Damn Poppy to hell. Making me stay up all damn night brewing potions for her. All because the chosen one was in the hospital wing after a broom accident. I was done brewing at 4:48 am and dropped the crate of potions off by 5:20. Except now breakfast starts in an hour. So I have to "teach" these dunderheads on no sleep.

-After lunch-
Finally my last class of the day. It was Gryffindor and Ravenclaw 7th years. Word had spread that the dungeon bat was is a very bad mood today. "Today just read your textbook." That's all I said then began marking quiz's for earlier that week. "Sir what page?" Asked the little know-it-all. "Just read it, I don't care what page. Now enough talking!" She looked taken back. "Yes professor." I definitely was in a bad mood. "Detention! Tonight at 9!" She shut her mouth after that and didn't even look up from the textbook.

It was dinner time. I had alittle bit of mashed potatoes and left going back to grading papers so I can have an early night. I was grading papers has soon as the clock hit 8:55 there was a knock on my door. I sighed. "Come in!" I saw Ms.Granger walk in and immediately remembered the detention. I inwardly groaned. "Sit." She looked at the floor and sat in her desk infront of mine. "You will go sort my ingredients closet. Once done you may leave. No magic! And don't bother me!" She nodded and quickly disappeared.

I was now done with the first stack and when I started on the second pile of papers I saw the time was 10:45. I look down and slowly closed my eyes and brought my head down. Yawning.
No don't.... sleep.

I was finally done sorting the ingredients and walked out of the closet into the classroom I went to collect my bag that I brought thinking I would have to do lines. I walked to the door. "I'm done with the closet, goodnight professor." I turned the doorknob and opened it alittle bit. But when I didn't hear a grunt in reply or even a quill scratching I looked at him and saw his head on his desk. I walked up to him and the closer I got I heard very slight and quiet snoring. Its kinda cute...WHAT? Where'd that come from?! Anyhoo...

The poor man was probably exhausted all day..that explains his mood. I felt bad and he definitely didn't look comfortable. I grabbed my wand from my bag and summoned a pillow in my hand. I walked closer and very slowly began lifting his head to push the pillow underneath. Moving the stack of papers and ink. I move back quickly as he moved his head alittle and moved his arms to be around the pillow like he was hugging it.

I smiled a little bit. I decided to summon a blanket as well because it was freezing in the dungeons. I just realized he wasn't in his frock. He was only wearing a white button down undershirt with the sleeves rolled up. He must've forgot I had detention. I lightly tossed the blanket on him and tucked a piece of his long black hair behind his ear.

"Goodnight professor." I said again with a smile this time. I saw the stack of papers he had to grade and put them in a side drawer along with his quill and ink. I silently walked away to my bag again and slowly opened the door closing it as quickly and quietly as I could. I happily walked back to my head girl dorm and went to bed myself.

-In the potions room-
My eyes were fuzzy as I lifted my head off the pillow and let the blanket fall down my back. That was a nice nap. Wait pillow. Wait....blanket? I looked around and checked the clock on my desk 12:28. When did I summon a pillow and blanket. Is Ms.Granger done? I slowly got up and stretched up cracking my spine. I walked to the supply closet to see a note attached to it.

Professor,
Goodmorning professor, I finished my task and left. I saw you were alittle too tired to check my work then, so if it is not up to your standard I will agree to another detention to correct it. I hope you slept well and is in a better mood today.

P.S. I'm sorry if I overstepped with the pillow and blanket but you didn't look comfortable.

Yours, H.G.

I opened the closet and saw everything was sorted perfectly and she cleaned it. Even going as far as polishing the floors. I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I smiled.

Deciding it was time to go to bed completely but then remembered I had papers on my desk which were probably messed up now because I fell asleep on the desk. I walked to my desk just to find them gone. I looked around thinking they fell down but they didn't. I looked in my desk drawers and there they were... piled neatly and with my quill and ink on top. . . .

I closed the drawer and walked away.

"Goodnight....Hermione."
