"Mr. Johnson, I see you haven't learned." Severus strode up to the boy as he was trying to sell to some Gryffindor. Neither group knew how to be subtle, thank Merlin. "Hand it over. Two weeks with Mr. Filch when you return. I am sure your father will also be getting another letter." He looked down at what was laid in this hand. "The rest of it Mr. Johnson."
He showed Harry as he entered their quarters. "Looks like we will have enough for the entire holiday. I caught him yesterday, Minerva and Poppy caught him outside of the Infirmary, and Lucius caught him on the Quidditch Pitch."
"Puffs, they never get the idea of being subtle." Severus commented as he stored their stash.
Break
"I am telling you we need to start searching that boy's dorm and mail." Harry said as he inhaled. Severus just light one up. He saw the tell-tale bag of M&M in Severus' pocket. He pulled it out.
"I agree. I can't believe every single child is out of Hogwarts for spring break." Lucius took another bite of his pizza. "This is really good."
"Aberforth got a pizza oven in." Minerva commented. She took a puff from the joint Poppy passed her. As she exhaled she said. "I conned him into hiring Albus for the week for us. Said how Albus needed some new job experience so he wouldn't be useless when he left here. I had to bribe Aberforth with an order of ten pizzas this week."
"We will be order more than that and you know it." Hooch said from next to Minerva.
"True." Minerva agreed. "Plus the elves like pizza too."
"The students being gone are all because of Harry and Severus." Hermione said from Draco's lap. He was running his hand through her hair. She had a bottle of Pepsi next to her. "We need to get some of this tomorrow." Draco nodded his agreement.
"Us?" Harry looked at Severus. "Can you believe the tales they are telling about us? Just because I happened to mention that we were going to be so busy that we wouldn't be able to see each other was no reason for everyone to leave."
"I agree, I mean I just helpfully suggested that I was going to patrolling the halls because my husband was going to be very busy, wasn't any reason for them to all leave." Severus popped an M&M into his mouth.
"It also had nothing to do with the threat of giving anyone you found in the hall a twelve-foot essay on the importance of cutting frog's liver correctly?" Bella asked. "Though how anyone could even write a foot on it, is beyond me."
"Exactly." Harry and Severus said at the same time.
"So which one of you coated Albus' candy dish with the babbling potion, mixed with the prank that turned him into a dog?" Voldemort asked.
No one answered. "Is that why Hagrid was wondering where his new dog went too?" Narcissa asked as he handed Draco the pipe. "We have to go back to that Pipe Store in London before they return."
"I was going to head there on Saturday." Bella remarked. "I lost my lighter again." She started to pat the chair she was sitting in. "I know I brought it with me."
"I found something better." Harry remarked.
"Yes, my lighters." Severus' commented. "I had Filius see if there was a charm we could adapt for the lighters. He said there was and he would give me the spell when he found the book."
"I find about five or six on average after all of you leave. The elves put them on my desk." Voldemort accio'ed a basket. He held it out and everyone started to claim their lighters.
"I wonder who was the one that hid all of Albus' robe and he was forced to wear his old black teacher's robes?" Hooch asked as she took a brownie. "Narcissa did you bake Johnson's stuff in these?"
"Yes, the other stuff was too weak, didn't work that well. How do you think I make it through those teas with Augusta Longbottom. She won't touch anything I bake."
"Ruddy battleax that woman is." Severus quietly told Harry, who agreed.
"We have the Hogwarts to ourselves this week, so I am going to suggest a prank war during the daylight hours, but not between us." Voldemort said.
"Oh?"
"Yes, we divide into four teams, we set the pranks up in the different houses and any professor who isn't here. There are a few catches, the pranks can't go off until the at least three days after everyone returns, nothing dangerous, humiliating, or even something that would allow them to think it was us. The team that does the best job doesn't have to provide the munchies for the summer holiday." Voldemort put the idea out there.
"Can you present this idea when I am not so stoned?" Bella asked.
"I agree."
"He always comes up with the best ideas when he is stoned." Harry said. "I want to write that one down so we don't forget it." Harry slowly got up and after thirty minutes, after an M&M throwing free for all, Harry was able to finish adding things to the prank contest, Harry finally sat back down. He got an M&M in his mouth and a kiss from Severus for his reward.
"Minerva you have M&M's in your hair." Hermione laughed, and everyone else started laughing as Minerva tried to get them out of her hair.
They all heard a snore and saw Hooch and Bella were out. "It seems everyone is crashing here again. I always forgot how loud Hooch is when she snores." Voldemort cast a silencing spell over the witch.
"Featherweights." Harry looked at the pair sleeping and knew there would be a few more soon.
"Come on, heavyweight, let's get you back to our quarters before we both fall asleep." Severus said as Harry started giggling.
