Pranks by Peeves
Chapter 1
Here are some outrageous pranks by Peeves, the poltergeist:
-First he got his revenge on the kitchens, wreaking ‘havoc and mayhem’ on the house-elves by throwing pots, pans and soup everywhere. And then he attacked the feast itself. Floating 20 feet in the air, he lobbed water balloons at the students below – including Ron, who got hit in the head. Seeing as the children were already coming in from the rain, however, Peeves didn’t really see what he was doing as wrong...
-If there was anyone who was going to suffer under Peeves’s reign of pranking terror, it was going to be Neville Longbottom. Case in point: one of Peeves’s more casual pranks was to block the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower, telling students that they could only pass if they set fire to their pants. Harry and Ron simply turned around and used one of their short cuts. Yet what did they find when they got back to their dormitory? Neville, smelling strongly of ‘singed material’ and rummaging in his trunk for a fresh pair of pants. Oh, Neville.
-It wasn’t only students that fell prey to Peeves, however. Professors got pranked too. One such professor was Remus Lupin, who encountered Peeves when leading his Defence Against the Darks Arts class to the staff room for a practical lesson. Upon arriving, Lupin found an upside-down Peeves clogging up a keyhole with some chewing gum, which sounds pretty tame by Peeves’s standards. Yet it’s what he did next that shocked the students – he openly disrespected a professor. What followed must certainly have come as an education for Peeves. Lupin told his class to ‘please watch closely’ and then cast a spell that made the chewing gum shoot out of the keyhole and down into Peeves’s left nostril.
