A/N: A more in character Fred Weasley coming up!


~*~*~*~


"Fred Weasley ... planning revenge?" Angelina asked smiling to herself, "This is gonna be good..."


"Oh yeah," George agreed, "I think my brother is becoming himself again. This is going to be big!"


"I hope so," Angelina confessed, "Fred hasn't been himself, because of Katie of course."


"Don't worry bout them anymore..." George said, "They kissed last night, Katie told me."


"She told you? George, that's great!"


"They are a perfect couple," he admitted, "The only thing is, Katie is making him so serious."


"About time..." Angelina joked, but seeing George's look she added "No, he'll always be who he is."


"Yeah, I think so too."


~*~*~*~*


"What are you up to?" Katie asked seeing Fred sitting in the back of the Common Room.


"Nothing," he said putting away his notes, "It's just some homework."


"Oh," she said looking at him oddly, "So anything else up?"


"Not really," he said looking up, "So, how have you been? Remember anything else?"


"Not much," she admitted, "I think the things I got yesterday night were enough of a shock to me."


"Shock to me too," he said without thinking. She laughed at him embarrassedly.


"So," she said, "Got any idea about your revenge plot?"


"Sort of," he said thinking, "I might have an idea."


"Gonna tell me?" she asked.


"Now why would I do that?" he asked, "You'll find out with everyone else..."


"Aw come on!" she said, "Aren't I special? Don;t I get to know first."


"Just tell Angelina to meet us in the common room after hours, then we'll be ready."


"But you won't tell me now?"


"Not a chance..."


"I'm leaving then," she said softly.


"Fine," he joked, "See you later then?"


"Sure," Katie replied, "I gotta be somewhere anyway."


~*~*~*


Katie did have some place to be. She wanted to report the injustice that Professor Snape did to her. She, unlike her friends, couldn't just accept that type of power abuse. She had all ready gotten an appointment with the Gryffindor Head of House.


"Come in," said Professor McGonagall. She was thinking about this appointment. A Gryffindor student coming in to complain about Professor Snape? How many times did this happen in one year? What was his problem with the students this time.


Katie entered timidly. "My my..." Professor McGonagall said, "Aren't you the girl who had the..."


"Accident?" Katie asked sitting down, "Yes that's me."


"Well, what happened?"


"It was in Potions the other day, well... you know what happened to me, well Professor Snape didn't even care to take that into consideration. He asked me a question and I tried to explain why I couldn't answer. He said it was my fault, and he insulted me in front of everyone. Angelina, and George... and Fred all stood up for me, Fred especially..."


"What did he do?" McGonagall asked alarmed.


"Took sixty points from Gryffindor and gave Fred Weasley detention, just for being so comforting and wonderful, he protected me, so Snape gave him a week of detention."


"So that's why my house has been behind in points," she muttered so low that Katie did not hear, but then she raised her voice.


"Miss Bell... it seems you have some extraordinary friends."


"I do," Katie said smiling, "I really do."


"Don't worry about Mister Weasley and those detentions. As Deputy Headmistress, I can revoke detentions from any Professor. As for the points... hmm... I cannot do anything. Yet, you can. Tell me more about Mister Weasley's help since your accident."


~*~*~*~


"Come on," Angelina whispered, "Fred, what is the plan..."


"Can I say something first?" Katie asked.


"I thought you were dying to know Katie," George said, "I know I am... this is the first plan Fred hasn't included me in."


"I have to say it first," Katie insisted, "Fred, you don't have detention this week. I did arrange that at least, as my thanks."


"Wow," he said, "What a surprise! Well Katie... I sort of have a surprise for you that ties in with our revenge. I have been developing a potion myself, one that's gonna get your memory back I'm sure."


They all were excited at Fred's announcement. "How Fred?" Angelina asked.


"It's all with Snape's help," Fred said mischeviously, "He taught me about the memory loss potion and it's powerful antidote. I just modified the antidote a bit. It's almost done."


Katie threw her arms around Fred. "You are so smart..." she said softly.


"Once ya got all your memories back, you'll take that comment back Katie."


"No I won't..." she insisted.


"OK the big revenge plot now?" George asked impatiently.


"Well," Fred admitted, "I got the idea from Katie actually. She reminded me of my messed up joke that made her lose her hair. What if we made that effect could be made a little less temporary."


"I can do that!" George yelled smiling.


"Oh my... that's terrible Fred," Angelina cracked up laughing.


"He deserves it," Fred said slyly.


So it was arranged, that night in the common room, that Snape was going to go bald sooner than he thought.


~*~*~


"Perfect spell," Katie said, "but to get it put on Snape?"


"Yes my lovely assistant," Fred said, "It is very difficult and does involve sneaking in on Snape when he's asleep."


"Ah.. Fred? You sure?"


"I've done something like it before... er ... once. To the Slytherin Quidditch team."


"Oh, I'll help you," she said nervously. Truth was, she felt a little bad breaking rules when Professor McGonagall was planning something for Fred. Ever since she told McGonagall about all the wonderful help Fred gave her, she and McGonagall have been planning a speech to talk about what he did at the upcoming ball no one knew about yet. Fred was also going to be awarded sixty points for Gryffindor. That was one thing Katie had been keeping secret.


"Tonight," Fred said, "At Two in the morning Okay?"


"Okay..." she giggled slightly nervous.


~*~*~*~


It was time for the plan to meet. Angelina laughed nervously and George had to quiet her.


They walked slowly to the office of Professor Snape. "You know where he sleeps?" Katie asked.


"Yeah," Fred laughed, "I had a detention in my 3rd year cleaning out the old potion bottles. I "wandered" into his room on accident. Down a trap door below the dungeon."


"Ah," George said, "That's why Snape accused me of putting dungbombs in his private quarters two years ago."


"Oops..."Fred said grinning.


Snape lived in a very dark room. Katie squinted, but she still could not see anything at all.


"We better not all go in there," Fred said, "George, can you do a silencing charm, like we learned with Flitwick?"


"Why can't you, Fred?" George asked quietly.


"Do I look like I paid attention in class?" he said, "I may get things, but you pay more attention than I do."


"Fine," he said, "Angelina ... help me?"


"Ok," she said happily. Before George could say another word, she took her wand out of her robes and said the charm.

"Wow," Katie said, "At least we know you pay attention Angelina."


"Katie, Fred," Angelina said smiling, "You take this, go on now. George and I will watch out for anyone who'd come along."


"Okay," Katie said and followed Fred into the dark room. He pointed his wand up in the air and said "Florgebu." It sounded more like some kind of joke word than a spell. Yet, it was effective. Even in the dark Katie could see it happening. They laughed silently looking at Snape sleeping, and wondered how he'd react when he woke up.


"What kinda spell was that?" Katie asked


"I was twelve," Fred defended, "Had no clue that it would do something... should be famous. Word sounded funny to me."


"Florgebu to you," Katie said giggling slightly.


As they all split up Fred smiled, "See you all in Potions first class of the morning."
