As they entered the great hall that morning they found it all ready full. They all sat down next to Fred and George.
"Morning!" Fred said happily.
"What are you so happy about?" Ron asked.
"New invention." George said.
"Well are you going to tell us what it is?" Harry asked.
""Well, if you insist," said Fred, a wicked glint in his eye as he extracted a small slip of parchment out of the pocket of his robes.
"What is it?" Hermione asked, with a wary look from Fred to George and back to the parchment. This would not be the first run in she had had with the twin's products.
"This, ladies, gents, and ickle Ronniekins, is Weasley's Wizard Wheeze's newest innovation - Perfect Parchment!" Grinning profusely in a rather Lockhart-like manner, Fred held the blank bit of parchment out to the trio with a flourish. Taking the parchment from him, Harry inspected it, turning it over and peering at it closely.
"What does it do, mate?" inquired Ron eagerly. He was always one for his elder brothers' new items, as he was not noted for his high aims in his coursework.
"It gives a perfect score on any essay you might have to write, regardless of how well you know the information," said George, "but it's not ready for sale yet." He grinned at his younger brother's crestfallen face. "Sorry, mate, it just doesn't work yet. Bloody ink keeps disappearing right off the parchment," he muttered.
Before Harry could reply the morning mail come soaring in.
"Look!" Ron said as a tawny brown owl came soaring at the three of them.
Harry untied the letter from the owl. The owl then ruffled its feathers and flew off.
"Who is it from?" Hermoine asked.
"Just a second." Harry said as he opened the letter.
Dear Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger,
Would you kindly meet me for lunch in my office?
I would like to talk about some matters concerning you three.
Best regards,
Professor Dumbledore
"Why does Dumbledore want to see us? Hermoine asked.
" I have no fuckn' idea." Ron said.
" Whatever it is, it must be important for Dumbledore to invite us to his office for lunch though." Harry said.
"Well we'd better reply to it though." Harry said.
"Yeah, we should." Hermoine said, and ran off at that.
