A/n Hello hello! Glad to be writing again. My mom came down with Lyme
disease so was on the computer every waking second. I finally have a chance
to write and am enjoying it all. Well if you want to help me, email me
ideas. I need them. I am now just winging this story and I fear that I
might not know how to end it. Sorry people but there won't be a sequel for
a long time. Ok here's 13.
Chapter 13: All hell breaks loose
Harry awoke Monday morning. Harry had already gotten Fred and George as his two judges. Harry rushed through his homework yesterday so he had plenty of free time to think about the prank contest. Harry showered, shaved and combed his hair. Then he got dressed and went down to the common room. It was fairly early in the morning. About 6 or so. Not a single Gryffindor boy was up. Harry sat on the most comfortable looking couch and thought about the contest. Harry decided to use what he'd learned in lessons recently. Let me see. There was that spell in charms that animates a small amount of metal. I wonder where one would find tinfoil. Yeah.That would be easily animateable. Hmm. Later he'd go to see Dobby in the kitchens. Lessee. Harry thought for awhile and finally went down for an early breakfast.
Harry ate quickly. By the time he'd finished one or two of the early risers were there but that was it. Harry figured he'd go and find Peeves. Harry made sure nobody was looking and slipped on his invisibility cloak. Harry found Peeves rather quickly and Harry beckoned him over.
"Peeves." Harry said
"That you Potter?"
"Yeah. About the contest."
"What about it?"
"Do you have your judges?"
"Yes."
"Good. We will both get our judges and meet in the trapdoor room in fifteen minutes." Harry told the poltergeist
"Fine. Prepare to lose."
"Oh and one more thing. You are not allowed to tell anyone about me being your opponet. You are to call me the invisible prankster from now on." Harry told him
"Deal.Bye." The poltergeist agreed peevishly
Harry was in the trapdoor room fifteen minutes later with Fred, George, Peeves, Nearly Headless Nick and Moaning Myrtle.
"3..2..1.. Gooooooo!" The judges chorused.
Fred followed Harry and Moaning Myrtle followed Peeves. (The judges would switch off). Harry Whipped on his cloak and went up to the portrait of fruit. Harry tickled the pear and entered. Harry dropped his cloak and sat in a chair."
"Mr. Harry Potter sir, Does you need something?" Dobby asked
"Yes Dobby. I need some Tinfoil. It is also called aluminum foil."
"OK. Dobby gets tinfoil for Mr. Harry Potter sir."
Dobby popped out then came back with three rolls of the stuff.
"Thank you Dobby." Harry said as he ran off.
Harry put on his cloak and entered an empty classroom. Harry began to make bunnies out of the tinfoil. By 8:15 Harry had used up all the tinfoil. Harry began to enchant them. (With spells to make their eyes to glow red and animating them and telling them what to do.) By 8:30 he had named them. :Harry called them his "TINFOIL BUNNIES OF DOOM" Harry also had them set so when one was destroyed a misty cloud would come out reading "You have become a victim of the Invisible Prankster then it will laugh loudly (and for framing purposes it sounds like Draco Malfoy's laugh.) (A/N Thanks duke.) Harry opened the door and unleashed them upon the school and the unlucky targets of them. Then Harry went off to transfiguration.(a substitute teacher was now teaching) Harry reached the class 10 minutes early and found a note on the door:
Due to a student dubbed "The Invisable Prankster we have cancelled all classes until further notice. You are to report to your common room Immeadiately and stay there until you are allowed to leave and this horrendous prank has been cleaned up.
Harry smiled a big smile. Then Harry ran up towards the Gryffindor common room, humming the rites of spring (a classical music piece) by Vivaldi all the way.
At around noon Harry (under the Invisibility cloak) put out his box (the one with prank suggestions) out and firmly attatched it to the table, then put his cloak back in his chest upstairs.
Harry was making his way back down when Harry heard Professor Angelo (the new potions master, an Italian wizard) talking with Professor Moody (the real one).
"Well, that doesn't seem to help anything. There is one of these boxes in each common room. Whoever this prankster is is good." Moody commented "Thinks like an Auror that one whoever it is. Whoever it ismight be a bloody good 'un someday."
"Wella I would agreeya with youa but this boxa wasn't here an hour ago. The pranksta is still out creating trouble I knowa." Professor Angelo pointed out.
"Fine you search for him. I will help Albus and Sprout with those metal Rabbit things." Moody told the italian.
Then they both headed out without another word. Harry was sooo glad he had Ron Sneak into the other common rooms under the cloak and put some suggestion boxes there. Harry suddenly got an idea. Harry went back and got his cloak again.
It was dinnertime before the tinfoil bunnies of doom finally were all destroyed. (By the way the bunnies look sort of like the pols voices from zelda) Harry hadn't had time to pull off his idea yet. Harry made up an excuse (he had to use the bathroom) and once outside the hall Harry slipped his cloak back on. Harry snuck over to the Slytherin table and Harry cast a simple "crimsonius" on each pumpkin juice bowl. Harry walked back out of the hall, slipped off his cloak and walked back in. Chaos was already starting to occur. One by one the Slytherins were turning Weasley red, robes and all. The Heimlich spell had to be cast on Justin Finch-Fletchly because he started to laugh with food in his mouth. Lee Jordan ended up dropping his goblet into the punch he was laughing so hard. The goblet succeded in getting everyone near him soaked. After fifteen minutes the laughter finally died down and people began their normal dinner talk again. Harry slipped out unnoticed and began booby trapping things. When Harry heard the rumble of footsteps Harry ran towards the common room. Harry looked at all he had done in that spare half-hour before people left the great hall. Harry had painted the charms corridor Tie-dye.(All of Harry's pranks there is written in that haze stuff "you are a victim of the invisible prankster" and then there is fake Draco Malfoy laughter) Harry also made another fake step on the staircase Neville always trips on. Harry set in an empty room marbles across the floor and when you enter they float in the air like an angry swarm of bees. A hallway that has the illusion of the walls closing in on you and lastly enchanted a suit of armor to chase after any passing Slytherin student.
Content with his work Harry Used a summoning charm to bring all the boxes (The suggestion boxes) to him. Drat. Not a single one Harry thought. After emptying all four boxes. With the banishing charm Harry sent the boxes back. Harry set up a tray in the common room saynig "take one." And put the remainder of Fred and Georges candies on it. Harry laid down on the couch and saw Seamus walk up to the tray.
"Oooh. Candy." Seamus grabbed the blue candy and popped it into his mouth.
Seamus walked off with a smile on his face. He walked over to Fred and George and was about to brag when Seamus realized he couldn't open his mouth. Hi parted his lips at the mirror to see what happened His whole mouth was blue. Seamuss poked at it with one finger to try to get some off. His finger was stuck to it. Seamus was pulling as hard as he could but could not remove his finger from his tooth. Then there was a hilarious scene where about twenty Gryffindors were pulling on Seamus's arm. Then Angelina accidently got her finger stuck to Seamus's lip. Finally they just gave up and sat next to eachother on the couch, both obviously grumpy.
Around 9 or so people started going to bed (the train going home for the holidays leaves tomarrow) Harry joined them but did not plan on going home.
Harry awoke the next morning and his dorm with the exception of Ron was Empty! Harry did his morning routine (Trying hard not to wake Ron. If he woke he would see that mark Ginny left on Harry.) After his shower and other assorted things Harry put on his prankster cloak and started to search for things to set pranks on. Harry's evil side came through again and he got an idea. Harry set up tripwires that either sent pies flying at you or dumped a lot of water on you. Harry was walking down the hall when he heard Peeves scream in terror. The door at the end of the hall popped open and Peeves flew out, Followed by a steady stream of flying marbles. Harry held in his laughter. Then Peeves hit Harry's pie tripwire and got pegged in both the front and the back of his head.
"Curse you Prankster!!!!" Peeves yelled which was followed by that fake Draco Malfoy laughter.
It was then that Harry saw Mrs. Norris. She was stalking a mouse. Harry Got another idea. Harry whipped out his wand and transfigured the mouse into a German shepard. Mrs. Norris high-tailed it out of there followed closely by the mouse/dog. Harry saw Peeves again. Peeves had stolen one of the Twins' blue candies and used it to seal Filch's door shut. Then peeves stuck a tube under the door. Peeves flipped a switch and there was a sucking sound. Honey was pumping into filch's office. Then peeves ran. Or flew rather.
Harry followed peeves. Peeves was now oiling the staircase. Harry quickly transfigured a flying marble into the bloody baron and sent it flying after Peeves. Harry enchanted a spot in the floor to be like rubber. Step on it and you feel like you have the Jelly legs curse on you. Harry enchanted a mirror to make it look like there is a wizard with a wand pointed at you right behind you. Harry enchanted a door to look like it isn't there ant there is just a wall and Harry had to admit was excellent was enchanting a room so that all of the exits look exactly the same. Harry filled a room with fake spider web. Peeves stuffed gum in doorknobs. Harry made a chair run away every time you try to sit on it. Peeves poured glue across the entrance hall. Peeves stuffed the Prefect's bathtub full of dungbombs and set them off. Harry put some of Fred and Georges fake wands all around. On desks on night stands all over. Finally Peeves let loose Madame Hooch's bludgers.
This went back and forth for about three days like this. A tinfoil bunny here a broken vase there. All sorts of pranks but still no letter from Sirius or Remus.
Harry was deep in thought on the night of the 23rd when Ginny walked up to him. She was crying her eyes out.
"H-hogsmeade attacked. Moody hurt bad. Mrs. Rosmerta. Gone. Fudge dead. All dead.."
A/n Woohoo. There goes chapter 13. Only a few more chapters to go. RIP Richard Harris. Your memory will live on inside us all.
Thanks for all suggestions readers and thanks to my beta. Sour skittles. Weirdypoo. Roxygirl. So many names so little time. Tootles to you all.
