Harry walked into the kitchen area to see Mrs. Weasley scolding Ron while she finished cooking. Ron was nodding to whatever she was saying while looking repentant, though he was quick to roll his eyes at Harry.
Suppressing a chuckle the dark haired teen quickly made his way over to the pair. "Mrs. Weasley I'm really sorry for scaring you like that." He said sincerely. He could see her softening and hurried on. "Ron and I'll set the table and bring out the drinks. It's the least we can do."
"Yeah I guess." Ron mumbled knowing she would get suspicious if he didn't give at least a token protest.
"Hmm, that's kind of you boys to offer." She said before giving her son an arch look. "And Ron you can thank Harry for rescuing you from having to stand here listening to me lecture you some more."
Harry pretended to look abashed. "Sorry Mrs. Weasley."
Ron snorted as she waved them off. "That worked great." He enthused in a low voice.
Harry nodded as he piled his arms with plates. "Much better than what we had planned. This way it looks like an act of remorse."
"And it's anything but that." The red headed teen stated as they exchanged gleeful looks.
Soon everyone had settled into their seats at the dining table with one exception.
"Where's Remus?" Harry asked as he looked around.
"He's l upstairs." Tonks explained. She shrugged helplessly. "He's still a little upset and wanted to take a few minutes to cool off."
Harry nodded looking pensive. "It's just that I wanted to make a toast. To family and friends." He blushed as all eyes turned to him. "I know I was a bit of a brat when we started reading these books but I'm really glad that we are."
"Well I think that deserves a toast." Sirius declared with a proud smile. He picked up his goblet, indicating for everyone to do the same. "To the books and the changes they may bring."
Harry watched with eagle eyes as everyone drank deeply as he did the same. He exchanged surprised looks with Ron. Polyjuice mixed with pumpkin juice was not as bad as he remembered. Course he wasn't drinking bits of evil Slytherin either.
All around the room there were shocked gasps and groans as the changes were taking place. After several long minutes everyone slumped back in their seats and gazed around in astonishment, Harry (Sirius) having to pluck his glasses from his godfather (Harry) so that he could see properly.
Where the headmaster usually sat was a very unusual sight, Snape dressed in bright purple robes. They gaped in shock to see that the dark eyes were actually twinkling. Next to him sat a very stern looking Dumbledore in severe black robes. Arms folded tightly against his chest he had a ferocious glare aimed down the table.
Arthur and Molly grinned at each other before getting up and approaching their twin sons. "Boys." Arthur (George) began unable to keep a straight face. "I appreciate the fact that you are now adults, responsible ones at that, and I cannot keep you from joining the order. I'm proud of you."
Molly (Fred) nodded as she patted Fred on the back. "I'm sure your joke shop will be a rousing success. If there is any way I can help just let me know."
"Fred." Fred (Molly) yelled, an amused and irritated look on his face. "You know full well I don't approve of that joke shop. And you're too young for the order."
"Now Fred." Molly (Fred) cooed. "Why are you yelling at yourself?"
"Umm, what's happening?" Ginny (Neville) asked. There was a strained smile on her face as she watched the Weasley parents fall to the floor in hysterics.
"It's okay Nev." Kingsley (Emmeline) assured her. The dark skinned man gazed at the dress wearing Neville before turning to look where he knew the kid had been sitting. "It should wear off by the time we finish lunch. Merlin this is confusing."
"Someone." Ron (Bill) couldn't help smirking at where his older brother was rolling on the floor. "Has spiked our drinks with Polyjuice."
"That's why you wanted to set the table." Fred (Molly) yelled, glaring at Harry.
Harry (Sirius) grinned back at him. "I didn't set the table." He told the enraged twin. "Besides you pull enough pranks that I wouldn't think you'd care."
"Potter." The black clad Dumbledore hissed. The old hands were curled tightly around the knife in his hand.
"Now Albus." The younger generation fell out of their chairs at the sight of the potion master smiling. "I'm sure Mr. Potter just wanted to loosen up the mood."
"Why are we blaming Harry?" Sirius (Harry) piped up with a big grin. "When has he ever played a prank before?"
"Yeah." Bill (Ron) grumbled pulling himself off the floor. "This is more the twins area of expertise."
"Exactly." George (Arthur) protested playfully causing his father to glare at him. "Don't give away our credit."
"How on earth did you get everyone's hair?" Luna (Hermione) asked making everyone crack up at the sight of the flighty girl being serious.
"Why are you asking me?" Sirius (harry) protested, unable to stop grinning. "I certainly didn't sneak into Dumbledore's room in the middle of the night and I'm sure Harry didn't either."
McGonagall (Moody) pretended to glared at the two angrily. "You stole my Polyjuice." She shouted.
"Minnie I didn't know you had Polyjuice." Harry (Sirius) looked shocked. "Just what are you using it for hmmm?"
Charlie (Tonks) choked as the fake Moody blushed. "Constant Vigilance." He shouted at him before laughing hysterically.
Tonks (Charlie) looked at him weirdly from across the table. "This is too weird." She mumbled.
"Harry Potter." Molly (fred) began, hands on her hips. "You actually snuck into Mad Eye's room and not only confiscated his Polyjuice but took a hair from his head without him knowing? Wow Harry, just wow."
"Thank you, thank you." Harry (Sirius) stood up and bowed before Sirius pulled him down with a roll of his eyes.
"You did no such thing." The dog animagus reminded him. "And there was no stealing. The potion was volunteered." He winked at a chuckling McGonagall (Moody). "Besides Ron is the one that was brave enough to go into Snape's room."
"I didn't." Ron (Bill) protested when Dumbledore's hard gaze swung to meet his.
"I think we should congratulate the boys on a prank well done." Moody (McGonagall) started.
"But promise no more pranks for at least a day." Fred (molly) added.
"How weird is it to see Fred declaring prank free time?" Bill (Ron) asked setting off the laughter once again.
Remus walked in, raising an eyebrow at the loud laughter. "Harry can I speak to you for a moment?" He asked gently grabbing Harry by the arm and pulling him from the room. He didn't see Sirius and Bill exchanging amused looks.
"Moony do you hate me?" Harry (Sirius) asked when the older man seemed to be struggling for words.
"What?" The werewolf reared back in shock, not registering that the teen had called him by his nickname for the first time. "Of course not. Why would you think such a thing?"
"You've been pissy all day and really cheesed off about some stuff. I figured it was my fault." Harry (Sirius) told him adopting a pitiful face.
"Language." Remus scolded looking upset. "And you need to stop taking everything so personal. Not everything is your fault." He sighed. "But I realize I have been particularly unsettled today and wanted to assure you that it has nothing to do with you."
"Then why? Is Wolfie getting out of control?" Harry (Sirius) asked, a smirk crossing his face.
Remus gave the teen an odd look. "I really think you have spent more time with Sirius than anyone realizes."
Harry (Sirius) grinned cheekily at him. "You didn't answer my question." He pointed out.
"Yes the wolf is having a hard time adjusting to the time difference so to speak. But the reason I pulled you out here separately is to talk about Sirius." He explained looking even more uncomfortable than before.
Green eyes flashed in warning. "What about him?"
"I'm worried about him, about how hard he's taking all your little stunts."
"Little stunts?" Harry (Sirius) mouthed.
Remus didn't notice as he continued. "You may not realize this but your godfather is still fragile, he spent a long time in Azkaban and he hasn't had enough time to heal yet."
Harry (Sirius) was glaring. "He's not fragile." He retorted.
"He may not seem like it to you but I've known him a lot longer." The teen snorted and kept quiet. "I'm worried about him and I would think you would be too."
"So what are you asking me to do." Harry (Sirius) asked in a strained voice.
"I just think it would be a good idea if you gave him some space." The werewolf started, shocked when the teen growled at him.
"That's bullshit Mooney. The last thing I want is him pulling away. He's the only reason I have to keep going and it took a long time to get this far with him."
Remus blinked at the angry boy in front of him. "Sirius?" He asked faintly.
"Yes its me." Harry (Sirius) told him. "Just your bad luck that you picked the time of my Godson's big prank to have your little talk with him."
Remus paled as the implications hit him. "Padfoot, I was just trying to look out for you."
Harry (Sirius) snorted angrily. "By pulling my godson away from me? By making him feel guilty for the stress I'm under?" He cocked his head. "Is that where all the anger is coming from? Every time something happens in the book and I get worried you get angry."
Remus stumbled back a step. "Mooney worries about you. You're pack and I've, he's, already let you down so much."
"You might be pack Remus but Harry is family. The three of us could have been family together but that doesn't seem to be working out. So you need to realize that and get control of your damn wolf." He said firmly.
He sighed when Remus looked sad but unrepentant. "If you think the stuff I'm hearing in these books are hard for me to listen to how do you think Harry felt having to go through all that alone? I wasn't there for him then, you weren't there for him. He didn't have pack or family." He let that sink in for a moment. "Do you have any idea how it would have made Harry feel having you tell him to stay away from me?"
Remus finally looked ashamed. "I didn't want to hurt Harry." He protested. "Mooney might not see him as pack but I do care for him."
"I know that Remus. But you're letting your emotions run rampant and you need to get control." He pulled up a grin. "Flirt with Tonks some more." He teased.
Remus blushed. "She's too young for me." He protested. "So what were you saying about a prank?"
Harry's face split into a grin. "It's great, you have to see this." He said leading the way back into the dining room.
They had just sat down when Charlie (Tonks) placed a hand on his knee and leaned closer. "You won't believe what's happened." He said lowly causing Remus to stare at him in shock and jerk his knee out of reach.
"Remus." Charlie (Tonks) whined scooting closer to him. "Don't you like me anymore?"
"Tonks stop that." Tonks (Charlie) yelled her face beet red. "I don't…, your are…, urgh just stop it!"
"Would someone tell me what is going on?" Remus demanded to more laughter. He was practically in Sirius's lap as he edged away from the man.
"The delinquent and his friend." Dumbledore (Snape) sneered causing Remus to gasp in shock. "Snuck in to everyone's room last night and obtained hairs."
Hairs? The werewolf thought a moment before his eyes widened. "Polyjuice?" He questioned. "They managed to trick everyone here into taking Polyjuice?"
The rest of the hour was full of laughter as the Weasley parents shocked everyone by starting a food fight, Snape laughingly handed out sweets and Remus obliged his friend by kissing Charlie. Many pictures were taken to document the event.
"You know the best things about pranks?" Sirius asked as he handed back the glasses to his godson. "Getting revenge."
"Do you seriously want to challenge the son, godson and nephew of a Marauder?" Harry asked with a smirk.
Haha that was so confusing to write. Just to clarify
Dumbledore and Snape were polyjuiced as each other.
McGonagall and Moody—though I don't see Minnie putting the fake eye in.
