Hadrian's POV
"Do you want us to try and distract you?" Fred asked.
I nodded.
"What about we talk about all the pranks we tried
to pull on Dumbledore and McGonagall?" George asked.
I smiled, but I think it looked painful, for my twins
just hugged me for a while.
"When we were in first year, we observed the
old man. All he would do was come to the hall, eat, go back to his office, do
whatever he wanted, back to the hall to eat, back to office again, and then
again to hall to eat, and then to his quarters to sleep."
"So, we decided to prank him slowly. He could not
guess what would happen."
"It was bloody hilarious, I tell you. We pleaded
with the elves to mix a few ingredients into his food every meal, that by the
end of dinner, he looked more colorful and bright than the robes he wore. His
hair was neon green, and his skin had light blue, yellow, and white dots."
"The hair color was my idea."
"The skin color idea was mine, though. He looked
perfect. His skin and hair were in perfect contrast." My twins said.
I would be rolling on the ground, clutching my stomach
and laughing if it was not for the pain I was in.
I smiled at them and tried to make a thumbs up sign, but
I failed, though my twins understood what I wanted to do and smiled back at me.
"So that was your doing?" Dad asked.
The twins nodded, gulping, expecting an earful.
Dad started to laugh hysterically. "By Merlin's
beard, that was one of the most brilliant plans executed on the coot." He
said between his laughing.
All of stared at him.
When he calmed down enough to sense that all of us, Fred,
George, Tom, and I, were staring at him, "What?!" He asked.
"You praised us." My twins said.
Dad looked at them for a while. "I can also
compliment when I like something." He mumbled.
"Thank you." My twins said,
smiling at him.
Tom was fidgeting. He looked like he wanted to sit beside
dad or opposite him and hold me.
Fred and George also seemed to have noticed it.
"You can grab the chair and sit by the bed."
Fred said.
"We know you want to sit on the bed, but it is a
little too early for that. We still are wary of you. You do have a lot of
history of trying to hurt Hades and being successful in it." George
said.
Tom grabbed the chair beside the table and placed it
beside the bed and sat.
"It was during our second year, I presume, that
we pranked Minerva McGonagall successfully."
"She took off a hundred points off her own house
for it because Gryffindors were laughing the hardest and loudest among the four
houses." My twins said.
"Don't tell me you were the reason she was meowing
after every sentence for a week?" Dad asked.
The twins gave a devious smile.
"My Slytherins had the time of their week thanks to
that prank." Dad said, as he smiled at Fred and George.
"Did you like any pranks we did, Hades?"
My twins asked.
I nodded.
"A few?" They asked. I shook my
head. "Most of them?" I nodded.
"Ah! So you liked the ones that were not on
you?" They asked with a smile. I nodded.
"Did you ever plan to prank me?" Dad asked.
Fred nodded. "We tried." He said.
"You nullified or escaped all the pranks we
planned." George said.
Dad gave a small smile.
The more they talked about their pranks, the more fun
they had. Soon, I was going back to sleep, thanks to their distraction.
