The twins had taken all my free time outside of class and because my classes were with the Hufflepuff I didn't get to see them during lessons. We planned the prank against Slytherin and many other small ones to divert attention. That was my idea, i told them that if there was nothing going on people would begin to think something was going to happen. We planted dungbombs in Snape's pockets and in the dungeons where the Slytherins gathered. People were going crazy. The twins had really taken to involving me in their prank against the Slytherin and I was excited. We planned and plotted how we would get it done. The twins cornered me after potions, my last class of the day and dragged me from the lower levels of the castle to the Gryffindor common room which had become like my own. It had been a week since our trip to the village and we had become so much closer, it felt good.
"Come on Hunn, time to finish the work on our prank."
"Really it's almost done?" I jumped with joy it had been three long days and finally we would see if it was all worth it.
"Yes, tonight is the night and at dinner the Slytherin will see what we're really made of." They smiled wickedly and i laughed
The twins raced us up to the common room and past everyone inside.
"Hi Hunn, back again?" Ginny called after us with her books open smiling
Hermine, Ron, and Harry were sitting in front of the fire. Hermione was studying and Harry and Ron were playing exploding snaps on the floor, anything but their school work.
"Hello everyone! I don't think I have much of a choice." I called to them as I laughed
The twins pulled me up into the boy's dorms and in their room. They had cleared out a corner in the back near the window to let out the fumes. The prank was brewing and in just a few moments it would be done. We stirred it and poured it into a wide silver tin and made it smell of limes and mint. It solidified in a few moments, i placed my wand a top the 'wax' and murmured a few words, now it would be triggered by a nice firm tap and a few well timed moments. I placed the top on and frowned.
"How are we going to get this onto the table?" I asked them concerned about getting caught, 'Waxing' the Slytherin table.
"Hooky." Fred called out rather loud
"Hooky?"
"Yes, I forgot you've never meet Hooky the house elf."
With a loud snap a house elf appeared behind us and in her light pink pillow case dress she looked down and away "Yes, miser and miser Weasley how can Hooky be of service to you both?" she looked up and smiled at us three, "Oh! Hooky didn't see you missus. Hooky is very sorry missus."
"Don't worry Hooky I am Hunn Rose-singer. It is very nice to meet you." I held out my hand and she looked confused and shocked by my gesture
"You are very nice to Hooky missus and Hooky thanks you for being so kind not all students are nice to Hooky." She did not touch me but she looked happy having been offered the gesture at all
"Hooky we were wondering if you could do us a favor before dinner tonight?"
"Yes, miser Weasley anything for you and missus Rose-singer who is so very kind to Hooky."
"We were wondering if you could wax the Slytherin table with this special wax we made for them." George explained using a sweet innocent voice
Nearly giggling I smiled wide at Hooky who looked unsure. "Hooky does not know if she should. Hooky knows that Gryffindor and Slytherin do not like each other, no not at all." She shook her head and twisted her fingers together
Panicking I begged Hooky "Oh please Hooky, we just want to bridge the gap between the houses and offer some friendship to start new." I placed my hand on hers from where i sat on the floor and smiled.
"Oh is that all Missus and Miser Weasley's wish to do? Then Hooky will do it for you and she will be happy to help you and the Misers." She took the tin of wax and with a snap she was gone again.
After a moment the twins were howling with laughter. "Bridge the gap?" Fred let out a laughed
"Offer friendship? Oh god" I joined in their laughter and rolled onto the floor clutching my sides
"Well she's going to wax the table now."
"Yes, now all we have to do is antagonize Malfoy and the fun will begin."
"Malfoy the seeker? The one I knocked over in last week's Quidditch match?"
"Yes, he's the one. We just need him to say the magic words and it'll begin."
I looked at Fred and George from my position on the floor they sat across from me discussing the finer details while I watched and waited. They were completely identical but somehow I knew that Fred was on the left and George was on the right. George's eyes crinkled a bit more when he smiled and Fred's mouth rose a little higher on the right side when he laughed or smiled at all. Not to mention their smell was similar but different. Fred was sweeter almost like sugar quills and George was smooth and sweet like a creamy caramel chew, they were so different but also the same it was so confusing. Their faces were thin and handsome, but they're so much the same its crazy. They're ginger hair was getting longer it was past their ears now and still growing, I wanted to run my fingers through it and feel how silky it was, but they were guys they wouldn't let me and they wouldn't want me, not after Marcus I was too much trouble to be worth it in the end.
"Hey, quit staring I know were pretty but that's just creepy Hunn." George called me out
I blushed and looked away, sitting up I stretched and yawned.
"Come on we should head down to dinner it'll be starting any moment. We don't want to miss anything." I ran my fingers through my hair it was tangled and knotted in the back. I pulled out my wand and waved it over the knots untangling them instantly. I shook my hair out behind me and stood. I looked back at the twins and saw them staring.
"How did you do that? Your hair is like silk now! Our knots don't come out like that we brush for hours and it hurts" George whined patting his own hair
"It's a simple cosmetic spell. Your hair can't be that bad its not to long after all."
"Teach it to us, we want to wake up later in the morning. Please please please please." Fred begged
I sighed, "Fine. You say, lenis, while waving your wand with a curling motion over the knots." I turned George around and Waved my wand soundlessly over his hair, taking the chance to run my fingers through it to show the untanggled strands. It was soft, smooth and silky against my fingers.
"Wow, George your hair is perfect now!" Fred gapped at it, "Do mine too!" he turned around and waited expectantly. Smiling i did the spell and ran my fingers through his hair. I loved the feeling.
"Hmmm that feels nice Hunn. Do it again." Blushing i turned away from Fred and started to walk away
"Come on its almost time for dinner you guys." They stood and fondled their hair amazed at its silkyness. I could still feel their hair running through my fingers. Amazing.
We walked out together into the common room Ginny was on her way out but stopped when she saw us. "What were you three doing. Your hair is perfect. To perfect."Her eyes narrowed
The twins burst out laughing and looked at their sister. "She couldnt handle us. She taught us a spell for our georgus locks." Fred flipped his short hair and posed
"What spell? Will it work for my hair?"
"Yes, i can teach you later Ginny." I smiled she was so sweet, she was fast becoming my friend and i loved hanging around her sassy attitude
We walked together to the great hall while i explained the spell to Ginny and the twins felt up their own hair, often touching each others arguing over who's was best. We sat at the Gryffindor table in th emiddle next accross from Harry, Ron and Hermionie the Trio of friends were never far from each other. Food appeared and everyone began eating, it was nearing desert and i was sitting on edge.
Fred leaned over to the center of the table and whispered "Spttt Ron say Malfoy is a prat." I waved my wand at Ron quickly, magnifying his voice.
"Malfoy is a prat." Ron spoke normally but his voice came out as a boom and echoed across the hall. Everyone fell silent and looked for the source
Accross the hall Malfoy stood, looking enraged and confused. "Who said that?" He yelled, no one answered
"You wait, just you wait, my father will hear about this nonsense!" in the same instant he slammed his fist onto the table and sat back down there was a loud poof and there was no table anymore. The food disappeared and what remained was a long pile of greasy slimy frogs that covered and hopped over the Slytherins. In the next instant the food was gone and cakes and pies as well as ice cream covered the heads of fuming students as they sat on the floor scrambling to stand in the slime. The hall burst into laughter over the Slytherins screaming and yelling. I threw myself into Fred and George with the strength of my laughter. They caught me we laughed together as we watched Marcus stomp from the great hall with frogs leaping from his robes covered in slime.
It was well worth the wait to see the Slytherins in turmoil.
Mcgonagall thought other wise. Her eyes burned bright staring at us, knowing the fiends were two identical gingers.
