Chapter one: Getting Caught

11/30/97

Hermione Granger was reading again. Like she is never doing that! But what makes this significant is the fact that she was reading about time holes, in the restricted section of the library.

Around nine or so, she borrowed Harry's Cloak and snuck out of Gryffindor tower and immediately headed down to the library.

To this day, she has never been caught. But there's a first time for everything.

About half way though the book, a black tabby walked up to her. Not really thinking she shooed it away.

But the cat wasn't Mrs. Norris.

"Ms. Granger! Out past curfew and in the restricted section of the library!"

Hermione froze she knew that voice. Slowly turning around and looking up she saw Professor McGonagall looming over her.

"I am surprised Ms. Granger! You of all people! Come with me." and she turned on heal.

Thinking quickly, Hermione grabbed the invisibility cloak and stashed it someplace she could get to tomorrow in broad daylight, as she followed her head of house to where ever she was going.

"I do hope you read what you needed to, Ms. Granger, and I hope it was worth it." Hermione thought back to the chapters she read, and indeed thought that any punishment was worth getting to read that.

"It was worth it professor." McGonagall looked back at this.

"What may I ask were you reading, I didn't get a good look."

"Space holes and other rips in time and space." She recited.

"Oh, a fascinating book, I must say, what chapter?"

"Thirty two, professor."

"Pity, Thirty three was quite inspiring." She shook her head, and Hermione had to worry. Normally when one was in trouble with the deputy headmistress, you got a long period of 'I'm so ashamed' silence. Hermione was getting a nice conversation.

"Ah, here we are." And she looked up at a poster of a raven. Hermione just noticed that they had made their way down into the dungeons. "Now Ms. Granger, I believe you wont have any need to go into the restricted section of the library anymore, at least at night time." And she turned to the painting. "Ivy." And it opened to reveal a long passage way.

McGonagall walked down it, and Hermione followed.

"Minerva! Can't I get any rest around here?" a deep voice slurred in an annoyed way.

"Sorry, Severus, however, I need you to look after Ms. Ganger here." And she gestured towards the shocked girl, whom she spoke to next. "You'll be serving a months worth of detentions, Ms. Granger, with Professor Snape. Starting tomorrow, good night. I Leave you to discuss the times." And she left.

"Well, well, well. What would the perfect Ms. Granger do to get a Months worth of detentions with me?" Hermione finally noticed, that he wasn't wearing his usual robes; in fact, he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, muggle clothes.

"Apparently, getting caught after hours in the restricted section of the library, by your head of house." She said simply.

"Why would you get caught?" he smirked. "I do believe you have been in there millions of times, why get caught."

"I was too rapped up in a book professor, to notice that Professor McGonagall was the cat, Not Mrs. Norris."

"I see." He drawled. "Well, Ms. Granger, I expect you to be in my class room every night for the next month at eight pm. Understood?"

"Yes, professor."

"Now head up to your tower, and don't get caught, or points will be deducted. You will kindly notify anyone who wishes to give you detention that they should remove points instead. Good Night Ms. Granger." And Hermione left.

When she got back to the Tower, not getting caught, luckily, Harry and Ron was there, worried.

"Hermione!" they rushed up to her, acting the part of the protective friends. "I'm fine you two, just tired, I have detention but don't worry."

"If you say so." And she went up to bed.

"I wonder, who she has detention with, and for how long." Ron asked.

"I hope it's not Snape." Harry added, and Ron agreed, then they too, went to bed.
