And, finally...

The room is comfortable-looking and warm. A door opens and three boys walk in, casually joking around and ribbing each other.

"Did you see his face, Zander?" one laughs (in an almost bark-like way). He is dark-haired, with grey eyes.
The boy he is addressing, with frizzy yellow hair and blue eyes, smirks. His rounded face quickly takes on a mock-stern appearance, however. "I certainly did, Regal. He's going to be so pissed off when we return... And this time –"
"You're not explaining. We know. That's a guarantee when we prank your dad." The third boy finishes. He has trademark messy hair (its colour a red so dark it looks almost black), with clear blue eyes that come from his mother's side of the family. A pair of reading glasses hangs around his neck on a chain.

'Regal' speaks up again. "We can discuss whose explaining what later, Serious. Right now, we have a different task...and an audience! Look!"
He points in front of them, then spreads his arms. 'Zander' says, "We see them, we see them. But I still don't get what MuggleCreator wants us to do, exactly? I mean, this isn't our story! Unless you count the teeny-tiny mention of you and Serious right near the end..."

"Ah," 'Serious' interrupts, "But that's the point. All those people out there –" he indicated the audience again, "– they've read the story previously. However, MC had to go on a sort of 'study leave' from writing...you know, like you always insist we stop pranking for the two weeks of exams."
The other boys snort. "MC? Really, Jimmy?" 'Regal' sniggers. "Anyway, MuggleCreator's leave was for a whole year, for a similar purpose: the Muggle, Australian version of NEWTs." He shudders theatrically. "I'm not looking forward to those. Or OWLs, for that matter."

Zander cuts in, "Joey, seeing as how you and Jimmy got your parents' brains, and got into Ravenclaw with me, I doubt you'll have too much trouble. Though we might want to consider taking a leaf out of MuggleCreator's book – ha, ha – and cutting back a little in those years..." he sniggers at the looks on his friends' faces. "Kidding. Anyway, I understand everything you've said – it is, after all, on her profile – but what do we have to do with anything?"

Joey says, "Frank, really. She's finished now, isn't she? And she's tweaked the story and re-uploaded it. But there's the small matter..."
"Of the fact that she doesn't really know if Author Alerts tell the readers if a chapter has been replaced." Jimmy added.

Frank understood. "So she's added this chapter, and is using us, the Jokesters, to get the message out. Smart woman." he said, "After all, there have been some fairly major tweaks."
"And that's not all," Joey continued. "Some reviewers, last time, reviewed lots of chapters. Which pleased MuggleCreator very much of course. However, due to a certain policy that allows for only one review per chapter, that leaves at least one reviewer in a bit of tight spot."
"So this chapter can now be used for reviewing the entire story." Jimmy continued, "We hope you like what she's done. We do."

A bell rang. All three boys jumped. "Oh hooray, that's the end of break." Jimmy says.
"Oh come on Jimmy, be Serious!" Joey hoots.
Jimmy raises his eyebrows. "But Joey, you are after all the Regal one."
Frank says, "To be Frank, I'm Zander. Now let's move, or we'll really be in for it."

Jimmy sulks. "Aw, darn."
Joey says, "Come on, this isn't the only time we'll do this."
Frank replies, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think she might have the Trick or Treaters lined up for the next one. And the Pack, or Vic's Friends might get a look-in too..."

The voices fade as the door shuts behind the three boys.

See you next time peeps!
