Secrets
Harry could not believe his eyes. His letter was there and not… He checked his pockets. "Oh no." Harry said in a whisper. For it was, in fact, his letter to Hermione. "Ron," he said, slowly turning around to his friend, who was unaware of his dismay. "When I tell you, I want you to stun your brother Fred ok." Ron busted out laughing but quickly recovered because the look in Harry's eyes could kill. "Why, what's going on Harry. I mean, I would love to stun them both but in this case, it is so unlike you to suggest something like that." Ron said pulling out his wand anyway. Harry had just pulled out his too. "Remember that letter I told you I wrote to Hermione?" Ron just looked at him. Harry nodded his head towards the huddling group. Ron stared at him for a moment and then it hit him like a tone of bricks. "You mean?" Harry just nodded and walked slowly towards the group. "Now Ron." Harry whispered but was too slow for George. He was watching them the whole time. He in turn used his wand to trip them both and took their wands. "Well, well. What have we here" said Fred.
"But the author him self." said George.
"Pretty touching really." Said Fred.
"Too bad she doesn't know you fancy her." Said George.
"Not yet anyway!" the both said "Give me back my letter!" said Harry through clenched teeth.
"You know Harry, if you did not want anyone else to read it other than her, you should of just placed a charm on it." Laughed Seamus.
"Oh leave him alone." Said Ginny pushing pass the others to get to her twin brothers. "Hand it here." She said with a look on her face that looked a lot like their mothers. "Sure thing my lady." Said Fred "But first," said George performing a charm on it "Now anyone who attempts to destroy it will break out in hives." "And we took the liberty of coping it." Said Fred "Just incase you attempt to hid it forever." The twins said in unison while handing it to Ginny.
"Why you little!" said Harry diving for Fred or George, he could never tell them apart.
"Awa, awa, awa, awa." Said Fred backing away waving their copy. "We have the upper hand now." "Until you tell your little love muffin of your undying love for her," said George "I guess you'll be our unwilling slave!" Said Fred with a smile "Until then. We'll be in touch" They both said and left the room.
Harry turned to Ginny and yanked the letter out of her hand. "Those bloody brothers of yours are going to get it someday! Mark my words!" he said then turned on his heals and left the room.
"All of you should be ashamed of your selves!" Said Ron looking at his only sister. "How could you do that to him?" He asked no one in particular.
"It was only for a bit of fun." Said Neville with his head hanged down.
"He shouldn't have left it lying around should he?" Said Seamus with a slight look of regret in his eyes. "All I know is that I am sorry now." Said Ginny with eye that looked as if they were ready to let the tears flow. "I had no idea the twins would black mail Harry into doing their bidding." She could hold it no longer. With a cough she busted into tears and ran from the room. "Ginny!" Ron called, but it was no use, she was gone. Every one else left the room leaving Ron to wonder how best to comfort one best friend and hide the truth from the other.
Main while in the girls room, Lavender is finally able to talk after her crying spell.
"I suppose you want to know what's wrong." Hermione nodded. "Well it's about a boy." Hermione should have guessed. Who else would you be invisible in front off? "When I tell you who it is, you have to promise not to tell him no matter what." Lavender looked at her with such intensity, Hermione almost shivered. "Promise me Hermione!" She said a little louder.
"Ok, Ok. I promise." She said. Lavender looked at her a moment longer and then she smiled. "It's a little silly really, but I don't mind telling you." She started. As she spoke she would fidget with her fingers and hair. "He's one of your best friends and I know that I am not the only girl who fancies him because we talk about it all the time. Actually, we were just talking about it when he came in and passed me right by, as if I wasn't even there! That's when the girls started to tease me and make me feel as if he would never fancy me." Hermione knew that Lavender was rambling so she decided to put a stop to it.
"Lavender." she said and made the girl stop talking. She pushed a stray strand of curly brown hair behind her ears and just decided to ask which one. She dreaded what the blond girl was going to say but she just had to know! "Just tell me."
Lavender looked at her for a moment and then leaned in and whispered it in Hermione's ears. Hermione looked at her in complete shock and amazement. "How could this be!" she though "and right under my nose!"
Pinku: (Attempting to shake Lavender) Which one is it girl? WHICH ONE IS IT! Ahem, must regain composure. Well only questions that come to my mind now is, "Which friend is it?" and "Just what would the twins make Harry do?" These and other questions will or might be answered in the next exciting chapter of "The Letter."
