Prankwar

The twins thought their biggest rival was Peeves. 

A poltergeist, which only feared one thing. And that was not them, which is unforgivable. 

At least in their eyes.

So they tried methods to prank him, but what they didn't know, was a third party, 

which are the greatest pranksters since the Marauders. 

The time they prepared was also longer, so it wouldn't be a wouldn't be a surprise that the twins one morning go to the Great Hall with an afro hairstyle.

The mastermind didn't want them to know there was a third party, so they tarned their attack as a defective product of the twins that got up to early. No retribution would find a head, you wouldn't know existed.

The twins were encouraged by the laughs of others and spend more time preparing pranks.

Their schoolwork came to short because of that, so at the next meeting their brother Charlie brought them to the studygroup, where upperclassmen helped them with tricks.

Nymph and I as secret pranksters gave them some ideas that they should try, while secretly planning countermeasures and attacks of our own.

Yes you are right.

The greatest pranksters since the Marauders is the pair of siblings with the last name Tonks.

Surprised? You shouldn't be.

Nymph started her days with the legendary "Call of Minerva" as her owls entry was named. 

In the last couple of years she secretly pranked people, but mostly bullies as she didn't like those. 

I liked my pranks even more secretly. My very first lesson couldn't be teached, but nobody not even McGonnagal could find me guilty as she enjoyed the moment and catnip.

Pranking somebody without them knowing they were pranked and everybody including the victim to laugh is the highest form of art in pranking. So with our efforts combined, we get the greatest pranksters of modern age.

So in the following weeks a prankwar was brought upon Hogwarts.

The twins, Tonks and Peeves who wouldn't be left behind pranked anything they could with different methods. Prank products were the favourite means of the Weasleys. Sis and I prefered good thinking and secret handling and Peeves just used head-on mediums like his pies.

The hardest targets were the favourite ones and who was a harder target than Snape?

Maybe Dumbledore, but he wasn't as unpopular as the Potions professor. 

We caused a lot of headaches for the staff, but pranks on Ms. Pince or Pomfrey wasn't accepted.

Even the twins were smart enough to not harm the people who gives them access to the means of pranks or heals them up after a failed product hit them.

That war ended at Halloween after a peace treaty was reached and Snape sat with pink robes at the headtable.

The second half of the term was used for more learning as there was quite a lot of homework and tests before the winterbreak.

After they calmed down, Charlie took them along to my morning routine and as I now had permission to bring my kneazles out, the twins fell in love directly. Mani and Asteria also were surprised to look at a pair of twins, but since they weren't bad people, they let the twins pet them.

A ride on Anluan was also requested, but he didn't want to, so no for now.

As I brought out some toys for the four to play with, I heard for the first time the twins mention to make something aside from prank products. Cat toys. Maybe their shop would have another category of items in the future, so I also would become a regular customer.

They also mentioned Hogsmaede, so I guess they already have the map.

That is one of the two things I need this year, for my plan to work.

The second couldn't be called a thing, as it is a person on the map. 

I could find the person in question without the map, but needed it as prove and a reason as to why I know where he was.

I guess a nightly visit to the first and third-year dorm would be on my To-Do-List now.

So one night under the 'Disillusionment Charm', I practiced the entire time since starting school to visit the forest, I first went to the first-years.

Can't find a treasure without a key, now can you.

The twins didn't think someone else knew the phrase to open the map, so they didn't hide the parchment. 

I took it silently and went to Percy's dorm.

A certain rat was sleeping on a pillow beside his bed.

I had a cage in my 'Inventory' and put him inside. Before he could wake up, I was already out and on my way to the Headmasters office. I started the operation at the later half of the night to arrive here before the first sunshine.

Now it's time to put a rat in a hole. And get a dog out in return.
