Why Fred and George Will Never Eavesdrop Again ...

“Let me see Remus?” Snape tried his best voice to get the wolf to give up his treasure.

“Oh, all right already.” Lupin handed over his cell phone.

The three wizards had effectively dodged Molly’s wrath by re-directing to her only daughter and then dived for cover in Sirius’ room.

“So it can make the irritating noise and vibrate?” Snape asked as he fondled the smooth black case.

“Mmm hmmm.” Remus answered, his mouth full of chocolate kisses once again.

“And it doesn’t matter where you put it? It will still vibrate?” Snape asked with an evil gleam in his eye?

“Nope. As long as the battery thingy is full, it vibrates.”

“What are you thinking of doing with that Snape?” Sirius asked with his eyes wide.

“I think we could have an immense amount of fun with this vibrating toy.” Snape stated firmly.

Molly Weasley blushed a fiery red, spinning on one heel to swiftly return to her abandoned husband. I can wait until tomorrow to discuss Ginny’s behavior.

“My lord?” Fenrir asked for recognition from bended knee.

“Yes Fenrir.” He-who-must-not-be-named flicked a lazy, bored finger at the werewolf.

“I found something interesting for you.” He sniveled.

“Truly?” Voldemort peered down off his throne.

“Yes, my lord, here. Surely it must be some sort of dark magic container?”

Fenrir handed over the slim black cell phone to Voldemort’s clutches. Voldemort jumped out of the chair dropping the damnable thing on the floor, watching in horror as it played a disturbing little tune, and vibrated right out of his hand.

“CRUCIO!” He bellowed, wand pointed at the thing still moving on the floor. It continued to beep melodically and rattled around as if nothing ever happened.

“AVADA KEDAVRA!” Still nothing stopped the irritatingly sweet little melody emitting from the creature thing.

“What in the nine hells?” Voldemort swore, bending down to pick it up, turning it over and around studying it very closely.

“I’ll have to keep this Greyback. It warrants further study.”

********

“What song did you pick for the tone-ring?” Snape asked as he laughed so hard he snorted.

“A muggle children’s song.” Remus answered smugly.

“Sing it Moony!” Sirius commanded.

“Noooo …” Moony whined.

“Aw c’mon Moony?” Sirius continued to wheedle and plead, tickling his old friend mercilessly.

Gales of laughter rolled from Black’s room just as Minerva raised a fist to knock on the door, Albus’ words still ringing through her mind. “Two Gryffindors, only one Slytherin. Take care of it Minnie.”

“I love you, you love me … we’re a happy fa-ma-lee with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you …”

Minerva neatly, precisely and primly executed an about face on one heel, tip toeing down the hall not to be heard.

“Hey let’s prank call Voldemort!” Sirius offered excitedly.

“Should be a good time.” Snape added, “He should just be about to fall asleep.”

“You guys go ahead. I want to watch the Pensieve again.” Moony deferred from the prank. “I still can’t believe he tried to Kedavra a cell phone.”

*******

Not too far away in and undisclosed location, Voldemort had just gotten himself all comfy for bedtime when the annoying little song went off and the tiny black thing started to vibrate in the pocket of his pajamas. He jumped off the bed, pulling the offending object from his pocket. Tiny little words appeared in the grayish strip on the front. “Albus Dumbledore?” He hissed out loud.

“Aaarrrggghhh. Just leave me alone you old fool!” The dark lord hollered, tossing the object carelessly across the room. It landed softly and safely on a couch.

******

“You sent him a text message?” Remus grumbled.

“Yep, made it say ‘Albus Dumbledore’.” Black bragged.

“Oh yay for me.” Snape griped, gripping his arm tightly. “Don’t wait up for this pensieve.” He added sliding from the room.

Okay, yell at nonentity - I hadn’t thought of evil things to do with the cell phone before that review! Thanks for reading, I think. Pitt
