Joke's on Percy Now

'FRED! GEORGE!'

'Bye guys!'

'Hey, you're in this, too!'

'It was your idea!' Fred, George, and Terry were currently hiding behind the twin's bunkbed, fearing going down to Mrs. Weasley.

'GET DOWN HERE NOW!' Her voice echoed through the room, and all three of them winced. 

'Come on, Terry, you first,' George said, and she was about to decline again, when they picked her up by her arms and carried her down the stairs. They were easily stronger than she was, so her kicking did no good, and when she reached Mrs. Weasley she grinned rather sheepishly.

'H-hello Mrs. Weasley,' she said in a tone that matched her face, and the twins grinned.

'DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?' she bellowed, and Terry backed right up into the twins, terror on her face. Percy was sitting in a chair, attempting to take off a pair of glasses which his eyes buldged out of. Bill and Charlie were holding their laughter, without much success.

'I think that sticking charm worked well, Georges,' Fred said, and George agreed.

'SO IT WAS YOU TWO, TOO?' Mrs. Weasley cried, and all three of them let out a small 'eep!'

'Well, it was Terry's idea-'

'It's all right Mrs. Weasley, I tested them myself, they'll come off in a moment, really!' Mrs. Weasley sighed, and Terry looked at Percy. 'Percy, don't tug on them so hard, gently…' she said, and he gave her a look of death. She backed up behind the twins. 'Well, I think I've worn out my welcome, bye!' she said and popped out of site. The twins tried to grab onto her, but she was too quick, and they were left to fend for themselves.

Terry reappeared in the living room of Number Twelve and started laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach. She started to breathe again as she walked into the hallway, where she found Lupin talking to Snape in the hallway.

'I take it you had a good day today?' he greeted, and she gave him a thumbs-up.

'Oh yeah,' she said, and pat Snape on the shoulder, 'how are you, there? Come on, smile, Snape!' she said, and he glared at her. 'Er—Professor, I mean… sir…' she added, and bolted to the kitchen. He sighed in great distaste, and wiped his sleeve off where she had touched him.

'And she's expecting to be part of the Order?' he asked, and Lupin shrugged.

'Of course she does. Is there anything else you wanted?'

'No,' he said, and turned, letting himself out the door. Lupin shook his head, and went into the kitchen himself. Terry had taken the liberty of making herself a sandwich, and taken a goblet of Wolfsbane.

'I fink his face vool crag if-e shmiled,' she said through a mouth full of ham and cheese.

'What?' Terry swallowed, and repeated herself.

'I think his face would crack if he smiled,' she said and he nodded.

'Most likely,' he said, and she took a huge gulp of the potion.

'I've taken this junk at least four more times and it still tastes like the inside of a shoe.'

'You've eaten shoe before?'

'Oh yes, quite horrid,' she said. Lupin wasn't even going to ask. 'The school year start yet?'

'Two months ago,' Lupin pointed out, and she nodded.

'Right, that's why Ron and Ginny aren't at the Burrow any more,' Lupin sighed, sometimes she couldn't put two and two together, this one. 'How's my odds with the Order?' Terry asked as Lupin took his own goblet from the icebox.

'I don't know, honestly,' he said, 'you'll have to ask Dumbledore, but I think he might say yes.' Terry took one final gulp of Wolfsbane and put her goblet on the table with a thump.

'I'll have to ask him next time he comes,' she said, and ate the rest of her sandwich, 'but I really want to get back to Wheezes when this is over.'

Epilogue

Teresa Doony did become part of the Order of the Phoenix three months later. She was given assignments as the Order called for her skills, but she was caught by her brother and sister a year later. She was tortured until they tired of her, and they killed her three months after they caught her. Her body was found on the steps of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes the next day.
