Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling does! I do however own my made up character, Dark.
Another disclaimer: I wrote the story based on a lits I found somewhere on the internet. I did NOT write the list: 101 ways to annoy Snape.
( Author's note: This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic. I started it a while ago, and decided to put it online. I have a made up character, and I'm trying not to make her a Mary-Sue. Please read this and bear with me!...Also, about Dark, that's just a name that I usually use on RP's ans stuff. As for her last name, Smith, it's just a common last name.)
Dakota Smith pulled the dark brown hair out of her lilac eyes with one of her hands. She had never really liked being in Gryffindor house before. For most of her school career, she had wished she was in Ravenclaw. It was only last year that she made some real Gryffindor friends. Quite a few too. It wasn't the best reason to be acquainted to people either, but that's what's funny about fate... if you believe in such a thing.
Dakota, or Dark as she preferred to be called, met her new friends because of the re-appearance of Voldemort. You see, Dark's father worked for the American wizarding government. He was sort of like an ambassador to the British ministry of magic. Luckily for Dark, this got her into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, instead of Salem School of Sorcery, in Salem. Even though Dark was from Salem Massachusetts, where there was a big wizarding community, she always wanted to go to Hogwarts. She was glad that Professor Dumbledore was so kind to let her.
At the moment, Dark was packing her school trunk. She couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts for her seventh year. She wanted to get out of Grimuald Place so badly. She didn't hate Grimuald Place, that was where she met her friends when her parents joined the Order of the Phoenix. The thing was, it was too boring there. Especially now that Sirius was gone. Dark and Sirius had gotten along very well. Thinking about him was still a little painful, so she tried to avoid it. It was a very difficult thing to do, since she was in his house. That was why she was glad to have friends there. True, they were a bit younger than she, well, Fred and George weren't, but they were nice to her, and that was all that mattered.
So, Dark sifted through her piles of junk, deciding on what to pack. School clothes, Spell books, potions ingredients and cauldron, jeans, lots of jeans! T-shirts, comic books, manga books, and not to forget, her collection of sketchbooks. She had used so many, that she had to label what years they were used in. She only packed the recent ones and the one she was currently using, though.
While packing, Dark was lost in thought. Her last year at Hogwarts. She had kept her toes in line for six years. ( Well, she never got caught for anything, that is.) She really wanted her seventh year to be something to remember. As if it were on que, the solution to her problem was solved. She found the perfect way to go out with a bang. It was the list that she wrote with Fred, George, and Sirius ( he helped just a bit) last summer. A list titled, " 101 Ways To Annoy Snape"
"Perfect" She said to herself. It wasn't that she had much against Snape. She was very skilled in potion making, to tell the truth. She was just sick of him treating her like less of a person just because she was in Gryffindor. It wasn't like she wanted to be in that house in the first place.
Dark finished packing her things and ventured to the kitchen. It was near dinner time, anyways. When she got there Mrs. Weasley was almost done cooking dinner. Dark helped her by setting the table. She figured it should get done before Tonks got there.
After dinner, Dark went upstairs with her friends, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny. They all thought that the list was a great idea, even Hermione, and that was saying something. They spent their trip on the Hogwarts Express laughing about all the possibilities. Dark decided to wait a while before starting the pranks. She didn't want to bring up suspicions too early.
