Sadie sat down on the chair in the Gryffindor Common Room. She was still feeling quite out of place in the house that she was put in. She opened her potions book, and took out her glasses. She was having a little trouble in the class, and she felt like Snape had all the sudden turned on her. It seemed like most people had turned on her. The only ones that seemed to be nice to her were Ginny and Hermione. She was at least thankful for that.

She started memorizing some of the potions list that lay in front of her, when she heard noise walking into the Common Room.

"It's not working Fred!" George said irritated.

Sadie listened to them walking in, trying to make sure it didn't look like she was eavesdropping. When the two boys walked in, she noticed them as Ginny's older brothers. The Weasley twins, as she commonly heard them referred to as. She was quite aware of who they were, as they seemed to make a name for themselves. She was quite attracted to the one that was more talkative, and seemed to have somewhat of a more mischievous side. She would never admit this openly, as she knew he was three years older then her, and they were her good friend's brothers.

George's eyes glanced over at Sadie and he began to talk a little quieter. "Do you think that we forgot something? It works perfectly, it just seems to work a little too good." George said, frustrated, to his twin brother.

Fred grinned. "Relax George. I'm sure something very small. We checked and double checked our ingredients and their effects. We know it works. It's just getting it to stop. We'll probably have to make a separate pill or something; I don't think it's possible for just one. I think we'll have to go back to the library." When he said 'the library' his expression and tone changed to one of mock horror.

Fred grinned again, and shook his head slightly. George always got a little frustrated and irritated when they were making a new product. They always made sure to research beforehand, so they could make it and be done. But quite often they leave out or forget one detail or another, and it takes them a bit to figure out. Fred didn't mind too much really. He loved making the products, fiddling with them and perfecting them. Besides, if they stressed out too much, it wouldn't solve anything and they'd probably just make the problem worse.

Harry walked down the steps and saw Sadie sitting on the chair, and the twins gathered in a corner talking about something. From the looks of it, it seemed like something that was against the rules. That wouldn't be unusual for either of these two... "Fred... George... what are you two doing?" Harry asked walking over to them.

"Trying to figure out how to make underclassmen puke, without winding up in Madam Pomfrey's office," George said, frustrated again

"They're working a little too well if you know what I mean. We still haven't found the proper antidote yet," Fred added.

"What are you up to mate?" George asked Harry.

"I was going down to get some lunch," Harry told them.

"Oh well... I think I will also. I'm quite hungry and I'm just getting frustrated."

"So we're just leaving Lee there then? Brilliant. Maybe we can give him some food in between his trips to the toilet." His voice was mocking.

Puking? Sadie thought about what they were doing for a second, and she looked through her potion book, to try and figure out what the twins were doing wrong... A part of her wanted to see what would happen as well.

Sadie waited until the three of them left, and looked at their pill. It looked like candy, which she supposed was what they wanted. She soon realized none of this was going to be found in her school books and went to the library.

After hours of researching she found a list of ingredients she thought might be useful. She cooked them up in the girl's bathroom, in a glass.

She walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room and waited until everyone left for dinner. She started mixing, and putting the ingredients together, trying to make it look like a piece of candy with the use of her wand.

As she went through about three or four different ones...she thought she had finally gotten it.

George walked down the steps slowly and gazed down at Sadie sitting on the couch, making something. Fred came up just behind him, watching her intently. He stood against the wall and watched her, making sure he was out of her view. He noticed that she seemed to have their piece of candy... Fred must have left it there.

She seemed to be comparing and making something else, and he noticed she put down and note and walked away.

Sadie smiled to herself and walked down to the Great Hall to have some dinner.

When Sadie was out of sight, George walked over to the table... and noticed his puking pastile sitting next to a new piece... he noticed a note written there.

When Sadie left, Fred beat his brother to the sheet, reading what it said before George took it to read. It said: Try This To Stop the Puking...

Fred took a look at the pill, studying it for a moment, before shrugging and running up to the dorm. "OH LEE!!" he sang. "We have another antidote for you!!"

Lee groaned and wished he had the strength to hide. All the antidotes he had been given thus far were duds. In fact, he was positive they had only made the puking worse. He grip on the seat tightened as his stomach tried to unload another time.

Fred burst into the bathroom, and Lee tried to wave him away. "Just try it," he insisted, and as soon as Lee finished throwing up, Fred stuck the pill in his friend's mouth. Fred turned on the water and let his cupped hand fill up with water from the faucet, then poured it down Lee's throat to help him swallow.

George waited anxiously to see what the effects were going to be of this new pill. If this first year Malfoy girl was going to make the cure, she would definitely be admitted into their hall of fame, and possibly be able to help them in future pranking and jokes. His heart beat rapidly and his palms were getting sweaty from hoping so bad they would have found something. This would be so easy to sell to students, especially to get them out of homework.

Lee gasped for breaths for a few moments, and then visibly began to calm. The color began to return to his face, and he looked as if a burden was slowly being lifted from him. "How do you feel?" asked Fred excitedly.

"Excellent," Lee answered, grinning from ear to ear. "In fact, I dare say I'm starved. My stomach is as empty as can be."

"How convenient. It's about time to eat dinner. Come on." As Fred bounded down the steps, his mind worked furiously. That girl, that Malfoy girl, figured it out. She found the antidote for their product. He wasn't sure if he should feel ashamed, insulted, or awed. Deciding on the latter, he came to the conclusion that they had to have this girl work with them. She was brilliant, and she clearly had no problem with bending the rules a little. Exactly what he and George needed. He just couldn't believe they found it in a first year girl, and a Malfoy at that.

George was shocked at the reaction Lee had; he certainly wasn't expecting it. His eyes went wide, and he felt a little some shame in the fact he hadn't figured out the pill himself, especially with Fred by his side.

Sadie walked down to the Great Hall and sat next to Ginny. She glanced over at Hermione who was sitting across from Ginny, but didn't say anything to her, she didn't know if the girl liked her yet.

"Hi, Sadie," Ginny greeted her.

"Hi," Sadie said, avoiding contact with Hermione.

Harry and Ron sat down next to Hermione, and both looked at Sadie interestingly. They were still baffled by her being in Gryffindor. Ron tried to avoid contact with her and started eating his food.

When Fred reached the Great Hall, he immediately sought Sadie out. It wasn't hard to find her, as she was friends with Ginny. With quick strides, he made his way over to his sister and the girl, eyes dancing with excitement and curiosity.

"Hello, I'm Hermione," Hermione said to Ginny's friend, smiling kindly. "How do -"

Fred plopped down across from the Malfoy girl, nearly knocking Hermione off the bench. "You and I need to talk," he announced without any sort of introduction, looking her straight in the eye, a wicked smile playing across his face. Hermione glared at him, angry at such a rude interruption.

Sadie smiled back at Hermione, and then noticed the Weasley twins walking in. One sat next to her, while the other sat across from her, and she was a little bit nervous. She wondered if they had known she made that pill, and if they were angry with her. She wondered if maybe it hadn't worked, and the person who was ill was even sicker... or even dead. She bit her lip and her eyes went wide. "I'm sorry," Sadie said turning away from both of the twins.

Ginny looked at her a little confused. She had hoped she hadn't done anything, but judging from the looks on George and Fred's faces she had done something good.

Ron and Harry were also enticed by the scene before them. What had the Malfoy girl done? Something awful, thought Ron. If it was something awful, it wouldn't surprise Ron at all. She was a Malfoy after all, and maybe Hermione and Ginny would finally realize it.

Harry's change of opinion after what Hermione had said, had vanished. This girl must have a side like Draco, like Ron always said...

"What on earth are you sorry for?!" Fred exclaimed joyfully. He reached across the table to lay his hands on her shoulders and give her a slight shake. "That was bloody brilliant! Lee's as right as rain. How did you do it? How did you know where to look? Is this your first time? Or have you been doing it for a while?" He fired each question one right after the other. He could care less about food at the moment, he just wanted to know more about her and what she did.

Sadie smiled at him, "I... really didn't know where to look. I just figured I would be able to find some type of ingredient. I wrote them up for you, in exact order." Sadie reached into her pocket and handed them to Fred.

George excited by what had just happened grabbed the list from Fred before he could get a chance to look at them. "Oh no... how could we have forgotten the Granmensine!" George said anxiously, "You're brilliant... absolutely brilliant." George shook Sadie slightly in the same way that Fred did, and jumped up, ready to cook it up himself and sell it.

"Oh, the Granmensine! That tricky little bugger. Should have known, should have known," Fred said dramatically.

Sadie laughed slightly and felt a sense of pride in herself. "Thank you," she said beaming.

Ginny looked over at Sadie, "Be careful... they are going to want you to break all the rules for them now."

George heard his sister's comment and sat down next to her on the other side, "Do you have a problem with that sis?"

"We don't 'break' rules," Fred clarified. "We simply bend them. And with all the best intention in our hearts. For what kind of world would we live in if there was no laughter?" His expression was one of pure innocence, but his eyes were full of mischief and his tone was questionably mocking. Fred turned to Sadie. "You must be one of our accomplices, dear one." He took her hand in hers, as if it was a matter of life and death. "We can achieve great things. The stars are our limit!"

Hermione kept pursing and unpursing her lips. While she was unhappy that Fred and George persisted to go against the rules and were now influencing the younger ones to follow, she was happy that Sadie was finally being accepted by her fellow housemates. She eventually just decided to give in to the happier nature, and shook her head and smiled. Fred and George, especially Fred, always managed to take everything over the top.

Sadie blushed looking at Fred, and smiling wide. The boy was gorgeous! "Umm I'm not sure... I would be very good at it," Sadie said feeling a little nervous.

"Nonsense!" George said, "You obviously know what you were doing. And you were obviously eavesdropping on us... I love your style!" George patted her on the back and smiled at her then smiled at Fred.

Sadie's heart was pounding, she looked at both of the twins unsure of what to say. They were both being so nice to her... and she felt... well popular. It was feeling she hadn't particularly ever felt before, especially in her family.

"It's settled then," George said not waiting for a response.

Ginny smiled noticing how happy this was making Sadie. She could see she had some nervousness, but it could tell she was more overwhelmed by her happiness.

Ron couldn't help it anymore, "she's a Malfoy!" Ron's jealousy about a Malfoy being accepted by his brothers before him, had overcome him. That wasn't fair, he had always tried to help them, and they had shunned him away. Why would the sister of Draco be given a better place then him?

Sadie's smile soon turned to a frown as she took her hand away from Fred. Harry looked over at Ron, surprised by his comment. He understood where Ron was coming from, but thought it was cruel.

Sadie bit her lip and looked down.

"Shut up Ron!" Ginny yelled, "she doesn't act like them!"

Ron was even more angry, "maybe not right now!"

George looked over at Sadie and noticed how upset his brother's comment had made her, and then looked up glaring at Ron, trying to think of what to say or what to do.

Hermione let out a small gasp and glared at Ron. "Ronald! How dare you-"

"And what's a name Ron?" Fred cut in, anger filling his veins. His demeanor instantly became serious. "So what if she is? Are you denying the judgment of the Sorting Hat, who hasn't been wrong in decades?" His eyes pierced through his brother. "And just because she happens to have talent where you seem to be lacking gives you no right to lash out at her like that. Apologize. Now."

"Apologize?? You must be mental!! Apologize to a Malfoy!" Ron was getting even more angry, "and YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN ME A CHANCE!"

"Come off it Ron! Jealous are you!" Ginny said to him.

"Sadie," Fred said, turning back to her. His brown eyes were kind. "I trust you. I don't care that you are a Malfoy, you were clearly put in Gryffindor for a reason. You are brave. You rose above the standards of your family and defied them. And you're wonderfully brilliant. George's is right. We refuse to let you work with anyone else. Now that you've helped us, you're stuck with us." He gave her another grin, and wink.

Sadie bit her lip still feeling a little sad. Everyone was making her feel better though, and they were all pretty much sticking up for her, except Harry Potter. Fred's grin and wink made her melt, and she felt her feet getting a little weightless. She smiled back at his wink, and was sure her redness was becoming well noticed.

"That's right, and if you try to use your expertise elsewhere... we will hex you!" George said eyes wide, looking at Sadie.

"Well then... I guess I have no choice," Sadie said smiling at them.

"That's the spirit!" George said nudging her a bit.

"THIS IS MENTAL!" Ron said, turning furious. He hated this girl, not only did he dislike her for who she was, but he disliked her for taking over his family..

"Oh Ron, shut up already. Can't you see you're the only one who thinks that way? You're being completely unfair and rude, and if you'd calm down for a minute, you would be able to see that too," Hermione huffed. He was ruining what was a very sweet moment.

"I apologize for my brother, who is too much of a coward and git to admit how cruel he acted just now. It's quite shameful." Fred told Sadie, decidedly ignored his brother, who was acting quite immature over the ordeal. "We promise you won't regret it," he grinned at her. He held out his hand for her to shake, sealing the deal.

Sadie took out her hand and shook Fred's nervously. George stretched out his hand for her also when she took his as well. "Excellent!" George was bursting with excitement.

Ron looked over at her still angry, but decided to keep quite, it was obvious everyone was against him on this. He sat down and started stuffing food into his mouth.
