Hermione took Harry's hand as they walked down to breakfast the next morning.

"Hello, what's this?"

"Harry, I have a favour to ask. You know this prank that you're planning to do on Malfoy…"

"Let me guess, you don't want me to do it?"

"Oh Captain can do it…but only if his Lilly can help."

"Okay…what?"

"I wanna help. I wanna prank Malfoy into the next century."

"What has he done to you?"

"He ruined my potion in class yesterday and interrupted my private study time in the library. That time is sacred to me, and he disrupted it."

"What do you suggest we do? We have that Spiderman prank all ready."

"Exactly. Other than you who does he hate most in this school?"

"Huh?"

"What kind of person does he hate?"

"Muggle-borns like…you!"

"If the two people he hates most in this school do it then we will have gotten him back sufficiently."

"You can be really evil, do you know that?"

"I learnt from Malfoy. At one point he was my secret boyfriend. No one ever found out about it. He hates me even more because I dumped him because he tried to force me to sleep with him. Let's just say his balls were very sore for about a week."

"Ouch! No one messes with you, huh? What if it was just you that did the prank, and then throw in an offhand comment about while you were dating? Then people would know about it and he would be even more humiliated. I'll spell him and you do it."

"Where shall we do it? The Great Hall?"

"No, too many teachers. Entrance Hall. After breakfast. We'll have to…"

"Already ahead of you. Come on. Let's go in."

They entered the hall and Hermione casually asked Ginny if she could borrow some lip gloss.

"Sure. Why?"

"Change of plan." She pointed to Malfoy. Ginny caught on and started giggling.

"Psst! Guys!" Dean, Seamus, Ron, Colin, and Nigel turned around and looked at Hermione. "After breakfast get as many people into the Entrance Hall as possible, well, a substantial crowd, enough to spread it round the school. Colin and Nigel, get your cameras we want pictures taken throughout the whole prank. We're pranking Malfoy. Dean, you and Seamus make sure the Patil twins and Lavender are in the Entrance Hall. They're the biggest gossips in the school. Enough said. Also make sure Luna is there. Make sure she gets a copy of the pictures. Actually…"

She turned in her seat and called the girls over. A burst of giggling occurred when she told them the plan.

Near the end of breakfast Hermione prodded Ginny. Ginny handed her the lip gloss and left the hall. The others caught on and left too. Malfoy was still in his seat.

"Are you ready Harry?"

"Are you? You're the one who's got to kiss him."

"You don't mind that I'm kissing him, do you?"

"No. I know it's only for a prank."

"Okay, there he goes, let's do this."

They followed him into the Entrance hall.

"Go Harry!"

"Levicorpus!" he shouted.

Malfoy was suspended upside down.

"Hello dear." Hermione sauntered up to him. Everyone in the hall was now watching the episode. "Harry, darling, lift him higher. That's better."

Malfoy's face was now at a level with hers. She moved forwards an inch and kissed him full on the lips. His eyes widened in shock. After half a minute she withdrew and smiled at him evilly.

"Just like old times, right Draco?" then she laughed at his horrified face and the hall laughed with her. "Isn't that how I used to kiss you? When we were dating I mean? Of course, you were the right way up back then. You're still as bad a kisser as you were back then. See you later darling. Let him down Harry. I think he's suffered enough."

She walked back to Harry put a hand on his arm.

"Come on, we've got class."

Malfoy was left a weeping heap on the floor. He watched their retreating backs and drew his wand. Before he could speak a tiger had him pinned to the floor.

"Harry! Down boy! Captain! Come back here immediately!" the tiger paced over to Hermione and she stroked his head. "Come on Captain. We should go."

The tiger started walking off.

"Ahem! Harry…"

The tiger changed back into Harry.

"Oops! I forgot, again." Harry grinned at her apologetically.

"Come on Captain."

"Yes Lilly."

After they had gone those left behind looked confused.

"What was that about?" Dean said with an expression of total confusion.

"Yeah, why did she call him Captain and he call her Lilly?" Seamus said looking equally confused.

"I don't know what the Captain thing was about but I sure as hell know what he meant!" Ginny squealed. "She's his Lilly! She did talk to him! Finally! This means they're together! At last!"

"Thank the lord!"

"I thought it would never happen!"

They looked at Ron for his reaction.

"All I can say is that it's BLOODY BRILLIANT! I've been waiting for this to happen for about five years! And at last it has! Good for them!"
