A/N another respond to the Princess and the Pea challenge, this one with a
twist ^-^, how I do love surprise endings. I would say it takes place
around the end of summer before the gang's 5th year. Oh yes, the **-ed part
is the overlapping area. In case you didn't understand. (It doesn't appear
till Chapter two)
The Sister and the Song: A spoof of the Princess and the Pea
Chapter One of Two
Harry sat down on the edge of his cot in Ron's room, the patched blanket sagging under his weight. He was spending another summer there and has spent most of the afternoon sighing and pacing the room.
"Something wrong?" Ron asked, entering his bedroom in search of Harry. Harry looked up at Ron and let out another heartbroken sigh.
"It's just... this girl..." Harry said sorrowfully. "I want to ask her out but I can't"
"It's not Hermione right?" Ron asked, his eyes narrowing at him threateningly.
"No. Someone else," Harry told him. Ron looked relieved and went to sit next to Harry.
"Well what is it you like about her?" Ron asked, trying to figure out who it was.
"Well, at first I thought she was rather ditzy but now, I know she isn't. She's funny, has the most mesmerizing eyes. She's smart and she isn't afraid of being around guys," Harry said dreamily. Ron started to make a mental list of girls at Hogwarts.
'Lavendar Brown, Susan Bones, Lisa Turpin, Parvati or Padma Patil, Pansy Parkinson, Terry Boot, Hannah Abbott.'
"Is she in our year?" Ron asked.
"No, not really," Harry said, his cheeks turning red as he didn't look Ron in the eyes.
Ron had to make a new list; Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, Eloise Midgeon, Jeniffer Derrick, Samantha Fawcett, Cho Chang.
That had to be it. Cho Chang. He's seen Harry look at Cho alot.
"Is she in our house?" Ron asked, trying to narrow down the search and see if his guess was right. Harry looked at Ron, frightened for a moment but calmed down.
"Oh wait, you mean in Gryffindor," Harry said, relieved. "I thought... never mind. But yeah, she is in Gryffindor."
That meant, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell or Alicia Spinet.
Ron looked at Harry, shocked. All three of them had boyfriends, Angelina and Alicia's being Ron's brothers.
"Wouldn't she have a boyfriend?" Ron asked. Harry looked at Ron oddly.
"No, I don't think she has a boyfriend. Why, do you know she has a boyfriend?" Harry asked urgently.
"What, why would I know?" Ron questioned Harry, confused.
"Well you're her brot...." Harry started to say but cut himself off. It was too late, and the damage was done.
"GINNY?" Ron asked, his eyes widen. "You like GINNY?"
"Yeah." Harry blushed, looking away. Ron stood up.
"I. I have to... Go think for a moment," Ron said in shock, leaving Harry alone.
As the Redhead left, Harry couldn't help but feel stupid for letting that slip. Ginny wasn't home for the week, she was visiting her friend Jennifer for the 6th time this summer.
When Ron entered the kitchen, a look like a deer in headlights on his face, Fred and George actually looked up at him, at each other, and back at Ron.
"What happened?" Fred asked Ron.
"You didn't play some prank on him did you?" George asked Fred.
"No. Not that I remember," Fred answered to George.
"Harry... likes..." Ron started to say, causing the two to stop and look at him eagerly. "Ginny." An eerie hush feel over the kitchen as all three of them sat in shock.
"Well we can't let Ginny date just ANYONE," Fred said.
"Yeah. She's just a little girl. I don't think she SHOULD date anyone," George added.
"But it IS Harry," Ron reminded them.
"Yeah, but non-the-less, we have to make sure he's worthy enough to date her," Fred informed Ron.
"Yeah, she IS our little sister," George again added. ((Eh.. George is in shock still so he's only adding things))
"Well what should we do?" Ron asked out loud. The brothers all sat in silence for a few minutes until Ron piped up.
"Hermione was telling me the other day about a Muggle fairy tale. About a queen trying to find a real princess for her son to marry. She preformed some tests to see if the girls were real princesses," Ron explained.
"What were the tests?" George asked eagerly.
"Erm... I don't rightly remember," Ron admitted, blushing.
"Oh great," Fred cried out, his arms going up in defeat.
"Well, I recall something about a room with a big bed... and pee," Ron muttered.
"Pee?" the twins asked in unison, a look of disgust on their faces.
"Don't ask me. Muggles made it up," Ron informed them.
"Well... I think we might tweak it a bit", Fred thought out loud.
"Yeah, if by a bit you mean ALOT", George added.
"Well, we could um.... do something at Diagon Alley. Charm a doorway, so we can tell if the person passing through is worthy.", Fred pondered.
"Yeah. That's great. We can tell Harry we are going down there until Hogwarts starts. And then we can charm his room so that if he isn't worthy nothing happens, but if he is worthy it lets out a certain song.", George added excitedly.
"Great", Ron agreed. "But will Mum let us go?"
"Let you go where?", Molly asked, walking into the room just then.
"Go to Diagon Alley so we can get our supplies and then stay there until Hogwarts begins," Ron told her. She peered at the three; trying to read whatever mischief they were planning.
"Alone?" she asked suspiciously.
"Well, unless you wanted to come. We know what we need and have been saving our money. Harry would be with us and Ginny could join us once she's back from Jennifer's house. You would have us all out of your hair 2 weeks sooner than normal", Fred told her in the spur of the moment.
"Well, I don't see the harm in that. But I'll make sure to tell Tom to keep a CLOSE eye on you all. I will send Ginny when she comes home.", she informed them before going into the other room to make the plans with Tom VIA fire. Once out of range, the 3 let out loud cheers. All the noise drew Harry down ((eh.... some how the noise doesn't get into the room right next to the kitchen but travels all the way to Ron's room... It's magic. Or possible Harry was just on his way down anyways))
"What's all the commotion?", Harry asked, smiling at the cheerful boys.
"We are going to Diagon Alley un-chaperoned", George informed him; casting an eye to the other two to make sure they didn't let anything slip.
"Wicked", Harry agreed and they all started cheering again.
