[THE BEST PRANK EVER]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in awhile been busy with school and sports and stuff. So five years later I still haven't gotten over Fred's death, and this is one called the Best Prank Ever because I want Fred to live. Thanks for reading!

George stared down at his brother's coffin, an ornate, solid-golden work of beauty, melted down Galleons they had earned together.

Mrs. Weasley stood next to him, her arm around Ginny. Percy was on his other side, Mr. Weasley, Charlie, and Bill on the opposite side of the coffin. Ron and Hermione were standing near the end, holding hands, and Harry stood back a bit. Mrs. Weasley gestured him over and he went next to Ron and Hermione.

"We'll miss you, Fred," Ginny whispered, and then slipped out of Mum's arms. She, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left.

Then Mrs. Weasley bursted into tears yet again. Mr. Weasley led her away as she said goodbye through sobs.

"Can you-" George choked out. "Can you give me a minute to myself?"

Bill nodded, and he, Charlie, and Percy gave their final goodbyes. They walked away, out of the field, and Apparated to home, leaving George to bury the coffin in the ground.

George wiped a tear from his face-and grinned.

"Alohomora," George whispered, unlocking the coffin. There is his brother's body, looking so vulnerable, his wand next to him. George cleared his throat.

Fred opened one eye.

"Is it safe?" he hissed.

"Yup," George said, grinning.

Fred sat up, stretching.

"Being dead was not fun," he told George.

"I can't believe it actually worked," George said, laughing, as he helped his twin out of the coffin.

"Such a shame to bury something so pretty," Fred said wistfully. "Promise to bury me in it when I actually die."

"Deal," George said. "I can't wait to see their faces."

"Refresh my memory," Fred said. "How are we going to do it?"

"I'll walk into the house saying a miracle had happened. Then you walk in," George told him as they walked towards the Burrow in the distance.

"Okay," said Fred. "I got it."

"Or we could walk in together and give them a heart attack," George suggested.

"Even better," Fred grinned. George hugged his brother-he only had to pretend to be dead for a day.

"This is going to be the best prank ever," George said.

The twins Apparated back to the Burrow together. They could see light coming from the kitchen and knew the family was sitting, waiting for George.

"I'm back!" George called into the house. Everyone got up to greet him-and then stopped short.

"F-F-Fred?" Mrs. Weasley gasped, and promptly burst into tears.

"Do not fear!" Fred called. "I am simply a ghost! See, I go right through you!" He punched George in the arm.

"Ow!" George said.

Mrs. Weasley threw her arms around Fred.

"You're alive!" she cried.

"Yup," he said, grinning at the looks of disbelief and shock on the faces of the others.

George burst out laughing at the looks on their faces. "Priceless," he said to himself.

Mrs. Weasley ran to hug Fred, and the others quickly followed.

"This was our best prank ever," Fred announced.

"Prank?" Bill said. "But-"

"Prank," George confirmed. "And boy, was it a good one."

But none of them but the twins and Percy knew that Percy had shoved Fred out of harm's way to try and redeem himself, and Percy now sat uncomfortably, clutching his side, where a gaping wound once sat. A wound quickly fixed by George when he found out, and when they went back to Fred's body, found him breathing. George had quickly whispered the plan into Fred's ear, and Fred had given a single, barely noticeable nod. George and Percy nodded at each other while the others marveled at Fred's 'miracle'. It seemed that none of them would ever know the truth, that Percy willingly sacrificed himself for his brother.

And then, as they all sat down for dinner, George stood up. Fred did, too. And they told the tale of their best prank ever. Everyone gave Percy a big round of applause, and Percy's face turned the same shade as his hair.

"And don't worry about forgetting our names, Mum," Fred told Mrs. Weasley. "I'm the one that died and he's the one without an ear."

"Yes," George added, grinning at his now-alive twin brother. "We know we're called Gred and Forge."
