Category: Humor/Romance
Summary: Hermione undergoes a change in thinking and is determined to enjoy her last year to the fullest. Wacky hijinks and crazyness ensue leading to a list of amusing new rules for her, friendships with slytherins, and romance. This is my first attempt at any kind of fiction so please be kind. Constructive critisism is wanted, flames will be ignored. Hermione is a little OOC because of her change in thinking.
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns the Harry Potter Universe and all it's characters, I'm just playing with them for a bit. There may be slash as I said so you have been warned. I got the basic Idea for this story from the list 213 things skippy is no longer allowed to do in the army. I stole some of those things on the list as I could just hear them being said in the HP universe.

Chapter 3
The first weeks of term went by rather well. Hermione didn't study quite as much and didn't spend all her time in the library. This had shocked her housemates at first but they seemed to be getting used to it, and having her around more. They had even started including her in games and talks in the common room that she had missed spending her time in the library before. She had continued to sit near the Slytherins in Potions and had even joined the few that were in her Arithmancy course. While she wouldn't say they were quite friends yet she did get along rather well with Pansy and Mils as she prefered to be called. She had even had a few decent conversations with Malfoy in Arithmancy.
She had found that right before sixth year that he had found out that alot of what his father had told him were lies and he had had to reavaluate his thinking with the help of his mother. His mother had even taken him and some of the other Slytherins to the muggle world to see what it was really like. Once he had made decisions and started thinking for himself he had shown the other Slytherins what he had learned and most had followed in his footsteps of finally thinking for themselves. He had told her that he had found out that Muggle born witches and wizards were nothing like he was led to believe. Though with as strong as she was and her top marks he should have seen that before. That was probably the closest she would get to an apology from a Malfoy and knew that even that much had cost him his pride, so she threw him a smile and had said that when your parents tell you something is true you believe it to be and left it at that.
Her classes were going well despite not sitting in the library 24-7 and she was rather glad to find that though she liked to study she didn't have to go all out and stopped worrying about how her NEWTS scores would fare with her lack of study power this year. She had even gotten into a little bit of trouble sneaking out with Ron and Harry to the kitchens one night. She had written her parents and despite their talk over the summer was relieved when she recieved a letter back saying they were glad she was having a bit more fun and acting like a teen instead of so adult this year. They had went on to tell her as long as it was nothing serious, ie life threatening, expulsion, dangerous etc, that they would not be concerned if she got any detentions. That's when she came up with her plan. Being the reader that she is she had read even the student written books and remembered the book written in by various students handed down year after year giving all the records and facts and stories of the students in Hogwarts over the many years. She had remembered frowning in concern when she had read that the Weasley twins had held the record for the biggest amount of pranks, the best and most original pranks second only to the Marauders and the most detentions in a single year.
Thats where her plan had come from. Being Hermione and wanting to do her best no matter what she was doing, making a place in the book for her for something besides most hours spent in the library (Though some Ravenclaws did beat her there) appealed to her. She knew she would never be able to beat either the Weasley twins or the Marauders in amount or best and original pranks but she was determined enough she decided she would beat their detention record. Not only would she beat it but she would have a new record for the most amusing ways to get detention. And if she irritated Professor Snape a bit in the process that was just a bonus. Though she did like and respect Snape she still thought he was overly snarky to the Gryffindors so didn't feel too badly about planning most of her ideas for him. Who knows she thought to herself maybe I can even get an entry for the first Gryffindor to get him to openly smile. She was a bit worried about house points but she also figured that most of the professors gave out house points when she did something well in class so she could make up for it enough. And if not well this was her last year and the house rivalry was really stupid so she didn't really care if they won or not.
*~*~*~*~
Today was the day. The day she put her plan in motion. If she was lucky not only would she be getting her first detention of the year but people would remember the reason and be talking about it for awhile. If only for the fact that the bookworm did something amusing. If in the back of her head a part of her was screaming about willingly trying to get detention she was determined to ignore it. She may have to scrub cauldrons but she was going to have fun getting there. Having the nature she did she reasoned that she knew most of her professors well enough to gauge reactions to certain things and had been planning accordingly. She inteaded to eventually get some of the Slytherins in on her plans as she would need help with some of them but for now she looked forward to people wondering just what the hell was going on with Mione.
Potions was going farely well. They had all gotten the ingredients into the potion and she was now chatting with Pansy and Mils. Knowing Professor Snape as well as she thought she did she put her plan into motion and took out a sugar quill and started chewing on it while chatting with the girls. Pans leaned over and whispered.
"If Snape see's you with that he's gonna throw a fit"
"I know" She replied with a grin.
Sure enough a few moments later Professor Snaped stalked over.
"Miss Granger is that a sugar quill you are chewing on in my class"
"Yes Sir" She replied trying to look a little wary
"Well Miss Granger unless you have brought one for everyone there will be no sugar quills in my classroom. 10 points from Gryffindor." He sneered and walked away.
Yes She thought. Anticipating just that reaction she dug in her bag and started passing out sugar quills to everyone in the classroom. The muffled giggles of his students alerted Snape that something was going on and when he saw that all of his students now had sugar quills to chew on he rounded on Hermione fiercly.
"Miss GRANGER there will be NO chewing on sugar quills in my class EVEN if you brought one for everyone. Detention tonight 8pm for your cheekyness" He fairly screamed. "Now put those away and get back to work before I give you all a zero for the day"
Everyone calmed down and went back to working on thier potions though the occasional giggle could still be heard. Pansy leaned over while Snape was on the other side of the room.
"Oh my god Granger that was brilliant. I can't believe YOU did that. That was almost Slytherin of you." she giggled.
"You'll be sorry for it though tonight in detention. But Pans is right that was bloody funny. Not to mention it made Snape blow a gasket. Way to go." Whispered Mils.
"Yes well I don't care about the detention it was worth it for the laugh." She told them.
"Besides" she said "I've got like one detention my whole time here and that was first year I have alot of years to make up for don't you think?"
"Oh my" Pansy smirked "is the goody goody Gryffindor going bad"
"Hm... Maybe I'm just being corrupted by my Slytherin friends" she said with a cheeky grin.
Pansy and Mils looked at her a bit as that was the first time any of them had referred to the other as a friend and then smiled.
"Well it's about time" was all Mils said as they finished off thier potion and took it to Snapes desk.
She waved goodbye to Pansy and Mils as she met Harry and Ron in the hallway.
"That was bloody brilliant Hermione" Ron laughed. "Did you see the look on the greasy gits face when he saw you did bring one for everyone. Oh that was priceless."
"It was funny Mione but now you have detention with him tonight. That was very unlike you are you ok?" Harry asked.
"Oh Harry thanks for worrying but I'm fine. Just decided to have a little fun this year as I said and I knew he'd say something about one for the whole class." she laughed "it's an almost universal teacher thing. Besides a few detentions won't kill me. I've gone 6 years without hardly getting into any trouble as you well know." she stated in her lecturing tone.
After all Hermione was still Hermione. She hadn't changed that much.
Ron looked at her funny. "I knew those Slytherins would be a bad influence on you"
"Now Ron maybe I'm just taking a leaf out of your book" she said grinning at them.
"Just don't get into TOO much trouble Mione we wouldn't want you to get expelled." Harry added trying not to laugh.
"Besides" she told the laughing duo "Now I have a new list."
"Oi Mione and what list is that?" Ron asked
"Things Hermione can no longer do at Hogwarts" she told them with a smile "Number one, Not allowed to chew a sugar quill in Potions, unless I brought enough for
everybody. And Number Two, Not allowed to chew a sugar quill In Potions even if I *did* bring
enough for everybody." She said as she doubled over laughing.
Harry was looking at her as if he had just discovered her. "How come I get the feeling thats going to be a long and amusing list by the end of the year Mione?" He laughed.
"Now shall we get to class boys? I may be trying to have a little more fun this year but that doesn't mean I intend to get less than good marks" with that she walked into Transfigurations the two boys trailing behind both wondering "What's up with Mione?"
