(A/N: Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews! I am glad that everyone is enjoying my fic.)
Fred and George sat at breakfast absolutely miserable. They had just spent the night prior polishing and cleaning the trophy case. It wasn't easy or fun work. The twins could barely keep their eyes open when an owl came sweeping down to them. It was obvious that it was school owl. It impatiently stuck its leg out for its message to be retrieved. Fred was the only one of the two who could muster up enough energy to reach out and take the note. Once the owl's leg was free of the note it gave out an indignant hoot and flew off.
"What is it?" asked George.
"A note from Filch," grimaced Fred.
George groaned and banged his head on the table as Fred read the note aloud.
To Fred and George WeasleyYou will be serving the second part of your detention tonight.
I expect to see you in front of my office by 8:00 pm Sharp.
Argus Filch
"I wonder what he'll have us do tonight?" pondered George.
"It can't be worse than last night," assured Fred.
As Fred and George stood in front of the first floor bathroom glove on and cleaning buckets in hand, Fred said, "Okay, I take back what I said this morning, this is definitely worse than last night!"
"You can say that again," agreed George as he and Fred ventured into the bathroom.
"Toilets or sinks first?" asked Fred.
"How about you take toilets and I'll do sinks," suggested George.
"Fat chance," answered Fred.
"How about we get the worst over with first? You have the toilet bowl cleaner?"
"Right here," answered Fred brandishing it from his bucket of cleaning supplies.
By the time the twins had reached the third floor bathrooms, avoiding Myrtle's bathroom, Fred sighed, "This is not worth a piece of parchment that insults people."
"I'm inclined to agree," exasperated George throwing a sponge into a nearby bucket.
"Midnight, three floors done not bad," broke in Filch, "I guess the elves can manage from here."
Fred and George looked to one another in surprise.
Knowing what the twins were thinking, Filch answered their question, "Dumbeldore insists that you have a decent nights sleep, especially the night before classes." Filch continued to grumble under his breath as he turned to leave the bathroom, he ended up mentioning how he would have made them work all night or better yet hung them by their toe nails.
"Thank Merlin that's over!" cried George tearing his gloves off with Fred following suit.
The flowing morning the twins begrudgingly got up and went to Potions. They took their normal seat next to Lee.
"I forgot parchment, lend me some," requested Lee leaning over to George.
George reached into his pocket and pulled out some parchment and handed it over to Lee.
After a few moments Lee sarcastically whispered, "Ha-ha, very funny, giving me parchment that can't be written on."
Fred and George exchanged confused looks as Lee pulled out his wand to try and un-break the spell.
"Reveal you magic," ordered Lee.
Immediately the tidy scrawl that Fred and George had come to know appeared on the parchment.
Mr. Wormtail regrets to inform Mr. Lee Jordan that there is no magic to revealMr. Mooney would appreciated it if Lee Jordan would keep is wand where it belongs, up his nose
Fred and George began to snigger at Mooney's insult as the parchment continued:
Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Mooney and thinks that the wand up Mr. Lee Jordan's nose would improve his looks
Mr. Padfood asks how can you can you improve such rotten looks as that of Lee Jordan's?
Lee sat for a moment mouth agape. After he got over his initial shock and surprise he asked, "Zonko's product?"
"Actually no," answered Fred taking the parchment.
"Then you made it?" asked Lee with excitement.
"Well, you see," began George pulling out his wand. He was going to show Lee that the parchment would insult everyone including himself.
"What's this?" demanded Snape making his way over to Fred and Georges table, "Three you Gryffindors not doing their work?"
"Well, um – " stumbled George being unable to find his tounge.
"That will be 10 points each from Gryffindor for not doing your work, and I expect two extra copies of your notes and homework by next class."
Snape then turned back for the front of the room. While Snape's back was turned George mumbled, "Snape is nothing but a greasy git."
When George said that his hand and wand had been resting on the parchment. It came to life the moment George mad his statement.
"Hey Fred, look," George pointed when he saw the map come to life.
Mr. Wormtail is glad to see that the Weasley twin George agrees.
Mr. Mooney would like to congratulate George for making such an astute observation
Mr. Padfoot reminds Mr. George Weasley that be forgot to mention that Severus Snape is hook nosed as well
Mr. Prongs consents that George Weasley must have at least half a brain to make such an astute observation of Snape
Fred and George gave each other a look of surprise before they folded up the parchment and put it away.
"Do you believe it?" asked Fred after potions class, "It insulted Snape!"
"I know, there is something to this parchment," agreed George.
"I say we spend the week figuring it out."
"I agree whole heartedly little bro," grinned George.
"Not the little bro thing again!"
