The three scheming Gryffindors had gone over every aspect of the plan in depth that night, before they retired to their beds. After filling them in on the plan, even Ronald Weasley, who usually gulped at the idea of crossing their Potions Master, reverently replied, \"Blood brilliant!\"
They had roughly 2 hours between dinner and Harry\'s occulumency lesson with Professor Snape at 8 p.m. that night. It was cutting it close, but there wouldn\'t be another opportunity for another week. Hermione Granger, despite not having told her two best friends, had been deeply unsettled by the news they overheard at Grimmuld Place and was not about to let this uncertainty go on for another week.
The plan was simple. Hermione would leave dinner early that night and make her way to the Potion Master\'s classroom. There she would retrieve precisely two dragon scales from her teacher\'s private storeroom. It was a rare ingredient. But she was certain the accomplished Potions Master would keep some in his stores. He had to. It was the integral part of the plan.
If all went as planned, she would have the scales in her possession before dinner had even ended. But, she needed Ron to distract the man for another full half hour. During that time, she would brew an Infurious Potion in the Potions Classroom. The night before, the three had weighed the other option, brewing it somewhere else in the school, carefully. They, or rather, Hermione, had decided there simply would not be enough time to go elsewhere, brew the potion, and return back to the duns tns to lace the Professor\'s FireWhiskey with it. Besides, if anyone could accomplish it in the allotted time, it was Hermione Granger. She was probably the only student with experience breaking into Snape\'s storeroom.
She felt they were taking a chance that he would indeed decide on a drink before the Occlumency lesson. But, he was sure to know, more than anyone, that one must be calm when casting Occlumens and Legimens spells. Further, nothing in the world caused Severous Snape to seethe like being in the same room as Harry Potter. Hermione was counting on it.
He would drink the potion and it would begin to take effect just as the lesson began. Severous would be an easy target for Harry, despite not having practiced all summer. He will have slipped out of his own anger, and Harry would simply be a competent Occlumency student and do what he was supposed to in turn. Snape would be none the wiser that the trio had gained the information they had been seeking the entire time.
Just one hour and one Legimens later, Harry would relate to her exactly what he had seen in the Professor\'s mind. She would know precisely who the Dark Lord was planning to attack, and if she was lucky, she mused, how and where it would take place as well.
