It was a cloudy day at Hogwarts. Harry was walking down the corridor, looking over his shoulder suspiciously. He had a feeling that Draco was planning something big as revenge, and he wanted to get him back first. Harry rushed the rest of the way down the hall, and slipped into an empty classroom. He jumped at a noise at the other end of the room.

"Is that you, Ron, Hermione?" he called out.

His two friends poked their heads out from behind a desk. "It's us," Hermoine whispered. "We thought you might be a teacher."

Ron came out from behind the desk. "Why can't we just have our meeting in one of the common rooms?" he asked.

"Because Draco will probably be spying on us," replied Hermione as she sat opposite Harry. "Now, let's get to business."

"Right," said Harry. "We need something big and daring to get that Draco back for the green goo. Any ideas? I've been having trouble thinking of anything."

"What about stealing his clothes while he's showering?" suggested Ron.

"I have it," announced Hermione. She held up a long piece of rope with a loop tied at one end. "This will get him for sure." Harry and Ron stared at her waiting for her to continue. Hermione sighed. "We set a trap so that he gets snared by the rope and is left hanging upside down for everyone to see!"

"Brilliant!" cried Harry. The three friends left the classroom and ran to the courtyard, near where Draco usually sat. They made sure not to let anyone see as they laid the rope on the ground and covered it with grass. Harry and Ron ran up to a spot on the wall with one end of the rope and looped it over a hook, while Hermione stayed on the ground to give a signal. They waited.

Just then, Draco and his cronies came through the gate. Hermione watched closely as Draco came nearer to the loop on the ground. Just as he stepped into it, Hermione waved her hands, and Harry and Ron pulled hard on the rope. It tightened around Draco's ankle and hoisted him high into the air. He let out a loud "Ack!" as he was strung upside down in the middle of the courtyard.

"You let me down! I know it was you three!" he yelled as Harry, Ron and Hermione gathered with other students, laughing at Draco's flailing. They ran off snickering, leaving one very annoyed Malfoy hanging by his ankle in front of all of Hogwarts.
