance of the castle. The students turned to the great golden doors and watched frightened first years follow the deputy headmistress, Professor McGonagall. She stopped and turned to the students.

"Were we ever that bloody small?" Ron whispered as they watched them being sorted.

"You were never that small, mate." Harry whispered with a laughed.

Hermione rolled her eyes at her two best friends but Harry was right. The red head was never small. Now the boys towered over her. Ron was nearly 6'3. Harry wasn't too far behind at 6'1. She wasn't short or too tall. The witch stood at 5'6. She guest it wasn't that bad.

Hermione was snapped out of her thoughts when the food appeared on the table. She was wrapped up in her thoughts that she had missed the headmaster's speech. The witch shrugged it off it was the same every year anyway. So why bother.

She quietly fixed her plate listening to her two best friends talk about quidditch. It wasn't her sport, but tried to speak up every once in awhile. She only smiled at 'her boys' as she liked to call them, in a way they were. She would keep them out of trouble. Well, at lest try too.

Severus sat at the high table watching the Gryffindor table with one witch in mind. The boy that lived to aggravate him best friend to his appearance, Hermione Granger.

'She's not that bad to look at. She's gotten her bushy hair under control. Her figure as formed greatly. Hermione Granger has just formed into a beautiful woman. I do have to give her credit there.

She's smart, funny andgreat at potion brewing. The best I've seen in years. She joined Voldemort's ranks to protect her love ones.

Hermione's bright brown eyes have deemed. I guess from killing her own parents. I know she wakes up screaming at night. I've heard her more than once.' (He used special silencing charm to keep an eye on the witch. (For your FYI)

The Potions Master was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Minerva say his name.

"Yes?"

"I asked you what has drawn your attention to the Gryffindor table."

"Nothing," he snapped at witch.

"Severus I ask you to be kind to the young lady. She's just lost her parents in a car crash." Albus informed him. "She's taken it rather hard."

The wizard smirked to his self. The plan that Hermione's idea for the death of parents worked greatly. The headmaster had no clue what truly happened to John and Jane Granger.

"I'll do my best headmaster."

The wizard nodded and turned to Minerva and watched the Potions Master closely with interest.

The fest ended and the students left the great hall to retire to their towers.

"I can't believe you agreed to work with the bat!" Ron said to Hermione as they walked through the portrait hole.

"Professor Snape needs my help. Anyway you know I want to get my masters in potions."

Harry wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulders. "Just promise me you turn into a female version of Snape."

Hermione laughed and said good night.

"She's one brave soul." said the red head.

"She's my hero." said the dark messy head wizard and brushed away a fake tear.

They went to the dorm for the night.

Hermione laid down on her bed with her potions book. She had already read it twice, but she wanted to be ready for class. She smirked, oh how she loved to anger her potions professor. The witch turned the page when her dark mark began to burn. She swore under her breath.

Hermione grabbed her death eater's mask and robes. She snuck out of the Gryffindor tower. She was just grateful that it was past 1:00 in the morning.

The witch turned down the corridor and ran into the something hard. She landed on the stone floor.

"Lumos," slick voice whispered. The wizard looked down. "Miss Granger what are doing out so late?"

"I'm sorry Professor Snape, but I'm being summoned." Hermione answered as she gripped her left arm.

Severus quickly helped her up off the floor. "Come along. I'll walk you to the gates."

"Thank you sir."

The wizard only nodded and they stepped out into the summer air. The spy wondered why only the young woman was being called alone. Severus looked over at the witch. He saw her eyes grow cold. He had to admit that they made him shutter. He opened the gate. They stepped out of the grounds of the school.

"I'll wait for you here."

Hermione nodded and was gone with a faint pop.
