All Is Fair In Love and War
Fred and Anna sent scowls to each other from across the Hospital Wing. The two Hogwarts students sat there wondering how they could get back at one another for the pranks being pulled. Just last week Anna and Fred had declared a prank war against each other. Knowing it would be a challenge both Fred and Anna decided to start off small in hopes of ending the war with a big BANG. Neither of them thought they would end up in the hospital wing together suffering from their pranks.
"This is all her fault," thought Fred, "If she hadn't sent me that letter with the boiling pus inside I wouldn't be here right now with my hands all bandaged up." He winced as he tried moving his hands but quickly gave up on the idea. A lock of Weasley red hair fell over his eyes and he tried to shake his head around but it proved useless.
"This is all his fault," Anna thought, "If he hadn't sent an owl to drop itching powder all over me I could back at the dungeons with Elle, Blaise, and Draco. But no, I have to sit in itching myself to death for Merlin's sake. She had to let her long brown hair down as her head would not stop itching thanks to Fred.
"You two; you think because you're role models for the younger students you would stop playing these horrible pranks on each other," said Madame Pomfrey who then muttered a spell to stop Anna's itching. "I swear, I've seen more of you two than I have of Harry Potter, and that's saying something. I'll write you two a pass but I was told that you are to report to Professor McGonagall's office for your punishment."
"But Madame Pomfrey, I'm in Slytherin, shouldn't I be seeing Professor Snape?" asked Anna gratefully relieved of her itching. She wasn't too happy about having to be punished but it was all in a day's work for a prankster.
"He's there. Now off you go. By the way, Mr. Weasley, you hands should start to heal soon. I'd give it about a week give or take," said Madame Pomfrey handing Anna the pass considering Fred's current disability. The walk started off awkwardly; walking briskly and staring straight ahead, they both started to dread the punishment they were going to get from McGonagall and Snape. While they were walking to McGonagall's office, Anna decided to strike a conversation, considering both she and Fred avoided each other at all costs.
"You brought this upon yourself you know," Anna said.
"I? Brought this upon myself? I find that very hard to believe," said Fred in disbelief at what she just said.
"Well you did; if you hadn't started bragging that you were the best prankster in all of Hogwarts I wouldn't have had to knock you off, as the muggle's say, "your high horse". So if you think about it, you brought this upon yourself," Anna said opening the door that led to he Professor McGonagall's office, glad to have had the last word for now. Before Fred could respond Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted their conversation.
"Mr. Weasley and Miss Zabini, front and forward," said Professor McGonagall sternly, "I would think that now that you're in your 7th year, Mr. Weasley, you would end these pranks," said Professor McGonagall.
"But-," Fred started but was cut off by her trademark glare.
"As for you Miss Zabini, I would think you could've thought of something more creative," said Snape with a twinkle in his eye which was followed by a cough from Professor McGonagall, "but since you broke a rule I am forced to take, oh I don't know, how about 5 points from Slytherin and assign you one detention with me."
Fred's mouth dropped as he heard what Anna was to do and boy was outraged! 5 points and one detention! He knew already that he wasn't going to get off lightly with McGonagall.
"Although Miss Zabini was punished lightly, I have no tolerance for pranks from students in my house," Professor McGonagall stated, "and you are no exception. You will serve out a week's detention with me and 20 points will be taken from the Gryffindor house."
Fred stared at McGonagall in disbelief. 20 points! One week of detention! And all Anna got was one day and 5 points! This was ridiculous.
"But since you will not be able to write for one week as Madame Pomphey informed me," continued Professor McGonagall, "Miss Zabini will write your notes for you until further notice and, if Professor Snape doesn't mind, be your Potions partner too," she said glancing at Snape.
"Not at all, maybe Miss Zabini will be able to teach Mr.Weasley how a real potion is brewed," said Snape smiling.
"Than it is settled; go back to you dorms and I don't expect to see you two again. Do I make myself clear?" said Professor McGonagall.
As soon as the two were in the hallway Fred looked at Anna mystified.
"How is it that you get away with a slap on the wrist?" Fred asked.
"What are you talking about? I have to write your notes and work with you in Potions for one week!" Anna said then looking as if deep in thought, "Draco's not going to like that. Not one bit."
"Oh yes, Draco your prat boyfriend. If you don't mind me saying, I think you could do better," said Fred.
"Please, coming from you," said Anna rolling her eyes.
"Well in that case, you both deserve each other. How cute: the ferret and the snake," said Fred spitefully.
For what seemed like ten minutes, Fred and Anna glared at each other and then went their separate ways with a "humph" from Anna and a "hump" from Fred.
Author's Note: I promise Draco will be in the next chapter! And for those reading, the Fred/Anna fluffiness won't come till later...lots of things still need to happen! Please review! Remember: the more good reviews the faster I'll update!
