Chapter 1:
The Floo Network
Harry's classes were finally over. He could finally go back to the Gryffindor Common Room and relax with Ginny. He had planned an evening with her. All of Hogwarts was going to Hogsmeade tonight. Fred and George had gotten Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Hermione reservations for "The Black Pearl" a hidden restaurant in Hogsmeade. Harry was SO excited. He couldn't wait. They were going to have a blast. Nothing could get in the way.
Hermione entered the room, frustrated.
"Hermione? What's wrong?"
"Muggle Studies! Aaaaaaaaargh!" Hermione groaned. She sat on a couch leaning her head back.
"Will it interfere with our plans tonight?" Harry asked.
"Erm…Yes. I have to write a paper on pirates."
"Pirates?" Ron asked walking in to the room. He leaned on the wall smirking, "It'll be easy for you, smarty pants."
"Excuse me?" Hermione sat upright, "Just because I get better grades than you doesn't mean I know everything! Harry, cancel our plans for tonight."
"No. We have to go tonight. We'll be back before you know it. You'll still have time for homework." Harry explained. Ginny, Fred, and George walked in.
"Are you ready to go?" Ginny asked. Harry gaped at her. She was dressed with a brown vest and a flowing skirt. She had a sash around her head and was wearing loose pigtails.
"Y-y-y-yeah." Harry said, stuttering. Fred and George snickered and handed Ginny the floo powder, in a small brown pouch.
"Don't use it all." Fred started.
"You'll need it to get back." George finished. Ginny glared at them but quickly went back to her normal expression, a small, open mouth smile. She looked at Harry and in an instant, she frowned.
---A/N: OH! Snapple Fact- Frowning burns more calories than smiling!!---
"Harry? Why didn't you get dressed?" Ginny asked.
"OH! Oh my god! I am so sorry. I forgot to put it on."
"How could you forget?" she whined in a small, angry voice.
"I-I-I didn't forget!" Harry stammered.
"Really! Then why aren't you wearing your outfit?" Her frown was completely gone and replaced by a scowl.
"Oh forget it. I'll go change right now." Harry grumbled, smashing his feet against the floor to go change.
A Few Minutes Later
"I'm sure you look fine." Ginny cooed.
"Yeah, Harry we're sure you look fine." Fred and George crooned.
"Everyone's ready and changed except for you. We want to see your pirate costume." Hermione looked over at Fred and George and with a smirk, she walked over to the fireplace. She was dressed in a hot pink dress (complete with a corset!) her hair was still bushy but, was up in a bun with loose hairs flooding down.
"I look ridiculous!" Ron whined. Ron was outfitted in brown pants with buckled boots. His shirt was frilled and cream colored.
"I do too." Harry plainly said. He finally opened the door to reveal a big sleeve chemise with a baggy blue vest and dark corduroys. At the bottom he had big brown boots. There were beads in his mopped hair.
"Go and have your double-date!" Fred and George said unanimously. They pat Ginny's hand and pushed them towards the fire place.
"The Black Pearl." Ginny said stepping forward. Then, POOF! She disappeared. Hermione copied Ginny and POOF! She was gone. Harry stepped over mimicked Hermione and POOF! Finally, Ron stepped up into the fireplace, "The Black Pearl!" and BLAM! (couldn't all be poof!) he was gone.
"Excellent, we've tricked them!" Fred and George laughed.
I am SO sorry it's kinda boring but it gets more exciting later. YAY!
