Saving Granger
Chapter two

Hermione put on her happy face and made her way to the Great Hall. She was good at putting on a happy face by now, it almost looked sincere. The hall was empty; she was too late for tea. She decided to make her way to the kitchens. Turning to leave she nearly bumped into Professor Snape. “Sorry Sir, I should be more careful.” she said with a small smile. With a sneer Snape replied, “Yes, you should. But I should not have snuck-up on you like that. Wait, no, that’s my job, well it’s more of a hobby actually.” His face bore a trace of a smile. Seeing he was trying to make a joke she replied dryly, “Oh it’s more of an art form the way you do it” “ Thank You, where are you off to Miss Granger?” Snape asked. Hermione replied “The kitchens actually, I missed lunch and tea.”

Snape scowled,” I see, have you finished your last class for the day?”” Yes, for the year actually, potions was my last one.” she sighed. “Then may I invite you to dine with me at Three Broomsticks to celebrate your impending graduation and no doubt an O on your potions NEWT?” Snape drawled.

Hermione decided that Snape had lost his mind. He never invited a student to do anything but detentions. Looking at the professor warily she replied” That would be lovely. Are you sure we can, students aren’t supposed to leave the grounds?”
Snape decided it was just like Granger to quote rules to a teacher,” Headmaster is aware of the plan. While you have not officially graduated yet you have completed your classes and are of age. So, yes I’m sure it’s OK this time.”

The pleasant walk into Hogsmeade was filled with talk of her potions NEWT. Snape assured her that he fully expected her to get an O. Before either one noticed it they had stopped in front of the Broomsticks. Snape opened the door and ushered her into a quiet booth.

The waitress took their order and Snape was happy to see that she ordered something healthy for her. Right after the battle people had to almost force her to eat. He was also impressed when she steered the conversation to the latest articles in Potions Monthly. Not only was she able to debate intelligently on the content, but also on the possible theory of new uses for several ingredients.

When did she grow into this mature, intelligent witch? She wasn’t the bushy haired know it all anymore. Snap out of it old boy she’s half your age and a student, he chided himself.

Soon they noticed it was getting late, nearly dusk. Agreeing to start back they left the pub and strolled back in a comfortable silence. Hermione was lost in her own thoughts of how nice it had been to spend a meal with someone who not only had table manners but spoke of something besides quidditch. She hoped to spend more time with him. Wait! Where did that come from?! She could not be thinking of spending time with the great greasy bat. Well why not? He was intelligent and witty, in his own snarky way.

As they got to the front doors Hermione turned to Snape and said “Thank you Professor that was very enjoyable. Please keep me in mind if you would like to that again some time.” Snape never got to answer because Harry and Draco chose that moment to walk up.

“. Good evening Professor. Please excuse us. We were looking for you Hermione. The party is starting in the common room.” Harry said smiling. “Of course Mr. Potter. Thank you Miss Granger, I’m sure we will speak again before graduation.” Snape drawled in his best silky voice as he left in a swirl of robes.
