------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lunch began as a quiet affair, with Snape and Harry sat at either end of the table. Harry was certainly not in the mood to really eat much; for some uncomprehendable reason he seemed angry, infuriated with himself, filled with fury that burnt away at him like fire which contrasts a dark night's sky. He knew that it was something to do with the Tri-Wizard tournament that had passed literally a few days before; but he couldn't understand why it was anger he was feeling. /why not sadness, despair even, I don't get this, it must be to do with the tournament, and the past I suppose, what else is there - I guess everything has come together and fallen out of place all at once/
Harry was so wrapped up in his thoughs, caught like a young child in the wrapping paper of their latest christmas gift; he didn't hear Snape speak up
"Harry"
He snapped out and looked towards Snape who was observing him with some indication of unknown suspicion
"Harry? Are you actually going to eat anything on your plate or should it go to the houselves for the bin. Is it not up to your satisfaction?"
"Erm, No, sorry I was thinking actually and got a little carried away"
"Clearly, thinking about what boy; what could be so imperative that requires thinking; which is something you are normally incapable of doing unless it is for your own benefit?"
"I already said I'm sorry, there's no need to jump on me, I know you like doing strict but is there any reason to be like that?"
"I ask you the questions thankyou. And I am frustrated because you have been like it all day today, in fact, over the last two days excluding the time in which you were asleep, is this possible related to your thoughts; and eat while I am talking, you need the food"
"yes, it is kind of, I'm just confused really; I'll get back to the food." Harry picked up his fork, stabbing unnaturally hard at his food. He felt the rage rising up again; he was ready to snap, at anyone, for no reason that he knew of yet. Ready. He swallowed slowly and stabbed at it again, even harder.
"Is there any reason why you are mutilating my cutlery boy, refrain from doing so if you please and eat your meal, you need the food"
That was it, Harry had heard enough, and there was the other option of Privacy and he was so very desperate to read that new book that was laying undistrubed underneath his bed.
"I don't give a shit about the food right now, sorry and all but I've had enough"
With that, he rose from the chair knocking it backwards before turning and kicking it back into place without turning back round; in the process of heading straight for the door
"Come back here Harry, right now; instantly otherwise there'll be consequences!"
"to hell with the consequences, I don't give a damn!" he snapped. Snape opened his mouth in protest however his comback was instantly futile as it would have been made mute by the ear-burning slam from the dining room door.

Harry hurried up the stairs to his room. He barged inside the door and sat forcefully on the bed. Then realisation hit him and he understood what he had just done, he did feel some amount of regret and still felt immensely angry. This left him inclined to not apologise and just make Snape get over it. He had adopted him after all and there was no way that he would let him go, not after he had been adopted since the end of first year. They had grown to know each other too well. He would just have to sort himself out and understand that he *Harry* needed some time.
/Where did I leave that book, ah under the bed/ and with that he reached underneath and pulled it out, it was a rather large one; and there was the obvious advantage that nobody else could visually discover it, appart from the people that already knew about it's presence. That was one thing that Harry decided he would definitely keep from Snape's knowledge.
"Unlimited ways to remain out of trouble, cause it and always have the excuse to cover it" He read aloud to nobody in particular, other than himself. This was amazing! Now he had this book that he could use to obtain unlimited excuses for any sorts of trouble; a whole unlimited section filled with amazing pranks and troublemaking facades and the fact that it was never ending was just simply unbelievable!

/It was certainly worth missing practically all of dinner for this beauty/
/They'll all be sorry If they mess with me; namely Snape and Malfoy but anyone else who dares hinder me in my mission will be regretting their intrusions/ *evil grin*
No seriously, it was the most wonderful gift that would actually prove to be useful. Unlimited pranks; this would last him for damn eternity!
And they were numbered, appearing when you needed the next prank, excuse or trouble-creating adventure; he opened the first page and gawked in awe!

1) Take yourself out and get bladdered; with the best mate makes for a laugh:
Drinking games, or generally having a "jolly" time; always creates laughter and perhaps a slight wobble on the way home.
Makes you fit nicely into the society's late night hangabouts - why not go see them?
Excuse: -You ate a great deal of sugar; and didn't quite fully comprehend the consequences of such a massive comsumption of sweet confectionary.
-You saw a granny in the street and she cursed you; this curse will leave you incapable of your being for a short period of time *use the excuse of the spell "confundo", "abesso" or "insano viro" (confuse, to be away or to make the man insane) - This seems a little "far fetched" but it should work.
-You ate something funny and you can't remember what it was
-Or you just make the excuse that you feel ill and can't understand what is wrong with you - do not use this if a trained medi-witch or wizard is present.

Any of the above will work but do consider wisely...
Prank idea: It's always funny to "pop" something in someone's drink on the odd occassion; see the list in the index for further details

Harry shut the book with the largest grin
Ron was coming over the next evening for three whole weeks, this would be heaven!!!
Let's just hope that after his outburst the plans can still go ahead. With that - there was a harsh-fisted knock at the door.

A/N: Updating soon - will the plan work and what will happen. He is totally losing it now isn't he??
:D
