Part one: Argument leads to pranking

Draco Malfoy sauntered cockily into potions class, smirking haughtily at everyone who looked at him. He caught sight of the golden trio, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and their filthy mudblood friend, Hermione Granger.

"Ah, Potter. So good to see you, how have you been?" He asked sardonically, smiling at him. Harry stared at Draco, his face twitching. "What do you want?" Ron asked, almost whining. Draco turned his molten silver gaze onto the redhead. "Still whining I see." He muttered, looking absolutely disgusted as he flicked his gaze up and down the red-head.

"I see you finally started washing your hair." Hermione piped up, pushing in front of Ron and Harry, folding her arms and glaring at Draco. Draco's face twitched as he stared at her. Damn, she was getting bold. "Filthy mudblood." He hissed, scowling. Hermione let her arms drop, clenching her fists, a look that could kill lining her face.

Both Ron and Harry grabbed her arms before she could lunge at Malfoy.

It was like that for the first week of school. They would argue, almost get into a fight, and get in trouble with professor Snape, who demanded silence at their foolish quarreling.

Finally, they all had enough of it, being that the only time they were in the same class was potions, and they were no longer allowed to argue. So they said to meet up at free time after lunch in the empty classroom.

"Alright, Malfoy. I'm tired of this bickering. It's time we-" Draco cut him off. "Forget it Potter, I'm not making friends with you!" he cried, disgusted. "We're not suggesting that, believe me." Hermione cut in. Draco glared at her. "It's time we settle this." Harry continued.

Draco suddenly looked interested. He raised his blonde brows. "Oh really? How? A wand war? A battle of wits?" he guessed. "Nope." Ron laughed. "Not even close."

Hermione glared at him. "Shut up Ron." She turned back to Malfoy. "If it weren't for Snape, we'd be able to argue in potions. But because he seems to not be able to take it, there's only one other way we can settle this, hence, defeating one and getting revenge on Snape." She told him.

He raised a silver eyebrow. "And that would be…?" He prompted. A smirk lit up Harry's face. "Pranks."

The moment Draco heard the word, a smile spread across his pale face. "Winner get's bragging rights for the rest of the time spent at Hogwarts. Loser has to suck it for the next five years. Deal?" Harry stuck out his hand. Draco smirked and took it. "Deal."

…

To even things out a bit, Hermione was forced to 'join sides' with Draco. Draco didn't care. He might hate Hermione, but he was no fool. He knew how brilliant she was. He knew she'd come up with clever pranks.

"For the sake of winning, Malfoy, I suggest we put our differences aside for this year." She suggested while they were meeting up to discuss what prank they should pull first. "Agreed." Malfoy settled without question. Hermione was slightly surprised at this, but her competitive side had kicked in, and all she could think about was beating Ron and Harry.

"Okay, so I was thinking about what we should do first, and I came up with the most clever idea." She was saying. They were sitting in one of the many empty classrooms. They only had five minutes before the bell sounded and they had to get to potions class. "What does Snape never do?" She asked.

Draco thought for a moment. "Smile?" He finally assessed. "Exactly." Hermione grinned. "So, what we do, is smile brightly at him every time he looks at us." She grinned. Draco thought for a moment. "I suppose it will freak him out a little bit, but it's a bit of a weak prank." He told her.

She frowned. "I've never really done this before." She sulked. "I suppose it'll be good for now, because we don't have time to think of anything else." He replied, looking at his timepiece just as the bell was sounding. "Come on." He grabbed her arm and started running out.

She followed him, silently wondering what Ron and Harry had planned.

Once they reached potions, they saw that Ron and Harry were already in there. Hermione and Draco shared a glance, then got to their seats, sitting next to each other for a change. They were sitting across from Ron and Harry, whom nodded curtly, eyebrows raised and smirks on their faces.

Just then, professor Snape walked in, and class began. Hermione nudged Draco with her elbow and he nodded, preparing to smile broadly every time Snape looked their way. They got their chance as his black gaze passed over them. They both plastered cheesy grins on their faces, causing him to stare at them for a moment, eyes narrowed, before shaking his head and beginning the lesson.

Draco and Hermione noticed him stop and stare at Ron and Harry. They turned to see them waving wildly at him. Snape stared at them, puzzled. "Is there something you wish to say?" he asked finally. They both shook their head, putting their hands down.

Throughout the rest of the lesson, Draco and Hermione grinned at Snape like idiots, while Ron and Harry waved at him every time he looked their way. By the end of the lesson, Snape was thoroughly confused and slightly ticked.

He had seemed, however, more ticked by Ron and Harry than by Hermione and Draco. "Looks like you guys won this round." Hermione sighed. "Wait, let's bring in an impartial third party and have them decide." Harry suggested. "Who?" Ron asked. "How about your sister?" Draco suggested. "Ginny? But she'd be partial towards me." He said, narrowing his eyes in confusion.

"She would also be partial to Ganger, what's your point?" Draco told him. "True. Okay, let's get her."

The kids grabbed Ginny as she was walking past and told her what was going on. "OH! So that's what you were doing!" She laughed. "I want in!" She begged. "Okay, you can be the score keeper." Ron told her. "Who won this round?" He asked. "I think professor disliked yours more." She told Ron and Harry. "It was definitely more annoying." She laughed.

"Okay Ginny, can you start keeping track of the score?" harry asked. "Okay, so one point for team… wait, what are your teams called?" She asked. "How about, we'll be team Pottley, and they can be team Grangoy." Ron laughed. "Whatever. Pottley one, Grangoy zero." She took out her notebook and wrote it down.

"See you tomorrow at potions." She told them, walking away.

AN: okay, so their first pranks were kinda weak, but that's expected, right? Do you think I should continue? I have a ton of awesome pranks in mind that will positively ruin Draco, Hermione, Ron and Harry's lives... Feel free to post your own ideas for pranks, I may just use them!
