"Oh!" Hermione shouted out, slapping her hand to her head. All the students looked around at her, puzzled at her random burst of realisation. "Forgot something from Transfiguration," she explained. Professor Snape had just rounded the corner and opened the classroom where students all started to pile in. Harry and Ron were running down the end of the corridor, just about making it on time, of course Snape would count them as late. "Made it!" Ron said, out of breath. He and Harry rushed inside the classroom with the others. "You’re late," Snape said to Harry and Ron. They knew better than to protest against Snape, given how he loved to take off points from other houses without any reason at all. Snape stood outside the door where Hermione held herself back. "Will you get inside, Miss Granger!" Snape snapped at her. "I’m very anxious to start this class and get it over with. I’ve no desire to stare down at your faces for any time that is longer than necessary." "Uh...Professor," Hermione started. "I forgot my advanced Dark Arts book in Transfiguration." "How very silly of you," Snape said. "Well, go on then, want you back in 5 minutes." "Yes, sir," Hermione said, and she rushed down the corridor but not to Transfiguration. Malfoy was not present in double Defence Against the Dark Arts which could only mean he was up on the fifth floor, trying to get into the Room of Requirement. Hermione hurried up the stairs, she only had a 5-minute window. As she was running, she bumped into something hard, knocking her to the ground. It was Malfoy. Rubbing her head, she slowly got up.
