April Fools
Hermione's Sense of Humour
Apparently having woken up to brightly coloured god awful hair wasn't the only unusual occurrence of that morning. In fact Seamus, Dean and Neville fitted in quite well with the other swollen noses, magenta faces and chicken legged students. In fact, Harry noticed, several students had undergone sex switches. Including a rather pretty Blaise Zabini in a tube top and mini skirt.
'I see you got off easy Malfoy,' Blaise greeted as he sat beside Draco in potions. Harry of course was already seated on Draco's right.
'Don't bet on it,' Draco mumbeled.
Snape stalked into the classroom his robes doing that cool swishy thing Harry had tried and failed to master. Draco had gotten pretty good at it though…ponce.
'Alright quiet down!' Snape ordered. 'Mr Zabini you're looking quite lovely this morning,'
'Thank-you professor,' Blaise giggled. Draco rolled his eyes and Harry chuckled.
'Quiet Potter! I've got some rather unfortunate news to give and I do not need your disruptions,' Snape barked. Harry's smile disappeared. Draco glared at his potions master, daring him to say something else spiteful to his Harry.
'As it happens, there has been a rather unfortunate accident involving an intoxicated house elf and your essays you were assigned during the Christmas break. They were all completely destroyed, as such you will all be graded, thanks to that fool of a headmaster, and despite my many protests…an O-,'
Cheers went up in the classroom, except for Draco and Hermione who looked completely devastated.
'And since I had intended to go over the criteria of the assessment that so many of you no doubt would have failed at, during this lesson, I have nothing planned for today's period. So for the remainder of this lesson, as "suggested" by the Headmaster, you will have a spare,'
More cheers, the entire class stood and left to exit the room. However when the first student reached the door it slammed shut in front of them. Snape smirked and held up the entire class's unharmed graded essays.
'April Fools,'
'Couldn't see that one coming a mile away,' Seamus grumbeled as they all moved into pairs for the smile practical potion they had been assigned to create.
'Yeah, but still, it would have been brilliant,' Dean sighed 'I wonder what getting an O feels like…'
The entire class was in low spirits from Snape's cruel joke, who by the way was sitting at his desk looking immensely pleased with himself.
'Stupid Snape,' Harry spat. Draco began to prepare their ingredients with a large smile on his face.
'Thank merlin he was only joking, I spent a great deal of time on that essay,' he remarked.
'It's not fair! You get an O+ and I fail. It's favouritism is what it is,' Harry grumbled.
'Don't be ridiculous Harry, Granger got an O, and I warned you not to procrastinate and wait to the last day but you refused to listen to me,' Draco lectured.
'It's all your fault,'
'Me? How's it my fault!'
'You were wearing those damn short short's all break. Parading around in practically nothing,'
'I don't seem to remember you complaining,' Draco smirked.
'Couldn't bloody well focus,' Harry sulked.
'Couldn't keep your hands off me huh Potter?' Draco winked.
'Oh shut up. To make things worse you were wearing that chalone you bought in Hogsmede, you know it drives me crazy!'
'Does it really?' Draco mock gasped.
'Ponce,'
'Short short's fanatic,'
Suddenly there was a lage explosion and green smoke billowed out of Hermione's cauldron engulfing the entire room and forcing everyone into violent coughing fits. When the smoke finally cleared thanks to a spell from Snape, everyone looked shocked at Hermione. She stuffed up a potion. Hermione Granger stuffed up a potion…
'Oh god,' Harry panicked 'It's Armageddon isn't it! I'm dead!'
'Calm down you're not dead Harry,' Draco promised.
'30 points from Gryffindor!' Snape looked like Christmas had come early…and he'd gotten a knew extra thick quadruple lined cauldron. Hermione simply cleaned up the potion and began to start again.
'B-But this is…it's a god damn first year potion!' Harry stammered 'Even Neville's getting it right,'
'I've a feeling that wasn't our assigned potion,' Draco spoke quietly.
'What do you-,'
'Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods,' Draco sang…he actually sang…in public!
'Draco are you-,'
'Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds,' Draco stood up on the desk and continued his song. Everyone in the class was starring up at him in complete and total shock.
'Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed,' Draco continued 'Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need…I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero until the morning light, he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight! I need a hero I' holding out for a hero until the end of my life,'
Suddenly Draco stopped singing and got down of the table and back into his seat.
'Music of the soul Miss Granger?' Snape asked.
'No I think that was "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler,' Seamus stated.
'No you dolt! The potion! When the fumes are inhaled the victim sings a song that expresses apart of what that person feels, it can be anything from the love of your life to your favourite sport,' Snape explained.
'But the song has to already exist and the knowledge of which the person has to know,' Hermione added 'By the way Draco you have a lovely voice,'
'Thank you Granger, brilliant prank by the way, you've far outdone the Weasel,'
Harry would have expected vulgar comment from Ron at that moment…if he hadn't just stood up on his own desk-
'Oh dear Merlin's pointy hat!' Snape cried out in disgust.
'I like big butts I cannot lie to you other brothers can't deny when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and there's a round thing in your face you get sprung!' he continued into the first verse of "Baby got Back" before turning bright red and sitting back in his seat.
'So you like big butt's huh Weasel?' Draco asked.
'Oh shut up Malfoy! You like heroes!' Ron finished lamely.
'I know,' Draco and pecked Harry on the lips. Neville climbed up onto his desk and Snape whimpered.
'The day had so much potential, 100 points from Gryffindor,'
'I know something about love, gotta want it bad if that guy got into your blood go out and get him,' Neville sang "Tell him" which was followed by Pansy Parkinson's "My heart will go on" after her brother was killed last week by an Auror. Crabbe sang "Duke of Earl" for some strange reason. It was actually becoming a lot of fun seeing what song each student would burst into. Except for those yet to sing yet…of course they were terrified. Soon the class was erupting with laughter as Goyle sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow"…go figure, Seamus and Dean broke into a duet of "You're the one that I want" from Greace, Blaise sang "War" and Snape surprise everyone by breaking out into "Oklahoma"…which was just plain freaky. Finally to Harry's absolute terror he felt his legs move of their own accord and suddenly he was standing atop his desk. It felt quite unusual yet not unpleasant. He opened his mouth and looked directly at Draco (warning major fluff ahead)
'I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope I'll be your love, be everything that you need,' Harry looked directly at Draco knowing this song was for him 'I'll love your more with every breath truly madly deeply do, I will be strong I will be faithful cause I'm counting on a new beginning a reason for living a deeper meaning yeah, I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea, I wanna lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me,'
Harry stopped there and dropped gracefully to his feet on the floor. Some girls were crying (including Blaise). Most just echoed a long Awwwwww. Draco threw his arms around Harry and began a thorough and long passionate snog.
'Eww, go get a room geez!' Ron groaned as he whipped away a stray tear.
