Where Your Loyalties Lie

Chapter 2: Hermione
I have to do *something*. I can\'t let this go on.
Hermione Granger rubbed her eyes, then sat back and stared out the library window. She was fairly sure they were red again from her endless hours of research.
Despite all her hard work, a solution to her problem still had not presented itself, and her situation was becoming intolerable.
At first, she\'d dismissed it as a fleeting affectation that would quickly fade and allow her to once again concentrate on on her studies. To her dismay, there had been no improvement. She lay awake for hours at night, unable to think of anything else, even at home over the summer. Start of term had seen her digging into every Potions and Counterspells book she could get her hands on, certain by then that someone had pulled a nasty magical prank on her. Nothing she tried had the least effect.
I need help, she thought, blinking tiredly at the fading evening light falling across the open book before her. I need it *now*, before this gets any worse.
Sighing heavily, she closed the book and turned to stuff it into her bag, which was already filled to the bursting point. As she saw it, two options were left to her: another midnight trip to the library\'s Restricted Section underneath Harry\'s borrowed Invisibility Cloak, or a dreaded walk to the office of the one person who could conceivably help her.
Ner chr choice appealed to her. She remembered Harry\'s experience with the screaming book he\'d picked up in the Restricted Section in his first year. So far, her luck had held out, but there was still no guarantee the same thing wouldn\'t happen to her, and she had no desire to be caught by Filch and risk expulsion.
Then there was Snape. Of all the teachers at Hogwart\'s, he was the most qualified to help her. Of course, she could always go to Dumbledore, who would doubtless hear her plea, but the nature of her problem would require him to summon the Potions Master anyway.
So there it is, she thought miserably as she made her way past the other studying students. I have no choice but to go to him. He\'s the only one who can help me.
Reluctantly, she headed down the hall and began the long trek to Snape\'s office. Had things been less serious, the irony of her situation would have made her laugh - the one person who could remedy her situation was also the reason she needed help in the first place.
