Summary: A journal of the pranks Fred and George pulled that J.K. didn't tell us about.
September 4th, 1989.
It was only Fred and George's fourth day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and they had already annoyed the caretaker Argus Filch half to death (by setting off a load of dungbombs outside their door), received a weeks worth of detention from the Potions Professor, Severus Snape, and found an accomplice by the name of Lee Jordan.
They both had decided now that they could use magic they should use it in the best way possible, the pranking business. They had spent most of their lives making their family laugh. They intended on moving on to a much larger scale.
They had been developing ideas for ideal magical pranks for years, and now they were eager to put their plans into action. They had already developed the basics of potions that would eventually evolve into things like Canary Creams, Ton Tongue Toffee, and Skiving Snackboxes.
It was on this day however that Lee Jordan had managed to get them some wart cap powder. Fred and George immediately started to think of ways in which they might be able to use this lovely wart causing substance. Without too much hard thought their annoying older brother Percy came to mind.
Percy had always given them plenty of reasons to prank him, and otherwise infuriate him, but since they had started school he had been far more pompous than usual. He also seemed to think that he could boss them around. Well the mighty third year git had another thing coming.
For these reasons Fred and George had chosen Percy to be on the receiving end of whatever it was they chose to do with this precious substance. Fred stretched a little bit and grinned at George who was inspecting the powder.
"We need to be able to pull this off without him suspecting us." George said.
"Yeah mum will kill us, I am not even sure if this stuff is legal." Fred walked over and looked at the powder.
The two of them plotted on how they could best pull this off without Percy having any hard evidence that they had done it. They finally decided on making their move while Percy slept. It would be easy enough to get into his room at night. Not only that but a few guys in Percy's year would be quite up to pulling a prank on him in the middle of the night, so they would pretty much be in the clear.
Fred and George made the final preparations. They mixed water with a small amount of the powder to see if it would still work. It made an odd sort of paste, but the effects were still quite the same. They added water to a bit more, enough for the night's events; they then enchanted the paste with a light sticking charm. It would take a few days for Percy to remove the spell. George slipped the container with the leftovers into his pocket.
They waited until about midnight before slipping into their older brother's room. Everyone was asleep, though Fred and George didn't suspect that anyone other than Percy would have a problem with them being in there.
They kept the snickers to a minimum and set to work. They each pulled a quill from their pockets, and Fred pulled out the container with the paste. Fred drew a little moustache and beard on Percy, while George wrote the words Arrogant Git on Percy's forehead. They applied the paste liberally to Percy's big nose and stood back to admire their work.
George then pulled the container with the dry wart cap powder and they poured this over Percy's hands. They then slipped from the room and went back to their room. They gave Lee the thumbs up and grinned as they got into their beds. It was just lucky for them that Percy wasn't a very light sleeper.
