Hello all you lovely people. This story was written a bit by me but mostly by the wonderful RUGoing2writethat. Hope you like it.
39. I will not ask Professor Flitwick to sing any Munchkin songs from 'The Wizard of Oz' nor will I try to bribe him to do so.
Fred and George were pleased over the prank that the two maraudettes pulled earlier. So they decided to have a bit of fun. After consulting with their two apprentices, they were able to track down and obtain a copy of the Wizard of Oz sheet music, specifically the munchkin songs. They took these copies with them to Choir Practice.
Now, they weren't actually members of the Hogwarts Choir, but Professor Flitwick was a jolly fellow and welcomed anyone who wanted to hang around during practice. So they placed the sheet music on Professor's sheet music stand, which was just his size. Professor Flitwick walked in and stood behind his sheet music stand. He tapped the floor with his wand and part of the floor rose up so everyone could see him. He looked at the sheet music.
"This is not the sheet music we are working on. Who placed this..." he started to ask, until he spotted the red headed twins, "Messers Weasley, is this your sheet music?"
"Yes Professor. We figured you would be perfect to sing those songs," they said in Unison.
"No, just no," said the Professor.
"Aw, please. We'll give you free jokes from our owl order business," they said in Unison.
"No," said the Professor.
"At least do Lollipop Guild for us," they asked in Unison.
The Professor sighed. He, like Dumbledore, did enjoy the Wizard of Oz. Perhaps it wouldn't be too bad to have a show this year where they sung a few of the songs. "Messers Weasley, I will make a deal with you, I will consider a musical this year with some of the songs from the Wizard of Oz, if and only if, you can get me more songs, and if you can refrain from any more pranks until the weekend. Do we have a deal?" asked the Professor. Seeing as how Choir Practice was on Tuesday nights, and Thursday nights, and this was Tuesday practice, they would have a whole 3 days free from the Weasley twins usual antics.
"Yes, we can do that. Does that include other people who pull pranks?" asked the twins, in Unison.
"No, so long as you don't participate directly in them," said the Professor. After all, he did enjoy the pranks, and the twins never actually hurt anyone, even if they did tend to get Minerva's blood pressure on the rise. Even she enjoyed their pranks, well, except for the sky clad prank and the argument with Ms. Granger. Yes, a 3 day 'vacation' would be ideal for all the professors and students.
"Thank you professor," said the twins in Unison. Honestly, their way of switch talking was less unnerving.
40. School Robes are appropriate school attire. Bathrobes are NOT appropriate school attire. Not even if you add the Hogwarts and House Emblems.
Fred and George woke up that next morning. They were not allowed to pull any pranks. That didn't mean the Maraudettes couldn't do so. So they pulled out their spare robes and transfigured them into bathrobes, with the school emblem and everything.
They folded them up and met Allison and Ginny in common room.
"Our dear Apprentices..." said Fred.
"We have an assignment..." said George.
"Due to circumstances well within..." said Fred.
"And beyond our control..." said George.
"We now ask that you fulfill another..." said Fred.
"Prank on our behalf," they finished together.
"What is it," said Ginny.
"Well dear sister..." said George.
"You need to wear these official..." said Fred.
"School bathrobes to class," they finished together.
"Ah," said Ginny looking at Allison
"Well we are apprentices," said Allison looking bemused. "Um just out of curiosity, what exactly are these circumstances?"
Fred and George turned on her.
"Well dear apprentices…" began Fred
"You remember our asking for munchkin songs?" continued George.
"Yeah, so?" replied Ginny
"The reason for the munchkins songs…"
"Was so Professor Flitwick could sing them."
"And we promised that if Professor Flitwick sang them…"
"We would do no pranks till the weekend."
Allison gasped and placed a hand on her heart.
"Stop the press," she called. "The Weasley twins are taking a break from pranking. The Apocalypse has begun. All we need now is for Snape to smile."
"Or wash his hair." Added Ginny
"This is serious." said Fred and George together.
"We can't be involved any pranks directly…"
"But we can have you do them."
"Well" said Allison as she and Ginny took the bathrobes from them, "you pick an excellent time to choose apprentices."
Now Allison and Ginny were modest girls. They still wore their shirts, sweaters and skirts with the bathrobes. In fact the only difference with uniform was instead of impressive, billowing school robes they wore short, fuzzy bathrobes.
As they went to breakfast many people shot them funny looks but no one commented on their strange attire.
I they sat down for transfiguration however, McGonagall realized something was wrong.
"Miss Weasley, Miss Kerr. Where are your school robes?"
Ginny and Allison looked at each other confused.
"These are our school robes," replied Ginny.
"No," Professor McGonagall firmly, "Those are bathrobes."
Yes." said Allison. "They are robes, and seeing as they have the school and house crest on them them are school robes."
Minnie just rolled her eyes she was not in the mood to deal with anymore Fred and George's antics today. Then she realized it wasn't Fred and George. It was Alison and Ginny. She shook her head. There was something funny going on, and she was going to get to the bottom of it.
That night in the common room, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Lavender and Seamus cornered the two girls and confronted them about their recent behaviour.
"Right," began Hermione in a very businesslike tone. "What's going on?"
"Whatever do you mean Hermione dearest? "asked Ginny innocently.
Hermione's face flushed scarlet.
"You know perfectly well what I mean…" she began, but Harry cut across her.
"We mean, why are you acting like Fred and George?"
Well speak of the devil. At that moment the very two redheads they had been discussing walked in. Upon seeing their two apprentices being held hostage by most of the fourth year they decided to intervene.
"Why are you bothering our apprentices?" They said in unison.
"Apprentices?!" Exclaimed the six fourth years together.
Harry wheeled around to face Allison.
"Did you agree to this?" he demanded of the girl he regarded as a sister.
"Why wouldn't I?" Allison replied. Harry shrugged as Hermione burst out,
"Because you could get in trouble!"
Ginny shrugged, "Trouble is my middle name."
"Really?"
"No, it's Molly."
Hermione threw her hands in the air.
"You two were clearly dropped your heads as a babies."
"I was not," replied Allison angrily, "I was clearly thrown up into the air, hit the ceiling-fan, bounced off the wall and fell out the window."
41. I will NOT dress as Darth Vader and declare myself the next Dark Lord.
Fred and George had to have some patience and self control to develop and pull off their pranks. After all, no one would fall for a prank if you were cracking up over it. Some pranks required a serious face. All things considered, 3 days without a single prank stretched their patience and self control to their limits. But, they made it. It was Saturday when they were allowed to pull their next prank. During that time, they had been plotting and planning.
They had to bribe Hermione with a promise to not involve or target her directly for the rest of the year. They also had to promise to give her all the antidotes and counter-spells as well as anti-charms to all their products. She agreed not to give them out to anyone, unless it was medically necessary. She also agreed to let them watch her entire Star Wars Video Collection, on a specially made Wizard-VHS Video Tape, wizard player and TV.
They spoke with Allison and she helped them configure a working Darth Vader costume, complete with voice and sound effects. Of course, it looked more like the costume for Darth Helmet from Spaceballs but that was beside the point.
*Darth Vader theme music magically follows Fred around.*
George is walking behind Fred in a Storm Trooper outfit.
As they approach the great hall, the music goes louder and George waves his wand and fog settles around Fred. They open the door with a flourish. Fred stalks in, in a very Vader-like manner, the fog rolling around his feet. The heavy breathing sounds and music following him.
"OI, what are you two Weasels up to now?" yells Malfoy from the Slytherin table.
"Really, how did he get in Slytherin?" thought most of the table for his lack of cunning, intelligence, decorum, manners, etc. etc.
"Malfoy, I am Darth Fred Vader, and you are speaking to the next Dark Lord!" said Fred in the Darth Vader voice, "You will show some respect!"
"Me, A Malfoy, show respect to a blood-traitor Weasel. Never!" said Malfoy, ignoring the groan of his table.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing..." said Fred Vader and he waved his wand, discreetly, and Malfoy's hair became bright Weasley Red, and freckles appeared on his face unbeknownst to him. Not to be left out, George waved his wand and added, "Ferret" with an arrow pointing down to him above his head; of course, every time Malfoy looked up it would vanish.
They went to Gryffindor table, and sat at the agreed upon distance from Hermione.
"Minion!" said Fred Vader.
"Yes, my lord," said George.
"Fetch me some breakfast Minion, for I am hungry," said Fred Vader.
42. Accio is NOT the force.
"My Lord, why do you not use the force?" asked George.
"You are right, My minion. A demonstration of the force is indeed in order," said Fred Vader, "Accio bacon, Accio toast, Accio jam, Accio butter, Accio sausage, Accio eggs." Fred pointed his wand at the various items and they flew to him.
"And that, my future loyal minions, was but a small demonstration of the power of the force," said Fred Vader, "Come to the dark side; we have cookies."
He and George handed out pamphlets titled "Come to the Dark Side; we have cookies...chocolate chip..."
"Messers Weasley, explain," said Flitwick.
McGonagall was at the head table, silently laughing. She thought this prank was awesome! Indeed most of the muggleborns who loved Star Wars thought this latest antic of the twins was awesome as well. Even Snape's lips twitched when he heard Fred's response to Malfoy about lack of faith. He did NOT smile! He did NOT enjoy their pranks secretly, casting silencing charms on his office while he sat in his chair, laughing out loud after each prank! He did not, he did not, he did not!
"Well, Dear Professor, My esteemed twin here is Darth Fred Vader, the next Sith Lord and Dark Lord," said George, "and we are now accepting applications for his future loyal minions."
Flitwick sighed. He looked to Minerva, who was hiding a smile who nodded.
"Very well, take off those helmets, and five points from Gryffindor, each, for disturbing breakfast," said Flitwick, "oh and cancel the fog charm."
When Flitwick got back to the table, Professor McGonagall said, quietly because she could not officially encourage the twins, "and ten points to Gryffindor, each, for the display of good magic."
A/N (from RUGoimg2writethat): I never understood, why they had a stack of books for Prof. Flitwick and not a tall stand for him to stand on or why, being the Charms Master, he didn't cause the floor to rise upwards. He could have even charmed a piece of wood to float and stood on it. This is magic we are talking about, and they are in a school of magic so I never understood why they didn't use magic.
Yay a new chapter. More chapters will be coming soon as I defeat my homework demon. Heres a bright idea what if you all come up with one rule and story around it, send it to me and I'll post it in the next chapter with your penname. Just if you write about Allison, she's my precious character.
Do you dare take the challenge?
PM and send me a DOC X of your bit if you do.
One thing I promise, the more people who send me their ideas the faster this story its next chapter.
Love you all, Peace
