This is a story that shows a very valuable lesson in life; don't EVER try to get revenge on your teacher by means of hypnosis!
It was another ordinary day to everyone with an unfortunate exception to Harry, Ron and Hermione who had double Potions right after lunch.
"Is it just me or are our timetables jinxed or something?" complained Ron, "The war's over and we've still got problems!" Harry exchanged looks with Hemione
"Well given the fact that you wiped out – what was it now, three Deatheaters maybe karma is just having its way with you" said Harry
"Oh shut up you're sounding like Prof. Trelawney" Ron snapped.
The dungeons were dark, gloomy and were of no surprise to Harry."Wonder if Snape will ever think of redecorating?" said Hermione, "Yeah right!" laughed Ron, "He first might want to wash that hair of his first, its got enough oil to get a rusty bicycle working again!" But they quickly fell silent as a shadow belonging to their Potions Master loomed over them. "It should be none of your concern what I do with my life and 10 points will be taken off Gryffindor for insulting the teacher" said Snape in a toneless voice. The three of them quickly walked over to their seats and as they sat down Ron whispered to Harry "That wasn't an insultment, it was a tip".
Once again Snape had asked them to make a complex potion than made Neville shake uncontrollably when he saw the instructions. Both Harry and Ron were unsuccessful at making the potion a sky blue but instead a dung brown. Hermione however had her cauldron contain a blue bubbling liquid and was looking pleased with her work. She turned her back to write down some notes but this was not gone unnoticed by Draco Malfoy.
With a sneer he secretly tipped a bottle of mandrake roots into her potion making it hiss and finally turn to ash. Harry was furious at what the sneak had done and drew his wand; before he could hex him Snape had came over to their work area. "Sloppy work again Mr Potter and Mr Weasly" he turned to Hermione who had an expression of pain and anger, "Miss Granger you have just made a foolish mistake and I being the teacher can not let that go unpunished" he said sternly, "all three of you will receive detention tonight and another 10 points will be taken from you each" he said before striding away with a satisfied look.
The class packed up their things and left in a hurry to their common rooms, it had been a very good day and now there was detention with a bat they had to deal with.
It was exactly six o'clock when Harry, Ron and Hermione met outside the door of the classroom. "I swear that before I graduate I'm going to get my revenge on him" said Hermione under her breath, "which one?" asked Ron as the door opened to let them in, "both" she replied. Surprisingly the classroom was empty so they sat down and waited, before long Hermione had taken out a book to pass the time. "What's that?" asked Harry, "It's a book on hypnotism" Ron was as confused as Harry "But Hermione since when do you believe in stuff like that?" Hermione glared back at him "Since I ran out of topics that were interesting" Ron and Harry looked at each other before turning towards the front. "That's a start" Harry whispered.
It had been half an hour before Snape had entered the room carrying paperwork and books. "Now" he started "You will clean up the classroom as your punishments without the use of magic" Hermione immediately spoke up "Sir aren't we going to just do school work?" Snape gave her a look that made her become quiet "I could but where is the fun in that?"
Hours passed slowly as Harry struggled to maintain books while placing them into their correct shelves, Ron was sweeping what looked like dried potion and was certainly not getting anywhere while Hermione was dusting cabinets with a very dirty feather duster. Something immediately stopped her from doing her job and it turned out to be what looked like an old pendulum. She blew off the dust and held it open in her hand. Snape got up and walked slowly out of the classroom giving her the perfect time to contact Harry and Ron.
"Harry, Ron – come over here I found something!"
They rushed over to her as anything would amaze them at them at this point of boredom.
"Wow…..what is it?" said Ron, "It's a pendulum Ronald, it's used in hypnosis you know" she explained.
"Okay so should we test it out just for fun?"
Harry and Ron looked at her as though she was crazy "on what Hermione?" said Harry "It's not like we're going to find a guinea pig in a classroom. The door opened and Snape came back in not even bothering to look up to see wether they were working or not.
"No but 'he' will be just as good" Hermione gestured to their Potions Master who was now giving grades on report cards. Walking up to the desk with Harry leading, Hermione pulled out her book on hypnotism and the pendulum. Snape looked up for only a second before going into a trance as Hermione started talking the spell in Latin.
Snape fell to the ground lifeless behind his desk. "Oh no we killed him!" panicked Ron, "we didn't" reassured Hermione "he is just knocked out".
Moments later he sprang back to life meowing like a cat. "Hermione what the hell did you do!" screamed Harry as he back away from Snape who began to like his hand. "I – I think I used the wrong spell" whimpered Hermione as she flipped through the pages of the book. They searched until finally coming to the spell she had recited which unfortunately was under the heading of 'Animalia Mind Confusion'. "Oh great so this means that Snape thinks he's a cat?" Harry said becoming very worried. "I guess but until I can find away to reverse it I guess we'll just have to keep him until then" Hermione said with a sigh.
Harry and Ron turned to Hermione with mixed expressions on their faces "What do you mean 'we'!"
