Chapter 2 Blue Braided Hair

Disclaimer: I do not own Snape or the characters in the Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling owns them.

Bill Lane is a Gryffindor student who was chosen for this prank. A student gave him a parchment with the prank, and spell to use on Snape.

Snape was near the dungeon corridor when Bill snuck behind him, and said the spell that would do the job, "Braido Putrulanus Saeta."

It was later that Snape noticed the students were snickering, and he wondered why they were snickering as he was heading for the head table for dinner, where all the teachers had their meals in the Great Hall. He went to his regular seat and sat down. One teacher asked him, why is your hair blue and braided? Snape thought not again, why were the students starting to pull pranks on him. He left in a huff, for he was very angry. This is the second time that it happened to him.

Poor Snape tried potions and spells to see if he could get his hair back to normal, and nothing worked for him. His hair stayed that way for a week.

In revenge, he took 25 house points off from Gryffindor. Because he thought, someone from that house was responsible for it.

Snape thought that he should retaliate and pull a prank on Gryffindor house, because of the prank pulled on him. He found a way to get into the Gryffindor common room. He then changed the colors of the room to blue, with pictures of a blue bunny on the walls. One item was transfigured to a big stuffed bunny that talked. The bunny would say something when a student got, close to it. The main thing, he would say is:

I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death.

It drove the Gryffindors crazy, because they could not change what was done in their common room. The prank lasted for a whole two whole weeks. They were glad when their common room was back too normal.

Author's note: "Braido Putrulanus Saeta" means Braided Blue hair.
