Harry caught Ron's bag still chuckling and clutching his side with his free
hand.
Hermione rolled her eyes and spotted the Weasley twins walking across the open courtyard. She blushed a deep scarlet and grabbed Ron's bag from Harry before walking quickly away.
Dean looked quizzically at Harry who shrugged as if he didn't know what was wrong with her. Harry stopped and waited for the twins to catch up leaving dean to hurry along to potions on his own.
"Hey Harry. Where's our Ickle Ronniekins?" asked Fred standing on tiptoe to try and see over the crowd.
"Probably trying to beat up Seamus." shrugged Harry walking slowly down the corridor so they could talk.
Fred cracked up laughing.
"That I've got to see," grinned George sneakily pushing a note into Harry's pocket before running off down the corridor.
Fred wiped the tears from his eyes and looked worriedly at Harry.
"What's wrong Fred? You look like Zonko's has gone out of business or something," said Harry.
"Harry I think something's wrong with George." sighed Fred.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"Well because, yesterday I saw him doodling hearts and initials on his favourite subjects book. Then when I mentioned doing a prank on Snape he. He.He..." stuttered Fred not being able to finish his sentence.
"He what?" asked Harry.
"He said he didn't think it was a reasonable way to spend quality time and suggested going to the library!" sobbed Fred.
Harry looked awkwardly at Fred who was sobbing his eyes out like he'd lost a best friend.
"Oh come on Fred. Did you say the library?" asked Harry processing what Fred had said.
Fred sobbed louder as though his world was collapsing.
Harry gasped out loud before starting to laugh.
"What the hell's so funny Harry? I'm losing my twin here and you think its funny?" asked Fred shaking his head at Harry and look at him like he was nuts.
"It's nothing. Look I'll meet you at the Quidditch pitch after potions. I've got a hunch about George's weird mood," said Harry after he'd calmed down.
"o.k. I'd better hurry up and get to Muggle studies before Professor Sintra gives me a detention." said Fred before he ran down the corridor.
Harry ran to potions and was lucky that Snape hadn't arrived yet since he'd had to take over a Herbology lesson.
Ron was standing at one side with Hermione soothing a bruised wrist and bruised knuckles.
Seamus was at the other side with lavender, Parvati, dean and Neville with a blacking eye and scratch across his lip.
The Malfoys weren't there yet, in fact none of the Slytherins were. So Harry sighed a sigh of relief before he went to Ron.
"I can't believe you did that Ron," sighed Hermione examining Ron's hand.
"Yeah well at least I taught him a lesson," said Ron flinching a bit.
"Yeah and I see he taught you a lesson too." smiled Harry.
"Oh ha ha. When did you become the worlds worst comedian?" joked Ron.
"About the same time you became the worlds worst fighter." smirked Harry.
At that minute the Slytherins appeared followed by Snape.
"Right Everyone inside NOW!" yelled Snape throwing open the door.
The whole class walked in quickly under Snapes evil glare.
Harry was about to sit with Ron and Hermione when a paper ball hit the back of his head. Harry turned round angrily and saw Brooke smiling flirtatiously and pointing to a seat she'd saved for him next to her.
Harry looked apologetically at his friends before moving his stuff to the back right corner next to Brooke.
He sat down and Brooke smiled at Blaise Zabini who was sat at the next table.
"Now listen up today we are making a advanced shrinking potion! Get the ingredients to a healing potion, put them in a cauldron and add the two most crucial ingredients of a sleeping potion." explained Snape his eyes glittering and kept sneaking glances at Harry's seat.
Harry sighed miserably and put his hand in his pocket to get out his quill. He pulled out a piece of folded up parchment.
It read Harry, Look I know that from your talk with Fred you can tell I've changed a bit and I want to explain my purpose of this. Please don't say a word of this to anyone not even Fred. Meet me at the Gryffindor common room after you've seen Fred. Later George.
Harry sighed and quickly put the note in the back of his potions textbook.
A mouse hole lead into the next classroom that Harry knew for a fact was temporally being used as a muggle studies classroom since the old one had a red cap problem.
Harry wrote a quick reply and rolled it up to fit into the mouse hole.
The reply read Hey George, Got a hunch but don't if it's why you are acting so weird. See you at the common room. Harry By the way Hermione says hi.
Harry waited till Snape set them to work to push the paper through the hole and into the next classroom. He then smiled to him self before starting his potion.
