Stratego Game: Prompt Used – Adventure
Harry is trying to find Fred and George. He needs help with something, and he knows they're the ones to go to. They always have the good ideas.
He takes out the Marauder's map and his wand. Tapping it, he says, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." When the map reveals itself, Harry quickly looks for the two dots named 'Fred' and 'George.' He knows they'll most likely be close together. He sees they're near the Room of Requirement and furrows his eyebrows, wondering what they're doing there. He shrugs and quickly says, "Mischief Managed," and then leaves to go talk to them.
He finds them easy enough and his eyes widen, not able to believe what he's seeing. They're hanging upside down from the high ceiling, and Harry doesn't see how it's happening.
"Hi, Harry," they chorus simultaneously.
"What are you doing?"
"Testing out –"
"–a new product," George finishes.
"We're calling it Pogo Suspenders," Fred explains.
Harry blinks at the name. "Why Pogo?"
George grins wickedly and leaps from the ceiling. Harry closes his eyes and flinches as he waits for the expected crash. When no crash sound is forthcoming, he carefully opens his eyes and watches with wide eyes as Fred and George jump from the ceiling, only for a thin rope to pull them back so their feet stick to the surface again.
"Wow, that's great guys, but you can get into so much trouble."
"Trouble is our middle name," Fred exclaims.
George agrees, "Yep. It sure was fun to test these out."
"Want to try?" Fred asks.
Harry knows he shouldn't, but he can't help himself. "Suit me up."
Fred reaches over to George and unsnaps something from his shoes. It allows George to walk along the ceiling and then down the wall, not getting hurt at all.
When Harry goes to the ceiling, he feels a bit dizzy with the blood rushing to his head, but the twins were right. It definitely is an exciting adventure, and what the professors don't know won't get them into trouble.
