Disclaimer: Wait, lemme check to see if I own the wonderful world of Harry Potter. Nope, don't own it.

angryteabag: Actually, I didn't think about what parents would think. After I reread the chapter, I realized how weird it seemed, but the only explanation I can come up with, is that a lot of the students would want to protect the school. As for the 17-18 year olds, since they're considered adults, I don't think their parents can do much.

Monica7725: I'm so glad you liked the chapter. I can't wait to read the next chapter of "Someday We'll Know."

JJ85330: Well, thanks for the idea! If people have ideas, then I try my best to work it into the story.

Author's Note: Sorry it's taken a while, but I've been having trouble thinking up of some pranks. I did come up with a few things, but I think they're kinda lame. Here's the next chapter. I hope everyone likes it. Don't forget to R & R! A cupcake goes to angryteabag for being my 100th reviewer.


Chapter 30- April Fool's!

April Fool's Day had finally arrived. Not only was Hermione on edge about the big prank, but she was also nervous about what she had planned for Fred, since it was his birthday.

"I hope our plan works," Hermione said when Fred and Tonks came down from their rooms.

"We're all ready for it, right?" asked Fred.

"Yep. At dinner," answered Tonks. "Percy and McGonagall are the main targets out of the whole staff."

"What about the students?" wondered Hermione.

"What about them?" asked Fred.

"Well, are there any particular students who are our main targets?"

"Ron, Lavender and Parvati," answered Tonks. "Since you have classes with them, Sevvie, Fred and I need you to help us with a few spells."

"Okay," said Hermione.


Hermione was sitting in Snape's classroom doodling on an extra piece of parchment when Ron's cauldron exploded.

"Longbottom, come up to my desk now," Snape said.

"It wasn't me!" exclaimed Neville.

"Then who was it?" Snape asked.

"It was me," Ron said meekly.

"Then come up here," Snape snapped at Ron. "What did you do to make your potion explode?"

"Nothing! I did everything right," Ron said loudly.

Snape wanted to know if anyone could prove this- he ignored Harry's protest that it was done correctly, but believed Hermione's account that Ron was doing everything he was supposed to. Hermione smiled at Snape- it was a new product from the joke shop that Hermione had managed to slip in the potion when no one was looking.

"Ron, why is your cauldron back to normal? I just saw it explode," Neville said.

Ron turned to look at his cauldron, and saw that his cauldron looked normal, with a finished potion sitting in it.

"How'd that happen?" wondered Ron. "Hermione, why did that happen?"

"I don't know Ron. One minute your cauldron was a mess, and the next minute it was fine," Hermione answered noncommittally.

"Weird," commented Harry as he finished his potion.


Weird stuff continued to happen throughout the rest of the day, but some of the funniest pranks happened to be done on Lavender and Parvati. Hermione managed to do some spells that would change their school robes different colors throughout the day. They couldn't figure out what had happened to their robes. It was now time for their prank, and Hermione was hiding behind a statue with Tonks, who was somehow managing not to fall over or knock anything over.

"Where's Hermione and Professor White?" asked McGonagall nervously. "I hope nothing bad happened to them."

"We'll go look for her," said Fred, while pointing at Snape to make sure McGonagall knew who he meant by we. They hurried out to the statue, where Tonks and Hermione were waiting for them.

"Everybody's in the Great Hall, right?" asked Snape. Hermione checked the Marauder's Map (which she had "borrowed" from Harry) and told them everybody was in the Great Hall.

Hermione did the spell, which would make everyone's hair and skin change colors. It was a variation of the spell Hermione did on Lavender and Parvati's robes and wouldn't wear off for another week. Hermione then did a spell on Fred (quietly, of course) that would make him sing and dance at random moments. When they finally walked into the Great Hall, they couldn't help but laugh at everybody.

"Nice hair Ron," Hermione giggled. "You look like a Christmas tree."

"How come your hair and skin isn't messed up?" asked Ginny angrily.

Hermione pretended to think about it for a minute. "Whoever it was must have cast the spell on all the people in the Great Hall. Since I just walked in here, then I must not have been affected by it."

"So however it was thought everyone was in here?" asked Ron after he swallowed his food.

"Probably," answered Hermione.

"What's going on up at the staff table?" asked Harry.

Hermione turned around so she could see what was going on.

"That's thespell I did on Fred when he wasn't looking," Hermione replied. "It makes him sing and dance at random times."

"That's a good one," Harry told her. Ron and Draco wanted Hermione to teach it to them later so they could try it on some of their friends and enemies.


"Hermione, you were the one who did something to make me sing and dance, didn't you?" Fred wanted to know later that night.

"Duh. I thought since your birthday just happens to fall on April Fool's Day, I would prank you," Hermione said. She told Fred to wait a few minutes while she ran to her room to get his birthday gift.

"Here. Happy birthday," Hermione said as she gave him his gift.

"A book?" Fred asked.

"Look at the title idiot."

Fred looked at the title and saw that the book was titled 1000 Ways to Prank Your Friends.

"Just don't try any on me."

"Thanks 'Mione," Fred said as he hugged her.

"You're welcome."
