"So, what do you do for fun around here?" wondered Fred.

"Yeah, it's not like they can punish us for causing trouble," George added, "being stuck in the past and all."

"You know, I'm really starting to like you two," said Sirius. "Let's see, we could-"

"Might I remind you, Sirius," Remus interrupted, "that while they may not be punished, we certainly will be."

"Come on, Remus," Sirius complained, "You're such a-"

"And, as I recall," continued Remus, "someone has a rather length History of Magic essay due on Monday. Have you even started that?"

"Can't I just get Pettigrew to do it?" asked Sirius. "It's not every day you get to entertain time travelers, after all."

"Well...if you must," Remus said.

Sirius turned in his chair and let out a yell. "Peter! Oh, Peter!"

A short, stout boy came scurrying over. "Yes, Sirius?"

"Well Peter, you see, I have this silly little essay to do, but I'm rather fatigued from doing all my other homework. So I was wondering if you could-"

"Sure, Sirius! Whatever you want!" said Peter as he hurried off to the library.

Harry watched him leave. "If you'll excuse me a moment," he said, getting up to follow Peter.

Fred and George exchanged glances. "Let's go."

"Are we just not any fun?" wondered Sirius as Fred and George rushed after Harry.

They caught up with him just outside the Gryffindor portrait hole. "What do you think you're doing, Harry?"

"I think you know the answer to that question."

"You can't."

"Why not? If I just kill him now, he can't hurt anyone. Sirius, all those muggles..."

"Not to mention your mum and dad," added Fred. "We know."

"But you can't," said George. "As Hermione says, 'Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time.'"

"Did you just quote Hermione?" asked Fred.

"Not on purpose."

"You did!"

"Don't tell anyone."

"Not a soul."

The twins turned their attention back to the matter at hand. "Well, Harry?"

"Fine, I won't kill him."

"Promise?" said George.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Cross your heart, hope to-"George paused as Fred, deciding that "die" would not be an appropriate word at the moment, elbowed him in the ribs. "Ouch! Nevermind."

"Well, shall we go back to the Common Room, then?" asked Fred.

"Yes," George agreed, "I think we've done enough good for one day."


Well, nothing much happened in that chapter, did it? Sorry about that. But I would still love it if you would review, and thank you once again to everyone who has. My apologies for not posting yesterday, my computer was broken so I couldn't go online all day. Ahh! It's better now, though, so please review! Thanks! -Luna
