Chapter 2

Over the next few days Hermione was by all accounts, acting rather odd. She had managed to scare the Gryffindor first years by demanding to know if they had any Weasley Wizard Wheezes, though they would have never told the Head Girl if it was true, she had ordered Harry to tell her every single little prank Sirius and his father had played against Snape and then there was the continuous jumping any time a door opened. She knew rationally that the twins wouldn't dare interrupt a class but she had become so high strung about it all, that logic didn't really seem to play a part.

After the nth time that she had completely stood up when the door to the Common Room opened, Harry and Ron unanimously agreed they needed to talk. Waiting for everyone to go to bed took a while, but finally when they had the room to themselves they gently led Hermione over to the sofa, so she was sat between them.

Worriedly, she alternated looks between the two. "What's wrong? Is it Voldemort Harry? You know the pain is only psychological. He's dead now so there's nothing to worry about. Or is it about-"

"Hermione! Stop, the only thing that's bothering us is you. You've been acting crazy, scaring everyone. At least, let us in on what's got you like this." Harry's concerned gaze made her feel guilty about how she'd been acting.

"Oh, I'm so sorry for making you worried-"

"What?! We… er… we weren't worried Hermione, just…scared that's all."

Seeing Ron look so uncomfortable about being something so 'unmanly', made Hermione smirk with delight.

"Sure, Ron. Of course you weren't worried, merely scared for me. I understand."

While Harry could have easily carried on watching Ron squirm, he was more interested in what Hermione had to say for herself. He hadn't seen her so worked up since she had found that the newest edition of Hogwarts- A History's release was being delayed.

"Hermione, back on track. What has actually been going on?"

"Ugh, sorry. Well, its blasted Snape, he's always making fun and embarrassing me and he's just…just argh!"

Hermione was getting so worked up, that Harry, saviour of the wizarding world, started to back away for fear of her. Ron however was almost giddy with delight.

"Wait does this mean you're finally admitting he's a greasy git? Are you joining the 'Snape Sucks' band-wagon? I'm so proud." He pretended to wipe away a non-existent tear.

"Well, yes I guess it does. I am so fed up with defending him all the time, when he's so…so…"

"Greasy?"

"Horrifying?"

"Hideous?"

"Horrible?"

"Revolting?"

"Repulsive?"

"Git like?" Ron added, having run out of true descriptive words.

"Alright, yes, congratulations you can insult like 8 year olds. I'm glad we established that." Hermione snarked. She was still uncomfortable with disrespecting teachers, though still needing an outlet for her anger against Snape.

Harry looked slightly ruffled but Ron, more versed in female moods i.e. Ginny, was just amused at this more rebellious side of Hermione.

"Ok, chill. What's your plan? We know you've got something cooking?"

Hermione sighed, she had been trying to plan something for three days now, and was ashamed to say that all she had come up with was talking to the twins.

"I want revenge. I need revenge so… I thought I would discuss something with the twins?" She ended it with a question. She was so out of her comfort zone that she was starting to lose confidence.

"So you want to prank him? Snape? Bat of the Dungeon? The man who makes grown men cry?"

"Um…yes?"

"Well, I'm in. Sounds fun. Right, Ron?"

"Um…sure, Harry." Ron's answer however, was slightly shaky and his face was a rather green queasy mess. It clashed beautifully with his red hair and freckles.

"Brilliant. Thank you, you two. Right so, a plan. I think we make a list of pranks and slowly work through the list. Cause him as much grief as he's given us." Hermione finished saying this with a full blown smirk, promising unending torture.

"Okay, so Ron, did you ask Fred and George for the you-know-what?"

"'Course, 'Mione." Hermione took a deep breath and whispered 'Alohomora' .

The whispered incantation echoed out in the cold dungeon corridor. Nothing happened.

"Damn." The harsh curse was followed by mutterings of a similar nature.

"Shh, what's wrong Hermione?"

"'Mione, did you just hope he was granted a pig's snout for a nose?"

"Yes, yes I did, Ron." She stated proudly, unashamed that her cursing abilities were that of a seven year olds (a middle classed seven year old).

Harry still serious wanted an answer. If there was actually some space underneath the invisibility cloak, he would have put his hands on his hips to join the almost pout.

"He's got wards around his office but it should only take a few minutes, the paranoid git."

And sure enough, after only the third demand from Ron of how much longer it was going to take, they were able to open the door.

"So everyone understands what we're doing? Alright, we'll do the spell altogether after three. One, two, three…"

"Aghhhhhhhhhhh!" The scream reverberated through the dungeons. Though it was but conjecture, the number of slytherin first years found to be utterly embarrassed by the state of their wet bedding, seemed to correspond with the shocking noise which woke up all but the heaviest sleepers in the dungeon. This only seemed to worsen the Professors mood since he had found his office completely turned into a toddler's ball pit. Even after many complex spells to reverse the affects it only seemed to turn everything into an obnoxious violent pink. Not particularly helping with his mood either.

Though, they were not around to actually see Professor Snape's reaction, the trio took particular delight to see his disgruntled appearance when they went down for breakfast. It did mean however that they got the full brunt of his suspicious looks aimed towards the Gryffindor table.
