ACT ONE SCENE THREE
[Twin's Dorm Room]
FRED
Where has thou been, mate?
GEORGE
Torturing Slytherin snakes.
Brother of mine, where you?
FRED
Giving Percy his rightful dues.
GEORGE
Do tell! Oh do tell!
Didst thou got the git well?
FRED
That lout's been a prat forevermore,
A fact that I simply cannot ignore.
'Why don't you give me a break?' Quote I,
'This, for thy own good.' Pompous one hath cried.
So stink sap in his cologne I spiked,
This I believe Penelope wouldst not like.
But a single prank is such a bore,
I'll need more and more and more.
GEORGE
His tongue, to his nose, I'll bind.
FRED
Thou'rt so kind.
GEORGE
Oh, I can think of another,
FRED
Our only worry is that he'll tell mother.
To her waiting ears, our activities doth he blows,
And thus our pranks she now knows.
But a solution have I,
A way for us to defy.
GEORGE
Tell me, Tell me!
FRED
This quill here you see?
It is my own innovation,
My spelling sensation.
GEORGE
I like the sound of it. What does it do?
FRED
Messes up one's spelling whilst writer not have a clue.
GEORGE
Hush, I hear foot falls like rhythmic drums...
That prickly prick Percy, doth comes.
[Enter Percy]
PERCY
Fred! You think this is funny?
GEORGE
I just saw Penelope, her nose's all runny.
PERCY
Tell me how to wash this scent off.
FRED
In a few days, it will eventually wear off.
PERCY
What? What did you use, you moron?
FRED
Stink sap flown all the way from Yukon.
GEORGE
A place known for being cold and wet.
BOTH TWINS
A place to buy the stinkest stick sap, we could get.
PERCY
I swear, I'll get you both for this one,
This is the last time you gits will have your fun.
[Exit Percy]
GEORGE
Great business we must wrought ere noon:
Upon the corner of the moon
FRED
What do you have there?
GEORGE
A strand of Percy's hair
Into a vial of love potion goes this,
Off to cause a sensation of pure bliss.
To be poured into a bottle of rat tonic,
We then sit back to watch our magic.
FRED
Rats shall trail him wherever he go,
Come sun, come rain, him they'll follow.
Ah yes, the Pied Piper he will be.
A fitting prank, especially for Percy.
[Dobby and two other House Elves apparates in]
WOZZY
Out of the kitchen we do not desire to go:
DOBBY
Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no.
CULLY
Why give us this cruel a fate?
Work we need, this I state.
DOBBY
And I do care for thee: therefore, bear with me;
I'll leave Fred and George to attend to thee.
BOTH TWINS
You need not worry,
Jobs we have aplenty!
DOBBY
I cannot thank you both enough,
Do give plenty of tasks to my staff.
[Exits Dobby]
CULLY
Plenty of work is all Cully asks
WOZZY
We'll be willing to do any tasks
FRED
Eager beavers they are.
GEORGE
These two will take us far.
BOTH TWINS
Elves, you will be helping us have some fun,
There are plenty that needs to be done.
Come night and come day,
Laughter we will bring to play.
Pranks are not as easy as they seem,
Preparation is required from our team.
BOTH ELVES
We are your willing workers and servants.
We will try to have things done in an instant.
We are not afraid of toil and labour,
Moreover, these things we savour.
FRED
Gred, I see the start of a promising realtionship
GEORGE
Partnership my dear Forge, partnership.
BOTH TWINS
Twins and Elves hand in hand,
BOTH ELVES
We will do as thou dost command.
FRED
All of Hogwarts beware,
We are now more than a pair.
GEORGE
So much pranks to set.
Our chaos quota to be met.
[A figure appears by the shadows and listens in]
PERCY
Brothers, my brothers,
Lewd pair of pranksters.
You louts, I will stop.
Your plans will surely flop.
Fred and George Weasley,
You have made an enemy...
I wait quietly now, for security
Is thy chiefest enemy.

A/N: I know it's been so long since I updated. Sorry I've been concentrating on my Quarterly and Novel Length. But since I've been given comments by readers on how much they've enjoyed this. I've decided to write a quick update. I've forgotten how much fun senseless rhyming is. ^_^
Fred and George's lines were inspired from: The Weird Sisters' lines from Macbeth Act 3 Scene 5;
Percy's last two lines were derived from Macbeth Act 1 Scene 3
House Elves' exchange was massacred from Titania's lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3 Scene 1
