Chapter 1

Spilt Potion and The Ultimate Payback

Hermione, Ron, and Harry walked out of potions itching like mad, as a result of a potion they had made that goes into itching powder.

How did this potion get on them?

Two words…… Draco Malfoy.

Draco walked out of the potions room surrounded by his two thugs Crabbe and Goyle and his usual flock of drooling girls.

They all howled with laughter when they saw the golden trio scratching franticly.

" Are you all trying out some new dance moves" Chuckled Malfoy. Which only made him and everyone else laugh even harder.

" Hey that's better than how the mudblood usually dances," squealed Pansy, the leader of the lets drool over Draco fan club.

" Remember the Yule Ball?" She said excitedly to Draco.

A smirk crossed Draco's face.

" O yea she went with Krum. Humm I wonder what was wrong with that guy. Must have been hit one too many times with a bulgar."

At that last comment Ron attempted to speak, but considering he was itching like crazy, the words didn't come out the way he intended.

" You……Son….of…a…..bitch…..you" Ron groaned as he itched himself even more frantically.

Hermione who was dangerously close to tears by now said " Come…on ….lets go to…..infirmary….there not….worth it."

At this the Slytherins all broke out into laughter again.

" Were not worth it. That's funny coming from a mudblood." Draco shot.

Rom growled as Hermione and Harry took his arms and attempted to pull him to the infirmary.

" We….willl….get ……you …..for …this….Malfoy!" Harry spat with difficulty due to his scratching and to pulling Ron.

" O I am so scared" Draco yelled back.

Hermione, who was holding back tears could still hear them laughing as they made their way to the infirmary. Hermione noticed Malfoy never missed an opportunity to point out that she was muggle born.

" Hermione… are … you alright?" Ron said still scratching himself like crazy.

" I'm fine…Its just… I am…..itching so much……it's starting to burn." Hermione lied.

She couldn't let her friends know that those tears forming in her eyes were caused by Draco's mudblood comment.

An hour later Hermione, Harry, and Ron walked out of the infirmary itch free.

" Damn Malfoy. I can't believe that asshole. He thinks he's so funny." Ron said annoyed

" Yea and that bastard Snape didn't even punish him, even though he knocked that potion on us right in front of him." Harry said angrily. " He just pretended he didn't see it."

" Yea and then he took ten points from Gryffindor for our clumsiness." Said Hermione.

" I don't know who I hate more Malfoy or Snape." Harry said.

" As far as I'm concerned their both gits." Ron said

" Yea well Snape is a git but he did try to save Harry's life in our first year…" Hermione started, but got cut off by Harry

" Ya but…"

"No Harry no buts. I don't like Snape anymore than you but at least he has done some good. Now Malfoy on the other hand….. that arse has never done any good a day in his life." Hermione said.

" Yea and you would think that after everyone finding out about his father being a Death Eater he wouldn't be so full of himself. But since his father escaped from Azkaban he seems to be even more full of himself." Harry said.

" We have got to teach that git a lesson." Ron said.

" Yea we'll give him what he deserves." Harry said.

" I agree." Hermione said.

"You do" Harry and Ron said together shocked.

" Well usually I think that two wrongs don't make a right, but that evil git needs to be taught a lesson." Said Hermione.

" So you mean to tell me that you aren't going to give the just ignore him speech or we will just get into trouble speech?" Ron asked still not quite believing what he is hearing.

" No." Hermione said simply.

Harry and Ron just starred at her amazed.

" Well are we going to think of an idea to pay Malfoy back or are you both just gonna sit here and stare at me like I have four heads?" Hermione said annoyed.

" O right." Harry and Ron said together as they turned their stare away from Hermione.

About a half hour later they sat in the common room discussing ways they could pay Malfoy back.

" How about we pour an itching potion on him, then he would know what it feels like." Ron said

" Or how about we figure out how to turn him into a ferret again. I wouldn't mind seeing that again." Harry said. At that idea they all laugh.

None of them forgot Draco the flying ferret incident.

" Those are good ideas, but they have been done already. We need to come up with something original." Hermione said

" O I know." Ron said " Maybe we should put a spell on him that makes him have a small dick, or make him really bad in bed."

Harry and Hermione just starred at him. Ron's ears turned pink.

" What then I wouldn't have to hear all girls talk about what a sex god he is."

" Yea" Harry laughed. " I bet Malfoy wouldn't be so full of himself then, or better yet maybe we could do a spell that wont let him get hard."

" Yea then we wouldn't have to worry about him anymore because he would probably kill himself. HA" Ron howled.

" Really …boys are so perverted." Hermione said disgusted. "I refuse to do any spell that has to deal with Malfoy's…………"

" With Malfoy's what Hermione?" Ron asked on the verge of laughter.

Hermione's face reddened.

" You know what I mean Ronald and anyway I have got a better idea. If we want to pay Malfoy back then we need to not mess with him physically, but mentally."

" What do you have in mind?" Harry asked curiously.

" What if I told you that I know a spell that will allow us to be able to read Malfoy's mind?" Hermione said.

Ron and Harry looked like Christmas had come early.

" You mean a spell that so only we can hear all the personal thoughts of Malfoy?" Harry asked

" That's exactly right Harry" Hermione said

" Wow if we hear all of Malfoys thoughts I beat we can find a way to use it against him, you know like find his weaknesses and stuff." Said Ron excitedly.

" Yes that is what I was thinking." Said Hermione equally excited.

" But Hermione are you sure we can work this spell?" Ron concerned "I mean mind reading is suppose to be very difficult."

" Well it is rather difficult, but I think we can pull it off." Said Hermione.

" Where did you see a spell about mind reading, I don't think we have ever studied it before?" Harry asked " And Im sure that I wouldn't have tuned out a spell for mind reading."

Hermione blushed " Well I came a crossed it the other day accidentally in a book I was reading in the restricted section."

" What where you doing in the restricted section?" Ron asked curiously

" Well I um I um was just looking up some spell….oh um it wouldn't interest you guys, anyways back to the mind reading spell." Hermione said uncomfortably.

" No I want to know what you were reading in the restricted section?" Ron asked

" Arr Ron It is none of your business what I was reading in there. Now do want to hear how to work the spell for reading Malfoys's mind or not?" Hermione asked annoyed.

" Yes how?" Harry said quickly.

" Well hold on, let me go and get the book" Hermione said.

A few moments later she came back with a large book and began to flip through the pages quickly.

" Aw here it is, a potion for mind reading." Hermione said " humm well most of these ingredients will be easy enough to get."
" Most?" Harry asked

" Well it says here that we will need a piece of the persons mind we want to reads hair."

"Hair. Why does it always have to be hair?" Ron said. None of them had forgotten the poly juice potion they took during their second year.

" Do you two think that you can get a strain of his hair? I think I can take care of the rest." Hermione said.

" Sure Hermione we can get it" Harry said " How long does this potion take to make anyways?"

Hermione looked at the book again" Hum only an hour, but o my well that could be a problem"

" Care to share what could be the problem with us?" Ron asked

" O um" Hermione blushed " Well after we do the potion we have to say an incantation and it says here that since this spell is very powerful that the witch or wizard who says the incantation may feel tired and drained for a while."

" So we will just make the potion before we go to bed. What's the problem?" Harry asked

" Um yes I guess we will be alrigtht" Hermione said uncertain.

" You guess?" Ron asked white faced.

Harry yawned. " Well I don't know about you two but I'm beat."

" Yea me too. We will start on this potion first thing in the morning." Hermione said

" Wait what do you mean you guess we will be ok" Ron said still white faced. " Am I the only one who sees a problem with 'I guess we will be ok'?"

Harry just smiled " Relax mate. It will be worth the risk when we see the look on Malfoy's face when we find out all his secrets and use them against him"

" Yea your right Harry it's worth the risk." Ron said finally satisfied.
