Disclaimer- I do not own anything but the plot, blah blah blah.

The Marauders Map and Snape's Chicken-like Qualities!

Harry jumped up at the thought of Wormtail putting a curse on him. He hadn't thought of that.

"Well we have to catch him. Next time I will use my map to see if he is here."

Harry talked very fast and the headmaster could barely make out what he was saying. He did hear something about a map though. The same map the Lupin in fact was talking about earlier.

"Harry, slow down a second," advised Dumbledore. "I heard you say a map?"

Harry turned red. He forgot that he didn't know about the marauders map. He tried to change the subject.

"Yeah," Harry quickly said. "Anyway-"

"What map is this?" Dumbledore cut him off."

Harry didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell the Headmaster about the map that his dad and his group made. Harry just looked up at Dumbledore with an innocent look.

"Oh it is just a map of Hogwarts."

Professor Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.

"May I see it? I did not know such map existed. Please go get it," said the headmaster.

Harry left the office to go to his dormitory to retrieve the map. He really didn't want to show it to Dumbledore yet. He soon grabbed it and decided what he was going to do. In five minutes he was back in the office he was previously in.

"Um.er.I don't think it is working for some reason," Harry said as he handed the blank piece of parchment to the older man.

Harry hoped that Dumbledore would not guess that he was not telling the truth.

Dumbledore looked suspicious and said "Reveal yourself to Professor Dumbledore."

Harry was shocked. How did the Headmaster know how it worked? Harry was doomed.

The Parchment replied:

Professor Dumbledore got the map. What a shame. At least he doesn't know how to use it. -prongs

Oh come on Prongs, it is professor Dumbledore we are talking about. We have to let him see it. What if we get expelled? -Moony

What if he has it after we are expelled or already have graduated? -Padfoot

Don't be stupid. Just reveal yourself. -Wormtail

Dumbledore was watching the parchment curiously when suddenly all the writing disappeared and a map appeared.

"Ahh, I see the Marauders have given you the map. I know you knew how to use it," Dumbledore told Harry.

"Well you see. er.um." Harry stuttered as he tried to explain about telling him it didn't work.

"Don't worry about it Harry. How long ago did you receive this map?"

"In my third year."

"Who gave it to you?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Harry went red once again but didn't say anything.

"Don't worry about it Harry." Dumbledore whispered after seeing the look on Harry's face. "This could come in handy. You may hold on to this but I want you to look out for peter."

Harry nodded and thanked him then left. He was so tired. So much happened that day.

The next morning Ron and Seamus were talking.

"Harry we are going to play a prank on Snape but we want to know what to do," whispered Ron.

Harry was still thinking about last night's conversation with Professor Dumbledore but then smiled.

"I have the perfect idea," said Harry with an evil grin.

"What is it?" asked Seamus.

"Well here is what we do," said Harry as he broke off in a whisper. Harry had so much on his mind that he thought a little bit of fun might do some good for him.

Suddenly they all starting laughing.

"That is a great idea mate"

Harry left and snuck into the potions classroom. He stole a bottle of potion that was exactly what Harry wanted and slipped it into his cloak. Then Harry made his way toward the kitchen and tickeled the pear to get in.

He saw Dobby making breaking.

"Hello Dobby," Harry greeted.

"Harry Potter sir, what can dobby do for you?"

"I need a favor. I need you to slip the contents of this potion into Professor Snapes drink."

Harry gave dobby a yellow sock and looked down at Dobby.

Dobby gave him a confused look but nodded.

Harry left to meet for breakfast in the great hall.

He saw Seamus and Ron and Hermione and suddenly started laughing.

"I guess that means you did it mate?" Asked Ron.

"Yes I did," said Harry still laughing.

"Did what?" Hermione yelled.

"You will see," Seamus told her.

The four watched Snape sit down at the head table trying not to laugh. Snape unfortuanatly saw the four staring at them and they suddenly looked away. They watched, as the food appeared just waiting for Snape to take a sip of his drink. Then he did.

Snape's Hair started to turn white and his arms sprouted feathers. Then Snape stood up and started pecking at his food. Snape looked confused but couldn't stop.

The four started to laugh so hard they fell off their chair. Snape saw them but couldn't stop pecking at his food.

Soon the whole table was laughing and the other house tables were laughing. Even most of the Slytherins were laughing uncontrollably.

Dumbledore waved his wand at Severus and Snape sat down.

"POTTER, WEASLEY, GRANGER, FINNEGAN!!!!!!" Snape yelled at the top of his lungs.

The four stopped laughing and walked up to the head table. They looked scared and they tried not to laugh.

The whole school was watching as the four made their way up looking both scared and amused.

"You did this!" screamed Snape.

They didn't say anything.

"Go to the dungeons now!"

The four walked out of the great hall with all eyes on them. When they got out they started to laugh. Everybody but Hermione that is.

"What if we get expelled?" Hermione yelled.

We wont get expelled for a silly prank. Besides you weren't even involved.

"Then why am I out here with you lot?" she screamed even louder.

Sorry Mione. We should have never told you about it. The reason he knows its us was because we were staring at him and we laughed first," apologized Harry.

They made there way to the dungeons and waited outside the door. Snape soon appeared.

I wish I could expel you but the Headmaster decided that he wants to deal with you lot, Snape hissed with fury in his voice.

When they got to the Headmasters office 10 minutes later they saw the old wizard sitting on a chair behind a big table. Apparently he has left breakfast early.

The four sat down in separate chairs awaiting their punishment.

"May I say something?" asked Hermione.

"Yes." I wasn't involved with this at all. I promise I just found out when it happened."

The other three rolled their eyes but nodded.

"Ok Hermione. You may go." Dumbledore said.

Hermione left leaving the three in the office.

"Well, whose ideas was this?"

Harry decided to take all the blame and spoke up.

"It was all my idea. They had nothing to do with it either. I just told them about it when I sat down. They really shouldn't be punished," said Harry with his face getting redder and redder as he spoke.

Dumbledore looked surprised and grinned a little. "Is this true?"

The two looked at Harry and nodded guiltily and left.

"Well Mr. Potter, what do you have to say for yourself? Professor Snape is very mad right now."

Harry looked at the ground not knowing what to say.

"Since he is so mad I told him I would handle your punishment. I know you would not be able to handle one of Snape's punishments at this time."

Harry looked grateful.

"Sir, it was just a harmless prank."

"Harry I know students play pranks on the potion master but this one got out of hand. It was also easy to suspect who did it because you were laughing so hard."

Harry grinned guiltily.

"Well I guess you punishment is we have to continue occlumency lessons in my office 4 days a week."

Harry groaned. "But I thought you said I didn't need them anymore?"

Well that was when you went to the deatheater meetings and were trusted. Now you certainly are not trusted. Be in my office tomorrow at 7.

Harry went back to his common room and got the things he needed and went to his class. He had potions.

A/N Well I know this chapter was pretty long but I just wanted to add some humor to the story. I hope you don't mind! ( Next Harry goes to Potions to see the one he just pulled a prank on! What will happen?
