And here's the Special New Year Edition...I know my last chapter sucked, but I'll try harder, I'll even make it my New Year Resolution...

The Gryffindors / Slytherins had substitution with Professor Binns; they all marched into class, chattering and laughing. The transparent professor wheezed at them in his dull monotone, "Quiet, please sit down and take out some work..."
The two houses automatically split up, with Gryffindors on one side and Slytherins on the other, facing them. The professor sat down heavily in his seat and proceeded to mark papers, occasionally coughing and glancing suspiciously at the class.
Hermione instantly took out some homework, Ron and Harry instantly became bored and stared around for some sort of entertainment, and their eyes fell on the unfortunate professor. He started to dose, and his head would s-l-o-w-l-y tip forward until it touched the desk, then Professor Binns would snap his head back up when it made contact and snort.
Harry and Ron watched these developments with interest and when the professor dozed and his head actually stayed on the desk, this provided them with another wicked past time; Ron rummaged in his pocket and produced a handful of multi-coloured pellets.
"What's that?" whispered Harry, so not to wake the professor up
Ron shrugged, "No idea, I found them when we were going to the station to come to school."
"They look like..." Harry scrutinized them, "...the balls that Dudley used to put in his BB pellet gun."
"Yeah, well, they were scattered all over the place, so I picked some up, so did Fred and George."
"So what do we do with them?" asked Harry
"Let's..." and he hurriedly whispered his idea
Harry nodded in agreement and in a few moments, both boys were trying to throw the pellets into the professor's ear, when the pellets had run out, Harry declared that he had won. Ron, disgruntled, muttered that Harry had all that training from Quidditch.
They lapsed into boredom again, until Harry reminded Ron that he still had the library book they had used earlier, Ron urged him to take it out and they eagerly spread it out between themselves and conversed in whispers over it.
Ron pointed out a spell, "Look at this, 'Huge Hair-loss'" and they cackled at the description and decided to use it.
"But on who?" wondered Harry aloud
"Them" Ron nodded his head at the two bodyguards flanking Malfoy; Crabbe and Goyle, the perfect targets as they probably wouldn't realize that they had been hexed.
Harry and Ron pulled their wand from their robes, held them in concealed positions (they hoped), aimed and muttered the hexes simultaneously, two identical blue sparks immerged from their wands and floated casually in the direction of Crabbe and Goyle.
When the sparks connected with their target, Crabbe and Goyle started slightly (In which a few hairs floated out) shrugged and composedly resumed picking their noses.
Harry and Ron watched delightedly as every movement of the two idiots, even the slightest, caused a few hairs to fall out. As time progressed, the spells power increased and the hair started to drift out in clumps. Goyle and Crabbe were still completely unaware of what was happening and only realized that something was awry when Malfoy tapped them on the shoulders gingerly and pointed to the fallen strands, which had accumulated considerably.
Goyle and Crabbe jumped up with frightened grunts and rubbed their heads furiously, which effectively removed the last of the hair and left them completely bald. By now, the attention of the class was fixed firmly on this scene. Malfoy was shrieking and backing away with a horrified expression, Pansy Parkinson went into hysterics and the Gryffindors were laughing at the utterly confused expression on Crabbe and Goyle's faces.
Ron and Harry were laughing hysterically as they watched Crabbe and Goyle frantically scratching their heads, as if searching for hair, and seeming to realize that there wasn't any, ripped off their robes and shirts to gaze under their armpits and scrape at the grimy but hairless skin.
Hermione watched this, torn between amusement and disapproval. Professor Binns woke up with a start and stared, bemused, at the two shirtless boys who had started to undo their pants to stare at...well, you know what.
Suddenly, the bell rang and the class poured out, all eager to get away before Goyle and Crabbe had a chance to complete their revolting undertaking. Ron, Harry and Hermione continued down the corridor, still wiping away their tears.

Thanks for everyone's really nice reviews, I know this was supposed to be a romance only, but I'll add something definite next chapter. I was in the mood for comic relief today. Please review and tell me what you think.
