Harry and Ron both woke to the sound of their alarm clocks. They both jumped out of bed and dressed faster than you could say, "is that the snitch?"

They washed and brushed their teeth, and shot out of the boys dorm before the other boys in the even had time to register they were gone.

As they ran down to the Great Hall for breakfast, they speedily conversed about the upcoming event. "So....what time...do you think.....Slytherin will be up for breakfast....?" Harry managed to get out between deep puffed out breaths.

"I don't know......hopefully....not before......everyone else arrives...to see it all happen....." Was Ron's reply.

For both Harry and Ron, having grown immensely over the previous 7 years at Hogwarts, and both having taken part in Quidditch for their house, making them incredibly strong and powerful, it didn't take them long to get for their common room, down to the lower floors of the castle.

They finally reached the staircase that lead to the entrance hall, as the door to the Great Hall opened to allow students in for breakfast.

Harry and Ron took up their usual seats at the Gryffindor table and started to pile food onto their plates. It was safe to say that both were feeling a little nervous.

Gradually the Hall started to fill up with more students ready to face the day of lessons. At 8:30, Hermione entered the Hall with Ginny at her side, followed by Dean and Seamus, who seemed rather engrossed in their conversation about how Quidditch was better than football- or so Seamus believed- until they spotted Harry and Ron sitting at the table, having finished their breakfast.

"Alright there mate" Dean smiled as he sat down opposite the two boys. " You left early this morning?

Anything wrong?"

"Oh no." Harry hastily replied.

"Guilt starting to kick in?" Hermione uttered, as she took her place next to Ron.

"What ever do you mean?" Ron kissed his girlfriend on the cheek and gave her an innocent smile, to which Hermione couldn't help but smile back.

Seamus sat down on the right side of Dean, while Ginny sat down on the left.

"Do I smell or something?" Seamus asked confused and began to sniff him self-all over.

"Ew Dean that's gross" Hermione scrunched up her nose. "Ofcourse you don't smell. If you did we'd tell you. Why do you ask anyway?"

"Well..." He began... "There is plenty of room next to me here" He indicated to the empty space next to him. "Yet Ginny still prefers to sit over there." He now pointed to where Ginny had placed herself. Ginny rolled her eyes. Harry laughed.

"You fool. Leave my sister alone." Ron barked.

Everyone knew that Seamus fancied Ginny. Ginny however tried to pretend he didn't exist.

"Oh Ginny." Seamus cooed. "Come sit next to your old buddy Seam"

Harry laughed again and earned himself a murderous glare from Ginny.

"No thanks. I'm fine over here actually." Ginny turned and began to pile her plate with food. Seamus pouted and pretended to feel hurt, but the pancakes were just too tempting, so he gave up and he too began to pile his plate with food.

The group hadn't been long into their meal when they heard the most monstrous explosion coming from the direction of the dungeons.

Hermione immediately looked towards Ron and Harry, who were smiling with glee at each other. "What in Merlin's name was that?" She shrieked.

Ron turned to his girlfriend and answered: "My dear. Our plan has taken effect. Now let us wait to see the damage." He smirked and looked at Harry again. Harry- Hermione noticed- looked like all his birthdays had come at once.

The Great Hall was in an uproar. Teachers were trying to calm students down. Several had feinted claiming World War 3 had begun. Others were in tears screaming things such as: "Voldemort has come to take over the school" or "Death eaters have come to suck out my soul"

This made Harry and Ron laugh. They were almost in tears rolling around on their benches, when the door to the Great Hall flew open and Neville Longbottom came speeding into the room and made his way over to the Gryffindor table, a look of pure horror on his face.

He took up the space next to Seamus and tried to catch his breath.

"What's wrong Nev?" Seamus asked, noting the look on his face and feeling somewhat worried.

"I've just seen Malfoy. He didn't look too happy. Infact , he looked about ready to kill."

"Where did you see him?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.

Hermione looked at the two boys in wonder. 'I might have known this had something to do with him.'

"Down in the dungeons. I was down there looking for Trevor, he's got himself lost again, any way, one glance at Malfoy and I knew I didn't want to run into him. So I made my way as fast as I could up here. I don't know where he is now but he looked like he was covered in some kind of green and purple slime."

Ron and Harry couldn't have looked more pleased with themselves if you'd told them they'd been made honouree members of the Chudley cannons and had won the world cup.

Hermione was about to ask what the two boys had used to sabotage the Slytherins, when the door to the Great Hall was flown open for the second time that morning, and there standing in the door way, looking homicidal was Malfoy, as well as a group of other Slytherins- Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, and Blaise. Neville was right. They were all covered in what looked like green and purple slime, and Malfoy, on closer inspection, was beginning to sprout rather nasty beet root red boils all over his face.

"What is that stuff?" Hermione enquired, still not taking her eyes of the group standing in the doorway.

"God knows" Was Ron's reply. "Found it in one of the cupboards in Herbology. We read the label though. No lasting damage it said. Pity really. It's almost an improvement to Malfoy's face." Harry was shaking with laughter, and Ron had to stifle his giggles with his hand over his mouth.

Once the initial shock was over, the Great Hall burst into fits of laughter themselves. They didn't stop infact until Dumbledore was on his feet at the teacher's table and asking for silence.

Once the whole school had quietened down, Dumbledore asked: "Now. Mr Malfoy, Miss Parkinson, if you would be so kind as to explain what is going o-"

"IT WAS HIM!"

Dumbledore was cut off as Malfoy bellowed across the entire hall, and pointed his long slim index finger at Harry.

"I'm sorry?" Dumbledore remained calm.

"IT.WAS.HIM!" Harry feigned innocence until Malfoy marched his way across the room and grabbed Harry by the shirt collar, pulling him up from his seat.

"YOU. FILTHY.MUDBLOOD LOVING PRICK" Malfoy, underneath all the slime, was turning an odd shade of maroon.

"What the fuck are you talking about Malfo-"

"YOU KNOW BLOODY WELL WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. YOU DID THIS"

"Hey, leave him alone." Ron was now on his feet.

"Don't YOU start with me Weasel. I know you were in on this too."

Draco, like Harry and Ron, had grown a lot over the 7 years at school. He had received his growth spurt after them, however he now stood taller than both of them, at 6ft 3 and in his current state, looked like a cannibal dragon on death row. Harry wasn't ashamed to say he was quite scared of him right now.

"Look, just put him down." Hermione uttered behind them, slightly scared.

"Piss off mudblood this has nothing to do with you"

"HEY! Don't talk to her like that" Ron yelled, pushing Malfoy so hard, he let go of Harry and fell to the floor. After regaining his composure, he launched himself at Ron in a rugby tackle and the two began to roll around on the floor, fists flying in all directions.

"Get him Ron" Yelled Seamus.

"Harry do something" Ginny shrieked, she looked on the verge of tears. Seamus noticed this and pushed past Dean to try and comfort her.

"Get off me you fool. Help Ron"

"Ah yes." Seamus jumped over the table and together, he and Harry grabbed hold of Ron, and pulled him out of the fight, just as Crabbe and Goyle appeared on the scene and took a hold of Draco.

Draco straightened himself up and glared at the Gryffindors. "You'll pay or this you foul excuses for human beings"

"Now Mr Malfoy that is quite enough." Professor McGonalgal appeared on the scene, closely followed by Snape and Dumbledore.

"Now, you Slytherins will go up to the infirmary immediately. Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, you will go straight to my office as soon as breakfast is finished. Understood?"

"Yes Professor." They said in unison.

Draco shot the Gryffindor one last look before he and the other Slytherins left the hall, in a flash on black billowing robes.

Ron, Harry and Seamus all sat down next to each other while Dean, Ginny and Hermione looked on in amazement.

"Though I must say that was rather a good joke you played there.." Dean began, although seeing the look Hermione was giving him he changed he mind as off what to say. "You guys are gonna be in some deep shit with McGonalgal when she gets to you guys"

Harry and Ron could only stare at the plates. Nothing was said. Nothing needed to be said. Until Seamus lightened the mood.

"So Ginny, did you see me getting my hands dirty back there. Bet you've changed your mind about me now huh?"

Ginny rolled her eyes and the others laughed. Harry then said: "Did you see the looks on their faces. That was priceless. Even if we do get expelled, it was worth it just to see that."

Hermione and Ginny opened their mouths to speak but thought better of it. Harry and Ron exchanged smiles, then stood to go and find McGonalgal, a few cheers followed them as the left the Great Hall.
