( Snape strikes back!....again! Erm, part of this chapter disturbes me. I don't know why I wrote it.... you'll see....)

For the past week, Dark had taken it easy on Snape. This didn't stop the death glares he sent her almost daily. Dark sighed. It was a Saturday morning, and it was only eight in the morning. Usually, she'd be asleep for at least two more hours, but she couldn't. she kept thinking about.... Snape! She had been woken up at around five by one or two of her roommates sneaking back from being who know where with thier boyfriends. This slightly irritated Dark. Not the sneaking out thing, but the fact that those stupid girls couldn't sneak to save their lives. Then they giggled and talked about their fun time at the friggin astronomy tower for half an hour. Then they noticed Dark was awake and asked her why she never spoke to them.

Dark groaned. She fell asleep from around five- thirty to seven. Then she couldn't keep her mind off Snape. She wished that he would at least stop looking like he hated her... he probably did hate her, though. Another sigh. Dark plopped her face back on the pillow. How frustrating! She was making the person she had a crush on hate her! But how incredibly weird and wrong sounding her crush was. If she told anyone, she would get either a weird look or a gag in return. Yet, she couldn't crush this......uh crush. Well, she couldn't just lay and do nothing. If she couldn't sleep, then she'd get up!

As soon as she had got up out of bed, she knew she shouldn't have gotten up today. She was instantly drenched in freezing ice water! She let out a scream of suprise. Shivering with cold and anger, she looked up. A floating bucket.... Dark got the message instantly.

Severus Snape woke up in a cheerful mood for once. He looked at his clock. Eight o' four. It seemed a bit early for the girl to wake up. Perhaps he'd listen and see if he could hear her yell from here. Severus laughed. Ice water. A nice wakeup call. But he remembered something that troubled him. While setting up his trap he had ..... watched her sleep. Just for a minute, but he couldn't help it. She didn't seem so annoying when she was sleeping. Oh well, he wished he could see her face when she got up ths morning. Snape laughed. He didn't expect Dark to have allready gotten up. He also didn't expect what she was plotting for him next.

"DAMN HIM!" Dark said angrily. Soaking wet and fuming with anger. She was not a morning person and this didn't help.

" Damn who?" Asked one of Dark's roommates, sticking her head out of her bed hangings. When seeing Darks condtion she said. " What happened to you? Are you saying that a him was in here? WHO???"

Dark thought that this girl ( She forgot her name) was a bit too excited at the fact that a guy was in the dorm. Ignoring the girl, Dark got up and got dressed. That was two really crappy pranks Snape pulled.. Well one and a warning. It was her turn. She laughed evily as she did her hair in a kind of short messy (as the muggles called it: Blow dried) look.

One dry and ready, Dark climbed down the staircase leading to the common room. There was barely anybody there. Dark figured they went to breakfast. Since she wasn't hungry, Dark went to the library. Better to get that homework out of the way then to wait until the last minute...like usual.

There was only a few younger students in the library. This left the table by the window open. Dark smiled. It was her favorite seat. She sat down and took out her books. She worked on some of her charms and transfiguratioons essays and saved the rest for later. It was Saturday, so who wants to do a lot of work. Dark then took out her potions book. She had to do a one foot essay. She quickly breezed through that assignment. Potions was like a puzzle. Once you knew the properties of the ingredients, it was easy. Certain things affect the pH of the potions, somethings react with others.. It seemed a bit complicated at first, but when you got it, it's cool to see how logic it all is. In around forty five minutes, her essay was done. Wow Dark wasn't used to sitting still that long... outside of classes, that is.

As she put her books away, she heard a small voice adress her.

" Um, Dark, is it?" Asked the voice.

Dark looked up. It was a small Gryffindor boy. A first year. Curious as to what he wanted Dark smiled " Yup that's me. What do ya need?" She asked in a nice voice. The poor boy looked a bit nervous.

" I was wondering," he began, " if you could help me with my potions essay..... I heard you were really good at potions." He looked at his feet.

Dark glanced at the clock. it was ten. Was Snape being hard on the firsties? Sure she could help little... whatshisname.

" Sure what do you got?" The boy showed Dark his assignment. " Gah, Ol' Snapey's bein' tough on you guys. But it's simple if you look at it really.. What's your name anyways, kid?"

" Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Jonny." He said.

" Ok, Nny. Lemme show you how this works."

"Nny?" Jonny looked a bit confused.

" Sorry, too many muggle comics. Ok, so you see, powdered asphodel roots and wormwood..."

Dark helped Jonny on his work for a while. She explained how the properties of the ingredients affected the reaction of the potion. There was a bunch of simple rhymes she made up. It was fun playing tutor. Dark just hoped that it wouldn't cause an evil flock of firsties. Nny, as Dark called him ( She read Jonny the Homicidal Maniac.) told her about how Snape liked to pick on him the most. Dark told him about how she was the one who has been pranking Snape. It wasn't much of a secret anymore, so she didn't mind telling him. She promised to dedicate her next prank to Nny, and she let him pick it. Dark laughed when he pointed one out. It was a good one. It was one that she wrote.

"34. Leave a well-worn and sickeningly cute teddy-bear where it can be seen easily by staff and students. Ensure it has a tag, written in a child's hand, stating that he "belongs to Severus" and is called "Chuckles"."

Dark grinned and left the library. Snape may have gotten her this time, but he would pay so dearly tomorrow morning. She laughed in the corridors while walking to the Gryffindor tower. And just for a fun little plot pickup, guess who she ran into.

Professor Snape, who was walking in the opposite direction stopped and looked at Dark, who was laughing like she was in the crazy house. Dark stopped laughing, and stopped walking.Hey why not check another one off the list? Dark ran up to Snape and gave him a big hug. Snape was a bit shocked, but recovered and pulled her arms off of him.

" What was that?!?!?!" He nearly shouted.

Dark, who was thinking about the task, replied. " Strict orders from Professor Dumbledore, sir!"

Professor Snape just glared at her. Dark gave him a salute, and skipped merrily down the hall. Heh, she was using that task as an excuse to hug him. Oh well. She had a teddy bear to make.

Once she got back to the common room, she saw Hermione, Harry, and Ron. They were all discussing something, and looked up when Dark entered. Secret keepers, eh? Dark smiled.

" Go on, I'm going upstairs anyways." She didn't really care what they were discussing. She was about to leave when Harry cleared his throat.

" Oh, you are not going anywhere. We were just discussing you." Dark was a bit nervous. Did they know her secret?? She turned and faced them slowly. Harry spoke again. " You have been slacking on the prank pulling. Are you alright? Is something wrong?"

Dark felt relieved. She assured them that she was only waiting for the tail to come off, which it did. Then she told them about her nice wake up shower. Ther looked a bit shocked. Dark laughed. She told them about the next prank she was working on. Ron volunteered to help out, since he hadn't contributed much. He gave Dark an old sweater that she could transfigure. She wrapped the sweater in a ball, so it had a bit less shape to it. It would be easier to transfigure. After a few tries and cursewords, Dark got a bear shape. She worked on making it disgustingly, sickeningly, cute. She even made it look a little bit flat around the middle, as if it had been hugged a lot. Ron set to work with a crayon and made the tag. Dark made fun of him and how hard his task was. Once the bear, I mean monster was completed, Dark held it up for the others to see the finished work. There was a collection of "awws" around the common room. Dark hugged the critter. It was so disgustingly adorable that she couldn't help it. Nobody could.

Once the bear had made it back from it's hugfest around the common room, Dark put it safetly in her school trunk. She would get up extra early tomorrow to set it up right in the entrance hall. Chuckles was going to be the subject of the day for the students, and maybe staff for a day or two.

Dark was woken up at three in the morning the next day. It wasn't because of her task. It was because there was somebody outside of her bed curtains. She opened them a bit. Snape was setting up another bucket. Couldn't he pull a good joke? Dark silently crawled to the other side of her bed with her wand out. She poked her head out of her bed, and with a wave of her wand, the bucked had dumped itself on Professor Snape. Oh, it was a good joke. It looked like pudding or something, not water. Snape looked around, and then Dark appeared next to him.

" Some jokes get old pretty quick, Sir." She said, trying not to sound as annoyed as she was. it was THREE in the morning! Snape snorted at the sight of her pumpkin print pajama pants.

" I figured that you wouldn't expect the same joke twice in a row. He said quietly.

Dark sniffed. " You smell like chocolate pudding...." A glare was sent back. " You know, that stuff is for eating, not bathing." A growl. Dark reached up an took a bit of pudding off his shoulder. She ate it. Snape looked a bit weirded out. He started to turn around to leave, but Dark was in a piss Snape off mood. " Hey, stay still!" she said in a sharp whisper, trying not to wake her annoying roommates. He turned around and gave her another death glare.

Dark conjured a spoon. At the sight of this, Snape made an exit, but was followed by Dark.

"Pudding! Wait! I want pudding!" She called after him, trying not to laugh. She chased him down a few flors, and was starting to get tired.She must have looked pretty funny. Barefooted and wearing a T-shirt and pumpkin pants, while waving a spoon around and running. Well, at least she got Snape back for sneaking around her room. It was a bit creepy, yet it wasn't too bothersome, well the attempt to trick her was.

She finaly caught up with Ol' Snapey, and she pushed him down trying not to cause pain. Snape let out a "WAH" and fell. Dark sat next to him and spooned pudding off him. She didn't really eat it, though. That would have been pretty gross. Instead she played hair stylist with pudding gel. That was fun until Snape got over the shock of being knocked over. Snape got up and looked pretty mad.

" What was that about?!" Ha demanded. Heh, he had nothing to complain about

" What was sneaking into my dorm and attempting to set up a pudding trap about?" Dark asked in a calmer manner. She could barely keep a straight face, because Snape's hair was sticking up in all directions. While Snape was trying not to explode, Dark yawned and looked at her pudding covered hands. She could imagine her little brothers saying someting stupid, like poopy hands. Yuck. It did kind of look like... poo hands. She casually wiped them off on Professor Snape and walked away. She really needed a bit more sleep, and a chance to set up Chuckles the bear.

She didn't even get stopped by Snape. Maybe he figured he started the whole mess. Most likely he thought he really needed a bath. He was covered in pudding, and his hair was styled into some sort of mowhawk.

Dark went to her room and got the bear. Once she set it up, she headed back to bed. It was only like three thirty. She slept for four hours, and was woken up by Hermione.

" Hurry up, you'll miss it! Snape goes to breakfast in like fifteen minutes!" She said excitedly.

This woke Dark up. She got ready quickly and ran to the entrance hall. A few people were looking at the bear allready. Soon a whole crowd gathered around it. They were all laughing. Soon, Snape noticed the crowd, and he went to see what it was all about. Dark hid behind some tall people. She still got to see Snape's face when he read the tag, though. It was absolutely priceless. He knew that it was Dark who did this, and after being laughed at for a while, he scanned the crowd for signs of the culprit. Dark was pretty safe though, because the was on the short side. At least, she though she was safe. She was about to turn around to go to the great hall, when she felt a tight grip on her wrist.

" You!" came a farmiliar growling voice. Snape looked pretty pissed.

" Me......what?" Dark asked. She tried not to sound nervous, but she was. Snape looked murderous.

(See where I was bothered in this chapter. I mean, nothing BAD, but still, I just ruined pudding for me...)
