My second Quidditch player is Angelina Johnson, Chaser. Please read and review :)


"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Fred and George looked up exasperatedly. "That's the sixth time you asked us the same thing, Angelina," said George. The twins looked half amused and half annoyed as Angelina made her way to their table in the Gryffindor common room.

"But it seems too dangerous. And inappropriately timed. It's in a bad location. You could get detention. You could be expelled. Did I mention it's too dangerous?" Angelina protested.

Fred gave her a stern look. "This prank is happening tomorrow, Angie. We're not changing or minds."

"There's just no reasoning with these two," Angelina thought. She sat down at their table and looked them in the eye. "I can't just let you two do something stupid, particularly not after I heard – "

"Eavesdropped," coughed Fred.

Angelina glared at him and continued, "After I heard you two mention Diggory's name in your whispered conversation. I've known you two long enough to tell that any whispered conversation between you two means that something's up. It's only been about a week since Diggory died. Don't you think it's a little disrespectful to be playing pranks, especially if it involves a bit of a sensitive topic?"

"You don't even know what we're doing," George pointed out.

"Yeah and since when did it become a crime to laugh a bit?" Fred added.

Angelina shook her head. "I'm not trying to tell you that laughter's wrong. I'm just saying Dumbledore might not find it very amusing if it's inappropriate."

"Would you stop saying that word?" Fred replied. "You make us sound cruel or terrible or something.

You sound like McGonagall," George grinned.

"Everything's not a joke, you two," Angelina tried to reason with them. "Diggory was a nice guy and not everyone's going to want to forget their grief and laugh and have fun so soon after he's passed. It may hurt the Hufflepuffs' feelings,"

"Trust me, it won't," said Fred.

"It may hurt the Slytherins. Your pranks often do," she tried.

"And you care?"

"It might hurt the Ravenclaws," Fred considered. "That brainy bunch will be miffed that they didn't think of it."

"But what if you get detention?"

"We'd have to get caught first," George chuckled with a wink.

"What if it goes wrong?"

They both looked offended. "I highly doubt that," Fred sniffed.

"Look Angelina, it's the last day of term. We want to put everyone in a fairly cheerful spirits before they go home," George explained.

"Is that the only reason you're doing this?"

The twins put on unconvincing innocent faces. "Pretty much," they said in unison.

"What if you give the visiting schools the wrong impression about Hogwarts? What if they end up feeling that we don't respect funerals or our fellow students?" Angelina said. She was running out of reasons to use to convince them that a prank and this time wasn't the best idea. "Even you wouldn't do anything to hurt Hogwarts' reputation."

"That's right and we're not. Everyone should be rather impressed by what we have planned," answered Fred. He looked at her seriously. "Angelina, you can stop trying to talk us out of this. We've had enough experience countering every reason Mum gives us about why jokes are a bad idea for a career. This conversation isn't all that different."

"Yeah, if you really want to dissuade us, you'll have to yell at us, confiscate all our things and keep eyes, ears and all your senses on us," George quipped. "And you'd have to be our mother."

"I could threaten to tell your mother," Angelina suggested.

The twins merely laughed at that. They knew Angelina would never do that.

She tried one last question. "What if Cedric's memory takes insult and comes back to haunt you?"

They stared at her. "Seriously, Angie?" Fred asked incredulously while George burst into laughter.

"I'm grasping at straws here, okay?" Angelina snapped. She sighed. "Look, is it really the best idea for me to let you two play a prank concerning Cedric Diggory, who has passed away very, very recently and whom you've never really liked?"

"Come on, Angelina, the poor bloke's gone. We wouldn't do anything to insult his memory. Trust us, he'd be happy if he could see what we have planned for tomorrow and it won't hurt any feelings. Just have some faith in us."

Angelina threw up her hands. "I give up. This prank's going to happen tomorrow no matter what I say, isn't it?"

"Yes," they said together, smiling at her.

Angelina sighed, got up and turned to leave. She stopped just before the girls' staircase. "Are you completely sure-"

"There's no point asking us to change our minds again, Angie. You won't get seventh time lucky."

Angelina shook her head in defeat. There really was no point trying to reason with the Weasley twins.


So what did you think? Do review and let me know :) Constructive criticism is always welcome of course.

The mysterious prank will be revealed in the next chapter!
