Thank you so much to whoever it was that left me this idea for this prank. I don't know if they're still reading, because it was left in the S-G Marauders and I can't seem to find it. I had copied it onto my desktop, 'cause I liked it so much. I've been planning to use it for a while now. I tweaked it slightly.

So sorry this took a while, I haven't deserted you guys again, promise. You should blame my English teacher. I think she finds it amusing to make us read and annotate 20+ pages in the Odyssey and to answer and page or two of questions. We are already two books ahead of the other section. She must be on some MAD CRACK! I swear.

Anyway…Hey CUZ! WHERE ARE U?

That rant sounded rather familiar…maybe I did it in the last story too? I dunno…anyway…

I know this chapter is a little strange, but trust me. It is necessary.

Now, on to the chappie…

Last Chapter…

Remus sighed. "Well, whatever it is, I hope you don't get caught. And go easy on Sirius, would you?"

"Remus…tell him, that he can have his immunity back if he doesn't retaliate for our…revenge prank. And tell him…that I'm sorry I flipped out. I shouldn't have sworn at him."

Remus smiled. "Harry, you're a good kid, even if you are kinda evil at times." They all grinned.

Remus exited and the S-G Marauders stood. "Well, Dear Sister and Brothers, Don't call us, we'll call you…" Ron said grinning.

Everyone looked at him and Hermione turned to Harry. "I thought he'd stopped doing that."

Harry shrugged. "I guess not."

The four left the great hall.

Chapter 9 – Slaps, Gossip, and Utter Chaos

The next morning found the quartet, sitting clustered together, talking in low tones. Fred, George, and Ginny shooting them curious glances every-so-often, while they chatted with their friends.

"What did you do to them, Claws?" Ron asked excitedly.

Draco rolled his eyes. Harry smiled conspiratorially. "Well, you see, I modified them just a little, so that they're not dangerous."

"Potter?" Draco sneered skeptically. "How they hell can they not be dangerous, they're—"

Harry clamped a hand over his mouth, looking around. "Idiot!" He hissed. "You can't say anything. We can't do anything that could incriminate us! We could get in deep shit!"

Draco narrowed his eyes and licked Harry's palm. Harry yelped and snatched his hand back, scowling. (I have had someone do that to me…not pleasant.)

"I realize that, Potter. I don't have the I.Q. of snail, like some people." He raised an eyebrow.

Harry's lips curled into a smirk. "Who me? 'Cause if you meant me, then you do seem to have the I.Q. of a snail, or maybe a flubberworm. I hope you remember who had this lovely idea."

"I did."

"No, we both did. At the same time." Draco frowned. Harry continued. "Ah well, I guess snail-sized minds think alike."

They all chuckled at Draco's sour face. Hermione, still smiling, said, "Getting back on task, where will they be?"

"One here, One in Transfig, One in Charms, and One in DADA. That way we'll have all the major areas covered. Then the others, one each in A.R. (ancient runes), Herbology, Divination, Arithmancy, and Each of the Common Rooms."

Hermione wrinkled her brow and Draco asked, "Do Hermione and I even want to know how you got the passwords to the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Common Rooms."

Hermione's eye widened, then narrowed. "Tell me." She said in a dangerous tone.

Harry blanched. "Um…Cho gave me the Ravenclaw one and, erm…Hannah Abbot gave me the Hufflepuff one."

"Why? What did you give them?"

"…um?"

Hermione stood. "HARRY JAMES POTTER! HOW DARE YOU!" The Hall fell silent to watch. She, then, haled off and slapped him across the face.

He stared at her. She turned and walked out of the Great Hall. He stood and groaned, "Oh, fuck! Draco, come with me." He left the room calling, "Hermione, come back! Please."

Draco smirked and followed, leaving Ron grinning and shaking his head. The twins and Ginny came up and sat next to him, followed by Neville.

"What's with them, mate? That's the second fight this weak and Harry always seems to be the cause. Does he…um cheat on them?" Neville asked.

Ron laughed. "No, Neville, mate. He doesn't cheat on them…usually, but this fight…well…The last one was just Malfoy being suspicious as always."

Fred frowned. "And this one?"

Ron bit his lip. "It's complicated. They'll have it worked out by the time they get to first period. So, don't get your hopes up, Fred. Hermione is as rather hopelessly in love with Harry as Draco is."

Fred sighed. "Ah well."

"It's a rather strange situation, isn't?" Ginny asked. "I mean, Harry dating Hermione and Draco, while Hermione and Draco date each other. And they all know it."

"Yeah…but somehow, with those three, it seems normal. Al—" Ron froze. "Keep talking to me like I'm listening." He winked at Fred and George, as Harry spoke quietly in his ear via…actually Ron wasn't sure what the spell was.

"Patches, mate. The fight wasn't planned but it worked out well for us. We sorted everything out."

Ron muttered, "Well, how?"

"We're gonna do it while we are all spilt up. They seem to think that nothing will happen without all of us together. We're gonna do it, now. You, and Herm, should be on time to class. Dray and I will be late, but I'll be later then him."

"'K, done."

Ron looked up to see Hermione walking back into the hall. She came over to him and sat between Ginny and him. She smiled around. Ginny raised and eyebrow and said, "Well?"

Hermione looked at her. "Well, what? Oh, why I slapped Harry? It's nothing. Really, it's all sorted out already. He just slept with Cho and went to second with some Hufflepuff, Hannah I think. It's nothing."

Everyone, except Ron, gaped at her. Fred choked, "N-Nothing? He fucked Cho Chang? That's nothing? She's a seventh year, with us. How is him cheating on you and ferret-boy nothing?"

She smiled. "Really, Fred. It's nothing. It's all sorted out."

As she said this, Harry walked in. He looked much the worse for wear. He had a visibly black eye, a cut on his cheek bled a little, and his lip was swollen.

"Fine, huh?" George snorted.

Hermione looked surprised. "I don't…" She trailed off, seeing Harry give her the ghost of a wink.

"Oh, dear. I knew I shouldn't have left him alone with Draco." She stood and hurried to Harry's side, glaring at Cho as she passed. The Ravenclaw girl blanched.

"Oh, Merlin, Harry, love, are you alright? Did Draco hurt you very badly?" She sounded remarkably like Mrs. Weasley.

Harry had to fight the urge to grin. He sighed. "He looks as bad as I do…well almost. He simply wasn't being reasonable. I thought he'd take it better then that."

"I thought so too. Where is he?"

Harry turned and, as if on cue, Draco walked into the Hall. He was in a similar state as Harry minus the bleeding cut.

"Oh!" Hermione crooned and rushed over. "Poor Draco!" She stopped in between the two of them. "You are both being childish! Harry, what you did was wrong, and if you ever do it again, for any reason, I will find some very painful way to kill you. Draco, you were very childish and unforgiving about it. I got over it quickly; you should, too. You shouldn't have hurt Harry."

Harry hung his head. Draco shot a nasty glare at Cho, who paled even further, then he also hung his head. Hermione gave him a patronizing glare and he said, "Fine, I'm better now. Potter, you're forgiven, okay? Although, certain other people are not forgiven and I have every intention of getting back at those certain people."

Hermione grinned. "I fully agree." She glanced at Cho, who simply fainted at this point. Hannah Abbot looked like she'd like to crawl into a hole and die.

Hermione turned back to her two lovers. "I want both of you to go to the hospital wing, now. No arguments."

Harry smiled weakly, laughter in his eyes. "I don't think I'll be arguing with either of you for a very long time."

Hermione smiled indulgently, and Draco grinned, and then winced and he re-spilt his lip. Harry and Draco departed then. Hermione turned on the Ravenclaw table and stalked over to Cho, who had recovered from her faint. She grinned, nastily, "Watch your back, Chang."

Cho's eyes widened. "But, I didn't-"

Hermione gave a passable impression of the Malfoy sneer. Ron shuddered, seeing this. "Didn't what?" She shook her head when Cho refused to answer. "Whore!" She slapped the girl across the face, then spun and, grabbing her bag on the way, she stop. She turned slowly and pointed at Hannah, "You, too." With that, she stormed out of the Hall.

The Hall, itself, sat in completely shocked silence. Harry Potter Had cheated on his two lovers? Dear Merlin! What gossip!

Suddenly, the stillness was broken with a resounding pop, followed by an ear-piercing scream. Dumbledore leapt to his feet and Remus groaned and put his head on the table. When he looked up again, he saw exactly what had appeared in the great hall. His eyes widened. "So that's why Charlie was here…" He whispered in mild shock.

A dragon, a miniature version of the kind Harry dealt with during the Tri-Wizard Tournament, with a large number 5 on its chest, sat in front of the doors. Its long neck was stretched skyward and it was showering the tables with…not flames, but flowers. It was a truly magnificent sight, but no one seemed to be interested in the beauty of the creature in front of them. The entire hall was in a state of utter chaos. Students running everywhere, teachers trying to calm them and Dumbledore, in the middle of it all, shaking his head and saying, "Amazing bit of magic, but they really did go a little over board this time."

Remus chuckled at that. The four could get in tremendous amounts of trouble for this. He looked down to where he knew the twins were sitting and found Ron with them staring in…mild shock? at the dragon. No, Remus thought. That couldn't be right. Ginny smiled and clapped, obviously delighted. She looked around for the giant quill and whatever message it might bring, but, like Remus, found none.

Dumbledore sent quick summons to Minerva and waited for a reply. The reply he received a few moments later was not at all what he was expecting and he was not pleased. "Professor, I can come help you with your dragon. I have one of my own and don't bother calling Sirius. He has one too."

Dumbledore sighed. Once this was taken care of, he would be having a serious chat with His four favorite students. Harry, Hermione, Draco, and Ron went a little to far this time.

The number on the dragon, Dumbledore surmised, must indicate which dragon it was. Therefore, he thought, there are five of them. One was in the Great Hall, One in the Transfigurations Room, and One in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Room. But where were the two?
