The Pumpkin Affair

A disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

It was Snape's first potion's class of the day on Halloween. It had been a while since anyone pulled a prank on him. This was going to change today. Today's prank was being done by some of the teachers, including Dumbledore.

Professor Snape went into his classroom to begin the class. The students were already in their seats. What he saw around the room was a lot of lighted pumpkins in different sizes. Each one had a different design on it. Some of the pumpkin looked good. While the rest of them looked like a child did them. The pumpkins made the classroom look cool and spooky. Snape was astonished at what he saw.

Snape asked the students, "Who is responsible for these pumpkins in the classroom?"

No one answered at first. Then several of them told him, "We do not know who did it."

Snape did not believe them. What he did not know that the students were telling the truth, they did not know who pulled the prank.

Snape decided he was going to banish all the pumpkins. When he tried to get rid of them with magic, something else happened instead. The ugly pumpkins just blew up getting bits of pumpkins on him, and the rest of the classroom, including the students. It was quite a mess. The nice pumpkins just kept multiplying. No matter how hard he tried, or what spell he used to get rid of the pumpkins did not work.

He was insanely angry and frustrated. The students just laughed at what had happened, even though they were covered in pumpkin pieces themselves.

Snape told the students, "Take these pumpkins that are left and take them to the Great Hall." He just wanted the pumpkins out of his classroom.

Later before the next class would begin, Dumbledore came to the classroom after hearing what had happened. He found Snape sitting at his desk with his head in his hands. Snape lifted his head from his hands, and saw Dumbledore standing there with a smile on his face, and his eyes were twinkling too.

Snape asked Dumbledore, "Do you know who was responsible for this prank?"

Dumbledore then said, "Severus I and some of the other teachers were responsible for the prank."

Severus then sighed angrily and said, "You had no right to do this to me."

"It was a harmless prank Severus. No one was hurt."

Then Dumbledore took his wand out, with a flick of his wand the room was back as it should be. Dumbledore then left the classroom without saying anymore.
