This is for a competition on Final Prophecy. It's actually posted already, but I just thought that I'd post it here and see what you guys think about it.

Bile Bombs

Harry was in a bad mood towards Professor Snape. A very bad mood indeed. He just had his last lesson for the day, double potions. Their task had been to make the Wit-sharpening Potion, individually. Without Hermione, it was disastrous. He was leaning over his cauldron to get some armadillo bile for his potion and his last dungbomb was slipping out of his pocket. As he dropped the armadillo bile inside, his dungbomb fell fully out of his pocket and landed in his cauldron! His concoction exploded in puffs of silver smoke and at the bottom lay his dungbomb in a transparent liquid that was probably water. Snape heard the sound his potion exploding and Harry hurriedly scooped his dungbomb out of the water and put it back into his pocket.

"I see you have once again been unsuccessful, Mr. Potter," Snape drawled with palpable satisfaction. "Zero points." He waved his wand over Harry's cauldron and the water was gone immediately. Snape commanded him to leave and Harry happily did so. Who cared if he got zero marks?

He heard Snape dismiss the class and leave for Hogsmeade to get a butterbeer, as he always did when Harry 'messed up' so that he could 'clear up the headache Harry gave him'.

He took out his dungbomb and spun it slowly in his fingers. It looked somehow…different. He sniffed it. It smelled like armadillo bile. He cringed, it smelled disgusting. Usually, the smell was encased in the dungbomb and it didn't usually smell like armadillo bile either. Unless…

What if the dungbomb had crossed with the armadillo bile, so when it exploded, it sent armadillo bile everywhere? That would be interesting… He couldn't wait to try it out.

As he was walking back to the Gryffindor Common Room to rest, he passed by Snape's office. He noticed that the door was ajar…with Snape in Hogsmeade, it meant that it was empty. Harry looked at the dungbomb and at the open door again.

He had just found the perfect place to experiment his new invention. Harry grinned. This was going to be so much fun! He stood outside and putting his hand around the door, he chucked the 'bile bomb' in. Seconds later, there came a loud 'BOOM' and the smell of armadillo bile slowly wafted out. Harry grinned again and shut the door to preserve the nauseating smell.

Snape just received two years worth supply of armadillo bile, dissatisfaction guaranteed. Harry smirked.

Half an hour later, after Snape's return

"POTTER!!!"

Snape's yells rang throughout the Hogwarts castle. The trio was having dinner when Harry heard it.

"What did you do?" Ron and Hermione asked. Ron was smiling while Hermione wore a frown on her lips.

"Maybe something, then again, maybe nothing. After all," Harry replied, quirking an eyebrow, "innocent until proven guilty."
