[32] Pumpkin Frogs

31st of October arrived at last. The previous two days had gone by swiftly amid Prong's fervent lectures and continuous regret on not getting to see the final outcome of the plan in action. I had also suggested an equally dumbfounding prank which has my logo *exclusively by Kat* stamped on it. Well, sort of. But you'll see when it all happens as I'm definitely not going to spoil all the fun and suspense. 

Anyways... Back to the current situation. After the routine classes, a Halloween feast was arranged and basically that's where all the prank rocket would be set off. It's kind of cruel really when I think about what would be the poor student's reactions but definitely this whole thing is too awesome to be put aside. 

We hadn't told anyone about this and by anyone I also mean Lily and Marlene. We had to like literally threaten Prongs to keep his mouth shut when around Evans but other than that everything kept quite under strictly sworn secrecy. 

Marlene is a great prankster herself and would have loved to join us but then she hates deathday parties (they freak her out) so we decided to rule her out on that. Besides Padfoot has some little problems going on with her, if you know what I mean, (which I'm pretty sure you won't, but hey I'm not elaborating because it takes time and in just a few minutes we have to set off the fireworks of pranks and we'd be awfully late if I kept explaining; whatever). So there. 

Padfoot met me in the common room when all others had gone off to to the feast. Just a few minutes earlier I had to force Prongs into leaving because he just won't stop with all the last minute advises. 

Anyhow, we had the Cloak and our wands (of course) as well as Moony's set of instructions so I hardly doubt that anything would go wrong. 

***

When we reached the Great Hall (okay, now that was extremely difficult: we had to keep silent and I had to occasionally kick Padfoot so he'd keep his laughter under control and then he had to stop himself from yelping out in pain and then he'd start making ridiculous faces and so I had to stop myself from laughing and we had to make sure not to bump into anything and pretty much blah blah blah), the feast had already begun. 

Great. 

There was this one corner which was quite isolated from the rest of the festivities and basically that's where we had to wait for a few minutes and then launch the prank craft. 

When the right time came and everyone was digging into the feast (basically too busy to notice anything out of the ordinary), Padfoot raised his wand and mumbled a spell. 

Well that spell unlocked the bat cages which Prongs and Wormtail had set up in one of the topmost pillars (how they managed to do it I have seriously no idea). A swarm of bats came swooping down. 

At first the students thought it was all part of the Halloween feast and started clapping but by the looks on the teacher's faces it practically showed that they were not expecting this. 

I saw McGonagall holding her head as if frustrated and whispering something to Headmaster Dumbledore. I can totally imagine what she'd be saying: "those boys, they never miss an occasion to prank. I'm definitely sure it's those four behind it." 

Dumbledore had a slight smile on his face as if he really was expecting this but in fact expecting much more. 

Padfoot shoved me a little, "you're forgetting something, Sugarplum." 

Oh please, not again. But yeah right it's my turn now. The major part is coming right up, Professor Dumbledore, sir. I pointed towards the pumpkins and mumbled the transfiguration charm I had read about in one of Moony's books. 

One by one the pumpkins exploded. And well they did not just explode. Out of them came a shower of frogs raining down on the poor people. Yup, that's my idea. Should have seen the look on everyone's faces. 

Well, I do feel sorry for the kids who were just eating a lovely meal and out of nowhere came a rainfall of frogs right over them. But it was worth it. 

I had taken the inspiration for this prank from a party piñata (and it had taken me two hours to explain to Prongs and Padfoot about what exactly were piñatas and how they worked). Well, you know, the things which hold sweets on a birthday party? And the children hit them with sticks and the sweets explode out of them? Yeah, that sort of piñatas. 

Only this time the piñatas were pumpkins and the sweets were frogs. 

They were not actual living breathing frogs (no, we're not that cruel) they were just some of the stuffing inside the pumpkin which I had transfigured into frogs. So yeah that's it. Amazing, right? So instead of Halloween it became Frogoween. 

"Bloody fantastic," Padfoot mumbled in awe. Oh yes I know that very well. Thank you very much. 

Then the last part; there were fireworks set in the pillars and one by one they set off (well it was Wormy who had sneaked out of the Deathday party to do his part) and all the fireworks made a hell of a noise. But when they cleared the showers of glittering stars formed the words: Happy Frogoween. 

And that's that. End of our awesome prank. Despite all the fuss and noise, the students did start clapping and laughing. All except the Slytherins who were furious to find frogs in their goblets. And honestly I do not feel sorry for that. Not at all.
