How To Correctly Break Rules

AN: This is the end.
Chapter Sixteen: Epilogue
The next morning the five teens slept in, it had been a very long night. They woke up just in time for lunch.
They separated, as they had all slept in the Head's Common room last night, and went to their own rooms to get dressed.
Somehow, they all managed to be dressed and outside the Great Hall at the same time.
Ron opened the door and they walked in.
Dumbledore stood up from the head table. He gestured for the five of them to come to stand in front of the Head table. Casting a Sonaras charm he started.
"Last night these five students and Professor Snape, who has been undercover as a Death Eater, defeated an evil that we had long-time feared. They snuck away in the middle of the night to give a surprise attack on Voldemort. They defeated him and all of the Death Eaters. We have these five to thank. All I have to say, Children, is 'We are Free'."
The students in the Great Hall stared at their Headmaster and the five of them in shock and silence.
"Really?" One Ravenclaw asked timidly. Dumbledore chuckled.
"Yeah, really, ya Dolt." Draco scowled at him. "Would we be up here looking like idiots if it wasn't true?"
"Ah, there's the Draco we've been missing." Ron said sarcastically. The room erupted in laughter.
"Was wondering when he would show up." Harry grinned at Draco.
Hermione pulled Draco into a kiss.
As she released his lips he grinned and turned his head. "Oh, and by the way, the 'Plan' to make Hermione a conquest and then dump her was Ron's idea. We've actually been together since the second week of school!" The room sounded like one large gasp.
Pansy stood up and screeched and ran out of the great hall.
"Today, all classes are canceled." Dumbledore said. "Today we are celebrating the Defeat of Voldemort. And now, The Feast!" The tables were filled with food and the students started eating.
Draco noticed several of the Slytherins were quiet and weren't eating. He went over to the table.
"I'm sorry. I know a lot of your Fathers were killed last night in the War." Draco said. Several eyes looked up at him. Some were filled with anger, and some were filled with tears as they hadn't known about their parents deaths until Dumbledores speech. The anger faded slightly from some of the eyes as Draco whispered, "Mine was as well."
"Who killed my father?" Blaise asked with anger in his dark eyes. "Was it you?"
"No, all of the Death Eaters were killed by a Dragon. Harry killed Voldemort."
"Oh, give over, at least don't lie to us." Blaise said angrily. "If you're man enough to kill them, at least admit it."
"I'm telling you the truth."
"And where is this so called Dragon?"
"He's out finding the last of the Horcruxes."
"What the hell are those? Stop lying!" Blaise stood up and shouted. The Great Hall went silent.
"He's not." Harry said as the other four came up beside him.
"Really? Prove it, where is this 'Dragon'?"
"Ifrit's Hellfire." Harry smiled. Blaise stared at him.
"That's proving it?"
"Just wait for it." Blaise glared at him.
A loud roar shook the Great Hall. All of the students looked up to see something big fly past the windows the owls use to deliver the mail.
Everyone jumped up and ran out of the Great Hall and out of The castle gathering in a large group on the grass.
The Dragon soared around in a circle before landing before his five masters.
"Hello, Ifrit." Harry said. The Dragon bowed low.
Harry came up and patted Ifrit's snout.
"Have you found all of the Horcruxes yet?" Harry asked looking into the Dragons eye.
Harry uses his newfound Legilimency (that the author forgot to use in the war) to see Ifrit's thoughts and memories.
He saw Ifrit destroying seven Horcruxes.
"Is that all of them?" The Dragon dipped his head in affirmation. "Well, then I thank you. We all thank you." The other four came up and slid their hands over the Dragons scales.
"Ifrit, you are dismissed." Hermione said. The dragon crouched down to the ground as the five teens stood back, and lifted off, flapping his great leathery wings. He flew straight up about sixty feet and started to glow gold. The one dragon separated into the five individual dragons. They flew as one towards their individual amulets and disappeared as they touched them.
Draco looked at Blaise. The dark haired boy sighed and nodded in resignation before walking away.
Seven days later...
"Goodmorning, students. We had some help in the war from some very unlikely places." Dumbledore said at Breakfast one Morning. "Nearly Headless Nick helped us test out a spell that in the end was the cause of Voldemort's demise. Give Nickalas a round of applause." The students all applauded. "And our other helper was our resident Poltergeist; Peeves. In order to recieve his help, however, he asked for something in return. From this exact time to this time tomorrow, you will be under new leadership. So, with a very heavy heart, I'd like to present to you, Your temporary Headmaster: Peeves."
Peeves popped into sight in Headmaster robes and the weird pointy Wizard's hat. It even had the white stars on it.
Dumbledore moved out of his chair and Peeves took his seat. With a wave of his hand Peeves filled the tables.
"I have an announcement before you start eating. There will be no classes today, all rules are removed, except those which cause serious harm unless followed. And no punishments unless given by me. If someone has a complaint you are to bring it to me immediatly. My ruling is final. However, the forbidden woods are still forbidden. And fighting and dueling are still not allowed.
"Also, this afternoon after lunch, we will be having a Water Balloon War on the Quidditch pitch. Now, Rub-a-dub-dub, enjoy your grub!" Everyone was too shocked to eat.
'No Rules?' Hermione thought. 'That's madness! However he has done nothing that isn't within a Headmaster's power. And he has left the important rules.'
"Stop it!" Draco said beside her.
"Stop what?" She huffed.
"Stop being such a good-two-shoes and enjoy the day. I bet you'd have fun in the Water War." He smirked. He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Besides, no rules means we can be naughty all we want." He licked her ear with the tip of his tongue.
Hermione threw down her fork and dragged Draco from the Great Hall.
They didn't make it to their room, which they realized was a good thing afterwards since Marie was still visiting. Draco dragged her into an alcove and proceeded to ravish her without fully removing any of their clothes.
They were had just finished when they heard a chuckle. They looked up to see Snape smirking at them before continuing on his way.
'He is soooo going to get it.' Hermione fumed to herself as they fixed their clothes.
The Water fight was more epic than the war with Voldemort. Which was strangely a good thing.
Peeves was the General for the Females, since he wanted to be on Ginny's side, and he declared Snape as the General for the Males, much to his utter digust.
Ginny and Hermione faced off agaist Harry, Ron, and Draco.
Peeves declared that the first team to use all of their five thousand water balloons on the other team was the winner. No magic was allowed. Any cheating by popping the balloons without firing them at a opposite sex target was prohibited and another fifty balloons would be added to stack per misused balloon. And the cheater would be ejected from the war, leaving them double penalized.
Draco got kicked out of the game when he put two water balloons down his shirt, declaring himself a girl, and started chucking water balloons at Harry and Ron.
They battled until dark, with the girls team winning when all but about ten boys were left with more balloons than they started out with due to all the cheating.
Even Dumbledore had paticipated in the fight and looked like a strange kid, with his twinkling eyes and soggy beard.
And Even Snape had been caught laughing a time or two.
The tired, saturated warriors had eventually gone in and dried off in time to all be seated for Supper in the Great Hall.
All of the students stayed up late as there was no curfew.
The next morning the bleary-eyed students dragged theirselves to the Great Hall for Breakfast where Peeves stood up.
"These past twenty-four hours have been the most fun I've had in hundreds of years. I thank all of you for not breaking the few rules I've set. Not a single student was injured. I now, relenquish my role as Temporary Headmaster." He said and moved out of the Headmaster seat.
Dumbledore took his position and cast the Sonarus charm on himself.
"I have decided that every year from now on, on April first, Hogwarts will have Peeves as our Temporary Headmaster and we will have a day of festivities and shananigans exactly like we've had these past twenty-four hours. Because I, for one, have thouroughly enjoyed myself." The Great Hall shook with cheering and applause. "You all may begin eating." He said and the food appeared once more.
Two days after Graduation...
"Is this really necessary, Miss. Granger?" Professor Snape said.
Hermione grinned as she held his hand and dragged the blind-folded and magically-made deaf Snape along. Draco, Harry, Ron, and Ginny were laughing hysterically as they stood behind them.
"Where are we, and why does everyone keep bumping into me!" Snape grumbled sourly.
Hermione just grinned and squeezed his hand as she pulled him forward a few more steps.
"And what's with all the stopping and starting?"
After about thirty minutes she finally pulled him forward and sat him down. She placed somthing acrossed his chest and into his lap. She strapped her self in, removed the spell so he could hear and tucked her wand away in a safe place.
"You can take off your blindfold now." Hermione grinned. He pulled it off at gaped at his surrounding and promptly started screaming bloody murder as the rollercoaster started up the track.
"Payback's a bitch!" She giggled as the rollercoaster flew down the steep incline.
THE END!
AN: The story is over. I might make a sequel about the war that Snape has probably declared on Hermione. If there's enough demand for it. You want it? Ya got to review. I'm better at the funny stuff than the lovin and fightin. If my sad epic battle between voldemort wasn't proof of that! I can't believe I forgot to use the Mind Reading Arts! Oh, and the part about Draco pretending to be a girl in the water war actually happened at camp when i was 17. My friend Chad did that. He actually looked alot like Draco except with dark brown hair and eyes. Yes, I asked him out! I'm not an idiot! Of course he already had a girlfriend. Who saw that coming?
