Chapter 1: The Prank

"This'll be great!" George… ahem… Fred Weasley exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know!" replied his twin brother, George. "I can't wait to see the look on the git's face." The two boys ran forward, laughing quietly.


Draco Malfoy sneered at the trio of friends. "You are so pathetic!" he spat.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy!" Ron snapped, helping Hermione to her feet. Malfoy snorted.

"Make me."

Harry and Ron both drew their wands. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light. The students stumbled around, blinking and rubbing their eyes. Harry, who was the first to regain his sight, called to his friends and led them to the end of the hall.

"What the hell was THAT?" Ron exclaimed, once they had put a considerable distance between Malfoy and themselves.

"I've absolutely no idea," Hermione sighed.

"Come on, let's get back to the common room," Harry said.

The others nodded their agreement. "I'm feeling really tired, all of a sudden," Ron said with a yawn. The three friends hurried back to their common room.


"Do you think we got him?" Fred… cough… George Weasley said, turning to his twin.''

"Of course it will! Come on let's get back to the common room, before someone tries to dock points!"

The brothers scurried away from the corridor, laughing loudly.


Madam Pomfrey sighed. That laughter was that of the Weasley twins and that meant that she would soon have a patient who would be with her for a long while, as she tried to find a cure. She moved around the hospital wing, collecting various cures for anything that the Twins would perform on another student.
