Chapter three: Oops…
Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
"I can't believe it didn't work!" Ron moaned, slumping down into an overstuffed chair. Seamus sighed, Harry shook his head slowly, and Pansy punched Granger in the stomach. She didn't even flinch.
"You know, I could…" Pansy inspected Hermione carefully, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at the bushy haired girl. "You bushy headed, know-it-all, mudblood, beaver girl! You think you're so high and mighty just 'cus you hang out with scar head, but you're just a ugly, nerdy, bookworm with terrible teeth." Pansy leaned in close and sneered venomously. When nothing happened she pulled back, her facial features scrunching up in frustration.
"Huh, I coulda sworn that would've worked." Seamus put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"S'all right mate. You gave it your best shot." Pansy growled and forcibly knocked away his hand.
"First off, don't ever touch me again you filthy half-blood, secondly Slytherins don't give in as easy as you pussy-shit Gryffindor cunts. Close your ears boys, you might not be able to handle what I'm about to say." The Gryffindors looked at each other worriedly, but covered their ears. They watched as Pansy sneered and glared and said what they could only guess were horrible and highly offensive insults. After a few minutes of this Pansy stopped, dropping her shoulders in defeat, the boys uncovered their ears.
"I really can't believe that didn't work." Pansy sighed, but she had the look of determination, she rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her hands together.
"Alright guys, tell me everything you did that didn't work, and I'll try to improvise."

Colin began putting away his pictures, and started to get up. Ginny grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.
"Wait. I'm intrigued. Tell me how you get these photos; I can't imagine Malfoy is willing to pose for you." Slowly Colin sat back down, folding his hands in front of him.
"Exactly why should I tell you anything?" He smirked, which was unlike him, but with his slicked back hair and pointy nose made him look part shrewd businessman, part pervert. Ginny fingered one of the folders before pulling it completely into her possession, Colin reached for it, but she kept it tauntingly out of reach.
"I'm not sure that Dumbledore would approve of your… lucrative business, in fact, I believe some of these pictures would constitute grounds for, oh, I don't know, expulsion, or better yet, peeping tom, sex offender, and all around pervvy creep. What do you think?"
"Alright. You win, what do you want to know?" Ginny leaned back smiling.
"How do you know where Malfoy is? These pictures, you must have been following him very closely to get them." Colin sighed, digging into his bag. He pulled out a scroll.
"I have a map—" Ginny grabbed the map from his hands and rolled it open. It was completely blank.
"But this is…" Colin put his wand on the parchment and tapped it twice.
"Show me Malfoy." He said, and as soon as he did an intricate map of Hogwarts inked itself onto the paper, and in a little unused classroom in the dungeons was a black dot labeled DM.
"You made this yourself?" Ginny said incredulously. Colin looked taken aback, he huffed before admitting:
"Fred and George helped me. They said it was based on a map they'd pilfered from Filch a while back, only a bit simpler. I don't know the particulars. Anyway, we worked on it together."
"My brothers barely know you! And they don't much care for you either, why on earth would they help you with this?"
"George has a bit of a thing for Malfoy, I promised free pictures." Ginny screwed up her face in disgust.
"I really didn't need to know that. How do you keep your…subjects from hearing your camera or seeing the flash?" Colin laughed haughtily through his nose.
"Simple spells, Ginny, geez, you should have been able to figure that out on your own! A silencer spell, that's pretty obvious, and a simple hiding spell for the flash. Are you really in the same year I am?" Ginny frowned.
"Be careful Creevy, you're starting to sound like a Slytherin. You're already slimy and unbearable, if you start talking like them too you'll become one."
"Thanks for the warning. Now if that's all you wanted to know there is a very lovely Malfoy all alone in the dungeons and I don't want to miss this opportunity." He swng his bag over his shoulder and headed out the door, closely followed by Ginny.
"Wait! Take me with you."

"Trelawny, please get this over with. I really don't have time to waste on your silly predictions." Severus Snape was unhappily cornered buy the eccentric woman in his own room. In no particular rush Trelawny conjured up a pot of tea, two cups, and a platter of biscuits.
"Really, Severus, you can't rush these types of things. But since you insist, I was sitting in my room, meditating, as I always do around this time of day when I saw myself having tea with you, and you know, why fight the fates!" She sipped her tea and looked up at Severus through thick fake lashes. Severus sat down across from the insufferable woman and realizing that she meant to stay poured himself a cup of tea.
"I've really wanted a chance to read you Severus. You are a very interesting and complex man, you intrigue me greatly." She smiled seductively over her cup. Severus grimaced slightly, giving the biscuits all of his attention. Trelawny moved her hand over his, and stroked the back of it with her index finger, letting her long, painted nails drag over the surface.
"Let me read your palm, Severus." She turned it over slowly, her eyes still watching Severus's face (which had paled considerably) intently. Pulling his palm close to her face she readjusted her over size spectacles and concentrated on his palm. Slowly she traced her finger across his life line.
"You're going to live a strong healthy life." She breathed slowly, moving her finger over his love line. She paused, closing her eyes and bringing his hand to her chest. Instinctively he tried to pull his hand back, but her grip was commendable.
"Oh, how terribly sad! You've never loved, and those you did rejected you, left you, harmed you! My poor Severus! What burdens your heart carries! But don't despair, for there is still hope for you to find happiness, I saw in you palm that you were about to encounter a very lovely and also lonely woman and the two of you will live happily for the rest of our lives." Severus's eye twitched, he tried once more to move his hand, but failed again.
"Somebody's at the door- I really ou-ought t-t-t" Severus's eyes widened in shock and dismay as Trelawny moved his hand onto one of her breasts, pushing it firmly.
"Don't be shy, Severus." She moaned happily.

"Be quiet, absolutely silent." Colin instructed Ginny sternly as they moved to the door. Ginny reached out to open it only to have her hand swatted away by Colin's.
"What do you think you're doing? You don't open the door!"
"Yeah, well how do you take the pictures?" Ginny retorted, embarrassed that she couldn't hold her own with Colin. He waved his wand and muttered a spell under his breath, the door shimmered for a moment, rippled like water before completely disappearing.
"An invisible spell, we can see through the door, but her can't see us."
"Clever." The both peered inside the room, scanning it for Draco. Ginny gasped in surprise and Colin excitably grabbed his camera: there in front of them was Draco, head lowered, bound and gagged to a chair.
"There is no one else there. I didn't know Malfoy was into S&M. I think it's safe to go in, there isn't much he can do to us tied up like that. These pictures are gonna sell like hotcakes, I wonder what price I can get on them?" Colin wondered while shooting a few shots from outside the door. They entered the room silently, walking slowly over to Draco's side.
"I wonder who is, you know, his partner?" Colin shrugged, snapping another picture. Suddenly Draco shoot up, his eyes still pulled open, and the gag still in his mouth. Ginny and Colin jumped back in surprise, Draco stared at them for a moment before starting to struggle against the bonds. Colin rushed around him taking photo after photo while Ginny watched.
"Mmmfff,hhhh? Nnna-mmmma! Nnnnee!"
"Do you think he wants to untie him?" Ginny asked, unable to understand Malfoy's cries for help.
"Nah, whoever tied him up will probably be back soon, he's probably just embarrassed that we discovered his secret. I'm just gonna take a few more pictures, and then we can leave."
"Ok"
"Mmma…Nnna! Hnnner-ma! Geeeeelp!" But it was to no avail, Draco Malfoy was once again left alone, bond and gagged.
Dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
Pansy ran down to the dungeons and through a secret corridor that lead directly to Snape's private quarters. She knocked loudly; when no one answered she opened it anyway and barged in.
"Professor Snape, Professor Snape!" She called, running into his small parlor where she stumbled slightly in astonishment. "Professors! I'm so sorry to have intruded, I'll just leave.. I'm so sorry!" She said, covering her eyes and trying to get out as quickly as humanely possible. Severus, seizing the opportunity, got to his feet and ran after Pansy.
"Wait! Miss Parkison, please, it wasn't what it looked like! What did you need?" Pansy slowed, but averted her eyes as she spoke, careful not to make eye contact.
"It's about Granger, she's stuck and I thought maybe you could help."
"Stuck?" Suddenly Professor Trelawny burst into the hallway, spotting Severus and running towards him. "Oh, yes, stuck, I understand, lets go!" He grabbed Pansy's arm and took off at a sprint towards the Gryffindor tower, Trelawny trying to catch up but falling over her pumps.
"Wait! You might need my guidance!"
Professor Snape and Pansy entered the Gryffindor Commons room out of breath but safe. Pansy fell to the ground, sweating and breathing heavily. The Gryffindors stared at her then at Snape, who was also trying to catch his breath.
"Snape! Snape was you big idea?" Ron shouted, offended that the greasy potions master was in their common room. Pansy sneered at him.
"As if your ideas were working."
"Now, stuck, what did you mean by stuck." Snape asked, straightening out his robes. Pansy pointed Hermione's motionless form, well, motionless except for her mouth. Snape swooped over to her and inspected her closely, pulling out his wand and removing the silencing spell.
"…If this spell is completed correctly then the object should return to it's normal form in a matter of minutes. If the object does not please consult chapter eleven: How to remove simple Transformation spells…" He quickly re-silenced her and turned towards his students.
"I really don't see what you expect me to do about this, I—" The portrait door swung open revealing Professor Trelawny, pumps in her hand, leaning against the opening.
"I had a vision that you would need my foresight, so I came as quickly as I could to assist you Severus."
