Part four: Day six and seven
…the next day in potions…
Rumors had spread like a wildfire about Snape and Malfoy. And true to his suspicions, everyone started calling him 'mister expectant' and 'mister loaded' or 'missus Snape'
"Stupid prank game." He muttered crossly, his arms folded, slumped down in his seat as they all waited for Snape to enter.
Hermione giggled. "All in good fun." She teased, poking him playfully.
Just then, Snape walked in, looking madder than ever. Malfoy slumped further in his seat, really not looking forward to the prank he had to pull this time. He had begged Granger to do it, but she'd reasoned that his reputation couldn't possibly get any worse, being that everyone now thought that he was expecting Snape's child, it would sound better coming from him.
Malfoy had simply grumbled at that and grudgingly agreed.
After double potions, Snape began inspecting potions. When he came up to Harry and Ron, Harry burst into long, uncontrollable wails and sobs.
The whole class began giggling. Snape hushed them, then turned back to Potter, not sure if he should be concerned or annoyed. "Potter, what in the name of all that is holy is the matter with you?" He demanded. Harry just let out another long, loud wail. Snape's face twitched, and he turned away, going back to his desk.
Harry stopped crying right away, sending the room into another giggling fit. "Quiet." Snape growled. He shook his head, taking out his book and telling everyone to turn to a certain page.
"Hold on, everyone, there's something I'd like to say first." Draco stood up, and Snape glared at him. "I just wanted, to announce to the whole class, just to let them know how sincere I am when I say how deeply, and truly, I… love Severus Snape." He finished quickly. The entire classroom, which had been silent throughout the start of Draco's speech burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
Draco spoke over them. "My love for him is undying! It always was, is and always shall be! And he is fathering MY CHILD!" With that, he took off running from the classroom. Snape slammed his book shut, then chased him to the door, but didn't bother going out after him, as the boy was already long gone, having discovered that speed was relevant when running from Severus Snape.
"QUIET!" Snape demanded. It took a while, but they managed to settle down. "TURN TO PAGE 45." He snarled. His tone of voice kept everyone from disobeying.
After class, they all met up in the empty classroom, where Draco was hiding, sitting in the corner, hugging his knees. "Okay, point to team Grangoy, for that, amazing confession back there." Ginny playfully punched Draco's arm. All he could do was shake his head, making a face.
"Yeah, that was pretty good, Malfoy." Harry laughed.
"Yours too, Potter. But at least yours won't haunt you to your death." Malfoy grudgingly acknowledged, muttering the last part.
"Okay, six to three." Ginny told them. "Step up your game, Pottley." She grinned at her brother and Harry.
…the next day at potions…
Ron raised his hand. "Yes, Weasley, what is it?" Snape asked, almost wearily.
"Sir, I uh… just wanted to let you know that, um, ahem, y-you pants… they fell down." He blushed furiously. Of course, all the students rubber-necked, trying to see if he was right.
Snape raised an eyebrow and glanced down. His pants were perfectly fine. He looked back at Ron, raising an eyebrow again. Ron suddenly jumped up, running from the room, waving his hands in the air and screaming at the top of his lungs. "It's magic I tell you! MAGIC!" Everyone burst out laughing again.
Snape commanded silence. All but Malfoy stopped. He continued laughing hysterically. "Malfoy, silence yourself." He hissed.
Draco stopped, staring at him with a straight face. "The only way that will happen is if you kiss me as well as you did last night." He burst out laughing again. Snape's face twitched when everyone else started laughing again.
Wordlessly, Snape cast a silencing spell over Malfoy, who was laughing so hard, he's fallen out of his seat. Hermione giggled, watching him writhe around on the floor, giddy with silenced laughter.
Snape uncast the spell just before he left at the end of the lesson, and Draco was still laughing.
"Okay, point to Grangoy." Ginny giggled when they'd congregated in the empty classroom.
"What?" Ron and Harry cried.
"Sorry, but nothing can beat what they just did." She giggled. Ron and Harry glared at Draco, who's cheeks were flushed from laughing so hard for so long. He was panting, all smiles. The pale boy looked wonderful with a touch of rosy pink in his cheeks.
"How did you manage to laugh like that for so long?" Ginny giggled.
"I don't know." He panted, smiling broadly. "I-it was just…" He giggled again. "Just so… so funny. Stop! I-I can't breathe." He was laughing again. It took him a while to calm down. And by then, he had to sit down because he was light-headed, clutching at his ribs which were sore, his head between his knees.
"That was good. Okay, Grangoy seven, Pottley, three. Seriously, they're leaving you in the dust! Catch up guys!"
AN: Another awesome prank, hehe. Heheh. HEHEHEHEHEHHEAHAHAHAHAHAHMUAUAUAHAH! *cough cough choke wheeze* AHEM. sorry.
