Chapter 4. Men Are More Comfortable With Imperfection and Weakness, It�s Less Threatening.

Hermione waited outside the Dinning Hall for Harry before breakfast the next day. She had awoken early and headed to the library to read up a bit on history of the time she was stuck in, the good thing was not much had changed in the Wizarding World, and as long as she did not let anything slip about anyone�s future, no matter how bleak, she should get along just fine. "Harry, however," Hermione worried "needed to be prodded just a bit more." She didn�t need him interfering with the outcome of anything. She spotted him on the bottom of the stairs heading her way with James and Sirius.

"All right, �Mione?" Harry asked cheerfully.

"All right. I need to talk to you for a second." She said trying hard not to glare at him outright.

Harry waved Sirius and James on before stepping in closer to Hermione.

"How did last night go?" She asked carefully.

"Fine, great actually. We�re having loads of fun." His smile beamed at her.

"Yes, well, about that. It might be better if you spent less time with them right now. We need to be very careful." Her voice strained under the heavy topic. She could see Harry�s smile falling and his eyes flared for a moment.

"Less time?" He questioned loudly, "What do you want me to do, sit hold up in my room, slink around in shadows? You don�t think I deserve just a little bit of happiness after everything?" He was shouting loudly now and people were starting to look to them curiously.

"Harry, you know that�s not what I meant. Stop biting my head off! We need to keep a low profile. We need to work together to set things right and proper for our time. We can�t mess with anything right now, and I don�t think you really understand that." She said strongly.

"I understand, perfectly. It�s not as if I�m spouting off about how no one should trust Peter or what�s on the NEWTS." Harry whispered testily.

"It�s not even that, Harry. You can�t interfere with anyone. Look, what would happen if you asked James to go play Quidditch with you, but at that very time Lily, your mother," Hermione whispered even quieter, " was to ask James at that same moment to the Library, it could affect everything, just that little question about Quidditch could possibly affect if you would ever be born." She finished heatedly.

Harry stared at her angrily before deflating a bit and answering, " A compromise then, I make no effort to instigate anything. No conversations, no outings, nothing? I take a back seat to this but still keep them near me." He seemed to be pleading with her.

She sighed, "All right, but you have to be really careful," she said before turning around and heading into the Great Hall for breakfast. She took a seat next to Severus who seemed to be eating little and already reading through a textbook.

"Good morning," she said quietly.

Severus looked up quickly from his book, as if he hadn�t expected her to speak to him. " Good morning," he whispered, before turning back towards his book.

She was just buttering her toast when Slughorn came around with the schedules.

"Miss Granger, it�s nice to meet you. I should have introduced myself last night," said Slughorn shaking her hand.

"Good Morning, Professor." She tried biting the inside of her cheek to keep from shaking. Poor Slughorn, he had fought bravely. She shook her head so as to focus on what he was saying.

"I see you�re taking Advanced Potions. It will be wonderful to have you in my class this morning."

"Yes, sir." Slughorn smiled before briefly glancing at Severus.

"Severus, studying already?" Some of the warmth seemed to drain from Slughorn�s voice.

"Correct, sir. I had hoped to start a personal side project this year, with your permission or course. It really should be a fascinating�." Severus seemed to be looking just left of Slughorn�s shoulder.

To Hermione, this Snape seemed very� she couldn�t quite put her finger on it, but he just seemed so downtrodden.

"We�ll have to discuss it later, Severus. I�ve just spotted Derrick Spokes I must thank him for the doxy powder his father sent." And with that, he hurried away leaving Snape, in mid sentence.

Severus looked to Hermione quickly seeing if she was going to make some sort of comment. He swallowed visibly. "He�s very well connected, the Professor."

Hermione shook her head. "Yes, I find that all rather rude people, are well connected."

Severus raised his eyebrows before a small smirk tugged at his lips.
