The Practical Joke
Chapter 5

IMPORTANT: Although some may disagree with the rating, I'm still keeping it as PG, because the TV show friends has as much language as this and my little sister has been watching that since she was 9. So I guess this is pg-10. Anybody under 11 or 12 wouldn't get the jokes, anyway.

"First the shagging, now the snogging? Ronny, didn't anyone teach you the concept of abstinence?" shouted George as Ron and Hermione were breaking off their kiss.

"Want me to hold him down for you?" said Hermione, grinning.

"That would make me happier than the happiest happy thing that ever lived a happy, happy life."

As they advanced apon George, he began to squeal like a girl, "Aaah! Not the face! You can hit anywhere but the face!"

That was a mistake.

After "little Georgey" healed and Fred enchanted their instruments to play on key, the band was ready for their first rehearsal. It took place in the common room, because it was legal to be there, and it would piss off McGonagall.

"Ok Ginny," said Fred, "You're a great bassist...but you just don't have the look we need for our band."

"If I did have the look for a band called 'The Snape Suckers,' I'd be worried," Ginny replied, trying to focus on tuning her bass and not on killing her brothers.

"Perhaps what my brother is trying to say, Gin," piped up George, "Is that if you wore a low-cut muggle shirt instead of your uniform, we'd sell more tickets."

"Now I'd have to disagree here," said Harry, who the twins had appointed as manager, "I think Ginny is just perfect how she is...er...I mean, she's a great bass player, and that's all that matters."

"Riiiight," said George, grinning from ear to ear, "Nice save lover-boy."

"Well, I guess it's okay, Harry," joked Fred, "Because it is customary for managers to marry their clients."

Harry blushed profusely and returned to his seat. Band practice continued, starting with "The Bitch Song." Unfortunately, Parvati came up to listen just as Fred was in the middle of the chorus.

"FRED!" she huffed, "I hope that song isn't about me!"

"No, babe," he replied, "It's about our love!"

"FRED! It's over!"

"What's over?" laughed George, "He's just messing with your head."

"Is that true Fred? Am I just a joke to you?"

Fred faced a dilemma--either he could be mocked by his brother, or he would the lose the only girl that ever let him kiss her. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out, and Parvati stormed out of the common room and out of Fred Weasley's life.

Will Fred grovel for forgiveness? Will harry and ginny hook up? will the band EVER do the hampster dance? find out next!
