"Oh man, what a feast!" said harry, stuffing his face.
"Don't be such a pig, Harry!"
He grinned with a mouth full of mashed potatoes.
She shook her head. "You love to taunt me."
He nodded, unfolding a note that had been passed down the table. Hermione read it over his shoulder:
Target: Snape's head
Weapon: Double chocolate cake
Mission: Duh!
Hey, u only live once, guys. When's the next time you'll see Snape plastered with sixteen pieces of cake.
We knew you'd understand!
Gred + Forge
Harry passed the note to Ginny, and looked up and hermione with a mischievious and pleading look. A look full of possibilities.
"Well... we do only live once..."
"That's the spirit, hermi" he said. Harry flashed a thumbs up at the twins.
They all reached for a piece of cake.
"One" said Lee.
Fred continued. "Two"
"Three!" they yelled.
SPLAT! The hall errupted in laughter as sixteen large pieces of double chocolate cake hit the potions master in the back of the head.
"Food fight!" yelled Seamus and Dean, sending a dozen hot buttered rolls to hit Cornelius Fudge upside the head.
"Albus! Stop this nonsense!"
But the Headmaster was too busy throwing olives at the Ravenclaws.
Harry picked up the last piece of cake.
"No, Harry!" shrieked Hermione, backing away. "This dress is dry clean on-"
He decked her right in the face, missing her dress.
"Thanks" she said, wiping chocolate out of her eyes.
He kissed her. "Mmmm. The house elves really outdid themselves."
She reached back, so he couldn't see, and grabbed a handful of green jello. She washed his hair with it.
"Oooohh, don't mess with the hair.!"
"It's green. Matches your eyes."
Suddenly some trifle came out of nowhere, glass bowl and all, knocking the wind out of Harry.
"What the hell?"
There stood Malfoy.
Watch where you're throwing that trifle, Malfoy" said Hermione, flinging a hand full of spaghetti at him.
Harry jumped up on the table, and grabbed a baguette. He held it out in front of him like a sword.
"En garde!"
Malfoy followed his suit and the two battled for several minutes.
"Take that!" cried Harry triumphantly as he knocked Draco's battered baguette out of his hand.
Draco wheeled, and reached for the six inch carving knife from the turkey platter. It glinted as he picked it up.
Hermione screamed. "Draco, put the knife down!"
Harry backed away, but went too far, and fell to the floor painfully, with a crack.
"Harry, get out of his way!"
Draco jumped down on top of him, a maniac glint in his eyes.
Harry tried to push himself away, but his leg was obviously broken, bent back painfully. (Okay, that may not sound realistic, falling off a table and breaking your leg, but if you land the wrong way... all I can say is ouch.)
"Don't Draco!" yelled Hermione as he brought the knife up. "Don't please, don't!"
Harry looked up at her. Something on her forehead had begun to glow. She was envelopped in light.
"Don't Draco!" she screamed. A ray of light shot out, and hit Draco. He turned to stone.
The hall was deathly quiet. Finally, Harry broke the silence.
"Uh... Herm? What was that?" he winced in pain.
"I don't know." The mark on her forehead had faded to a silvery color, barely visible.
Proffesor Dumbledore stepped foreward. "What happened. He poked at Draco. "Except for Mr. Malfoy being turned into stone, that is." To be honest, he didn't look terribly disappointed.
Hermione told the story. The Headmaster shook his head. Poppy kindly take care of Harry, Minerva, take care of our... statue, and Hermione come with me. I have to check out that curious mark." He turned to the rest of the students. "Go back to your common rooms. Any parents can accompany you there."
Everyone did as they were told and Hermione went with Dumbledore.
********************************************************************************
"What is it?"
"I have no idea, my dear." Said Dumbledore, after he finished examining her mark, which was quickly fading. "I can't even imagine."
"Can I still go home?" she asked.
"I guess. I still don't think it's a good idea, but you should go. You may go see Harry now if you wish."
"Thanks." She turned to leave, but paused. "Uh, professor?" she supressed a giggle. "Will you be able to, uh, fix Malfoy?"
Dumbledore laughed. "I don't know. But there's a good chance he'll be gracing his mother's rose garden. What ever you did, Hermione, I may not be able to fix."
"oops." Said Hermione as she slipped out the door.
********************************************************************************
"You okay?" asked Hermione hugging him.
"He's fine." said Sirius, in the hospital wing with them. "Madam Pomfrey fixed it in a minute."
"Any chance you're going to stay and nurse me back to health?" aske harry, putting on the puppy dog eyes.
"Harry, you can walk. You're healed I'm going home."
"I gotta go" said Sirius. "But I never gave you guys your present for kicking Voldie's butt." He threw them a box and left.
Harry opened the box. The note on top read:
Me and Moony worked on this 4 ya...
He pulled out a very large piece of parchment.
"Let me guess." Said Hermione. "Volume 2 of the Marauder's map."
A second note fell out.
We started this after we graduated, but never finished it. Things got ......... well busy. Anyways, It's a map of Hogsmede, Hogwarts, and the grounds, and all of London. Just say, I solemnly swear I'm up to something, and what area you want to see. To wipe it out, say, Hee Hee Hee.
Have fun.
Padfoot and Mooney.
P.S. It's enhanced! You can see! Live!
"I solemnly swear I'm up to something. Hogwarts grounds." The lines spread across the large page.
"Hey look!" said Hermione giggling. "Sirius and Arabella are leaving together!." It was like a movie. You looked somewhere and it zoomed in automatically, and a picture came up, like footage from a video tape.
"Wow. This should come in handy." Said Harry.
Hermione's parents entered the room. "Come on hermione, we're leaving. I'd rather not stay the night. We'll meet you in the entrance hall in half an hour."
"Okay" sighed Hermione as they left.
"I thought you weren't leaving until tomorrow" whined Harry.
"We weren't. Come help me finish pack."
They walked up to the common room.
Harry collapsed on her bed.
"Careful!" she cried. "You'll get green jello on my quilt!"
He sat up. "Fine."
She grabbed a few more thing out of her dresser and closed her suitcase.
"Hey, I don't want to go. My parents are going to smother me. I'd really rather be here with you."
She jumped on the bed with him. "Give me a kiss"
"Gladly."
********************************************************************************
There was a coughing noise behind them. Ron stood there.
He laughed. "I don't know how Harry's going to breath while you're gone. You seem to be his main source of oxygen for him."
"Shut up Ron."
"Your parents are waiting."
"Okay" She gave Harry a goodbye kiss.
She stood up and grabbed her suitcase.
"See you guys later." She said, giving Ron a hug.
"Think to us." Said harry. "It saves phone bills."
She laughed. "Don't let him do anything stupid, K Ron? Oh, and tell me if they manage to prevent Malfoy from being a lawn gnome."
"Will do!"

K guys, sorry I haven't posted for a while. But a guarantee, something very, well, exciting happens in the next part.
And I know you're all wondering about the mark.
Hint: Think back to when Hermi was in the lake.

Thanks to all my reviewers, they'll be a tribute 2 you in the next part.
