Chapter 1 Once Upon a Tail
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters.
A/N: I now have a beta for this story evenstar. I thank her for help and ideas.
Idea: To give Severus Snape a rat's tail when he was not looking.
It was the first of September at Hogwarts. The students will be arriving that night for the beginning of the year feast. Hermione Snape will be teaching along with her husband this year. She is replacing Headmistress McGonagall as Transfiguration teacher.
Hermione decided to make this year an interesting one for Severus Snape. She was planning a prank war on him. Before they got married her, students, and other teachers had pulled pranks on him. Hermione was a student at the time. Snape did not like what was happening at that time. So Snape also pulled some pranks on the students, and teachers in retaliation. Hermione figured that her husband would pull pranks back at her. It was going to be an interesting year for both of them.
Hermione decided she was going to pull a prank at the feast. The spell she would be using is one that she found in a book called 'Pranks for All' by George and Fred Weasley.
Snape came to the feast dressed as he was always in black. Hermione followed wearing purple robes. When Snape sat down Hermione said the spell silently aiming her wand at his backside. A long gray tail appeared on his behind.
Some of the teachers saw what had happened. They looked at Hermione with a surprised look on their faces. No one said anything to Snape. Snape noticed the strange looks that Hermione was receiving from some of the other teachers. He could not figure out what was going on.
It was at the end of the feast that Snape noticed that some of the teachers were snickering at him. Then he realized that something was going on. He looked behind himself and saw that he had a rat's tail on his behind.
He turned angrily to Hermione and asked, "Why is there a rat's tail on my behind?"
Hermione then told him, "It is only a prank, and it will disappear in a couple of hours Severus. I am declaring a prank war on you."
Snape was very angry at his wife for doing this to him. He undid the tail that Hermione had put on him. He would have to retaliate, but it will not be nice at all, but be very messy. Snape was going to have some fun with this. He thought about some pranks he could pull on Hermione.
Snape went their quarters to confront his wife about the prank. Hermione noticed that her husband was not in a good mood. He was pretending to be mad at her. She was a little bit scared of what he might do to her. Snape went to his wife and did something unexpected. He started to laugh at his wife's reaction. Hermione felt a little bit uncomfortable right now. She was not expecting him to laugh at the prank. Maybe it was a good reaction. Snape then picked her up, and kicked the bedroom door open. Then he put her on the bed, and he had his way with her. Hermione could no longer remember what had happened.
This is the beginning of the prank war between Hermione Snape and Severus Snape.
A/N: The spell that was used 'Rata Rabo' Rat Tail.
