Title: Fooling around
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
“That’s a Muggle pregnancy test?” Ginny asked.
“Yes.”
“And it is positive.” Ron.
“Yes, but it’s fake. I took a pen and made the second stripe.”
“But why?”
They looked at Malfoy’s unconscious form.
“Because I wanted to fool him. It’s 1st of April!”
“I still don’t get it. So, Malfoy saw that… thingy and then he fainted?”
“Yes.”
Ron snorted. “But why would Malfoy think he has something to do with you being pregnant?” Silence. “Hermione?”
“Well…”
Ron paled remarkably, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted, too.
Ginny laughed. “Two in one day. George will be proud.”

Title: Who Laughs Last
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
She thought it was funny, did she? Laughed about it, did she? Har-har-har, what a riot! Tee-hee-hee, she went as she held her belly and pointed and laughed. Ho-ho-ho she chuckled like a bloody bad impression of Father Christmas.
Replacing my shampoo with black hair-dye? Unforgivable.
Practical joke, was it? Well, I didn’t find that joke very practical.
But this joke…this is practical. This is funny.
“Bloody effing hell! Damn it, Draco! Don’t you know flushing the toilet makes the water cold? You bastard!”
Not so funny now, hmm? Oh, but it is.
Who laughs last, laughs best, sweetheart.

Title: A Joke On You
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Ron stared, the food on his fork falling onto the table unnoticed.
"Shut your gob, Weasley, you look quite unattractive; no wonder Brown left you."
Ron closed his mouth silently, but his fork still hovered.
"You're joking right?" Harry asked, looking just as stunned as Ron.
Hermione and Draco shared a look.
"Actually-"
"Ha! I knew it." Ron pointed at them with his fork, sending small bits of food across the table. "Good joke, you guys. April Fools, haha."
"If you'd have left me finish, Ronald; actually, we're not joking," Hermione said. "We are together."
"And it's the fourteenth, anyway."

Title: Knicker Twisters
Rating: PG
Warnings: Boys are stupid.
Thursday
Rivalries forgotten, the boys crouched in Greenhouse One as the twins tested their newest creation: Knicker Twisters. Even the Inquisitorial Squad. Some things united all men.
“Vane...” Fred whispered.
“Excellent.”
George tossed a blue marble into the air. It became a small tornado, whirling past Romilda’s skirt. Red thong.
“Wicked!”
Thus far, they had seen green satin, white cotton and Wednesday.
“Granger...”
“Absolutely.”
But Hermione countered the spell without a backward glance. The boys groaned.
“She’s scary,” Ron said.
Draco hid his wand, smiling. Much as he wanted to see Granger’s knickers, he’d be damned if anyone else would.

Title: Medusa's Revenge
Rating: K+
Warnings: None
"Wow, Blaise really will do anything for Ginny," Hermione thought as she watched Draco’s sleeping potion induced sleep. Focusing herself, she started her mission, almost regretting that she was marring his alabaster skin.
Amidst snickers, Draco blearily entered the loo. After splashing water on his face, he noticed a picture of Hermione brandishing a thick marker. "What the?" He looked in the mirror and discovered a handlebar moustache, glasses, and lightning bolt scar drawn on his face and - Merlin! His hair was ginger!
"GRANGER!"
A message appeared on the picture: That's what you get for transfiguring my hair into snakes.

Title: Practicals
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: fornicating images, stupid humour, "practicals" are hands-on lab work
“Alright, which one of you did it?” Hermione was glaring around the Great Hall, brandishing her copy of Hogwarts: a History.
Her fellow students snickered, trying not to laugh at the fornicating House animals on the front cover, but none came forward.
Finally noting Draco’s smug look, she demanded, “Change it back!”
“Eventually. In the meantime, that snake’s very well hung; you could learn something by watching, or you could come to me for practicals.” His eyebrow twitched suggestively.
They all laughed when he clutched his crotch after her stinging hex.
“Too bad you’ll be indisposed,” she said, flouncing off.

Title: Welcome Home
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Harry and Ginny sat giggling on the couch when the floo sounded. They looked to see Draco and Hermione emerge, looking jet-lagged, or floo-lagged as it were. They hurried to look innocent.
“Need bed!” Draco grumbled.
“Yeah, you get any sleep on your honeymoon?” Ginny snarked, laughing at the tired couple.
“Very funny Gin,” Hermione hugged her best friend. “Thanks for watching the place.”
The Potters disapperated and the Malfoys walked into the bedroom and their eyes widened.
“Potter!!!” Draco growled. Looking up, they groaned to find the room, exactly as it normally sat, flipped, and stuck to the ceiling.

Title: Best joke ever
Rating: K+
Warnings: Unhappy parents-in-law
“Granger, my parents are visiting tonight. Please remember we were both forced, and let’s try our best. Would you wear your indigo-fitted-robes?”
Hermione’s stomach churned at her reflection; nothing ever escaped Lucius’ notice, damn marriage-law.
She sat quietly attempting to go unheeded, but soon Lucius pointed at her protruding-belly, “Is that a tasteless practical-joke?”
She smiled lovingly patting the gentle swell, “Correction, this is practically your Malfoy-heir.”
Narcissa fainted and Lucius drank straight from the bottle.
Draco sat by Hermione and lovingly caressed her bump, “Thanks for the best-joke ever, maybe there is hope for us.” She accepted his kiss.

Title: Putting two and two together
Rating: G
Warnings: None
“Mister Malfoy!” Professor Snape’s resonant voice filled the classroom. “Why is that object perching upon your head? Are you contemplating a career in Muggle sport?” He advanced on his hapless student.
“N-no, sir.”
“Then perhaps you intend to become what I believe Muggles term a ‘rapper’?
Malfoy blushed. “No, sir.”
Too fast for the naked eye, Snape reached out and whipped off the offending baseball cap.
The class gasped.
Malfoy’s normally long, silky, platinum hair was now short, spiky, and very, very red.
Snape stared thoughtfully at his young protégé. Then, “Five hundred points from Gryffindor, Miss Granger,” he drawled.

Title: Regret
Rating: K
Warnings: None
Never imagine that this moment would come, I can hardly contain my pain. I never consider the consequence of that stupid joke until today.
I can feel your presence long before that I see you pass, the smell of your skin, it evokes memories of us.
You look radiant, so beautiful that I can not contain my tears, thinking could have been me, today by your side at the altar and it kills me to know that this is the last time I can look at you before that you become something unreachable, before that you become Mrs. Hermione Weasley.

Title: Shell Shocked
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
He thought it would be funny to see her shocked face. Though dumping water on someone was unoriginal, he thought the payoff would be still worth a shot.
The results shocked him.
Yes, Granger’s hair looked ridiculous. Yes, her angry face was simply hilarious. However, he hadn’t counted on her shirt being transparent.
He had meant to make himself scarce once he’d seen her face, but the sight before him left him immobile. She glared over at him, and readied her wand. “Levicorpus.”
Yes, that hadn’t gone the way he’d planned, but Draco couldn’t argue with unexpected results like that.

Title: A Selfless Sacrifice
Rating: M15
Warnings: A little bit of slang. Also, I refuse to kill a Weasley twin.
“There once was a blondish prick,
Who defied all that’s good by shagging a Gryffindor chick,
If he tries to lay her once more,
In sunshine, rain or snow,
He will be the proud owner of a bright blue di-“
Hermione pulled the note from her lover’s hand in surprise. “This was sent to you?”
Draco nodded. “Along with a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes product that I didn’t know existed.”
“You don’t think the twins actually drugged your food, do you?”
“I don’t know,” Draco said, his expression one of grave seriousness. “But I’m willing to have sex to find out.”

Title: The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree
Rating: PG
Warnings: None!
Draco stared at the tiny version of himself and sighed. “You know better than that, Scorpius.”
The young boy hung his head. “I know… It’s just…I wanted to get her attention.”
“So you played a practical joke on Rose Weasley, because you…. like her?”
“I didn’t mean to make her cry, Dad! You have to believe me!”
Staring at his son, Draco couldn’t help but think of a similar bushy-haired brunette and the years he’d spent trying to her attention….even if his methods weren’t always the nicest.
Draco laughed and nodded knowingly. “I do, son. I believe you.”

Title: She Did Warn Him
Warnings: None.
Ratings: K.
“Hello, love,” said Draco, straight-faced, as Hermione sat down to the dinner he had prepared.
Her eyebrow rose. “This dinner is for our anniversary, not April Fools’, right?”
“Of course,” he said, sounding injured.
“We’ve talked about how immature pranks are.”
“Terribly juvenile.”
“Good.”
Absent-mindedly sipping from his glass, Draco watched as she began to cut her steak. The next second, his dinner burst into fireworks, singeing his eyebrows as he fell off his chair with a yell.
Hermione’s smile was positively Slytherin as he choked on his Firewhisky.
“Switching Charm, love,” was all she said. “I did warn you.”

Title: Fun With Toothpaste
Rating: G
Warnings: None
April 1st. That dreaded ‘April Fool’s Day’. The day that Draco always had a trick up his sleeve and got her, Hermione always wished he never learned about the blasted day. This year Hermione had a trick up her sleeve. Knowing she would have to be sneaky, she decided to use something Draco used on a daily basis. Taking out the tube of toothpaste, she emptied all the contents, and added mayonnaise into it instead.
Hermione waited for Draco to wake up for the day. Hearing him walk into the bathroom, she snuck outside the bathroom’s door…Quietly waiting….
‘HERMIONE”!
