The Gray Nightshirt, part five

Tiny little update today. Sorry.

Also sorry for the x-posting spam.

Part one
Part two
Part three
Part four

Weasley took a deep breath, obviously trying to quell his own rising anger. “Fine. Be a stubborn git. But if Hermione dies because you wouldn’t even talk with me, I’ll blame you.”

“And if you are withholding information, you will be her murderer.”

Anger flashed in Weasley’s eyes. “I am not you, Snape.”

Snape felt hatred surge again, but the image of Hermione lying on his bed came to mind, and all the energy drained out of him.

“Is there a point to this?”

“You said in there that you’d seen her sleepwalking for ten weeks.” Weasley paused and grew a bit red in the face, but carried on. “About ten weeks ago, maybe a little more, she went shopping for, erm, that is to say, she, erm, wanted our first time to be perfect.”

Severus grimaced, hoping the boy had a point.

“Please tell me there is a point to this reminiscence, Weasley.”

Weasley went even redder. “Hermione is saving up for y-you-knee-varsity, and so she went to the second hand shop.”

“Let me guess,” Severus interrupted, “she bought that grey nightshirt, which belonged to some dark wizard who had cursed it in some manner.”

“No, that’s the thing. She bought a beautiful black lacy thing that was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Severus tried not to picture Hermione wearing something sexy. “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because… in that room, in your bed, that’s what I saw her wearing.”

Aha! How interesting.

I wonder what Dumbledore and Minerva saw!

Whoa, whoa, what?! *goes back to look at Dumbledore's comment about what Hermione's wearing* I notice they don't identify it as a nightshirt before Severus does, so maybe his perception is guiding them. What did they see?
