Thank you for the reviews guys. Here's Chapter Ten! :)

Melissa woke up the next morning and quickly changed into her school robes. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and she grabbed her book bag. After making sure that she had everything she needed, she headed to the Common Room where she saw that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were already up. Hermione was complaining about something on the bulletin board and a grin appeared on Melissa's face. She must have seen the notice that Fred and George put up.

"Morning," Melissa said as she walked over to her brother and friends.

"Morning," Harry and Ron said with a smile on their faces.

Hermione then rounded on Melissa with an angry expression on her face.

"Did you know about this," Hermione asked Melissa as she pointed to the notice on the bulletin board.

In big bold letters the notice read, 'Gallons of Galleons! Pocket money failing to keep pace with your outgoings? Like to earn a little extra gold? Contact Fred and George Weasley or Melissa Potter, Gryffindor Common Room, for simple, part-time, virtually painless jobs.' In smaller print underneath read, 'We regret that all work is undertaken at applicant's own risk.'

"Yeah I know about it," Melissa said. "That's why my name's on the notice."

"Ugh," Hermione said as she grabbed the notice from the bulletin board and crumpled it up.

"Hermione," Melissa said as she took the notice away from her.

"You see," Hermione said in a furious voice as she took the note away from Melissa. "I knew that if you spent too much time with them something like this would happen. You can't get into trouble this year Melissa. It's our O.W.L year. I think you should focus more on your studies and less on your joke shop."

"On her studies," Ron asked Hermione with a laugh. "She's going to open a joke shop with Fred and George. What does she really need to worry about?"

"Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Transfiguration," Melissa told him. "But that's not the point," Melissa said as she rounded on Hermione. "I'm not going to stop being friends with Fred and stop dating George."

"I'm not asking you to," Hermione said. "I just think that you should spend less time with them."

"Yeah well that's not going to happen," Melissa said in an angry voice as she snatched the note from Hermione's hand and crawled through the portrait hole.

"Nice going Hermione," Ron said as he turned to face her.

As Melissa headed down the Grand Staircase, she ran into her ex boyfriend Justin Finch-Fletchley whom she dated in her third year. He was a muggle born wizard in her year but he was in Hufflepuff. He had short black hair that was spiky near the top and dark brown eyes.

"Hello," Justin said with a smile on his face.

"Hi," Melissa said as she continued walking down the stairs.

"Did you have a good holiday," Justin asked as he followed her.

"It was alright," Melissa said. She couldn't believe they were actually having a conversation. I mean he didn't talk to her at all during their fourth year. And he was the one that said they should stay friends when they both agreed to break up with each other near the end of their third year. "What about you?"

"Same," Justin said.

They reached the bottom of the staircase and Melissa went to walk into the Great Hall but Justin walked in front of her to block her path.

"Listen before you head to breakfast I wanted to talk to you," Justin said.

"About," Melissa asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I just wanted to let you know that not everyone thinks you and Harry are liars," Justin told her.

"Really," Melissa asked. "Because so far everyone that we ran into has called us one. Even a good friend of ours turned against us."

"Yeah well I don't think you and Harry are liars," Justin told her. "And my friends don't think you guys are either. In fact, I've stopped getting the Daily Prophet because I think that what they write in there is a load of rubbish."

"Thanks," Melissa said with a smile on her face. "It means a lot to know that some people don't think we're liars. Thank you for letting me know."

"No problem," Justin said returning the smile. He headed into the Great Hall and walked over to the Hufflepuff table.

Melissa smiled and she headed into the Great Hall as well. She walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat herself in between Fred and George.

"Good morning," Fred and George said.

"Morning," Melissa said. "You'll never guess who I ran into on my way here."

"Who," Fred asked.

"Justin Finch-Fletchley," Melissa told them as she poured herself some pumpkin juice.

"Your ex from your third year," George asked with a shocked expression on his face. A smile appeared on Melissa's face when she heard a small hint of jealousy in his voice. She had never seen him jealous before and she thought that he looked really cute when he was. "What did he want," George asked her.

"Just to say hi and to tell me that he believed Harry and I about Voldemort," Melissa told them.

Fred and George shuddered at the sound of Voldemort's name but George spoke. "Oh," the jealousy fading from his voice.

"See I told you not everyone thought you two were crazy," Fred said.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked up to the Gryffindor table and they sat across from them. Fred and George turned towards them and they saw Melissa glare at Hermione.

"Are you and Hermione fighting or something," Fred asked.

"I'll tell you about it later," Melissa said after taking a sip of her juice.

"Harry! Melissa," a female voice said.

Harry and Melissa turned their heads and they saw Angelina Johnson running up to them.

"Hi Angelina," Harry and Melissa said with smiles on their faces.

"Did you two have a good summer," Angelina asked. But before Harry or Melissa could answer her she spoke. "Listen, I've been made Gryffindor Quidditch Captain.

"Nice one," Harry and Melissa told their friend.

"We need a new Keeper since Oliver Wood left," Angelina told them. "Tryouts are on Friday at five o' clock and I want the whole team to be there."

"Okay," Harry said.

"We'll be there," Melissa assured her.

"Excellent," Angelina said. She then noticed Fred and George and spoke. "Hi guys."

"Hey," Fred and George said with a smile on their faces.

"Don't miss tryouts okay," Angelina said before leaving the Great Hall.

Just then Ron groaned as he looked over his course schedule that McGonagall had given him.

"What's wrong," Melissa asked as McGonagall handed her schedule to her.

"We've got History of Magic, double potions, Divination, and double Defense Against the Dark Arts," Ron said in a gloomy voice. "Binns, Snape, Trelawney, and that Umbridge woman all in the same day! How are those Skiving Snack Boxes coming along," Ron asked Fred, George, and Melissa.

"Ron," Hermione said in a shocked voice.

"Here we go," Melissa said to Fred and George as she rolled her eyes. "Oh I've been meaning to give this back to you," Melissa said as she reached into a pocket and took out the note Hermione had removed off of the bulletin board and gave it to Fred.

"What's this," Fred asked as he took the crumbled up piece of parchment from Melissa and started to unfold it.

"The note asking for testers for our Skiving Snack Boxes," Melissa told him. "Hermione removed it from the bulletin board. That's why I'm not too happy with her at the moment."

"Really now," Fred asked as he looked up at Hermione. "Why'd you remove it Granger?"

"Because you three can't advertise for testers on the Gryffindor notice board," Hermione told them sending a glare at Melissa.

"Says who," George asked her.

"Says Ron and me that's who," Hermione told them.

Fred and George turned to their brother with raised eyebrows. Ron's face went red and he turned to Hermione.

"Leave me out of this Hermione," Ron said.

"Don't worry Hermione you'll be singing a different tune soon enough," Fred told her as he pocketed the note.

"What are you talking about," Hermione asked him.

"This is your fifth year," Fred explained. "Your O.W.L year."

"Yeah I'm well aware of that," Hermione told him. "What's your point?"

"You'll be on your knees begging us for one of our Skiving Snack Boxes," George told her. "Almost everyone panics during their O.W.L year. But Fred and I managed to keep our spirits up."

"Yeah...you got what, three O.W.L.s each," Ron said with a smile on his face.

"Yep," Fred said. "But we've always felt that our futures lie outside of academic achievement. I mean really, you only need three subjects here that would come in handy for opening a joke shop."

"We seriously debated whether we were going to even bother coming back this year," George told them. "Seeing as how we've got...ouch," George suddenly said as Melissa kicked his foot underneath the table warning him that he'd better not mention the galleons that she and Harry had given them. "Now that we've got our O.W.L.s," George quickly said.

"I mean do we seriously need N.E.W.T.s," Fred asked. "Plus, we didn't think mum could take us leaving school early. Especially with Percy being the world's biggest prat."

"Not to mention we wanted to spend as much time with Melissa as we could before we left," George added as he put an arm around her.

"Exactly," Fred said. "We won't be able to see her as much after we've finished school."

"But we'd best get going," George said. "We want to try and sell a few extendable ears before class."

"Oh which reminds me," Fred said as he reached into a pocket and took out a small handful of sickles. "Here's your half Melissa. We sold some canary creams last night."

"Oh thanks," Melissa said as she took the money from him and pocketed it.

"No problem," Fred said with a smile on his face.

"Well see you later then," George said. He then kissed her and got to his feet and walked out of the Great Hall with Fred.

About ten minutes later the school bell rang and everyone started to clear out of the Great Hall. Harry, Melissa, Ron, and Hermione got up from their table and headed to their first class of the day which was Defense Against the Dark Arts.
