Hello again. Another chapter just for you. Hope you enjoy and please review!

Ginny looked at the gargoyle protecting McGonagall's office. 'The Wesley-Granger's to see Professor McGonagall, please.' She smiled sweetly at the gargoyle waiting for a reaction.

The gargoyle nodded. 'One moment please.'

Hermione chuckled, she remembered the first time they had to come in to see McGonagall. Ginny had nearly jumped out of her skin when the gargoyle had spoken to her. Since then every time they made it to the office before McGonagall found them elsewhere Ginny was as polite as can be to the gargoyle. It was very amusing. 'I wonder who did what this time?'

Ginny groaned. 'I have no clue. But I swear one of these days I'm going to ring their necks.'

Hermione laughed. 'No you won't, because on some level you are ridiculously proud of them.'

Ginny huffed indignantly. 'Ok so maybe I won't ring their necks. But Hermione twice in two days? That's a record even for our kids.'

'I know, and I just can't wait to hear what it's about?' Hermione said dryly.

'Well then I won't keep you waiting any longer.' McGonagall said from behind them.

Ginny jumped slightly. 'You are just hell bent on sending me to an early grave, aren't you Professor?'

McGonagall chuckled lightly. 'No, not at all. But I dare say your children are trying to do that to me.'

Hermione and Ginny both groaned. 'We are terribly sorry about that.' Hermione said softly not really knowing what else to say.

'Well it really isn't your fault, well maybe this time it is a little.'

Ginny frowned, she couldn't possibly have heard right. 'Excuse me professor?'

McGonagall shook her head as she chuckled. 'They were mounting a rescue mission. See somehow no one told them that Lizzy was going home. They got worried and went a wee bit over board.'

'Oh Merlin we totally forgot to tell them.' Hermione said guiltily. 'We are so sorry.'

McGonagall waved her off. 'You two had a lot to deal with yesterday. I can see how you could forget. And this would not be problem except your children being who they are found a rather unorthodox way to go about it. Ingenious really, and also supposedly impossible.' She didn't mention that she had been spitting mad when it happened.

'What did they do?' Ginny asked resigned.

'Somehow they figured out how to apparate within the castle walls. Now Jane took all the blame, after I got her of my desk, that is.' McGonagall said tersely, still mourning her glass of Firewhiskey. 'Now Jane is brilliant, but she does not have the patients to figure that out.'

Hermione's mouth was hanging open. 'But that's impossible.' She didn't even want to know what Jane was doing on McGonagall's desk.

'That is what I thought too.' McGonagall agreed.

Sam glared at Jane again. 'Why won't you just let me tell her what she wants to know?'

Jane glared right back. 'You didn't do anything wrong. I did.'

Sam snorted. 'That doesn't seem to make a difference to McGonagall. She's giving us all detention, now how is that better than me telling her what she wants to know and only you and me getting detention?'

'She won't do it.' Jane said pigheaded as ever.

'That is where you are wrong Jane!' Hermione said sharply. They had stepped into the office just in time to hear the last bit. 'I will personally make sure all of you get so much detention that you won't have any time to get into trouble. And you know I can.'

Ginny smirked, Hermione seldom lost her temper, but when she did? Woo boy look out. 'So girls you better start answering questions.'

Lorry scratched her neck. 'Oh bugger!'

Chris groaned.

Sam sighed relieved.

Jane crossed her arms stubbornly. She wasn't going to give her sister up no matter what. 'I did it.'

'We know you did it Jane. We are more interested in who taught you.' Hermione said sharply. 'And one of you bloody well start talking.'

Jane's eyes got very big. Her mum nearly never cursed. When she did you knew now was the time to listen up. 'I...I...'

Sam shot up. 'It was me mum, I'm sorry I didn't mean to cause so much trouble.'

McGonagall nodded to herself. Her suspicions were right. 'Can you tell us how you did it?'

Sam nodded enthusiastically. 'Of course professor. But can Chris and Lorry go, they really didn't have anything to do with this?' Sam pleaded.

McGonagall raised an eyebrow, but after a moment nodded. 'Chris, Lorry please make your way to your next class.'

Lorry and Chris stood up gave their parents a quick hug and then almost ran out of McGonagall's office. 'Thank you professor.' Sam sighed relieved.

McGonagall nodded slightly. 'Now Samantha I want you to tell me.'

Sam sat back down looking down at her shoes. 'It was rather by accident. I spend a lot of time with the house elves.' Sam smiled at the confused looks she was getting from McGonagall and her mama. Her mum simply smiled back. 'They are very interesting. Well I was very curious about their magic and asked them t show me some. That only made me more curious so I started doing research. You know how their magic developed and from where. Also what the differences were to our own. After a while I started to understand and started to experiment. Once I got the hang of it it wasn't that hard to figure out how they apparate.'

Hermione smiled, very proud of Sam even if it maybe wasn't her best idea ever. 'Why did you teach your sisters?'

Sam blushed. 'I taught them in case of an emergency. I wanted them to have a way to get away in a hurry or be able to go for help if it was needed.'

'As noble as that may have been Samantha. There is a very good reason why apparating in school grounds isn't possible.' McGonagall cleared her throat. 'What you did is not against school rules, apperating is. You're detention will be spent in teaching me how you did it. And you are not to teach any other people what you learned. Understood?'

'Yes professor.' Sam said softly.

'Good. Now back to you Ms. Jane. You will have detention for the rest of the term. With me and your sisters.' McGonagall turned to Hermione. 'Is that to your satisfaction?' McGonagall grinned at Hermione who nearly burst out laughing.

'That will do just fine.' Hermione nodded.

'Well then you two can run of to class too.' McGonagall shooed them.

'Would it be ok if I had a word with them before they ran of?' Ginny asked already pretty sure that Hermione needed to talk to McGonagall bout this.

McGonagall nodded. 'Of course.'

Jane and Sam stood up and hugged their mum before leaving with Ginny. Hermione turned to Mcgonagall and shook her head. 'She has always been very good at researching things.'

'Well she learnt from you. So it isn't surprising.' McGonagall sat down behind her desk and motioned Hermione to a chair. 'I suppose you will have to tell someone about all this?'

Hermione cocked her head then shook her head. 'No, like you said there is a very good reason why it isn't possible to apparete inside the school grounds. If I report it it will only be a matter of time until it gets out. That can not happen. So we'll keep this in the family, so to speak. I am sorry to drag you into it too.'

'Oh don't worry, this isn't the first secret I have had to keep.' McGonagall smiled. 'How are Lizzy and Diane doing?'

'We didn't get to see them this morning and last night I think they were slightly in shock.' Hermione said touched at the concern McGonagall showed. 'But I think we're on the right path.'

'You will let me know if you need anything?' McGonagall asked gathering some notes, she unfortunately had a class to attend.

'If we need anything we will let you know.' Hermione smiled as she got up. 'Thank you, and again we are sorry for this mess.'

'I think I would be rather bored without your children being up to something. Now I have to get to class before my students get into to much trouble.' McGonagall said as she and Hermione walked out of her office. 'Until next time.' McGonagall laughed at Hermione's face as she walked of to her class.

Ginny looked at Jane and Sam, they were growing up so fast. She could still remember them both as babies, easy not getting into anything babies. She missed those days. 'You could have gone about things a lot better than you did.'

Sam looked at her mama sheepishly. 'We were so worried and didn't think things through.'

'Well I know that. You should have contacted us before going crazy.' Ginny tipped Jane's face up so she was looking her in the eyes as well. 'We are very disappointed in you, and at the same time just a little proud that you look out for each other like you do.'

'If you had told us where Lizzy was we wouldn't have had to get in trouble.' Jane muttered.

'That maybe true, but you should have thought of a better way to let people know that you couldn't find Lizzy. But we are sorry that you were worried. We had a very long day yesterday and we forgot to let you know.' Ginny smiled at them both.

'Why is Lizzy at home though. Is she sick?' Sam asked all concern.

'Not exactly no. But you will have to ask Lizzy why when she gets back. Ok?' Ginny said.

'Fine.' Jane crossed her arms, she was a little mad at her parents at the moment, but she knew that now was the time to hold her tongue.

Ginny sighed, she knew Jane very well and knew she wasn't happy. 'Look Jane I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's all I can tell you.' She pulled the two into a tight hug. 'Now go to class and please try and stay out of trouble! Mum and me need some time to recover from this.' She joked getting both her daughters to at least crack a smile. 'We both love, now scoot.'

'We love you too mama.' Sam said and then dragged Jane of.
