The morning after
Harry looked at the twins with utter contempt. 'How dear they think that they could get away with this!' Harry thought to himself. "Just wait you two, just you wait." He said under his breath. They had summoned Harry first thing that morning to 'try something new' they said. As a result, Harry had to stand there and let the twins tell him what to do. George finally turned around and handed him a small, white, plastic bottle with a label that read 'Emotion Lotion'. Harry took the bottle with a confused look on his face.
"Well! Put it on." Said Fred.
"Why?" ask Harry
"Because it won't put itself on now would it." Said George with a smile.
"I hate you." Said Harry while squeezing a bit of the lotion in his hand.
"No Harry, you have to put it over your whole body." Said Fred.
"I will do no such thing!" Harry said through clenched teeth.
"Now Harry, you promised to be good." Said George.
"We would not want a certain letter to get into a certain someone's hands." Said Fred
"Now would we." They both said. Harry gave them a look that would kill a muggle. 'Why couldn't I just blow them up instead?' he thought as he smeared the bottled stuff all over himself, including his face. He had to admit, it did smell nice, but he wouldn't tell them that.
Main while, Hermione, Lavender and some other girls were heading out for breakfast. Hermione paused at the bottom of the stairs because Harry had just walked in followed by the twins. She saw him head over to the couch and wake up Ron. She hadn't even noticed Ron sleeping over there. She turned to tell the girls that she would catch up, when she noticed that no one was paying attention to her, they was looking at the boys. One boy in particular, she knew. Before she could say anything, Lavender came over to her and held her arm so tight, she was sure all of the circulation was gone.
"Remember what I told you, not a word. You promised." she whispered
"Don't worry, I won't say a word." Lavender finally let go, gave the boys one more glance and left with the rest of the girls. Hermione turned on her heals and went straight to her friends. The twins gave her a wicked smile and left as well.
"What was all that about?" she asked them
"Please Hermione, don't ask." Said Ron getting up.
"Why were you sleeping on the couch?" she asked Ron
"I was waiting for…" got a look from Harry "I mean, I was up so late last night I fell asleep out here, that's all, I mean, yeah." He said trying not to make eye contact with Harry or Hermione, just in case he let it slip that he was waiting for Harry to finish up with the twins.
"What ever." She said shaking her head. She had her hair up in a twist and it made her neck look delicate and graceful, at least that's what Harry was thinking. "Let's go to breakfast please because I don't want to miss… HARRY! What's wrong with your face!" Hermione almost screamed. Harry touched his face and turned to Ron.
"Not just your face but your hands too!" said Ron while pushing Harry in front of a mirror.
Harry looked at himself and saw his color change from bright pink to fire red. 'I'm going to kill those guys!' he thought to himself.
"Come on, let's find Fred and George. They have a little explaining to do!" he said running out the door with Hermione and Ron in tow.
When they arrived to the Great Hall, it was packed with students. They made such a racket when they arrived until it made everyone turn and look in their direction. Almost the entire hall busted out laughing at the red, now turning purple faced Harry.
"I guess red means anger." Said George writing it down
"And purple means embarrassment." Said Fred as George wrote it down.
"Look you two!" said a once again red faced Harry. "How do I get this stuff off?"
"Oh that would have to ware off." Said Fred with a smile
"We just don't know how long it will take." Said George.
"That's your job." They both said with a smile. Harry almost dived for them both when George turned to Hermione with a smile and was about to open his mouth, when Harry quickly calmed down and all of the color rushed from his face leaving it a very bright white.
"I guess white means fear or panic." Said Fred writing that down too
"Very interesting." They both said.
Harry turned to Hermione and allowed her to have a seat on the other side of him, away from the twins, while Ron was getting a very obvious invitation from Lavender but as always hadn't noticed, and sat next to Harry and his brothers. Hermione, on the other hand, had noticed and decided that it was time for her to take matters into her own hands.
Pinku: NO WAY! Lavender likes Ron! Well with all that red hair, who could blame the girl? I for one would just have to take out the twins, one by one (evil smile) Just what will Hermione do, and when will that horrid 'Emotion Lotion' ware off! These and other questions will or might be answered in the next exciting chapter of "The Letter."
