Chapter Six: Taming of the Heart

"Dobby! Dobby!" Fred called.

"Here, sir," Dobby said as he appeared out of thin air.

"I can't find Ron anywhere," Fred told him. "If he finds Hermione in her current condition, there will be hell to pay."

"He found her, sir," Dobby informed.

"What?" Fred demanded.

"Ron Weasley is with Harry Potter and the girls, sir," Dobby explained.

"Oh, what a disaster!" Fred shouted, smacking a hand against his forehead. "We have to fix this, Dobby. Where are they?"

"Dobby will show you, sir," Dobby insisted as he ran off down the hall.

Fred followed Dobby through the corridors until they came upon the four. Fred's eyes widened when he saw Hermione and Luna hanging on Harry.

"Is this some cruel joke?" Ron asked Harry, Hermione and Luna.

"No," Harry insisted. "If this is just a prank, it's as cruel to me as to you."

"This is not prank," Hermione assured. "I hate Ron and love Harry."

"Oh, holy heck!" Fred exclaimed.

"So, then our relationship was the joke," Ron muttered. "I should have known! I just can't believe that you would be so cruel, Hermione. If you didn't really love me, you should have bloody well told me before now!"

Ron turned and stomped off. Harry pulled away from the two girls to go after Ron. Luna and Hermione instantly followed Harry. Fred grabbed Dobby and hurried after them.

"Ron, please!" Harry begged, trying to keep up. "I'm not against you, Ron. I'm your friend. Please stop."

"Let him go," Hermione grumbled. "He isn't worth a thing anyway."

"Don't be mean to MY Harry's friend," Luna ordered. "I care for him whom Harry cares for."

"Will you all just leave me alone!" Ron shouted over his shoulder.

"Dobby," Fred began, "reverse the spell."

Dobby was about to snap when the whole group stopped and stared in surprise as the buck-naked George was running in front of them. Hermione instantly covered her eyes. Luna couldn't even blink. Ron and Fred yelled obscenities.

"Has everyone in this bloody school gone mad?" Harry exclaimed, about ready to tear his hair out.

"Dobby, new plan," Fred told him. "Make this bunch fall asleep this second, while I catch George. Join me when they're out."

Fred pushed through the group and ran after George. Dobby snapped his fingers. A grey gloom fell over Hermione, Ron, Harry and Luna.

"Darling, what's happening?" Hermione asked Harry.

"I don't know," Harry muttered. "I'm so tired."

"Hold me," Luna yawned, falling into Harry's arms. The impact caused them both to tumble to the ground.

"No you don't," Hermione tried to protest as she swayed on the spot.

"I still love you, 'Mione," Ron said, putting an arm around her.

"Well, I hate...you." Hermione fell asleep that instant against Ron.

He dropped to the floor, still holding her.

When Fred found George, he was laying on the floor with Moaning Myrtle. She was on her stomach while George slowly rubbed a hand up and down through her back.

"I've never been this happy, George," Myrtle whispered. "No one has ever loved me before."

"I can't believe that," George said to her. "You're so easy to love."

Myrtle smiled.

"I love you Myrtle," George told her. "I will love you like this until I die. Then, as a ghost, I will be able to love you even more."

"I wish you could die now," Myrtle muttered.

"Good idea," George said, jumping up.

"What idea?" Myrtle asked, floating into a standing position. "What did I say?"

"My love, I will be able to love you better," George said excitedly.

"What? How?" Myrtle asked.

"I'll kill myself," George announced.

"Oh no," Fred muttered. "Where is Dobby when I need him?"

"Here, sir," Dobby said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Take the whammy off George," Fred insisted.

George pushed open the nearest window and made to jump out.

"George, are you sure?" Myrtle asked, looking concerned.

"I will see you in a moment, my love," George said gallantly.

Dobby snapped and a million pink sprinkles ascended from George's body, then disappeared. He swayed for a moment, then caught sight of what he was about to do.

"Blimey!" George yelled. "I was about to kill myself."

George stepped back from the window.

"Dear Dementor!" George shouted. "Why was I going to kill myself? Why am I naked?"

"They were symbols of your love for me," Myrtle reminded him.

"My love for..." George began, confused. "What have I done?"

George ran off into the lavatory to retrieve his clothes.

"George!" Myrtle called. "I don't understand."

"I'm afraid it's my fault," Fred piped up. "I was playing a little prank, and it got out of hand."

"It was a prank," Myrtle muttered to herself, tears coming to her eyes. "I knew it! I knew he couldn't love me!"

She started wailing and floated up through the ceiling.

"Dobby doesn't think this was such a fun game after all," Dobby said quietly.

"Same here, Dob," Fred muttered. "Go put Luna and Hermione straight, will you?"

Dobby nodded and with a snap, disappeared.

A/N: This is a wind-down folks. I wish it could have lasted longer, but there's only one remaining chapter.
