Harry was walking down the corridor to his Occlumency lesson when he heard two voices coming from the shadows.

"Pssst! Harry!"

He turned to find Fred and George Weasley standing in the corner.

"Come here."

"What I've gotta get going."

"We wanted to give you something before we left."

"What do you been 'left'?"

"We're going to break into Umbridge's office, get out brooms, and get out of here."

"Great! Good luck!"

"Here take this," they said pushing a piece of parchment into his hands. "It works just like the Marauder's Map. We'll miss you Harry." And with that they disappeared down the corridor towards Umbridge's office.

Harry looked down at the blank piece of parchment in his hands. They said it works like the Marauder's Map. He pulled his wand out and tapped the paper saying, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." As Harry stared at the paper words began forming on the page.

Fred & George Weasley's Guide to Pulling Pranks While At Hogwarts

As we graduate from Hogwarts, we wanted to leave behind something for future pranksters. So we compiled this list of hints and tips. We hope you enjoy it and leave it at Hogwarts for posterity. Now without further ado we present "Fred & George Weasley's Guide to Pulling Pranks While at Hogwarts."

  • Visit Zonko's Joke Shop often. If you befriend the owners they might give you free stuff or discounts.

  • Watch where you discuss your plans. The paintings could go and tell someone of your plans. There are also ghosts around too.

  • Argus Filch does know about three of the passages marked on the Marauder's Map. Use them at you own risk. They are the most obvious ones.

  • The house elves in the kitchen are extremely helpful. They'd do anything for you. Just make sure Hermione Granger doesn't find out. She loves house elves.

  • Find the Marauder's Map. We entrusted it to Harry Potter. If he's still at Hogwarts ask him about it. We're sure he'll let you borrow it. If he's not there, You'll come across it if you really want it.

  • Acquire an Invisibility Cloak. Unfortunately, we never had one of our own, but Harry Potter had one. They cost about two Galleons at Zonko's.

  • Trick wands are great gifts for cheering people up. Make sure you don't get one confused with a real wand, though.

  • Sending toilet seat is another great way to brighten someone's day. Just don't send one to anybody in the hospital wing, or Madam Pomfrey will freak out.

  • Sing the school song to a slow funeral march. It drives everybody crazy!

  • Canary Creams are best used when placed on a platter and served with other pastries. House parties are a great time to use these. We always wanted to slide one on Draco Malfoy's plate, but never had the opportunity. If you could do that for us we'd be in your debt forever!

  • NEVER try to cross one of Professor Dumbledore's age lines. You will sprout a lovely beard. We know from experience. Although it would be great to draw a line outside the Great Hall and place the age restriction at seven and see how many people grow beards! Try that and let us know how it goes.

  • The dungeons are a great place to set off dung bombs. The long wide corridors carry the scent. We warn you to watch out for Professor Snape whose classroom is in the dungeon.

  • Befriend Professor Dumbledore or whoever the headmaster is as soon as possible. You won't get punished that often.

  • Stay clear of Argus Filch and NEVER touch his cat Mrs. Norris! If Filch does catch you, when you get to his office be on the lookout. You never know what kind of neat stuff he's confiscated.

  • Professor Snape is another teacher to watch out for. Unless of course you're a Slytherin. Then you've probably already turned this in to him and he's threatening to expel one of out younger siblings at this very moment, sorry guys!

If you've found this guide then you're well on your way to successfully pulling pranks at Hogwarts. If you would like to contact us we can be reached at:

Have a great time at Hogwarts!

Harry was still reading Fred and George's Guide when he reached Professor Snape's classroom. Before he opened the door he tapped his wand on the parchment again this time saying, "Mischief managed." And then the words disappeared. He stuffed the guide in the back pocket on his pants and opened the door to Snape's room.
