79. Training
**Hermione's POV**
"Did you guys see the new rule?" George asked.
"What rule?" I asked.
"The rule that said **'ALL STUDENTS WILL SUBMIT TO QUESTIONING ABOUT SUSPECTED ILLICIT ACTIVITIES'**" Fred explained.
"Oh, ya. I saw that" Neville said.
"It was completely ridiculous," Cho said.
"She questioned me earlier" Nigel commented,
"How did it go?" Harry asked.
"Not that bad. Just asked me a few questions 'about things I might have seen that involved 'inappropriate' activities'" Nigel said putting air quotes.
"That's bloody brilliant. A few more questions, who knows who might rat us all out" Ron said.
"Come on. We should get back to training" I said and I went with Ginny to practice the disarming charm.
**Fred's POV**
"Expelliarmus!" I yelled disarming George.
"If I could only do that to you" George said.
"Not a 'good job'?" I asked with a smile.
"No. You're just trying to look good for Hermione" George whispered.
"Whatever, Gred. Care to do another?" I asked with a smile.
"Sure, why not, Forge?" He asked.
"Let's go." I said as I watched George pick up his wand.
Now, focus on a fixed point and try again" Harry instructed Neville.
"Expelliarmus!" Neville said flicking his wand and nothing came out.
"Okay. Everyone, we'll be practicing a spell called Levicorpus. Now, Levicorpus is sort of like the levitation charm, but it can lift people. Now, I need Nigel over here and Cho" Harry said as Cho and Nigel went up to him.
"Cho, I need you to do an upward flick and say Levicorpus, okay?" Harry asked.
"Okay. Levicorpus" Cho said as she flicked her wand upward causing Nigel to float.
"Everyone, try to do it on your own" Harry said as he went to help some others.
"Levicorpus" I casted on Colin Creevey.
**Hermione's POV**
"Hermione, can you help out Fred?" Harry asked.
"Sure" I said walking over to the twins.
"Hey, Hermione," George said, watching Fred lift up Colin.
"A little higher, Fred," I said, taking his hand and lifting it up just a little.
He looked at George while he smirked.
Oh Merlin. I forgot Fred likes me. How can I forget?
"Um- Thanks, 'Mione" Fred said nervously.
"No problem" I said with a smile.
"Whoa!" Nigel shrieked as Cho dropped him while being distracted by Harry.
I turned around with Fred and George quickly.
"Of course" George said smiling.
"I'm okay. I'm okay" Nigel said brushing away the dirt on his uniform.
"Ah," Colin said, falling to the floor.
"Sorry, Colin," Fred said, smiling as I hit him on the chest lightly.
"Okay, more tomorrow everyone. Come on" Harry said as he opened the secret door and we fled to our common rooms.
I sat on the couch with Ginny.
"We better go, you guys-" George started.
"We have a little present for someone" Fred said evilly and he and George walked out with a box.
I looked at Ginny and she shrugged.
**George's POV**
"You seriously dropped Colin. You're like Cho!" I said, reminding Fred of what happened to her and Harry.
"Am not," Fred said, putting the box on Filch's seating place.
"Are so" I fought back.
"Here comes Filch. Come on. Let's check if he eats it" Fred said as he ran to the corner with me hot on his trail.
Filch saw the candy and he opened the box while taking a seat. Fred smiled as Filch ate so much of the candy.
A second later, Filch's face was full of pimples and he shrieked while he ran to Umbridge's office.
"Our job is done" I said with a smile and Fred and I headed for the common room.
"What did you two do?" Hermione asked.
"We slipped Filch some candy that was charmed with the Pimple Jinx" Fred said with a smirk.
"You two should have seen him. He was freaking out!" I said with a laugh.
"You guys are idiots. We're going to sleep now" Ginny said and she and Hermione left.
