Introduction:
Hello everyone. I have read several one shot stories of Harry Potter online. I have been thinking about this for a long time and now I am making my own home for one-shot ideas and possible future stories.
This will mainly be a home to one-shot ideas, but hopefully will contain possible first chapters to use in possible later stories for FanFiction.
Hope you enjoy them!
Invisible Chaos
"It's an Invisibility Cloak," said Ron, a look of awe on his face. "I'm sure it is — try it on."
Harry threw the cloak around his shoulders and Ron gave a yell.
"It is! Look down!"
Harry looked down at his feet, but they were gone. He dashed to the mirror. Sure enough, his reflection looked back at him, just his head suspended in midair, his body completely invisible. He pulled the cloak over his head and his reflection vanished completely.
"There's a note!" said Ron suddenly. "A note fell out of it!"
Harry pulled off the cloak and seized the letter. Written in narrow, loopy writing he had never seen before were the following words:
Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you.
Use it well.
A Very Merry Christmas to you.
There was no signature. Harry stared at the note. Ron was admiring the cloak.
While Harry was staring at the note, a truly evil smile played its way onto his lips. It wasn't an evil smile that would grant thoughts of death. It was a smile of a prankster being born.
The Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, had no idea or clue about the power he had just unleashed inside the halls of Hogwarts.
The only one that had a clue was drunk on sherry. "Prankster's paradise will be the downfall. An omen has been unleashed. No one is safe."
However, as Sybil Trelawney was by herself in her tower, no one heard her give her true genuine prophecy.
After the Christmas Feast, Harry picked out his first targets for his prank of invisibility, as he liked to call it.
He stalked the pair throughout Hogwarts. Eventually the two targets ducked into an unused classroom. He managed to slip in the door before it closed on him.
"Hello, Harry," the Weasley twins said, pulling his cloak off of him.
Harry stood there, stunned. How did the twins realise it was him that was under the cloak. And most of all, how did they know he was under a cloak of invisibility? He didn't realise the answer was the strange parchment that was slightly hanging out of Fred's pocket.
"How did you know I was there?" he asked incredulously.
"We have our secrets," they both said. "We'll tell you it someday. But know this, we'll always know if you're there behind us."
Harry frowned. He didn't like being left in the dark. "In that case, I'm not telling you where I got the cloak."
The twins looked at each other. "Fair enough, Harry. But why aren't you using that to prank other people than ourselves."
"We haven't angered you," Fred quipped.
"Not yet anyway," George chimed in.
"And there's a certain greasy haired man we know who deserves your torment since he's tormented you," they both said.
Now the evil smile was back. Fred and George were right. There were people who actually annoyed and angered him who actually deserved it. It was a shame Malfoy had gone home for the holidays. Harry would have had an enjoyable time pranking the blond haired moron.
In Malfoy Manor, Draco Malfoy, who was sitting by a warm fire, suddenly felt extremely cold. How could that be? the Malfoy scion had wondered.

That night Harry managed to sneak into Snape's Quarters after the man had left for the Dungeon to do some private brewing. Smiling viciously, he took out his anger on Snape's Quarters while staying under the cloak.
When Severus Snape had finished his brewing three hours later, he sleepily entered his quarters, only to become instantly alert when he saw the carnage. All of his windows were wide open, his sofa was overturned, all of his papers were strewn all over the room, and his bed somehow got stuck to the ceiling.
"Oh bugger me."
Snape had been furious and tried to blame Harry. But Ron, ever the loyal friend, testified to both Dumbledore and McGonagall that Harry and he were in their Dorm playing Exploding Snap. They easily believed him and sent him on his way to the fury of Snape. Back in the Common Room, he and Harry shared a high five and proceeded to play Exploding Snap as that was the deal for him backing him up.

For the first time ever, Harry was delighted to see Draco Malfoy enter the Great Hall once the holidays were over.
Malfoy was completely unaware that Harry had already sneaked into his Dorm in the Slytherin Dungeons the day he came back. After gloating to his cronies and classmates about all the stuff his father bought for him for Christmas, he went to bed.
Exhausted and tired after the train trip though, he decided it wasn't worth putting on his pyjamas before jumping happily onto his bed. However, he wasn't expecting his bed to completely cave in or his bed sheets to be soaking wet.
When Blaise Zabini came to bed however, he noticed that Malfoy wasn't anywhere in sight. Believing he would get to sleep before the pompous boy would show up, he started getting ready for bed. But then he heard the groaning sound coming from Malfoy's collapsed bed. When he found Malfoy he smiled ("Better him than me") but he still called for help.
Two days later Malfoy was released from the Hospital Wing.

He hadn't learnt his lesson though.
Once he started antagonising Harry though Draco was the unfortunate victim of a few accidents. One night while sleeping his peaceful dream turned to nightmares of angry hippogriffs mauling him to death. His hair had turned pink and he had been the victim of a near flash fire that left his arse in pain for a week.
He knew it was Potter immediately. Potter would always send him that evil little smile after those accidents. He tried sending letters to his father to complain, but Lucius had enough hearing his son complain about Harry Potter over the holidays, so to Draco's shock, he had received an embarrassing howler from his father during the middle of breakfast telling him to leave Harry Potter alone and to stop 'stalking' him. He had run from the hall in embarrassment from that to loud laughter.

Once Harry started making his name as a serial prankster, the Weasley twins took him under their wing and he started pranking along with them. They finally shared their secret of the Marauders Map with him near the end of First Year.
Harry provided them with the Invisibility Cloak and the three of them went around Hogwarts pranking those who deserved it, mainly racist students who hated everything the light and Harry Potter stood for. Including a very irate greasy haired Potions instructor.

1992
One morning at the start of second year, the Great Hall heard loud shouting from outside the staff door at the back of the hall by the Teachers Table.
"I'M NOT GOING IN THERE," they heard Snape bellowing.
"Severus Snape, you're not staying in your quarters again for a meal," they heard Dumbledore speak. "Come out and socialise."
The staff door opened to admit a strange sight. The Headmaster dragged Professor Snape in. Except he didn't look like Snape.
Severus' Snape hair had changed. Instead of long, greasy hair, his hair had become an abomination. It was now a 1980s afro with red and gold colours to it. Most of the people in the hall ended up snorting into their plates to cover up the laughter, although many dared to laugh. Three of those were Harry Potter, Fred and George Weasley.
Severus scowled as he glared at the trio at the Gryffindor Table. He knew full well that Potter was in cohorts with the Weasley twins and that he was responsible, no matter what.
It scared him though, that the son of James Potter was prank partners with the Weasley Twins. He did not believe the school was yet ready for that.

1993
"So Harry," Fred asked in a whisper. "What did you do with that dungbomb we sold you earlier."
Harry looked up at one of his closest friends. "Malfoy," he simply said, with a grin.

Draco Malfoy smiled as he made his way into the Common Room. He had that oaf up for investigation for introducing that damned hippogriff in class. He got ready for bed when he found a note at the foot of his bed.
Take a look down the toilet, third stall by the window.
Confused and curious, he went into the bathroom and into the third stall by the window. He turned his head downwards to see a message written inside the bowl.
Call off the investigation or it will get much worse.
Angry, he flushed the toilet to get rid of the ridiculous message. However, that flushing triggered the dungbomb.
From the toilet itself a foul, rancid, partially liquefied brown sludge exploded outwards and covered Draco head to toe and the stall was now painted brown. Draco sat down on the toilet seat and buried his head in his hands, uncaring at that moment that he was absolutely filthy.
The door to the bathroom opened and Marcus Flint came in. When he saw the mess he believed Draco had made he glared at the younger boy.
"THAT'S IT," he shouted. "I KNOW YOU CAN'T AIM RIGHT BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. YOU'RE OFF THE QUIDDITCH TEAM. AND CLEAN THIS MESS UP."
Flint's shouting brought a large mass of the Slytherin Common Room up to see what was going on. When they saw the self-proclaimed Slytherin prince covered in what they believed was his own doing, they all laughed. Less than twenty four hours later the entire school heard about his 'accident'.
Tired of all the pranks and harassment he had to endure daily from Potter and the Weasley Twins, a part of Draco grew up. He approached Harry Potter once he was all cleaned up and offered a truce. As long as he called off Hagrid's investigation and stopped using the 'M' word the truce was accepted. Initially he was going to say no to that last demand but quickly thinking his hair might turn red and gold like Snape's, he agreed to the offer.

1995 - 1996
Dolores Umbridge was baffled and angry.
Many times throughout the year she tried to have the chance to get Potter into detention and expelled, but someone was derailing her at every turn.
Her office was broken into constantly and important papers had simply vanished. And every time she would send a member of the Inquisitorial Squad to a certain location they would vanish for a few hours, later found wandering around Hogsmeade and annoying Madam Rosmerta.
She could not determine what was happening. Cornelius was constantly warning her to stay away from Potter and not expel him, stating that the Magical World needed him. He was saying the complete opposite back until September.
What she didn't know was that Harry Potter now had the entire Malfoy family in his pocket, after making a deal with Lucius Malfoy to keep his name out of the media in exchange for a partnership and ensuring that Cornelius Fudge behaved himself when it came to thoughts of evicting him from Magical Britain.
When she received word from a valuable source early in the year of 1996 that Harry Potter was teaching a Dark Arts Club, she gathered the Inquisitorial Squad to inform them what to do, not realising that Draco Malfoy was fingering a special coin deep in his pocket. When they arrived at the alleged meeting, there was not a soul or a wand in sight. Dumbledore's Army had been warned in time.
But she didn't realise a prank spell was cast on her from ten feet away under a very special cloak.
Harry and the Weasley Twins then snuck back to Gryffindor Tower before they laughed away on the sight of live toads following Umbridge everywhere for the rest of her days.
