-=Ms. Rowling owes Harry Potter, etc, etc...Not me=-

AN/ I appreciate the reviews here's the chapter I had planned on posting Thursday. I apologize for not sending individual responses. However I put that time to use in writing new chapters. This is going to be a fun year at Hogwarts.

Cheap Thrills

Stiff Refusal

She put the Troublemaker's Stone in her jeans pocket.

The door banged open and slammed shut.

"Ms. Granger, your behaviour..." In his dangerously quiet tone, "put the stone back, now."

"Sir, I have no intention of laying my hand on it. None." Her wand at the ready.

"That's a dangerous magical object. Stand, Ms. Granger."

"You wouldn't!"

"I'm capable of many things." Sneering. "Where?"

"No way."

Conjuring a glove he put his hand inside her cloak, accessing her pockets. Twitching her wand, the glove vanished. "You thought I wouldn't Ms. Granger. Your thighs are very firm." He ripped his hand away. No glove. "Damn you woman!"

Laughing herself silly. "I wonder what's been said, since I had it last."

Snape eyed her dubiously. "Explain."

"Sir, it forces you to reveal, but also retains a record. Useful for interrogations. There should be at least four records. I'm dying to see it work. I'll be going now, Sir. Work to do."

"Petrificus Totalus." Gently lowering her to the floor. "Good show, Hermione." The gloved hand extracted the stone.

Looking mournful. "You're brilliant, you know." Finite Incantatem.
