"Harry, wake up." Ron said shaking Harry awake, "Ten minutes until classes."

"Wha-" Harry said rubbing his eyes and sitting up in his bed.

"You got ten minutes until Transfiguration." Ron said. Harry started in alarm and got out of bed and quickly got changed. As he walked down to the Great hall to get something to eat really quickly the events from the previous night came floating into his mind and Harry suddenly became quite depressed.

"You're a bit late up," Hermione said to Ron and Harry as they walked over to her. She was scanning the pages of the daily Prophet for some news.

"It wasn't my fault, had to wake up Harry." Ron said. Hermione glanced at Harry and nodded before returning to the newspaper. Harry decided to ignore Hermione's strange behaviour towards him and hastily stuffed some toast into his mouth.

"Anything new?" Ron asked.

"It's why it's called the news Ron." Hermione said not looking at Ron as she turned a page.

"But is there anything new in it?" Ron asked. Hermione sighed and closed the paper.

"No, just a bit more on the goblins, a couple of pages of obituaries. Hannah Abbott's brother was killed last night." Hermione said in a hushed voice. Ron and Harry instinctively looked over to the Hufflepuff table but couldn't see Hannah Abbott.

"She's not here. She's with Ernie in their common room apparently." Hermione hissed at them, trying to stop them staring.

"How do you know?" Harry asked

"I heard Professor Sprout talking about it to Professor McGonagall." Hermione said.

"I didn't know you gossiped." Ron said cheekily. Hermione looked at him in disdain as she could see bits of food in his mouth.

"I don't, I just share information." Hermione said

"Also known as Gossiping." Ron pointed out. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Come on, we'll be late for Transfiguration." Hermione said getting up,

"Urgh, lesson with the Slytherins." Ron said in horror as he thought about their lesson that they had with a few Slytherins, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Harry followed the two slowly, he was tired, depressed and he wasn't in the mood to put up with Malfoy's remarks. As the three took their place in the transfiguration lesson he got his wand out and Advanced Transfiruration for NEWT level Students. He saw Hannah Abbott walk into the room looking teary and holding onto Ernie Macmillan's hand tightly.

"Today we will be begin work on Human transfigurations." McGonagall said. "I will be asking you to work in threes and to pay close attention because human Transfiguration can be very dangerous when cast by an incompetent spell caster." Hermione looked alert and listened as McGonagall told them the correct wand movement to turn a human into an inanimate object.

"Concentrate on the object you wish to turn your partner into and flick your wand like so-" McGonagall showed them the correct wand movement, "Miss. Brown, would you kindly come and let me show the class." Lavender went white and walked to the front so McGonagall could show the class how to transfigure a human.

"Now there's no need to worry" McGonagall said, Lavender quickly turned into a radio that began to crackle. "Now to turn Miss. Brown back just tap the object with your wand." McGonagall tapped the radio and Lavender Brown looked pale and was clutching a table tightly. "Thank you Miss. Brown, ten points to Gryffindor, now please get into your groups and begin practicing. If you encounter some trouble do not hesitate to ask for help." McGonagall said as she began to wander the room.

"I'll go first." Hermione said eagerly. She looked at Ron hopefully.

"What?" Ron asked.

"You can be the test subject." Harry said to him.

"Why me?"

"Don't you trust me?" Hermione asked.

"No, its just that-" Ron didn't finish the sentence as a loud bang filled the room. Everyone turned to stare at Draco Malfoy who looked slightly charred and was holding a rubber chicken in his hand. Crabbe and Goyle sniggered slightly though they tried not to. Pansy Parkinson squealed slightly and looked at Malfoy worriedly.

"Malfoy" McGonagall said slightly angrily. "What are you doing? Where is your wand?" Malfoy lifted the Chicken, "That is not your wand." Malfoy looked at it and jumped slightly.

"Where's my wand?" Malfoy shouted at Crabbe and Goyle. They just shrugged.

"I'll turn it back." Pansy said quickly. She waved her wand and there was another bang and Pansy was holding a limp haddock. Everyone started laughing, even Harry had to laugh as suddenly all the Slytherin's wands turned into various objects. McGongall looked ready to lose her head.

"Fake wands." Ron sniggered to Harry and Hermione while clutching his side. Hermione was laughing herself but was trying not to show it and failing.

When Transfiguration was over Harry could see every Slytherin looking slightly burned like Malfoy and his cronies had been in Transfiguration. The only ones that didn't look harmed were the ones who hadn't used their wands. During the break Harry saw a group of Slytherins talking. Half of them looked like nothing had happened to them and took their wands out hesitantly and looked at them.

"I found them!" shouted a small Slytherin second year. All the Slytherins followed this small boy out of the courtyard. The other students followed as well, curious to see what everything was about. Harry and his friends followed to see a few Slytherins attempting to get near the whomping Willow but getting a fist like branch in their stomach. Harry soon saw what the boy had found. Hanging from the branches of the whomping willow like small lanterns were the wands of every member of the Slytherin house.

"What-how-" Malfoy said angrily. Ginny, Jenny and Luna walked up to Harry, Ron and Hermione who were all looking very confused.

"Thanks Harry." Ginny said smiling. Jenny was laughing and Luna had a faint smile.

"What do you mean thanks?" Harry asked.

"Ginny came up with this really good idea." Jenny said, she had calmed slightly and Harry saw her go slightly red when she looked at Harry. "Fred and George would be proud." Jenny said holding a hand on Ginny's shoulder. Ginny looked touched and burst out laughing with Jenny, both unable to keep a straight face.

"It is a little funny isn't it?" Luna said dreamily. "I wonder how the wands got up there." Harry suddenly understood. That's why Jenny had been in the Whomping willow last night.

"You two-" Harry said surprised. Ginny nodded

"What is going on?" Said Snape pushing several students aside.

"Sir, our wands are in the Whomping Willow" shouted a seventh year student. Snape looked into the tree and his gaze immediately went to Harry. Harry looked slightly confused but then Snape turned and got his wand out.

"Accio" He said. The wands all detached themselves from the tree and flew at Snape. They landed in a pile at his feet. "Everyone get to their lessons, Slytherins please collect your wands from here." Everyone started to disperse, whispering and laughing about what had just happened.

"It has to be a Weasley," Harry heard a Ravenclaw whisper. A few people looked at Harry and Ron. Ron looked at them clueless and turned to Harry.

"Why does everyone think it was me?" Ron asked.

"That wasn't a very good trick." Hermione said, "some people got hurt trying to fight the whomping willow."

"They were Slytherins, Hermione." Ron said. "They deserve all they get."

By the end of the day everyone was talking about the incident that morning and most people said that it had the Weasley mark all over it. Only thing was that most people thought it was Ron and as much as he liked the attention he was scared of getting told off. Of course no one seemed to think of Ginny or Jenny. If Harry hadn't known it was them he would have thought it might be them, Ginny was a female version of her twin brothers, just waiting to escape. The Corridor where a small part of Fred and George's swamp seemed a lot more crowded and many people were again talking of Fred and Georges many exploits the previous year, even if they had gone. Harry, Hermione and Ron sat in the common room doing their homework when Ginny sat down angrily and crossed her arms. Jenny came over casually and sat down next to Ginny. As soon as she caught Harry's eyes she went red.

"You'd think that Fred and George were back with all the commotion wouldn't you?" Ginny asked, "Do you know how long it took to plan that?"

"A few days?" Ron asked, not looking up from his work.

"No, three weeks, we had to count every Slytherin-"

"Then order the wands from your brothers" Jenny finished for Ginny. The fire immediately roared to life and two figures stepped out. Everyone stared at the fireplace and saw two red headed men standing in the fireplace with bright green blazers. They both had identical cheek grins. These were two faces that Harry hadn't seen in a long time.

"Where's our sister?" said George happily. Ginny's face lit up.

"Ginny!" George said,

"Jenny!" Fred said. They both held their arms out expecting a hug. When the girls didn't go to them, the twins went to the girls.

"I'm so proud." George said hugging Ginny tightly. Everyone stood in shock but Hermione just looked annoyed.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked frowning slightly, "Are you allowed?"

"Of course we are." Fred said, "We're here to ask if the plan worked?" He looked at Jenny and Ginny.

"Of course." Ginny said. Fred and George grinned even more.

"Everyone in Gryffindor gets a free item from our shop in the summer if these two managed to pull of a few more pranks." George shouted to the whole Gryffindor common room. Everyone cheered and the portrait hole opened and Katie Bell and her group of friends walked in.

"Fred, George." Katie said slightly shocked but she was smiling.

"Katie my dear." George said exuberantly.

"What are you doing here?" Katie asked, receiving a quick but what looked like a passionate kiss from George. She blushed slightly and grinned none the less.

"Just congratulating my sister," George told Katie,

"Well, we have more items to develop. Good luck you two." Fred said waving to Ginny and Jenny. He stepped into the fire and disappeared. George gave them all a wave as well and followed Fred's example. Once they were gone the whole common room started talking quickly. Katie Bell was bombarded by questions from her friends and Ginny and Jenny were swept up into a tide of talk from other Gryffindors. Ron, Harry and Hermione were slightly speechless.

"Whoa." Ron said after a while.

"I know." Harry said.

"Mum is going to kill me." Ron said going slightly white.

"Why would she do that?" Hermione asked slightly confused.

"Because I'm supposed to be looking after Ginny aren't I? And if she becomes like Fred and George-" Ron pulled a finger across his throat pretending to have his throat slit.

"That ridiculous, that won't happen." Hermione said, "Well not because of your mum, anyway." Ron dropped his hand.

"What, so you think I'm going to be killed another way?" Ron asked.

"Of course, your mum would never kill you." Hermione said smiling. "I don't feel like working anymore." She said. Harry and Ron looked at each other surprised.

"Excuse me?" Harry asked.

"I don't feel like working." Hermione said, "I've got to have a break sometimes besides since last year I haven't really felt my enthusiasm as much as I used to but I'm still working hard." Harry and Ron couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Well, I have work to do." Ron said, "An essay for Snape, an essay for McGonagall, I have to practice three counter jinxes for Grout and an essay for Flitwick." Hermione looked at Harry.

"Same." Harry said sympathetically, "minus the counter Jinxes." Hermione looked slightly annoyed and sat in her chair looking sulky. Harry sat down and as he started on his homework his bad mood returned when Jenny reminded him that he had an Occlumency lesson that he was late for.
