As they walked down towards Hogsmeade with their families, Milly and Jessica chattered happily. They shopped in Hogsmeade for a while, Milly and Jessica buying sweets from Honeydukes.

Then they all travelled to muggle London, where they were going to spend the day.

After shopping for most of the morning, they went into a small Café for lunch.

"So, Jess, how's Hogwarts?" Ryan asked his sister.

"Awesome" she replied with a grin.

"Any new teachers since we left last year?" Robbie asked, directing his question at Milly, who shook her head, replying "no, but I wish Snape would leave!"

Ryan and Robbie chuckled, but Remus looked up from his menu. "Why? Has he been singling you out?" he asked, sounding frustrated.

Milly hastily shook her head. "It's nothing Uncle, honestly" she reassured him.

For the rest of the day, Jessica and Milly tried to avoid the subject of school, as far as Snape was concerned anyway.

The day drew to an end all too soon. As they arrived back at Hogwarts, Jessica hugged her brothers and her parents and Milly hugged her godfather and Robbie and Ryan before they all said goodbye and the girls headed up to their common room.

Surprisingly, the common room was empty, apart from Fred, George and Lee.

The three boys were playing Exploding Snap, but they stopped the game when Milly and Jessica joined them.

"How was your day?" Lee asked them.

They both smiled. "Pretty good" Jessica replied. Milly nodded in agreement.

The girls pulled out the bags of sweets which they had bought in Honeydukes and shared them around with the boys.

Fred dealt out the cards again, including Milly and Jessica in the game this time.

After several rounds of Exploding Snap, Milly and Jessica excused themselves to go and put their shopping away before tea.

As soon as the girls were out of earshot, George said in a low voice "they didn't mention who those boys were…"

Fred and Lee nodded.

"Time for Plan B then" Fred mused.

"We can bring it into action at teatime" Lee agreed.

Giggling and chatting in their dorm, Milly and Jessica were completely oblivious to the plans being made by the boys.
