Chapter 58: Halfway through the Pranks

After challenging the twin Edwin couldn't go a day without getting a prank done on him, they started simply at first tripping jinxes, using an enchanted note that won't go away or they would borrow a musical instrument and charm it to play as it followed behind Edwin, teachers would stop the instrument from following Edwin but when they asked who did it he would just shrug.

When Edwin decided to start pranking them back he asked Dippy for help and the house help was more than happy to give it , With Dippy's help, Edwin could easily make the twins take some potion without knowing it the first potion that they twin took was a hair growing and the very next day the twin entered the grand hall with long Blond hair that reached the floor and it couldn't be cut as it would regrow within the hour.

The reason for their hair regrowing at a fast rate is because the potion is considered to be a failed attempt in any potion maker's eyes but for Edwin it was a success, as he purposely made the potion that way and added a color-changing aspect to use the potion as a prank.

Soon Halloween came and the castle was once again decorated to suit the occasion, Edwin is sitting at the Slytherin with a Gryffindor emblem floating over his head table enjoying pumpkin when Isabella interrupted him " Do you need any help with the twins "

" Nah I can handle them " Edwin replied

" well we all can clearly see that, " Isabella said Sarcastically looking at the emblem above Edwin's head

" Their hair is back to normal...what do you have planned next," Theodore asked

" Wait for it " Edwin stated as he continues to eat his pie and after a few moments the was an explosion at the Gryffindor table and the twin with whoever they were sitting near then got covered with pie.

" exploding pie " Daphne stated " not bad "

With lunch finish Edwin was headed to the room of requirement to continue testing the prototype, Edwin took a different path than he normally would to avoid running into the twins but as he was walking Edwin remembered he couldn't hide from the twins as they have an object some that can track his ever move.

" The marauder map " Edwin mutter to himself as he stopped walking " I made a happy accident "

Edwin thought of a way to use the Prank challenge to his advantage but the only things he wasn't sure of is how the twins would react; It was worth the try so Edwin changed his destination to his room.

When he arrived at his room Ivan was there laying down on his bed reading muggle books that Edwin didn't have in his Hogwarts room " where did you get that " Edwin asked

" from your room... not this one the one in London," Ivan said continue reading the book " you should find a better place for the vanishing cabinet but it's brilliant that you to connected it in your other bedroom "

" How did you find it, " Edwin asked taking a seat

" was lookin' for a place to put my clothes and I happen to find an empty closet," Ivan said putting down the book " But to my surprise, the clothes were gone when I went back for it... "

" Edwin you should put clothes on both ends of the cabinet so it won't look suspicious even if the clothes would keep switching... yes I do have clothes I got them from the Severus," Ivan said taking out some clothes from an empty drawer " it took me a while to get him to buy them for me "

" Ivan I need your help," Edwin said getting to the point " it will be dangerous "

" Does this have anything to do with you being a different color almost everyday last week " Ivan hissed " Just say the word and they'll be in the hospital with a few mean scratches and a terrible case of the runs... I will just need some potion ingredients fo- "

" It would be funny to see but no " Edwin replied with a smirk " you just have to trust me on this it might expose you to other people "

" I'll do it," Ivan said getting up from the bed " what do you need "

" Just follow me around for a few days," Edwin said knowing that he couldn't just walking up to the twin and ask for the map just as yet as it was plan B if getting their attention didn't work.

With Ivan following Edwin as Onyx, the twins stilled pulled pranks through Halloween mostly try to scare Edwin when Edwin's birthday came around the twin present to him was a day off from their pranks.

As Edwin was about to give on the twins noticing and just say that he's a seer they walked up towards him " Edwin who is Ivan Vaclav to you " the twin asks pulling Edwin along for a walk with them.

" He's my father," Edwin said to the twin loud enough for only them to hear

" You're kidding me," George said and Fred continue, " we thought he would be your uncle or a cousin "

" How did you two find out," Edwin asked and the twin explained what the marauder map is and what it can do Edwin tried his best to be surprised and grabbed them " We have to go to professor Snape "

" What no have you lost your bloody mind " the twins shout together trying to lose Edwin's grip on them.

" There is something bigger going on here," Edwin said pushing the twins " you don't have to say you got the map just speak in riddles "

With lots of convincing, Edwin got the twin to agreed to meet with Snape and the other who knows about Peter which included Remus,Edwin was shocked when he found out that it was Snape who told Remus it seems that the meeting with Lilly allowed him to let go of some light grudges that he had with Remus.
