The Stupid Locket and the Clever Map.
"Managed to open it yet?" Fred asked as he climbed the tree Emerald was sitting gracefully on with George.
"No," Emerald sighed leaned on the tree let her leg dangle off the side of the tree and watched Fred sit on the other side of her.
"Where did you go anyway?" She asked turning her head to look at his face for a reaction but had to cover her eyes as the sun shone bright over them. It was the third week of June and the trio had grown a year older but still mischievous as always. Emeralds hair had been growing at an alarming rate as it now reached her elbows and it had strangely turned a deep red at the ends making it look like fire was licking her black hair. Emeralds tan began to fade and began to look quite pale but still had a natural rosy blush in her cheeks every time Cedric would wink at her. Although Fred and George both looked like they were thirteen because they had grown immensely in height (Emerald liked to think that they had been put on stretchers overnight) their faces still had each freckle in the right place and exactly the same evil grins emerged when mischief was about.
"Ahha nothing much just causing mayhem.."
"you stepped on the Pumpkin patch didn't you?" Emerald asked knowing the answer.
"Yup…"
"and Flitch is going to kill you…" she rolled her eyes "with the usual" Emerald laughed as Fred stretched his long legs and the branch in front of him and put his hands behind his head just like George. George , Emerald noticed, was being that being quiet today which didn't surprise her as he had always liked listening more than talking. Emerald nudged her dangling foot next to his dangling one and George flung his eyes open.
"Hmm?" He murmured to her.
"Oh, i thought you were sleeping..."
"Nah, just enjoying the sun rays while I can." He looked up and eyed a black cloud hovering near the sun then turned his head to smile at her and closed his eyes again. Emeralds hands mindlessly traced the photo album she got for Christmas in her hands. She had just finished developing her latest pictures that she took and was laughing at them with George before he became a sunflower and decided to soak up the sun.
"You got them then" Fred asked taking Emeralds photo album from her.
"Yeah.. Oh god!" Emerald giggled with Fred at the first picture she put, it was one that George took of her and Fred laughing together, what looked like in Snape's dungeon as they spilt their cauldron over Adrian Pucey's lap which then burnt and suddenly started bubbling boils everywhere. Fred in the picture turned to the Fred sitting next to Emerald and gave them a thumb up.
"Aw poor Adrian had to be in the hospital wing for weeks"
"Silly boy, he should have known not to sit next to us wacky poitionists!" Fred then slapped Emerald a high five and grinned at George over her shoulder. The trio laughed hard and giggled uncontrollably at the photos that they took.
"Let's cause chaos in the corridors!" George suggested, after the trio finished searching through the photo album, looking very please with himself at the idea.
"YEAHHH! They yelled in joy and jumped off the tree that stood in front of the huge lake and headed in to the Great Hall.
Emerald entered the Great Hall, students were coming out from different directions like water escaping bare hands .Must have been time for class as everyone was getting their bags ready and heading for their upcoming classes.
"Perfect!" Emerald whispered in unison with the twins she pulled something dark out of their bags.
"No wait let me just let off this one off," Fred whispered next to her pulling the biggest one they got.
George appeared on the other side of Emerald with an evil grin he had pasted over his face; she expected Fred must have had the same. Emerald agreed and the trio started walking swiftly through a stuffy corridor then Fred found the moment. Fred let off THE Dung bomb and the trio waited anticipation was killing them.
"YOU THREE!" Something fluffy was brushing along Emerald's leg. Mrs Norris. The trio stared down at the cat with red eyes and seemed to be thinking the same thing.
Fred, George and Emerald + Mrs. Norris Filtch/ detention.
"Excellent" the trio smiled evilly waiting for him to come. Nothing they enjoyed more than annoying flitch. That old hag needed to be messed around with now and then. That stupid dung beetle couldn't live off hurting innocent children's fun now could he?
"I got you three now…" Filtch looked even more ragged than the last time they met, which wasn't long ago as the trio thought it was a good idea to provoke a hippogriff they found in the forbidden forest. "This calls for detention!"
The trio knew the rest of his words by heart that they now mouthed them with a bored tone.
"DISEMBOWELMENT!" Filtch poked Emeralds back in to the door of his office and she let out a hiss under her breath. They stood there blindly as there was no light whatsoever while Filtch was getting his chains ready,(as if Dumbledore would let him lay a finger on them). No wonder he couldn't dress well… still no excuse for the smell. Fred nudged both Emerald and George on the sides and pointed to a cabinet marked 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous'.
The trio automatically grinned and Emerald and George nodded to Fred, they knew the plan.
"Now!" Emerald whispered. George acted quickly and created a diversion by dropping another Dung bomb. Emerald whisked for the door and Fred quickly yanked something from the drawer and the trio ran for it.
They kept running until they were safe in the charms room, Professor Flitwick wasn't too pleased for their late arrival but soon accepted their apologies as soon as they mentioned Filtch. Emerald led the twins to a table at the far end of the class so they couldn't be over heard. The class was practicing on levitating feathers, but the trio already mastered it so Professor Flitwick was off their case for this lesson.
"What is it? What did you get?" Emerald was jumping questions at Fred who was equally being harassed by his twin.
"Go on show us!" Then Fred mischievously pulled out a... parchment?
"Huh?" Emerald sighed the anticipation and excitement vanished with the air.
"All you could bring out was a parchment?!" George stared in disbelief at the parchment that lay on the table in between them.
"Don't blame me I only grabbed the first thing I could feel!" Fred piped up sounding equally upset. But something snapped in Emeralds head, like a light bulb lighting up.
"Wait, this could be even more dangerous as it looks." Emerald stared at the parchment fingering it hesitantly.
"I see where you're getting at." Fred's smile was back in place and hope was building in their stomachs. "Like how a sugar quill looks like a normal quill unless you suck the top of it." Fred explained.
They stared at the parchment for a full minute but George broke the silence by picking up the parchment then something fell out of it. Emerald swiftly picked it up and read the note.
"EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS. USED WITH WAND." Filtch's scrawl was spread out across the piece of paper.
"Well we now know one thing." George took out his wand and taped the paper curiously.
Nothing.
Tapped it twice. Three times.
Nope.
"Maybe you should say something.." Fred suggested. An idea sprung at Emerald and she hesitantly though about it. Oh what the heck. Emerald pulled out her own wand and tapped the parchment.
"Open sesame?" she asked the parchment.
"Good one Em," Fred grinned at her holding his wand out then paused with his wand millimetres away from the parchment.
"If this parchment is dangerous that means the beholder is up to no good." Fred brainstormed out loud.
"What if you have to say an oath?" George suggested and a laugh escaped out of his thin lips.
"Like," Emerald laughed at the idea and placed her wand tip on the parchment and laughed out "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Not even looking at the parchment as she hadn't expected the parchment to do anything, but she was wrong. Very wrong indeed.
The weeks blew by too quickly but already the trio memorised every single secret passage way and hidden doors that they didn't even need the map anymore except the fact that they did need it to run away from hazardous teachers like Professor Snape and Filtch. Kings cross came too quickly for Fred as he already began to miss Emerald.
"How about you girls come over this summer eh?" Mr. Weasley asked Scarlet Hugging Emerald tightly.
"I really would but our auntie Rosita sent us tickets to go to Spain" Scarlet smiled apologetically to the Weasleys.
"Really?! Were seeing Auntie Rosita, Uncle Eduardo, Carlos, Pablo and Maresol?!" Emerald pronounced them fluently with a hint of excitement in her voice. She could understand why Auntie Rosita would want to see them again, or more like to see scarlet again as Scarlet looked exactly like her mother but with a hint of cheekiness.
"Yes little Esmeralda!" Scarlet ruffled up Emeralds hair.
"Not here…Escarlata," Emerald nudged her with her elbow and ran off to hug Ginny bye.
"Esmeralda?" Fred asked in an British accent so the name sounded funny
"Oh my Auntie always calls me that, its Spanish for Emerald.
"And Escarlata for Scarlet?" George asked.
"Yeah, I'm gunna miss you guys. Keep me updated!" Emerald then Hugged Fred and George then ran off with Scarlet who just finished off talking to bill.
"Bye Em! Don't get into any trouble without us knowing!" The twins and the Weasleys waved them bye. Emerald chuckled and waved back.
This was going to be a long summer, but Emerald hoped it could come and go quick as the many months that lay ahead of her was waiting to be lived with the Weasley twins.
