AN: Welcome back everyone!
HOLY ROWLING THOU ART IN ENGLAND! YOU ALL ARE AMAZING! MCGONAGALL'S GIRL REACHED 101 REVIEWS?! AND ALMOST 200 FAVORITES?! I CAN'T FATHOM, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, JUST…AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *foams at the mouth and passes out* THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I LOVE this story! I LOVE each and every one of you, whether you've been reading since day 1, if you JUST started and binged up to date, or if you're reading this at some point in the near/far future (how is it if you're a future reader, by the way? Can we understand canine speech? Did they figure out how to bring people back from the dead and started a zombie apocalypse? Did Trump/Hillary win? Is America dead like the Roman Empire? Let me know in a review!) This story is SUCH a blast to write! I can't wait for y'all to see what I have in store for POA, OotP, and DH, but those are SO far in the future, so be sure to stick around!
ANYWAY, for those of you who give a flobber worm's left arse cheek, I am a Florida girl, born and raised (on the playground is where I spent none of my days, chilling out, relaxing, chillaxing all cool, been reading some HP outside of the school) and we just had a near brush with DEATH because Matthew was a Cat. 4 hurricane. He decided, thankfully, that where I live is too boring to destroy, so he left us (MOSTLY) alone. But, still, my family evacuated, so that's why I was able to get this chapter out to you all. Yes it is SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER than the last one, but I wanted to leave it at this cliff hanger because screw having a nice ending to a chapter in October!
ALSO: I wanted to remind y'all that I now have a Tumblr. I'll post updates/news concerning McGonagall's Girl, or any other things I write, on there. I'll also take requests and all that jazz! If you want to follow me on there, feel free! If not, there isn't much else to say, I guess.
Now then, SHOUT OUT TIME!

Divergentprincess: *squee* I KNOW! Fred just seems like the awkward sort of guy when it comes to his own emotions, you know? Like Hikaru in Ouran High School Host Club; he knows how he feels, but is unsure how to process it. He's better than Tamaki, but far worse than his twin brother. Arden recognizes what she feels and how she SHOULD deal with it, but is inept because I make her that way! Ah, teen love drama is so much fun to write!
So, let's get on with the chapter!
The sly Ravenclaw smirked while her partners in pranking cackled. Arden was, once again, in the rafters above the seventh floor hallway. The twins were distracting Malfoy and his gang (Crabbe and Goyle), while Arden was on lookout duty. She had heard that, not only was Malfoy bullying Ron, but he also called Hermione a "Mudblood". While Arden may be a Ravenclaw through and through, she was also fiercely protective of her friends.
The twins gave each other a look and nodded. Fred glanced up at Arden, waiting for her confirmation that they were still in the clear. After looking in every direction to confirm that no one was coming, Arden nodded, transfiguring into her animagus.
Fred nodded at George, while Arden readied herself. The twins lifted their wands and cast, "Weaselbum Levipendo!" The three Slytherins cowered while Arden swooped over them and flapped her wings to create a breeze.
The first years were confused, they didn't feel anything; "What did you Weasel-brains do to us?" Malfoy accused.
Arden grinned, 'Wouldn't they like to know?'
Fred and George simultaneously said, "We wouldn't want to be you right now."
Fred teased, "If you don't get the counter curse in the next ten minutes-"
"Your pants will fuse to your…you know." George finished with a devious leer.
The first years' eyes immediately filled with terror, and they screamed their way down the stairs to the hospital wing.
Arden fluttered down, chirping in laughter along the way, and landed on Fred's shoulder. He and George were doubled over, clutching their stomachs as they laughed.
Suddenly, Arden's falcon ears picked up the telltale footstep pattern of none other than Severus Snape. She chirped in alarm, flying off of Fred's shoulder, beckoning the twins to follow her. She flew down the hall, parallel to the route Snape was taking. She circled back and forth in front of a tapestry, waiting for her ginger boys to catch up. She began to panic, the only staircases were perpendicular to their current route, and no doubt Snape would catch them if they tried to escape. He had, more than likely, seen Malfoy and his goons, and was after them for revenge. They had to run for it.
'Need a place to hide, need a place to hide, need a place to hide!' that mantra was the only thing aboard her train of thought. Just as the twins caught up, Arden noticed a door…
AN:
Well that's the chapter!
