HAPPY EIGHTEENTH!

Harry cracked his eyes open with great difficulty. He sat up in the chair, he had slept in, and groaned. The common room looked liked a heard of elephants had had cancan lessons in it, and had decided that it was the perfect place to start a bottle recycling plant. He decided to get a breath of fresh air, in the hope it would calm his throbbing head. Stepping over the Weasley twins, who were snoring gently beside the embers of the dying fire, Harry pushed open the portrait hole and gingerly climbed out. Leaving the Fat Lady on the latch, because he was in no state to remember the password, he leaned against a wall and tried to remember what on earth had possessed them to have the party.

*************

The Weasley twins were planning something, they had been huddled together in a corner of the common room for the last three hours, but they weren't giving any clues as to what. Even when Ron had skulked around them in the shadows of the fire, all he could get was "eighteen".

"What does that mean?" asked Harry. In truth he couldn't care less, but he was bored with only divination homework to distract him.

"Isn't it obvious," insisted Ron, "It's their birthday in two weeks, they must be planning something for it."

"Does it matter," groaned Hermione, trying to wade through the extra homework Snape had given her for being "Smart on purpose."

"No," Harry had to agree, and turned back to trying to figure out the origin of he death card, an assignment he was sure Tralawny had set him on purpose to warn him of his upcoming "Death by falling piano." Well at least she had imagination.

Ron was indignant about the matter, but seeing the other twos enthusiasm, decided to drop it. It was another four days before Fred and George revealed their plan.

Authors note: Oooh, any ideas about the plan, please include in your review.
