Disclaimer: The only thing in this story of my own invention is the plot (but not the previous plot of the first five Harry Potter books). I own nothing else.
Author's Note: This story is set in Harry, Hermione, and Ron's sixth year. There will be no large Voldemort plot, because I do not intend to write a fanfiction version of the sixth book in this story. You are free to use your imagination with the plot, Voldemort-wise.
It was a drizzly day at number ninety-three, Diagon Alley, but Fred and George Weasley were nevertheless very happy indeed. Business had been great since they had fist opened the doors to Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, and a new year at Hogwarts (for those younger kids) was already about to begin. Although many Hogwarts students had taken advantage of their discount offer (for anyone who tried to rid Hogwarts of Professor Umbridge with their products), their mother was... let's just say not very pleased.
George reminisced the day they had first seen their mum and dad after they had quit Hogwarts...
"Leaving, just like that—and you were almost finished anyway!"
"Mum, there was no point in s—"
"You could have at least gotten yourselves a decent job... something other than starting a silly little joke shop!"
"But that's what we want—"
"You're disgracing our—"
"Molly, they do have a point..." (Mr. Weasley)
But Fred interrupted George's celebration of finally overpowering their mum. "Listen to this, George... Found it in the suggestion box... Great idea of mine, the suggestion box—"
"Go on, go on!" urged George.
"Okay, fine. Here it is: 'Truth or Dare Cookies—anyone who tastes one wither spills a secret or does something daring.' Wha'd'you think, George?"
"Sounds fine to me. Wonder who we could test it on... Anything else?"
"Not really." Fred decided to keep the small signature, "Love, Angelina", and the fact that it was addressed to him, a secret.
So thus was the birth of the Truth or Dare Cookies!
Author's Note: I know it's really short, but I don't want to add so many details that it's boring! It just wouldn't fit with the next chapter (which, by the way, is longer). Next chapter: The Hogwarts Express!
