"Mr Potter, of what do I owe the pleasure."

Oh that was just cold, Harry thought with a wince as he came into his favorite teachers office.

"I came to apologise for ah storming off earlier." Harry said calmly, keeping his face blank as he watched his favourite teacher continue to write without looking up once.

"What should you have done in such a situation?" Snape inquired and Harry almost grimaced at how much the man reminded him of Salazar at that moment, the Slytherin Founder could be absolutely relentless when he wanted to.

"I should have retained my cool and dealt with the situation rationally. It was also highly disrespectful to disappear like I did."

Snape finally looked up and motioned to the seat in front of his desk, Harry sighed in relief; he was forgiven.

"You look worn." Snape told him, Harry rolled his neck.

"I've just come from Theo and draco then my father after that Sirius and Remus." Snape actually winced.

"Well on better terms, I've confirmed it with the Headmaster and you are allowed on the team." Severus told him and Harry grinned, "However,  the Headmaster also allow the next Merlin on the Gryffindor team."

"What!? Oh come on!"

"As expected, the Headmaster immediately granted it, going further by giving permission for her to have her own broom." Snape smirked slightly, "Which means you are also allowed to have your own broomstick."

"Brilliant." Harry said, "If Dumbledore wants to see his Golden Girl crushed on the pitch as well as the classroom then so be it."

"Do not make my choice a mistake." Snape dismissed him and Harry laughed, rising up and walking towards the door.

"Sir, without overcompensating, I'm probably better on a broomstick than I am at making potions."

He caught up with the rest of the first years as they headed up to dinner, and Harry grinned at the two.

"Dumbledore got the Girl-Who-Lived on the Gryffindor team and she got given permission to have her own broom, which means..."

"You can have your own broom too." Draco finished, smirking.

"Yep, and I can't wait to crush her."

"It's going to be beautiful." Theo agreed, "You'll have to talk to Flint, apparently he's brutal."

"It'll be worth it."

"I'm kind of jealous."

"Don't worry, as soon as it's humanly possible to get you on the team you'll be right there with me." Harry assured, "There can be no other way."

After dinner the trio sat down and began planning ways to make Evangeline feel as miserable as possible, sharing somewhat evil looks at some of their good ideas and then smirking. The rest of the common room seemed to give them a wide birth, not wanting to know what the devious trio were up to now.

"Seeing as we now have a few plans for Evangeline how about we call it a night." Draco said late into the night.

"Yes we now have a plan to make Evangeline's life hell for the next couple of weeks but we will need inside help," Theo commented.

"Oh?"

"Yes, I agree we will need the twins." Harry stated simply.

Over the course of the next few weeks the trio made their plans with the help of two ginger twins and now it was time for action since it was the end of October. A beautiful snowy owl swooped down towards the Gryffindor table, catching the attention of the majority of the hall. She dropped her letter in front of the Weasley twins and soared off leaving many curious. The twins read the letter and left, much to the surprise of the rest of the hall and no one noticed three Snakes slip out the hall at the same time. In a hidden archway four people stood looking positively evil.

"So slip this in to her shampoo and put this on anything she uses daily." Harry handed the twins a bottle and a powder.

"What will it do?" They asked in sync, there was nothing pleasant about the trio's smiles.

For the rest of the day, the Draco and Harry set up the magical 'tripwires' in every class room and the Great Hall, so every time Evangeline walked through the doorway it would reactivate the prank, even if it had been removed. While Theo set up the word trip of her name to make as another trigger.

Marcus Flint cornered Harry in the common room telling him to get a decent broom and be on the pitch that night at 6, Harry was left blinking at the abrupt demands and the sudden departure and slowly shook his head, deciding to go and see his father and Sirius since they are never separated, as the other two said they wanted to catch up on some homework and write to their parents. As soon as he arrived, Sirius leapt up and handed him a long package, grinning wildly.

"Open it!" James said excitedly.

"Oo present!" Harry said equally excited. He tore off the paper and whooped when he caught sight of Nimbus 2000 on the top of the broomstick. "Uncle Siri, this is amazing!" he cried, rushing to hug the man. "Oh Circe have I wanted one of these! Look at it — its beautiful."

The design of it, the sleekness and the balance put all other brooms he had ever been on to shame; it was fantastic.

"I can't wait to take this out on the pitch!"

"Your father has the carvings done and I just picked out which broom." Sirius said excited.

"Well off you go then," James ordered, "You still have time and you don't have any lessons left."

"You're the best, both of you." Harry declared, running off after hugging them. He ran all the way back to the dungeons, falling in to the common room and wordlessly holding out the broom to Draco, who took it with a gasp.

"A Nimbus" He exclaimed, "That's the best broom there is!"

"Sirius and my dad just gave it to me," Harry explained, "Wanna come out and practice on it?"

"Of course" Draco and Theo confirmed. The trio darted from the common room, getting to the entrance hall quickly and rushing down to the pitch. Where Harry leapt on to the broom and took off, cheering at the ridiculously fast speed and very smooth flight.

"What other stunts have you got up your sleeve?" Draco called to him, Harry grinned and placed his feet on his broom. Working with the balance, Harry stood in a fluent motion, he flew like this slowly at first before he picked up speed. He sailed past the pair, who was smirking but shaking their heads at their friend's antics, and readied himself for a trick. He stepped back and bent his knees, as soon as he reached a straight stretch he jumped and flipped in the air. Draco nearly screamed when Harry didn't land on his broom, instead he caught himself with his hands and pulled himself up, grinning madly. When the raven head landed, he received a punch in the arm from a very pale Draco and Theo.

"What was that? Are you trying to kill us?" The blond demanded.

"That was amazing, it's the first time I've landed that perfectly, usually I fall!" Harry said breathlessly, Draco swallowed. 

"I dunno if it's such a good idea you playing Quidditch now." Harry looked affronted before grinning back a Theo.

"Here, its your turn." Harry said, handing over the broom.

"Wicked!" Draco said, accepting the broom and kicking off. Draco was very good, same went with Theo and they showed previous experience in the air and  both circled the pitch. 

"Come on let's go cause trouble before Flint puts me through my paces." Harry said once his friends all finished. Draco smirked and the trio walked back to the common room. Harry rummaged around in his potions store and pulled out two phials of clear liquid. 

"We need to clear the Entrance Hall so we'll have to consort with the twins." Harry said handing one bottle to each of them.

"What does this do?"

"It's timed transfer glue, we are going to spread it in the Entrance Hall and it works based on a time delay, from the moment it coats your shoes it'll stick solidly to the floor every 15 minutes."

"This is going to be brilliant."

The pair dashed up to the Great Hall, where people were filtering in and out from the late hours of the night; the twins, luckily, were just leaving so the trio ran after them and pushed the pair in an all too familiar alcove. 

"Gred, Forge."

 "Oh look Gred its Harrykins." 

"Yes with his little blond and brunette friends, " said friends rolled their eyes.

"Gentlemen I believe you like to cause mass mayhem and disturbance." Harry said with a smirk

"Of course." They answered together.

"Well if you could cause a massive disturbance so the Entrance Hall is completely clear for ten minutes me and Harry here would be most appreciative." Theo told them, and the twins grinned.

"Note to selves stay away from the Entrance Hall at all costs in the morning." Fred said.

"When will the prank on Evangeline kick in?" George asked.

"Monday morning and let's just say it will be a very interesting few days."

Harry and Theo lingered discretely in the Entrance Hall waiting for the signal, while draco stayed watched out, they didn't know what to expect from Fred and George Weasley; the pair got high praise for their pranking from Sirius and that was never a good sign. They jumped when a catastrophic boom sounding from many floors above, and that told them the twins had started. Teachers and students alike ran up to see what was going on and the two Snakes didn't have to wait long before the Great and Entrance halls were silent. From opposite ends Harry and Theo poured the entire contents of potion on to the stone floor and watched as it spread like wild fire, coating it in a clear sheen. When the entire floor was covered it sank in making it look ordinary and the pair ran back to the dungeons grinning evilly as they went.

"We had better warn Snape or he will kill us." Theo said and Harry nodded.
