"Why would there be photos of my mum and her friends in my room under a floorboard?" asked Harry, looking at the pictures over and over again.
"Maybe this was her room." Suggested Ginny.
"Hmmm…I don't know actually." Said Harry thoughtfully. Then he stood up.
"I'm going to ask my Aunt, I'll be right back." And he disappeared through the door and went downstairs.
"Aunt Petunia?" he asked, poking his head in the kitchen. The Dursleys were sitting there, watching television. Dudley stared determinedly at the TV while Uncle Vernon said "Oh it's you." Aunt Petunia looked at him.
"Well, I was wondering, is the room I'm in now, was that my mum's room?"
Aunt Petunia pursed her lips. Then she nodded.
"Okay, I was just wondering. Good-bye, then." And he went up to his room again. When he had closed the door behind him, he said "Yup, this room was my mum's." Cho had finally come out of the bathroom and was looking curiously at the pictures.
"She was pretty, your mum." Said George.
"Yeah." Said Ron and Fred.
"Well, I can see now why everybody says Harry's got her beautiful eyes." Said Ginny teasingly. Harry looked at his feet and blushed.
"I think she kind of looks like you, Gin." He said.
"I think she does too, except for the eyes." Said Ron looking at Ginny as though he had never seen her before.
"I think I'm going to check with Professor Dumbledore if he knows why I can suddenly do telepathy." Harry decided suddenly. The others nodded.
~Professor Dumbledore?~
~Yes, I'm here.~
~Do you know why I can suddenly do telepathy?~
~Well, my guess is that this is one of your extraordinary powers, not one that you received from Voldemort, but it has been hidden all these years by the powers you received from Voldemort, because they were stronger then.~
~So they're not anymore?~
~It seems not.~
~Why not?~
~Well, I believe that because in the Department of Mysteries, he took some of it back when he possessed you.~
~But that was a year ago!~
~Yes, but he hasn't used them until now, and that is why they have been drained a little from you and now your powers are stronger.~
~But can I still speak Parselmouth?~
~That I do not know. We shall have to find out.~
~How come I have this power?~
~Well, it runs in the Potter generation, but it has skipped a few generations.~
~So my dad didn't have it?~
~No.~
~Oh. Okay. Well, good-bye, Professor.~
~Good-bye Harry~
"So?" asked Ron eagerly.
"Yeah, well, it's one of my powers that has been hidden by the power Voldemort (there was a shudder from Ron and Cho) transferred in me…but he was sort of connected to me again when he possessed me in the Department of Mysteries, and now he's been using his powers, so it drained out of me a little, and now my power has come to the surface." Explained Harry. Cho gazed at him with open mouth.
"So he possessed you in the Department of Mysteries?" she asked. "Why were you in the Department of Mysteries?"
Harry looked at her coldly. "That," He said icily "is not something I want to talk about now." Cho flushed and looked at her feet.
"So what are we going to do now?" asked Fred uncertainly, breaking the nasty silence that had fallen upon the room.
"er…how about Exploding Snap?" said George.
"NO!" Ginny yelled happily. Everybody stared at her with wide eyes. "It's Exploding Snape!" she corrected, giggling. Everybody still stared at her. She giggled and everybody burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha!"
"hihihi!"
"Hohoho!"
"What was that? It's not Christmas!" yelled Fred.
"What if I want it to be?" retorted George, picking up a pillow.
"PILLOWFIGHT!" screamed Ginny, picking up a pillow and throwing it on Ron, who fell on his bed.
"Whhhaaa!" shrieked a getting-hit-by-Ginny-with-pillows Cho.
"Whooooo!!" whooped Fred, jumping on his bed and hitting George on the head with a pillow.
"Come here!" bellowed Ron, running after Harry who was dashing between the beds.
"Arggghhhhh!" hollered Harry when Ron grabbed him around the legs. He fell with a THUMP on the bed, and Ron began hitting him with a nearby pillow. Suddenly Ginny came out of nowhere and started drumming on Ron with her pillow.
"Ahhhhh! Ginny!" he yelled, dropping his pillow and putting his arms over his head. Harry laughed and grabbed the pillow Ron dropped and started striking Ginny with it. She turned around and then Harry's pillow exploded.
"How?…" Harry stuttered, looking around while the whole room was full of floating feather. Then he spotted Fred in a corner with his wand out, shaking with silent laughter. (George was currently hitting Cho mercilessly with his pillow).
"FRED!" he bellowed, advancing on him.
"Haha! Haha! Haha!"
Fred laughed, and he raised his wand once more, suddenly the floor disappeared and they were on a giant pillow, it seemed. Harry fell, as there was no hard floor to walk on.
The scene suddenly froze (no not magically). George was looking at Fred with his pillow in mid-air, ready to hit Cho who had raised her arms in front of her face and was half-lying on her bed. Harry had fallen down and had an expression of utmost surprise on his face. Ginny was on top of him (she had fallen too when the floor became a pillow) and had her mouth open in surprise. Ron was crouching on the floor/pillow and was staring at Fred. Fred lowered his wand.
"HAHA!" he yelled.
They all stared at him.
"HAHA!"
They kept staring.
"Haha!"
And staring.
"Haha…"
And staring.
"Haha?"
And staring.
Then suddenly they all burst out laughing at Fred's disbelieving face.
"GOT YOU!" Ron roared while Fred looked around, shocked. Then his face broke out in a wide grin.
"Good one!"
