Seamus was coming through the Gryffindor entrance and was looking for someone to share his news with. He saw Harry sitting on the couch doing his homework. "Hey Harry, I have something to show you."
Harry looked up from his homework. "What would that be?"
"It's a party must have. We can use it on Sunday. You know, the day when the teachers will be gone for that meeting in Hogsmeade."
"OK, but isn't it weird that the meeting is on a Sunday?"
"I've heard that it was the only day available."
"Oh. So, this is going to be one big party, isn't it?"
"Yeah. All of the houses are suppose to meet in the Great Hall."
"So, all the other teachers know nothing about this, huh?"
"No, obviously, they don't."
"Well, excuse me."
"Oh come on, Harry, don't go going all girly on me now."
"Whatever. So, what exactly is this 'party must have' anyways?"
"I'm not exactly sure. My brother got it from one of his friends and told me it was the best stuff in the world. It gives you the best feeling. He even showed me how to use it. I'll show you at the party. It's got a weird name though."
"Well, what is it?"
"It's a little thing called cocaine," said Seamus, smiling.
"Did I hear somebody say cocaine?" Dean Thomas walked into the common room at that moment.
"Yeah, what about it?" asked Seamus.
"That's the best stuff in the world! How did you get some? That stuff is so hard to get without it costing an arm and a leg."
"I got it from my brother. He's a squib. He has given me a whole bunch for my birthday. I'm planning to give some to everyone for the party on Sunday night."
"That's going to be sweet! Has anyone figured out a plan to get rid of the remaining teachers?"
"I know somebody's got one, but they won't tell anyone what it is. It's too risky. If anyone of the teachers find out what we are going to do, we will be expelled for sure!"
"No, really! I would think the teachers would join us."
"What do you think Harry?" Seamus turned around and found out Harry was gone. "Harry! HARRY!" Seamus yelled.
"Didn't you see him leave?" asked Dean.
"How could I when my back was turned to him?" said Seamus.
"Oh yeah, well, I have to go and get my homework done. Stupid Snape. I wish we could teach him a lesson. I wish we could embarrass him for once."
"So do I. I'll talk to you later then, Dean."
"Bye Seamus. Can't wait until Sunday. It should be a blast!"
"I can't wait either."
By Friday, everyone knew about the party and the cocaine. They were really excited about trying something new. Even the Slytherins were excited, but they tried their best not to show it. There was only one difficult part. Trying to break all of the spells the teachers would place around the schools. They needed somebody smart, somebody with knowledge, somebody with talent, somebody like…Hermione Granger. If only someone could persuade her into breaking a whole bunch of school rules and face possible expulsion. But who would do such a thing? Whom are the two people who could convince her to do something that drastic? Why, it's Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, of course. Now all they needed was a brilliant plan. Something she couldn't turn down. But what would that be? This was going to be difficult indeed.
