A/N: This is a new one. The original list entitled "Ways to Annoy, Harass, Confuse or Generally Scare Professor Snape" was written by Amanda. All credits of the list goes to her. There are 404 in all and I don't intend on using all of them. Read!

Prologue

"Don't you think we're too old for this?"

"Nobody's too old to annoy Snape."

"I agree."

"You do realize House Points are at stake. Not to mention endless detentions with Filch. Ron, you're a Head Boy!"

"I don't really care. This being our last year and all."

"Ron! Aren't you worried you can't graduate just by doing this? Or worse, expelled."

"I think Hermione's right, Ron. Maybe we should call it quits."

"Call it quits, Harry? It hasn't even started yet. Harry, it took me a month to make this list. It's such a waste if we don't make use of it!"

"Nobody told you to do it, Ron!" Hermione snapped. "Who would have thought you'll be wasting your time on that instead of your homeworks?"

"I did," Harry answered.

Hermione drew out an exasperated sigh. "And you, Harry! You better not join Ronald in this stupid quest of his!"

Harry only shrugged. Hermione snatched the rolled-up parchment from Ron's hand. "Hey! Give it back!"

"No! As a Head Girl and Prefect, this is confiscated."

"You're not giving it to Professor McGonagall, are you?"

"I'm considering it at the moment. You, Ronald, go back to your essay. It's already a week late and doing this --" she thought of a word but settled with "-- stupid prank won't help you."

"I'll do it if you give it back." He was holding out his hand, pleading for her to return the list.

Hermione gave him a dangerous look and Ron thought better than to argue. He sat back down again and crossed his arms across his chest. He waited until Hermione went back to her dormitory room.

"I swear I'll get it back."

o O o

"Ron! What are you doing?" Harry hissed.

Ron looked down at Harry, who was at the end of the staircase and gave him a menacing look. "Shhh, Harry! Shut up will you? I have to get my list back!" he hissed back.

"You do know that there are wards against boys in the girls' dormitory, don't you?"

Ron flashed his Prefect and Head Boy badge at Harry and gave him an isn't-it-obvious look and continued creeping.

"I give up!" Harry said. "Do whatever you want! Just don't forget to tell Hermione I'm not with you in this when she discovers!"

"Alright! Just shush, okay?"

He grasped the door handle and turned it slowly. All of them were already asleep and Ron spotted where Hermione's bed was because of her hair. The moonlight was illuminating the room, making it easy for Ron to creep up to her without stumbling on anything.

Hmmm...where is it? He carefully pulled her trunk out under her bed and started rummaging quietly through it. Halfway through, he found Lockhart's book of Magical Me and crinkled his nose. "Eew, Hermione! How can you still keep this?"

Feeling the familiar parchment, he fished it out suddenly and accidentally hit the lampshade on her bedside. Oops. Hermione turned and groaned sleepily. Ron quickly lied on his front, praying to all the gods Hermione was too sleepy to wake up.

He waited three minutes before he moved and returned all her things properly.

"Good night, 'Mione!"
