Chapter Three- Alone and Exhausted

"So what are we going to do?" Hermione asked curiously. "Well we took Ginny's prank." Fred began "And we improved it." George finished. "You know that frightens people." Hermione said as she crossed her legs. She was perched on the edge of her bed waiting for their idea. "What frightens people?" They asked together. "How you constantly-" Hermione was cut off "Finish each others sentences? That's a gift my dear Hermione." Fred said grinning. George elbowed his brother.

"Can't call her that anymore Fred. Little Ronnekins may have a fit." He snickered. Fred laughed and Hermione frowned. "Alright back to the prank." She said with a yawn. it seemed this year she was destined not to sleep. "Oh right. Well here's some stuff that may help you for future pranks." George said handing her the two Weasly Wizard Wheezes bags. "None of it is for Malfoy?" She asked peering into the bags.

"Just this Mione." Fred held up two small vials. "What's in them?" She asked looking at them curiously. "Permanent hair dye." George said. "And Super Glue." Fred smirked evilly. Hermione was suddenly very glad they were on the same team. "What's the super glue for?" She asked standing up. "It's an old muggle prank. George and I will take care of this part. You just need to take this and-" His voice dropped to a whisper.

Hermione nodded. "Alright Fred flip for it?" George asked holding out a galleon. Neither one of them wanted the dirty work in the particular prank. "Tails." Fred called as George flipped the gold coin. "Heads." Hermione said as it dropped to the ground. She picked it up to hand it back to George and looked at him shocked. "George this coin is double headed." She said passing it back to him.

"George you little git!" Fred exclaimed. "Time is galleons little brother." George quipped pocketing the fake coin. "Two minutes George. Two minutes!" Fred muttered. "Come on. It's starting to get light out!" Hermione muttered pointing to her window.


Hermione drained the vial into his coconut scented shampoo. It bubbled slightly then stopped. She screwed the cap back on before slipping it onto the shelf. George was rifling through Malfoy's closet and Fred was bent over the bed. Within minutes they were back in Hermione's room. "Did you leave the note?" Hermione asked eagerly. She was wide awake now. Anxious to see the reaction morning would bring.

George nodded. Fred was currently scrubbing his hands like mad. George grinned and Hermione giggled. "It really was a great idea." Hermione complimented them. "And the nail polish remover stings." George confided. Hermione looked at him shocked. She knew they still tested the pranks on themselves but something like this? "Yeah be thankful your a girl." Fred said finally emerging from the bathroom.

"That was gross." He told George his eyes narrowed. "Really gross. Really, really nasty." He said emphatically. Hermione bit her lip to keep from laughing. An hour passed. The twins were giving her ideas for pranks and telling her how to perfectly execute them. She even started taking notes at one point. "Oh you better get going!" Hermione exclaimed as her alarm buzzed.

"Alright George. Let's go torment Ron." Fred said brightly. "You read my mind Fred." And with that the red headed twins disappeared out of her room. Hermione laughed one last time and began searching through her dresser. Time to get dressed for class.

Draco stifled a yawn as he attempted to shift his arm. A pain shot across his groin. Icy eyes opened as he pulled his right arm back harder. He winced as a stronger pain shot across. Lying fully clothed on the bed he saw that his hand was shoved down his pants. He was holding himself in his right hand and couldn't unlock his fingers from their frozen grasp.

No matter how hard he pulled his hand wouldn't come free. He reached out for his wand and felt a piece of parchment. Grumbling he squinted through the dark to read the hand writing.

'Draco,

Good morning! Seeing as you've heard of muggle books perhaps you've heard of muggle pranks. Perhaps a certain prank involving a mans hand being super-glued to his reproductive organ? Well now you have. I'd either recommend going to Madame Pomfrey, she was so sweet about helping me, or finding someone with a bottle of nail polish remover. It may sting a little!

Sincerly, Hermione.

P.S. I have your wand.'

Draco crushed the note in his free hand. That little mudblood! He sat quietly for ten minutes before heading into the common room. Hermione didn't seem to be around. Good. He crept quietly into her room and froze. He could hear water pounding down in the next room. She was in the shower. With a deep breath he stepped as quietly as possible into her bathroom.

A deep red curtain was pulled blocking the girl from his view he could hear her humming softly. No she wasn't humming, she was singing. "If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your garage band king.You can tell me why you just don't fit in. And how you're gonna be something." Draco shook his head. Stupid insane Gryffindor girl. He looked over her counter and in her drawers.

"It figures." He exclaimed. His eyes widened. Crap. The water shut off and Hermione's head appeared from behind the curtain. "Malfoy!" She screeched grabbing her towel and wrapping it around her body tightly. "Get out!" She shouted. "Give me nail polish remover!" He shouted back. Hermione's face was flushed as she looked at the rim of his pants. "I don't have any!" She shouted back.

"Hermione?" Asked a new voice. "Oh!" She muttered quietly. It was Ron! "Get out of here!" She said quietly. "I'm not leaving till I get that nail remover stuff!" He told her. He may have been known as the school sex god. Well that was just what Pansy called him but still. He had morals he wasn't going to walk around the school with his hand stuffed down his pants.

"Hermione? Can I come in?" Ron asked knocking on her door. "No!" Hermioen exclaimed. Making sure her towel was tight she stepped out of the shower and grabbed her wand. "Accico clothes." She called quietly. The pile of clothes on her chair flew neatly into her arms. She turned her wand on Draco. "Get out!" She told him. Draco wasn't stupid.

Hermione with a wand versus himself with one hand out of use. He backed out of the bathroom slowly. She shut the door. Then she heard it. "Bloody hell!" "Ron!" She muttered pulling on her jeans. She had just clasped her bra when the door flew open. Ron stood there red stretching over his freckled face and his ears."Ronald!" She exclaimed loudly crossing her arms over her chest protectively.

"Oh I get it. He can see you like this but not me!" Ron demanded. Hermione scowled. "Ron what on earth! He was looking for nail polish remover!" She told him. Ron snorted. "That is the lamest excuse Hermione! I can't believe you." He turned and stormed out. Hermione gaped openly. She rushed into her room forgetting she was clad only in jeans and her bra.

"You!" She exclaimed pointing at Draco her eyes burning furiously. "You did this! You planned this! Just to ruin me!" Draco glared at her. "Oh I planned this?" He shouted. "I planned having my hand glued to my damn penis!" He exclaimed. "I planned to ruin you and your little boy friend and have you run out here in your knickers you bloody mudblood!"

Hermione bristled. One more mudblood comment. Just one more. Wait. Her knickers? Hermione looked down slowly and blushed Gryffindor red. She hurried back into her bathroom and grabbed her sweater. She pulled it over her head and grabbed her wand. She headed for her door. "Wait!" Draco exclaimed. He was taking deep breaths and the tone of his voice was forced.

"What?" She demanded facing him. "What do I have to do?" He asked. "Excuse me?" She asked her eyebrows raised curiously. "To get that nail remover!" He exclaimed. Hermione looked at him. "First of all it's nail polish remover. And second of all... you have to explain everything to Ron." She told him folding her arms. "What you want me to talk to the Weasel!" He demanded.

"Deal or no deal?" She asked. "And I get my wand back?" Draco asked through gritted teeth. Hermione nodded. "Of course." She said. "Fine!" He shouted. Hermione opened the drawer of her bedside table and threw it at him. He struggled to catch it one handed. "Oh and don't use it in my room." She said turning and leaving Draco with his new best friend.


Hermione headed to Gryffindor Common Room. Perhaps she could soothe things over with Ron. She headed up the stairs to the boys common room. "Ronald?" She asked pushing the door open. "Oi!" Seamus exclaimed. He was still only in his boxers. Hermione turned blushing.

"Where's Ronald?" She asked being sure not to turn back. "Mione?" She looked up into Harry's bright emerald eyes. "Have you seen Ron?" She asked curiously. "He left to see you didn't he?" Harry asked running a hand through his untidy hair. "Oh Harry it's terrible. Fred and George and I pulled a prank on Draco and it totally backfired so Draco burst in on me in the shower and Ron found out. Oh he went crazy and started yelling and now he's just furious!"

Her arms locked around Harry's chest as tears poured from her honey brown eyes. Harry akwardly placed his arms around her back. "Don't worry Hermione. We'll explain it to him. He'll understand. Especially if I help you out."

Hermione nodded into his chest tears still streaming. "Maybe you should just rest today Hermione." Harry suggested. "No! Defense against the dark arts is today! And we have a new professor that I haven't met. She's arriving today. I need to show her around the castle."

Hermione let out something between a sob and a laugh. Harry looked at her seriously. "Seamus is still in his boxers if it helps?" He suggested. "Hey!" Seamus exclaimed his face turning red.

Hermione let out a strangled laugh her face was blotchy from the tears. "Breakfast?" Harry asked her. Hermione shook her head emphatically. "No. No,no,no. I can't go face everyone." Hermione said wiping the last of her tears.

"The kitchens then." Harry said pulling her towards the common room. "You need to eat." Hermione let Harry drag her out the common room and into the kitchens. Harry tickled the pear and the portrait swung open.


Hermione pushed the food around her plate. Her mind was on Ron and how stupid it was for her to get involved in the prank war. The painting pushed open revealing a woman with long chestnut colored hair and blue/violet eyes.

"Hey cool shit." The woman said. She looked no older than 18. Hermione and Harry watched her closely. "Hey students! Trippy. I'm Madisyn. Well technically it's Professor Wakefield now but seriously just call me Maddi." She said it all rather quickly.

Hermione stood up quickly. "Oh! You're the new defense professor aren't you?" Hermione asked as she set her plate on a counter. "Yeah, well me and my assistant. Who are you?" Madisyn asked.

"I'm the Head Girl. Hermione Granger." She introduced herself. Madisyn nodded. "Cool. Yeah you were supposed to show me around or something. You actually don't need to anymore. My assistant was a student here he's gonna show me around kay?" Maddi said.

Hermione blinked slowly. "Oh." Maddi nodded and looked at Harry. "You go to the Great Hall. Now." Harry stood wide eyed with shock. "Yes ma'am." He muttered. "Maddi. Call me Maddi." She corrected.

Harry walked out stunned. Madisyn watched him leave and then rounded on Hermione pointing an accusing finger. "You. Guy problems. Dish." They way she talked. She sounded more like a student then anything.

"Physcic. But I didn't need to be to tell. You're sitting as far away from students as possible and your eyes are puffy." Madisyn explained. "It's a long story I have class." Hermione said running a hand through her hair. "With me. My assistant will be fine. We're reviewing today you can stand to be late." Madisyn said motioning for her to sit.

Hermione sat and explained. She was just bursting with emotions. She told Madisyn everything from the pranks to the wierd feelings she'd been getting around Draco and the fact that maybe she didn't want to be back with Ron. Madisyn listened intently. "Tell you what. This Draco kid. Next prank he pulls and I'm getting in on it. Pranks are my love. Alright? Come on now. You can still catch at least half of class."

She helped Hermione up grinning. Hermione felt much more relieved.


A/N: We meet the DADA Assistant. And what was going on over Hermione's summer? Madisyn is more than meets the eye. A tattoo. A food fight. And Mad-Eye Moody.
