This was written for the September 2012 Twin Exchange. I know it's short, but it's my first attempt at working with prompts and stuff.

"FREDERICK GIDEON WEASLEY!"

It was the summer before the Golden Trio headed back to Hogwarts for their 6th year and Harry and Hermione were spending it at the Burrow. All the boys were seated at the kitchen table when they heard Hermione's voice echo down the stairs.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CAT?!" she screeched at the boy as she entered the crowded room.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Fred answered, giving her his most mischievous grin.

"You- what- I-" Hermione was so incensed she couldn't get a word out. She paused, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and turned her glare back to him. "My cat is PURPLE!"

"Oh that, well yeah that was me." Fred was still grinning, though he started to look a bit scared.

"You pulled a prank using Crookshanks? Wow, you are so dead." Ron interjected from across the table. Hermione shot him a glance and he instantly returned to his breakfast.

"Not only is he purple" she practically hissed the word, "he is also humming 'God save the Queen'!"

Everyone at the table gasped. They all knew you didn't touch Hermione's pet and got away with it.

"I couldn't help myself. The mere thought of it has my fingers tingling!" Fred explained.

"You know what makes my fingers tingle?" Hermione asked in a dangerously calm and quiet voice. She walked across the room and gave Fred a full-armed slap across the face. Tears in her eyes, she spun on her heel and ran back up the stairs.

Fred sat back down, stunned, and put a hand to his cheek.

"Did she just dump me?"

AN: I actually really like this, so I might carry on with it if I get enough positive reviews. Even if you don't like it, review too please. :)
