1 The Pranks on Professor Snape

Chapter Six

By Fizzyglitter

D/C: Ok, as I said in the previous chapters, if you are a proper Harry Potter fan/fanatic, then you probably know that I don't own these characters. If you don't know I don't own these characters… well… I don't!

A/N: Ok! The *big* chapter six. Wow, I'm putting a lot of chapters into this. I haven't done a chapter hp fic before. ( So, keep reading, I'm sure, it will get more complicated. . . sorta.

Rrrrrgh… I am so annoyed with my Harry Potter computer game… can't get to Herbology. Wow, that was relevant… I'll start the chapter.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, his diary, is in his drawer secret compartment, and the key is in his book… too easy! Way too easy! And he doesn't even know that he gave out the information! Ingenious. Fred, George, you really need to start on the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, they're going to make a fortune. Furthermore, I think you should get your own shop in Hogsmeade when you graduate. I'm serious!" Ron exclaimed.

"Awww, thank you Ickle Ronnickins!"

"Shut up…"

They had all decided that they were going to swipe his diary. The whole school was already talking about Trelawney + Snape. The whole school found it rather amusing, however, they fell silent whenever Trelawney or Snape was near. Which was quite smart… Snape was in a rage. He'd totally flipped. He'd heard what had happened from students passing by, whom didn't know he was near. He was in a fury… most students were steering far clear from him.

*~*~*~*~*

"So, when are we going to take the diary?"

"Tomorrow night, after they've locked up. It should be perfect timing."

Hermione was looking at them, tapping her foot, with her arms crossed, looking quite stern and remarkably like Professor McGonagall.

"Don't look at me like that Hermione." Ron told her.

"Well, I can't help it! I can't believe you're doing all this. You'll be as bad as Malfoy soon! But then again, even he wouldn't be able to pull anything off THIS BIG!"

"It must show we're better than him then." Ron grinned. Hermione found this increasingly annoying.

She sighed angrily and stormed off to the girls' dormitory.

Ron picked up his quill to make some plans… but it seemed to be a little… vandalised.

"HERMIONE!" he yelled.

Hermione came storming back, "What?" she snapped.

"Your horrible cat has DONE IT AGAIN!"

"What has poor Crookshanks done…"

"Ruined my quill! My Best Quill! The one I got from my birthday! The best quill I own! My favourite! My… my… my… my quill!"

Harry, Fred and George left them to bicker, whilst they prepared for the next prank.

*~*~*~*~*

It was the next morning.

Hermione and Ron had pretty much yelled the common room down. Everyone had retreated when they started to fight, edging away from them so as not to disturb. They seemed to have come to a truce though. But Ron was still angry, and Hermione was well aware. She was keeping Crookshanks away from Ron, however in vain. Because Crookshanks kept being a pain… (A/N! Hey, Rhymed! Heh… hah… hmmm…. Let's get back to it…).

"I can't believe you let your cat roam the school like this, and even when it's vandalising private property!" Ron whispered furiously.

"Crookshanks didn't mean to, did you Crookshans?" she said to the ginger cat, stroking it.

Ron sighed, exasperated. He then made some annoyed noises and started to work on his homework with his rather tattered best quill.

"When today are we going to take the diary?" Ron asked Harry.

"This morning sometime, I'm guessing. Is that right Fred?"

"Right as!"

"Good. Shall we do this now? Or are we going to sit around all morning, wondering what time of morning we should do this at?" Ron inquired.

"Well, that would be a good idea? Or shall we do it at past eleven?" George said sarcastically. "What do you think Fred?"

"I think we should go around past twelve!"

"That's not even morning…"

"Oh well! We'll just have to wait!"

Ron sighed and got up to get his wand. Hermione did also. Harry smiled, and walked after them to get his wand.

They crept down to the dungeons, Harry wielding the Marauders Map.

"Anyone ahead Harry?"

"Nope… not yet. Let's hope not, anyway."

"Good."

They crept on.

"Anyone ahead Harry?"

"Would you stop asking me that? You've been asking me that for the last five minutes – every minute!"

"Sorry, well is there anyone?"

"Uh oh…"

"That's not a good uh oh…"

"Filch is ahead… get aside!"

They threw themselves aside, into a secret passageway covered by a tapestry.

"You never told me about this one, Fred!" George whispered furiously.

"Everyone's got their secrets…"

"Shhh!" Hermione said angrily, putting her finger to her lips. They both hushed up a bit, although unwillingly.

"Can you smell anyone, my sweet? They're around here somewhere, I could hear them!"

It was Filch. He'd actually heard them. Mrs Norris meowed.

"Yes? You can smell them? Where are they, my sweet?"

Hermione made an annoyed sound, and used her wand to draw a circle around them which turned into a bubble.

"They can't hear, or smell us, whilst we're in this bubble."

"Thanks Hermione!" Ron looked like he was going to hug her, but he held himself back.

Hermione looked quite happy with herself.

"Where are they, my sweet?"

Mrs Norris was sniffing around her.

"Meow…"

"No? You can't find them anymore?"

"Meow."

"Oh well, we'll get them next time."

They crept off.

"Gosh, he sounds like that Gollum from the muggle mobee, lord of the rings… 'My Preciousssssss…'"

Hermione laughed. "Ron, it's Movie… yes he does sound like Gollum… scary!"

"My precioussssssssssssss…my sssweeeeeeeet…." Ron imitated.

Hermione was laughing so hard. "Stoppit Ron!"

"Oi, we have to get on with it!" Fred reminded them.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Hermione said, stopping laughing, but still grinning.

Hermione reversed the bubble spell and they crept out of the passageway.

"Check your map, Harry!" Hermione whispered.

"All clear… let's go"

They crept right into the potions classroom, and looked at the desk.

"This is it… we're going to be famous." Ron whispered.

They all walked to the desk, and Harry fished in the right drawer, and found 'Fungi, and its properties in potions.' "Got it."

"Great. Now for the secret compartment."

They all looked in the drawer next to it.

"Where is the compartment?"

"Good question, Hermione…" Ron answered.

Harry searched through the drawer, and he saw a little part of the drawer that didn't look like it should be there, like it was glued onto the drawer. He rubbed his finger over it and gasped.

"Found it."

"Wow… that's really cool!"

Harry had revealed the keyhole.

"Got the key?" Harry held out his hand.

Hermione put the key in his hand.

"Thanks…" he put the key to the lock, and twisted. The compartment opened. Inside, was a green diary with gold letters painted on it 'Snape's Diary.'

"Wow… we got it… let's lock this again and put the key back where it was… same page, same book… he might not notice that it's gone."

"Good idea…"

The five turned around.

It was Malfoy.

A/N: So there you go! I think I just gave you a cliff-hanger didn't I? My gosh. I said to myself that I'd never give my readers cliff-hangers! (Since I hate them so much). But. Hey. I guess I didn't keep my promise. Mwahahaha… ahem!

So, Malfoy found out what they're doing! He found that the five were doing all the pranks that raged Snape. What will happen next? Will he tell Snape? (Wow, I'm talking like someone for a tv soapie… scary!) Hoped you liked this chapter!

Keep Tuned. And Review Please!
