New Perspective ⌁ Fred Weasley

Chapter Twelve

Maxine meant what she said when she told Fred and George Weasley that she would get revenge. Every spare moment that she wasn't practicing Quidditch or studying for their O.W.L's she spent preparing the greatest prank to get back at them. Unfortunatley nearly every idea she came up with had already been done by the Weasley's themselves.

A week after the incident in corridor when Maxine peed her pants, which was brought up nearly everywhere she went, Maxine sat cross-legged on her bed with a sheet of parchment in front of her.

On the parchment was a list of all the pranks she had come up with. However more than half were crossed out because they had already been done.

Just as she was about to cross out another one with her quill, Maxine jumped a foot in the hair when Heidi nearly kicked the dormitory door down. She was out of breath, hands on her knees while Maxine placed her hand on her chest.

"Merlin, woman! What are you on?" Maxine joked out. Heidi put a finger up to silence her as she walked to Maxine's bed, flopping down dramatically.

"You know how you are having difficulty figuring out a way to end those Wealsey's?" Heidi rolled over to face Maxine, her blonde hair falling over her face and a smirk on her lips.

With a raised eyebrow, Maxine nodded.

"Well..." Heidi sat up quickly as her hyperactive self came over her. "I was just talking to Alicia Spinnet, and after paying her a bit I was able to get some information on how we can get back at those prats."

"Wait, Alicia Spinnet? One of the Gryffindor chasers? A friend of Fred and George Weasley?"

"Yes."

"I dunno, Heidi." Maxine pushed herself from her bed and walked over to her bureau where she pulled out a pair of black pajama pants and a blue shirt. "Are you sure she didn't just give you information on how we can prank ourselves?"

"Don't worry, Max, I've assured Alicia that if she gave us faulty information I would not only pull the eight galleons I gave her out of her pockets myself, she would be just as embarressed as you were after the event outside the library last week."

"Eight galleons? Is what she said really worth that muuch?"

"Max," Heidi jumped up from the bed and placed her hands on Maxine's shoulders. "Do you want to give the Weasley's payback after they made you piss yourself in front everyone or what?"

"Also for the way they talked to me after that Quidditch match."

A wide smile spread across Heidi's face, showing off her dimples. "Then trust me, it's worth it."

After informing Tamsin of their diabolical plan and getting some input from her, Maxine declared it was game over for Fred and George Weasley.

Maxine was very excited. She wasn't generally a rule breaker as she always wanted to be on her teacher's good side. But their was something undeniably compelling about the risk of getting in touble for pranking the Weasley's.

The next day after short trip to Hogsmeade to get evertying they needed from Zonkos, Maxine, Headi, and Tamsin sat in the nearly empty corridor outside the library putting their last minute plans together.

"So when they walk by, or at least one of them," Heidi rubbed her hands together dramatically and gestured towards the wall way. "One of us are going to wind this think up --" she held up a wind up monkeu that had symbols in its hands -- "to distract them."

"Because as it turns out," Tamsin took the monkey and examined it. "Mr. Freddie Weasley has a slight fear of monkies."

"Are you joking?" Maxine laughed and when Heidi shoom her head she began to laugh harder.

"That's what I asked Alicia and and she swore on her broomstick that it's true."

The three of them laughed for a few moments before Heidi dramatically wiped a non-existant tear from her eye and cleared her throat. "Anyway, they will be coming from. Hogsmeade around the same time as everyone else so the humilation wil be at the maximum. Once they are distracted by desprately trying to turn the monky off, we will use our wands and try and attatch this stink pellets to the back of their shirts."

Tamsin lifted up two stink pellets that she bought fron Zonko's. All we have to is make the surface of them sticky and we will fly them through the air using the levetation spell. Once they are stuck on, the slightest movement will cause them to go off and it will seem as though they farted."

Maxine couldn't deny that the idea was genius and she was thrilled by the fact that she would be able to get her revenge on the twins.

The girls waited for nearly an our at their seat in the windown in the corridor outside the library. It was nearly time for dinner and Maxine suddenly became worried that the twins wouldn't be stepping foot in that hallway. The corridor was filled with students getting back from Hogsmeade but the tall read heads were nowhere to be seen.

Maxine sighed and looked at Heidi with a disappointed look. "Heidi, I don't think they are coming this way."

Instead of agreeing, Heidi put her hand in Maxine's face. "Max, shut up, there they are."

She looked up to see Fred and George round the corner of the corridor, laughing about something that must have happened at Hogsmeade. They got closer and closer as Tamsin began to wind up the monkey.

After they walked past, it all seemed to occur so quickly. The monkey was placed on the floor where it sped quickly infront of where Fred and George were walking. Fred gave a tiny squeal as George looked completely confused.

The monkey stopped moving and began to rapidy bang the symbols together, not stopping for a second. Passer-byers stopped and stared in confusion as the monkey got louder and louder. When Fred and George bent over to try and get the monkey to stop, Maxine and Heidi used their wands to lift the stink pellets in the air.

Nearly invisible, the pellets zommed through the hallways, weaving in through the rest of the students before they came in contact with Fred's t-shirt and the back pocket of George's jeans.

Tamsin used a spell to make the monkey stop, causing Fred and George to look at each other in confusion. And when they both stood up, the stink pellets went off.

Quickly, the air around Fred and George filled with the smell of a skunk and the students around them began gagging and pointing in their direction. Maxin and her friends exploded with laughter as the twins faces became the same color as their hair.

At the sound of their laughter, Fred whipped around and looked at Maxine, who was hunched over in pain as she laughed so hard her rips pinched.

"Beater girl!" He shouted, bringing Maxine to look at him with tears of laughter streaming down her face. "You may think this is the end. But it's not!"
