"Pssst!"
Harry looked up from his search and noticed that the sorting hat was trying to talk to him.
"I know it is you, young thief."
"Hey Franz." Harry said, though he still didn't remove the invisibility cloak in case monitoring charms were in place around the office. "You look terrible."
"Don't remind me." The sorting hat said. "A piece of advice, my young friend. Never allow Hagrid to wash your clothes."
"Is that what happened to you?" Harry grinned. He looked back at the bookcase and started looking for the book the old man needed.
"You need help?" The sorting hat asked. "I'll help you, if you get me out of here."
"Sorry Franz, that will only draw more attention to me." Harry said. "Maybe some other time, okay?
"I'll look forward to that." Franz said. "You better hurry, I sense Dumbledore is coming. You're quite lucky Fawkes is out hunting today, or else you'd be having a much harder time dealing with that over grown turkey. I'm pretty sure he'll help if you if he senses your intentions are good."
"You can sense if Dumbledore's coming?" Harry asked. He moved to the next shelf and started looking at the titles. The books in this shelf looked worn and old and he hoped that the book was in there.
"Of course, since I am connected to the wards." Franz said. "How else will the Headmaster know who is coming to visit him without me?"
"So that's the big secret... Ahah! I got it!" Harry said. The young thief pulled the old tome from the shelf and checked if it had the correct title. Satisfied, he carefully placed it in the pocket of his robes and pulled out Padma's trashy romance paperback pocketbook and transfigured it to look like the old tome. Though not quite perfect, he knew it would serve its purpose as a decoy and buy him time before the headmaster realized the book was stolen.
"You may want to look inside that drawer Harry." Franz said. "I think the envelope in there contains some information that I am sure you will find interesting."
"What is this supposed to be?" Harry stared at the collection of magazines that had scantily clad women on their glossy covers. "Penthouse?"
"Wrong drawer." The sorting hat chuckled. "That's Albus' private porn magazine collection. Pull the drawer on the left."
Harry followed the sorting hat's suggestions pulled out a piece of old parchment with a strange crest on it.
"That's your parent's will." Franz said. "Don't take it though. Just make a copy or else Albus will notice that it's gone."
Harry nodded and absently copied the contents of the will to a piece of blank parchment on the desk while his eyes continued to admire his parents' signatures.
"Kit!" Franz shouted, snapping the young thief from his reverie. "Albus is nearly here! You better get out fast!"
"Oh right! Thanks!" Harry said. He quickly looked around for a suitable souvenir for the twins. When a shiny bowl caught his eye, he made sure it had no tracking charms on it and vanished just as the door to the office burst open and a worried Headmaster walked in.
"Now that's a natural smell. Take a bath Albus, you stink." The sorting hat said.
"You got it?" Fred Weasley asked.
"Yeah..." Harry grinned. "I wasn't able to explore the office thoroughly since the headmaster arrived earlier than we expected."
"Where is it?" George asked. The three stood just outside the entrance, admiring the chaos inside the great hall. The smoke from the dung bombs began to disperse and the professors were now able to restore some sense of order among the students.
"I stored it in my primary safe house of course." Harry said. "I wouldn't want to be caught with that in my person."
"Good thinking." Fred said. "Harry those animation charms on the turkey was brilliant. How did you mange that? That's practically Newt Level!"
"Fred, this is Harry Potter. You think the defeater of You-Know-Who cannot do a simple newt level animation charm?" George grinned as he patted Harry's shoulder. "I'm so proud... our little sex god thief is growing up."
"I'm no sex God." Harry muttered, causing the twins to laugh. "Anyway good job guys, and thank Lee for me will you?"
"I'll pass it along" Fred said. "He used his entire supply of Dung bombs so that we can pull this one off."
"We're not out of the woods yet." George said. He pointed at the great hall and saw the four furious heads of houses walking towards them.
"Crap." Fred said. "We should have hid away instead of observing the prank. But that won't work anyway and we need Harry here with us so that they can't connect us to our real mission. They will eventually blame us for this, like they always do."
"Who knows, maybe we will get off lightly this time. We have Harry Potter with us after all." George whispered. "I'm sure they'll show some kindness."
"You three, in my office. Now!" McGonagall hissed.
"Kindness my ass." Fred grumbled.
"Shut it Fred." His twin said. They had been cleaning the Great hall for six hours straight while the other students slept peacefully after they ate their meals at their respective common rooms. "I never saw McGonagall mad like that."
"Apparently, she's disappointed at me." Harry said.
"Quiet you three!" Filch snapped. "You little rascals are only halfway done. There's much more to do."
The three pranksters chuckled and continued working and after half an hour they heard Filch snoring as the caretaker slept sitting in a chair.
"It's too bad the McGonagall took our wands." Fred whispered. "We could have done this in a jiffy."
"I could go and get it, but I haven't been to her office yet." Harry said.
"At last! Dobby has finally found the Great Harry Potter sir!"
Fred and George looked at the house elf that suddenly materialized in front of them. Unlike the Hogwarts elves, its clothes were worn and dirty and it was obvious its master did not take good care of it.
