Omission Ups the Creepiness Factor

A/N: This is another version of the first chapter, with Snape's dialogue omitted. You have to admit, it lends a whole other view of what happens. I did this as an experiment to see what made the first version work. Perception of what's happening definitely changes without the clarification and omission changes the entire atmosphere.

***************************

Fourteen year old Hermione Granger lay asleep in her bed on her back, in her cotton nightgown. She breathed deeply, dreaming of today’s coup in Potions, when she was the only pupil in either Gryffindor or Slytherin to have answered Professor Snape’s question concerning the dipsas, a small brown snake in India . . . and what rare potion its venom was used in. It was a very uncommon potion, and Hermione had broken into the Restricted Section to find the answer, and even then . . . she had to stay there for hours in the middle of the night to find it in a little utilized tome.

Now she lay dreaming of the dark wizard actually giving her points and a small, very small smirk of approval . . . and what’s more, a “Well done, Miss Granger.”

No one had heard words like that issue from the dark wizard’s mouth in years, if at all. To the other students it was just Hermione showing off that big brain of hers, but Professor Snape knew she had practically turned the magical world upside down to find that answer.

In the semi-darkness of the room, a whispered spell sounded, and the breathing of all four girls deepened significantly. From out of the shadows emerged Severus Snape, tall, gaunt and severe as he glided toward Hermione’s bed. He stopped by her bedside and looked down on her covetously, his dark eyes drifting up her young body and resting on her face.

He touched her cheek softly with his thin, pale fingers. The dark wizard’s eyes glittered as he touched her bushy hair.

Hermione sighed and shifted in her sleep, the wizard stepping back into the shadows for a moment, then returning to her side.

He stared down at Hermione, longing in those cold dark eyes.

Hermione sighed again, turning to face him now.

The wizard turned and exited the room, murmuring "finite" and melting into the darkness like a wraith.

Hermione Granger’s eyes opened slowly, and she looked into the darkness, seeking the shadow that moved beyond the shadow, wrapping her arms around her young body and staring through the night.

THE END

A/A/N: Brrrrr.
