For language

All the characters, locations and general ideas belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own the plot of the story and the character named Any, and or anything you may not recognize.


"In this chapter you'll see how much Any loves me and Fred." said George

"That's right" said Fred


Dealing with Prejudices

The next day was a bit awkward for Any. Ginny, as expected, was no longer talking to her and apparently had led other girls into doing the same. It was difficult to get through the day, since she was also a fifth year. The only one that didn't seem to mind talking to her was Luna Lovegood.

" Don't worrie, it will go back to normal after the ball." said Luna

" I hope so. Are you going?"

" Yes, Nev ille asked me and I accepted."

" Cool."

" Come on or we'll be late to potions."

Proffesor Snape didn't make things easier. He started making nasty comments on how people tend to make enemies by relating themselves with the wrong persons.

" Professor Snape, I would appreciate if you didn't put your abnormally large nose into my business." said Any after she couldn't take it anymore.

A couple of students laughed.

" Detention Ms. Almeida. You should really learn to control your mouth." said Snape

" I don't have to take this!" said Any collecting her things and heading towards the door.

" If you leave, you'll have to go to the headmaster's office." warned Snape

" Fine with me."

She walked out the door.

As she got in front of the gargoyle she remembered something.

" Oh, great! I don't have the password. Marshmallows!"

The gargoyle moved aside.

" Huh? But I … That's the password? Dumbledore's a funny man."

She nocked on the door.

" Come in." said a voice.

Any made her way into the office. She thought it was creppy in a sort of way.

" Ah, Ms. Almeida. What a pleasant surprise." said Dumbledore. " But you, however, don't seem pleased to see me."

" I would've been pleased if I was to be here in other circumstances, headmaster."

" I see, who sent you here?"

" Proffesor Snape. I confess that I really shouldn't've yelled at him, but he really should keep his opinions to himself. And why did he send me here, he already gave me a detention?"

" It's a good thing that you acknowledge your faults Ms. Almeida. I shall speak with Severus and reschedule your detention."

" Reschedule it? But he didn't say…"

" If I know Severus, Any, he is bound to have you serve detention on the date and hour of the upcoming ball."

" He wouldn't ?" said Any as if that settled matters.

" Believe me, he would. You may leave now."

The third week of school was finally over. This weekend was Hogsmeade weekend. Everybody 3rd year and up were allowed to go. Any, however, wasn't all that excited.

" Any, you're not going?" asked Hermione

" No, I don't feel like it." she said simply

" Come on, let's go. You can stay with me, Ron and Harry. Or, perhaps just Harry."

" Are you saying that for my benefit or yours?"

" What do you mean?"

" Because that would leave you and Ron alone. After all he did ask you to go to the ball with him."

" Your benefit, of course."

" As much as that sounds tempting, I got some business to take care of around here."

" You got that detention with Snape today?" asked Hemione

" No, but the potions Master is the thing I want to take care of."

" Any, what happened to you? Lately you've been doing things I would've nev er dreamed you were capable of. It's like you're growing a piece of the Weasley twins inside of you." – the brunette observed.

"That's what happens when you're forced to hide the mischiveous part of you for nearly 15 years, for being the Minister's Daughter."

After the incident in Proffesor Snape's office, Any had been doing some mischiveous stuff ind eed. Like putting truth potion on the potions Master's pumpkin juice or putting a niffler in his office. She had not been caught of couse, but if she had, it would have been worth it.

Ron arrived.

" Hello Any. Hermione are you ready? Let's go."

" See you later Any." said Hermione

" Bye."

The two left. Then it accured to Any. She ran towards the entrance hall.

" Hey, Harry, can I borrow your invisibility cloak?"

" Why? What do you need it for?" asked Harry

" Let's say I'm going to give Professor Snape an afternoon full of surprises, for a change."

" Any, don't go getting yourself in trouble again."

" Oh, don't worrie, you'll still have your date for the ball."

" Well, I do want to have something to do with getting Snape angry, so ok. It's underneath the pillow on my bed."

" Thanks."

This would be the day Snape would completely lose it. That'll teach him for giving me a hard time last year, Any thought.

When the people that were going to Hogsmeade left, Any went to the Gryffindor tower to fetch Harry's invisibility cloak. She followed his intructions and found it. There was also a piece of old parchment under the pillow.

" This must be the Marauders Map, I heard Harry talking about." she whispered. She tapped the parchment with her wand and said the magic words.

Imediately the castle and grounds came into view.

" And there goes Snape. He's away from his office. Great!"

Any made her way toward the dungeons. When she got in front of the class's front door she checked if Snape was still away, he was. She entered the classroom and got to work. It was after 20 minutes that she finished. The room looked stunning. The walls had turned from black to pink. The curtains were tied in the middle of the windows letting the Sun in.. Tea cups were set on every table,except on the teacher's table. That one was full of the sweetest sweets you could ever imagine. The white board which used to be black had the following words: " Have a day full of sweet adventures, sincerely P. Snape,". The whole classroom turned from grey and black to pink and white.

" Po rtable Girl's World." said Any admiring her work. " good thing I made friends with Fred and George. I owe them so much." After another glance at the Marauder's Map, checking for Snape, Any made her way back to Gryffindor tower under the invisibility cloak. She put them back in their place. Then she sat down in the common room. Dennis creevey came in.

" I got a message for you, Any. Professor Snape said that since you didn't go to Hogsmeade report to his office for detention." he said" What! I can't believe him! But perhaps this shall be fun." said Any recalling the surprise awaiting Snape. He wouldn't be able to redecorate the room until Tuesday, because of it's magic. Fred and George were geniuses.

When Snape entered his room, he almost exploded. He couldn't believe hie eyes. For a moment he thought he had gotten into the wrong room. Any, who was at his side, had a hard time containing her laughter.

" This has your doing written all over it, Ms. Almeida!" said Snape angrilly. " I sahll heve you expelled for this."

" Excuse-me, professor? I didn't do any of this." said Any crossing her fingers behind her back.

" You think you're so funny…"

Professor McGonagall, the transfiguration teacher, come in.

" Nice decoration Severus." she said

" It's all thanks to this girl here, from your holy Gryffindor House." said Snape with disgust in his voice.

" I would appreciate it if you stopped accusing me without proof Professor Snape." said Any

" I know it was you!"

" Now Severus,I don't believe Ms. Almeida would do such a thing." said McGonagall

Trying to contain her amusement.

" You'll be surprised on what she can do. It was her who put truth potion on my juice and the niffler into my office."

" Professor, I only came here to serve detention, not to be accused of odd things that happen to you." said Any looking as if she was about to cry.

" Snape, I think Ms. Almeida has gone through enough. Ti would be nice if you apologized, but let's mark it as detention." said McGonagall

" Fine, go! Get out of my sight girl." said Snape " but I will find a way to get you expelled!"

Any walked away pleased with her triumph. I can't wait until Monday, she thought.

Dinner time came closer. Everyone arrived from Hogsmeade. At the Great Hall…

" Man, I'm so full of sweets. I can't even look at this food." said Ron

" I told you to save some space for dinner." said Hermione

" Look there's Any. She looks thrilled."

" Hey Any!" called Harry

" Hello guys." she said

" Mind to tell us what you did this afternoon?" asked Hermione

Any got up and came closer to the trio.

" When do you have Po tions next week?" she asked

" Monday."said Ron

" Boy are you in for a big surprise."

" What did you do?" asked Hermione

" You'll see." said Any as she she walked away.

" She's gone mental, that one."

" That's what a week with Fred and George can do to you." said Ron stuffing his mouth with mashed potatoes.

" Huh?"asked Harry

" Didn't I tell you? Fred and George really liked Any. They said she was different from most girls. Therefore they convinced her aunt to let her work their shop foe a week, to cheer her up you know."

" That explains it. She's brainwashed!" said Hermione

"I just want to know what she did to Snape." said Harry

Sunday passed without any news, except perhaps that Snape was taking every teacher to his classroom to help him restablish it without any luck. Why he was doing that, nobody knew, well expect Any.

Monday morning…

" Oh, no, we have Snape first thing today." said Seamus

" I wouldn't eat to much for brea kfast if I were you Nev ille." warned Any

" Why, afraid Profossor Snape's going to make me throw up?" asked Nev ille

" Oh, no. I think you may find that today P. Snape is in the mood for, I don't know, a tea party."

" I wis h!"

" Wis h granted."

The bell rang. The sixth years made their way to the dungeons. When they got into the classroom it was a blast. Laughter arose everywhere. As the students took theirs seats the tea cups began filling themselves with tea. Plates were filled with sweets at the teacher's desk and then flying their was towards the "guests".

" Hey, do you think maybe Any's a fairy?" asked Nev ille

" Don't be ridiculous, Longbottom." said Dean

" This is del icious." said Ron helping himself to custard creams.

Snape came in the room looking grim.

" Take your seats, and please disregard the mess within," he said " or else."

He tried to empty his desk, but every time he did so more sweets would appear out of thin air.

" When I find the one responsible for this, he or she will be out of here." said Snape

The class didn't go well. The tea cups kept trying to make the students drink from them. Every now and then the white board would have written stuff like: 'More sweets dears?', 'Be careful!', ' Drink your tea!'.

Snape was going to have an off day.
