Another hideously long update! Sorry! Last we read, the twins discovered Sakura practicing Levitation. Why? What's her secret? Only the twins know. But no one's telling just yet. Keep reading, maybe we'll know sooner or later! ^_^

Next morning

"Bye mom! We're off!" George called out, his hand on the front door. Fred was just behind him, and so was Sakura.

"Hold your horses, you two. And just where do you think you're going, bringing Sakura along?" Mrs Weasley asked skeptically, pointing her spatula at the twins. (She was making pancakes for breakfast. ^_^v)

"She's coming with us to the shop," Fred retorted.

"She is not. Hanging out with you two is what makes me worry," Mrs Weasley crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"But – "the twins started to say something, when Sakura interrupted.

"Please, don't worry, Mrs Weasley. I hope I'm not imposing much on your family, but since it's the summer holidays, I thought of having a holiday job at the twins' joke shop. Is that okay? I'm sorry for not informing you beforehand, I'll make sure they won't get into trouble," Sakura said, gesturing to the twins. The twins knew that was a lie. The joke shop was to be closed for the day.

"If that's what you say.... Now, I don't want any fooling around, hear me? I want her back here by five thirty safe and sound," Mrs Weasley pointed her spatula at the twins' noses threateningly.

"Yes, ma'am!" They saluted and marched Sakura off.

Twin's joke shop, Diagon Alley

"Whew, thanks for saving our heads, Sakura," George heaved, closing the door to the joke shop behind them and locking it from the inside.

"No worries. Wow, this is such a cool shop," Sakura looked around the shop. "are you sure closing your shop is a good idea?" she turned to ask the twins.

"That is not your utmost worry, dear Sakura," Fred winked, placing his arms around Sakura.

"Yep. We, the Weasley twins have promised to help you, so help you we must." George grinned.

Just then, there came a meek rap at the glass doors of the joke shop. The three glanced to see who could be visiting a closed shop. It was Cho Chang, standing there, peering into the faded glass of the door.

"What does she want?" George wondered and opened the door.

"I'm so sorry, but I thought I saw – Oh, God! Are you Sakura Kanzaki?" Cho completely pushed George aside and went straight up to Sakura.

"Hi, Cho," George purposefully greeted as he closed the door.

"I never dreamt that I would be able to meet you in person! It's been such a long time since Cedric and I heard from you! What rings you here to London? Why didn't you mail first or something? I could have arranged for you to stay at my place. I can't believe that I'm meeting you in the flesh. You've grown so much prettier!" Cho gushed.

"Um, Cho Chang?" Sakura asked cautiously.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! You probably don't remember me at all! Yes, I'm Cho Chang!" Cho grinned thrusting out her hand.

"Well, I'm equally pleased to meet you too, Cho. It has been a long time." Sakura shook Cho's hand.

"Ahem, explanation here? Confused twins under your noses." Fred gestured at the girls.

"Oh, I'm such a doofus! Hi, Fred and George! How did you get to know Sakura?" Cho smiled her sweetest at the twins.

"Hi, again. But we were looking for a clearer explanation," George said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Cho and I met in Cedric's many letters. You both know he and I were pen pals, right? Well, he of course introduced this lovely girl he got to know in Hogwarts to me. And we have exchanged a few lines in these letters," Sakura explained. The twins almost dropped dead when Sakura said Cho was a 'lovely girl'.

"Yup! This is so wonderful! Oh, I haven't been writing to you! Do you know about Cedric – "Cho's face began to dim.

"Yes, I know. I wondered why he stopped writing, and thought he was real busy in school. Furthermore, I didn't have to worry about him when he has such a sweet girlfriend. Little did I know....," Sakura shook her head.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I should never have encouraged him to join the Triwizard Tournament." Cho said forlornly.

"It's not your fault. It's been years since the tournament. He should want us to move on." Sakura said comfortingly to Cho and herself.

"Yes, well, I must be off now. We'll catch up some other time, 'kay? You take care!" Cho brightened up. "Bye Fred and George!"

"Right. Are you being nice to her out of pity?" George asked.

"No! Why do you think that?" Sakura asked, shocked.

"Oh, I don't know, she's real squealy." Fred offered.

"Aw, come on, I don't think she's that bad," Sakura waved her hand at the twins.

"Whatever. Now, we can start on our lesson proper. Wands please." George clapped his hands and the three began the lesson.

Back at The Burrow

"I wonder where Sakura has gone with the twins so early in the morning." Sakura paced in his room, where the others were there too.

"She went to the joke shop with the twins to help out, thought you knew. Come on, Ron sit down," Harry said.

"That's what worries me even more! With the twins! Don't know what trouble they're gonna get her into!" Ron threw his hands up in the air and paced faster.

"Ugh, she's only helping Fred and George out at their joke shop! Nothing to worry about. What we need to worry about is you losing your sanity!" Hermione pulled Ron and sat him down beside her on his bed.

"Yeah, Ron. Sakura seems pretty sensible a girl to me. The twins aren't that bad." Ginny stretched.

"You people don't know, do you? The twins spell trouble. It's clear all over their foreheads! Their slimy grins!" Ron exclaimed.

"No they don't. Stop talking rubbish about your own brothers. I know they love to play jokes, but they're good friends too." Hermione scolded.

"Look, Ron. If you're so scared of losing her to your own brothers, why don't you admit it to her? That you like her, I mean." Harry stated.

"No way!" Ron looked disbelievingly at Harry.

"Um, I'm sorry to intrude on such a gathering, but is there anything wrong? If not, I'm going upstairs," Sakura poked her head at the door. Ron's eyes widened and he turned red. He immediately turned to face opposite Sakura.

"Oh yeah, something's really wrong. He has a problem with you hanging out with the twins." Hermione nodded at Ron, who wished he could just disappear from the face of earth right then.

"Oh dear. I'm sorry, Ron? Is there wrong with my working with the twins?" Sakura approached Ron.

"No – nothing's wrong. They're making it up." Ron stumbled.

"No really, you should tell me. If I'm intruding with the family, I will leave." Sakura offered, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Uh.... No.... No! You don't have to leave! Er..." Ron turned to face Sakura. He blushed redder.

"Okay.... If there's anything wrong, you could always tell me, okay?" Sakura smiled and went up to her room.

Ron sighed and sank down to his bed.

"You so need to tell her," Hermione crossed her arms.

"Never," Ron stated and chased Ginny and Hermione out of the room, blushing.

"You have to get over yourself," Harry said grimly.

"Shut up, Harry," Ron squashed himself under his pillows.
