After Tonks had gone upstairs and Dumbledore and McGonagall had left, Bill and Charlie continued to sit at the table. Fleur moved to sit next to Bill. "Beel, you must know that I wouldn't care about what your face looks like."

Bill smiled at his wife to be. "Well, I'd think it's obvious seeing as we still get married. By the way, when do we get married?" The latter part of his statement was addressed to Gabby, who was the only time traveler at the table for the time being.

"Your wedding date was, or should I say is, August 1 of 1997."

"Wow, that's just two years away," said Bill.

"My brother is an old married man," teased Charlie. Bill whacked him on the arm. "Oi!"

Gabby giggled at the exchange between her grandpa and great-uncle. She hadn't ever seen them really tease each other, but she guessed that it probably was done when she wasn't around.

Suddenly Fred and George entered the kitchen trying very hard to keep smiles off of their faces. "All right, what did you two do?" asked Bill.

"You'll see in a moment," said Fred.

"I think everyone needs to go to the living room," put in George.

"It better not be as noisy as it was this morning," said Charlie. "Fireworks are not the nicest thing to wake up to." Charlie was trying to sound annoyed, but was unable to. He was thankful that the twins were still able to have a fun time even though they knew that much of the Order, including Fred, were not around in the time travelers time.

"Hey, we couldn't get out, so we blasted our way out," Fred said.

Bill and Charlie groaned, but they followed the twins out to the living room. Just as they were about to sit down on two easy chairs George shouted, "Not there!"

Charlie shrugged and the two of them moved over onto the couch. A minute later Remus and Sirius entered and promptly sat down on the two seats that Bill and Charlie had been warned not to sit in. Gradually the room began to fill up. Soon nearly everyone was relaxing in the living room. Suddenly there was an eruption of black powder. Remus yelped and tried to get out of his seat, but found himself to be stuck. Sirius also tried to get out of his seat, but to no avail. The powder was filling the room quickly. Soon it was difficult to see. "What the hell is going on?" asked Ron.

"I think it's a prank," whispered Gideon.

"Well, so far it's not that good," said John.

The twins heard them and glared at the Grandsters. "Just you wait, there's still more to come," said George. The powder had nearly filled the room by now. "What's going -" Before Remus could finish his sentence, he found himself standing on the ceiling. His feet were attached to it, and his head was hanging down. Gales of laughter broke out by the ones who could see this. Sirius didn't know what was going on since powder was still coming out from his chair. Suddenly the chair Sirius was sitting on began to move. It gradually levitated until it also was near the ceiling, but it didn't flip him upside down. Instead Sirius found himself zooming around the top of the room. He gripped the sides of the chair to avoid falling. The powder cleared and everyone could see now.

"My hair!" screamed Sirius as his chair zoomed around the room. His carefully arranged hair was a mess, at least in his opinion. Remus managed to get a quick glimpse of his friend as he zoomed around the room. "I think it looks good on you," he shouted over the gales of laughter from below.

Remus looked down at everybody. Harry was clutching his stomach and was trying to stay in his seat. Ron had already fallen over and Hermione and Ginny were helping each other stay upright. He saw the twins smirk at each other. "You!" Remus tried to sound angry, but this had to be the most fun he'd ever had in years. He hadn't had a prank pulled on him since before J-James died.

Sirius meanwhile was still trying to stay in his seat, but was beginning to slip. "I'm getting dizzy!" he called. Tonks, who had hurried downstairs when the noise began, looked up and burst out laughing. Sirius was sitting there, his legs straight out and Remus was trying to avoid getting hit by the rogue chair. Soon everyone who hadn't been laughing earlier were all struggling to stay in their seats.

After a few minutes the chair slowed down and began to move in a slightly different pattern. Suddenly Sirius found himself directly under Remus. "Uh oh," he thought. George nodded at Fred and Remus dropped. Sirius tried to move out of the way, but Remus landed on top of him. "Oof," mumbled Remus as he found his head buried in Sirius' legs. His own legs were dangling over the edge. The momentum of the chair stopped. "Uh oh," thought the two Marauders as the chair dropped. Sirius' chair landed in exactly the same place it had taken off from and the impact caused Remus to fly backwards and land in Tonks' arms.

Tonks looked startled for a second, but then helped a rather embarrassed Remus to an upright position. "What the ruddy hell was that?" asked a very out of breath Sirius.

"Padfoot, my dear friend," said Remus, "I think we've been pranked."

"I know that much Moony," said Siruis, then he asked. "What exactly was all that?"

"That my dear Marauders was Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder," said Fred.

"You can get it exclusively at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes," added George in an advertisement voice.

"I thought I told you to get rid of that stuff," said Molly glaring at the twins, who merely grinned mischievously. Molly groaned.

The twins decided to get out of the living room before there was any trouble. They were starting to sneak out when Sirius shouted. "Don't let them get away!" Fred and George started at each other and tried to Apparate upstairs, but they suddenly found themselves hanging upside down by their ankles.

"What the hell?" shouted a very confused Fred. George was squirming and trying to figure out a way to right himself, but kept falling back.

"Remus!" said Tonks, "I didn't know you had it in you."

"If I'm pranked, I prank right back," responded Remus.

"So what should we do with these two?" asked Sirius.

"I have an idea," said Remus, "Come on."

They left the twins hanging upside down. "Oi!" shouted George. "Could someone get us down?" Suddenly whatever was holding them in the air wasn't holding them any longer. They fell down and landed in a heap on the floor. "What sort of spell is that?" wondered Fred.

"I don't know, but I seriously . . ."

"Yes!" cried Sirius from the background.

"But I really," George stressed the word 'really', "want to learn that spell."
