Hermione rushed down the staircases towards the grounds in search of Harry. She then realized Harry was not there and thought of going straight to the great hall for lunch. It was already lunch time. Heading off straight to the hall, she stopped right at the entrance and took deep breaths. She was out of breath from moving so fast that she didn’t want to make an entrance into the hall like having run a hundred miles.

She opened the doors and headed off to her usual seat and waited for Harry to come.

The students gathered in the hall slowly and the noise increased. Hermione had now filled her plate and had started to eat when she saw Harry and Ron entering through the door. Her face brightened up but not for long as Ron was not looking very pleasantly at her.

“Hey ‘Mione,” Harry said and sat down next to her before starting to fill his plate. Ron just glared and sat in the front of her and began devouring his food. Hermione looked up at him nervously not knowing what to say before turning to Harry.

“Harry! I think Draco is up to something.” Hermione said in a low whisper.
“What did he do?” Harry asked, his face going red with anger. Hermione looked around to see if any one else was trying to listen to their conversation and told everything that Draco had told her. She didn’t say anything about Snape to him.

“What? Do you think he knows about the headquarters?” Harry asked shocked.

“I don’t know Harry, but he definitely knows that we were in hiding. Well we were not hiding exactly. We were imprisoned to be exact. But someone had been searching for you or us and was not able to find us. I’m not sure though. But I’m sure that who ever would have been searching for us, the Malfoys definitely had something to do with it.” Hermione said. “And I’m sure Dumbledore knew about this already. That’s why he had called me to come and stay with you at the headquarters.”

Suddenly Ron stood up from his chair causing it to slide noisily backwards and cast a hateful look at Hermione and walked out of the hall. Hermione was speechless, but just looked at him leave. She would talk to him later when he was alone. She didn’t want to make a scene calling out to him. Ron was a real pain sometimes.

“Ron’s mad after what happened in the morning I guess” Harry said after Ron had gone.

“Yeah I think so. He gave me quite a scare though.” She replied playing with the food on her plate. Harry shook his head. Ron was interested in Hermione in more than a friendly way. The fact that Hermione didn’t tell Ron anything but had continued to talk to Harry must have driven him over the edge. Ron definitely didn’t like to be ignored.

Looking back at Hermione, Harry continued. “Hermione be careful. Knowing Draco, he’s such an ass. Who knows what sick plan he is up to right now? He’s probably trying to bait you or something.”

“You’re right Harry” she said with a sigh. “I hope I don’t meet him on my way to Professor Snape’s office. I will surely hex him the next time.”

Harry was taken by surprise. “Snape’s office? What for?” He asked in shock.

“I have detention with him tonight at 8 o'clock. He saw me pointing my wand at Draco’s throat.” She replied.

“That greasy git. I bet Draco didn’t get any punishment!” Harry stated.

Hermione looked up at him and smiled.

“Actually he does” she said and watched Harry’s mouth fall open. Hermione giggled. “He has lost fifty points and got a detention from me.” She said grinning before getting up to go to her room. Harry grinned back at her before getting up and leaving the hall with her. It was definitely good that Hermione was the head girl.

He wondered what Neville was doing with his Head boy position.

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

Snape had been looking at Hermione from the teacher’s table till she left. The girl really had some courage. Apart from that Potter, she was the only one who had the courage to talk back to him or even glare at him.

He smirked.

During their exchange in the corridor he had subtly looked into her mind and had seen the entire scene. Draco had certainly let off too much to the witch. It wouldn’t take long for Hermione to figure everything out. She wasn’t a know-it-all for nothing.

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

Voldemort had now taken a new approach to kill Harry. He wanted Harry’s close friends dead. Right now he wanted Hermione dead. He had come to know it was because of her that Harry was able to come out so successfully. She was an asset to Harry’s life. She had helped him with the Sorceror’s stone, identified the chamber of secret’s entrance and also had helped him save Sirius. Voldemort was sure Harry would be as good as dead if Hermione was out of the way.

When Voldemort had announced that he wanted Hermione dead, Lucius had come forward and stated he would personally kill her. But Snape had told Dumbledore this news and actions had been taken immediately to secure the young witch. Lucius’ search had ended all in vain and Voldemort had crucio’d Lucius to the brink of death.

But Snape had been taken by surprise after that. Voldemort was aware that Snape knew the location of the Order headquarters due to his status as a spy. Voldemort had immediately told him to get rid of Hermione in whatever way was possible.

When news had reached Dumbledore, he had in turn told Snape to do whatever it would take to save Hermione.

After that, every time he saw Hermione in the headquarters, he couldn’t stop from glaring at her for making his life a living hell. As if it was not hell already. He enjoyed the way she blanched when he looked. He was a death eater after all. He rejoiced in seeing other people fear him, especially when the said ‘other people’ was a sidekick of that idiot Potter.

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

Snape still sat staring at the doorway through which Hermione had left. Damn. He was in an impasse now. He couldn’t kill her and he couldn’t save her. Not that he minded Hermione dead. He would dance a jig over her dead body for all the trouble she had given him in class for the past six years. But he had to keep her alive because of Dumbledore.

After all the glaring at Hermione during the holidays, he hadn't failed to notice how Hermione had developed into a beautiful young girl. Even if small made, she looked very curvy and delicious. She was of age now too. So there wouldn’t be any problem if he fucked her. And Dumbledore would definitely not interfere. Not after giving him full responsibility of the witch. He wouldn’t mind anything at all as long as Hermione was kept alive.

She had detention with him tonight. Good. Things were definitely shaping out for him now. Snape’s smirked broadened. He wouldn’t mind having a feel of her pussy stretched around his cock. He was saving her life after all. He deserved to have at least a good fucking from her. He wondered if she was a virgin. If she was, it would be even better.

Snape stood at this thought and made his way out of the hall with a very evil smirk etched on his face. Gods, he could hardly wait till detention.
