At the end of the day, James and Sirius were heading back to the Gryffindor tower, but was stopped by McGonagall.
"Have you two gentleman forgotten that you have to serve detention tonight?" she asked.
The two boys groaned before Sirius said, "Alright, Minnie, take us away."
"First of all, please don't call me Minnie. And second, you will not be serving it with me. Two professors volunteered to take you two out of my hands this time, " she explained.
The two boys' eyes lit up before James said, "Well, who is it?"
"You will find out soon. Please, follow me," she said as she started walking.
After a few minutes of walking, they stopped in front of a classroom. She knocked before a familiar red head answered the door.
"Mr. Weasley, here are your students," she said.
George peered behind her shoulder before smiling.
"Why thank you, Minnie. We'll take good care of them," he replied.
McGonagall just sighed at the use of her nick-name before turning to the boys and saying, "I expect you two to be on your best behavior. If I hear one negative remark, I will make sure that you will spend detention with me for a whole month."
With that, she turned and gave the other professor a nod before walking away.
The three of them stood there for a moment before George said, "Well what are you waiting for? Come in, come in," he said before moving so that they can enter.
"Gred, our slaves are here," he called, trying to hold back his laughter at the look of the boys' faces.
Fred turned around and walked to join them before James asked, "What are you guys going to make us do?"
The twins looked at each other before saying, "Absolutely nothing."
The two boys looked at each other and gave them a high five.
"But there is one thing we want you to do," Fred started.
"But we won't force you to do it," the other red head finished.
"Well, it depends what it is you want us to do," Sirius said.
"You see, we're developing a small business on candy pranks," George started.
"And we need some taste testers so that we know if it is capable of selling."
"And we want you two to be the taste testers."
The two boys though for a moment before James said, "It won't give us any permanent damage, will it?"
George smiled before turning to the table in the back of him and grabbing 2 vials.
"These things here contain the thing that will prevent you two from having any permanent damage."
"Just one drop of this and you will be back to normal instantly."
The to boys looked at each other before they said, "We'll do it."
"Excellent," they both said.
Then, the twins turned to face the table, where they got a big wooden box. Fred opened it and took out a small clear container. When he opened it, he got out a plain white stick of what looked like taffy.
"This," he said while holding it up, "is the first thing we want you to try."
"Once you eat it, your hair will turn into multiple colors," George continued.
The two boys' eyes lit up as they each got the candy from Fred's hand.
"Whenever you're ready," the twins said.
The boys looked at each other before putting the candy in their mouths.
"Just chew and swallow," Fred explained.
The boys complied as they swallowed it.
"Well? Do you feel any different?" George asked them.
The boys shook their heads as the twins sighed in defeat.
"Well, I guess that was just anoth-" Fred started, but was interrupted by a gasp.
"Padfoot, your hair!" James said, pointing.
"Your hair!" he replied, pointing as well.
And sure enough, each of the boys' hair was turning different colors at once. James's was turning into a mix of hot pink and orange, whereas Sirius's hair was turning into a light blue and a bright yellow.
The twins high-fived each other before Sirius said, "Okay, this is fun and all, but i like my old hair better."
George handed them the vial before the boys unscrewed the cork and drank a sip. Soon, they were back to normal.
"You two ready for the next one?" Fred asked.
The two boys nodded as George got out another small box, this time containing a half purple half orange candy.
"You don't need the potion for this candy," Fred explained.
"You see, when you eat the orange side, you will become very sick. Maybe from a runny nose to full blown purging," the other professor said.
"But when you eat the purple side, it'll make you as good as new."
"I'm sorry," James started, "But why would someone need that?"
"Just to get out of anything, I guess," George replied.
"Like school or work."
The two other boys nodded to show that they understood as they got the candy from George.
"So start with the orange side. And when you think you've had enough, eat the orange side."
Sirius sighed as he turned to James. "Ready, Prongs?"
"Ready."
With that, the two boys took a bite out of the orange side. It only took them about 30 seconds before Sirius said, "My eyes are itchy."
"My nose is running," James said before inhaling.
Then, both boys started to cough and sneeze fiercely.
"You guys had enough?" Fred asked.
"Not-cough-even!" James said before sneezing.
Suddenly, the door to the classroom opened.
"Evening, Mel," George said as she walked over to them.
"Evening," she said before looking at the sick boys, "Okay, what did you two make them do?"
"We didn't make them do anything," Fred explained.
"They complied to it."
I think I'm going to be needing a bucket," Sirius said.
"You guys!" Melany said, "Do something!"
"Well, they're the ones who don't want to eat the other half of the candy," George said, shrugging.
"Boys, I demand you two to eat that other side or I will force it down your throats!" she said to James and Sirius.
The boys quickly got the candy and ate the purple side of it. Soon enough, they looked as healthy as ever.
"Two down," the twins said.
"And no more to go," Melany said.
"Aww, please?" the twins complained, pouting.
"Absolutely not! You already tortured them enough."
"I actually enjoyed it," James said.
"Yeah, it was quite fun. Can I have another one of those candies?" Sirius asked.
"No. It's time to go back to your dorms, anyway," Melany said, shooing them out of the classroom.
"No fun," Sirius muttered.
"What was that?" she asked him.
"Uh, good night, professor!" he said.
She just rolled her eyes in response as the boys started to walk towards the dorm.
"What a way to show your future father love," George said, teasingly.
"Oh shush. It's actually quite fun bossing him around like that," she said, smiling at herself in satisfaction.
"So, why aren't you back at the tower?" Fred asked.
"Can't I visit my two favorite pranksters?" she asked.
"Seriously, why?" they both asked, jokingly.
Melany rolled her eyes again and said, "Well, I just came back from my classroom. I needed to clean things up a bit."
"Speaking of class, where's Jenine?" George asked.
"Oh, yeah. She's holding detention for Draco."
"I wonder how that's going," Fred asked.
"I bet it must be torture for him," the other red head said sarcastically.
The three laughed as they left the classroom to go to their tower.
Meanwhile, Draco decided to go get Jenine so that they can walk together to their dorm.
"You're late Draco," Jenine said, impatiently when he was at the door.
"For what?" he asked.
"Detention," she replied.
"I didn't think you were being serious," Draco said defeatedly as he walked into the classroom.
Jenine laughed evilly. "I'm always serious, Draco."
"Well, you couldn't make an exception for me?!" he screamed from the back of the room.
She clicked her tongue. "Stop being a drama queen. It's not going to make your detention any more bearable."
He stared at her in disbelief. "You're actually going to make me do stuff?"
"Duh," she said simply. She reached into a drawer of her desk and pulled out a rag and cleaning supplies.
Draco stood at the back of the room dumbstruck. Jenine just sat at her desk and took out a book. "You'll be cleaning and scrubbing all the desks. A very Neville equivalent boy had an accident with a spell today in Muggle Studies, which is odd because it is Muggle Studies. McGonagall has detention with him tonight."
"And you're just going to sit there?" Draco asked, scrubbing a table.
"Mhm," she mumbled distracted by her book.
"So, how was your day?" he said, trying to break the silence.
"Do you mind?" Jenine said annoyed, looking up from her book. "I'm trying to read."
"I'm just trying to make conversation!" he cried.
"And I'm trying to read. You're in detention, Draco. I'm supposed to make it a punishment," she turned a page of her book. "And you're supposed to be working."
Draco mumbled something under his breath and Jenine slammed her book on her desk. "I am not a bloody killjoy."
Draco just sat there emotionless, frightened of his girlfriend.
"I can give you more detention, and it doesn't have to be spent with me. This is easy detention!" Jenine was fuming.
"You didn't have to give me detention in the first place!" he countered.
"I wouldn't have given you detention if you weren't so bloody proud!" she screamed. She took in a deep breath and calmed down a bit. "You will continue your detention, Mr. Malfoy, and you will complete it without a word. Do you understand?"
"Yes," he stammered, scrubbing vigorously at a desk.
The previously happy couple left the room that night without so much as a goodnight.
