Chapter21 Pranks

That week seemed to pass by in a blur, soon, before he knew it, it was Friday. Harry just lay on his bed wishing he didn't have to get up. He looked over at his watch and saw it was 7:30. He rolled himself over, and slowly got up. He glanced over at Ron's bed and saw it was empty. Harry sighed, he missed his friend. He wondered when Ron was going to wake up and realize Gin wasn't a little girl anymore. She grew up right before his eyes. She was far from that. Harry wondered how much longer Ron would try to avoid him. He glanced at the clock, it now read 7:45. Harry groaned he really needed to get moving if he wanted to get to class on time. He grabbed some clean robes from the dresser, and headed to the showers.

After he got out he felt much better. He felt more awake and refreshed. He put his robes on and attempted to put a comb through his hair, but decided it was useless. He left and headed off to the Great Hall, but he was intercepted by Ginny.

"Morning Gin, what's up?"

"I've got the greatest idea on what we could do to prank Ron. Fred and George sent me a new sample of their latest product. It's called Rainbow Camouflage Sugar."

"Uh huh, Gin, What exactly does it do?" Harry was desperately hoping that it was nothing that will make Ron hate him forever.

Ginny grinned at Harry, her eyes flashing mischievously. "Well you put this in Ron's drink, and it will cause him to change to a bright, flashy, and neon rainbow color."

Harry snickered at the thought of Ron looking like a human rainbow. "When do you want to make Ron all colorful, Gin?"

"Why Harry, there's no better time than the present." Ginny grinned. It was an almost evil looking smile.

Harry's face broke out in a grin. "Shall we Madame?" Harry offered his arm to Ginny

Ginny linked her arm with his. "Lets go."

When they reached the great hall. Ginny whispered to him, "I'll distract him while you sneak the Rainbow Sugar in his drink."

Harry just nodded back to her. He saw Hermione sitting down. He winked at Ginny then walked over to Hermione. "Hey Mione, do you have the notes for History of Magic?"

"Of course I do Harry. Why would I not have them? Let me guess, you somehow lost yours and you need to use mine." Hermione just shook her head at Harry. He was just as bad as Ron honestly!

Harry glanced over at Ginny and saw her engaged in a conversation with Ron. He saw her give him a wink. Harry reached in his pockets and pulled out the Rainbow Colored Sugar crystals. He watched Ron cautiously and poured the sugar into Ron's pumpkin juice. He glanced at Hermione, she was still looking in her bag for the history of magic notes. He quickly winked back at Ginny again, before he turned to Hermione. She finally found her notes.

"Here you go, and don't lose them again, Potter."

"Mione, Mione, would I do that?

Hermione just glared at him with a look that would make even Ron back off. "Yes, you would."

Loud laughing burst out through the Great Hall. Harry turned to look at Ron. He couldn't help laughing. Ron was glowing neon pink with electric blue and orange stripes here and there. He also had bright green splotches on him. The most hilarious was the florescent yellow. It kept flashing, like a muggle neon sign. Harry heard a soft laugh come from Hermione. Hermione's eyes caught his and she looked at Ron. Harry could tell that Hermione knew that it was Ginny and he, who had done that to Ron.

Harry roared with laughter when he heard Ron shout. "What the bloody hell is this? You did this Ginny, didn't you?"

As Ginny spoke up, she had tears streaming down her face from laughing so hard. "Yes Ron, I did, and so did Harry. Now, will you please stay out of our business. What we do together is none of your concern."

Ron glared at her and scowled Harry. He turned to Hermione for support, but saw that he wasn't going to get it from her, at least, not yet. Laughing, she backed away from him. "You got yourself into this mess and I'm staying out of it."

Ron turned red, well, along with all the other colors, and exclaimed. "The whole bloody world is against me." Then he threw his hands up and stormed out of the Great Hall. A trail of laughter followed behind him.

"Gin?"

"What Harry?"

"Well, do you think we were too hard on Ron?"

"Honestly Harry, I don't think so. Besides he deserves it for being such a prat to us."

"Yeah, it was pretty hilarious seeing the expression on Ron's face. I think Fred and George would be proud of us. So what time do you want to meet up to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, Gin?"

"How about 11:00, does that sound good to you, Harry?"

"That sounds perfect. I'll meet you in the common room tomorrow at 11:00."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Ginny leaned towards Harry to give him a kiss, but was untimely interrupted by an "Ahem," coming from Hermione. She had a stern expression on her face, but her eyes danced with amusement.

"Since you two are going to start a snog session in the Great Hall, I'm going to head to class, before it gets too late. Bye."

Harry never took his eyes off Ginny. He absent mindedly waved bye to Hermione. She just chuckled and walked off. He was so mesmerized by Ginny, he didn't want to pay attention to anything else but her. He bent over to close the remaining gap between them. Harry's hand caressed her cheek. He kissed on her cheek, and wished the moment wouldn't end, but he knew they both had to get to class. He pulled away reluctantly. Ginny smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can snog all day tomorrow."

Harry couldn't now hardly wait for tomorrow to come. Now it's off to a long lesson of transfiguration.
