A Prankster became a Hero
Chapter 4
Peeves was a law unto himself – and not a particularly nice one, either. Yet there were those rare occasions where he put aside his devotion to chaos and utilised his pranking power for good.
One such example, of course, was when Hogwarts found itself under the tyrannical regime of Dolores Umbridge — a regime that Weasley twins Fred and George heroically escaped by unleashing prankageddon upon the school. Having flooded the fifth floor with a Portable Swamp, set off fireworks and hexed most of Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad, the twins then summoned their broomsticks and flew off in a blaze of glory, parting with the words: ‘Give her hell from us, Peeves.’
Now Peeves, of course, took orders from no one. But he did hold a certain respect for the Weasley twins, who were renowned pranksters, and following their explosive exit he went on a rampage of mayhem:
Cackling madly, he soared through the school, upending tables, bursting out of blackboards, toppling statues and vases; twice he shut Mrs Norris inside a suit of armour, from which she was rescued, yowling loudly, by the furious caretaker. Peeves smashed lanterns and snuffed out candles, juggled burning torches over the heads of screaming students, caused neatly stacked piles of parchment to topple into fires or out of windows; flooded the second floor when he pulled off all the taps in the bathrooms, dropped a bag of tarantulas in the middle of the Great Hall during breakfast and, whenever he fancied a break, spent hours at a time floating along after Umbridge and blowing loud raspberries every time she spoke.
His coup de grâce, however, came when Umbridge tried to sneak out of Hogwarts after being suspended. For rather than creeping away unseen, Peeves loudly chased her out of the school while whacking her alternately with a walking stick – borrowed from Professor McGonagall – and a sock full of chalk.
A few years later he would have the opportunity, yet again, to prove useful, with McGonagall calling upon his talent for chaos during the Battle of Hogwarts; a call he accepted gladly by dropping Snargaluff pods on Death Eaters and shouting, ‘Wheeeeeeeeeeee!’ Once the battle was won, he celebrated by singing, ‘We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the One, And Voldy’s gone mouldy, so now let’s have fun!’
Aw, maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. (He definitely was).
