It was breakfast time in the Great Hall and Severus and I had agreed last night, so as to not draw suspicion to ourselves that we would carry on in our prank war.
Due to this, I had an epic prank planned for today and seeing as how I had Ron as my slave, (pause for evil gin), I planned on making Ron do it but making sure that Severus knew it was really me.
I leaned across the table to inform my slave, a.k.a Ronald, that today was his lucky day.
"Ronnykinns…Guess what you'll be doing today?" I said while plastering an evil grin that said, 'You'll wished that you never existed by the time I'm through with you'.
"This is what I want you to do. Go up to Snape at lunch time and grin at him. Then look sad, and then grin again. Just as he's about open his mouth to say something, yell at him, "Hermione has new socks on. They have bats on them. They remind me of you. Do you want to see them?". Then get away before Snape hexes you into next year." I said.
Ron looked stunned, and then started to sob. "I don't want to die. I'm too young to die." he said.
"You're not going to die. He'll know it's me and give me the detention and torture. You'll be fine. I promise." I said with a smile, and kissed his cheek.
Harry and Ginny had been doubled over with laughter as I told Ron what he had to do. I patted Ginny on the back and said I'd see them in class and headed off to the library to look up a charm to get bat socks.
Not only was this prank designed to throw the heat off Severus and me, but it was also to get back at him for the sign he permanently stuck to my back. I wouldn't have minded if it said something witty or funny, but no. It said "Insufferable know it all." Like, what the hell? What is wrong with the man? So this is why I must embarrass him in front of Remus and Sirius yet again. It really is the only way that he'll learn his lesson.
The day passed quickly and lunch time arrived. Ron was looking green, so I thought I'd cheer him up.
"Hey Ron, it's not that bad. Professor Snape looks like he's in a great mood." I said knowing full well that Severus was in one of his darkest moods. I could tell this due to the black scowl firmly in place and also because Trelawney was sitting in the seat beside him. Oh well! He'd soon be cheered up. Hehe!
Ron looked up towards the head table and saw Snape. He looked like he was going to run, so I grabbed a hold of his jumper.
"Right. I think now's the time to do it. Have fun, Ron." and with that I promptly flung him out of his chair and towards the staff table.
Draco, Harry, Ginny and I, all watched as the show unfolded before our very eyes.
Ron approached the staff table grinning like a lunatic, waddling his way towards the end of the table where Severus sat.
Severus shot Ron a look of distain and was just about to ask what the hell Ron was doing, when Ron butted in and yelled, "Hermione has new socks sir. You're on them. They show your bat wings. Do you want to see? Let's go take a look?" and promptly tired to pull Severus over the table and towards us.
Although Ron didn't do it exactly as I said to, it was still hilarious. Severus was totally not pleased. He couldn't comprehend that he was be dragged towards Gryffindor table and that Ronald Weasley had yelled at him. The great potion master of Hogwarts was yelled at and dragged by a Weasley.
I couldn't contain the laughter any longer and fell backwards off the bench because I was laughing so hard.
Soon most of the Great Hall had joined in. Severus realizing that it was a pranks snapped into action.
"Fifty points from Gryffindor and two weeks detention with Filch, Weasley. And a months detention Miss Granger for orchestration of this ridiculous prank." he yelled as he stormed passed and slammed the door of the Great Hall behind him.
It was a while later before the giggles subsided, and peace was restored once again.
