Chapter 12
Rose heard Narcissa Malfoy scream as she and the rest of her family slid to the floor, Stunned. Rose was not happy.
"Sirius Jonathon Black!" she screamed. "I told you NEVER to come up here! What if a student sees you? And what if those gits had seen you just now?"
"First of all, Rosie, please take off your cloak. And second, I came to see you. Dumbledore owled me about your scar," he responded. "And you really don't look very pretty when you're angry. Your face gets really red and puffy." Her godfather smirked.
"Just because my scar tingles doesn't mean you can come right up to Hogwarts's front door and come barreling into my room!" Her face could have fried an egg.
"According to Professor Dumbledore, it was more than a tingle." Suddenly, the other Golds jumped into the room, wands out. Several other faces promptly turned deep red. Everyone started yelling at Sirius at once for scaring the crap out of them. He started looking smothered.
"If anything's going to help the Ministry find me, it's you all yelling at me! They can probably hear you down at the offices!" It became noticeably quieter after that. But Rose realized another problem.
"What are we going to do with these?" She kicked Draco Malfoy's foot.
"Tie them up?" Ron suggested.
"Throw them out the window?" Harry said.
"Don't kill them!" Ally protested loudly.
They burst into a heated argument. Hermione didn't join in.
"If all of you half-wits would just be quiet so I can hear myself think!" Hermione screeched. She thought for a moment. "We can tie them to some of the chairs in the common room. Somebody could go get Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape. If they wake up, we Stun them again."
Rose nodded her head approvingly. That was what she had been thinking. "Fred. George. Alex. Carry these back to the common room and conjure some ropes." They nodded and dragged the Malfoys out the door. "The Patil twins and Ally can get the professors." The Patils and Ally nodded. "We'd better work fast before they wake up. And if any of the other Gryffindors wake up, we're dead."
They nodded again. Rose smiled. There were uncountable advantages to being a teacher.
*~*~*
Hermione followed the Weasly twins and Alex. She was going to conjure the ropes. She had altered the Tie Spell a few years back to make the ropes stronger. Unfortunately, the ropes occasionally strangled the one they were tying. Oh well. She was sure she could get them off the Malfoys in time.
She stopped. They had reached the common room. The twins and Alex dumped their loads on the couches. Hermione pulled out her wand.
"Roplionus Maximus!" she said.
Steel ropes the size of her arm wrapped themselves around the wrists, ankles, and torsos of the Malfoys, tying them to the couch. Fred and George patted them down, looking for their wands. They gave them to Hermione to hold, who tucked them into an inside pocket she had sewn into her robes. Now, where was Ron? She wanted to hold his hand some more. Hermione turned around to look for him and nearly ran him over. He must have followed her up.
"Hi, Mione," he said. "Are you okay?" Her face was very red.
"Oh...yeah. I'm fine," she said.
"'Mione, I know this isn't a good time to ask you this but...do you wanna go out with me?"
She nearly squealed. "Yes! How about when we get rid of that?" She motioned to the Malfoys.
"Sure. Tomorrow afternoon. Meet me in the Great Hall after class." He walked back downstairs. Hermione turned around, where the Weasly twins and Alex watched with interest.
"Ooo, little Ronnykins finally has a girlfriend," George said, grinning.
"It's just one date!" Hermione defended herself.
"Speaking of dates....." Fred said. "George and I won't be able to make Rose's birthday party tomorrow. We're going to Hogsmeade with a couple of hot chicks." He looked over at Alex, who blushed. "They've promised to show us some Beater moves afterward."
Hermione squealed. "Oh that's so cute!" she shrieked. "You two with identical girlfriends!"
"It's just one date," the twins said, grinning.
They started talking about what they were going to do on their dates. They were so involved in their conversation they didn't notice the beetle that was sitting on the ropes binding the Malfoys.
