Special Note, March 6, 2006: This story is currently undergoing massive editing. I have taken down most of its chapters to do this. I WILL be putting them back up, slowly but surely. Thank you to all reviewers, and sorry to all those who were upset by my tearing down of the story. I tried to e-mail everyone who sent me a PM, e-mail, or confused review, but I don't think I succeeded. Again, I'm very sorry. Hopefully the story has improved, however. Anyone who has read it before will probably not need to reread it; the basic plot remains the same.
The Prank War
Author's Notes: This story takes place during seventh year for the trio and will contain spoilers. It does use things from the fifth book, but I for one am sad to see Sirius go and am going to keep him alive. There will probably be a bit of sexual suggestiveness in here, as well as swearing, but most of it's going to be plain old fun.
Several things are different from the books in this story, in addition to Sirius still being alive. (Please, do not ask me for an explanation as to how he escaped the Department of Mysteries. An AU fic where Sirius is alive means, at least in this case, that Sirius never died in my world.) Other differences include that McGonagall is younger, only a year or two older than the Marauders (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew); both Harry and Ron are prefects; and Voldemort is dead, as are Lucius Malfoy and the majority of the Death Eaters. I'll try and remember to stick a warning in an author's note if I change anything else along the way. Nothing from HBP—any revelations, such as Snape being a half-blood and being evil, etc.—will be used, unless otherwise noted in author's notes.
