POV - 3rd Person

"Huh? Where is he going?" Terry, who had a short beard, asked Anthony as soon as Ethan left.

"I don't know, maybe try to get the prank?" replied Anthony, who had no beard on his face from being in the Great Hall before the twins had put the spell on the door.

"Good luck" snorted Corner, who was a few seats away, "If even the 7th graders couldn't do anything, why would a 1st grader?" he finished contemptuously but ended up getting two heated looks from Terry and Anthony.

"Well maybe a 1st year like you couldn't, but it's worth reminding you that Ethan isn't just any 1st year" Anthony shot back, clearly sensing Corner's animosity towards Ethan. And he was delighted to see Corner's jaw tighten.

"So what? He obviously left because he couldn't take a joke and was too embarrassed," Corner snapped, clearly annoyed that Anthony had rubbed in his face that Ethan was better than him.

"Lie!" Anthony said, irritated that Corner is offending his friend.

"Lie? So where is he?" Corner asked smugly. And just when Anthony was about to say something Terry replied.

"Over there," he said pointing to the door. And Anthony and Corner, like some other students, looked in the direction he pointed, only to gawk at an unexpected sight.

POV - Ethan

I was at the door of the Great Hall, in a very different way. My beard was now grown to my waist, and it wasn't just my beard, I also had longer hair, falling to the middle of my back, and instead of the normal black color, my hair and mine beard were silvery with a few white strands, which gave me an old-fashioned look, along with a few additional wrinkles on my face. I was also no longer wearing my regular clothes or my Hogwarts robes, but a royal blue tunic with star embroidery that reached the floor, and to complete the ensemble, I was wearing half-moon glasses.

For those who still didn't realize what I looked like, I looked like a smaller copy of Britain's most powerful wizard and the current Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore!

As soon as I saw that everyone noticed my surroundings, I started walking calmly towards Ravenclaw's table with my hands behind my back. And I was really enjoying the shocked look on the faces of students and teachers.

I calmly reached the side of Anthony and Terry, who were staring at me openmouthed.

"Hello young people, could you guys give this old man a place to sit? My back isn't as young as it used to be" I told them in a calm, gentle voice in my best Dumbledore imitation, not forgetting to make my eyes sparkle, thanks to a simple beautifying spell.

After I said that, Anthony started looking at me like a fish out of water. Terry, who had been looking at me puzzled all this time, was the first to recover and he immediately started laughing.

"Pfft... Hahahahahaha" Terry started laughing holding his side, and Terry's laugh ended up snapping Anthony and the others out of their stupor.

"Hahahahahaha"

"Hahaha... Hahaha"

"Merlin, this is hilarious! Hahahah"

The whole hall then started laughing, even the Slytherins, and I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. And while everyone was laughing and pointing at me, I sat down next to Terry.

Looking at the staff table to see their reaction, I could see that they were all amused by my joke.

Professor McGonagall this time didn't even try to hide her amusement, her lips twitching in an attempt to stop herself from laughing. Even Professor Snape, who usually seems spiteful about everything, was maintaining a neutral appearance.

I then looked at the person sitting on the throne in the middle of the table, Headmaster Dumbledore, and I saw that he was looking at me clearly happy, and he nodded at me as soon as he saw me looking at him, which I replied with another nod.

Deciding to look at the two people I most wanted to see the reaction, I looked at the Gryffindor table, directly at two identical red heads.

The twins were currently holding each other and laughing uncontrollably as they looked at me. Seeing me looking at them, the twins held back their laughter, wiped the tears from their eyes, and looked at me with what I assume was respect. So I winked at them and smirked mischievously, to which they responded with their own mischievous smiles, before starting to whisper to each other.

After a few minutes of laughing, the students began to calm down. And I was happy to feel that emotions of joy and fun flooded the Great Hall. Obviously my joke didn't appeal to everyone and some people were upset, but I decided not to pay attention to them, but I obviously kept in my mind who these people were.

And not so surprisingly one of them was Corner, who was scowling at me, for some unknown reason, and Granger, who must have found my joke disrespectful.

'This girl has no sense of humor? Corner I understand, since he's a dick in the ass and a terrible loser, and so far he must be pissed that I'm better than him in class. But even Malfoy found it funny!' I thought with a roll of my eyes, 'This girl has got to stop her idolatry of authority figures and rules.'

"Phew... You never stop surprising me Ethan" Terry said to me, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

"I'm here to please" I said with a smile, before thinking hard about what I said, 'Shit, that phrase came out kind of wrong... I hope no one noticed.'

"And I hope you don't change," Terry continued, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Nah, I like myself just the way I am," I replied with a dismissive wave of my hand.

"I really didn't expect this, Ethan" Anthony started to say, after having calmed down a bit, "And I only have one thing to say... You're crazy" he finished smiling at me.

"Anthony! Is that a way to talk to elders?" Terry chided Anthony playfully.

"Don't worry, young people these days are like that" I played along, stroking my long beard. And Anthony rolled his eyes at both of us.

"Yes, yes. Now be a good old man and eat your food before lunch is over," Anthony said, placing a chicken leg on my plate. And as I was so hungry, I didn't think twice about starting to devour him. And with that Anthony and Terry went back to eating.

The students around also continued to eat normally, but I could feel some eyes on me at times, and some giggles and an occasional snort from the students.

And while I ate, Terry chose that moment to speak.

"So are you here to please?" and I could feel the smirk he had on his face.

'Damn it!'

End.

(End AN: Here's Saturday's chapter! Well... At least it's Saturday where I live, but anyway.

I wanted you guys to tell me good nicknames for the twins, similar to the Maradeurs, and it doesn't necessarily need to be based on animagus forms. Get creative!

Hope you like the chapter!)
