Brave or Stupid?
Chapter Two – Brave or Stupid?
Before she entered the great hall for breakfast the next day, Hermione had been prepared for the Ron’s scathing glares. What she had not been prepared for was the absolute lack of them. However, even though Ron didn’t spare her a passing glance, everyone else had seemed to take up the challenge and they were all throwing daggers at her with their eyes. Ginny had taken Ron’s side, no doubt due to a spirited over exaggeration of Hermione’s allusions to their mother, as had Harry.
Hermione was determined to find someone who thought she was in the right and turned to Neville, but after a vicious elbow to the ribs from Ginny, even he decided to jump on the bandwagon and give her his best sneer. Hermione was furious. True, she had been in rows with her friends before, and true, Neville’s sneer was about as frightening as his toad, but didn’t anyone see that she had done what she thought was best for her?
Deciding that there was no hope for reconciliation anytime soon, and not relishing an awkward silence in the common room all day, Hermione headed for the one place that a misunderstood bookworm could find solace, the library.
She turned her attentions to the task she had been working on for some weeks now. Ever since she had decided to apprentice with Professor Snape she had been researching his work. What she found had surprised her. She had expected to find lots of dark potions, poisons and the like, but she found none of these in his published works. This absence may have been explained away by his reluctance to let anyone know about these shady pastimes if it weren’t for the massive amount of legitimate, and actually quite brilliant potions he had both created and theorized about. Between his cure for the nasty side-effects of being bitten by a leprechaun, (the person bitten shrunk to about three feet high and turned a bright green for a year) to his proposition for a potion which would lessen or prevent the effects of an unforgiveable, the man would have been hard pressed to find the time to brew anything harmful. When she had mentioned this to Ron and Harry, of course, they had conspiratorially responded with, “That’s what he wants us to think” and the subject had been dropped.
Hermione couldn’t understand how they could still resent the man after all he had done for them during the battle last year (which had lead to the fact that even though they were all over seventeen now, they were back at Hogwarts along with many other would be graduates to catch up on what they had missed while the world was in turmoil.) and there had been an unspoken consensus that there would be no badmouthing of the War-Hero that was Severus Snape in front of the Girl-Who-Could-Hex-Your-Ears-Off-Without-Much-Thought known as Hermione Granger.
So it was that when the above mentioned War-Hero entered the library this annoyingly sunny afternoon he was confronted with the nearly as annoying and much more unwelcome sight of the Ear-Hexer in question.
Seeing her chance, and being true to her Gryffindor sentiments of never letting a good moment go to waste, Hermione did something that would have frightened a lesser student out of their skin. (cough, cough, Neville) She, voluntarily, walked up to Severus Snape and, completely of her own free will, asked him for a favor.

A/N – DUM DUM DUM!!!!!
Thanks for waiting so long in between chapters guys… I had this whole story outlined and then I looked at it for too long and decided that it was just like every other HG/SS story out there. So I have decided to add a few things and subtract a few things and generally just make a huge mess out of the imaginary math problem that I apparently just made this story into.
Sorry for the sarcastic humor… it is just the way I write when I am enjoying myself. I don’t intend to make the characters talk differently or anything but there is nothing wrong with a smart-ass narrator is there?
Please review, I check frequently and grin wildly when I am rewarded with sweet little blurbs of other peoples’ opinions on how much I rock… I mean… what they thought of my story… yeah that’s it.
