The following day had the twins holding the Marauder's map searching for the Stooges as they had taken the liberty to called their younger siblings, Hermione and the Headmaster... but they were looking for someone pacific....

.....One know it all spotted!!!

Hermione was outside in the yard heading down towards Hagrid's she was fuming with what had happened to Ron.... letting everything that had happened since last year spill from his very own mouth.... it was still going almost twenty four hours and it was getting ridiculous... they were specifically told not to tell anyone when they entered the school back in first year and here he was spilling the freakin' beans!!

She knocked on the door and waited for Hagrid to answer but when he did and saw who it was he wasn't happy about it.

"'ello 'minoe w'at 'ring ya 'ere?" he asked knowing full well she wants to know who could of pulled the pranks happening within the school as he still had his elephant ears.

"Hello Hagrid I was wondering if I could ask you some questions? I think you might know who is pulling these stupid and utterly ridiculous pranks on the school" she said in a matter of factly.

Yes he knew but he wasn't going to tell on them after what he had learnt from Severus and Minerva as well as Ron saying what he said last night, it disgusted him.

"So'ry 'minoe but I 'ave got som'whe'e I 'ave to be" and he closed the door and walked away, he wanted to be alone for a while to get his thoughts together.

She humped and headed back into the castle only to feel something cold and wet slipping down her hair and the back of her neck.

"Gross!!" she yelled making everyone in the hall to look at her, they couldn't see what was on her and why she screamed, only what they heard was quiet snickering and then running feet.

Everyone knew that the twins were behind this but due to practically everyone had been pranked even themselves they couldn't prove it as all.

Little did anyone else know that one snarky potions professor as well as one brave lions head were also helping them with everything, even though they were also pranked!!

Hermione went to her dorm room to start on her homework for the night, she had Charms, DADA as well as Potions to complete.

As she worked she started humming a Muggle tune that she always hummed when she was deep in concentration, her dorm mates found it weird and rather annoying that she did that but no matter how many times they told her to stop she would always start back up again!

By dinner that night she was complete and couldn't wait for her teachers to give her full marks as she had made sure to add extra points and information onto each essay that she had wrote, they were perfect in her book.

The following day Hermione was full of herself she knew that she would get full marks and couldn't wait until her essays were given back to her at the end of the class what she wasn't expecting was annoyance from her teachers of all things!!

"Miss Granger what on earth is this that you've given me?" asked Filius when he came to hand out all of the homework and singled her out!

"My homework professor and I hope that it exceeds all my others I spent almost all night on it!" she sung happily to him only for him to look at her in shock.

"Miss Granger, this is nothing but scribbles on the parchment!" he said shocked.

"No it can't be, I spent all night on it, it's perfect!" she yelled at the small professor.

"Oh can it Granger!" said a Slytherin to her tutting that she would argue with a teacher and Flitwick at that, one of the nicest professors around!

((Besides Sev and Minnie he's my third favourite teacher))

She stormed out of all her classes when they were finished screaming that she did all her homework and that the teachers were against her and it was infuriating to say the least!

In Gryffindor tower Hermione was sitting on the sofa, cushion in hand screaming into it as Ron and Ginny came walking back in wondering why she had stormed out from Potions.

"Hey 'mione what's wrong?" asked Ron as he sat down next to her but she didn't hear him as she was still screaming into the cushion, Ginny saw this and slowly pulled the cushion away from her and when they both saw her crying they admitly wanted to ask her what was wrong.

"Everyone has said that all my work that I've done is just scribbles, everything looks like a child has written it. They said they couldn't make heads or tails out of it all! I worked so hard on my work! I don't know what they are on about!" and she screamed into the cushion again.

"Would it be aright with you Hermione if we saw your work, just in case that is" said Ginny to her distraught friend and so she gave over all her work to them so then they could look it all over to see if anything was out of order.

When both of them looked it over they didnt see what the teachers saw, they saw was Hermione's perfect neat hand writing as well as many different types of notes and outcomes of all the subject of the homeowrk, this girl loved her work and would make sure that it was correct 100% before handing it in.

"Well I can't see anything wrong with it all!" said Ron to his friend making his sister nod agreeing with him on it all, she saw nothing wrong at all.

No one noticed that two red heads were watching the whole thing play out and tried not to laugh at their siblings and their friend, it was way too funny, so in the end they headed up to their dorm and once they entered the fell on the floor laughing so hard that they had trouble breathing.

Fred and George asked one of their female friends to go into the second year dorm room and look around to see if there was anything else they could use against Hermione, their friend was happy too as she was disgusted with what Hermione and Ron had done to poor Harry and she was happy that he finally had someone looking out fo him.

When she went into the dorm she asked one of the dormates which bed was Hermione's and she pointed it out right away as most of the Gryffindor's all took a dislike to the once 'goldren duo'.

When the older year stepped closer to the bed she spotted parchments on with test questions on for all subjects, all right mind you as well as another parchment indercating prices on what she was selling them at. As she looked again at everything she noticed a self writing quill sitting there, just waiting to be given an order to write.

She was about to pick it up when all of a sudden it jumped up and started writing, she took a look at what it was writing and noticed that it was a history report, on the Goblin Wars. As it wrote away she tuned to the dorm mate and asked "how long has this been happening?" only to get a reply of "since before Halloween in first year" meaning eighteen months and no one had cottoned onto it.

"Thank you for that, its been really helpful" and she turned to leave but was stopped by the second year saying "it needs to stop, it isnt fair for everyone else who does the work like we are meant to. She's been getting away with it for far too long!"

"I think it's time we went to Professor McGonagall about all of this and let her decide what to do with all of this evidence" and she gathered up all of the material and headed back out only to be met by over half of the Gryffindor's all wanting to go along.

The trio knew nothing of what was going on, they were still trying to figure out what was going on with Hermione's school work to notice now that they were left alone in the tower.

In McGonagall's office a faint knok could be heard from outside and so she let them enter only for over half of her lion's to enter, she was shocked.

"What brings everyone here? Just before dinner I might add?" she asked them, the dorm mate of Hermione stepped forward and told her everything that had happened over the last school year and how Hermione was using a self writing quill and selling answers to everyone within the school. Other students told her of the bullying that the younger Weasely's and Granger had been dong to poor Harry, getting a cheap way out of homework by getting answers of Hermione.

Minerva was fuming and they could tell right away and just turned to one of her lions and said "please bring Miss Granger to me at once and if you can get all the evidence I would be thankful for" the student nodded and left the room to get Hermione, only for Fred and George's friend hand over everything that she had gathered up.

Once she placed it on Minerva's desk the rest of the lion's left narrowly missing Hermione walking into the office once she knocked.

"Miss Granger please sit, we have a lot to discuss and I like to get this done before dinner tonight" said Minerva as she motioned for the second year to sit down in the chair in front of her desk.

"Professor what is this all about?" asked Hermione to her only for her head of house to sigh and gathered her thoughts before she continued but before she could Hermione chimed up about her work and that she has asked other students if they could read them and they could but Minerva just sighed again.

"Miss Granger please, it doesn't have to do with that at this very moment what I want to know is why you would be selling test questions, classwork and being allowed to use a self writing quill to complete all your school work without the knowledge of being caught in the act?" she asked getting more annoyed as she explained everything that was sitting on her desk.

Hermione jut looked at her like she was stupid, saying nothing to it all, she wanted to deny it but she knew she wouldnt be able to get away with it all, she was such a bad lier!

"Well I'm waiting Miss Granger?" said Minvera to her.

"Professor I don't know what you're on about I would like you to please tell what is going on" said Hermione looking shocked but up at the same time scared that she was going to cotton on with what she has been doing the passed eighteen months.

"Well Miss Granger, I would like you to explain what these items on my desk..." she pointed to the parchments and quills that belog to Hermione "...that belong to you and that you have been using them for unlawful means. Please do care to explain yourself" said Minvera.

Hermione didn't know what to say as she knew they belonged to her and would get into trouble if she said that they weren't but if they she didn't she would get into more trouble. She didnt know what to do either.

She hung her head and sighed, she knew she wouldn't get away with it now, everything was there in front of her.

She nodded and started to cry quietly... "yes Professor it's true these are mine, I was selling answers to the other students" but she mentioned nothing about the self writing quills.

"Miss Granger I have checked these items and each and every item has your particular magical signature all over them, so I would like the truth!"

"Professor the quills aren't mine honest to Merlin they aren't..." but she knew it was lying to her professor she would live with that, she didn't want them to be destroyed she had spent so much on them she couldn't afford to lose them.

"Miss Granger you are lying to me".

Hermione looked at her and knew that if she kept putting it off she would most likely be expelled from Hogwarts and she didn't want that to happen, Hogwarts was the best thing that ever happened to her, she didn't want to go back to her boring muggle life, back to being normal.

"Yes Professor, they belong to me. I have to be honest to you I only wanted to be the best witch around, I didn't want to be out done because I'm Muggleborn! I just wanted to prove myself! I didn't care if I had to cheat to do it!" said Hermione getting more and more worked up.

"Miss Granger, I don't understand why you did this but I don't think cheating and selling answers to your peers is the right way to go about this all. I have also have heard that you have been bullying poor Mister Snape about the adoption of all things, you were once friends.

I herby take away all of your own personal quills, you will be using one given to you by the teachers each and every lesson, you will be sitting up at the teacher's desk so then we can keep an eye on you, you will return all the money that you gained from selling the answers to your peers. You will have detention with me for the next three months and you WILL rewrite all your assignments.

A spell will be cast on your parchments so then we will know if you have used a self writing quill or not. Your first detention will be tonight after dinner for two hours and like I said you WILL be writing all your essays with me. Now off to dinner" and with that Hermioneleft the office.

Minerva sat back in her chair and sighed this was going to be a long rest of the year, who knew her lion's could be so vicious!
