You thought I was going to put this off a little longer.
You thought I was never going to update ever again.
You thought WRONG.
Just to refresh, Iccle Amy said…
okay ... a dare. Not as easy as I thought 2 think of one actually.
Alright ... hmm ...
I dare everyone to work as a
team effort to distract Snape and steal some Veritaserum from his
office. But the best part ... pour some in Snapes morning drink and
ask him all the questions you like. :)
Enjoy. ^_^
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
It was a gloomy June day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The trio, Ginny, and Neville were sitting around, trying to think of a way to steal Snape's Veratisserum. Then…
"I got it! We could distract him!" Harry said.
"Harry, don't insult our intelligence. We already know that much," Hermione said. "But how are we going to distract him?"
Ron said, "You can distract him." And then he added, under his breath," 'Cause you sure do distract me."
"How am I going to distract him?"
"Well, you two are dating," Ginny stated.
"No, that was a one time thing."
Neville said, "Um, I might be missing something here, but why can't Harry go out with Ron and Hermione and steal the potion under the Invisibility Cloak? And if all of you don't fit, then you can cast Invisibility Charms, right Hermione? It would work out like this. Hermione and Harry would go inside the shop. Ron would stand guard outside. When Harry and Hermione get the potion, they could just come back here with Ron. If we do it this way, we don't really have to worry about distractions."
It took about 5 seconds for the words to sink in.
Then, Ginny cried, "Oh my gosh Neville, you're a genius!" She hugged Neville. He smiled and blushed.
"That was wicked, mate!" Ron clapped him on the back.
Harry smiled and nodded in approval. "That was pretty cool, Nev."
"Geez, why didn't I think of that?" Hermione asked herself.
That night they had decided to carry out Neville's plan tomorrow night, around midnight.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
The next night, Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed down for the dungeons. Because they all couldn't fit under the cloak, Harry and Ron were under while Hermione had to cast an Invisibility Charm on herself.
"You singled me out because I'm a girl, didn't you?"
"No, we singled you out because you weren't there when we voted."
"We've always told you not to go to the library so often, Herms."
"Guys, hush, there are prefects, you know."
They snuck past the prefects easily. They were now at the Potions classroom entrance.
"Ron! Take off your tie!" Hermione whispered.
"Alright, alright." He took it off.
"Alohomora," Hermione said.
Click.
"See ya in a few Ron."
They went inside. It was dark and slightly moist in there. They found where the kept the potions with a quick Lumos.
"Alright, let's see, Veratisserum… What does Veratisserum look like?"
"Well, it's colorless and odorless."
"So we look for something that looks like water?"
"Exactly."
So they searched for the water-like potion, and after about ten minutes, Harry asked, "Would it kill him to put some labels on these things? I mean, seriously. How does he find anything in here? They're all so close together, no organization skills whatsoever. It's pretty dark in here too. Speaking of dark have you seen his hair lately? It's so greasy, I wonder why he never washes it. I bet you that's his weakness, shampoo. Oh, I know. He doesn't wash it because he made a promise to himself. 'I won't wash my hair until Minerva goes out with me.' Or something like that. But if he didn't wash his hair, wouldn't only repel her more? Anyway, they would make an odd couple, don't you think Hermione? I mean, you and Dumbledore would make a more likely-"
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"I found it."
"Coolio."
MEANWHILE…
"God… so bloody bored… ugh…must do… something…" Ron starts humming "Dance Dance" by Fall Out Boy. But right when he got to the first chorus, a Slytherin prefect came by.
"You! Say your name, year, and why you're here!" he demanded.
"Erm… I'm Vincent's older brother… Andre. I'm a seventh year…. I'm waiting for…" What am I waiting for?! "…my girlfriend."
"Oh yeah, I've heard about you. I thought you were gay. And brunette."
"Naw,I- I swing both ways, you know? There's twice as much a chance that you'll get a date for Saturday night, yes? A-And I thought I would try red, you know. Experimenting." Thank God for fast thinking.
"Alright, alright. I'll see you around then."
"Yeah…"
The prefect left. Ron sighed a breath of relief. He thought he'd been caught for sure.
"Hey Ron." He jumped.
"What're you so jumpy about?"
"Nothing, you just startled me Harry. That's all."
"Then what are waiting for? Come on, let's go!" Hermione urged.
Harry put the cloak over himself and Ron, and they set off for the common room.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
When they came back to the common room, Neville and Ginny were eagerly awaiting the trio to come. When they did, Ginny hugged Harry and said, "You're back."
"Yes. Yes I am," Harry responded blankly.
"Well, now that that's done, how are we going to put in Snape's drink?" Neville asked.
"We could mix it in with his coffee and say it's water," Ron suggested.
"That isn't a bad idea, but I'm pretty sure he would recognize it. Besides, it would be awkward if it was coming from a bunch of Gryffindors," Hermione said.
"….Maybe it doesn't have to come from Gryffindors," Ginny said with an evil smile on her face.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
THE NEXT DAY…
"NO."
"Please Malfoy, we're asking you politely. All you have to do is serve him some coffee with a little bit of Veratisserum in it. That's all."
"What if I get caught, Granger? What are going to do about that?" he asked.
"We could blame it on Iccle Amy, since she was the one who made us do this in the first place," Ginny said.
Draco thought about it for a moment before saying, "…sounds reasonable."
"Alright, here's the potion." Hermoine gave him the standard sized bottle. Draco stood there.
"What are you standing there for?!" she asked furiously. She shoo-ed him out of the hallway and into the Great Hall. "Go on boy, do your thing!"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Draco stumbled onto the Great Hall. He then walked over to his seat and sat next to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Hey Vince, hey Greg."
"Hey Drake," they said simutaniously.
"Whacha got there?" Greg asked, referring to the vile.
"Oh, just planning a little prank on Professor Snape." He poured a small amount of Veratissirum onto a mug.
"Anything we could do to help?" Vince asked with a bright expression on his face.
"This is more of a one man job." He poured coffee into it and stirred.
"You say EVERYTHING is a one man job," Greg complained loudly.
"Yeah. Even mastur-" Vince began to add, but Draco cut him off.
Draco said with a hard voice, "Don't even think about finishing that sentence."
Vince looked down, ashamed. "Yes sir."
Draco peered into the cup. It looked black. Perfect.
"Well," he said, "I'll see ya in a few…" He trailed off when he noticed Vince and Greg were too busy stuffing their faces to notice he was leaving. He sighed. When are they ever going to change?
He walked up to Snape at the teachers' table and said, "Good morning," in his most polite tone.
"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy."
"Um, would you like some coffee?" Draco asked courteously.
Snape raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Well…" Draco thought quickly. "To say thank you for all the stuff you've done for me, y'know?" He smiled, hoping Snape couldn't tell he's lying. "Besides you're my teacher and my godfather, you deserve some…coffee."
He took the coffee mug and said, "Thank you, Mr. Malfoy."
"It was my pleasure Professor," Draco said, and he left the table.
Snape drank.
