Chapter Five: Truce

Fred and George sat down across from Harry, Ron, and Hermione the next morning looking absolutely awful. Harry and Hermione shared a knowing smirk, then Harry asked, "Is Ginny still tormenting you?"

They both groaned in response and buried their heads in their arms.

"What's the matter, brothers dearest?" Ginny asked sweetly as she and Draco sat down next to them. "Is my revenge too much for you?"

Both twins looked ready to bolt at the slightest hint that the two would start snogging again, but nodded their headed vigorously in response. "Please, Ginny!" Fred begged.

"No more." George agreed, whimpering slightly.

Harry, Hermione, and Draco all had to choke back laughs at the twins' replies. Ginny quirked an eyebrow at the three of them, effectively silencing them, then turned back to Fred and George.

"So do you two promise not to prank Draco and me again?"

They both nodded enthusiastically, their looks pleading with her.

"I mean ever, guys. Do you promise never to prank us again?"

They nodded again. 'We promise."

Ginny nodded. "Then we agree not to torment you with more random acts of snogging." She giggled. "You should've seen your faces though! They were hilarious!"

Draco, Harry, and Hermione joined in laughing as well, even Ron chuckled slightly. Finally the twins joined in, laughing at themselves.

"We do have to admit though, Gin--" Fred commented while laughing.

"--that was bloody brilliant!" George finished.

"Never in our wildest--"

"--prank schemes would we--"

"--have dreamed up something--"

"--so fabulously brilliant!" finishing each other's sentences like always.

"Exactly." They both ended together.

Ginny giggled again. "Was that a compliment I just heard from my dearest brothers?"

They both nodded again. "But we have to ask--" George continued.

"How'd you do it, Gin?" Fred finished again.

She laughed and wagged her finger at them. "Now that would be telling."

"Come on, Ginny, please?"

She shook her head. "Trade secret."

"Please?"

Ginny was about to shake her head again, but noticed she was getting puppy dog faces from all five of her friends this time. She shared a look with Draco who shrugged. "Your call, love."

She sighed. "Okay, fine, but not here. Somewhere no one else will see."

"How about the Room of Requirement?" Hermione suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement except Draco. "Where?"

Ginny laughed again. "Come on, let's go. We'll show you."

They all nodded and walked out of the Great Hall.
