The Incredible Prank

Disclaimer: Please don't hurt me! These characters don't belong to me, except for Carissa and Skyler of course! Anyway, I don't own the characters, the wonderful and talented JK Rowling does (bless her) and so do her publishers, apparently. I'm not making any money off of this, so I say "Shoo, nasty lawyers, and next time, you mop up your own goo. This is the last time I let any slimy invertebrates in here." (Please don't tell my cousin and his wife I made any cracks about lawyers, they're great attorneys, and personally, I don't want them to have to go and find one after they kill me.)

(Harry yawned. He yawned again. Ron yawned. Ginny yawned. Ron yawned again. Hermione yawned. She yawned again. Ginny yawned again. Harry yawned.)

Ginny - Do you get the feeling that we are very bored?

Hermione - Somehow I do.

(Fred and George then enter the room, and then they are all suddenly yawn free, for neither twin is wearing pants.)

Harry - You forget something?

George - No, why?

Ron - Cause you're not wearing any pants.

Fred - Oh, that. We just lost them in a poker match. We were luckier though.

George - Yeah, we were playing strip poker and the other twins got worse.

Ginny - Other twins?

Hermione - Oh, no, you don't mean...?

(Just then, two blurs race through the common room, screaming.)

Hermione - You just had to play poker with Parvati and Padma, didn't you? You couldn't have chosen Ginny, and me could you?

Fred - Course not. You two'd win.

Hermione - (She stands up and prepares to leave.) Well, I'd better go calm down Parvati and Padma before they decide on revenge. You coming, Ginny?

Ginny - Sure why not.

Harry + Ron - Can we come?

Hermione + Ginny - No, absolutely not!

(As the girls leave, the boys fake looking crestfallen, but are soon perked up by George, who tells them they had gotten a couple pictures but not to tell anyone, or else they'd have the Patils after them so fast, they would get eyestrain trying to spot them before they hit.)

(Hermione knocks on the dormitory door, in case the sisters weren't decent.)

Parvati - Come in!

(Hermione and Ginny enter, and both sigh.)

Ginny - So, beaten again, huh? Don't you ever learn?

Padma - Course not.

Hermione - All right. (She plops down on Lavender's vacant bed.) Why aren't you in your dormitory, Padma, cursing the Weasleys by yourself?

Padma - Those damned boys bewitched the door to Ravenclaw Row, and I couldn't get in. I swear, more than half of Hogwarts must have seen my arse.

Parvati - And more have seen mine, because you made me stand in front of you when you tried opening the door. At least I got twenty bucks out of it.

Ginny - You what?

Parvati - Some seventh year thought I was a paid stripper and stuffed two tens between my -

Ginny - Ewwwww!

Parvati - Fingers.

Ginny - Oh.

Hermione - Planning revenge?

Parvati - Yes, as a matter of fact we are. Why? Curious?

Hermione - More than you think. They slipped something in my drink a few weeks ago that managed to turn my lips green, but it was done wrong, and I turned up with reptile skin for days. I'm thinking of revenge these days too, and I was wondering if you'd let me assist.

Ginny - Ooh, let me help too! Those miserable morons plagued me all summer, and on the Express they had the nerve to tell Neville I fancied him, when I really like Colin. And last week, they managed to turn my hair a violent shade of blue.

Parvati - Well... okay. We could always use a couple more heads.

Padma - You think if we ask McGonagall for permission, we could do something more, well, big? She knows those two need a taste of their own medicine, and if we can get Skyler to help, we'll be set!

Ginny - I think it's a good deal, and since the guys are sweet in Skyler, they won't notice anything if she's hanging around them a lot, and she hangs around them a lot anyway.

Parvati - So it's a deal then. Padma, you head down to Ravenclaw Row and see if you can get in. Ask Skyler if she'll help, and Hermione will go and ask McGonagall, since she's her favorite.

Hermione + Ginny + Padma - Check.

* * *

Padma - Um, hey, Skyler?

Skyler - Yeah, what?

Padma - Would you help me, Parvati, Hermione and Ginny get back at Fred and George for their pranks on us?

Skyler - Oh, sure. They got me, (me!) last week, and they are so going down!

Padma - Awesome. As soon as we get clearance from McGonagall, we'll get to work. Let's head up to Gryffindor Tower to check on the verdict.

Skyler - Kay, mind if Carissa comes too? She's a criminal mastermind.

Padma - The more the merrier.

Skyler - Great.

Hermione - Professor?

Minerva - What is it Miss. Granger?

Hermione - Well, you know how Fred and George Weasley have been extra prank-ish lately? And you know how we're all kind of getting a bit sick of their tricks? Well, a few of my friends and I, Parvati and Padma Patil, Ginny Weasley, Skyler Black, and Carissa Duncan mainly, were wondering if we could get your permission to get them back, you know as a taste of their own medicine?

Minerva - Miss Granger, you know I tolerate no antics that would endanger a student's well-being, but in their case, I'll make an exception. Confidentially, I've been planning a pretty good prank myself to pull on them, but I can't seem to work out a few details. If you would let me in on your conspiracy, I'd give you immunity from any punishment you might get along the way, and passes from class whenever you need them.

Hermione - It's a deal, Professor!

* * *

Hermione - Hear ye, hear ye! I call this meeting of the "Get Fred and George Weasley Back Club" to order. (She smiles smugly at all the people gathered around her. There was Parvati, Padma, and Ginny of course, but also Professor McGonagall, Skyler Black, Carissa Duncan, Blaise Zabini, Colin and Dennis Creevy, Moaning Myrtle, Nearly Headless Nick, and even Peeves, who was, for once silent. (Peeves was mainly there because the twins had been outpranking him, and he wanted payback.)) Any new business?

Skyler - I have some! Carissa and I have devised a way to keep the slime hovering over the twins so they can't see it, but we'll need help from Myrtle, Nick and Peeves. They'll have to invisibly hold the slime overhead and follow them until the point where they get the signal, which will be the banshee's scream performed by Ginny. Can you three handle that?

Nick - No problem.

Myrtle - I can do it.

Peeves - They'll remember this one forever. I'll help all I can.

Skyler - Great.

Hermione - Do we have anything else? No? Good, let's set up the prank!

* * *

Fred - Wow, dinner was good.

George - Yeah.

Hermione - (Running in the front doors.) Help me! (Runs back out.)

Fred - Come on, let's see what's up.

George - Right.

(They run out after Hermione, and the doors shut locked behind them . They look around, and all they see is a dark night with a full moon in the sky. They can barely make out the shape of Hermione running down to the lake. They follow her and when they reach her at the lake, she turns around and slowly turns into a wolf . They turn around immediately and start to run away, but they are confronted by a banshee , she screams loudly, and a large gob of slime lands on their heads . They look up and see a huge Dementor spewing more slime from the area of the mouth and they run screaming, when the wolf, the banshee , the Dementor , a vampire and a giant. They crouch down and start whimpering, still covered in the slime . Suddenly, they all disappear, along with the slime . They look around nervously, and then run up to the castle. They run in and up to Gryffindor common room where they find Padma, Parvati, Ginny, Skyler, Carissa, Blaise, Colin, Dennis, Myrtle, Nick, Peeves, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Professor Dumbledore, all of which are back to their normal looks.)

Fred - Oh, my, God, we were just out there, and Hermione was a wolf, and there was a banshee, and a vampire --

George - and a giant and a Dementor and a... a... a... What's wrong with you all? Didn't you hear what we just said?

Hermione and company - Gotcha!

(Fred and George faint and they all laugh.)
