Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story. Darn.
Dedication: Wow! Look at all of my reviews! I don't even know how many there are! This is dedicated to all of you who reviewed! Thank you! Oh, this is also dedicated to one of my favorite characters in book 5 who died (I won't tell you who it is for those of you who haven't finished it). I'm sure that that person would have thought this hilarious.
A/N: Okay. I know. I'm sorry I haven't updated for like two weeks. I had half of this done and then book five came out and I said, "Oh, book, book, book, book!" Then, my internet kind of broke. That wasn't fun. Anyway, I'm really sorry *smack on the head*, but here you go! Thank you for waiting!

All week, the entire school was buzzing about the rumor that the Gryffindors were trying to find the best ways to annoy Professor Snape. They had all thought that it was extremely funny. Thankfully, none of the teachers were informed about this, though several prefects didn't approve of this, including Hermione.
As soon as any of them knew it, it was Saturday. As nine o'clock approached, the Gryffindor tower was filled with cheerful chatter while the students waited for the judges to come down from their dormitory. At exactly nine, Fred and George strolled importantly down the staircase wearing their black Hogwarts robes and brightly striped muggle ties. It was quite a comical sight.
"Attention, please! Attention!" George spoke up.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you all for congregating here for this very important event," Fred began officially. Hermione, who was sitting in a corner reading, then got up from her seat and walked past the twins and up to the girls' dormitory. "Anyway," Fred continued stepping up on a table, "Thank you for all coming to the first chapter of The Top 77 Ways to Annoy Snape contest!" Dozens of people applauded while several others whistled.
"So, without further ado," George added, jumping on the table with his brother, "we would like to begin the humiliation - I - I mean -,"
"- fun," Fred croaked in. "Would one representative from each year please bring the superior judges their list," he said with an air of great importance, Harry found it very difficult not to laugh at this. He could tell that they had planned all of this very well. Ron grabbed their scroll and went to the front of the hall along with Ginny, Denis Creevy, Alicia Spinnet, and several others.
Once they had the full 77 ways to annoy Snape, George began, "The way this is going to work, is that we'll randomly pick a scroll, and we'll read it out loud for everyone."
"Then, we'll pick another one, and so on."
"Is everyone ready?" Once again, the hall broke out into applause.
"Okay. Let's see. This first one was written by the second years." Polite clapping followed this. Fred continued to read the list. "'Number one: Make windows appear in his office, flooding the room with light. Two: Tape a 'kick me' sign to his back. Three: With an invisibility cloak, go into his dungeon at night while he's grading papers, steal his wand, and blow out all of the candles. Four: Send him fluffy pink bunny rabbit slippers for his birthday. Five: Tell him to think happy thoughts. Six: Send him a Valentine's Day card with lots of hearts and bunnies on it. Seven: Ask him what shampoo he uses to keep his hair slick and shinny. Eight: For his birthday, get him conditioner, but not shampoo.' Clever," he added. "'Nine: Buy him robes sporting the Gryffindor colors. Ten: Ask him why he isn't the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.' And finally 'Number Eleven: Introduce him to the wonders of muggle cartoons and sugar.'"
He finished reading and looked up to find that nearly everyone in the hall was smiling if not suppressing giggles. "Well, that was a very good start. Kind of reminds me of when we were in second year. Young,"
"Innocent -,"
"Troublemakers!" Ron shouted out.
"Yes, we were as a matter of fact," Fred smiled as a few people laughed.
"Let's get onto the good stuff," George said, picking up the next piece of parchment. "Here we have the fantastic -,"
"Amazing -,"
"Not to mention the best year there is - Seventh Year!" Several people whistled loudly again. "'Number one: Ask him if he's ever been out on a date. Two: Send him a note saying 'McGonagall likes you' and see if he blushes. Three: If he gets mad, tell him that he needs some 'alone time' to sort out his issues. Four: Give him a kiss on the cheek.'"
"Oh, come on, Angelina," Fred interrupted. "I know you wrote that. Would you really do that?"
"Maybe," she said smugly from the other side of the hall. They had been dating for going on three weeks now.
"Let's continue, after I was so rudely interrupted," George said, clearing his throat. "Five: Constantly hum It's a Small World when you pass him in the hall. Six: Be happy. Seven: Beat Slytherin at quiditch. Eight: Cast a spell on him that will give him a tan." At that, several people sniggered more loudly than they had already been. "Nine: Say, 'Why Grandma, what a big nose you have, and what pale skin you have, and what slimy hair you have.' Ten: Say, 'Who's a wittle potions master? Huh? Huh? You are!' And eleven: Whenever he tell you to do something, always answer with, 'Okey dokie, shlomenokie.'"
"Well, it never ceases to amaze me how brilliantly childish Seventh Year can be," Fred said.
"And we didn't even help them! Good job guys! We may have a winner, that is if something better doesn't come along."
"I don't know. I would like to see Snape with a tan. Well, now let's have the amazing forth years!" Fred said, turning to the next list. "'Number one: Paint a lightning bolt on his forehead while he's sleeping. Two: Wear 'I Love Harry Potter' badges - ask him if he would like one.'"
"Harry! It looks like you've got a fan club over here!"
"'If you're wandering around the school at night and get caught by Snape, point to a corner and shout, 'Look, Professor! There's Potter in an invisibility cloak!' When he turns around - run."
Harry looked panic stricken over at Ron. "Do you think that anyone knows that I do have in invisibility cloak?"
"No, it's just their jokes," Ron told him, although he did look rather nervous himself. They shifted their attention once again to Fred and George.
"'Four: Put a tickling and/or cheering charm on him.' That would be great! Better than the time we flooded his office."
"Oh, sorry. That wasn't us," George said quickly with a wink.
"Five," Fred continued, "Walk around the school in large groups of people singing, 'We love you, Harry, oh yes we do. We love you, Harry, and will be true. When you're not near us, we're blue. Oh, Harry, we love you!' Six: Then sing, 'We hate you, Snape, oh yes we do. We don't hate anyone as much as you. If you come near us, we'll puke. Oh, Snape, we hate you.'" As he finished that section, he asked, "Would anyone like to demonstrate that?"
Instantly, Colin and several other fourth years began singing the tune from the muggle play Bye Bye Birdie. When the choir was done, they took a bow. Several people were rolling on the floor with laughter, including Fred, who had even fallen off of the table.
"I'll just finish for Fred here," George said, trying to stifle his own laughter. "'Seven: Tell him he's not actually wearing black - he's wearing navy blue.' Now we get away from Harry. 'Eight: Never speak English in front of him - always speak French. Nine: Boast about how much you love the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers; Ten: If he tries to give you detention, wave to an invisible Professor Moody and run when he turns around. Finally number eleven: Replace his potions ingredients with I Love Harry Potter badges.' Now we get back to Harry."
By this time, nearly everyone in the hall was crying with silent laughter. Fred had also managed to climb back onto the table with George, but he was still attempting to suppress giggles. "Okay, sorry about that. That's a tough act to follow, but, anyway, on with the Sixth Years. I'll just go through this. 'One: Ask him when was the last time he washed his hair. Two: Before he can take points away from Gryffindor, yell out, 'Ten points from Slytherin!' and see if he gets confused. Three: When he asks a question, shout out the answer and say, 'Ten points to Gryffindor!' Four: Ask him in front of other teachers why he hates you. Five: Get 100% on everything. Six: Save his life. Seven: Win the house cup. Eight: Tell him that you've posted pictures of him on the internet and laugh when he tries to find out what the internet is.'"
"Hey, that's what Dad's researching now isn't it?" George interrupted.
"'Nine: Ask him if he likes Fleur Delacour. Ten: Tell him that Lockhart is coming back to be the assistant potions master. Eleven: If you feel up to it, call him Snapie Wapie.'"
"Well, that was all very nice and good, but now lets get on with the Harry Potter Fan Club's favorite year - Fifth Year." At this, several people cheered.
Fred continued, "'One: Anonymously send him a hat with a stuffed vulture on it during the Christmas feat and watch his face twist. Two: If he talks about you being a dunderhead, say, 'Well, Harry, an eleven year old boy, got past the three-headed dog, and you couldn't do that!' Three: Reenact James saving his life using finger puppets. Make sure to give the Snape puppet a squeaky voice.'"
"Hey, Harry, I didn't know your dad saved Snape's life! Why? He could have finished him off for us!" George called out. He grabbed the list from Fred and continued, "Four: Tell him that Malfoy got switched to Gryffindor and watch his reaction. Five: Tell him that Hermione is better at potions than he is.'"
"Hermione might like that one," Ron said under his breath.
"'Six: Give Malfoy a kiss in front of him.'"
"Well, I suppose that does only refer to girls, doesn't it, Harry? I hope so," Fred added with a shutter.
"Seven: Bring Neville and a hundred boggarts into a room. Have Neville perform the Riddikulus charm, and have Snape watch all of the Snape- boggarts change into Neville's grandmother's clothes.'" He paused as a few people laughed gently. Of course, they had all heard of the boggart incident two years ago. "'Eight: Howl at the moon. Nine: For his birthday, give him a huge peacock feather gill identical to Lockhart's. Ten: Ask him how he lost his Order of Merlin, First Class. Eleven: Ask him if he'll adopt Harry.'" There were several small chuckles when he finished, but not nearly as much as the fourth years.
Fred took the next piece of parchment and spoke, "Now, as Peeves would say, let's get on with the Ickle Firsties! 'One: Follow him around the corridors constantly poking him. Each time he turns around, ask, 'Are you a vampire?'" Oh, very creative! 'Two: Wander into his office one night and see if he has a coffin.' Interesting. 'Three: Wear garlic around your neck to try and ward him off.' Okay," Fred said, sounding exasperated. "Four: Say that werewolves are better than vampires and watch his reaction." At this, the twins both took very deep, annoyed breaths. "Five: Give him blood for his - all right! Do you really think that he's a vampire?!" Fred bellowed as he rounded on the first years. They cowered slightly and one of them nodded.
"Let me see that." George reached for the list. "They're all like that so let's go to the last group: third year! 'One: Give him the number of a good psychiatrist. Two: Think, 'Snape, if you can read my mind, I'd just like to tell you that you're ugly, a git, slimy, etc.,' and see if he does anything. Three: Hang brightly colored banners in his classroom. Four: Ask him if you could play games during class. Five: Flick his nose. Six: Give him a book titled Potions for the Common Idiot. Seven: Ask him if he would like to buy some girl scout cookies. Eight: While wearing an invisibility cloak, give him a good kick. Nine: When Dumbledore asks him to do something and turns his back to the two of you, make motions pointing to the door and mouth "He told you to go. NOW GO!" Watch his reaction. Ten: Mock him at the balls for not having a date.'"
"Sorry, third years, but you won't be going to ball yet, either, so you really can't talk." Fred took the parchment from George. "The very last choice of how to annoy Snape is: Tell him that when you grow up and get old, slimy, and ugly, you want to be just like him!" Everyone let out a good laugh.
"Well, these were all excellent. I had no idea that there were so many twisted minds in the Gryffindor Common Room!" George yelled.
"Well, we're off to decide who wins, so we'll be back in a few minutes!" With that, they left for their dormitory. The room suddenly broke out into extremely loud conversations.
"Do you think we'll win?" Seamus asked eagerly.
"No, Ginny and Colin's group was too good," Neville spoke up.
"I had no idea that Ginny could think of pranks like that. I mean, Fred and George never thought of anything that even came close!" Ron said.
"Maybe they were just too scared to do anything to Snape," Dean said fairly.
"You try telling that to them." Ron pointed to the staircase where Fred and George had just appeared.
"That was quick," said Harry as the twins leaped back onto the table.
"Well, it was unanimous," George said.
"Honestly, though, every one of them was fantastic! It was really a job trying to decide on one. In fact, we'll have to take a leaf out of your book, won't we George?" Fred added.
"Right you are, Fred."
"Without further ado, the winner of the first round of The Top 77 Ways to Annoy Snape contest is the Fourth Years for their musical insults!" Joyful screams erupted from the other side of the hall. Several others looked a little put out, even though more smiled cracked on dozens of faces at the pleasant memory.
"Now, we don't want you to think that you're not all great troublemakers, because you are!" George called out over the screams.
"And I really would have liked to see Snape with a tan!" Fred said. "So we've decided that Seventh Year gets second place!"
"First of all, I would like to say how proud Fred and I are of Ginny. We never knew that you had it in you to think of all of that stuff. You'll be seeing a new master troublemaker when we're gone!"
"So the points are now Second Year with one hundred and Seventh Year with fifty!"
"But we can't leave you with that," George said.
"Of course not, George," Fred added.
"We have chosen a new buddy, or rather buddies, to annoy for next week."
"For next Saturday, we want you to find the top 70 ways -"
"That's ten choices for each year," George interrupted.
"The top 70 ways to annoy Filch and Mrs. Norris!" Several people laughed at the thought, ready to find new ways, and to beat the Fourth and Sixth Years. Fred and George were nearly trampled on by the seventh years when they went to talk to them. Ron, on the other hand, turned back to Harry and the others.
"What do you reckon?"
"Let's get to work. We'll get them this time."
~Okay. Did you like it? For a bonus I'll give you two more that I thought were really good (it was one of my favorites) but I couldn't put them in here because, well, they just didn't make sense.
My favorite ways to annoy Snape: One: Give him a solo in Hogwarts: The Musical. Make him sing "Springtime for Snapie." Two: Buy the WB's 'Snape's Potion Candy' kit. Mix the sugar together during class, and say very loudly and childishly, "Look, I'm a potions master, too!"
Yeah, I love those!!!
I also really like the one about the Harry Potter badges. He, he, he. Well, this is what I need from you: REVIEWS!!! Okay, but I really need ways to annoy Filch and Mrs. Norris. Also, if you would like to see someone be the next "buddy to annoy," I would really appreciate it! Also, I love comments.
So clickity click click click!
