The first day in Disney was spent exploring all the attractions of the hotel. Pools, room service, the free massage given to each guest (Severus of course passed on that, for now!). The kids grew tired early and Severus was more then happy to allow Tirza to use the TV remote to order in a video in the girls' room.

"In honor of us being at Disney," Tirza announced. "I nominate Pirates of the Caribbean for us to watch and have our munchies. Everyone agree?"

"Aye matey, where's me rum!" Fred agreed. George did a killer impression of Jack Sparrow, making everyone laugh.

"You're quite good at that," Severus complimented.

"Do another!" Ginny squealed. "Please!" the other girls called.

George grinned and stood up, bowing at his audience. He gave a little swagger and spouted, "Welcome to the Caribbean, luv!" He then bowed once more as everyone clapped.

"Bravo George really!" Hermione laughed. "You really are wicked at that!"

"You have no idea how wicked I am," George quipped with a cheeky grin. Fred rolled his eyes and shoved his brother gently to sit down.

"On with the movie dear," Severus called to Tirza. "I do hope you know what you are doing! I have no idea about this television renting business."

Tirza giggled and started the movie without a hitch. "Poor dad. You really ought to take a refresher course in Muggle Studies!"

The twins snorted while the girls giggled behind pillows.

Severus raised an eyebrow and looked at Tirza sternly. "Oh really?" She nodded, still grinning. "I thought that was what I had you for?" Severus hugged her tightly and tickled her all through the credits.

The next morning, Severus informed his troop that after breakfast they were free to look around on their own as long as they stayed together and came back at the appointed meeting time.

The ideas and opportunities for mischief and merry-making were infinite! Fred grabbed George on the way to breakfast and shoved a brochure in his face. "It says here in this hotel guide that there's some kind of Volcano pool in that hotel 3 stops from ours."

"Volcano pool? What's that?" George asked.

"I'm not sure but it sounds like loads of fun," Fred replied. "The picture here shows people sliding down what looks like a bed of lava into the pool."

"Excellent." George rubbed his hands together. "How do we get there?"

"Well we got to hop that white thing that runs through this hotel and go on it three stops," Fred said pointing to the monorail as it glided overhead.

"Alright. When do we want to go? Will Snape let us?"

"He said this morning was on our own remember?" Fred said, "He told us we all had to meet back here by noon for our seating at that Chef's place upstairs."

"Alright, let's go then! Bathing suits, here we come! Food first of course, right?"

"Of course!"

When they had stuffed themselves and grabbed their suits Fred led the way to the escalator that would take them to the monorail. "Hey, do you think there will be girl's there?" George asked with a smirk.

"Of course," Fred smiled. "that's why I wanted to check it out if you must know."

They stepped onto the monorail and took seat. "Look out there George, we can see that castle from the commercials!"

"Wow, impressive..." George commented. "Now where are the girls? And this lava?" he asked excitedly.

"This is our stop," Fred told him as the pulled into a smaller station that didn't go through the building. They exited the monorail, looking around curiously.

"I think we have to go through the hotel to get to the pool," Fred said as they entered the second story."

"Or we could ask too," George said, following Fred. "Wow, Snape really went all out on this vacation, didn't he?"

Fred nodded as he spotted someone to ask. "Excuse me sir, but where is your volcano pool?" "Go down the escalator to the first level," the man said. "then out the doors by the food court and follow the path but only guests of this resort may swim in it."

"We're guest of the resort. We're with the Snape party, we're the twins of the group."

"Very good sir," the man said as he went back to cleaning the mess some kids had left at one of the tables.

"We are guests here right?" George whispered as they walked away.

"Not really," Fred said. "but we could pretend and see how far we get."

"Works for me!" They strode out to the pool and stood in awe for a moment.

"Man this looks better than the pictures," Fred commented. They watched people slide down a fake lava path into a steaming pool.

"We need to get a picture of this for mum!" George exclaimed. "She'll never believe us."

Fred pulled out his disposable camera they found at the gift shop. "Go to the top of the slide and I'll get you coming down it."

"Right!" George went to the top of the slide and came down on his belly. Fred got a good picture of it as George popped out of the pool. "Now take a picture of me!"

George got out and took the camera. "Do something different, and I'll snap it." Fred decided to slide down part of the way then stood up and cannon balled into the pool "Great, I got it!" George shouted, laughing.

They played in the pool for another half hour before a manager approached them. "Excuse me sirs."

"Yes?" George asked.

"Are you here with someone that is staying in this resort?" the manager asked. "The pool is only for those staying at this resort."

"We're here with Mr. Snape, from England. He should be in your books, or compy thinger." The manager nodded and went inside to check.

"Uh oh we better get before he comes back," Fred sighed. "I really don't think he'll find us on his books."

'Yeah," they scampered out of the pool and headed back towards their own hotel.

"That was awesome though," George commented.

Fred nodded. "Where should we go? We still got another half hour before we have to meet up with everyone. Ooo wait never mind I know," he smirked as they dried off and headed for the marina.

"Do you have your key card to get into the room?"

"Yeah," George got it off from around his neck on a chain.

Fred checked it quickly to make sure it had what he thought. "Wanna rent one of those boats for like 15 minutes?

"What boat thing? And doesn't that mean money?"

"Snape gave you the wrong card and we can charge it to the room," Fred smirked. "and it's those boats out there that people can drive."

"Excellent! Drive a boat, alright, come on!" Fred paid the man with the card and took the keys and life vests from him. "He says it's the one on the end," Fred said pointing to where a female CM was helping people in and out of the boats.

George nodded and they headed that way. "Hello, this our boat?"

"Have either of you driven a boat before?"

Fred shook his head no "Nope. Is it real hard?"

"No just put your key in the ignition like so," the woman said showing them how and then pull the leaver into third gear to back out of the slot then into a higher gear to go around the lake. "To stop just ease off the gas"

"Sounds good. You wanna drive Fred?"

Fred nodded and got behind the wheel and started the engine up. George got in beside him. "No crashes now" he laughed

Fred laughed and backed it out of the space like a pro. "How fast should we go bro?" Fred started off slow till they got past the loading areas and then put it in high gear. "Woooo hooooo!"

They drove fast and chased other boats and even rode the wake of one of the bigger boats and had a ball. "We've GOT to get the girls out on these before we go home"

"Definitely! Right on, they'd love it!" They pulled into the dock just as their fifteen minutes were up. "Thank you ma'am for the tips that was a fun trip"

"You bet. Come back later on if you'd like. Just ask for Josie!"

"Definitely," Fred said making note of her name.

George beamed. "I love this vacation already. Do you think we could like-- not go back?"

"No," Fred sighed. "or Snape might make us stay closer to him from now on"

"Oh, true," George sighed. "Well, we have to tell the girls!"

Fred nodded and led the way back to the monorail station. "I think we have to make two stops this time."

"Yeah, that seems right" They got off the monorail at the hotel and looked confused "Do you remember where we were supposed to meet?"

"The room," George commented. They went up to their room but found a note it read "We've gone down to the monorail floor to go to Chef Mickey's, meet us there"

"Good, we can change first. Don't think we can go to a restaurant in swimming trunks" Fred nodded and they hurried inside and changed and went back downstairs

"There you two are," Severus sighed in relief.

"Sorry, we were all wet," George commented. "Had to change"

"As long as you're here and still in one piece," Severus commented. "I have no desire to survive the wrath of your mother should I lose one of you, or the pair of you lose a limb!"

Ginny and the twins giggled.

"Snape's afraid of mum!" Fred teased.

Severus leveled the redhead with a firm glare, and then smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling. "Damn right I am."

After lunch, the troop unanimously voted to find the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and compare it to the awesome movie. Severus, however, declined and waited at the exit for them to come off the ride.

"You were right Tirza," Hermione laughed as they exited the incredible ride. "That was SO like the movie."

Tirza giggled. "You bet it was!"

George followed in the rear, making a head count of the girls.

Fred smirked happily. "I like the pirates," He decided with a huge grin. "But, yea, that was crazy wicked."

"Just like the morning."

"Hey let's check out Haunted Mansion next and compare," Hermione suggested. "and where's your dad Tirza?"

"Looks like we got everybody," George commented, watching as most of the girls held hands, swinging them back and forth.

"Erm, I can't really see over the crowd..." Tirza commented

Fred scooped her up, and set her on his shoulders. "Better?"

Tirza giggled and patted his head. "Much, thanks!" She looked around for a moment. "There he is!"

"We have to drag him on the haunted ride thing," Fred commented with an evil grin, matched by his twin.

Severus walked up to them in khaki slacks and a black top "Were those Pirates amusing?"

"They were great!" Maddie shouted. "Are you going to come with us on the haunted one?"

George laughed. "Yeah Pro--er, Mr. Snape, you should!"

Fred nodded his agreement. "You really should, Mr. Snape."

"Oh no," Severus laughed quietly. Thanks to prompting, Severus had taken off the serious side as to not draw attention to them. "I think I'll stick with the safer rides like say that Dumbo ride."

"Chicken dad?" Tirza teased with a grin.

Fred laughed loudly. "Dumbo ride? How lame," He said under his breath.

"No but I know my limits," Severus said.

"And those limits are--the dumbo ride." Announced Fred.

"Well maybe," Severus replied.

"I know another tame ride," Hermione smirked as she looked through the guidebook. "this space mountain one might be fun."

"Come on, sir. Try out the haunted ride--thing." George shrugged. "What could it hurt?"

"How about I agree to try the Space thingy instead?"

"Hmm----come on! How about you do both?" Fred smiled.

"Fred," Hermione said elbowing him and handing him the guidebook pointing to the information on space mountain. "He could just do space."

Fred looked over the information, and thought it over for a moment. "Alright." He agreed with a smirk.

"What is it you two know that I don't?" Severus asked.

Fred shrugged. "Nothing much. Just that you'll love the ride, sir."

Severus shrugged. "I will meet you at the exit to the ride."

Tirza smiled as Fred set her down on the ground. "Bye dad, be careful!" she giggled. She, Hermione, Ginny and Maddie linked hands and ran towards the ride, with George and Fred behind.

Fred rolled his eyes. "Girls." He mumbled.

George laughed and poked Fred's side. "You know we like them brother. We did beg to come you know."

"Very, very true." Fred nodded. "But it's so--cool here!" He exclaimed. "I mean, these ride thingers are wicked."

"Very brilliantly wicked," they smirked and entered the ride behind the girls, with George doing another head count.

"Rather weird to see Snape as a muggle, hmm? Amusing though!"

Hermione laughed. "Very."

Fred nodded slowly. "Never gives up his black, does he?"

As they got through the stretching room and entered the ride loading area they had to split into groups of three.

Maddie shook her head. "Every time I see him, he's in black, even when we went to London for a movie day."

"Creepy. I've always wanted to see him with lime green hair..." George laughed and Tirza playfully bopped his arm.

"Loony," she teased.

"Hmm, yes. I am loony." He said, pretending to ponder that with a smart look on his face.

Tirza, Hermione, and Ginny ended up in one vehicle and George and Fred squeezed in the vehicle behind them leaving Maddie for the last one.

Maddie popped in and poked the twins with a giggle. "Scared boys?"

Fred smirked slightly. "No, but you should be."
