The twins had been absolute monsters lately. For the past month, it was like they were on some kind of war path and anyone that happened to be in the way got pranked. They knew better than to prank you at this point (they'd learned their lesson the hard way), but everyone else was fair game. It was hell for the whole of the school. Ron in particular was completely miserable. He always seemed to be the first person the twins would go after when they started their month of pranks and general fuckery. Poor kid could barely take a shower without getting pranked. Unfortunately for you, that meant you had to listen to him rant.

"Why is it always me?" Ron grumbled, pacing the length of the common room. You'd been listening to the same thing for over an hour and, at some point, you'd just tuned out. Glancing around at Harry and Hermione, it looked like they had the same idea.

"I don't know, Ronald, maybe it's the rise he gets out of you," Hermione said.

"Like he didn't get a rise from you when he put that potion in your shampoo," Ron snapped. Hermione's had flew to her hair as she recalled the growth potion Fred had put in her shampoo earlier in the week.

"It took Madam Pomfrey nearly an hour to cut me out!" She cried.

"Harry, you couldn't have been happy about the exploding snitch at practice!" Ron said irritably. Harry blinked, startled.

"Don't remind me," He muttered.

"They're a menace," Ron said, looking defeated.

"No kidding," Harry said. It was true, they were, but your boyfriend was especially bad. Fred didn't really know when to stop. George might, and had in this case, pull back before things got too out of hand, but Fred almost never did (unless it came to you, of course).

"And you!" Ron yelled, rounding on you with new found energy. "You're Fred's girlfriend; why don't you do something?"

"Ha! You think he listens to me?" You laughed.

"He must! You're the only bloody person in the school he hasn't pranked!" He snapped.

"It's true," Hermione agreed. Rolling your eyes, you let your head loll back against the couch.

"That's because I don't get mad. I get even which is way worse," You said. Ron looked at you with pleading eyes.

"Come on, (Y/N), there's got to be something you can do," He whined.

"Yeah, the whole school's going mad," Harry chimed in.

The three of them looked about ready to get on their knees and beg you to do something about him. And, for a second, you thought they would. All of Hogwarts would probably look at you like that if they could. George had pulled back a bit ago, but Fred was just getting worse. It was like he was too hyper. Then it hit you. It was a surefire way to get Fred to calm down, even if it was temporary. At least the school could have a night of peace.

"I might have an idea," You said. Ron's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Really?" He asked.

"Whenever I'm trying to get something done and he's being annoying, I play with his hair," You said with a soft smile, "It's like an off switch. I mean, it would only help for a little bit, but it would give everybody a break."

"Brilliant!" Hermione said grinning.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Just as you were talking about him, Fred jumped through the portrait hole, sending the trio scattering. He turned a wild grin on you. Not good. That cheshire cat grin was never good. It usually meant he had a prank set up for someone. You just hoped it wasn't Ron this time. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. You were sure of it. Smiling and making grabby hands at him, you beckoned him over to your spot on the couch.
