k3l-4-d0m: Hello and thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Yes, it has been a slow and tedious process with Ginny and Harry and their transformation, it is coming and it will be the most special transformation between them both, if I say any more it will give it away. It is coming soon I promise and it won't be much longer.

Cycla: Thank you so much for the kind words. I am glad you like how I did Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, it is how I see them reacting to things so far but you will see more of their reactions to things coming in the next few chapters and towards the end of the story. After reading all five books, I kinda got the feeling he just does what he does to please his family and is bullied by Malfoy into doing bad things. He just seems like he would rather be somewhere else and doing other things and you are very welcome. I do hope that you enjoy this chapter as well.

wolfgurl: I want to start by thanking you for giving my story a chance and reading it and thank you so much for thinking it is excellent. Thank you for the complement about my improving over the course of the story. I have went back and change the mistake with aloud to allowed but I haven't posted it yet I guess, I though I had. When I started this story I wanted to show how they were growing up and maturing and then I read an interview with Jk and that is what she said would be happening in book six. I am debating on if I will write a version of book seven or not but I will let my readers know if I am or not when I finish this one. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story.

PLOT HOLE!: Answer is in this chapter and you will see why it looked like there was a hole in the plot, all part of the plan (wink). I hope you will enjoy finding out why it went the way it did but most of the answers will come up iin the next chapter or two. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Chapter 42

New Revelations and the start of Hermione's revenge

The next morning everyone in the group met up in the entrance hall and headed into breakfast; Mark had been sitting with the others off and on but for the past four days, he was always with them during meals. Luna had been joining them even more at the Gryffindor table for the past four days, they were making sure that everyone stayed safe. As everyone started in on his or her breakfast, the owl post started arriving; Ron looked up since they were expecting some news from his parents. The first owl to arrive flew right to Hermione; she pulled the money from her bag and paid the owl for the Daily Prophet, unfolded the paper and started reading. The next thing they knew she had spat out her juice and was coughing hard trying to catch her breath. Many people at the table gave her a strange look but her friends looked worried. She laid the paper out so everyone could gather round to read what had upset her.

The Daily Prophet

Story by; Rita Skeeter

Independent Reporter

The Failed Attempt to Free Azkaban Prison

Early Sunday morning, somewhere in the north, a number of deatheater's tried to free their comrades from the prison known as Azkaban. The Minister of Magic and many others have tried to keep this out of the papers, for what reasons we do not know. The information I have received is reliable and to the misfortune of the Minister of Magic, I am reporting this story to the wizarding world. Ten known deatheater's, were taken into custody in the wee hours Sunday morning; there was one deatheater that will shock the good people of the wizarding world. Fifteen years ago, Sirius Black was accused of killing his old friend Peter Pettigrew and as we know from the story that was written last year concerning Sirius Black's Will, that many said that he was innocent of all charges and that Pettigrew was alive. From the information I received, Peter Pettigrew was one of the deatheater's taken into custody Sunday morning.

This story had been set to print and was going to be in the Monday morning edition of the Daily Prophet but I received and owl telling me to wait, that news would follow soon. Late yesterday afternoon, I received an owl that informed me that the prisoner Peter Pettigrew, was not who he had seemed to be. When ministry officials arrived to question Pettigrew under the potion Veritaserum, he was not in his bed but instead an unknown man was fast asleep in the bed, on the floor was a silver hand flask, which contained Polyjuice potion within the container. After checking the flask they found that it had an unbreakable charm and a replenishing charm placed on it, the source of where the potion came from is unknown at this time. We know that this man was able to use the Polyjuice potion, only because Peter Pettigrew has to be alive, to brew a perfect potion you do have to have a piece of the person you are to impersonate. I am sure that this news will come as a blow to his old friend Remus J. Lupin, who had been one of the people to surrender this imposter to Auror's Sunday morning.

This being more proof that Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore of Hogwarts have told us the truth again; Pettigrew's finger that had been left behind fifteen years ago had been given to his mother along with awards. Where is the finger today since his mother has long passed from this world; it was sealed and had been placed somewhere with in the department of mysteries and they have confirmed the finger is still there. Once again this confirms that Peter Pettigrew is alive and somewhere in the wizarding world and proves the story that he was the one who was and is a deatheater, it also proves to me and I hope to the rest of the wizarding world that Sirius Black was framed and innocent. We as a wizarding community can only hope that the Minister of Magic will open his eyes and start helping in the fight; if not we as a wizarding community need to have him booted out of office and replaced with someone that will take charge and do the job right. My condolences to any member of the Pettigrew family, that are still with us out there; knowing that their family member is and will always be a deatheater and to Harry Potter and Mr. Remus Lupin, my condolences for not getting the right person.

Harry looked up at the staff table; he could tell that Remus had not read the Daily Prophet yet. He took the copy that Hermione had received and headed to the staff table, the staff watched as he walked up to Remus and handed the paper to him, his eyes went wide and then he slammed the paper down and left the great hall. Harry let him go, he knew he would need time to himself, and the worst part of the whole thing, they had celebrated about the capture of the rat that had betrayed his parents. Harry made his way back to his friends and grabbed his books and headed out of the great hall, the rest letting him have time alone. They all finished their breakfast and then headed to class; they all could tell it was going to be a long day.

Remus had been waiting for Harry out in the hall; they headed to Remus's quarters with out saying a word. Both were thinking the same thing as they walked; Voldemort had fooled them and they were pissed. Once inside the quarters, Remus sent a note by owl to Dumbledore and informed him that Harry was with him and that he was not sure if either of them would be out the rest of the day. Dumbledore sent a note back, informing Remus, he would take his classes for the day and would inform Harry's professors that he would be in special training with him for the rest of the day. Harry felt stupid for not realizing that Wormtail had been in his visions, not only just before the attack on Azkaban but after; he had been in the vision he had seen with Voldemort during his potions class a few days ago. Remus didn't feel any better then Harry, he had watched the memory of Voldemort and had missed his old school mate getting the five deatheater's and bringing them to him. His only excuses was that he had been so worried about Harry he didn't pay attention as well as he should have, he was sure that Dumbledore was thinking about what they all had missed and was blaming himself for not seeing the traitor in the memories.

Professor McGonagall had pulled Ron, Hermione, and Neville aside after their transfiguration class and had informed them that Harry was safe, with their DADA professor and that they might not see him until later that night. At lunch Ron informed Luna, Ginny and Mark where Harry was and for them not to worry he would see them later on that evening, even though she didn't understand how she already knew but she knew what was going on in Harry's mind and that he was ok.

(Headquarters that morning)

Molly Weasley had been sitting at the kitchen table reading over the note that had arrived from Dumbledore, she didn't know if she should be worried or not. The events of the past few days were weighing heavy on her mind and on her heart. The children had requested that her and her husband come to Hogwarts on Saturday, no given time but that the earlier they could get there the better. The note informed them that the children wanted to talk to her and Arthur and that it was important and it had to be this Saturday. Her husband was at the ministry finishing some last minute paperwork; he knew there would be an argument about him taking time off if he did not have it done. He would be informing them he was taking some personal time off; he would not return to work until Monday morning. To the displeasure of Molly, he had informed her that if they would not let him have the time off he would quit his job and that would be that. She did not agree with what he planned to do if they refused, she hoped it would not come to that, but if it did she would stand behind his decision and support him no matter what happened.

There was a tapping at the window, this brought her out of her thoughts and looked up to see an owl sitting on the ledge of the window. When she got to the window she noticed the Daily Prophet tied to the owls leg; there was a note attached to the paper and she wondered who had sent it to her since she did not subscribe to that rag of a paper any more. She lifted the window and relieved the owl of its burden and the owl flew away, someone had paid this owl to deliver this to her and it made her worry that it had something to do with the meeting with her children. She took the note and read it first; she was surprised to see who had sent it to her.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weasley,

I hope that you both are doing well and this finds you both in good health. I hope you don't mind but I felt that you both should see the article that I had published in the Daily Prophet this morning. I am doing everything in my power to print the truth about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and repairing the damage, I have done against Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore. You will also notice that I am doing everything I can to help Harry Potter clear his godfathers name, there is someone sending me plenty of information that Minister Fudge does not want the wizarding world to know and I plan on letting it out; either through the Daily Prophet or through the Quibbler.

Please let me know if I do not have all the information straight and I will make sure that the information is corrected, reprinted, and published in one of the papers. Mr. Potter has found it in his heart to forgive me for what I have said in the past and has let me help him in the quest to help clear Sirius Blacks name. You may talk to him first to make sure this is all right with him but if there is ever any information that you have that will help this cause please contact me and I will make sure the truth is printed in either paper. Thank you for your time and I do hope that you will both read the article.

Yours in friendship

Rita Skeeter

Molly Weasley sat there in shock, she did not know if she should read the article or not but her curiosity got the better of her and she opened up the paper and started to read. As she read the paper, her heart sank at the thought that when her husband saw this he would not be happy. He had helped keep Remus from killing this man and now he was not who they thought he was. She reread it before floo calling her husband at work, had he seen the Prophet this morning and if not how would he react and there was only one-way to find out. Hesitantly she went over to the fireplace and through in the floo powder and a small Phoenix feather, called out "Arthur Weasley's office," and stuck her head into the fireplace. Her husband was sitting in his chair, with his head bent over the desk working on some parchment.

"Arthur" she said as he turned in his chair.

"Molly dear, is there something wrong?"

"Have you seen the Prophet this morning?"

"No and I thought you quit reading that "Rag" as you put it."

"I was sent a copy this morning and I think you should read it."

"I'll be home in an hour and I will read it then ok."

"No, you should read it now and I think we should head to Hogwarts early."

"Did something bad happen dear?"

"In a way it did Arthur, the man that was captured Sunday morning that you thought was Peter Pettigrew; well he wasn't. He was using Polyjuice potion and well we need to get to Hogwarts as soon as we can."

"Yes, I understand dear, I will be home as soon as I can and well send an owl to Albus and tell him we are coming early. I should be home with in the next thirty minutes ok."

"I will have everything ready by then dear but do hurry."

"I will love and don't worry too much."

"See you soon dear," and with that she pulled her head out of the fireplace.

Arthur Weasley finished his paper work and headed for headquarters. When he arrived home twenty minutes late, his wife had lunch on the table for him and as they ate, he read the article in the Daily Prophet and the note that Rita Skeeter had sent with the paper; he would take this with him for Harry and Dumbledore to see. By eleven-thirty they were ready, with soft pops from them both they apparated into Hogsmeade, and started their walk towards the castle.

(Hermione, Ginny, and Luna going over the plans)

Hermione had pulled Ginny and Luna away from the others so she could talk with them alone before they went to classes; they had to make sure everything was ready for the show that would go on all during the day and on through Sunday. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna had been planning revenge on Lavender Brown for some time now and today would be the day it happened. They had not let the boys know what they were doing; this would be the Lady Marauders prank and only theirs. It was their way to show Lavender and the female population of Hogwarts what would happen if they tried to mess with one of their boyfriends and they were sure that if any of the male population ever tried to mess with them that Ron, Neville and Harry would do the same thing.

Between Hermione, Ginny and Luna they had came up with the several idea's and had sent them off to Fred and George, Fred and George had the job of making the idea's do what the girls wanted. It had taken them some time but in the end, they had perfected each idea and sent them back with their blessing; the two inventors were happy to help them return the favor of humiliation (this being the modus operandi of the twins). Hermione worked her plans of revenge on the basic notion that Lavender Brown was vain and held her beauty as her asset and this was her weapon against her fellow Gryffindor. With working on this for a few months, Hermione had been able to get the entire specifics about her makeup, which company made it, where she got it and had even sent the twins a catalog so they could make sure it looked the same. The Weasley Wizard Wheeze makeup kit contained Base makeup, powder, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, lip-gloss, eyeliner, lip liner, blush, and body glitter. The twins had sent her a list of what each did and how the charms or potions used, could be changed with each product.

Our Dearest Hermione,

The writing changed as did the color, they were writing this together. She wondered if there was anything, they did alone.

Enclosed you will find a list of each product and what each will do; with your permission after you have completed your revenge we want to market this product in our shop and as always with any ideas the Marauders come up will be supplied to you for free.

We as in George and I enjoyed your ideas for the makeup kit and we are sure that it will be a great success. We know that this is hard for you

As my brother, Fred has stated, you being you and all this prank stuff is really cool. We honor the prefect bookworm and hope that we can help you again soon.

We know that our little sis and Luna helped you with these ideas; so let them know how much we love their devious minds.

We have included a list of the products and what they can do; use them well and pass on where you got them.

Hermione you really are one smart witch and George and I are glad to be of service to you. Until your next plan idea, good luck.

Fred and George Weasley

Hermione informed the two other girls that she had already set into action the first part of the plan, while Lavender was in the shower she had changed out the contents of her makeup case with the Weasley Wizard Wheeze makeup kit and had added the Skin Lotion potion to her body lotion. Hermione had informed them that she had put a time release spell on all the products; this way they would start working as soon as she sat down in her first class. Lavender had divination for her first class today, so they would only hear about what had happened in that class. Hermione, Ron, and Neville would get to see some of the affects in their Herbology class at ten that morning and Hermione was showing signs of being over excited. Ron and Neville weren't sure why she was acting that way but felt it was better not to ask; she was know for spouting off long and drawn out explanations and they didn't want to have to listen to that today.

When it was time to head to Herbology, many students noticed Hermione not acting like she normally did. She was literally dragging Neville and Ron out of the castle and out onto the grounds of Hogwarts; she was trying to get them to run but failed. Hermione pushed them trough the door and they made their way to their table they sat at during every class. Five minutes after they arrived, you could hear a commotion outside of green house six; Hermione made the boys stay in their seats and they waited to see who was making the commotion. In Hermione's opinion she didn't come into the class quick enough but when she did, Hermione lost it; she burst out laughing. There stood Lavender Brown covered in green scales on her legs, arms and face; her lips were swollen twice their normal size, when she tried to talk she would speak in gibberish and was scratching her face. Even with the scales on her skin, you could see lines of gold; running here and running there but the part that almost made Ron and Neville fall off their stools was when a very sexual drawing started forming on her forehead, they soon disappeared and new ones formed. Slowly on each cheek new drawings started, on each cheek there soon formed nude figures of a man and a woman. These figures started moving towards each other stopping at the corners of her lips and then disappearing. Hermione was laughing so hard but knew she didn't have much time, she pulled out her muggle camera and started snapping pictures; yes, Fred and George were going to love this.

Hermione stopped at five pictures; she had the whole day ahead of her and wanted to make sure she had enough film to catch Lavender at lunch, dinner and any other classes over the next few days. Hermione quickly explained to Ron and Neville what the Lady Marauders had done to her so far and would explain more about it later to them, Ron and Neville gave her a proud smile and sat back watching the show and waiting for class to start.

Professor Sprout came out of her office and noticed what was going on with her student and hurried over to her; she tried to get her to head to the hospital wing but Parvati Patil explained to her that they had already been to see Madam Pomfrey and that there was nothing that could be done to help her. The matron had explained that someone had pulled a prank on her and that she was not able to undo what ever the person had done but that it would wear off in time. Someone had put a charm on either her or what ever they used for the prank it made it where no one could cancel out the charms, potions or hexes they had used. Parvati explained that the matron had said it looked like the work of the Weasley twins and had simply walked away from them shaking her head.

Professor Sprout sent them to their seats and started her class; she informed the class that they were going to be cultivating the flowers from the Dragon Lily plant.

"Now class, you must keep your wits about you when cultivating these flowers, if you are do not pay attention and use care you will kill the flower or the plant. It takes three years for these plants to mature before we can cultivate the flowers. You must harvest these flowers with a gentle touch; these flowers are used in many potions for healing, helping in fertility potions and other countless potions that are not frequently used in the wizarding world."

"It is said that these flowers have been used in some potions used by dark wizards and witches over the centuries; it is said that such potions that use these flowers gives the user extended life or if combined with spells or other means will help the wizard (or witch) gain more power or eternal life. Know that this is rumor and as far as I know there is not any written fact to confirm this; now before you start cultivating the flowers, read the first three paragraphs starting on page 396 and then begin."

As the class started reading you could hear people giggling around the green house; not one person could keep from looking at Lavender during the class. Professor Sprout, in the end had to excuses her from class and sent her back to her dorm so the rest of the class could concentrate on their task. Due to the time wasted, only ninety percent of the flowers had been cultivated, if the rest were not cultivated before midnight that night, they would die. If the rest died, it would be another three years before they would have blooms again; Neville had talk to professor Sprout about coming during his free period and finishing the task and if he didn't finish he would be there to help her during the night. She just gave him a proud smile and informed him that she had seventh years after lunch and for him not to worry it would get done, she thanked him for his kind offer and sent him off to lunch.

When Neville caught up with Ron and Hermione, they were just entering the castle; Ron had to smile; now Hermione might tell him about what she had done to Lavender. He was disappointed when she just kept walking to the great hall for lunch. Luna and Ginny were already sitting at the Gryffindor table; talking in whispers and looking around the great hall. As soon as Hermione reached the table, they both pulled her into a seat and asked what had happened to Lavender so far during the morning.

"Well, all I can tell you two is what happened in Herbology class." She said this with an evil smile on her face

"Go on" came form all four of her friends

"Well, as you can tell from the wicked smiles on those two, it was brilliant. I know that she used her lotion because her skin was all scaly and green; I'm not sure which ones she used but I do know that she had swollen lips, was talking in gibberish and had the lines going all over her bear skin. Oh my, we did really well with that idea about the sexual images; we were able to see two different sexual things come out on her skin before professor Sprout sent her back to the dorms. The first was on her forehead and it resembled a woman on her knees and the man (she was blushing a Weasley red by this time), well you know, he was behind her. The second had a man and a woman nude, one on each cheek moving towards each other; by the time, they got to the corners of her lips they disappeared. I took five pictures and will take more when she comes into lunch."

"Has anyone heard what happened to her in her first class?"

"Oh, we have Ron, you see while Luna and I been sitting here, well lets just say that there has been a lot of talk. By what we have heard, well professor Trelawney had called on Lavender and Parvati to read from their dream journal and she started out in her normal voice and then started talking in gibberish. Well you know how Trelawney is; she made it sound like Lavender had the inner eye for people who spoke gibberish. Lavender broke out in tears and Parvati tried to calm her and got her to write down what was going on."

"Needless to say, professor Trelawney sent her to Madam Pomfrey when she noticed her skin was green and scaly. A few people got to see some forms shape on the back of her legs and lets just say they were very graphic," Luna said finishing up they story they had heard.

"OK, now girls tell us poor blokes what you have done and why you did it?" asked Ron

"Well oh brother of mine, we girls as you so nicely put it have started the revenge on her for the hell she put Hermione and you through."

"And we are, well how do you say; we are showing the rest of the female population not to mess with any of our men," Luna said with an evil smirk on her face.

"Ginny, Luna, and I came up with some ideas and sent them off to Fred and George you see and well they made them work and we are testing them out on Lavender and getting my revenge on her."

"Don't forget Hermione, we as the partial inventor's of these products get free stuff from the twins and a part of the profits when they start to sell them; you brothers are brilliant Ron and made sure we will have plenty of pranks and pocket money."

"Does Harry know about all this?"

"No, we did this on our own, it was what we like to call the first prank of the "Lady Marauders," and it will last until Sunday evening."

"Don't forget Hermione some of the things might last longer then that, maybe up to a month."

"Ginny is right, some of the products will last up to a month if we want them to or we could take mercy on her and cancel them out at any time."

"Luna, remind me to never piss you off and remember that I am your boyfriend."

"Don't worry Neville; I would never forget you are my boyfriend."

"I just hope Harry will come to dinner and be able to see some of this; he could sure use the laugh at seeing some of what you did to her."

"So right you are Ron," came form the girls.

Lavender didn't show up for lunch but made it to her class after lunch; Hermione could tell that she had showered and had changed some of her makeup. During Care for Magical Creatures, she would speak in parseltongue and if she didn't know better it sounded like it was coming out in rhyme. By the time class was over her eyelashes were starting to grow, slowly at first but by the time they reached potions class; the speed of growth had increased; Parvati would use a severing charm to shorten the lashes every now and then so she could see. This only made the lashes grow faster; in the end, Parvati would periodically pin them back into her hair. Professor Snape gave her a disgusted look and informed his class he would not have any interruptions because of her abnormalities and if there were any interruptions, he would deduct house points from both houses. The potions class was going well with professor Snape walking around the class; until Lavenders cauldron exploded all over the place and covered her and half the class with the potion, their professor getting covered by the potion as he passed her desk.

No one moved; he looked around as if to try to find someone to blame it on besides her; the anger evident on his face waved his wand and made the mess disappear and then round on her. As he was yelling at her for adding the wrong ingredient at the wrong time, he noticed glitter falling from her eyelids, which made him even madder and told her that if she ever wore glitter to his classroom again he would kick her out of his class. Everyone wanted to laugh but knew if they did; their potion's professor would give them detention, though the Slytherin's were laughing so hard they were falling out of their seats. Professor Snape gave Lavender a weeks worth of detention and ordered everyone to clean up and leave his class; giving the whole class a four foot parchment due on Monday about the use of the Dragon Lily and what potions it could be used in. He wanted this information in detail for every potion, how it is used, how it was cultivated, and who had invented these potions.

Lavender Brown left class in tears; for one slight moment Hermione felt bad about what she was doing to the girl but it passed quickly when Ron took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. All thoughts of pity for the girl left her brain and a smile broke out on her face, yes, life was good and she could not wait for dinner tonight. They heard that she had been crying so hard she had ran into Malfoy coming out of the dungeons and had ran all the way to Gryffindor tower. By the time, they reached the staircase to head up to their common room they could hear people talking about Lavender and the things they had seen. The X-rated pictures that would appear on her skin impressed most of the students, Ron could only comment about how his brothers were going to make a fortune from the ideas the girls had come up with and sent to them.

Well I have decided to end this here, if not I think this chapter would hit over 10,000 words. In the next chapter, I will cover the arrival of Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, the meeting with Dobby and Winky, and touch a bit on the book, the object, potion, and the spell that Voldemort is after. We will also see a bit more of what the girls did to Lavender before they realize that Ron and Ginny's parents have arrived early.
