Good news though I am going home for almost a month and we just got Road Runner so updating will happen more this month! Yeah! Well enough of me talking I will now because I am sure you want to get on to the story.

Happy Reading!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 18

Hermione, Ginny, and the twins made their way upstairs to clean what ever damage the twins had caused in the bathroom. Hermione was scared to walk into a room where the twins were left alone, with chemicals (the cleaning supplies). When they reached the bathroom Hermione saw one of the worse mess she had ever see, but then again she has never seen the twin's room.

After a quick survey of the room Hermione noticed there was water EVERYWHERE, and a strong aroma of bleach was coming from the walls but then again she saw the once all periwinkle blue walls have white blotches on it. Among the water were bars of soap, shampoo, and conditioner, not to mention all the contents of the bottles in the water. On the sink looked and smelled to be strawberry lotion. The tub was filled with tons of towels, which were the only dry things in the room. Oranges and their peels were laying all through out the bathroom.

Hermione looked up at the twins, wearing a mirrored image to Ginny, "What in Merlin's name happened here?"

"Well Fred and I decided we should go ahead and put water everywhere so we could do everything at once."

"Then we took the cleaning supplies and put that all over the floor."

"What cleaning supplies?" Ginny interrupted Fred.

"The soap, shampoo, and conditioner of course." George looked at them like they had grown two heads when they started to laugh hysterically at his comment. "What' so funny?"

"Well" Hermione began, "Let us ask you something first.ok?"

Fred looked at his twin who shrugged his shoulders; Fred looked back at Hermione and nodded his head. Hermione smirked, "Why did you use those products to clean the bathroom?"

George looked at Hermione and Ginny, studying them before he answered. "Because they are cleaning products in the bathroom. They clean us fairly well, why wouldn't they clean the bathroom?"

Hermione and Ginny couldn't stop from laughing, they didn't mean to but how clueless could you be? Ginny finally stopped laughing, "Well mistake number 1, why is their bleach on the walls and lotion on the sink?"

"Well the bleach was in the cabinet underneath the sink and it looked and smelled like a cleaning product so we figured why not? But we thought it would be good to use it on the wall. Was the lotion the thing on the sink?" Ginny and Hermione nodded their heads so Fred continued where he had left off, "We were not sure what it was but it was in here so we decided to use it to clean the sink."

Hermione was the one to ask the next question, "And the oranges and their peels came from where?"

"Well couple of weeks ago we were at Lee Jordan's house we were watching the muggle visiontele and a commercial came on for something called orange clean and it was talking about oranges cleaning things so we tried it. It worked really well on the commercial. After we cleaned everything we were going to use the towels to wipe it all up, but we never got that far."

Ginny and Hermione just shook their heads at the antics of the two older boys, "We really shouldn't let any male I'm related to clean anything, ever!" Hermione nodded her head to show her agreement with the youngest Weasley. "Can you UM fix this Hermione? I mean you are the best witch Hogwarts have ever seen!" Fred and George pleaded.

"Well it would be against the rules to use magic over the summer. I could loose my place at Hogwarts. And you shouldn't use it either. What if you were to be caught and expelled? This is your last year I mean what if you couldn't finish it. With NEWTS this year also."

There was twin groans heard from the twins (kee hee sorry had to say that). "Fine Hermione we will clean it by hand." So the four of them cleaned the bathroom for a good two hours before they were complete. "Wow I am never cleaning the muggle way again. That's hard work. How do muggles do it?" Fred looked at Hermione, her being the only muggle in the room.

"Usually they don't have that much to clean up at one time but even so, no muggle cleaning is not a fun thing to do but it is not that hard to do if you know how."

Ginny looked up at the older children before speaking, "What about the walls? Mum is not going to like what you did to them and you can not muggle clean that." Everyone else looked at the walls and sure enough they were still all screwed up. "Well I hadn't thought of that but we need to fix it. I know go and ask you father to come here."

George looked at Hermione with one of those looks that said, 'You must have lost your mind some where in last few minutes' but he went to find his father anyways. When Mr. Weasley reached the bathroom his jaw hit the floor when he saw the walls. "What in the world happened here I mean how did you do this?" He went to continue but Hermione stopped him.

"Mr. Weasley I assure you that you do not want to know how this is done but I can also assure you that you do not want to be around when your wife finds this mess considering you were the one to let the twins in here alone. Now there is a simple spell to clean this up but I myself cannot use it because I am still not of age. So if I tell the spell to you will you use it to clean this up?" All of the children's eyes were resting on Mr. Weasley waiting for his response.

"Alright Hermione you sold me. What's the spell?" Hermione muttered the spell to Mr. Weasley and he then preformed it and the walls were instantly the bleached walls became periwinkle blue again. "Thank you so much dad you are the best!" Fred hugged his father around the middle.

"Very well boys just don't let this happen again." The two people in question nodded their heads and ran out of the room downstairs, and all other followed the exited youth to the living room where they found the rest of the house, minus Mrs. Weasley. "Where is Molly?"

Lavender looked up from her potions book, "In the kitchen cooking Harry's birthday cake. We are studying since start of the term is not that far away." Hermione looked almost shocked, "You guys are studying? With out anyone telling you to? Amazing."

"It was Ron's idea. He said we need to be prepared because we have OWLS this year." Hermione turned her shocked gaze to her boyfriend, "Are you ok Ron?"

Ron looked up from Charms homework and nodded his head; "I figured if we studied now we could play quidditch later on in the week without you bothering us so much." "Ron you are insufferable! But at least you are studying so I can't complain very much can I? Well I can join you then because I am behind this summer, I haven't even started on my OWLS studying schedule. What would professor McGonagall think of me?" Hermione hurried upstairs to get her books, missing the looks of disbelieving looks her classmates gave her.

Katie looked at Ron and Harry, "She's already done with her regular work? Holidays just started a month ago." Ron and Harry just nodded their heads. Hermione settled herself on the floor and began to work on her studying.
