Chapter 36

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

Two weeks flew past and my detentions with Snape where over for the time being. Today was Monday and therefore we had double potions with my dear Sevvie cakes. All during breakfast Harry and Ronald were hassling me for what I was going to do next or when I was going to play another prank and on whom. Honestly, those two are the biggest pain in the arses this world has yet to witness. I ignored them all the way through breakfast and all the way down to the dungeons where thankfully, they finally shut up.

I sat down and took out my books, cauldron and ingredients as well as a folder containing documents on life insurance. Little did Harry know that he was involved in my next prank and that in exactly 10 minutes from now, he'd regret bugging me all morning. Mwhahahahaaaaa!

"Silence", bellowed Snape as he entered the classroom. "Today we will be preparing a draft of peace. It is not difficult and consider this revision." The classroom groaned, "And therefore does not require instructions. You will prepare this potion from memory" continued Snape as if he hadn't heard the class.

I quickly got started and reached the half way point in less than 10 minutes as I sped the process up a little with my newly created spell. Heehee! I love magic!

Anyway back to my prank. So I sat down and began to scribble away at the insurance form. I could feel Snapey's eyes on me and yet he didn't draw attention to me. Ha! He probably thought it was a prank for him. God he's sooooooooooo vain!

And then I hit a snag. I didn't understand exactly what this question meant, so I did the natural thing and stuck up my hand.

"Yes Miss Granger, what is it? Surely you aren't having problems with such a simply potion?" asked Snapie poo.

I grinned and shook my head, "No sir, it's just that I don't understand what this question is referring to. You see sir it asks if the insuree would like any funeral arrangements made for them or if they would like to state what they would like. Sir does that mean that I state it or does it mean that Harry has to state it. Who's the insuree?"

"Miss Granger, what on earth are you on about?" asked Snape as he stormed over to my desk.

He took up the documents and read. Silence rained all over the classroom. Harry looked confused and was asking me why I was insuring him. I smiled. I was interrupted from explaining by Snape roaring his head off. At first I thought he was yelling and then realized that he was laughing. "Well Potter", exclaimed Snape, "It seems that Miss Granger here is taking advantage of your good fortune of finding yourself in hot water. She's taking out a life insurance policy on you" he said while chuckling.

"Hermione Granger, I'm going to kill you" screamed Harry.

"Now Harry, just listen to me for a moment. Imagine the money I could make from you" I said while running away from him. He didn't find the funny side to it.

Snape called a halts to our antics. "Now Potter, I think you'll like what she's written. Sit and listen" he said between chuckles.

"How would you describe your lifestyle?... 'Well, I keep fairly fit. I life on the run does wonders for your waist line.' Is there anything that could perhaps decrease your life expectancy?... 'Oh, there was a little matter of the dark lord trying to off me for a while last year but alls good now. Killed him you see', brilliant Miss Granger. Alright class back to work" said Snape while trying to compose himself. I smiled and returned to my potion while casting sidelong looks at Harry. He looked angry but he'd live, mores the pity.

Sorry for the long wait everyone but I'm back now and hoping to update more often. xxx
