First years were sorted and the students looked to the Headmaster who took his place at the winged podium.

"Welcome all once again to another year at Hogwarts." Voice booming out as he clapped his hands.

The students politely clapped and Albus raised his hand for silence. "Before the first announcements of term no doubt you've noticed new faces gracing the Head table. First I am pleased to introduce our new Quidditch advisor Mr. Potter. He will be assisting the Qudditch teams."

Loud cheers rebounded in the hall despite the fact that Slytherin table remained silent.

Albus raised his hand again and the hall became silent. "And welcome Potions Mistress Hermione Granger who is our newest apprentice to Transfiguration."

Once again the Hall sounded out with cheers and the Slytherin table remained silent.

Severus tuned out the rambling of the Headmaster and observed his House. The old prejudices did not go away despite the fact that he took points from his House when they were caught. He dealt with the complaints from his snakes at his sudden change in how he handled them. He merely took more points when they complained and added a detention and sent them out of his office telling them that they needed to work on their Slytherin traits as they were not caught. Soon the snakes learned that if they were not caught their Head of House had no problems with whatever they got into.

Severus was pulled away from his musing at the words "Eat Up!" He watched Albus sit down and whispered to the professor's next to him to pass the word down that he wanted the Heads and new staff to meet him at his office after dinner.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione and Harry walked along the halls answering the welcoming greeting from students as they passed. Suddenly a young Slytherin student ran past them and turned the corner.

Harry stopped. "I bet we have a welcoming committee from the Slytherins just ahead Hermione. I think a shield charm is in order."

"I believe you're right Harry." She chuckled pulling her wand out and pointed to her and performed the charm. "Shall we?"

They turned the corner and found themselves alone with a group of older Slytherin students pointing their wands to them.

"Look Mr. Potter Slytherin house is welcoming us to Hogwarts." Hermione spoke in a cheery voice.

"Hardly Mudblood. We're here to encourage you to resign. We welcome Mr. Potter but you are not acceptable." One student snarled out.

"We are considered staff and I believe you are breaking the rules concerning me." Hermione spoke out voice no longer light but with one tinged with steel.

"Hardly since you will be leaving us." The student spoke back. "Get her!"

Hermione watched the hexes bounce off her shield and back to the attackers. She watched them drop their wands as they fell to the floor moaning in pain.

Harry picked up the discarded wands handing them to her and looked to the writhing group. "We could heal them and leave them to wake up on their own Hermione."

Hermione placed the wands in her pocket and pointed her wand to the group. "Let's do it then."

They put the students to right and left them unconscious and completed their trek to the Headmaster's office noticing that everyone was waiting on them.

Harry spoke in embarrassment. "Sorry Headmaster. We felt a bit of nostalgia as we walked here."

Severus looked to the wizard and snorted. Potter was never good at lying and knew that something detained him and most likely involved his students. It would be the only reason they were delayed as the other Houses welcomed them. He waited to see if it would come out during the meeting.

Albus clapped his hand. "I can certainly understand that and no need to be embarrassed my boy." Clapping Harry's back. "I called everyone here to reveal the true purpose of Harry and Hermione's presence here."

The assembled Heads looked to the Headmaster as her continued. "After the vote I'm sure you have figured it out. Professor Snape and Apprentice Granger are researching a cure for lycanthropy and it concerns Harry. They are exempt from patrol duty considering their status. I find that I must curtail Professor Snape's involvement in that as well and it will mean double duty to all of you."

Albus sat back pleased that all of his Heads agreed except one.

"Headmaster it will be noticed if I did not attend to patrol. My presence would be missed." Severus flatly stated.

"I know Severus so you will have a floating patrol. You will walk the halls but not as often so you can pursue your research."

Severus merely nodded.

"Heads brief your prefects and I will hunt down the Head Boy and Girl and tell them of their duties. Questions?"

Albus looked to the group pleased and dismissed them

Severus watched Hermione closely as the Headmaster closed the meeting. He knew something was up and met them at the bottom of the stairs.

"I know my House detained you. Speak up!" He demanded.

Hermione spoke. "Nothing happened Severus. They merely had a chat with me suggesting that I apprentice elsewhere." Thankful that she had spent enough time close to him as his eyes bored intently into hers.

"Very well then Hermione. All of us need to meet at your lab so that we can draw blood and begin. 11 pm as I have patrol tonight. We have the weekend free and then school begins on Monday."

Harry watched the man leave dark robes billowing behind him. "Hermione I thought that you would spill it. How did you not break away from his stare?"

Hermione smirked. "I told you we've been spending a lot of time together. Don't think that he will drop it as I did not act Gryffindor and turn the snakes in. He will observe his House and will probably figure it out because I am not turning in the wands and that will force his students to come to him. That's the easiest scenario but they may find a way to address me directly. I plan on making it hard for them as I do not plan to leave my lab this weekend.

"That's brilliant Hermione. They can't get replacement wands as they have to go to Ollivander or go to you or Professor Snape. I wonder who they'll choose."

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Everyone met at her lab as arranged and Severus watched Hermione draw some blood from Harry and placed it under the microscope. There was very little presence of the abnormal cells.

Hermione motioned them over to a small room that she created that contained a cot, three chairs and a writing desk.

Severus sat and listenedd to her questions of eating habits and mental state, writing his answers down to parchment. Her final question was how much he weighed.

Severus looked to the young man he once hated with a passion. "Leave now Potter. I need to talk to Hermione in private."

Harry looked to him for a moment and saw no malice in his obsidian eyes. "See ya in our quarters whenever you decide to show up." Making a hasty retreat from his ex-professor and left Hermione alone.

"I've spent an interesting evening with my House Hermione. I noticed a group of 7th years huddled together in the common room. I think that involves you and Potter."

Hermione laughed as she gathered him into her arms. "I'm sure that it does and I am not going to tell you. If things go as plan you are going to have to deal with some very humble students come Monday."

He ran his long fingers through her brushy hair and kissed her deeply, feeling her melt into him and responded back. He broke the kiss and whispered. "I'm surprised that you did not run to Albus Hermione. Gryfindors do exactly that. And I know the reason that they confronted you. That particular group is strong in blood purity. They addressed yours."

"Don't put a damper on the moment Severus." Pushing him to sit on the cot and sat on his lap. "I've missed you Severus Snape." Rubbing his back through the thick black cloak.

He wrapped his arm around her waist. "I warned you that I would be busy but I have missed you as well. You are a mystery Hermione. You have Slytherin traits." They moved slowly and enjoyed being together and started the tentative first steps of something that promised to be more.

"Hardly Severus. I just like to solve problems on my own."

"Which is a Slytherin trait." He responded. "Your House would gather a group."

She changed the subject. "We have Harry's weight. We need to practice the charm until it causes the object to barely float. Let's go to your lab as we will need to brew."

He allowed her to pull him up. "You know that this isn't over. You intrigue me with your problem."

They walked in silence to his labs and opened the door and allowed her enter. "It will take 21 days to brew the lacewing flies. That should give you enough time to master this." Pointing his wand to the floor and a large stone block appeared. "150 pounds the equivalent of Potter. You need to practice." Leaving her to prepare the first stage of the potion.

She eyed the stone. Pointing her wand she focused her intent and strongly incanted. "Wingardium Leviosa." The stone floated immediately into the air with no hesitation. She eyed the floating stone and thought of how quickly the stone floated breaking her concentration and she watched it fall to the floor and break in half.

Severus appeared at the door to the lab and looked to her smirking. "For once intent is not the main focus, but less is the key. You have 21 days to perfect it." She turned to him distracted and the stone fell to the floor and broke in half.

He smirked and pointed his wand to the stone and made it whole before going back into his lab.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

The weekend went by and true to her word she remained in her lab working with Harry's blood. Sverus would stop by from time to time between his preperations for the first classes and to deliver werewolf blood promised by Kingsley to use as a check.

They compared the two samples and noted they were the same, few abnormal heavy cells floating among healthy blood cells.

She also took advantage when not working with blood and Apparated to Severus's quarters to practice her charm on the stone with little success.

"Gah I can't force myself to cast with less intent. It's not normal for me." She moaned out in frustration.

Severus stood up from his chair. "Nonsense Hermione and I'll prove it to you. You remember when Potter sliced Draco with Sectumsempera? And you know that is a nasty hex of my creation. Cast it against me."

"No Severus. I can't do it."

"Well Granger I see that you are weak and pathetic after all."

She pointed her wand at him and casted the hex and watched the red light shoot out and strike him. She remembered Harry's description of blood pouring out of Draco

Severus fell down and Hermione rushed to him expecting to see blood gush from him. She felt him push her away and then pointed to the gash on his robes. "Intent Hermione. You see the result." Pointing his wand to repair the slash in his robes.

"Take off your outer robes Severus. I can't believe that it is ripped clothing. Show me!" She cried out not believing that he was not harmed.

He removed his outer robes and let them drop to the floor. "See I am unharmed because you lacked the intent required to caste it."

"I couldn't hurt you Severus because I care for you." Rushing over to examine her colleague and finding him unharmed.

"No harm Hermione because I know you do not have intent with nasty hexes such as that. Think about it." Pulling out his time piece noticing the time and looked into her brown eyes. "The first day of term begins in five hours and I think that we have done enough for the weekend and well on our way."

She looked to him for a moment and then Apparated to her common room. Bloody man knew her too well.

She lit the scones and saw Harry pull away from Draco and noticed their half dressed state. "Merlin Harry. You have a room you know."

"Erm, Lord Malfoy wanted to make sure that I was no danger to the school." Harry stuttered out embarrassed. "No one except the Headmaster can Aparate in Hogwarts except…"

"For those that he makes exceptions for Harry." Hermione smugly replied back. "See you at breakfast and try not to keep him up Lord Malfoy."

The two wizards watched her go into her room. Draco turned to him. "Just how much sleep do you need Harry?"

Harry chuckled and pulled his lover towards his room.

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Hermione and Harry were seated at the very end of the head table as they were not tenured. Harry watched the Sytherin table and noticed the group of 7th years huddled together in discussion looking to the Head Table from time to time. "You still have their wands Hermione?" He whispered.

Hermione chuckled. "Of course Harry. The only time I have been out of my rooms was after curfew."

I wonder what they will do? Not having a wand will not go un-noticed." Harry whispered to her.

The owls swooped in to deliver the morning mail and a house owl landed in front of her with a letter in beak.

Severus paused noticing the owl that was assigned to Slytherin for those that did not have an owl. He finished his coffee and toast and observed Hermione's reaction to the letter.

"Just drop it there." Hermione told the bird and handed it a piece of bacon and watched it fly off.

She pulled out her wand and checked it to make sure there was nothing nasty residing within it. "Seems safe enough Harry."

Harry watched Hermione read the letter and then gave a slight nod towards Slytherin and begin to eat.

Severus did not miss the subtle nod she gave his House and stood up to leave, giving his colleagues a curt nod as he left without a word.

There was 15 minutes left to breakfast and Hermione nudged Harry and they both left the Great Hall. They walked the empty passage as Hermione explained the letter that she received. "Keep your wand handy in case they have a different plan."

They entered the unused classroom close to the stairs leading down to the dungeons and waited. Soon the ten students came in and sat down at the tables as their leader remained standing to speak for them.

"Apprentice Granger we wish to apologize for our behavior Friday. We should not have attacked you."

Hermione looked to the students not seeing any remorse. "Your apology isn't really heartfelt but the fact that you are here counters it. I know you are wondering why you were not called up to the Headmaster or your Head of House. I have your wands and it would trace back to all of you. I take care of my own problems and I promise you that I was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class for a reason. I do not know your names and I care not to and know the only reason you are here is to avoid Professor Snape finding out you not having a wand from other professors. You are safe the first class as it is potions and not needed. But your second class is Defense and it would be noticed."

She watched the spokesman for the group nod.

"So what are you going to do?" Waiting for a response and received none. Hermione placed the ten wands on the table beside her. "Classes begin in five minutes. In twenty I will allow you your wands with the promise that you will treat me as staff and stop the foolish attacks."

One student spoke out with a slight edge of fear in her voice. "We will be late for Potions and that is bad."

Harry laughed and melted out of the shadows. "I know that Slytherin because I attended his class. Hermione could have easily gone to the Headmaster and you would have been expelled. I suggest you take her offer."

She watched the group nod in agreement and conjured up an hourglass to mark down the time. "Slytherin you know that there is price for your actions and hope that you learn from it."

HGSSHGSSHGSS

Severus noticed that his entire 7th year Slytherin students were missing from his class, pointing his wand to the board and a 6th year potion appeared on the chalkboard. "An easy potion for you as I know it was covered last year. Get to it and prove that that you are not the dunderheads I know you to be."

He sat at his desk and watched the Gryffindors jump up to gather the ingreidiants to brew. She was clever and the meeting with his 7th year snakes proved it. He pulled a blank parchment and scribbled a note to her and put it into an envelope. He had no patrol and she was exempt. It was time to find out exactly what Hermione Granger wanted from him.

He felt no remorse at spying on her as he followed her Disillusioned to the meeting and watched her take his Snakes well in hand. He felt the pang of humiliation waft out in the unused classroom.

Just then the door opened and his snakes entered heads bowed down.

"So nice of you to join us today Slytherin. Care to tell me why you are fifteen minutes late?" He snarled out.

He watched the group sit down not saying a word and looked to him, resignation apparent on their face.

"No excuse? It makes me wonder what you have been up to. Twenty points from each and a detention with Filch for two days. I am disappointed that your actions put our House into the red on the first day. I shall be having a chat with you after dinner. Now get to your brew and be thankful that you have enough time to finish it to prevent you being late to your next class."

Severus looked forward to the end of the day in anticipation, tapping his finger to the parchment he wrote and watched his students brew.
