"I solemnly swear that I am up to good"
Chapter One: No Joke
The Sting
Okay there is that special someone or not so special someone that you prank every April Fools Day and this year they'll expect you to prank them!
So you start to remind them that April Fools Day is coming and they start to get worried. On the morning of April the first they may wake up sweating, most definitely dreading what you have in store for them. They'll be on tender hooks . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"What do you mean by tender hooks?" ask Peter who was quite uncertain of the phrase
"It means worry, dread, all senses are at their full capacity and it is good to see young people asking questions, as it is a fool, he who doesn't ask questions" the Headmaster answered with a twinkle in his eye. (And this was the last time written in this book in the Great Hall!)
. . . . . . . . . . . . .all morning. Until April fools end, which is evidently is midday, your quarry can not relax for a second! When April fools day is officially over for another year, they'll breath a sigh of relief because they think you didn't prank them or at least that's what they think.
The fact that you didn't play a prank on them was the joke in it's self! Why? Well you had them so worried. Sniggers
The Set Up
All you need is some one to prank
As April 1st approaches decide on who you are going to prank.
"if you are any thing like us, Marauders? You will most likely have tons of quarry." Chipped in James
Remind them every day that there are so many days until April Fools Day.
Tell them that you have planned a really big prank play on them this year.
The day before April 1st walk pass your quarry and give them an evil grin, do this a few times during the course of the day.
April fools day has dawned! During the course of the morning go past them and do either grin evilly or rub your hands together excitedly or snigger at them. "This will make them feel even more uncomfortable" pip in Remus
One minute to the end of April fools day (for another year) go up to your victim and tell them April Fools.
But if they try to tell you that there's only a minute left in April fools Day and you've not prank them yet, then explain the prank to them and that you were play the prank all morning. Make sure you explain that the prank was the fact you didn't play a prank on them, but you still managed to have them running scared all morning!
"Hey wasn't that prank that Krum girl played on us?" ask James
"That funny talking Girl, that none of our pranks work on her" ask Peter
"She has a name, you know, her names is Angel, and she is New Zealand, that'll explain her accent. I don't want to be around when Angel finds out that you've been using her pranks in this book." Remus put in
"She's not going to find out unless you go and tell her, Moony" Sirius said with a mischievous grin
"I Heard that, Black"
Suddenly the boy's dorm filled with lighting and suddenly Sirius was now wearing a pink tutu, toe shoes and tiara, just like the one Malfoy made to wear about four weeks ago and every time Malfoy said mudblood he would break into dance (he dance all major Ballet scenes that a girl would dance) and that spell lasted a week.
Sirius's new look was met with sniggers from his friends and the rest of the school for a week until the spell wore off.
