It was March. The green was returning to the grass of the Hogwarts grounds and the snow was melting slowly, leaving the grounds with a certain sparkle that cannot be seen at any other time of the year. The songbirds were slowly returning and waking the students with their merry tunes in the mornings.
Nim sat at the breakfast table with her head lying on her arms. She had stayed up late studying for Professor Snape's class. It seemed that any good will she had earned with him had been lost over the course of the year. The past few days had been the most stressful of all the time she had spent at Hogwarts.
Fred and George walked in with mischievous grins on their faces and sat down on either side of her. "You know what today is?" they asked her in unison.
"Tuesday," she mumbled.
"Yes, but?" Fred asked expectantly.
"She doesn't know!" George said with a grin.
"Alright!" she said picking her head up off the table, "What day is it?"
"It's leprechaun day," Fred whispered.
"What?" she asked
"It's the day we go into the forbidden forest to find the leprechauns!" George exclaimed with glee.
"And you, Nim Whim, are cordially invited to join us!" Fred exclaimed.
She looked at them for a moment, "We have a test in Herbology tomorrow."
"It won't take long to find the leprechauns!" the twins exclaimed.
"Fine," she murmured, letting her head drop back onto the table.
