George,

How did you switch her wand? That's more impressive than the fireworks in Dumbledore's office. She never leaves her wand more than a meter away from her. Yes, Michael really joined my organization. Okay, it's not technically an organization at the moment, more of a security squad. He even got Ernie to join. We now have three prefects, you should now be extremely scared.

I'll send you another copy of the picture, please put a copy of it up in Ron's room. Don't use a permanent sticking charm though. An ordinary sticking charm should work, he won't know the way to unstick it. Plus, it has the added bonus of not annoying your mother too much. Send me the pictures with Fred and the fork, I'll make copies for you. (Plus, I'd love to see it!)

Yes, they're from your shop. We've hardly had any products from Zonko's this semester. Their items are banded as well. Your shop is the only one with an owl order business. It. Is. Your. Fault. I am sending you a picture of Michael, Ernie, and myself in our squad. You should most definitely upgrade your security. (You really should have anyway, half of Diagon Alley is shut down and there have been attacks almost every other night. I don't doubt you've got security protocols in place, but I would feel better if I knew you had increased it.)

I had fun too, though I didn't appreciate you pranking my glass. But it was funny to see you use it on Ron! By the way, did the chomping cabbage work for the gabbing gum? (I can't believe you got me to help you with that!) I took several pictures of the U-No-Poo Ron, along with some other pictures of the Gryffindor common room. I took one of this year's Quidditch team, of Ginny and Dean, Harry, Neville, and myself.

I thought SOCK was rather clever, better than TOGA anyway. I'll make you treasurer of the club. I'm sending your badge with the pictures. The pink knitting needles should look good with your magenta robes. The red yarn will go brilliant with your hair. (Note the sarcasm in my voice, err, ink.)

I thought about turning Draco back into a ferret, but Harry's kind of gotten me sick of him. He's become absolutely obsessed with the idea of Draco being a Death Eater. I'll admit, it is likely that he will become one, but why would Voldemort want him at so young an age? What could he possibly bring him? He also seems to think that Voldemort assigned Draco a special mission. Again I ask why? Why Draco? It wouldn't be to get in the school, he thinks he has Snape. That would be the best spy in the world for him, he has far more power than Draco ever could.

Yes, it did blow up on him, he tried to change it and it just blew. He doesn't even have the advantage of using a broken wand for an excuse. I have no idea how he managed to blow up something he was transfiguring. Only he could do it.

Yes, I'm taking Apparation lessons, but I'm not looking forward to it. Everyone expects me to do it the first time, but what if I don't? What if I'm terrible?

You couldn't out fly me on a thestral, they wouldn't go near you. PAAP has warned all of them about you, ha!

Talk (or write) to you soon!

Hermione (solver of prank problems)

Ps. You Of course you have our conversations recorded, they're on letters!

Pps. Not quite, it's an extremely old potion book (from the fifties, thanks for that tip by the way!) The user wrote tips in the margins, but he also did spells. Harry's become obsessed with him as well. He bought a new one, but he replaced the old books cover with the new one, so he could keep on using it.

Ppps. I'm not doing anything. I'll be down there with my charms book.
