A/N: So, I couldn't wait... And I immediately started writing this chappie! Who's your favorite author? Not me? Awwww... I guess I'll have to change your minds... ;) So please review and tell me what you think!
1. I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons, nor will I insist that their House colors indicate that they are "covered in bees".
The twins entered the library, looking quite peculiar without any study materials of any sort. Anyways, they sauntered into the library and sat down next to a particularly tall classmate of theirs. And it seemed that Cedric Diggory was a tad bit surprised at being encompassed on either flank by a Weasley twin. It was a bit like a Diggory sandwich of sorts... But back to the proceedings.
*poke*
"What, Fred?" Cedric Diggory asked, curious as to why the Gryffindor had poked him, that too with a spoon... while in the library. Upon receiving no response, he shrugged and went back to his work.
...
*poke*
"Yes, George?" Cedric turned toward the other twin, slightly miffed at getting interrupted again.
"Does it hurt?" George asked curiously, his eyes as innocent as a does.
Cedric's annoyance dissipated into confusion and his eyebrows knitted together. Throughout the library, a collection of sighs emitted from the girls who were "secretly" watching the Hufflepuff. When the twins glanced around in surprise, the girls quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be deeply absorbed in their reading materials. Yeah. As if.
Cedric finally gave up and responded, "Does what hurt?"
"The bees," came the nonchalant response.
"Bees?" Now Cedric was extremely confused. The last time he had dealt with the little yellow-black insects was last year when they had to learn how to protect plants from the annoying little bugs in Herbology. Cedric involuntarily shuddered. He had been covered in angry welts for an entire week...
"Yeah, mate. You're uniform's covered with them," Fred pointed out matter-of-factly.
Cedric glanced down in surprise, noticed his uniform's colors, and looked back up to glare at both twins. Which in itself was quite a feat considering that he managed to swivel his head between the two without looking clumsy or goofy. "Very funny."
The twins glanced at each other and spoke in unison, "We know!"
Cedric sighed and glanced about the room to make sure nobody had heard their little quip. Satisfied that nobody but the three of them knew anything, he returned to his essay. Blasted swelling solution...
...
*poke*
"What now?"
...
Cedric once again turned back to his essay. At this rate, he'd take years to complete it.
...
*poke*
"WHAT?" By this point, Cedric was getting a teeny bit aggravated. It was amazing how little it took to get the Hufflepuff angry. And we thought they were relatively complacent... Madam Pince glared in their direction, warning them to quiet down.
...
*poke*
...
*poke*
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Now, Cedric was turning a lovely shade of purple, starting to resemble a fig. A very angry, slightly dangerous-looking fig...
"Mister Diggory! Silence in the library, PLEASE!" Madam Pince was also becoming a bit fig-like. Hmmm... it's like we're in Greece...
...
*poke*
"I swear to god, if either of you poke me one more time, I'll hex you into the next cen-"
*poke*
"AUGH!" Cedric had had it. He slammed his books closed and stormed out of the room, his cloak billowing about him, looking a wee bit like Snape (don't tell Snape though; he might just run off in tears). The twins looked at each other, laughter barely contained. Fred nonchalantly remarked aloud to the room, "Maybe he just couldn't take being a bumblebee anymore..."
Students all around the library snickered a bit, trying very hard to contain and muffle any noise as Madam Pince threw her hands up in defeat, "I give up!"
Fred and George grinned at each other, nodded, and promptly got up, bowing extravagantly to the room. They sauntered out of the library, heads held high with the pride of their first successful prank... from the list that is.
"THEY SAID WHAT ABOUT ME?" Cedric was practically steaming at the ears. He promptly stood up and stormed out of the Hufflepuff common room, heading in the direction of the Gryffindor tower. "FRED! GEORGE! YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!".
From behind a suit or armor, a set of muffled chuckles could barely be discerned. Fred and George grinned at each other and agreed that this year was going to be VERY interesting...
