I swear to all deities that I should not be up at this hour. I have dress rehearsal after school until 6. Our play is on Sunday and Monday, and I am freaking out, Man. My lines are fine, as of now, it's the blocking. But that's for another rant.

And I want to thank all of you for reading the note to "Once in a Lifetime" and backing me up. *puffs up muscles as if I'm important**or buff in any way, shape or form**I'm really not*

Originally, I had an idea that involved Hermione and Bill, but not in that romantic way, just Bill being like "oh, hey, let me help you out here while Fred swoops in all ninja-like and wins your heart." I might post that later. But I decided to hold up to my promise to my friend and write a chapter about her – so, coincidentally, me and my other friend too.

The pairings are as follows:

Fred and Hermione

Izzy and George

(Lady) Kevin and Neville Longbottom (I just think that they'd be cute, if, you know, I could make it happen)

Me and (umm…I dunno. You tell me. *shrug*) [NOT RON THOUGH] [OR HARRY]


"Now," the redhead said briskly, standing in the doorway of the brightly colorful joke shop, talking to a girl with curly dark brown hair as she ignored her ginger friend, "You get one thing and stick with me. Clear?"

"Muddy, sir," she said before gasping and dashing off to a shelf, looking happily at the different potions that changed your physical appearance.

Ren sighed and followed her, pouting along until she got swept up with the pretty labels. Once she glanced up only to find that Isabella wasn't there, she gasped loudly and gaped at the nearly empty aisle.

"Holy Merlin – I've lost her!" she cried before dashing around the store, bumping into someone's shoulder and flailing to the ground. She popped back up quickly, frowning seriously at the air before saying, "I'm alright."

"Err, Reneé? Need any help or…anything?" Hermione asked, rubbing her sore shoulder.

"Two things – one, stop calling me by my whole name, I don't think anybody does that anymore, two – help me find Izzy," she said simply.

Hermione gasped at her fellow sixth year, "You let her go off alone?"

"I didn't let her, she just kind of…" she trailed off, looking for the right word, "Ran away…."

She grabbed the girl's wrist, leading around as they looked for either Fred or George for their help, "Where's Katherine? Doesn't she usually help you look after Izzy?"

"Lady Kevin?" she blinked before shrugging, "Flourish and Blotts – it's her time off, she needed to reload her reading ammo."

"So poetically put," Hermione snorted before tapping one of the twins on the shoulder, having him turn around and smile at them.

"Ah – Granger, and…" he arched an eyebrow at the short ginger girl, who was waving at him happily, "…you. What can I do for you?"

"Ren lost Izzy, and we need to find her before she does something Izzy-like," Hermione explained as he gaped.

"By the way, which twin are you again?" Ren asked, looking curiously at him to find any indication as to which Weasley twin this was.

"Fred, now come on – we just opened, we can't get shut down now," he said, leading the girls around the store.

After nearly thirty minutes of wandering, Ren having literally bumped into Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas nearly fifteen times, the three huffed and stared at the door to the backroom.

"I'm scared to open it," Ren admitted before shoving Fred forward slightly, "You do it!"

"Me?" he whirled on the girls, "Why me?"

"Your shop!" she argued, glaring at him as he glared at her.

"Oh stop it," Hermione huffed, "I'll do it."

She her hand touched the doorknob, Fred's hand stopped her as he looked at her seriously, "Don't. We don't know what's in there."

"Fred, I'm sure I'll be fine," she assured with a half-smile, turning the knob and opening the door before she screamed and her hands flew to her eyes, "I'm blind, I'm blind!"

Ren glared and marched past the blinded Hermione and the worried Fred, dragging out a ruffled looking Izzy by her shirt collar, "I keep telling you – stop molesting people!"

"It's not molesting if they like it!" Izzy said, blowing a kiss to the equally-ruffled looking George as Fred shook his head at his twin and held Hermione as she wept over the loss of her eyesight.

Katherine met them outside, seeing Ren's miffed expression and Izzy's disgruntled appearance, and sighed, "What'd she do this time?"

"More like who," Ren growled out as Izzy began to re-button her shirt.

"Oh please – you guys popped in way before we could get to the doing of who," she snorted, smiling at them as she shook her head.

"Who?" Katherine sighed, closing her book and looking at their friend dully, her dark blonde hair blowing lazily in the wind.

Izzy grinned and pointed back at the store they'd just come out of.

Katherine blinked before frowning at her, "If it was Fred, Hermione would've killed you. So…George?"

"Yah," she said, pleased with herself as Ren shook her head at the dark haired girl.

"I say no desserts for a month," she sniffed as Kevin turned to her, arching an eyebrow.

"Why'd she get away in the first place, Ren?" she asked.

"Yeah, Ren?" Izzy teased, "Why'd I get away in the first place?"

She blinked between the two before throwing her hands up in the air, "I got distracted! They had pretty colors on the labels! It wasn't my fault!"

Katherine only sighed and led the two down the streets of Diagon Alley, wondering why she had to babysit her two friends half of the time.


Two Years Later – After the Battle of Hogwarts

"Honestly – just use your bleeding crutches," Izzy said as Ren limped through the gate leading to the Burrow, the ginger rolling her eyes as Katherine agreed worriedly.

"I'm fine – I'll be sitting down throughout most of this party anyway, so why have to sit with crutches?" she snorted.

"Stupid stubborn ginger," Izzy grumbled as Katherine began to explain to Ren that she was magic and could just send the crutches somewhere or pull them back to her.

"What was that?" George, Ginny and Ron asked, frowning at her as she gaped at them.

"Oh look – I'm, I'm at the Burrow," she laughed nervously before shielding herself with her arms, "Don't take my soul, please!"

Ginny rolled her eyes and looked up at George, "Can't believe you like that thing."

"Can't believe I do either," he shrugged as his younger siblings walked off.

"Ahh – Katherine!" Neville said excitedly, rushing over to the blonde and grinning broadly, "I can't wait to tell you what I've found!"

"Ooh, can't wait to hear it!" she smiled back before glancing back at Ren and Izzy to make sure they weren't going anywhere.

"Hey, where's Hermione?" she asked after checking her friends.

Neville sighed, his shoulders drooping before he nodded to the house. About that time, Hermione came running out of the door, Fred after her before George grinned broadly at this.

"Freddie – what have I told you about molesting people?" he called out, attracting whatever attention they hadn't had before to them.

"It's not molesting if she likes it," he winked and grinned before slinging Hermione over his shoulder and taking her back into the house as she punched him in the back.

"Oh Merlin," Ren dragged her hands over her face, "Too many crazy people."

"And yer one o' 'em," Seamus smirked as he and Dean began to play with the crutches Katherine had Accioed for her.

"This coming from the guy with no eyebrows," Dean snickered as his friend glared at him.


I had fun with that. :) I might continue with us sometime again, but later on down the road, if you guys liked it.

Izzy is Izzy, Katherine is Katherine, I am…me. :/

Love,

Birdie
