Snape patrolled the corridors late at night, he was on his way back from Dumbledores office when he heard rustling coming from an alcove. "Who is there? Show yourselves!" He sneered, lighting his wand and scanning the dark crevices. "YOU!" He spat grabbing Potter by the shirt collar, he caught a glimpse over the boys shoulder of long wavy hair and arched a brow at the young wizard in his clutches. "Granger, show yourself! I know very well that you are there."
The witch stepped out of the shadows and ordered him to release her friend, Snape did as requested and scowled at her.

"What are you doing out of bed?" He snarled at the two Gryffindor's furiously, "we were on our way back from the library sir." Harry tried to explain, "wrong floor, try again." Snape sighed, he thought that if the dunderheads were going to lie they could at least make it slightly believable.
"Fine, we were going to see Hagrid." Hermione admitted, Snape narrowed his eyes at her and grunted, "what on earth do you need from that great buffoon that is worth getting detention over Miss Granger? Pray tell, because I wish to know so... Badly." He drawled, causing Harry to pipe up. "He's not a great buffoon, but you are a greasy git."

"Well you will both be enjoying the company of said greasy git, in detention tomorrow. Don't. Be . Late." The potion master seethed. "Yes sir." The two replied in a sulk. "Now answer me what reason did you have to visit him? Perhaps you would prefer to answer Miss Granger? As Potter is obviously in a rebellious mood this evening?" Snape spoke at an eerily slow speed, it was almost entrancing.

"We wished to see if he was alright, one of his creatures died today and he was very upset." Hermione explained very matter of factly. "How charitable of you both." Snape smirked, letting out a small grunt of laughter. Hermione was fuming, how dare he ridicule someone's grief in that way, Harry squeezed her arm in a bid to make her bite her tongue, the last thing he needed was another detention.

"Back to your dormitories, and if I catch you out of bed again i will have your pathetic backsides on the first train home, I've just about had enough of you insolent brats!" Snape boomed, stroking past them with his robes swishing in his wake, and the he was lost to the darkness.

SEVERUS' POV

Sometimes I wonder why I took this job, Albus suggested I redeem myself by putting something back into the world.. Pah, I'd put something back into the world alright, Professors with whips.
In my day you would never get away with such insolence!
I'm stuck here day after day surrounded by inarticulate bumbles, the precious chosen one and his irritating 'friends'. As much as I hate the boy i just cannot bring myself to walk away from this school, I'm key to his survival. And I owe that to Lily.... Oh my perfect Lily.

All I ever hear is Minerva saying how he is just like his precious father James, I personally would take that as an insult but Potter, being the arrogant double of his sperm doner takes a great pride in it. In fact he revels in it too much in my opinion....
I couldn't bare to even look into the speccy little bastards face, his eyes... her perfect eyes.

And don't get me started on that snotty nosed little know it all! little miss eloquent!
little miss perfect, relishing in all the attention she gets from her ginger baboon of a boyfriend.
She always has an answer for everything, in fairness she is always right and exceedingly bright but that does not deter from the fact that she's an irritating twerp like the rest of them.
Even her perfectly waved tresses and her mesmerising smile do not come close to making any form of difference to my opinion of her.
No, she's still an insufferable know it all!

"Argh! That man is just... Argh!" Hermione raged back in the Gryffindor common room.
"Well there's nothing new there Herms, I don't see why you're getting so worked up about him." Harry sighed, straightening his glasses. "I'll tell you why Harry! it's because he is so rude, and obnoxious, and vile!" She spat, 'And also incredibly attractive.' She thought to herself.

"Well, we have detention and there's nothing we can do about it." Harry said sadly, "he's right 'Mione." Ron explained, trying to calm his girlfriend down. "You're right." Hermione smiled gently at Ron, she felt guilty for finding Professor Snape Attractive, especially when he has no real redeeming features. Ron was a good guy, Snape was not. She needed to remind herself of that fact.

"What do you expect he will be giving us to do during detention?" Hermione asked Harry curiously. "Probably scrubbing his toilet with our tooth brushes." He joked. Ron and Hermione couldn't help but laugh, as they wouldn't put it past the bat.
"Do you know what I want to know? He's always around Dumbledore, the old man seems to like him... but why?" Ron wondered, "maybe he knows something we don't." Hermione suggested, "Or maybe Dumbledore fancies him!" Harry added. "Well I know Dumbledore is gay, but I don't think he'd be that desperate! Snape is minging!" Ron snorted.

Hermione didn't respond to that part of the conversation, how could she? 'Actually Ronald, professor Snape is rather sexy and alluring in his own way!' She knew that would have gone down like a sack of shit. He thought it best to keep the lip zipped.

"Well, I'm gonna leave you two to it, I'm sure you have quiddich stuff to talk about!" Hermione smiled, giving Ron a quick kiss and saying goodnight. "Goodnight Herms!" Harry called out as she headed towards the girls dormitory, "Night, 'Mione." Ron added, "Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Harry grinned. Hermione glared and rolled her eyes before disappearing into her dormitory.

She put on a night shirt and jumped into bed, making herself comfortable and falling asleep quickly.
