The Anger .

"Fred and George Weasley, at your service," said the other before both dropped into a simultaneous courtly bow.

"Well, I have a prank I'm currently planning, and getting the props for, and I wanted to make sure we don't - clash."

"Oh?" asked one.

"Any way we can assist?" asked the other.

"I don't know," replied Harry, honestly. "What I've done is ordered a costume from a fancy dress shop. It's a character from a set of movies that came out about a decade ago. It's of a character that out-Snape's Snape."

"Oh, really?" asked the first.

"And how can we help?" asked the second.

"I want to know if either of you know what Charms Snape uses to make his cloak billow like that," said Harry.

"There's supposed to be a book out that has a whole list of easy charms to make things happen to your clothes and appearance," said the second.

"We were going to save up to buy it," said the first.

"It's not stock, but Flourish & Blotts are supposed to be able to get it for you," said the second. "Do you, perchance, know the name of this book?" asked Harry.

"'Simple Cantrips for Appearances Sake'," said the two in unison.

"Alright," said Harry. "I'll order two copies. One for me and one for you two."

The twins looked at each other and grinned. "You'd do that..." said the first.

"For us?" asked the second.

"Think of it as - two things coming together as one," replied Harry. "First, it's a bribe so you won't target me or my group of friends with your pranks. Second, I may want to join you two rapscallions or ask you to join me, in future pranks."

"Harry Potter..."

"... wants to join us..." "in the noble art of pranking!" they said before saying in unison, "Deal!"

"Alright, then," said Harry with a bit of a nod to them both. "I've got some ordering of books to do"

He started to walk away, before turning back. He said, "If there are any other books you're interested in acquiring that may assist in the 'noble art of pranking', let me know." Then left.

Harry headed for the Ravenclaw tower while the twins started talking rapidly together. Clearly, they would soon be approaching him with a list of books they thought might prove useful.

Harry received both copies of the book Simple Cantrips for Appearances Sake, on Friday morning's mail drop. The others of The Seven wanted to know what it was and why he ordered two. "One's for the Weasley twins," he replied. "They're the one's who recommended it to me. Plus, it's partly a bribe paid to them to save us from being directly pranked by them when they finally get going again."

Hermione already had one of the books open before her on the table, scanning through it. "I don't get it," she said. "They're just little things you can do as glamours and the like."

Harry nodded and said, "Yes. And, according to the twins, there's a cantrip in there that mimics the billowing cape trick Snape has going on."

"These are supposed to be useful for when you're getting your photograph taken," said Hermione. "There's ones here for straightening curly hair, curling straight hair, giving you that glint of light off your teeth, brightening your eyes, making your eyes sparkle, pressing your clothes free of wrinkles, giving your hair that tousled look - heaps."

"Thinking about getting your photograph taken, Potter?" asked Daphne with that little smirk of which Harry was so fond.

Looking through the other copy of the book, Harry replied, "Nope. I just want to be able to do that billowing cape thing Snape does. But the eye twinkle thing sounds suspiciously Dumbledorish, too. As for the hair things - Hermione? Interested?"

"Hmmm?" asked their bushy haired friend. "Oh, yes. But it's very short term, though. It looks like all of them are. After all, how long does it take to take a photograph?"

"There's a better option than short term cantrips, Hermione," said Tracey. "I have some shampoo and conditioner that settles down hair that's otherwise untameable." "I..." stuttered Hermione. "Can you tell me where I can get some, please?"

It was clear to all, then, Hermione really didn't like the way her hair was bushy.

"I'll loan you some," said Tracey, clearly feeling for her friend. "But, it's better to have some shampoo and conditioner made just for you. It works better that way."

"How - how do I get it made," asked Hermione.

Tracey felt for her friend and said, "I'll get the appropriate order forms. I'll also need a decent snip of your hair - probably from underneath the top layers - to send in with the order. The potioneers need the hair to make sure they brew a batch that's keyed to you." "Thank you," said Hermione with a bit of watery eye action. "I searched high and low for a shampoo and conditioner near where I live that would tame this mess; but, nothing worked."

"That's because the way your hair reacts has more to do with your magic than much else," said Hannah. "That's why you need magical shampoo and conditioner."

Harry perked up on hearing that and said, "Really? Mine, too?"

"Don't you dare, Potter," Daphne half-growled. "I happen to like the tousled look your hair always has."

Looking towards his betrothed, Harry said, "But, what about when I need to spiffy up? You know, formal occasions?"

"Then we shall see about getting you your own special shampoo for those occasions," replied Daphne using her fingers to run through his hair. "Or, we can perhaps use the cantrip you've found that straightens hair temporarily."

Harry couldn't respond as his betrothed's fingers, where they were moving through his hair and scraping across his scalp, were giving him tingles all over. He had goosebumps. It felt - good.

After Daphne stopped what she was doing to him, Harry picked up one of the books and walked over to the Gryffindor table. He took seat in a spare spot immediately opposite the twins and handed them the book.

"As promised," said Harry. "Your book. Use it well, and wisely."

Both twins eagerly reached out for the book. "Thank you, oh great and powerful one," said one.

"Truly, a gift of the ages," said the other.
