"That was awful! Everyone knows she deserved a Kiss! How is she innocent!" yelled George as soon as they got back to their dorm. Lee and Fred thought he'd start on this as soon as they were out the door, but they instead rode in complete silence.
"It sure was! What if she escaped from Azkaban! Then she'd come to kill you!" said Fred in a deadly quiet voice.
"It really was unfair, but no one has ever escaped from Azkaban, you know,"
"Yes Lee, we know!" Fred and George yelled at the same time.
"But I only said so because it's possible. She's a very fast runner, so who knows, maybe she could outrun the dementor!" said Fred in defense of himself.
"That's crazy," said Lee as he headed out, avoiding a major argument.
"It sounds like he's on her side, George!" said Fred angrily.
"He's not, now let's just forget about this whole morning and go play a prank on someone."
"Okay, who do you want to prank?"
"Hmm, how about Percy?"
"Sure! Let's put some Cockroach Clusters in his underwear!"
"Ok," George choked out, he was laughing so hard he could barely talk.
So as soon as George could be quiet, they crept to Percy's dormitory and grabbed all his underwear. They then secured the Cockroach Clusters in his underwear with Spellotape.
"This is great," Fred said when they were away from Percy's dorm, "I can't wait 'till he realizes they're there. You might wanna plug your ears."
"Nah, I don't want to do that, who knows how long it'll be until he wakes-" George plugged his ears at that very moment, because Percy started screaming.
"FRED AND GEORGE! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" he roared.
"The meaning of what? And why are you yelling?" said Fred as Percy came down the stairs, in his pajamas.
"You know very well what I'm talking about!"
"No we don't." said George.
"Someone, a.k.a. you, put Cockroach Clusters in my underwear!"
"Well, whoever it was did a great job," said Fred between roars of laughter.
"You know you did it, who else plays pranks anyway?"
"Alright, alright, I'll admit it. Fred knows nothing about this, but I put Oliver Wood up to it."
"That git," Percy muttered as he stalked away to yell at Wood.
"Brilliant, George!" said Fred once Percy was out of sight.
"Ah, if only he put them on…" George said.
"Yes, that would've been priceless." Fred agreed.
"Look at the time, we've got to go to Transfiguration now," said George sadly.
"Yes, time flies when you play pranks," laughed Fred.
"HA! I KNEW IT!" yelled Percy.
"Perce, I meant that prank we just played on Lee."
"Oh. Darn," Percy fell for these things so easily.
"Mr. Weasley, can I see you a moment after class?" Professor McGonagall asked once Fred and George arrived. "George, that is."
"Sure," George said.
All throughout the lesson, where they were learning to turn quills into big Poinsettias, George was wondering what McGonagall would want to see him about. Probably either the outcome of the hearing, or maybe, she found out about his and Fred's prank on Percy.
"Class dismissed," McGonagall said as the bell rang.
"Professor, what would you like to speak with me about?" asked George as he walked up to her desk.
"I just wanted to know the outcome of the hearing. Dumbledore was busy, so I couldn't ask him."
"Oh, well, the vote came out to be a tie, so she has a life sentence in Azkaban, but no Kiss."
"That little…" muttered McGonagall with more rage even then the time Fred and George went too far pranking her.
"Yes, she is an imbecilic git."
"Usually, you'd have detention for that, but this is different. Before I start cursing her out even more, you may as well leave. Goodbye," she said.
"Goodbye, Professor," said George.
"What did she want?" Fred asked the second he saw George."Hello to you too. She wanted to know the outcome of the hearing."
"Figures," he muttered.
"At least I wasn't getting busted for the prank this morning."
"True."
And with that they walked to History of Magic class.
