James, Remus, Sirus, and Peter were sitting in the common room debating on who to prank next. They could put out cat toys in McGongall's office, or dye Snivilus's hair pink...

Their epic brain storm was interrupted by to ginger twins falling out of a swirling portal.

"Fred," where are we, one asked.

"I have no idea," 'Fred' said. Then they saw the four.

"Sirus!" The twins cried. "Professer Lupin! Harry! Wait, Harry?"

"Who are you?" James asked.

"Nope, not Harry," they agreed.

"Wha- who's Harry?" Sirus asked.

"Wait, I'm a Professer?" Remus asked.

"Well that's not surprising, Moony," James scoffed.

"Wait-"

"Moony?"

The four were silent.

"You're-"

"The Mauradors!"

"Maybe..."

George whipped out his video camera.

"You NEED to help us make our Guide to Pranking. Ya know, for the next generation."

"Why would we do that?" Peter whimpered.

George and Fred narrowed their eyes.

"Wait, we're in the past?" George asked. Fred nodded.

"Seems so." So neither of them thought it was particularly good to change the past, so they kept quite. George flipped on the video camera.

~~~~~~~~~

George: I'm Gred

Fred: And I'm Forge

Remus: *whispering* what kind of names are those?

Gred and Forge: AND THIS IS: THE MAURADOR'S GUIDE TO PRANKING!!!

George: To keep things civil, I present to you: Prongs (yes Harry Prongs), Padfoot, Moony... And Wormtail.

Sirius: How do you know those names?

Fred: They're here to show you all they know about the awesome pranking they do!

George: Ready guys!?

*crickets*

George: GREAT ENTHUSIASM

Fred: So what are the do's and don'ts' of pranking?

James and Sirus: Well since you asked... *conjures a whiteboard with points, and two stick pointer thingys*

James: DO play on your victim's weaknesses and strengths.

Sirius: Mostly weaknesses.

James: DO set practical jokes out to distract from a prank.

Peter: Has helped on many occasions.

George: Shut up we're asking the Mauradors.

Peter: I AM a Maurador.

George: I thought you were going to shut up.

James: DO feel free to use sticky and gross substances.

Sirius: And make sure they don't backfire

James: AAAAAAND DO make sure your in shape to run like heck.

Sirius: DO NOT get caught.

Remus: *scoffs in the background* obviously.

Sirius: DO NOT bump into anyone while running away.

Remus: Haven't we learned that lesson.

Sirius: DO NOT accidentally have your back up plan blocked

James: You forgot to tell them they always need a back up plan.

Sirius: actually YOU forgot to tell them.

James: Whatever.

Sirius: Ok, AAAAAAND FINALLY DO NOT let the number of witnesses when your pulling the actual prank get too high.

Remus: When you have the side effects of the prank come with the actual humiliation, the more the merrier.

Fred: Wow.

George: Yup.

Fred: Would you like to give our viewers a demonstration?

*The Mauradors are all grinning evily*

James: OF COURSE!!!

-----------------------

*The Mauradors + Gred and Forge are walking through the forbidden forest*

James: Just a little farther and we'll be there.

George: Why are we-

Fred: -In the forest

Sirius: Because that's where we are going to prank someone.

Remus: Now stay right there, we have to make sure the coast is clear.

*James, Sirius, and Remus leave the video field of the camera*

Fred: *pulls out a trick snackbox* hey Wormtail, want one?

Peter: Aww thank you *takes a Puking Patail*

*Peter runs off scene and loud wrenching sounds are heard*

George: *high fives Fred* That one was for you Harry*

*a loud pop sound is emitted and a bucket of slime is dumped on the twins*

*Remus, James, and Sirius appear, cackling*

Fred: WHAT WAS THAT!?

Remus: You told us to prank someone?

Fred: You little-

George: *stops Fred and takes the snackbox from him* now, now. We should appreciated that they pranked us. It's not every day you get pranked by the masters.

*Golden Trio senior looks proud*

George: And to show our appreciation, * holds out snackbox* here is some candy?

*Prongs, Moony, and Padfoot grab Nosebleed Nougets*

James: This is really- why is my face wet?

Sirius: Why is there blood on my face.

*Gred and Forge start laughing manically as the three panic, blood gushing out of their noses*

Fred: *wipes tears out of his eyes* sorry 'bout that. Eat the other half and your noses should return back to normal.

*The Three eat the healing side*

James: I have to admit that was a pretty good prank.

George: Why thank you!

Remus: Hey where's Pe-I mean Wormtail?

Fred: Oh he's, somewhere around here.

Remus: *sighs* we better get looking

*bushes rattle loudly off screen*

Sirius: What was that?

*something emerges from the bushes and startles the group*

Fred: What is THAT?!

George: Holy-!!!!

*the camera is dropped, and the last thing in view is a ginormous foot, then the screen goes black*
