A/N: So here's a little one-shot that hit me when I woke up this morning, and I simply couldn't do anything else until I did it. I thought it was worth a giggle, but a review would be nice, if you think it's funny or just dumb.

Disclaimer: Obviously all the wonderful characters and names belong to the illustrious J.K. Rowling. I could only hope to be half the author she is, but here's my humble work of fan fiction anyway.

Severus Snape was patrolling the tables in the Great Hall, watching over the joint Gryffindor/Ravenclaw study period. He rather enjoyed this task, as it gave him a chance to take points from Gryffindors and Ravenclaws (mostly Gryffindors), thus bringing his beloved Slytherin closer to the House Cup.

This lovely thought was disrupted by some quiet giggles and whispering at the Gryffindor Table. And who should be the cause of such a disturbance? None other than Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived-To-Make-Him-Insane. Oh how he loathed Potter. So much liked his father - always had to be the center of attention. Snape prowled silently towards the unsuspecting and unaware Golden Boy. He caught a bit of the whispered conversation.

"Wow, Harry, I've never seen anything like it."

"Look how far out it goes!"

"Really, Ron, anyone can do it."

"I'm pretty sure not everyone can do that, Hermione."

"Yeah, Hermione, that is a trait you're either born with or you're not."

"Seamus – I'm sure that with practice anyone could also –"

"Nah, Herms. I have one too, as does me brother, and he can't make it do that."

Severus decided to step in. "Pardon me, I do hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said silkily.

Everyone in the area jumped, and Potter quickly tried to put it away, but Severus snatched his – thing – from him.

"What's this Potter?" He sneered at the boy, and had the satisfaction of seeing him tremble slightly in fear. Severus yanked hard and Potter yelped in pain as he was pulled from his seat.

"Let's see what the Headmaster thinks of you're disgusting idea of entertainment, shall we?" Severus asked, pulling Potter along by his thing.

Many students gasped when they saw what was happening, and immediately stared whispering.

"Oh my, that looks painful."

"Well he shouldn't have been foolish enough to pull it out in the Great Hall."

"Snape should let him put it away, or at least loosen his GRIP!"

Severus strode through the corridors with satisfaction, dragging the whimpering and red-faced boy in his wake. Potter was struggling to get free, but Snape's grip was like a vice. "I've finally got him. Displaying himself in front of the students – who does he think he is? Dumbledore will surely suspend him now."

They had reached the Headmaster' office. Severus rapped smartly on the door, an gave an extra tug, smirking when Potter yowled in pain.

"Come in," called Albus Dumbledore cheerfully.

Severus stepped in, followed by a shame faced Potter.

"Severus! Harry! To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Headmaster, Potter was disturbing other students during the study period. It is indecent and he should be suspended."

"Oh? What was he doing?"

"He was playing with this," Severus smirked, and released his hold. Potter immediately yanked it back, sighed with relief, and rubbed his sore appendage.

"Is that so? Well, let me see it."

Potter turned bright red, but showed it to the Headmaster.

"Well, I haven't seen one like this in years!" Dumbledore exclaimed delightedly. "Really, Severus, I hardly thing playing with a yo-yo is cause for suspension."

"A what?"

"A yo-yo. It's a Muggle toy."

"A-a TOY?"

"Well, yes. What did you think it was?"

Severus sputtered a bit, then snapped, "Twenty points from Gryffindor for disrupting studies, Potter!"

Potter nodded, his face serious, but his eyes were dancing with laughter.

As Severus stormed out of the office, he heard Dumbledore ask, "So Harry, what tricks do you know?"
