AN: Hi, this is going to be a slight twist on the classic prank war fic. Inspired by 'Reigning Champions' by Marari and 'Pet Project' by Caeria, it should stay quite light but there will be some serious bits and of course, the inevitable romance. If you have any ideas for pranks comment them, though I cant promise I'll use them all, I'll try. Anyway, enough waffle, enjoy.
Oh and before I get slated, I of course, own everything about Harry Potter. I am secretly living in a cardboard box and my true name is Jennifer Kathy Rowling.
Snape cackled as he poured the last ingredient into the potion.
Throwing his hands up as a puff of green smoke wafted upwards, he shouted to the heavens,
"I've done it! Finally I can take over the wooorrrld! Mwahahahaha!"
A faked cough brought Hermione out of her daydream. She looked up to find a rather irate Potions Master glaring down at her.
"Would you like to share with the rest of us what you find so amusing?"
Hermione flushed a vibrant red as she stammered out an apology. The whole while, Professor Snape just smirked at her in sadistic amusement.
As Hermione stomped out of the classroom at the end of class, she briefly checked that the door was closed before she started her tirade.
"Alright, that's it! That's the last time he embarrasses me for no reason-"
"Well, it wasn't quite without reason."
Hermione whirled around to face Harry. Her face filled with irritation.
"Really? You choose now to be sensible?"
Harry was going to protest but a hand on his shoulder and a beseeching look from Ron stopped him.
"Look mate, you know how she can get when she's in one of her moods." Ron said it softly knowing just the slightest provocation could bring her diatribe upon himself.
Harry nodded sagely, knowing exactly what Ron was warning him of. He'd known Hermione for so long that he'd been on the end of many of her verbal onslaughts.
Hermione was now muttering under her breath, her mind a whirl with ideas of revenge.
"What to do, what to do…"
Seeing Hermione was busy talking to herself and innocently thinking it was about some new school work or such, Ron started filling Harry in on what was included in his mum's latest letter.
"Oh yeah and apparently the twins are coming to visit me and Gin. I reckon they're coming just to make sure the kids who have bought their stuff have hid them from the teachers-"
"Wait- the twins? Brilliant! When are they coming? Why didn't you tell me before?" Hermione demanded, hands on her hips.
"Well, you didn't seem that happy with their choice of occupation."
"Nonsense, when are they coming?"
"In a few days?"
"Brilliant, I'll see you in a bit."
"Hermione?... Hermione?...Hermione?!"
