Chapter 3 Ferret Droppings

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

A/N: Thanks to my beta evenstar.

Hermione thought of a prank to pull on Severus while she was grading some of the first year's homework. She was going to get some ferret droppings then she would leave a large pile on his desk. When he asks if she did it she would say that Draco Malfoy did it.

Hermione did as she planned, she got a hold of the ferret droppings. Then Hermione snuck into her husbands' office when he was not around. Then she put the droppings on his desk. All she had to do was to wait for his reaction.

Snape went to his office. When he opened the door, he got a whiff of a weird smell coming from his desk. He went over to it and saw what was causing the smell. It was, ferret droppings. Hermione was at it again. With his wand, he got rid of the ferret droppings and the smell. Snape decided to confront his wife about this latest prank.

Later at dinner, Snape asked her. "Are you responsible for the ferret droppings on my desk in my office."

Hermione told him. "No I did not do it. Draco Malfoy did it."

Snape looked at her strangely and said to her, "That is impossible for him to do it since he is not in the castle. Unless he popped in then did it and left again. Which I do not think he did. Tell the truth Hermione."

Hermione stood up and said, "Why should I tell you? I still insist that he did it, not myself."

Hermione left the Great Hall laughing to herself. She thought the conversation went well.

Snape did not know what to believe. So he went to his office and floo called Draco Malfoy.

Draco stuck his face and asked. "What did you want Severus?"

Snape told him what had happened. Draco laughed and said that he did not pull the prank on him. Hermione must have done it. That conversation ended.

Snape went to his and Hermione private quarters. He was going to corner his wife and tell her what he did. As he entered their quarters, he saw that Hermione was reading a book.

Snape then asked Hermione. "Why did you lie to me about this prank. I had a talk with Draco. He said that he did not do it."

Hermione lifted her head and said challengingly. "So what if I did. What are you going to do about it Severus?"

Snape went to her, took the book from her hands. He then sat down, and showed her what he was going to do about it.

Later when they were done Hermione told him, "That was some revenge. I enjoyed very much. I enjoy pulling pranks on you Severus you can be a tad stuffy at times. By me, pulling pranks on you, your reactions make you more human. There are more to come. I do not know how long I will continue to pull pranks on you."

Snape purred and said silkily. "By all means do it, but I will pull pranks back at you Hermione."

Then he took her by the hand and took them to their bedroom and then continued what they had been doing.

A/N: The idea for this prank comes from a list called: "Ways to annoy, harass, confuse, or generally scare Professor Snape."
