AN: all right, in this chapter that Jennifer and Cooper pull the prank on Snape, I decided that they should do it after what Harry learns in the forest. Albus's prank might be next chapter. I have a couple of ideas for a prank to pull, however I am still thinking about it. Feel free to throw out ideas for Albus's prank, who knows, I may even use one of those ideas later on if I can manage it.
It seem that Quirrell was braver than they thought, in the weeks that followed that he did seem to be getting paler and thinner but it doesn't seem like he cracked yet. Every time they passed the third floor corridor that Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Jennifer and Neville would press their ears to the for to check fluffy was still growling inside. Snape was still sweeping about in his usual bad temper of which means that for the time being that the stone was still safe. During he weeks that followed her Jennifer started telling people off for Quirrell stutter while Ginny and the others did other things to help Quirrell. There was one thing that Jennifer and Cooper decided to do of which was to do Snape's prank but they needed some help from three people. Jennifer knows that there would be any problems of the two helping them but it was more of the question if the third person would be willing to help. There was a good chance that he may help or not, but considering what he was known for that he would help. So Jennifer and Cooper waited in the classroom, after a couple of minutes that George and Fred entered the classroom. Just as soon as they entered that sleeves zoomed into the classroom, Fred spoke.
"Peeves, why are you here?" Jennifer jumped down from the desk she was sitting on.
"We asked him to come here. We need his help to trigger the prank, we need your help in setting it up." At the word prank that the three paid attention, it was George that spoke.
"What do you have in mind and who are we going to prank?"
"We are going to prank Snape in the entrance hall." Jennifer and Cooper pulled out two extra paintball guns that her father sent to her before Jennifer and Cooper turned to the others. "This is what we are going to do."
The next morning, Jennifer, Cooper, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Neville were sitting at the gryffindor table eating breakfast. Just down from them were the Weasley twins of who were whispering, both Cooper and Jennifer knew what the Weasley twins were talking about. It seems both Ginny and Hermione noticed for Ginny spoke up.
"I believe they are planning a prank."
"That seems that they do all the time is prank. They will get into deep trouble some day." Ginny was about ready to respond to Hermione when there was a screech and a bang. Jennifer bit her lip and Cooper seem to bit his tongue from laughing, the Weasley twins were close of laughing. Jennifer could barley hear the sound of sleeves laughing and went zooming away from the scene. There was a hell of Peeves before making the great hall go silent and watch the doors, than the doors banged open to reveal Severus Snape. As soon as everyone saw Severus Snape that the whole hall, but Slytherin and Hermione, started to laugh and some ever fell to the floor laughing at the sight. Among them was Neville that fell to the floor, Jennifer figured seeing Snape like he was at the moment would make Neville's day. For Snape's robes were bright pink, his skin was green while his hair was bright red as well as combed, shampooed and back into a ponytail. To top it off that his hair, skin, and robes were covered with scarlet and gold glitter, so that he looked like he was giving a makeover by Aphrodite the goddess of love or something.
Jennifer put her head on Cooper's shoulders while Cooper was banging his head on the tensile trying to get himself from laughing. Snape tried to put the blame on Harry, Ginny, Neville or the Weasley twins, but that didn't work at all since there was no proof that none of them had anything to do with the prank. Jennifer was surprised that he didn't try to put the blame of Hermione, Cooper or herself, of which was just fine with Jennifer. The only one who seems to have anything to do with it was Peeves but it was common knowledge that Peeves would prank most of the castle or at least the students. As far as anyone knows that Peeves never pranks Snape before, after leaving the great hall that the twins managed to find Jennifer and Cooper by themselves. The four of them burst into laughter when he entered a class room by themselves, after they managed to stop laughing that Fred managed to speak.
"You are two are awesome."
"You know, Forge."
"What is it, Gred." George gestures to Jennifer and Cooper.
"We should make them honorary Weasleys. Kneel you two." Jennifer and Cooper looked at each other before they knelt down, Fred and George pulled out their wands. They tapped both Jennifer's and Cooper's shoulders with their wands, as they did that they spoke in unison.
"We, Forge and Gred Weasley dubbed thee two as Weasley and henceforth called Joper and Cifer Weasley." As soon as Fred and George did that, that Jennifer and Cooper burst into laughter.
Albus's pov
After what happen at the farm that he decided to stay away from there, not only that but he noticed of how close Jennifer and Cooper were. They were so close that if he tried to take them apart that they would leave, besides the fact that Phil made it clear to him that there was nothing Albus could to take Jennifer and Cooper away from each other. He has to do something to get Jennifer to his side and fight for the greater good, otherwise he fears that if Voldemort returns that the wizarding world would be doomed. What he didn't expect one morning when there was a yell or screech before Severus entered the Great shall wearing pink robes, glitter, and red hair that was cleaned and pulled back. Albus looked around the hall, wondering who did it, his eyes landed on the gryffindor table for that was the table that was laughing the most. It was hard to tell of who would have done it, since all of the gryffindor a were at the table and there was no real proof that any of them did that. After Severus tried to blame some of the Gryffindors that were in the hall when Severus was prank that Albus began to wonder if anything else could go wrong.
Jennifer's pov
In the next week that there was more things on Jennifer's mind than the stone, for exams were coming up in a couple of months. For the teachers began piling more homework on them, Hermione was drawing up study schedules that were color coded with all of her notes. Just to get her mind off of Voldemort for the time being that Jennifer followed her example as well as Cooper. Though it also gave them a reason to figure out the prank for Dumbledore, they were still unsure of what to do with that prank. They were not planning on bringing Fred, George and Peeves on this prank, unlike the one with Snape. They couldn't do the same thing to Dumbledore as they did with Snape, for unlike with Snape that Dumbledore wouldn't be embarrassed by that. Since they seen him wearing different and many colorful robes, so having glitter and dressed in hot bright Barbie pink robes wouldn't do. Despite their ideas for prancing Dumbledore that they still need to work on exams, they seem to be doing a lot of homework over the Easter holidays. Like before and after Christmas that they found themselves in the library, one afternoon that Neville slammed a book and burst out
"I'll never remember this." Jennifer jumped a little when Neville did that, it was rare when Neville did something unexpected. The last time Neville did that was when Neville managed to give Crabbe and Goyle a black eye when they tried to hex Neville a couple of weeks ago. However Neville was forgetful, he has a harder time remembering things than everyone else. Jennifer stretched just as Neville spoke up once more. "Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?" Jennifer turned around just as Hagrid shuffled into view, Jennifer could see that he was hiding something behind his back. Hagrid looked very out of place in the library with his moleskin overcoat on. When Hagrid spoke that his voice was shifty and he looked a little suspicious as well.
"Jus' lookin'. An' what're you lot up ter? Yer not still lookin' fer Nicolas Flamel, are yeh?" Jennifer spoke up.
"We found out about him ages ago. We figured out Fluffy as been hiding as well. That he is guarding the stone."
"Shhhh!" Hagrid looked around quickly to see if anyone was listening. "Don' go shoutin' about it, what's the matter with yeh?"
"There are a few things we wanted to ask you, as a matter of fact, about what's guarding the Stone apart from Fluffy -"
"SHHHH! Listen - come an' see me later, I'm not promisin' I'll tell yeh anythin', mind, but don' go rabbitin' about it in here, students aren' s'pposed ter know. They'll think I've told yeh -"
"All right. See you later, then." Hagrid shuffled off, Jennifer looked after Hagrid as Ginny spoke.
"What was he hiding behind his back?"
"Do you think it had anything to do with the Stone?" Jennifer got up form where she was sitting.
"I'm going to see what section he was in." When Jennifer got there that she was surprised of what section that Hagrid was in of who knows what could be in that section. Jennifer grabbed some of the books before Jennifer walked back with a pile of books than Jennifer slammed them down on the table. "Dragons! Hagrid was looking up stuff about dragons! Look at these: Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland; From Egg to Inferno, A Dragon Keeper's Guide."
"Hagrid's always wanted a dragon, he told me so the first time I ever met him. When I ran into him in Diagon alley before school started." Ginny spoke up.
"But it's against our laws. Dragon breeding was outlawed by the Warlocks' Convention of 1709, everyone knows that. It's hard to stop Muggles from noticing us if we're keeping dragons in the back garden - anyway, you can't tame dragons, it's dangerous. You should see the burns Charlie's got off wild ones in Romania." Cooper spoke up.
"But there aren't wild dragons in Britain?"
"Of course there are, Common Welsh Green and Hebridean Blacks. The Ministry of Magic has a job hushing them up, I can tell you. Our kind have to keep putting spells on Muggles who've spotted them, to make them forget."
"So what on earth, Hagrid up to?" A few hours later that Jennifer and the others were at Hagrid's hut, when he reached there that they were surprised to see the curtains closed. They knocked and told Hagrid of who it was before he let them enter the hut, as soon as they were inside that Hagrid quickly closed the door. For some odd reason that it was stifling hot inside the hut, even though it was warm day that there was a fire in the fireplace. Hagrid made them tea and offered them some stoat sandwich of which they refused.
"So - yeh wanted to ask me somethin'?"
"Yes, We were wondering if you could tell us what's guarding the Sorcerer's Stone apart from Fluffy." Hagrid frowned at Harry when he said that.
"0' course I cant. Number one, I don' know meself. Number two, yeh know too much already, so I wouldn' tell yeh if I could. That Stone's here fer a good reason. It was almost stolen outta Gringotts - I s'ppose yeh've worked that out an' all? Beats me how yeh even know abou' Fluffy." Jennifer spoke in a warm and flattering voice, one that she learned from Melinda when she was younger and used plenty of times on her father. Even though he was all too aware of what she was doing and where she learned it, though he always smirked when she does that.
"Oh, come on, Hagrid, you might not want to tell us, but you do know, you know everything that goes on round here." Hagrid's beard twitched and Jennifer could tell he was smiling. She thought, bingo. "We only wondered who had done the guarding, really. We wondered who Dumbledore had trusted enough to help him, apart from you." Hagrid's chest puff at the last words, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Cooper and Harry beamed at Jennifer.
"Well, I don' s'pose it could hurt ter tell yeh that... let's see... he borrowed Fluffy from me... then some o' the teachers did enchantments... Professor Sprout - Professor Flitwick - Professor McGonagall -" Hagrid started to ticked them off on his fingers, "Professor Quirrell - an' Dumbledore himself did somethin', o' course. Hang on, I've forgotten someone. Oh yeah, Professor Snape."
"Snape?" Jennifer looked at Neville when he said that.
"Yeah - yer not still on abou' that, are yeh? Look, Snape helped protect the Stone, he's not about ter steal it." Jennifer knows that the other four were thinking the same thing as she was, that if Snape was in on protecting the stone than it must have been easy to find out of how the other teachers guarded the stone. It seems that Snape knows everything of what the other teachers did expect how to get past Fluffy and Qurriel's spell. Jennifer spoke up.
"You're the only one who knows how to get past Fluffy. aren't you, Hagrid? And you wouldn't tell anyone, would you? Not even one of the teachers?"
"Not a soul knows except me an' Dumbledore." Harry muttered to the others.
"Well, that's something." Jennifer was getting hot in the cabin because of the heat and the windows being closed was not helping.
"Hagrid, can we have a window open? I'm boiling."
"Can't, Jennifer, sorry." Jennifer noticed that Hagrid glancing at the fire so Jennifer looked at the fire as well.
"Hagrid - what's that?" But she knew what it was, in the very heart of the fire was a huge black egg that was under the kettle. Hagrid fiddled nervously with his heard.
"Ah. That's er..." Ginny crouched over the fire to get a closer look at the egg as she spoke.
"Where did you get it, Hagrid? It must've cost you a fortune."
"Won it. Las' night. I was down in the village havin' a few drinks an' got into a game o' cards with a stranger. Think he was quite glad ter get rid of it, ter be honest."
"But what are you going to do with it when it's hatched?" Jennifer was wondering the same thing when Hermione asked that question. Hagrid pulled a large book from under his pillow.
"Well, I've bin doin' some readin'. Got this outta the library - Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit - it's a bit outta date, o' course, but it's all in here. Keep the egg in the fire, 'cause their mothers breathe on I em, see, an' when it hatches, feed it on a bucket o' brandy mixed with chicken blood every half hour. An' see here - how ter recognize diff'rent eggs - what I got there's a Norwegian Ridgeback. They're rare, them." Hagrid looked pleased with himself but Jennifer and Hermione were not pleased at all.
"Hagrid, you live in a wooden house." But Hagrid wasn't listening as he hummed merrily while he stroke the fire and after a while that Jennifer and the others left the hut.
