Pranking
Chapter 1: Minty Revenge
It was a cold winter morning at the Burrow. The trees were covered in snow and the wind made them sway and everyone outside shivered from the bone-freezing cold. The Weasley's, excluding Percy, were all home for Christmas. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are in their seventh year in Hogwarts with Ginny because they all decided to go to school after spending a year on the run. Some people from the Order are staying over for Christmas. At around 5 in the morning, our favorite twins wake up. These thoughts raced through their minds: Everyone's at home. It was Christmas vacation. They were stuck inside. Perfect pranking day.
"So what should we do today Gred?" Fred questioned his brother. They were sitting on Fred's bed discussing their plans for the day ahead.
"Well Forge, we have to get back at 'Mione and Ginny for their slip about Angie and Alicia," George replied.
"Of course! Remember the look on mum's face when she found out! We have to make her react to this one," Fred responded.
"Hmmn...I got it! How about we give them one of our new products? Mum will love it!" George replied ending with his famous "this-is-gonna-be-fun" pranking smile.
"Yes! They won't know what hit them,' Fred said smiling. They began to plan out their prank.
Fred and George are disillusioned and carefully stepped into Hermione and Ginny's bathroom. They switch the slightly used spearmint toothpaste with another that looks almost exactly the same. In quiet voices that no one except the other could hear, they said the words "mischief managed," quoting their idols.
The Weasley house was bursting, as it always does whenever the house is completely full. Breakfast was almost ready when the Golden trio and Ginny walked downstairs. Hermione and Ginny were unusually silent.
"Hey Harry wanna come with me today to Diagon Alley to get presents?" Ron asked Harry as they sat down for breakfast.
"Sure, how about you two?" Harry replied turning to face the girls. They shook their heads. Both girls looked pale and scared, like Ron when he spots a spider.
"What's with you two?" Harry and Ron questioned them.
"Nothing is %*#^ing wrong" Hermione replied and covered her mouth looking mortified.
"'Mione who knew you could swear!" Ron said grinning.
"She didn't %*#^ing mean to. Ah &%$^!" Ginny replied and copied Hermione's reaction. They both lowered their heads as Ron and Harry burst out laughing.
"This must be one of Fred and George's products!" Harry commented between laughs. Their laughter increased as Mrs. Weasley and Fleur walked in with the breakfast. Hermione and Ginny looked even more scared than before. Everyone else sat down for breakfast amused at the boys dying from laughter and the mortified girls.
"What eez wrong with them?" Fleur commented as she sat down. Ron and Harry were rolling on the floor laughing. The girls looked at each other and hid their faces. Mrs. Weasley had a worried look on her face.
"Ginny, Hermione is something wrong," Tonks asked trying her best to look serious. For her laughter is very contagious. Hermione finally conjured up a piece of parchment and a quill. She wrote: Nothing is wrong with Ginny and I. We just can't exactly talk right now. Please continue with breakfast. And please tell Ron and Harry to stop laughing.
Tonks read the parchment aloud and told Harry and Ron to stop laughing. They got up and reduced their laughter to chuckling.
"Would you two care explain why they can't talk," Sirius asked grinning. Everyone started breakfast. Hermione and Ginny shot death glares at Harry and Ron.
"We would but they would kill us. Let's just say if they talk, mum won't be happy," Ron answered. Hermione and Ginny looked dangerous before they sighed and started their pancakes silently.
"Why won't I be happy? Ron please tell me what is wrong with them," Mrs. Weasley ordered.
"Don't you %#$ing dare Ron!" Hermione yelled before covering her mouth shut, but the damage has been done. Everyone burst out laughing, with the exception of Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and Hermione.
"HERMIONE! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD SWEAR OF ALL PEOPLE!" Mrs. Weasley yelled. She was really loud, even over the people laughing.
"She can't %$#ing help it! Oh ^%$#!" Ginny said before covering her mouth. Her eyes were wide open and everyone laughter increased. Most were already rolling on the floor laughing like crazy.
"GINNY!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked. Fred and George entered the room. They were "sleeping in" according to their mum.
"What's going on?" The twins yelled.
"Yea right you two didn't know. You're probably getting back at 'Mione and Ginny for telling mum about your girlfriends!" Ron yelled over the noise.
"THIS IS YOUR DOING! YOU TWO ARE GOING TO STOP IT THIS INSTANT AND IF YOU TRY ONE MORE PRANK, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO KNOW ABOUT IT!" Mrs. Weasley yelled, turning her attention away from the ashamed girls to the twins.
"Fine, we'll go get the antidote," They replied and ran to their room to get the antidote. At this time, everyone calmed down as much as possible and tried to finish breakfast. Hermione and Ginny were completely red and silent finished breakfast.
"That was the best! I love it when they swear!" Ron whispered to Harry.
"I wonder what the product is. It could really come in handy," Sirius commented. Mrs. Weasley shot him a glare that shut him up. The twins came down and handed the antidote to the angry girls.
"We'll &%$^ing get you back for this!" Hermione said before shutting her mouth. More laughter rang about the room. They drank the antidote and were relieved to find out that they won't be swearing every time they speak.
Breakfast got finished and everyone was wondering what the twins used on the girls. Talking to them one-on-one so their mum won't find out, they told them that they switched the girls' spearmint toothpaste to swearmint toothpaste. Harry and Ron absolutely loved it and asked to buy some before it sells in their shop. And everyone else were astonished and also asked to buy some. Hermione and Ginny were angry but impressed at their product and play on words.
"You two are so dead!" Hermione and Ginny yelled.
"All we have to say is this young sister," Fred started. The twin pranksters looked at each other.
"It was minty revenge," Fred and George finished smiling.
