A Foolish Holiday

Title: A Foolish Holiday
Summary: It's not easy being Harry Potter on April Fools Day.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Casual mention of kissing both het and slash.
Author's Notes: I started writing this story intending to go in one direction, but when I got further in, I ended up going in another direction entirely. Thank you to knic26 for the beta and the advice. They were sincerely appreciated.
