Once everyone was fed and watered they started talking for a while. Fred and George walked up to Percy trying to recruit him for pranks. Percy smiled goofily and helped them plan. 

Thalia walked up to Ginny and covertly tried to convince her to join the Hunters. 

Nico hung back until Percy dragged him into a conversation about pranking. 

Sally caught up with Sirius and Lupin, trying to drag every detail of their relationship into the open.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron talked amongst themselves. 

Molly and Arthur talked to each other about Harry's upcoming hearing. 

They stayed talking and playing for a few hours before Percy, Thalia, and Nico started their teasing. 

"Hey Kelp Head," Thalia called.

"What, Pinecone Face?" Percy replied. 

"I'm gonna kill you!" 

"Why?" 

"Nico just told me you were the one who pulled that prank on my cabin." 

"What prank?" Percy asked innocently. 

"The one where you painted my cabin pink and then changed all my clothes to pink. Oh, don't forget the fact that you covered me in toilet paper while I slept. And to think I killed the Stolls for your prank." 

"Oh, schist," Percy started to run.

"Get back here, Jackson." Thalia gave chase. 

"No. No. No," Nico chased after them, "Those two are going to kill each other." 

Sally laughed as Nico said, "Pinecone Face, Fish Breath get back here before you kill each other." 

"What?" Harry, Hermione, and Ron mouthed to each other. 

Harry pointed upstairs and they each got the message. 

Everyone also looked on in confusion. Even for wizards, it was not normal for people to threaten to kill each other.  Sally continued to chuckle a bit. Every time the three were in the same room together at least one death threat was made. The cousins would never purposely hurt each other and would feel bad if they actually did. She knew they would grieve a thousand times over If one died. If one died the two remaining would cause havoc only imaginable by one of the Big Three. Storms would ensue from Percy and maybe Thalia, and Nico may unintentionally raise the dead. The three are powerful but love each other like brother and sister. Never would they intentionally hurt the other. 

"Are you going to stop them?" Lupin asked. 

"They'll be fine," Sally brushed off, "They won't hurt each other. They love each other too much. Trust me." 

The wizards looked skeptical but no one went after them. 

Five minutes later the trio returned. 

"Did you really have to shock me that hard?" Percy complained rubbing his arm. 

"You deserved it," Thalia replied, "You're the one who soaked me." 

"It was self-defense, Lightning Girl." 

"Kelp Head." 

"Thunder Brains." 

"Seaweed Brain." 

"Can y'all stop?" 

"No!" Thalia and Percy exclaimed at the same time. 

"Ugh," Nico groaned, "you are both idiots."
