"What the shit?!" they exclaimed as they jumped away.
"What am I doing?" Harry gasped as he got up, staring at the ring he held in his hands and then to Susan who looked saddened by the reaction, "I-I, did I just, what-"
"Well I'm not sure Harry, but I believe this is what is known as payback," Percy said as he put a hand on Harry's shoulder, Percy looked down at the ring and smiled, "by the way, were you serious about the best man thing?"
"Bugger me," Cedric gasped, "remind me not piss him off." The others all nodded in affirmative.
"Jackson!" the twins yelled out, "what the hell mate?!"
Percy turned around, smiling, "what? Don't look at me. I didn't do anything at all. Guess deep down inside you two just wanted to jump each other's bones. Oh and speaking of bones, Susan, are you going to say yes?"
Susan and Harry turned similar shades of red as they stared open mouthed at Percy. The demigod grinned as he took off into the air, chuckling as he left the Great Hall, "I'm the Knight of Hogwarts bitches!"
At the teacher's table many of the professors were laughing at the gag. Sprout the loudest of them all. McGonagall saw this and cleared her throat, motioning towards Percy flying away.
Sprout sighed, "oh all right. That's a week's detention Mr. Jackson!"
"Totally worth it!" Percy cried out in joy as he flew away. Sprout didn't seem to mind though as she just chuckled it off along with the other.
McGonagall however sighed and turned to Albus, "I'm having the strangest feeling Albus," she admitted.
"Oh? What off Minerva?"
"I have the strangest feeling that for some reason I'm going to be very busy serving detentions for the next two years."
"Yes, I do suppose it feels like the Marauders have indeed returned to Hogwarts," Albus chuckled.
"Oh my Magic no!" the transfiguration professor yelled out in horror as the headmaster chuckled in mirth.
….
The prank had some...unforeseen consequences. Basically it was the declaration of all out war between the twins and Percy, Harry had begged to be left alone, and feeling pity for the boy Percy agreed.
Not a day went by when the twins and Percy hadn't tried to prank the other's to oblivion. It was the stuff of legends, the kind that would go down in Hogwarts history, well, maybe not the book, but definitely in the minds of the student's and teacher's.
It started with the twins counter prank on Percy, where the demigod was turned purple and inflated like a balloon. The twins then threw him around the castle like a giant rubber ball until finally sticking him to the ceiling of the Great Hall.
For that little insult Percy took a page out of the Stoll brothers' prank book. He put itching powder in all their clothing, and then charmed it so that every time Fred and George tried to scratch the itch away they would instead feel twice as itchy as before. It got so bad the twins ended up jumping into the Black Lake to wash the powder away.
They didn't have any breaks, sometime the pranks would come during class, like in Runes when Percy's stationary suddenly got up and started to dance. Or in potions, when the twins' cauldron exploded and turned their hair blonde like a Malfoy's.
And the weekends were worse. May magic have mercy on anyone who got in their way, even by accident.
Once the twins and Percy stumbled onto each other by accident on Sunday, immediately the entire corridor emptytied, even though they weren't planning any pranks at that time.
It lasted two glorious weeks, horrifying for the teachers though. Percy and the twins had detention everyday, until McGonagall had enough and put a stop to it by threatening to expel them all.
So sadly they did stop, though not until Percy got one last prank in by turning the twins into women, and then possessing with them for Colin to take a photo, a sort of poetic end to the war a similar prank started.
And so now two weeks later Percy found himself in Transfiguration finishing up a class assignment. He sighed as he finished the ten inches of parchment she asked for about human transfiguration, he really missed the pranking.
"Alright class that is enough for today, put away your parchments," McGonagall looked at Percy's hand rise up and sighed, "yes Mr. Jackson, if you have already finished your assignment you may submit it to me now."
As the class began to pack up though the professor spoke again, "oh and before I forget, I do have an announcement to make, as you all might not know, it is a tradition during every Triwizard tournament for a dance to be held. This is the Yule ball and it will happen on Christmas day at 8 pm. Only students at fourth year and above are allowed, I expect you all to have dates and for anyone who can't dance to learn how, very quickly."
Percy's blinked, "fuck me." The class broke into whispers as they all left the room, Percy took this chance to speak to the professor privately, "ah, professor, I was wondering-"
"-Yes Mr. Jackson, it is compulsory for Triwizard champions to attend the ball. No excuses."
Percy gulped under her glare, nodding quickly before leaving the classroom. He glided across the corridors, as he now so often did when thinking about something important.
It seemed his body dealt with stress better when he didn't have to focus on walking so damn much, and right now he was under a lot of stress.
'Dance?! I can't dance! Hell I'm the least graceful person in the whole goddamn world! I'm pretty sure if there's a Greek God of dancing he hates my guts! Wait...isn't Mr. D the God of parties...fuck! I'm screwed!'
