"FASCINATING THE BAT" (+18) *Severus Snape.

CHAPTER 19 🦇

When Hermione wakes up, she sees Ginny standing by the bed with a piece of parchment in her hands very focused on her reading and wrapped in a towel with clear signs of having bathed, but Snape is nowhere to be seen.

_"He told us that he might see us later...ah!...and He seal the door with a spell...the key word is..."cave"...."_ She extends the note with some anger on her face as soon as she discovers that She is watching her.

She takes it and just rereads it over it before discarding it on the nightstand by the bed.

_ "Is that all the note says? .... I thought it would say something else! .... But hey .... at least he didn't kick us out last night and let us sleep here ...." _ she seeks to calm the agitated spirits of her friend.

_"Yes... it could always be worse... but... I would have loved to open my eyes and see him lying down... not find that he left us alone... and on top of that write a note saying how to get out of here ....as if asking us between the lines to leave.....I know it's Snape.....But after last night.....how can someone be fire and ice at the same time?.. .."_

_"I already told you Ginny...it's not a good idea to get excited about him...it's just sex and nothing else...understand...or you'll suffer in vain..."_

Hermione gets up to go get her robe because she already thought it was time to go back to her rooms. She would take a shower there and since there was no plan to spend the day, perhaps she would take the opportunity to get things done, since she had no hope of coming across the bat throughout the day. Not even if he himself had suggested it and even though deep down She also wanted to see it.

Both friends pick up their robes and cautiously leave Snape's quarters, leaving the place in complete disarray, as neither of them had thought it necessary to visit him with her wands.

It wasn't the one they had in mind to use yesterday.

So he would have to take care of the cleaning. And if only he wouldn't bother with them.

Although they did not know what time it was, luck was on their side as the castle looked empty and completely silent, so there was no hindrance or delay in reaching the bedroom. Once there, while Hermione was taking a shower and Ginny finished dressing, it was the latter who thought they could visit Hogsmeade and have a girls' day out. And for a moment put the iceberg-turned-man that was Severus out of their minds.

Hermione reluctantly agrees, but she believed it was necessary to clear Ginny's thoughts regarding everything that transpired with the potionist.

They dress simply and take their small wallets, wands and go to their destination. They will have breakfast and lunch in the small village to make the most of the walk.

Hogsmeade is already well trafficked by witches and wizards by the time they arrive, because apparently everyone agreed that today was an ideal day for shopping.

They first enter the tea house of "Madame Pudipie" to have a light breakfast, because for a while they could know that it was already 10 am. After that, they visit several stores such as "Scribbulus writing accessories" for parchments and new inks, and of course they also made purchases at "Honeydukes". Their sweets are a must for every Howgarts student.

When the appetite begins to get strong, they decide to go for a delicious lunch at Madame Rosmerta's place in "the three brooms", which is not only famous for its butter beer, but also for its exquisite menu.

They are both walking down the streetcentral laughing when they see in the distance the undisputed figure of the owner of their most lustful dreams.

They stop suddenly to make sure they aren't wrong, but it was definitely him.
