Hi. I hate to say this, but it might be a week before I post the next chapter. It might not, of course, but I think this is the last chance I'll get to go on the net before next Sunday.

Caz Malfoy ~ Glad you think it was funny! And about 'The Incident', I could write it and post it separately. What do you think?

Fanny chan ~ Oh okay. I know, it may have been a bit boring and stuff, same with this one. But I swear, Ron and Hermione will be locked in Remy's classroom in chapter nine.

SparkySparkles ~ Draco will be back soon!

Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos ~ I'll be continuing the other fics as soon as I kill the evil writers block sitting on my shoulder saying don't write. This one, on the other hand, will continue to be updated regularly until I finish it, I hope.

beautifulelf ~ Draco knew about the Marauders because - wait, I cant tell you that! Harry and Draco will get together - wait, I cant tell you that either! You'll see!

Sailor Grape ~ Exactly my thoughts, Neville and screaming is essential for an Incident. They weren't being mean to Ron exactly, they were just irritating him a bit. Someone might prank them, but I doubt it'll happen all that soon.

LoonyLoopyLisa ~ Glad you liked the joke, and that I caught your interest with the Incident thing.

Icy Flame ~ Thank you so much!

Haretsu ~ Aw, you think so?

LovelyPsychopath ~ Thanks! Glad you like it! Actually, I like your penname.

MorningDarkness ~ Well, if you're trying to concentrate on a test and Snape is dancing in your head wearing his tutu, then it's bad. Otherwise, it cant be that terrible!

Thanks for reviewing, I love you guys!

Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan

By Silver Wolf

Chapter Seven ~ Chocolate, The Food For Plotting, Or A Medical Cure-All?

"Remind me again, what's the next part of the plan?" Harry asked Seamus later that night after dinner.

"We have to work out how to get them locked in the Defence classroom, preferably without them thinking that it was our fault. And then we need to do some spying on Malfoy and Zabini."

"So what do we do if Plan A doesn't work, and they just get royally pissed off?"

"Well duh Harry, we go to Plan B."

"Seamus, we don't have a Plan B."

"Not yet."

They were silent for a few minutes, lost in thought.

Suddenly Harry grinned. "I think I've got a perfect Plan B."

Seamus pouted. "You aren't going to tell me, are you?"

Harry smirked. "Not yet, no, but I will tell you that it involves Marauders, a Malfoy, and preferably some Honeydukes chocolate."

His partner in crime laughed. "In other words, it's still in the planning stages."

"Duh. Ron and Hermione still haven't figured out that I only eat chocolate voluntarily when I'm plotting something."

"I still don't get that. Why not? Chocolate's the best food there is!"

Harry grimaced. "Yes, I know. Unfortunately, Madame Pomfrey thinks it's a cure-all. I haven't had a visit to the Hospital Wing not involving chocolate since beginning of fifth year."

"That sucks."

"I know. Are we going back to the Common Room now? Ron and Dean are probably wondering where we are."

"Yeah. Let's go, before they decide we're shagging or something."

***************************************************

Hermione and Dean were watching a game of chess between the most evenly matched chess players at Hogwarts.

Well, they were supposed to be watching. In actual fact, they were discussing two of their best friends.

"Where do you think Harry and Seamus are?" Dean asked.

Hermione shrugged. "I don't know. Library maybe?"

"Harry and Seamus? Yeah right, 'Mione."

"Fine then, maybe they're both off meeting some secret girlfriends."

"Nah. I reckon they've found themselves an empty classroom to shag in or something."

"Maybe. Think we should ask them when they get back?"

Dean laughed. "Oh, I can see that! 'Hi Seamus, Harry. Say, were you two off shagging in a deserted classroom?' That'd go down real well!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and slapped him on the arm. "Real funny, Dean."

"I know."

Neither of them got a chance to continue to speak, because the portrait opened and the subjects of the conversation came in, sniggering about something.

"Hah!" Lavender exclaimed suddenly. "Checkmate, Ronald. You lose."

Ron stared at the board in shock. Then he groaned. "Damn. That's seven times out of ten that you've beaten me!"

Hermione laughed. "Well, now we know who's better at chess!"

"I'm half asleep," Ron said defensively. "It's getting late."

"Sure thing Ron," Seamus said as he sat down. "It's that really late time of eight o'clock. I'm sure that it was your exhaustion that caused you to lose."

Harry laughed as he joined them. "Actually, I think it was because he's too busy staring at - eep!" Harry ducked behind Hermione as Ron tried to kill him. "Don't hurt me!"

"Keep your mouth shut then."

"Yes Dad," Harry said to his best friend, rolling his eyes.

Seamus sniggered. "Harry, you know perfectly well that Ron would make a terrible father."

Harry nodded sadly. "You're right, Seamus. Ron's more of a maternal type."

Ron sighed in exasperation.

"Oh really you two, must you tease Ron so much?" Hermione asked disapprovingly.

Harry and Seamus glanced at each other and grinned. "Yes Mum," they answered in unison.

She tried to slap them both, but they ran.

That night, the Gryffindors were treated to the unique sight of Prefect Hermione Granger chasing pranksters Harry Potter and Seamus Finnigan around the Common Room, shouting all the ways she was going to torture them when she caught them.

Luckily, both boys made it to their dorm, and Hermione wouldn't enter that room unless her life depended on it, as the sixth year Gryffindor boys were famed for being messy.

So anyway, if I wrote up 'The Incident' and posted it separately, who would read it? It wouldn't be long, just one chapter. About 1000-2000 words. Just wondering.

Please review!
