Stop While You're Ahead
Danielle and Hermione slept well that night, but they made sure they were awake before the boys. They couldn't very well defend themselves if they were asleep.
The two girls got an early up and headed off for an early morning run around the lake. The sun was just rising in the east, and the morning dew gleamed like a million little rainbows. The girls had a good run, talking about what they were going to do with the rest of their weekend, since they would probably have to spend it avoiding the boys.
"Do you know how mad they are going to be when they get their hands on us?" Hermione asked as they walked into the castle and headed for the great hall.
"Let's just see how breakfast goes." Danielle said trying to be optimistic. Hermione nodded and they walked into the crowed great hall.
Harry and Ron looked up as the girls timidly entered. Hermione and Danielle smiled weakly, like they were not sure what the boys were going to do to them.
"Good morning." Ron said with a slight hint of anger in his voice.
Hermione had suddenly decided that although the boys had every right to retaliate, they should be mad at them. She rolled her eyes and said, "It was only a prank you know. No one got hurt or even embarrassed."
Ron just glared at her, he obviously felt differently. Harry looked at his best friend glaring at his girlfriend and vice versa.
"Okay, okay everyone. I'm beginning to think this prank war has gone on too long. Not to mention that teams are a little uneven." Harry said this and the two girls laughed, while Ron turning his glare to Harry.
" You have to admit that our pranks always backfire and theirs always succeed with flying colors." Ron's glare softened a little into a pout.
Danielle smiled and said, " Don't worry, just because you guys can't seem to pull a decent prank, doesn't mean I don't love you."
Ron glared at her again. Danielle was about to apologize, she didn't mean what she said, but Ron kissed her to shut her up. When they broke apart, Danielle smiled and said, " It didn't mean it."
Now was Ron Stern to smile, " I know."
"So, I know that you two are criminal masterminds, but how did you come up with that brilliant prank that you pull last night." Harry asked raising his eyebrows at the two girls who just laughed.
Danielle knew better than to say it out loud, so she telepathically told Harry.
"What?" Harry said not knowing if she was joking.
"Yeah, we met the two of them at Hogsmead yesterday." Danielle said trying to fill in the clueless Ron.
"Those to gave us enough pranks to keep us busy for another three years." Hermione added with a laugh.
Both Harry and Ron look like deer caught in the headlights of a car. Their eyes wide as the realization of what was going to happen sunk in.
"Well, I would like to say that the only reason that we haven't pulled a really good prank is that we have been preparing for the ultimate prank, a prank that is so good it will top all those you got from our so-called friends." Harry said and Ron nodded across the table from him.
Hermione laughed and said, "Of course dear." Danielle knew that Hermione was simply playing along with him.
"So do you guys want to call it quits before we pull this prank of all pranks?" Ron asked.
The girls laughed, they knew all too well that there was no prank of all pranks. They boys were just trying to avoid the fact that their girlfriends were beating them at the game that they started.
"Have you ever seen me back out of anything?" Danielle said to her brother and boyfriend.
"No, but I thought you might have learned to stop while your head." Harry said in a voice that had the slightest hint of pleading in it.
"And I would have thought the two of you would learn to know when to throw in the towel." Hermione said, giving the challenge back to the boys. Both boys glared at her.
"Wow, if looks could kill." Danielle said with a laugh. Although the joke wasn't really funny, all four friends started laughing and couldn't seem to stop.
"So does this mean that our war is still on?" Harry said as they all finally regained their composure.
"Yeah, and you know that you would hate calling it off." Danielle said with a big smile.
"You know me too well." Harry sighed shaking his head.
"Well, you are my twin." Danielle said pointing out the obvious.
They all finished their breakfast and headed off for a day the promised to be chalk full of fun.
