Here is the prank. I just want to say thanks to all of you reading this story. This is also the last update you will be getting for at least a month. I am going to Tennessee, and I won't have any WiFi. Hope you enjoy the prank.

Percy pov.

After lunch (and the first lesson), me and Leo, as well as The twins, the Stolls, and Nico met at one of the walls. Not just any of the ways, the one that held the window to Umbridge's office/where she slept. Earlier, I got Harry to tell me what her office was like, and once Nico got to the wall (more like shadow traveled to the wall and scared the Hades out of us) I told him

"Umm, very pink and fluffy, and lot of plates with cats painted on them" I summed up. Nico sighed

"Sorry Perce, there might not be any shadows to travel in" He joked. I smirked

Nico got up from against the wall he was leaning on and grabbed the Stolls. He shadow traveled away with them to the hallway just outside Umbridge's office. They were our watchmen. If Umbridge or Filch came, Connor would yell a very loud 'Travis, you idiot!' (our signal that Travis did not agree on) as a signal to get the Hades out of there. Once Nico and the Stolls were gone, I turned to Fred and George.

"Remember, only send up the package when I send the signal" I told George, no Fred, no George, no- you know what, one of them

"Right, what's the signal again?" One of the twins asked

"You'll know. Let's just say, things will get wet" I said. Leo snorted, and Nico appeared, once again, scaring the crap out of us.

"Let's go" He said, after taking a small nibble of ambrosia. Leo and I grabbed his hands. Before we left, I turned to the twins.

"Remember, when things get watery" I told them "And, oh yeah" I snapped my fingers and the air got cooler. Chiron taught me how to manipulate the mist before I was whisked away to Rome. "Nico made a some broomsticks appear, and we flew up through the window" I told them. I knew full well that the window was locked from the outside (we learned after Operation: window failed, and we lost almost two thirds of a pound of ambrosia after Leo fell from the window and broke is arm), but we couldn't have the twins knowing that we were demigods. Nico looked at me to make sure I was done, and I nodded. He tightened his grip on mine and Leo's hands, and I felt that sensation of freezing cold and wind going at a-lot-of-mile-an-hour hitting my body. Suddenly, we stumbled into Umbridge's office. Harry was right, there was a lot of pink fluffy stuff. It was pretty much all pink fluffy stuff. Nico kept us hidden in the shadow so we could make sure Umbridge wasn't there. She wasn't. I nodded at Nico, and he dispelled the shadows we were hiding in. I walked over to the window, and opened it. I swirled my hand, and a giant water ball appeared. I asked Leo once more if He remembered to put everything in the waterproof box, and he said yes. I flicked my wrist, and the ball went out the window and dropped to the ground. A huge splash noise and a loud yelp indicated that the twins got the signal. I waited a couple seconds and the box floated through the window I grabbed it, and words magically appeared

Gee, thanks Percy

P.s. You might want to watch your food for the next while

I snickered and showed Leo the box. He let out a very loud laugh, and I slapped him and told him to be quieter. I opened the box and smiled. I handed Nico the spray paint, I grabbed the skiving snackboxes, and then handed Leo the syringe filled with his tiny (and I mean tiny. These things were microscopic. They had to be for the plan to work) little microphones. We set to work.

Nico POV

Percy handed me the black spray paint (non-toxic, if you were wondering), and I set off for Umbridge's sleeping quarters. I covered every inch of pink in her closet and on her bed sheets. I painted her carpet, and cut off the shag with my sword. I spray painted a smiley face with x's for eyes on the wall, but I didn't touch the cat pictures. I couldn't harm any cat, not after meeting small bob. I went back into her office and turned every single pink feather quill black. I looked at one of them. The tip was different, way sharper. It's tip also glowed black. No I thought it couldn't be. I remember Hades telling me something about these certain pens that were only used in the fields of punishment. I pocketed the quill. I would inspect it later.

Percy POV

I grabbed the skiving snackboxes and went around the room. Umbridge had small plates everywhere, stacked with all types of candy. I emptied those plates, and filled them with the candy from the snackboxes, then misted the candy to look like the original candy. From the information Leo's spy-copters (tiny little almost invisible camera's floated around Umbridge's office) the plate's automatically refilled what ever candy was currently on the plate and the surveillance showed that Umbridge ate from these little plates very often. The best part was, that unless Umbridge ate the whole candy, she wouldn't get cured.

Leo POV

I grabbed the syringe filled with the micro-microphones and went to find Umbridge's lipstick. I held the syringe of microphones up o the light, and looked at them very closely to make sure that none were damaged. None were. I grabbed all the lipstick I could find and put a bit of the liquid filled with microphones into each stick. I shook them all up and then made sure that the remote that turned them on/off was worked. It did. I put all the makeup away the same way I found it, and brought the empty syringe back to box. Percy put the empty snackboxes back into the box, and Nic-

"Travis, you idiot!" I heard Connor yell from outside. My eyes widened, and I grabbed the box. Nico gave the spray paint to Percy, and put a hand on both of our shoulders. We shadow traveled away just as the door knob turned. We landed on the twins. We all stood up.

"Mission: accomplished"

Time skip to dinner

Percy POV

Me, Leo, the twins, the Stolls, and Nico all sat together for dinner. I looked up at the staff table. I smiled. Umbridge wasn't there. We all started eating without her.

About halfway through dinner, she stormed in, holding a black (once pink) handkerchief to her nose. I guess she had some nosebleed nougat before dinner. I looked more closely at her face, and noticed she was wearing a thick layer of lipstick. Excellent.

"there has been a breach of security to my room" she screeched "and an act of vandalism committed. Whoever did this, should be informed that-" I smiled at Leo and he flipped the switch on the remote to 'on'

"The cow says moo" she finished

The hall was silent before it burst out laughing.
