If you recognize it, I do not own it.

Though it wasn't unusual to find Harry in the twin's room, this time was different. As the first year entered the room, he just went to the bed and flung himself into it. The two of them sat up seeing that something was bothering their younger friend. "What's on your mind," Fred asked since it usually took a good bit to bother the boy. He took insults thrown from the other students without a problem did detentions with a grin and so they knew that it was time to be serious.

"Tomorrow marks the anniversary of my parent's death," Harry admitted and the twins looked shocked that they had no idea. They felt like they should have known. They knew the first year was an orphan, but they had never thought about the day it happened. "I feel weird being upset about it, I didn't know them but I am. Do you think it's weird that I am mourning people I don't know?"

The twins moved onto the bed he was laying on and sat down seriously, they both had a serious side few saw and knew this wasn't time for jokes. Not when the first year was admitting something important to them. "No its not weird Harry, not at all," Fred stated, "Our mum and dad died when we were about 2. Well our mum died when we were 15 months, but our dad died when we were 2. Actually, apparently, we share that anniversary with you since tomorrows the anniversary of his death. We never knew them. Hell, we only have the story's our aunt and uncle, our cousins and Percy tells us. It still...it still matters even if you didn't know them. It feels like a piece of you is missing when your parents are gone. You have every right to mourn them whether you knew them or not. We have a tradition actually."

Harry looked at them confused not getting up from where he was laying but George spoke up. "See, we aren't ones for traditional mourning, I mean we are jokesters. So, every year we make the most of what we know of them. We were always compared to dad and uncle Gideon. For good reason, we always try to do something to stand for who they were."

"Seems your dad was a lot like ours, maybe we can celebrate who he was, his memory at what he would want to be remembered as," Fred suggested as Harry nodded liking the thought.

"My mum was not a prankster..."

George nodded, "Then we will mourn her another way. We lost our parents to the war…before we could get to know them. It hurts but sometimes its best to remember the good."

"Death eaters killed my parents," Harry admitted. "Because my dad was an auror and apposed them. It was senseless…and I don't know much about it. Just that they are gone. It sucks…I don't have people to tell me stories of them. I don't even know what they look like."

"Your dad was a prankster, lets honor his memory the way we would like to be honored," Fred said. "Same as we honor our dad."

Harry nodded giving them a weak smile, grateful they understood but not liking the reason they did. It made going into the day a bit easier. Planning and preparing made the anniversary none of them looked forward to, a bit less daunting.

PAGE BREAK

The three pranksters went into the great hall for breakfast taking a seat. Without anyone noticing, they waited for the perfect time to execute their prank. Glancing around, seeing the professors distracted, Harry nodded, and Fred lit the firework the fire work and set it down. After a short count down it flew out from under the table and exploded. A blast of color and loud enough to shake the walls. Everyone jumped shocked as they were showered in sparks that were harmless when it touched their skin. The three set off another five fireworks and waited while everyone relaxed for them to go off as they flew around the room turning into dragons, stars, lions, as they flew and exploded.

They stopped hiding what they were doing. They didn't care about getting into trouble. This was a day to celebrate the lives of the people they looked up to. The three pranksters just jumped up tossing more fireworks into the air as they lit up the room, they went off with bangs but after the initial scare they students just watched amazed. The magical fireworks spun and twirled, showered everyone in sparks, they lit up the room in a light show few had ever had the opportunity to see. Once they stopped going off, Harry tossed a specialty firework, they made specifically to honor his mother. A large Lily filled their air and rained down sparks causing the students to cheer.

McGonagall went towards them, ordering them to stop but they just through up one last firework and it caused everyone to freeze. There was no explosion, just a buzz as the firework left a trail that slowly turned into words.

In Memory of James Potter Fabian and Gideon Prewet

Harry tossed up another as that one faded and the fire work flew into the air spinning forming the words.

Pranksters forever

The smoke and lights faded leaving a completely silent great hall. Instead of yelling, McGonagall just covered her mouth biting back a gasp of shock. Percy looked to his brothers and clapped wiping his eyes. The rest of the students cheered though they half froze at the last one not sure how to react. The twins just grinned at their brother high fiving Harry as the last of the sparks slowly begun to fade.

McGonagall looked back at them trying to find her words, unable to bring herself to really punish them, not after the last message. They were so much like their parents. "No lighting fireworks in the great hall," she said finally as the three gave her a small smile. She however pulled the three standing boys into a hug shocking every student in the school especially the three of them. "They would be proud you are following in their footsteps."

"My mum would kick my arse," Harry offered finding his voice, giving her a shy grin. He couldn't remember anyone hugging him before. It was not the reaction he had been expecting.

McGonagall nodded, "Oh yes, then she would kick James's arse for corrupting you cursing his name and his maurauderness, No more firework shows in the great hall."

They said nothing just grinned as she went back to the head table. Percy gave the twins sad smiles as he approached them. "Dad and Uncle Gid would have been bragging about this for a long time. there is no better way to remember them."

The twins gave him a grin pulling him to sit down and no one said anything. When McGonagall walked past them again finding she had to leave, she was shocked to see the trail of lily's through the halls. She just gave them a look as all three raised their glasses to her. She nodded leaving.

"So, interesting breakfast," Fred said calmly before they all broke down laughing.

"How did you get away with that," Angelina asked shocked.

At the same time, she said that, Anthony Gold said who the hell are James potter and Fabian and Gideon Prewett.

The three looked at the two calmly though slightly annoyed, Gold at least should of known the Prewetts as Ron's best friend, "James Potters my dad," Harry stated.

"Fabian Prewett is our father while Gideon Prewett is his twin brother," Fred added shocking everyone since they thought Fred and George were Weasleys. "We were adopted, todays the anniversary of all three of their deaths. They were literally Hogwarts best pranksters in their own time. Also very proud Gryffindor's and so McGonagall got a bit emotional. I did not expect to be hugged."

"I expected detentions for a week," George added chuckling. The women clearly remembered their parents fondly. They couldn't remember seeing her emotional before. Maybe they clearly were her favorites.

Percy grinned at the two. Today he had no intention of arguing about rules and proper behavior. He was just happy to see the twins smiling. They took not getting the opportunity to know their parents hard, especially on Halloween. Today, to honor his father, he'd ignore the rules. "Dad always said he was Professor McGonagall's favorite, he also called her Aunt Minnie. James Potter would argue about it and they would start a prank war to prove who was better. They were friends despite the four-year age difference. I don't recognize the firework brand. I didn't know you could get them to make words."

The twins always loved when the more playful, happy go lucky side of their brother came out. "You wouldn't, we made them," Fred stated shocking Percy since that was extremely advanced magic. "The idea was Harrys, we had the rest of the fireworks made since we were... practicing making them let's say. We spent all last night on the last two. We had to charm the rocket to follow the word patterns while keeping the explosion from happening too soon. Looked cool though. Definitely our favorite of the ones that went off, we are calling them Word Rockets."

"Second favorite would be the lily, that was a lot of work," Harry stated, "I think even my mum would have liked that one. After she shouted about how irresponsible I was being."

"Or the Lion lights," Fred stated thinking of the ones that turned into the lions. "the Loonar Loop Luminators were cool too. Worked just like we hoped, looping around the room like that. The Spectrum Splashers went good too."

"Which one was the spectrum splashers," Percy asked his brothers ingeniousness always amazed him. They were capable of so much. He didn't think anyone realized just how brilliant they were.

"The ones that were all colored and rained down on us without burning," Harry returned grinning. "The twins are geniuses when they are interested in something. I don't have a bloody clue how they made that one. Its brilliant."

The twins bowed mockingly, "thank you, thank you dear apprentice, how kind of you to say. We must humbly add that you were the one who figured out how to charm the word rockets affectively."

"Impressive," Percy said surprising everyone who thought he would be angry over it. The twins weren't surprised knowing that there was a prankster somewhere in their brother. It was just the side of him he normally hid. He was the son of one of the infamous Prewett twins despite his rule following tendencies. "That is very advanced magic. If you put half as much effort into classes."

"Come on Perce we deserve EE's in everything at least."

He looked at the two suspiciously, "Why?"

"Because we exceed expectations every time we show up and do the work," Fred said cheekily.

"Lame joke Freddie," Harry mocked shaking his head disappointedly, Fred just grinned, tossing a roll at him. Harrys eyes widened an idea coming into his room. The chaos they could cause. "Do you think we should..."

The twins grinned realizing what he was suggesting. "Oh I really think we should, I mean we wanted to honor pranksters, what would it be without detention?"

Percy froze knowing exactly what they were thinking about as Fred dipped his hand in his bowl, "No you don't," he started but Fred shouted food fight and tossed a glob of oatmeal and within seconds the entire great hall was filled with fighting students. Everything from bread to eggs, sausages and bacon flying around the room. Percy glared at his brothers as he dodged a roll. He hesitated however, glancing at the chaos and seeing their eyes light up in excitement. He couldn't help but look at them grinning and laughing, deciding that today...today he would play along. Which he did as he dumped a bowl of oatmeal on Fred's head causing him to sputter shocked, before they could react, the prefect just tossed the juice from a glass on George.

Grinning Harry got the prefect with a container of syrup at the same time that George hit him with some scrambled eggs.

The group of them focusing more on each other than the rest of the house. McGonagall having cooled off some returned and froze at the chaos. Percy decided she was far too clean and so he tossed a pile of eggs at her. She gaped at him expecting it from everyone else but never the prefect. However, he just shot her the same grin she had saw on his father and uncle far too many times. He winked at her as the twins cheered.

She shook her head clear. Sent up a blast of noise with her wand. "ENOUGH!'' she shouted as everyone froze. "Minus 10 points for...never mind, Potter, Prewe...Weasley, Weasley and Weasley," she corrected though the three boys did not have any issue being called Prewett. "You will all clean the great hall. It will be finished by lunch understood."

The three pranksters saluted her while Percy nodded. The other students filed out while the twins clasped their brother on the shoulder and they all got to work cleaning. "Best way to mourn," Harry declared giving the twins grateful smiles.

"Never mourn, celebrate their lives," Fred said wiping off the table. "Percy, way to join the fun. Well done big brother."

He blushed as red as his hair but he couldn't stop smiling. Today had been a good day to forget the rules and he didn't regret it.

The defence professor came running into the room, clear panic and fear on his face. "T-troll...troll in the dungeons...thought you should know," Quirrel said before feinting.

The students started panicking but the three pranksters raised their hands in the air, "DIDNT DO IT," they declared loudly causing everyone to freeze.

"Not the time," Percy declared giving them looks.

Harry scoffed since at least it got people to stop screaming "Panicking's so much better, wouldn't it make more sense to sit here calmly since we are quite some way away from the bloody dungeons. Instead of running through the halls like lunatics. Besides seeing as we have been pulling crap all day, didn't do it sounds like a fair statement."

The teachers calmed themselves slightly. "Mr. Potter is right," Dumbledore said since having them stay in the great hall was a better idea, "Everyone have a seat, we will go deal with what happened."

Percy did a quick glance at the table. "We are missing students," Percy stated glancing at the tables, "Hermione granger 1st year and Elizabeth Grey 3rd year."

McGonagall nodded to him, "25 points for Gryffindor for keeping your heads. Everyone take a seat and we will find the students and the cause of this disruption. Prefects are in charge, " the teachers all left as they took a seat.

The room was filled with nervous chatter, but a few were amused by the Weasleys clear-headedness in the situation. "I didn't do it, really," Neville asked looking at them as they grinned nodding.

"And we most certainly didn't do it," Fred said.

"Trolls, extremely not funny," Harry added.

"Dressed as trolls funny," George said.

"Real trolls, not so much," Fred finished. Neville just shook his head at the group of them.

Everyone was relatively fine until Percy froze doing a count of Gryffindor's once again. "FUCK,'' he swore loudly shocking everyone. Prefect Percy never swore. "Bethany, did you see two Gryffindor's sneak out? We are missing two more first years. My brother Ronald and Anthony Gold."

The other prefects began looking for them quickly, panicking. "Percy, they would go after the troll," Fred stated knowing the two well enough that he knew they would be stupid enough to go after them for the glory of killing a Troll. "They are show offs who think they can do anything because Gold is some quidditch players kid."

With a growl Percy grabbed his wand, "Bethany watch them and make sure no one else decides to go troll hunting. They would have gone around to avoid the teachers, they could get hurt." He left before anyone could stop him.

The room was left speechless. The twins paled at the thought of their brother, effectively going troll hunting. "Fuck this, are we going after him or not," Harry asked the twins loudly.

They nodded pulling their wands. "No, you don't the Gryffindor," 7th year prefect, Bethany stated since they were supposed to keep everyone inside.

She wasn't expecting the group to look so terrifying when mad. Fred and George looked at her coldly, dark expressions on their faces, wands in their hand, "Percy's gone alone to stop two idiots from getting themselves killed, now we don't like our brother being in danger. So, fuck off," Fred said as the three left despite the prefects trying to stop them. Fred just set off a spare firework and the three escaped while they were distracted.

They ran through the halls and Fred pulled a parchment, the marauders map from their bag. "Damn they found the troll," Fred stated putting it away as they ran following his lead.

The trio got their just in time to see Percy pull Gold out of the way and get clipped by the troll's club. Fred blasted the club with a hex and it explode causing the troll to turn its attention to them. It was their intention however they weren't quite ready for it. "Now what," Harry asked backing up.

Fred and George hit it with every hex they knew nothing worked as Percy struggled to get his wand which had flown across the room. Harry hit the floor with an ice charm and the twins got the message hitting the thing with blasting hexes as it tripped and slipped and fell. Eventually it fell just right, bashing its head against the wall. It went still as it hit the ground.

Percy made his way over the rubble, holding his arm. Clearly in a lot of pain. "Perce," Fred hissed going to him worriedly.

"I'm okay," Percy choked out, gasping in pain.

"You're an idiot," Fred said.

"You weren't supposed to follow me," Percy said. "You could have gotten killed.

The twins scoffed, "Bloody hell, if we didn't come you would have been," George stated.

By this time, the Professors had managed to reach them, staring at the destruction in shock. "What is the meaning of this," McGonagall demanded. "Why are you not still in the great hall."

The reason they weren't still in the great hall, safe had the group of them seething. "Because dumb and dumber over there decided they could fight a full-grown mountain troll, Percy being in charged with their safety pulled a Gryffindor and went to keep them from being killed. We actually like our brother, funny that and went to keep him from getting killed," Fred stated unwilling to lie for the idiots who nearly got them all killed. He was exhausted and was leaning against the wall for support. He had used a lot of magic. "Harry well...he came with us cause he's our mate."

McGonagall looked to an injured Percy and went to check on his arm. "You will likely spend the night in the infirmary Mr. Weasley, it could have been worse. What were you thinking?"

"You all left the great hall and had no way of knowing they left. They were hunting the troll, Granger just got caught in the cross fire since she was in the lu," Percy replied, he was getting dizzy from the pain. "They are first years, not nearly knowledgeable enough about trolls to survive."

McGonagall looked angrily at the two first years who nearly gulped in fear at the look. "You both will have a month of detentions, minus 100 points Gryffindor, fifty each. Mr. Weasley, while endangering your life is not appropriate that will be 50 points for doing your duty protecting the other students. Mr. Weasley, me Weasley, 50 points for looking after your family, Mr. Potter, 25 points for...loyalty. All of you go to the infirmary, we will deal with this later."

"No one argued as they went to get checked out. Everyone but Percy and Granger was allowed to leave the infirmary though the others were taken to get lectured.

"Where is Percy," Bethany asked as all the Gryffindor's looked at those who returned.

Fred half growled not liking seeing his brother covered in blood, he was pretty sure he would be having nightmares with the sight of the trolls club hitting him. They may have fought often, but they were family. "Hit with a troll club pulling the golden git out of the way. He will spend the night in the infirmary because of the two idiots."

"He's okay though right," Bethany asked worriedly knowing the other boy from Prefect duties. It had been beyond brave of him to save the students.

George shrugged, "Broke his shoulder, might need skelegrow and he will probably have a scar from the lacerations, but he will live."

"How did he know who was missing so quickly," Elizabeth grey asked having been informed of everything. He had known she was gone and warned them in order to protect her.

Fred and George just gave her an odd look. Of course, Percy knew they were gone. He was Prefect Percy. "he's our brother, he has spent 13 years running after us and making sure we stay out of trouble. He is always watchful and aware. He's good at being a prefect. Honestly, he saved the gits lives. Shows the idiots who say he's not brave enough for Gryffindor, how many others would take a troll club for first years?"

The ones to have said that before cringed slightly. He wasn't much of a Gryffindor in most of their eyes. He followed the rules. Didn't seem adventurous at all. It had caused a lot of people to judge him as being sorted into the wrong house. Clearly, they had misjudged him. "Tired, Fred, George I'm sleeping in your dorms. Its quieter and don't have to put up with the idiots whining about losing 100 points and getting a month of detentions." Harry said the last part, knowing Gryffindor would get their own revenge against the group. They wouldn't have to even dirty their hands though he knew the twins would want revenge.

"100 points," Someone demanded horrified as the three pranksters just went to their room.

After returning to the common room with a hero's welcome, Percy got the three alone, "What did you tell everyone?"

The twins looked to him this time really confused, they couldn't remember doing anything wrong "what do you mean?"

"Why am I suddenly getting congratulated by everyone in the house and thanked and a bunch of crap."

Harry caught on, "We said the truth, that you were hit with a troll club saving golden git from the troll, Grey asked how you knew who was missing, twins said something about running after them. Mentioned how you were definitely a Gryffindor for taking on a troll for two first years. Guess they are seeing it. You're the hero for today, enjoy it."

"I did not do anything," Percy said shocked, not at all use to getting approval from the house, He even had people thank him after he took points. It was uncomfortable.

Fred rolled his eyes, "You ran after idiots, you try save idiots lives, you get hit with the troll club saving idiots, you risk life, you get to play hero."

"You three defeated it."

"You lost your wand and still probably would have did it. You fought while bleeding and with a broken shoulder. You were the one who literally saved their lives and was stupid enough to run off on your own. Next time be more careful," George said, "You are our brother, our only real family. We don't want to lose you."

Percy nodded to them giving them a quick hug. "Same goes to all three of you. No stupid stunts that will make me lose the only family I have."

Harry gave him a beaming smile, happy to be included in their little family.
