Fuzzy Pink Bunny Slippers
Part Three: I Know What Type Of Slippers You Wear

Harry laughed all the way down to breakfast, where he took his normal seat between Ron and Hermione. "What's up, Harry?" Hermione's eyes narrowed suspiciously. Harry grinned proudly. "I've blackmailed Snape!" Hermione's eyes widened. "You what?!" she gasped. Ron was snickering. "I told him that'd he pay for our misery." Harry looked very proud of himself. "Uh oh, Snape is coming!" hissed Hermione. Snape was storming into the Great Hall, his face contorted in fury. But Harry saw a frightened look pass across his face as well. Harry wolfed down his bacon and toast. "Must go, got to grab my books." He winked at Hermione and Ron, then snuck out of the hall while Snape's back was turned. One by one, the students filed out of the hall. Harry wore his Invisibilty Cloak which had been hidden under his robes. He pulled out his wand and gave it a quick swish. Across the entrance hall wall, in bold letters was

PROFESSOR S. SNAPE: I KNOW WHAT TYPE OF SLIPPERS YOU WEAR!!!

Harry snuck into the boys lavitory, which was had a few other boys in it, including Ron, and pulled off the cloak in a stall. He flushed the toilet and hurried out. Waves of laughter greeted Ron and Harry as they pushed their way into the entrance hall. Ravenclaws, Gryffindors, and Hufflepuffs were laughing hysterically. The Slytherins looked puzzled. Snape came storming into the hall. "What is the meaning of this?!" he roared at the crowd. They fell silent and a few snickered behind their hands. Snape looked up and turned ashen at the sight of the words on the wall. "WHO DID THIS?!" he bellowed. "Now, now Severus. I'm sure it's just a harmless prank." Dumbledore appeared at his side. "To class with all of you!" Dumbledore smiled at them and they hurried off laughing. "POTTER!" bellowed Snape. "It was you! I know it!" he shrieked. A vein on his forehead was throbbing and about to pop. Harry looked shocked. Dumbledore frowned. "Severus, there is no proof Harry did this. Go to class, Harry." Harry bolted down the hall toward Transfiguration.

"Excellent, Harry," Harry and Ron slapped hands as he slid into his seat in Professor McGonagall's room. Professor McGonagall came striding in and stood at the front of the class. All of the boys were grinning and the girls were giggling excitedly, even Hermione. "Yes, yes. It was a very funny joke. Now, onto Transfiguration!" barked Professor McGonagall.

On his way to Care of Magical Creatures, Harry heard a drawling voice call his name. "Potter! Hey Potter!" Draco Malfoy signaled for Crabbe and Goyle to head to class. Ron and Hermione left as well. "I know it was you, Potter," he hissed at Harry. Harry's eyes widened innocently. "What was me?" "The slippers joke." A rare smile slipped across Draco's face. "Bloody brilliant, Potter. I would have never expected you to pull off such a good joke." Harry looked stunned. "But isn't Snape your favorite teacher?" Draco sneered. "I can't respect a man who wears bunny slippers, now can I?" He sailed off toward where Crabbe and Goyle were waiting. Harry pinched himself to make sure what he heard was real and joined the class.

After, Draco walked over to Harry again. "Let me in on the joke, Potter." Harry raised an eyebrow. "Okay, Malfoy." They smirked at each other. "Now, how to piss him off even more." Draco rubbed his hands together gleefully. He had obviously been thinking of ways to make the joke better. "Here's what we'll do, Potter," he lowered his voice and whispered in Harry's ear. "We'll put a live bunny on Professor Snape's desk." Harry burst out laughing. "You have a brilliant mind, you know that Malfoy?" They headed in seperate directions. Harry couldn't wait for Potions that afternoon.

Harry, Draco, Ron, Crabbe, Hermione, and Goyle were the first to arrive at Potions that afternoon. Ron, Draco, and Harry were snickering. Crabbe and Goyle were confused and Hermione was tight lipped: she didn't think it was a good idea to make Snape mad again. They sat down at their desks and waited for more of the class to arrive. Draco pulled a rabbit out his bag, without letting Crabbe and Goyle or the rest of the class see. He took his wand and whispered "Wingardium Leviosa!" The rabbit flew up into the air and landed smack in the middle of Snape's desk. The class began to snicker at the sight of a rabbit knawing on Snape's papers. Harry and Draco grinned at each other. Snape camed sweeping into the room and stopped dead when he saw the bunny rabbit.

"WHO DID THIS?!" he shrieked, looking around wildly. Poor Neville's whole body was twitching. It was no secret Snape hated Neville and that Neville was deathly afraid of him. Snape grabbed Harry, Ron, and Hermione's wands. "Let's just see which one of you did this!" he snapped. He put the tip of his wand to each and said "Prior Incantato!" The last spell performed on all three of their wands was Reparo: the spell that had been working on in Charms class with Professor Flitwick. Snape glowered and threw their wands back. "If I ever find out who is behind this, they will be expelled!" He hissed angrily and stormed to his desk.

Class wasn't pleasant for Gryffindors and Slytherins alike. Snape was in such a foul mood, he screamed at Crabbe when he messed up his potion. The whole class was in shock. They all left the class grumbling about Snape and how it was unfair that he was so cruel. Except for Neville Longbottom. He was blissfully happy. "Snape was too busy insulting Crabbe to even make fun of me!" He practically skipped back to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione, Ron, and Harry all burst out laughing.



Will Snape figure out Harry and Draco are behind the joke? How will they blackmail him, without Snape knowing it's them? Chapter four is coming soon! *cheers*
