How I Changed Fate-Chapter 6: Tricking Twin Tricksters

After the sorting night I knew I had to think of the timelines of each of the books and how and when I should intervene. After much thought I had come to the conclusion that in order to get as much done as I can and to save the most amount of people as possible; I would need to get the Marauders Map from the twins at the beginning of the year rather than when Harry was supposed to get it later sometime in December. This meant that I was going to have to trick the twins into giving it to me. I also had to find out what else is okay to change or not. I knew that I shouldn't screw around with the timeline that it is thrown into chaos, but I also knew that I had to fix so many things. My first major choice was to save Buckbeak or not. It wouldn't be that hard of a fix after all I am an Elemental Empath, I could simply make Buckbeak alright with Draco just coming up to him or put myself in front of Draco before the attack. As I thought it out though I saw that even though I had successfully captured the rat there were still Dementors and I am missing something about what is actually going on. So, as a precondition I allowed for Buckbeak's story to play out on its own. Once I thought about what I needed to do I started to plan how to trick the twins.

The plan was really good and managed to get the map after a week. What I did was something that I always wanted to do, I got to prank Peeves. I organized a room with traps all over it that would spray paint all over whoever tried to move anything. It only took telling Peeves that someone left him a present in the room for him to then come back covered in all the colors in the rainbow. I faked surprise at seeing him and watched as Fred and George loudly wondered who had tricked Peeves. I walked up to them and said "I heard a student tell Peeves there was a present for him in a room and he went to go get it and that's how he came back."

Fred spoke first. "Someone tricked Peeves, we should meet them George!"

"Yeah, we should, Louise could you introduce us?"

This is when I struck. "Actually, the person who tricked him wanted me to tell you that they will meet you in two days in the Astronomy tower before dinner."

George spoke then. "We should be careful it could be a trap."

"Yeah, but we'll still go."

I had gotten them. I spent one whole day (I stole Hermione's time turner to learn that day) setting up the tower for this to work. Instead of a bunch of paint I put charms on every object in the room including the floor that wouldn't show up on anything until an hour later. It also wouldn't trigger until the next day so students wouldn't get affected. Then I waited for the day the twins were to go there.

I couldn't believe my eyes when two hours later those buachaillí dÚsachtach* came down covered in different charms that changed so much about them. Whenever one of them spoke it changed their hair color, their clothes changed with every laugh that they heard, and whenever they stood or sat down, they talked in different kinds of the poetry. It was the funniest thing in the world.

Two days later they approached me and handed me the paper and said in unison "I solemnly swear I am up to now good."

And I answered "Mischief Managed."

They didn't look at me for a long time but I didn't think about it. I finally had the map and now all I had to do was to convince Harry to let me barrow his invisible cloak every once in a while, and that should be relatively easy when I tell him why I want to use it, but I won't deal with that now. That day I got the map I started to make my plans for the future a reality.
