If Voldemort ever finds out that the prophecy is bunk, the Vaiseys are in deep yogurt.

Interesting prank.

Fred's was funny but not as clever as the previous ones as it didn't cause Harry enough embarrassment, though it did lead to the delightful idea of James giving Minerva roses.

What a great prank by Fred! This was really good. It not only gives us some insight into the mind of a teenage boy but shows another idea
of ways to prank our friends. Thank you for writing. pms

What a sneaky way to make sure Ginny remains unharmed... Voldemort and his minions sure are a bunch of dunces.

On the other hand, this prank was great. Far from producing the frustrations Fred probably planned, it gave Harry a day off from classes to explore his animagus form. What could be better than that?

Great chapter, as always. Thanks!

Interesting that Harry couldn't break Fred's prank . . . does that mean that Fred used some hertofore unknown mage lock that permited a spell only to be broken after a set time, or that Fred is actually stronger in his magic than he relizes or allows others to see?

Keep up the good work.

I just rewrote the chapter that deals with that. (The reveal chapter...coming soon)

Just a few more chapters and you will see.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Quite the fun prank. And relatively harmless as well. I enjoyed this chapter.

The creativity of your pranks has never ceased to amaze me. Only Ron's prank was a bit cliche, but then Ron would not be that original, would he?

I am sad that the Weasley boy prank contest has ended. But I look forward to the retribution.

Revenge is a dish best served hysterically.

I must apologize for not reviewing before now, as I have been following your story for the past few months and I am enjoying the progress. But something in this chapter caught my attention and as it is one of my few pet peeves, I felt that I must point it out. Your reference to the nursery rhyme "Ring a ring o’roses" as a metaphor for the black plague is not true, but rather an urban legend. There are many reasons it is impossible for this rhyme to refer to the black plague, the least of which is that the first instance of this rhyme being documented was in 1881, meaning that it would have existed unchanged for 500 years. Such a popular rhyme would have undoubtedly been recorded before then, and would have existed in a Middle English version. For more evidence I shall refer you to

this website

I apologize for the impromptu history lecture, but I thought I should do my part in attempting to kill this urban legend. Good work on your story and keep it up. I enjoy reading.

Thank you for the history lesson.   However, for the purposes of this story, the urban legend, true or false, is the one I am using, as it is told by Harry, who could have and probably would have heard the origin of the nursery rhyme the same as I did.   If I were quoting it as fact rather than one character telling another, it might be different, but when I researched the rhyme on the net, I found many accounts of it being aboutthe plague and verified my interpretation of it.   I even changed the phrasing from what is taught to nursery school kids in the United States to that sang by children in england and wales.

Just for curiosity, I will check out your link.

Thank you for your interest in my story.
