Author's note: I know you don't really see it in this chapter, but you will later. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are totally stupid and nasty in this story. I apologize but it added humor and it's just the way I wrote it. So you're forewarned.
Wakey Wakey
Slowly and quietly, so as to not wake anyone up, Fred and George snuck into the 7th year girls' dormitories. Alex's body lay in a heap upon her bed, while the boys watched her body rise and fall slowly with each breath. George quietly walked over to her bed and threw her covers back, unsuccessfully. Alex simply moved into a more comfortable position and continued to sleep. Growing frustrated, Fred walked up next to his brother and poked her on the cheek. Alex moved away from them slightly and Fred knew he has succeeded! Fred gave his brother a maniacal grin.
"Leave me alone." Alex grumbled and turned over, pretending to still be asleep.
"Alex?" George once again tried to wake her by shaking her slightly. In response Alex threw up her arm to try to punch George, but missed. Fred moved to the bottom of her bed and grabbed her feet. He began to tickle her. Alex tried violently to kick him, but to no avail.
George crawled into bed next to her. "Wakey wakey." Alex turned her face towards him and gingerly shoved George off of her bed. Fred's laughter boomed through the quiet dormitory, and despite his best efforts he couldn't keep the volume down.
"Bloody hell, it's still dark out! What do you want?" Fred hastily put his hand over her mouth.
"Don't wake the other girls!" He whispered.
"Like you didn't already wake them. What do you want anyway?" Alex glared as she spoke.
"Don't you remember the plan?" George asked after gathering himself from the floor.
"Plan?" Alex asked. She wanted nothing more than to curl up in her warm bed and sleep but she had been so rudely awakened. She gave them her best I-hope-you-die-today look.
"How could you forget! We just told you about it last night! And you agreed to help us!" Fred had lost the control and started to raise his voice. The other girl's in the dormitories rustled around in their beds.
"How could you expect me to remember another one of your harebrained ideas before the sun is even up! I need a certain number of hours of sleep or I get bitchy, you know." She glared at George who smiled in return.
"We've noticed." Alex once again shot the twins a death look.
"If looks could kill…" Fred started.
'We'd be dead!" Both twins smiled as though this was the funniest thing they had ever heard.
Alex sighed. There was no winning with these two when they were like this, and no one knew that better than her. The other girls had begun to move around more at the sound of her voice. "Stupid, plan." She mumbled under her breath.
"Well come on let's go." George said grabbing her arm and pulling her up from her bed.
"Fine, fine. Let me get changed." Alex stumbled towards her trunk. "Ugh, why does it have to be so dark in here?"
"Oh and Alex-" George started.
"What?" She snapped.
"You might not want to wear a skirt for this one." George warned her, completely serious, as though the situation were life or death.
Alex sighed. "Wonderful." She mumbled under her breath to herself. She pulled out her oldest, most ripped pair of jeans and an old t-shirt that had been stained during another one of Fred and George's pranks back in their 5th year. "Well turn around you two." Both the boys stared at her blankly. Alex was losing her patience. "I'm about to change you idiots. If you wouldn't mind I'd like some privacy. Now turn around!" They both turned around quickly. Alex slowly changed into her jeans, almost falling down in the process. She wasn't fully awake yet, and her thoughts centered on the most vicious ways to get revenge on the twins
"You can turn back around now." Alex told them. They both started to laugh in unison when they saw her. She looked into the mirror. Her long black hair was sticking out in every direction. Though she would never admit it in front of the twins, it was rather amusing. Instead she grabbed her brush and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She figured that would be the safest bet, considering the twins probably had something ludicrous planned and her hair might be burned off. "So what exactly are we doing? I need to plan accordingly so I'm comfortable." By this time Alex was used to being put into sticky situations by Fred and George. She might as well be comfy while she's doing it.
"We won't disclose the plans right here just incase we have some prying ears." Fred stated as though he were an undercover spy on a very top secret mission.
She stared at him. None of the girl's had awoken, yet. Their loud snores echoed in the small room. "Oh this is going to be good." Alex's voice dripped with sarcasm.
"To the office!" George stated and threw his arm in the air. Both boys snickered. Alex just shook her head.
"As long as it's not the loo this time." Fred turned around and grinned evilly at her. "This is ridiculous. I am not going to have a 'secret meeting' in the bathroom with you too."
"Afraid of what people may say?" George taunted her.
"They've already started to talk about it. You two have single-no I guess it would be double handedly tarnished my reputation already."
"Good than there is nothing to discuss." Alex shot Fred a nasty look.
"I hate that bloody bathroom." Alex knew that place only to well and didn't feel like seeing it this early in the morning. "I want breakfast before we start."
Fred stopped abruptly and Alex and George simultaneously walked into him almost knocking him to the ground. "Watch where you're walking!" Fred grumbled.
"If you have just told us you were going to stop, it could have been avoided." Alex pointed out. In response Fred stuck his tongue out. "You're acting like you are ten years old.
"I was stopping to tell you that if you'd prefer we can have our meeting in here. But the moment someone comes we stop and it's back to the loo!"
Alex smiled. "Okay, but what about breakfast?" Her stomach grumbled as if to convince Fred.
"There isn't enough time. We'll grab some later." Alex reluctantly agreed. George plopped down on the big red couch in the common room. Fred sat down next to him. There was a robust fire burning in the fireplace. Alex sat on the floor next to it, savoring the heat it emitted from a safe distance away from the boys. "So what's the master plan boys?"
"You should remember." Fred commented shaking his head.
"Well anyway, you know we've played tricks on almost everyone but Dumbledore."
And-" Alex didn't like where this conversation was going already. "Wait, I would remember if you told me you were going to do something to Dumbledore, because I would have told you both how incredibly daft you are." Fred gave her a devilish grin. "What did you do to me?" Alex asked suspicious of their intentions. She had never forgotten a prank that Fred and George pulled in the years they had attended Hogwarts together.
Fred and George both looked highly offended. "I can't believe you would accuse us of doing anything to you!"
"We didn't do anything to you. You drank too much pumpkin juice." George looked at her darkly.
"Pumpkin juice would affect my memory George." Alex gave him her no-nonsense voice.
"Unless we added something to it, but that's beside the point." George muttered under his breath. Alex slugged him. "Ow. That hurt."
"Good, you deserved it." Alex turned to Fred and slugged him.
"What was that for?" Fred asked rubbing his arm.
"For helping George! I can't believe you did that to me! What did you put in my drink anyway?"
"Nothing you couldn't handle." Fred winked at her.
"Ugh. I'm going to end up dead thanks to you too someday."
"Now don't say that. We would never intentionally hurt you." George tried but failed miserably to reassure Alex.
"Or so she thinks." Fred added quietly with an evil grin.
"I heard that!"
"SHHH! Keep your voice down. We don't want people eavesdropping!"
Alex threw her hands up in defeat. "Okay, fine. Now tell me what you have planned!" She took her place by the fire again.
"Unbelievable." George muttered shaking his head.
"I heard that too!" Alex raised her hand in a menacing way. George flinched and she laughed. "You know I would never actually hurt you George." She patted his cheek and then slapped him softly. George grabbed her round the waist and started to tickle her. Alex fell laughing and tried to crawl away. "Ok enough of that." She said once she reached the other side of the common room but even at that distance she knew she wasn't safe.
"Well back to the details if you two are done." Fred shook his head even though he was smiling. "Anyway so Dumbledore is our next victim…"
"You can't actually believe you can pull something over on Dumbledore!" Alex could not believe the audacity of the twins.
"Just listen!" Alex sat quietly and listened intently as he told her their plan. The three of them snaked off to set their plan into order.
"Did you hear that?" Harry asked Ron. Ron looked at Harry like he was an idiot. How could he have not heard that? They were only a few feet away from where Fred, George, and Alex had been seconds before.
"Yeah and what should we do about it?" Ron asked. "You know it is a pretty good idea. We should just leave them at it."
"What about revenge? I thought you really wanted to get back at them." Harry commented frowning at Ron.
"You're right. I do, but why not another time? Or we could blackmail them about the whole situation." Ron offered.
Harry grinned. "Yeah, but let's follow them. I want to see it." Ron and Harry silently followed Fred, George and Alex. Luckily the older students were only feet ahead of them and Harry and Ron had the invisibility cloak.
