40_mixed for prompt #T.01 (bad day). This part is set during Hermione’s Seventh Year and it is Half-Blood Prince compliant.
To say that Hermione Granger’s day was a bad one was a gross understatement. Her day had started out as a normal day for her with her concern over her NEWTS and her duties as Head Girl at Hogwarts. Things had taken a turn for the worse when Minerva McCongall, Hogwarts’ new Head Mistress, had given her a special task. The Head Mistress’ task for Hermione was an important one that could change the outcome of the war between the Dark Lord and the rest of the wizarding world. Since the Trio had been forbidden to track down the Horcruxes, Hermione was unable to turn down the request.
From that meeting, her day had progressed from one state of trouble to the next. She had had a nasty encounter with Pansy Parkinson who had taunted her, and then Ron and Harry had spent precious time complaining about their false imprisonment at Hogwarts rather than studying. Hermione sometimes felt as if she was the only Seventh Year who was concerned about her NEWTS. Neither Ron nor Harry was willing to accept the wisdom behind the Order’s decision to keep the three of them safe at Hogwarts. They refused to see that if two Horcruxes could almost destroy Albus Dumbledore, one of the greatest wizards of all time, then the remaining ones would probably destroy them. Just this once, Hermione accepted the wisdom in letting her elders research and destroy the Horcruxes. Yet the boys refused to accept the fact that the three of them had been relatively lucky in the past. They had survived only because of luck, talent, reflexes and her book knowledge. They were nowhere near the level of skill to take on the Dark Lord, much less to take on his Horcruxes. So although the boys were unwilling to accept the decision of their elders, Hermione had been grateful for it.
However Harry and Ron were constantly nagging at her to change her position and to help them escape so that Harry could fulfill his destiny. And when they went on like that, Hermione couldn’t help but wonder if Professor Snape’s evaluation of Harry was more correct than it had been wrong. It seemed to her that Harry had become more concerned with destroying his perceived enemies, including Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy, than he was in destroying the Dark Lord. He had taken his fame to heart and he had started to believe that he was invincible since he had met the Dark Lord numerous times and lived to tell the story. Yet Hermione wasn’t so sure that he was invincible, she had seen the moments of weakness in Harry and she had held him when he had trembled with fear at his past encounters. Still she was unable to talk sense into the boys and continually their arguments tired her out.
By the time that she had reached Professor Snape’s private chambers for the first time, it was just after midnight. Through the use of Harry’s cloak and the careful manipulation of a time turner, Hermione had made it to her destination undetected. She felt like she was invading her Professor’s privacy, even though there was no way that he could return to Hogwarts under the current circumstances. Still she knew that no matter the noble reason for her being there, Professor Snape would severely punish her if he had been a position to catch her.
She used the passwords that the Head Mistress had provided her with and she walked into the private chambers of the most feared professor in all of Hogwarts’ history. And she found herself surprised by what she found. If someone had asked her what she thought Professor Snape’s chambers were like she would guessed that they would have been Spartan and severe. Instead she found a comfortable study done in muted colours with several bookshelves that had her salivating. It took quite a bit of willpower for her to resist the bookshelves. What she needed at that precise moment was his private laboratory and not his bookshelf. As she crossed the threshold from stuffy to laboratory, Hermione sighed before she started working. She was still surprised that she had been given the task of completing Professor Dumbledore’s research into the potion that could change everything into the Order’s favour.
