After dinner that night, all the kids went off to their own rooms to rest after the tough quidditch game, and all the kids from the future collapsed on the floor before they even made it to their camp beds that were set up in the living room. They laid on the floor quietly, the only noise being that of the clock on the wall ticking, and the sound of Mrs. Weasley cleaning up in the kitchen. After about fifteen minutes, Fred and James got up and left the room.

"They're going to prank us," Al mumbled.

"No duh, Al," Rose replied. "James and Fred can't go a week without pranking someone. I'm just waiting for the day when I wake up to find out that my hair is purple or something."

"I say we prank them before they prank us," Al said.

"How would we do that?" Lily asked.

"I know how they are going to prank us," The three other kids' faces lit up as they turned their attention to Al.

"Oh, do tell," Hugo said, rubbing his hands together.

"Well," Al began. "Here's what I say we do.

Al lightly tapped on his Uncle Bill's bedroom door, but knocked harder when he heard music playing. He knocked again and again each time, the knocks grew louder. Finally, Bill opened the door.

"May I help you?" Bill asked. Behind Bill, Al could see Gryffindor paraphernalia covering all the walls. The music that played through a radio in the corner was music Al could recognize from all the times his aunts and uncles tried to convince him it was the best music out there. Al disagreed.

"Um," Al paused, "Yeah. Rosie, Lils, Hugo, and I are going to prank Fred, James, 'Fred', and George." Bill raised his eyebrows. "We want to know if you want to help."

"Why would I want to prank my brothers and nephews?"

"Don't tell me that 'Fred' and George have never pranked you." Al told his uncle. Bill's eyes drifted to the hole in his wall that was covered with a curtain so that he could not see into Charlie's room. He cringed as he remembered 'Fred' and George's prank gone wrong that put the hole there.

"All right," Bill agreed, his eyes locking with his nephew's. "I'll help you." Al smiled.

"Good," Al stated. "Now, can you help me convince Charlie to help us?" Bill nodded and then walked over to the hole in the wall. He moved the curtain aside.

"Hey, Charlie." Charlie's head popped up from a book he was reading, most likely about dragons. Al could see several dragon posters on his wall from over Bill's shoulder.

"What?" Charlie asked.

"We have a proposition for you." Bill gestured to himself and Al. "How would you like to get back at 'Fred' and George for all their pranks over the years." Charlie smiled.

"I'm in." Charlie agreed.

"Ginny" Lily tapped on her mother's door and the red head opened the door. Ginny just stared at Lily, unsure of what to say. She looked the other girl up and down before cocking her head to the side. "We're going to prank Fred, James, George, and 'Fred'," Lily said at last. Ginny just continued to stare. "Would you like to help?" Ginny bit her lower lip.

"'Fred' is really nice to me though," Ginny said quietly.

"Well," Lily began to think out loud. "Think of it as revenge for all the pranks your nephew and son will pull in the future with Uncle George's help." Ginny looked at Lily curiously. "James and Fred blew up my birthday cake you made for me last year!" Ginny gasped slightly in horror.

"I'll help you," Ginny said. "Blowing up a birthday cake is an unforgivable deed." Lily nodded in agreement.

"Dad," Hugo called. "Dad!" He called a little louder. "DAD!" Ron Weasley still did not open his bedroom door. "RON!" The red headed boy opened his bedroom door to see his future son standing impatiently outside.

"You didn't need to yell my name so loudly." Ron said, bluntly. Hugo rolled his eyes.

"Anyway." Hugo said. "We're pranking Fred, James, George, and 'Fred.' Wanna help?" Ron needed no persuasion what so ever.

"Yes!" Ron yelled. Hugo smiled.

"Good."

Rose furrowed her eyes brows as she stared at her uncle. He just stared back at her. Rose stomped her foot.

"Ugh," she groaned. "You are as insufferable as Lucy!"

"Well," he said, deciding not to ask about whoever Lucy is, "Why do you think I would help you prank my brothers and nephews?"

"Revenge," Rose replied simply.

"They've never truly done anything to make me angry with them." Percy stated simply. "I mean, they are annoying, but that's about it. They manly pick on Ron." Rose sighed.

"They will prank you more as they get older."

"I'm not going to help you prank them!" Rose let out a huff.

"I understand why you hate it when people say you were an insufferable git when you were younger. You are an insufferable git."

"We've been trying to change his ways for years," said Charlie, who was walking down the hallway with Albus and Bill. Percy stood speechless as he heard his niece and brother call him a git.

"Why do you need me to help in this prank anyway?" Al shrugged.

"We don't." He replied. "If we need help with magic, Bill is of age. We already know what we are going to do. I'm the grandson of a famous prankster, the nephew of the owners of the greatest joke shop ever, and the brother of James. We don't NEED help with the prank. We just thought it would be nice to include everyone."

"Well then," Percy said. "I'm not going to help." And with that, he shut his bedroom door.

"Eh," Al shrugged. "I knew it was a losing battle anyway."

"Then why did you make me have an argument with him for however long that went on for?" Rose asked, incredulously.

"You always need to let off steam." Al replied. "I figured your parents wouldn't be too happy if you killed off Hugo in some random year." Rose hit her cousin. "Ow," Al exclaimed, rubbing his arm were Rose's fist had just made contact. "What was that for?"

"I was letting off steam, as you put it," Rose said with a grin. Bill and Charlie just snickered behind the other two's backs.

The next morning, Lily and Ginny tapped on the door to the twins' room. James opened the door and eyed his sister more than his mum.

"What do you want?" He asked. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Mini-mummy and I just wanted to spend some quality time with our brothers." Lily replied, quickly.

"Al and Bill are probably talking someplace. Go spend time with them." James began to shut the door, but Lily stuck her foot in the way, preventing him from doing so. "What?" James whined.

"We want to spend time with you, and Uncle George and Uncle Fred and well, Fred." Lily sniped.

"Jamiekins." Lily and Ginny saw James growl at the nickname that Fred had given his cousin. "How hard is it to tell your sister and mum to go away?"

"We aren't leaving," Ginny piped up. "Not until you agree to play with us."

"Why do you want us to play with you?" George asked.

"Because," Ginny drawled out the word looking for an excuse. "We want to practice flying and we figured you four might want to go flying."

"Going flying doesn't sound half bad," 'Fred,' spoke up from his spot where he sat next to a pile of feathers.

"Besides," George continued for his twin. "They aren't going to leave until we agree."

"Trust us," 'Fred' said. "Ginny is a very stubborn little girl."

"Probably because she has six older brothers," George finished. Ginny stuck her tongue out at her brothers.

"Okay then," James said. "Looks like we will be joining you. Give us just a few minutes." The door shut and the sound of hushed voices discussing how to hide all their items for their prank were barely heard through the door. A couple minutes later, the door opened, and the floor looked completely clean from any prank item that may have been there before.

"Well," Fred motioned down the hallway toward where the staircase was. "Shall we?"

Al Potter stuck his head around the corner as he watched his cousin, brother, and uncles walk down the hall with his mum and sister. He would have to applaud them later for their tact in getting the four out of the room. He felt his uncle Charlie stick his head around the corner behind him. Once the six people were out of sight, Albus felt it safe to proceed with the plan.

"Let's go," He whispered as he motioned for Bill and Charlie to follow him. The carefully made their way to the room and pushed the door open. The floor was clear. Bill and Charlie automatically began searching the room, whereas Al glanced around, mumbling to himself.

"How would James hide his prank items?" He mumbled to himself. He was pulled out of his thoughts by Bill, who was holding up a random piece of parchment.

"Charlie!" Bill called. Charlie groaned as he hit his head on the bottom side of one of the twins beds. He slowly crawled out from under the bed, rubbing his head.

"Yes, Bill." Charlie said.

"What do you think the twins are doing with a spare piece of parchment?"

"Using it for prank ideas?" Charlie guessed. Al's eyes grew wide as he recognized the parchment.

"That isn't the twins." Al stated. "That's James'"

"What is James doing time traveling with a random piece of parchment?" Bill asked.

"That doesn't matter what now." Al said, brushing aside the conversation. "What does matter is what this means for our search." Bill and Charlie looked at him with great curiosity. "We can't find the items, because we can't see the items because they are invisible." Bill and Charlie exchanged a look of confusion, but turned their attention back to Al.

"Rose," Hugo started as they stared out the window in Bill's room, because it had the best view of the quidditch pitch where the four pranksters and two little girls were. "I was kind of surprised when you agreed to help us prank them. You've never been one for pranks." Rose shrugged.

"I am a Weasley," She stated as if it explained it all. Sadly, it did. However, Hugo wasn't quite satisfied with the answer.

"But you are also the daughter of Hermione Granger." Hugo contradicted.

"You're the son of Hermione Granger." Rose retorted. Hugo shrugged.

"But you've never helped us prank others before."Rose's eyes dropped and she carefully looked back at Ron, who was completely oblivious to the others' conversation as he attempted to play Chess by himself.

"You don't often get to spend time with your family when they are your age, if you know what I mean." Rose said softly, "Especially not with your dead uncle." Hugo's eyes dropped as well. He hadn't thought of it that way. He didn't want any more of an explanation. If Rose pranking her uncle was her way of getting to know him, he was going to allow her to think of it that way. They sat silent for a while, the only sound was that of the chess pieces moving across the board.

"'Fred'!" George called to his twin from across the pitch and jerked his head in the direction of the ground. The two dived toward the ground, landing softly.

"You want to go in so we can finish our prank." 'Fred' stated.

"And you want to stay out here and spend time with Ginny and our niece and nephews." George stated with a slight frown. Fred shrugged.

"George, do you remember the summer after Bill's first year at Hogwarts?" George didn't nod, but 'Fred' knew that George remembered. "He was too busy to spend time with us." George's eyes drifted toward the ground. "Well, I have this feeling that I should spend time with my nieces and nephews while I have the chance." George's face remained solemn. "Come on," 'Fred' shoved his brother's shoulder, trying to get him to smile. "It's not as if I'm going to die or something." George's face broke into a grin.

"Ya, because if you die, I'll kill you for leaving me." They both laughed as they mounted their brooms once more.

"I probably just end up in Azkaban or something." 'Fred' joked. George looked at his twin with puppy dog eyes.

"Without me?" He asked. 'Fred' just laughed as they both soared up into the sky to rejoin the others.

"Accio invisibility cloak." Bill called. The cloak he summoned came soaring to his hand, revealing piles of materials in the corner of the room. Charlie's eyes grew wide as he saw a bubbling substance in a cauldron and a pile of feather's sitting in another pot. Al recognized the odd substance as his Uncle George's Magic Repelling Super Stick Goop. Bill grabbed the pot of feathers and Charlie grabbed the odd goop, careful not to get put his fingers into the stuff after a thorough warning from Al.

They made their way up to Bill's room to join back with Rose and Hugo, who were staring out the window at the quidditch pitch, and Ron, who was currently staring at a chess board trying to figure out how to beat his toughest opponent, himself. Hugo turned around when he hear the sound of Bill, Charlie and Al enter the room, but Rose continued to stare out the window, thinking, just thinking.

"You got the stuff?" Hugo asked. Charlie and Bill slightly raised the items they were holding. "Excellent." Hugo said with a grin and rubbing hands together.

Lily glanced towards the house to see Al hovering on his broom. She smiled and nodded at her mum.

"'Fred'," Ginny said looking up with big eyes at her brother. "I'm tired of flying. Can we go in?" 'Fred' always had a hard time resisting his little sister's requests. He sighed and nodded. "George, James, Fred," He called. "We're going to go in. Either stay here with Lily, or come in as well." James, George, and Fred all exchanged glances.

"I'm coming in as well." George said as he flew down and landing next to his brother and sister.

"James," Fred called. "Do you want to go in?" James looked at his sister.

"Do what you want, Jamesie." She said with a smile. "I kind of just want to take a walk by myself." James looked back at Fred.

"I'm going in." Both Fred and James flew down to the ground and landed. Lily watched as the group began to walk back toward the house, and once they were far enough away, Lily flew towards the house and joined her brother. On either side of him were Bill and Charlie, each holding one of the materials, preparing to bomb the pranksters. Lily saw Ron, Hugo, and Rose resting their elbows on the windowsill, ready for the prank to begin.

Lily glanced down to see the group of five quickly approaching the house. Ginny looked up at Lily, and Lily motioned for Ginny to get out of the way. Ginny tugged on 'Fred's' sleeve.

"Yeah Gin," He asked.

"I forgot something back at the pitch." She said hurriedly. "Will you wait for me here?" 'Fred' agreed and made everyone wait as Ginny ran off in the other direction. The group of four huddled together and began talking. Al rolled his eyes. His family was way too predictable.

He gave the cue, and Bill and Charlie swooped down, pouring the goop and feathers all over the four, causing them to begin to resemble chickens. 'Fred', George, Fred and James all looked at themselves and groaned. Never once had their pranks backfired, except for that one time when Fred and James somehow ended up in the girl's lavatory or the one time when 'Fred' and George somehow ended up with green hair, purple eyes, and blue skin, but that was beside the point.

The four then glanced at each other, and the sight of the others covered in a strange goop and loads of feathers was quite comical. They all started laughing along with Ginny, Lily, Al, Rose, Hugo, Ron, Charlie, and Bill, who had all been doubled over laughing. Percy was even seen, standing at his window, chuckling.

'Fred', George, James, and Fred were the first ones to quite laughing as they quickly realized that it would take them a while to wash all of the goop off, not to mention removing the feathers. Everyone else slowly recovered, and they all joined the other four.

"Alright, whose idea was this?" George asked sternly. Al meekly raised his hand, trying to hide a grin. James smiled at his brother and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"You know, Al." He began. "I'm actually proud to call you my brother." Al rolled his eyes. "Wait," James said, his eyes fixed on Hugo, now. "Why is Hugo's elbow covered in the goop?" Hugo's face turned bright red.

"He's Hugo." Rose stated, as if it explained it all. Again, it did. Lily groaned.

"Oh, Hu." He attempted to smile, but it came out as more of a grimace.
