Chapter 8 - Pranks and More Pranks

The twins and I ran into the bedroom giggling like little girls. George was the last oe to enter, quietly shutting the door behind him.

"Is that everything?" I asked, still laughing at what we had done.

"Yep." The boys answered in sync, grinning from ear to ear. We had set up multiple pranks around the order house, and now all we had to do was wait for them to be discovered.

"Ladies and gentleman." George announced to the air.

"Boys and girls." Fred continued.

"Welcome, to the ultimate prank night." They both menacingly laughed, dramatically waving their hands about. It was quite a sight to watch.

"No man is safe." Fred added after a few minutes.

"Everyone is a target of the three magicteers!" George said and the boys began frantically laughing again, this time I joined in.

We had come up with the name while setting up the pranks, it was George's idea and he was pretty proud of it. Out of the Weasleys, the twins were definitely my favourites. They were hilarious and had great pranking ideas.

"I think we should go to the kitchen, dinner is soon to begin. The prank night has started!" I grinned, before grabbing onto the twins who apparated into the room below us.

Molly Weasley jumped at the sight of us entering the dining area, we were grinning like lunatics. "I told you to stop that days ago!" She yelled, hitting Fred and George on the arm with her rolled up newspaper before walking off.

"We're very sorry mother." Fred began.

"May we help with dinner?" George asked, a hardly noticeable smile on his face.

"That's all we wanted to ask." I chirped in, reassuring Mrs. Weasley that nothing was going to happen.

Mrs. Weasley turned around, looking extremely suspicious. "I'm not letting you anywhere near the food. You can set the table, if you're that desperate."

We watched Mrs. Weasley leave the room, leaving the three of us alone.

"Perfect." The twins muttered, reaching into a draw to their left., we had stashed some teacups in the cupboard. I left the twins to put the teacups in position and headed to the kitchen where Molly Weasley stood over the stove.

"Where is the cutlery? You know, so we can set the table." I asked as innocently a possible. The lady turned and pointed to a cupboard near me. I reached in and grabbed the knives, forks and spoons, heading back for the dining room and placing them on the table. Then, I headed back to the kitchen and in multiple trips everything we needed was on the table.

Eventually, everything was in place. We had hidden the real teacups in the draw we had stashed the identical ones in, although we had left three real teacups out for the three magicteers. A few seconds later the sound of footsteps descending down the stairs sounded throughout the house and we ran to our seats. Now all we had to do was wait and watch.

"Here you are." Mrs. Weasley handed the teapot to Mr. Weasley who poured tea into his cup. The teapot was passed down the table until everyone had tea in their cups. Mrs. Weasley retreated to the kitchen to bring out the food. The people around us lifted their cups and clinked them together.

"Cheers!" Everyone smiled, pulling their cups away. I side glanced at the twin next to me and he raised his eyebrows as if to say, only a few more seconds. All at once, every witch and wizard raised their cup to their hand to drink from them. But were greeted with something much different.

Shrieks and yells erupted, teacups dropped as everyone but myself and the twins jumped in shock. The three of us just sat there, sipping our tea and watching the chaos. Mrs. Weasley burst through the door empty handed, she looked incredibly confused. After a minute or two, everyone had realised they had been pranked as Fred, George and I laughed at them.

We had replaced the normal teacups with nose-biting teacups. They were jinxed to bite the nose of anyone who tried to drink from them.

Some people found it funny, others, like Mrs. Weasley, didn't. She sent the three of us to our rooms, as we went we sang the same words over and over. "It's not over yet."

For the rest of the night everyone acted cautious, scared of stumbling upon our pranks. Although, not everyone was successful. Ron had unknowingly worn one of the twins' products, called a headless hat because, well, it's pretty obvious. It makes the wearer look headless. Ron then walked around the house, his mother and Hermione screamed at the sight of his headless body. We slipped a bit of polyjuice potion into any drink we found, turning whoever drank it into a duplicate Harry. An hour after. there were five Harrys running around the place. As well as that, we planted fake spiders around Ron's room, replaced all of Hermione's books with pictures of Snape, planted dungbombs around every room in the house, except the bedroom which everyone evacuated to until the smell had faded and we enchanted the toilets to regurgitate when used, flooding the bathrooms after useage. Some of them weren't found, but I'm not going to tell you what they were, maybe you'll find out at the same time a unfortunate witch or wizard does.

I woke up the next morning, the light sound of Ron snoring to my left. Everything was packed and everyone was ready to go to Hogwarts. I was going back for my second year even though I was a fith year. Ginny was going back for her forth, Harry, Ron and Hermione were going back for their fifth and Fred and George were going back for their last year. Maybe, just maybe, I'd get the chance to play even more pranks on people with them. They did promise to give me ideas to prank Pansy with.

This is going to be a great year. I could tell.

I just wish I could share it with Cedric. I hadn't visited him since the funeral, and I felt guilty about it, but I couldn't bring myself to go. Graveyards give me the creeps, and I felt bad for him being buried in one. But I was angry too, I wanted revenge. I wanted to kill Voldemort.
