Part 1: The Scapegoat
Fred sped down the hall running between several students. Looking over his shoulder he could see his twin wearing a smile on his face that was probably a perfect copy of his. Ducking down a side hallway on the right he slowed so George could catch up.
"How long," George asked out of breath. "Do you think it'll take before Snape notices?"
"He probably already has." Fred grinned and held up the small pouch. "What do you say, shall we hide the evidence?"
"That might be the best idea if we ever want to use the stuff again." George took off down the hall and Fred followed, hiding the small pouch back into his robe.
George slipped between two Ravenclaws and slowed to a stop. Fred stopped too and looked ahead to see what had caught his twin's eye. Ron, Harry, and Hermione where approaching them. George looked toward Fred and jerked his head at Ron with a smirk.
"It's not nice to use family as scapegoats." Fred whispered walking next to George.
George shook his head, laughing, "Would you rather slip it into Harry's robe?"
"Good point, Ronniekins is more expendable."
"And he'll have to forgive us. We're 'family' after all."
Ron looked up, noticing them for the first time as they ambled closer.
"I don't know if this is such a good idea. Bet you he trips and gets this stuff all over him."
"If he trips and douses himself, I'll owe you one. Deal?" George said.
"Deal." They both grinned, approaching their unsuspecting bother.

Heh, Part 2 coming very soon. In fact as soon as I can post it. That one is actually long and really goes somewhere with the actual plot. I'm such a tease. ^_^
