The Prankster in Love

Harry Potter

Just then Ron screamed, and we all stopped to see Nearly Headless Nick poking his head up through the chicken drumsticks. We all greeted him, Percy asking him how his summer was.

"Dismal, my request to join the headless hunt has been denied." He replied and he started to float away when Ron said. "I know you, you're Nearly headless Nick."

"Nearly headless? How can you be nearly headless?" Questioned Hermione. She's not going to like this.

"Like this." Ron screamed again and Hermione looked utterly disgusted as Nick showed them his botched beheading and then just floated off with the other ghosts.

Later in the common room Lee and George were off terrifying the new Gryffindor students with Lees spider and Holly was with Hermione at one of the tables talking about classes and professors.

Fred and I were squeezed onto one of the big armchairs while Maddi was sitting on one of the cosy benches in beside the fire.

"Are you lot going to do a prank tonight?" She asked.

"Don't be silly...course we are." Said Fred.

"You wanting to join us?" I asked.

"May as well since Holly is a bit preoccupied, and I don't want to end up sitting in silence with Katie."

"I thought you two got along?" I asked.

"We don't really have anything in common when you or Holly aren't there."

"I don't think she likes me very much." Not like it's my fault who my family is. "Take it she's off with her cousin as usual?"

"No, she's over there with Angelina. She had said last year that she wanted to join the quidditch team and had asked Angelina to give her tips and they became friends from it." Explained Maddi.

"Katie? Play quidditch?" I questioned.

"Isn't she really quiet and shy?" Asked Fred.

"That could just be around us." I joked.

"So, what's the plan for tonight?" Asked Maddi.

We explained the plan to Maddi and for once she seemed excited to join in, to be fair she hates Filch.

Lee and George throw themselves down onto the sofa just as it becomes free. "Looks like Potter is hiding away in his dorm."

"You two had enough of terrorising the first years?" I asked.

"Yea it got a bit boring actually, they all wanted to hold it after a while. Can't seem to find that Neville kid, he looks like he would scare easy." Explained a disappointed Lee.

"Think he's sharing a dorm with Ronnie." Said Fred.

"Ron's terrified of spiders." George informed Lee.

"We turned one of his teddy bears into a massive spider when he was little."

"Cry's or runs screaming every time he sees one."

"So why aren't we up there scaring him now?" Asked Lee. Just like that all five of us bolted up to the boy's dorms and in true Fred and George fashion, they just barged on in. "Ohh Ronniekins." Fred called out.

"We have a not so little surprise for you." Teased George.

"Why can't you knock? These two don't know what privacy is and you've brought all your mates in too." Complained a very red in the face, embarrassed Ronald. "Liss can you not control them please?"

"Are you joking? Have you met your brothers?"

"Oi you can't talk, you may as well be their triplet." Scoffed Lee.

"Are girls allowed in here?" Questioned Seamus.

"Yea boys just can't go up to the girl's dorms." Explained George.

"Did Percykins not explain all this to you?" Asked Fred looking at George in fake shock.

"Ohh dear looks like we're going to have to tell McGonagall he's not doing his duties right." Sniggered George.

"Oh, leave him alone." Said Ron. "What's this surprise you've got for me then?"

"Right all of you boys sit over here on this bed." Said Lee guiding the five boys over to the bed Harry was already sitting on. "Close your eyes"

"This is gonna be good." Maddi whispered to me.

"Ron might actually wee himself." I whispered back.

"Okay one!" Called out Lee.

"Two!" The rest of us joined in as Lee let his spider move three of its legs outside of the box.

"Three!" The boys opened their eyes and immediately Ron and Neville were climbing over each other screaming trying to get off the other side of the bed, which of course sent the rest of us into huge fits of laughter.

"What is it?" Asked Dean.

"Can I hold it?" Asked Seamus.

Lee rolled his eyes. "Gryffindor's really are bloody brave, how did those two make it in?"
