Hogwarts:

Fred had carefully mixed the ink that Kitsune had sent instructions for before setting up the classroom that they would need to brew the potion in. Kitsune had come through on the potion ingredients as well. Harry, with the help of Crookshanks was keeping an eye on Scabbers. This would be the only way to free Padfoot and get Harry away from his damnable mundane relatives. George was getting everything ready as well, though he couldn't start brewing until after Fred had the wards set and they'd been that way for forty-eight hours.

Still, there was some prep work he could get out of the way. Harry and Crookshanks share a look with each other, as long as Padfoot didn't come into the castle Scabbers would stay put. Harry had sent a letter to him with Loki and explained what Kitsune had in mind. Padfoot had agreed that she had the better plan and knew better than to go against a Kitsune plan. Harry had Dobby take food to Padfoot and swore Dobby to secrecy about any pranks or anything to do with the Marauders, after filling Dobby in. Dobby understood and was working on getting Padfoot back to a decent weight.

This also included a potions regime as he would need to be at his best to face the Wizengamot. Though he would be getting recompense for what he had to go through due to the fact that he had never received a trial. Hermione was helping Neville with his Charms essay while Percy actually helped Ginny with her Transfiguration essay. Ron was still reading his new book though once Hermione realized how much he loved strategy and chess she had found the perfect way to get him to study and do his essays properly.

Of course, being Hermione, no one else had quite figured out how she did it, not even Harry, though Luna Lovegood, a second year Ravenclaw had a good idea about what she had done. Fred and George were also studying hard for their O.W.L's, George needed to get an O on his potions exam so he could continue on. Damn Snape and his policies. No one even suspected that the twins were buckling down as hard as they were, well, Harry knew, but he was their silent pranking partner. Snape may have suspected his involvement, but he couldn't prove it as Harry only gave them ideas and made sure that they were well away from the pranking sites, and that they had solid alibies at times.

Harry had never helped with the execution of a prank, only the planning phases. Harry and Fred had been putting up wards to keep unregistered animagi in the tower, this way Scabbers couldn't escape when the time came to round him up. In the Shrieking Shack Padfoot is currently eating the food that had a nutrition potion laced through it. The House-Elf Dobby was certainly taking good care of him. He knew Kitsune's plan was best on how to nail Wormtail. Prongslet had sent him a coded letter and Kitsune was little Selly.

He had laughed himself hoarse when he realized that both of Prongs' progeny had taken up pranking though Prongslet was in the planning and Kitsune was in the planning and execution. He had been stunned to learn that there was in fact a Coyote at long last. The fact that no one even suspected the identity of Coyote was telling. A true Coyote was someone whose identity was only known to Kitsune. He still had his pranking connections, even though he was now more of a consultant than actual prankster. Once a prankster, always a prankster.

Karakura Town:

Selena reads the letter that had been forwarded to her through Raven written by Strife. Strife was the prankster at Smeltings and was asking why Dudley wore gloves to open his mail. Selena immediately sets to writing a reply to this letter. Strife would be immensely useful in her pranking campaign against the Dursleys. Generally Kitsune was never in direct contact with any prankster save for the ones at the major schools. Of course, this letter would have to be sent priority mail. That or use a House Elf, as Strife apparently had a magical cousin and was in the know.

Priority mail would be better and she could rent a Post Office Box for those correspondences, " Hey, Ichigo. "

Ichigo looks at her, " What now? "

" Strife got in contact with me through Raven. Strife is at Smeltings, Dudley's school. He's a mundane with a magical cousin. "

" Ah, you want a P.O. Box, huh? " Ichigo states.

" Yep, plus, you're good idiot deterrent. " Selena admits.

" You mean that I'm territorial when it comes to you like Tatsuki is for Orihime, right? "

" You are to a lesser extent with Tatsuki as well. Tatsuki has Orihime's protection well in hand, plus, Orihime is damn powerful in her own right, magically and spiritually. " Selena points out as they head off. Selena wanted her letter to get there as quickly as possible.

After going through the different options Selena had the letter sent priority and made sure to keep the tracking number. She had also rented a box as well and slipped the key onto the magical lanyard she continually wore that had her house keys on them, Kurosaki, Inoue, and Arisawa. She had clothes at all three places, her possessions were spread out between Ichigo's place and Orihime's. While they were out they went to stock up on potions ingredients and other magical bits and bobs. Orihime had let Selena know what potions their cabinet was running low on and had given her a list of ingredients.

Selena arranged for those to be delivered to Orihime and she looked into getting a new bronze cauldron. Ichigo restocked his potions kit while Selena did the same, while looking over the selection of bronze cauldrons. Ichigo was happy she had gotten her mastery in potions and that she would most likely apprentice one half of the Terror Twins. She wanted them out of England and he couldn't blame her either. Dark times were ahead, there were indications that Tom Marvolo Riddle Junior was not as dead as was believed. If the rumors coming out of Hogwarts could be confirmed that is.
