A/N: I'm sorry I haven't been updating often. I've been REALLY busy with TAKS. (which is a test that I NEED to pass in order to move up to the next grade level.)

Disclaimer: I don't own HP.. what more can I say?

As Hermione and the Weasleys left the Great Hall, Remus stared at them incredulously. No one had ever dared to hex a Marauder. But then again, they were new and didn't know how things worked around here. Poor, ignorant Myoniny… Remus thought sadly. It's not likely that Sirius will forget this.

It was then that James chose to revive Sirius. The first words that came out of his mouth were quite harsh. "I'll kill her!" He said menacingly. "How dare she hex me?"

Remus chuckled and James made a reasonable statement. "Aww, come off it, Sirius. You're just mad because she is the one girl in the whole school who isn't madly in love with you." Sirius looked affronted at his comment. "I'm sorry, mate, but she didn't seem all that interested in you either." He countered, watching as James ruffled his hair up. As he heard what Sirius had said, he stopped messing with his hair and grinned sheepishly.

"I know," he said nonchalantly. He quickly glanced at Lily and everyone at the table knew why he didn't mind Myoniny not liking him. Lily saw him staring and stood up abruptly. She strode off quickly in the direction of the dungeons.

"S'okay, Prongs," Sirius chortled. "There are plenty more fish in Hogwarts." Remus winced at his blatant mistake. "Padfoot, it's 'There's plenty more fish in the sea'." He corrected. Sirius looked at him confusedly.

"What?"

Remus sighed. There just was no getting through to him. "Never mind." He said, letting the subject drop.

Peter, obviously not knowing that Sirius had forgotten about Hermione, suddenly piped up. "I can't believe that she did that! I mean.." He trailed off as Sirius glared at him. He obviously didn't want to be reminded of Hermione. However, letting her hex him and then walk off was completely out of the question.

"Yeah," He said darkly. "We have to teach them a lesson." Sensing trouble, James spoke up. "But not anything dangerous.. Just a few pranks." They both looked at Remus for support.

This sounded safe enough to Remus. After thinking it over carefully, he finally relented. "Okay," He sighed wearily. "As long as it's nothing dangerous." James and Sirius grinned. It wasn't often that Remus agreed with their pranking habits. They began whispering excitedly, planning out the prank that they were going to pull on Hermione and the Weasleys. It took nearly all of breakfast for them to come up with a prank that wasn't either dangerous, or already used. When they finally stood up, ready to go, they found that they were the last ones left in the Great Hall.

"We'd better hurry up or Professor Harper will take points off Gryffindor." Remus warned, knowing that the fear of losing house points would spur the others to move faster. As predicted, the Marauders quickened their pace and they soon reached the stairs that led down into the dungeons. They entered and Remus caught sight of Hermione's bushy brown hair. As he saw her, a thought entered his head. It puzzled him greatly, and he wrinkled his brow in thought. How did she know where the way to class? He never got a chance to ask her because at that moment, Professor Harper strode into the classroom.

"Everyone take your seats." He snapped. "Open your books to page 337 and begin reading the passage on sleeping droughts." The class opened their books and started reading. Hermione, as usual, was the first one to finish reading. She looked around the room and saw Snape and Malfoy muttering darkly, glancing at the Marauders. Oh no. Hermione thought. I bet they think that the Marauders are the ones who played the prank on them.. She hoped that nothing would happen as a result of their presence in time.

After everyone was finished reading, Professor Harper instructed them to start brewing a mild sleeping potion. Ron and Hermione worked at one cauldron, while Fred and George worked at the one beside them.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a shriek. Hermione whirled around to face where the sound was coming from and saw Remus and Peter's cauldron sizzling dangerously. The Professor, however, seemed not to have noticed the disruption of his class. Seeing that they would receive no help from the Professor, Hermione rushed over to the cauldron, picked up some asphodel roots, and dumped them in the ruined potion. As soon as the roots hit the potion, it stopped sizzling. She waited exactly one minute and stirred the potion counterclockwise three times. The potion, once again, returned to the blue hue it was supposed to be. Everyone sighed in relief and Hermione took her seat. As she sat down, Professor Harper glanced up from his work. "What were you doing out of your seat Miss...?" He trailed off, looking at her.

"Geraher." Hermione supplied easily. "Myoniny Geraher." Professor Harper cleared his throat loudly. "Well, Miss Geraher, what were you doing out of your seat?" He demanded. Hermione was about to explain when he stopped her. "It looks to me like you need to concentrate more on your potions skills than your social skills." He said coolly. "Miss Geraher, would you kindly work with Mr. Snape. Mr. Malfoy, you can work with her former partner." All four of them were about to protest, but Harper silenced them with a cold look. Muttering darkly, Lucious Malfoy headed over towards where Ron was standing and Hermione made her way over to the cauldron that he had recently deserted. Barely sparing a glance at Snape, she set her things down and began to work on the potion. About halfway through, the silence between her and Snape was broken. "How did you know how to do that?" He hissed softly. Hermione gazed at him with a blank look. "Do what?" she asked, momentarily confused. "How did you know what to add into their potion so that it wouldn't become a dangerous acid?" He elaborated.

"Oh, that." Hermione said, returning her attention to the potion. In truth, it had been Snape himself who had told her what to do when someone put a dung bomb in a potion. "Well, I read it somewhere in a book." She said reasonably, hoping he didn't ask her which book. "Oh," he said and fell silent once more for the remainder of the class period.
