The Twin

Detention

Y/N POV

I was up all night. I tried to make myself tired. I did exercise, I brushed my hair, I read the same, long book, along with all my other books for my subjects.Twice! I just couldn't sleep. After a while of staring at the ceiling, I turned to my clock one last time. It was 4:30. I had checked the time 18 minutes ago. I sighed and sat up. I wished to be Hermione, sleeping soundly, not being awake. 

I got up and took a shower, even though I had done it a while ago. I brushed my hair again, along with my teeth. I changed into my robes and sat down on my bed, reading a potions book for the 3rd time that morning. Once I was finished, I sat at my desk. I was bored, yes, but I wasn't going to wake 'Mione. She looked so peaceful, and it was really early in the morning. I took out a piece of parchment and my pen. I started writing.

Dear Snape,

I know it's weird to be writing a letter to you, especially the early in the morning. If you're awake, I was wondering if I could get to your class early. It is extremely boring sitting in my dorm without having Hermione awake. I read through all my books for each subject multiple times throughout the night. If you see this, can you let me know if I can come to your class to practice some more potions? That's all. Thanks for reading this.

I felt a little weird sending this letter to Snape. It was far too early but I just couldn't help it. I didn't have anything to do in my dorm, and I wanted to study some potions. I watched O/N fly away. It was only  5:57. I sighed as I stood up from my desk and walked over to sit on my bed. I picked up my wand and my charms book. I had already read through the book, but I hadn't practiced the actual charms. 

A while after casting many, many charms, O/N flew in with a letter. I got up and took the parchment. It looks like Snape responded.

Ms. Potter,

You are more than welcome to come to my classroom to study some potions. I commend you for taking this time to red through your books for each of your subjects. If you decided to start walking to the class, make sure you don't get caught by Professor Filch, as he isn't fond of students out of bed early or late. I will set up your cauldron.

-Severus Snape

Yes! I finally have something to do other than read or shower. I picked up my school bag and walked down the stairs to the common room. I stopped for a minute. Should I leave Hermione a note? Well I don't think she would care where I am, so I kept walking. The hallways were dead silent. You could hear a pin drop from the other side of the castle. 

I made it to the dungeons without being caught by Filch, and knocked on the door to my potions classroom.

"You may enter." I heard. I opened the door to see Snape sitting at his desk and my cauldron set up at one of the tables.

"Hello Professor. Thank you for letting me come practice, even though its quite early."

"Yes, it is early, but I find it admirable that you wish to focus on studies, even at this time. I have set up your cauldron and you may find whatever ingredients you need." I nodded my head and walked over to the table. I took out my potions textbook and flipped through the pages. When I found the one I wanted, I got up and walked over to the closet, where all the ingredients were. I grabbed the ones needed and walked back over to my desk.

"May I ask, what were you doing up so early in the morning?" He asked.

"Oh- um, I hadn't gone to bed at all, actually. I just had a random burst of energy and couldn't sleep. I have been up all night and still don't feel tired." I explained.
