Epilogue

They ended up getting busted eventually. Colin was in front of the prefect's bathroom at the wrong time. They had been caught on film coming out of the bathroom with the bottle of dye in their hands.

Dumbledore was quite impressed with the prank. He said it was one of the best there was in the history of Hogwarts. The trio got off with detention with Snape, who just made it into a minor celebration. They were scared at first. Since when does Snape throw parties? Especially for his "least" favorite student?

Snape, it turned out didn't hate them as much (if at all) that they thought. He thought Hermione was a very good witch. He had, after all, given her spectacular grades for being a Gryffindor in Snape's potions class. He also thought that Ron and Harry weren't that bad.

At the end of the year, they decided for old time's sake, to prank Malfoy. It took several days, but they got him good.

Malfoy had been walking around the corridor when he stepped in conveniently placed pile of dog doo. He spelled it clean, but the smell was stuck to him for some reason. He walked into the Great Hall for dinner, when the entire school burst out laughing.

Hermione had done a tricky, little charm and gotten his whole body covered in dog doo that he couldn't see. He had to have Blaise Zabini tell him what was going on before he knew why they were all laughing at a "dignified" member of the house of Malfoy. When he found out who did it, he uncharacteristically laughed with them. Soon after, Malfoy joined the trio. The next year, all five of them made everyone else's lives miserable.
