it was 1996 at Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall was sitting at the head table, eating her lunch when an owl flew in, holding an envelope. A bright. Red. Envelope.
Everybody froze. They all knew exactly what it was.
She looked at it, swallowed, and opened it, only to hear:
HI MINNIE!
what are you doing? We would like to make some complaints. We-Professor McGonagall could already tell who it was. Only four people in her time had the nerve to call her that.
A new voice was heard.
We think you should give us an award, and are shocked that you haven't already. You see-
She could make out the sound of someone being jumped on.
we make Hogwarts entertaining, can you possible imagine what it would be like with out us? We can imagine you trying to picture it.
She gasped, she couldn't believe it. The great hall had gone considerably quieter, each trying to listen, harry, of course, knew exactly who it was and couldn't stop laughing, warning confused looks around the hall.
Then, they heard a door open.
What the hell are you all doing?
Some of us are trying to sleep. Idiots! Shouted a female voice.Harry at this point was cackling.
Well good evening to you too Evans. Fancy joining us?
A yelp was heard, most likely Remus being shoved onto the floor.
What are you doing?
Sending a howler to Minnie of course!
You do realised you will get so many detentions for this, don't you?
Ah. Didn't think of that. Right, how do you turn off this thing?
Lots or rustling and bangs, the howler whilst it was recording was obviously being snatched by lily.
Nope, this is mine now and I'm keeping it to show professor McGonagall.
NO! Shouted Remus, Sirius and James.
Harry had fallen on the floor, gasping for air.
A load crash.
Evaaaans, give us the howler, or I'll tell Minnie how that prank on her wasn't actually us and was you.
"It was you?!" Shouted professor McGonagall.
I- I don't know what you are talking about
How did you even know about that? Fine it was me yes bit it wasn't meant for her, it was meant for Snape. He was being horrible to Mary, Marlene and Dorcas again.
Snape had gone pale at the mention of his name.
And Evans, you do realise this is still recording don't you? Laughed Remus.
If we're getting detention, so are you! QUICK GUYS, GRAB YOUR BROOMSTICKS!
Was shouted.
TO THE OWLERY!
NOOOOO ILL GET YOU FOR THIS POTTER, BLACK AND LUPIN! As for you, Pettigrew,
Was distant heard.
Everyone was looking at McGonagall, who was holding in a laugh, and Harry, who had just collapsed in laughter.
"Who where they?" Asked a Ravenclaw.
"My *giggle*Mum- and *cackle* my dad *wheeze* and my uncles," he managed.
