After what happened at Bill and Lysander's wedding, Terry Weasley and his two older brothers, Fred and George were teleported to the joke shop. "Boys, i think i have an idea. But we need to be in disguise, got any disguises that can help?" Terry asked his older brothers who nod quickly. "I think so." replied Fred. "Good, so here's what we're gonna do." Terry then whispered his plan to the twins who burst out laughing. This could be our biggest joke yet!" shouted Fred happily. "And, maybe our masterpiece" added George. "And we'll expose this Death Eater of a Minister for what he really is," said Terry grinning.

They put their plan into action next day while wearing disguises to make them look like tailors while Fred and George also supplied wigs for them so no one recognized their hair. Terry also disguised himself to make him appear like a street merchant with Fred and George as his assistants.

Terry began to gather everyone around to see what sort of fabrics he had and that he could make anything at the right price. Fred and George winked to each other as Pius came in, "Anything?" He asked suddenly, walking up to the three disguised Weasleys. "Anything at all," said Terry, "But this is no ordinary cloth, dear minister. This cloth is one of a kind and there is none other like it. Compared to it, your wardrobe's too shabby." Fred and George eagerly nod. "We can help you in anyway possible!" They both said. "Oh thank goodness. I've been needing to update my wardrobe anyway." Pius said thankfully. "Then meet us in your office for a fitting," said Terry. And, so Pius did. Fred and George were doing the measurements.

Terry was writing down the measurements grinning and thinking this was the best plan yet. Fred and George were secretly snickering like the imps they were. "Make sure it's not too long, i prefer my robes to be nice and thin." Pius said pompously. "And don't worry about paying us," said Terry, "Since you are the Minister of Magic, we will not charge you a penny. All we want is, oh let's see... perhaps 50 yards of cloth. Naturally, it can't be just any old cloth. It must be 50 yards of uhm... Oh, send us cloth of 14 karat gold. Plus, we cannot use thread to sew it. That's just any old thread, naturally. We need... 50 spools of thread made of sterling silver. And to embroider your beautiful set of clothes, we must have at least 50 beautiful, sparkling diamonds." Pius' eyes lit up instantly, "Done!" Pius said eagerly. The twins both smirked, "Sucker." They both giggled quietly.

As they turned to leave, Terry turned to the minister. "Oh by the way," he said, "There's one last thing that we should mention: this suit of clothes will be so wonderful, it will be fit to be seen only by really clever people. Which means to anyone who is a fool, the suit will be absolutely invisible!" Pius looked on in fascination. "Oh how droll." Pius said. The twins smirked eagerly, this was their big chance.

Terry winked at the twins and so they went to a small work room in the Ministry and were hard at work, or so everyone thought. They were snickering happily because honestly, they weren't working on anything. All they were doing was playfully stripping Pius down and making sure that his so called new suit will be the best. It was for extra measurements for some underwear too or so Terry told Pius. The next day, Pius was growing more and more anxious and excited. He called in Dolores Umbridge, the undersecretary, to his office. "Go to the tailors and find out how my new clothes are coming along," he said, "And Dolores, remember: the cloth can only be seen by very clever people, and it will be invisible to those who are fools. Meaning, should you see nothing, then I'll be looking for someone to replace you." Umbridge gulped, she hated to be replaced after she was re-hired by Pius to be back in the Ministry. And she hurried into the room. "Oooh! It's looking nice!" She gasped happily but looked at Fred and George, "You two look familiar...have we met?" She asked. The twins shook their heads in no.

"Do you like it?" asked Terry pretending to hold up a pattern, "See how the fabric glistens?" And Umbridge gasped. She couldn't see a thing. If she told Pius that she saw nothing, she would be laughed at and be called a fool. So, she pretended to see the cloth. "Why, it's lovely! You three must've worked very hard on it!" She said. The three Weasley's snickered, obviously Umbridge hadn't learned her lesson on people who told the truth and who lies. "Well, tell the Minister not to worry," said Terry leading Umbridge to the door, "We'll get the minister's clothes done in time this weekend for his birthday. We'll work hard, even if it means all night." And once she was gone, Terry turned to Fred and George and smiled. "Who knew the trick would work so well?" he chuckled. Fred and George giggled, "It's Umbridge! She's easy to fool!" Fred sniggered. "And, she's also too pompous for her own good to realize it was us!" added George.

When Umbridge returned to Pius, she told him that his new suit was gorgeous and beautiful beyond comparison. Still, the minister wanted a second opinion. So, he sent Yaxley to investigate and told him what Terry had told him about the cloth being invisible to the eyes of fools. Yaxley was a bit skeptical but he went along with it, not wanting to upset the Minister. When he arrived, Terry was there to greet him. "Welcome, sir," he said, "You're just in time to see how far we've gotten. We've already finished the shirt and trousers. Milo is just sewing together the finest pair of socks to go with the Minister's shoes and Otis is adding some finishing touches to the hat." Milo (aka Fred) had a needle in one hand, a pin cushion on his wrist, and a thimble on his thumb. He was pretending to sew a pair of socks. As for Otis (aka George) he was with a dummy's head and pretending to fluff up feathers on a hat. Yaxley was speechless. Like Umbridge, he too didn't want to make himself look like a fool. "Oh my...this is amazing...you boys sure know your stuff." said Yaxley. "Thank you, kind sir," said Terry as he led Yaxley to the door, and when he was gone, Terry tried his best not to burst out laughing. Fred and George were also trying their best. They had two of Voldemort's most political and cunning Death Eaters along with Umbridge fooled!

Finally, Pius couldn't stand waiting and when he arrived he stopped at the door. "Dear Minister," said Terry bowing low, "We were just adding the finishing touches to your new suit. What do you think?" Fred and George both had needles, thimbles, and pin cushions. George pretended to lay out a piece of fabric. He grabbed a pair of scissors and was about to start cutting when Terry stopped him. "Otis, if I told you once, I've told you a thousand times," he scolded, "Measure how long you want the scarf before you start cutting." George nodded and he used some tape measurer to help him measure the "invisible" fabric and then he pretend to snip away a new scarf. "So, Minister, what do you think of your new clothes?" asked Terry and Pius gulped. He didn't want everyone to think he was a fool. And he certainly didn't want to fail the Dark Lord. "I-I think it looks like amazing!" Pius said. "Well, you better look your best! The Daily Prophet will be here along with students from Hogwarts who will see who now runs the Ministry." Fred said.

"So, you'd better get some rest sir," said Terry, "You have a big day tomorrow and your new clothes will be ready in the morning." And so he did. Next morning, Pius was ready for his robes and the three Weasleys handed him his 'invisible' robes. And, indeed the Daily Prophet along with a handful of Hogwarts students including Ginny, Neville, Dean, Seamus and a whole lot of others were waiting but also bored. Terry watched as Fred and George pretended to help the minister step into his "invisible" underwear, pants, socks and fastened his invisible shoes. Then they pretended to slip on his "invisible" shirt, hat, robes and finally his "invisible" scarf. And when the Weasleys were done, Terry kissed the tips of his own fingers and said, "Oh, dear minister, you look marvelous." Pius smirked smugly. "Hehe, i do don't i? Now, it's time to make my grand appearance." Pius smirked. Fred and George fist bumped each other as he left.

Once the Minister and his staff were gone, Terry, Fred and George burst out laughing. "It worked!" guffawed Terry. Meanwhile as the Weasley trio made their exit, the people waiting out in the main area of the Ministry had been told that fools could not see the minister's wonderful new clothes. So when they saw the minister strolling towards them with no clothes on at all, they panicked. they were ashamed of what they were seeing because none of them wanted to admit, even to themselves, that they were fools. Nobody except for one, Hogwarts student, who was starting his first year in Gryffindor. He was so young that nobody told him that if you didn't see the minister's new clothes you were a fool. In fact, he replied, "Hey! The minister isn't wearing any clothes!" Soon, everyone realized it and they all laughed at Pius who soon realized it and blushed furiously. Umbridge covered her mouth in shock while Yaxley's jaw dropped in shock and covered his son Aster's eyes, who was thankful cause he really didn't feel like looking. Ginny smirked, she knew who this work belonged too. She secretly snuck away to meet her brothers. "Nice work boys."

It was all over the Daily Prophet: "Minister shows Birthday Suit!" "The Minister's New Clothes."

Terry wrote a letter to his older brother Bill hoping he would love to hear what had happened. And it turned out, Bill was laughing hard. He really loved it, he was very proud of his brothers. But also wrote to Terry on where Ron, Aries, Harry and Hermione were.
