Chapter eight: Transfer, Exchange, and Flash!
Hermione Grangers Diary
Monday September 1st 2:30pm
Well here I am. The Hogwarts Express, heading for my last year at the best thing that has ever happened to me. Its so exciting and depressing at the same time!
I guess I should try filling you in on what's going on, lets see...After everybody went to bed last night, I stayed up real late thinking over how insane Dumbledore must be to hire out the twins, but that didn't really bother me, I was more pondering me and Bill. Some crazy things crossed my mind, like what if we got married, or he wanted me to move in with him when I graduate!
I doubt that would happen, and its not like I'm going to expect it or anything, but the thing I'm really concerned about, is what if he wants to have -well erm, sexual intercourse! I don't think I'm ready for that! I always wanted my first time to be on my wedding night, so what if he tries to get me to have sex! And then when I say I can't, he dumps me! Oh I don't know what I would do, that'd be just dreadful!
Any way, after I finally fell asleep I was woken up not 5 seconds later by Mrs. Weasley! Ok yes that is a bit of an exaggeration, but still it was friggin early and I was exhausted, but I got up anyway took my shower got dressed and finished packing some things into my trunk. As I was finishing up my breakfast, Ron and Harry finally made it down stairs, they hurriedly stuffed their faces, and I left to bring my things down stairs.
As I was coming out with my trunk floating behind me, I was practically run over by them coming back up. Stupid boys, they wouldn't have to rush so much if they actually packed, and got up when they were supposed to.
So we all apparated to an empty alley way near the station where the ministry had created an apparation point, Ginny went side along with her father since she isn't allowed to apparate yet. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley went and got carts for all of our luggage and we left the alley, heading towards platform nine and three-quarters. The twins went first, then Bill and Ginny, Harry, Ron and me came next, followed quickly by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. We exchanged a teary (by Mrs. Weasley) goodbye, before having our trunks hauled on the train and into our compartment.
I headed up to the front with Ron and Ginny to the Prefects compartment, where we'd have our first meeting of the term. Oh Yeah I forgot to say, I got head girl! When Ron saw he just rolled his eyes and said, "No surprise." But me and Ginny went crazy running around the house like 8 year old girls, I was so excited! But anyway we went up front, and met with all the other prefects, and I discovered that Blaise Zabini was head boy, and Professor McGonagall informed us we'd be sharing a common room. Honestly I'm not entirely thrilled, but I'm sure it will be loads better then if it were Draco Malfoy.
So then after the meeting we went back to join Harry, who we discovered talking with Neville, and Luna. Not long into the ride Bill, Fred and George came to visit, and me and Bill had a quick reunion in the corner of the compartment, before he had to leave. Although before he did go he whispered in my ear that he was going to get me a one month anniversary present in Hogsmeade as soon as he was off the train. I giggled.
I still feel really weird about that...So then Malfoy made his customary visit, we ignored him, and he left, although he didn't hesitate to rub the fact that he and Cho (who failed 7th year because she was "so miserable over losing Cedric and Harry, and couldn't concentrate worth a damn" and had to repeat the year) were now going out. Harry laughed. He was so into Ginny it didn't bother him at all.
Ginny Smiled and said to Malfoy, "Aw isn't that sweet the ferret and Cho the Hoe are a couple." Malfoy sneered and left apparently unable to think of a come back, git. So then we all just talked and caught up with all our friends who we hadn't seen during the summer holidays. And then as usual the subject turned to Quidditch and I tuned them out and decided to write this.
Oh wow this is like the longest Diary entry like ever! ok cheers!
-Hermione
-------
Hermione sighed closing her Diary, with a small smile on her face, she looked around the compartment at her friends. Harry and Ginny were flirting like mad recently, and Hermione knew he would get up the courage to ask her soon. Hermione grinned widely, she'd seen it. Looks like Neville has his eye on a new lady this year...and woah! Looks like Luna feels the same way! Hermione's eyes then landed on Ron, he was probably the only one not really enjoying himself, he sat slightly isolated from the others staring out the window.
"Ron, we're still ok, right?" Hermione asked quietly, Ron looked up at her,
"Of course Hermione! I just feel a bit left out you know? Everyone here pretty much found someone for them, and I haven't." He said looking down at the last bit, Hermione reached over touching his arm gently,
"I wouldn't worry Ron, someone's gonna catch you up right quick, now that I'm out of the running." Ron grinned,
"Hermione you really are great you know that?"
"Course!" Hermione said like this was the most obvious thing ever, her and Ron both laughed. Following that, Ron got back into the groups conversations and seemed to really enjoy himself.
-------------------------
Ginny yawned as she sat down in between Harry and Hermione at the Gryffindor table. The train ride there had been lots of fun, and after taking the carriages over, they were now awaiting the sorting before she could eat and finally go to bed! Sitting on her butt almost the entire day on a train really wore her out, Ginny thought, rolling her eyes at herself.
She smiled as Harry took her hand under the table, just as the little scared first years filed in. Professor McGonagall placed down the stool and hat and as always they watched it split open and sing a cute little song about school houses, and how they should unite...Ginny tuned it out, looking around the hall until all the kids were done being sorted...she did pay attention enough to hear Harry say that they had 10 new little Gryffindors.
Ginny's eyes opened wide in shock when the doors opened up again and seven teenagers in muggle clothes walked into the great hall, they stopped in front of McGonagall just like the first years had. Her attention snapped back to the front as Dumbledore stood up, clearing his throat,
"Students I'd like to welcome you all back to another year at Hogwarts. But before we fill our stomachs with delicious foods, we have some more sorting that needs to be taken care of. Now I would like to introduce you to our five transfer students from America, and our two exchange students." A slightly warm amount of applause greeted the teens, who just sorta stood there looking around the hall.
"I will finish this after they've been sorted, if you please McGonagall." He said gesturing for her to begin.
Straightening her shoulders, the Professor, unrolled a short piece of parchment and began reading, "Best, Brooke."
A tall, pretty girl with glasses stepped up, her hands tucked into her back pockets causally. She had brownish blonde hair that came down to the bottom of her shoulder blades, and Ginny noticed the tips were dyed black. Sitting on the stool, she put the hat on her head and cocked her head apparently listening. A moment later, the hat cried,
"GRYFFINDOR!" Shrugging she placed the hat back down and walked over to where McGonagall pointed, she sat down near Ginny and her friends, studying the gold plate carefully before looking at the people around her. Then turning her attention back to the other new students, McGonagall said clearly,
"Carter, Allison." A petite brunette left the line, moving towards the front, she had very tan skin, and Ginny rubbed her pale arms subconsciously. She was quickly sorted into Gryffindor as well, followed by a Carter, Joshua, who had tan skin, and black hair that reached the middle of his neck. They sat down on either side of the Brooke girl.
An older boy named McDonald, Matthew was placed in Ravenclaw, he had short slightly spiky light brown hair, and a sweet smile, as he gave the last American girls hand a squeeze. She was a cute brunette, with a prominent chin, and short hair that came down to her sholders, and was also sorted into Ravenclaw, her name was McGill, Rebecka. Ginny watched as she settled into the seat next to the Matthew kid.
Next Professer McGonagall called out, " Lapeirre, Ilenya."
A beautiful, blonde girl, with hair that flowed to the middle of her back, walked forward, she had a perfect body and big blue eyes, all the male eyes in the room followed her behind, as her hips swayed just the slightest until she placed the hat on her head and sat on the stool. A moment later the hat called out, "RAVENCLAW!"
She stood up and followed the Americans to the Ravenclaw table. The only person left was a young man, with brown almost black hair that came down to the top of his eyebrows getting longer in the back, his eyes were a dark brown, and he sorta slumped. He had a slightly large nose, but he was handsome none the less, McGonagall called out his name, "Kuya, Jullian." he sorta shuffled a moment before just walking up and quickly sitting on the stool.
"Slytherin." Harry and Ron said together, resorting back to their favorite game to play when the first years were being sorted, and guessing which house they would be in, they usually were right.
The hat finally made a decision and said, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
There was a collective gasp around the room, "I really thought we had this one pinned!" Ron said,
"Apparently so did everyone else." Harry said looking confused. After Jullian had sat down, Dumbledore stood back up, and said,
"I know that this has been a longer sorting ceremony then usual, so I won't delay you much longer. The five American students, are from Sandlewood Academy of Magic, and by our system 6th year and above.
"The lovely Miss Lapeirre, is American also but has lived in Greece sine she was five, and is part of a the exchange program between countries. Mr. Kuya is from Russia, and is in the exchange program as well. Now that, that's said, let us eat!" and He sat down again, and instantly the food appeared on the tables.
Ron smiled digging in greedily, and Hermione who was closest to the new Americans, moved over one seat, and said, "Hi my name is Hermione, I'm head girl, and welcome to Hogwarts." She said shaking each of their hands in turn. Brooke nodded looking at her weird,
"Head girl?" she asked, Hermione smiled,
"Yes its basically...well what is it exactly? Ok, well we have people called prefects, and they patrol the hallways after curfew, and take care of things like that to make the Teachers jobs easier, and the head girl and boy are like in charge of all the prefects."
Brooke and her two friends nodded, "Well I'm Brooke, as you probably heard, and these are two of my best friends, Allison and Josh. Becca is my other best friend, and Matt is practically my brother."
Hermione glanced over at the other table, and then turned back to them, "Oh I heard you and Josh had the same last name, are you brother and sister?" Hermione asked Allison.
"We're fraternal twins." They said together, Brooke laughed
"They do that a lot." She told Hermione, Ginny moved over into Hermione's vacated seat and smiled,
"Hey I'm Ginny, and two of my brothers are twins as well, so we're used to it. Actually Fred and George...(the twins) came back this year to be assistant Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, and my oldest brother Bill is here also as the Quidditch assistant."
"That's cool! How many brothers do you have?" Josh asked, smiling at Ginny flirtatiously,
"Well the idiot with all the food in his mouth, is Ron, he's a year older then me, and then you know about the twins, and then there's Percy, and Charlie, and of course Bill...but we don't talk to Percy anymore, he's a git." Ginny answered, "Oh and of course this is our friend Harry."
"I love British accents, they are so cool!" Brooke said laughing again, "Harry? Like Harry Potter, Harry? Oh that's cool, we heard all about your savin' the world and what not, hey you must be Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley then! That's pretty sweet, good to meet you guys."
"Wow I didn't know I was known in America to..." Harry said sheepishly,
"Well your known but defiantly not quite as famous as you are here." Allison said,
"You're a lot cuter in person." Brooke told Harry, it was basically just a casual statement, Harry blushed,
"Erm thanks..." He said rubbing the back of his neck,
"You're welcome." Brooke said turning back to Hermione and Ginny,
"So what year are you all in?" Ron asked, finally swallowing enough to talk to the new kids. They all looked at him clearly confused,
"Huh?" Josh asked.
"Umm...well at our school, we have a grading system, we are all in the 12th grade. So I guess from what Professor Dumbledore said, we are 7th years? I suppose..." Allison said shrugging,
"So how old are ya'll then?" Harry asked,
"Oh well we're 17, Brooke is 18, and so is Matt, Becca's 16. what about you guys?" Josh said, as he took a sip of his pumpkin juice..."Oo that's weird..what is this stuff?"
Ginny laughed, "Oh that's pumpkin juice, and I'm 16, Harry just turned 17 in July, Ron's 17 and Hermione is 18. We mostly just go by 6th or 7th years here though." She told him.
"What classes are you going to take?" Hermione asked,
"Well I'm doing Advanced Potions, DADA, Transfiguration, Advanced Charms, Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes most likely." Brooke said,
"I have the same schedule except I'm taking Muggle Studies instead of Ancient Runes, Josh is only doing the basics no advanced classes or extra stuff." Allison added
"Well that's cool looks like we'll be in a lot of classes together." Hermione said.
Ginny smiled this year was defiantly interesting, seven new older students, new relationships, and new teachers (assistant or not). Ginny yawned, and her new friends all did to, seeing her do it. "Well as soon as Dumbledore releases us, I'm going to bed."
--------------------
The teens trudged up the stairs, flight after flight, as they all headed up to Gryffindor tower, the three new kids following after them chatting quietly amongst themselves.
"Their American accents are weird, they drop most of their 'G's I noticed..." Ron muttered to Harry,
"Yeah...but they seem really nice, and all three of the girls are quite pretty." Harry answered, Ron nodded in agreement.
As they approached the portrait of the fat lady, Hermione spoke up, "This is the only entrance to the Gryffindor common room and dorms, the password is Guano."
The Americans looked at each other for a second and started laughing, "Guano?" Brooke said laughter still coating her voice,
"We think that Snape - the Potions Professer - came up with it, probably his attempt at a joke, or just his opinion of us." Ron said, "He's a git."
"Ron..." Hermione said warningly
"What? He is!" Ron said defensively, Hermione just rolled her eyes, gave the Fat Lady the password, and climbed through the portrait hole. Everyone followed her, Brooke and Allison looked around with interest, while Ron just challenged Josh to a game of Wizards Chess.
"So...where do we sleep?" Allison asked, yawning widely,
"Oh well I'll show you, your dorm then." Hermione said, turning towards the spiral staircase on the right side, climbing up a few landings, she then led them through a door and into a circular room, with four, four-poster beds, with deep red hangings, and gold thread,
"Hmm...are we allowed to redecorate some?" Brooke asked, fingering the velvet curtains in slight displeasure.
"Oh, well I've never even thought of that, I suppose... if you... go ahead." Hermione said shrugging one shoulder,
"Yay." Brooke said smiling happily,
"Brookie..." Allison said shaking her head, and rolling her eyes.
Brooke pulled out a black wand, with silver vines twisting around it, and waved it lightly, flicking her wrist at the peak of the movement. The hangings moved as if in a strong breeze, and as they fell back down, they changed to a medium shade of purple with black stitching, when she pulled back the curtains, the comforter and pillows, were black, with vertical stripes of different thickness, in red, purple, bright green, light blue, and some pink. it was very cool (A/n I use these colors on my myspace, it may not sound like it, but they look really good together) Brooke nodded satisfied,
"So where do you sleep Hermione?" She asked,
"Oh well, since I'm Head girl this year, I'm sharing a common room with the Head boy on the fourth floor. Ya'll can come visit me anytime you want, but if you have any questions, Ginny is in the dorm above us, and you can ask her." Hermione replied, turning to go, "Goodnight, girls...Pavarti and Lavender, your other dorm mates, will be up soon and ya'll can get to know each other. So till tomorrow." She said as she put her hand on the door,
"Night." Allison and Brooke said in unison. Hermione left, and as she descended the stairs she passed Pavarti and Lavender, they were talking about the new students. Hermione rolled her eyes, like the new kids were really undercover spies for the remaining death eaters...if there were any remaining ones. Please.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Hermione turned to the boys, "I've already got the girls settled in, why don't you show Josh where he's sleeping." Hermione said as she plopped down next to Harry on the couch near the fire place, Ron nodded and him and Josh stood, as they left Hermione turned to her friend,
"Have you ever thought of redecorating the things in your room? Brooke just did it, I never realized we could even do that!" She said "It looks really neat, better then the over used red and gold, I mean I'm proud of being Gryffindor, but it gets tiring after seven years..."
Harry shook his head, "No I've never actually thought we could change the colors...that's really cool I think I might do that!" Harry said smiling at Hermione, "Oh yeah good luck sharing a common room with Zabini."
"Thanks Harry, goodnight." She said, as they both stood, giving him a hug, she left the common room and headed downstairs to her new one.

Harry's Journal
Tuesday September 2nd 12:03am
Yesterday...since its now tomorrow, was great! The train ride was actually fun, and Ginny and I held hands during the sorting, and there's now seven new teenagers, at Hogwarts, none of which are British. There are Four girls, all of them are gorgeous, and three guys.
One of them, Josh, is in my dorm, he's pretty cool, he's got a twin sister named Allison, and two best friends, Becca and Brooke, he used to date Becca, but now she's going out with Matt the other American. Josh is going to be in all of Ron and my classes, and he's really funny.
I also found out we can change the colors in our rooms! My hangings are now dark green and the blankets, are black and can the sheets are bright green. Ron changed his to Chudley Cannons colors and Josh has blue, and black.
For some reason I'm looking forward to school tomorrow, and also spending more time with Ginny, I think I'm going to invite her to the next Hogsmeade weekend...when is the next Hogsmeade weekend? Anyway its late, and I've got classes tomorrow, and need to get used to waking up early again. So night.
-Harry
----------
Rolling over, George groaned, why did he decide to do this again? He'd forgotten how damn early he had to wake up. Kicking off the blue blankets twisted around his legs, he stood up padding into the bathroom for a piss. Then George opened the door to Fred's room, tiptoeing in, he jumped on Fred, yelling loudly.
"AHHHH! Get OFF me, you prat!" Fred said as they tumbled off the bed, George laughed as he pinned his brother down. Before Fred could do anything, George let a long strand of drool begin to hang out of his mouth, and slowly descend towards his twin.
"ERG! Stop George!" Fred said, struggling under him, sucking it back up, George rolled off laughing. Standing up he said,
"Morning bro." and walked out of Fred's room and went to grab his things for a shower.
----
Following George into their shared bathroom, Fred began brushing his teeth, and talking to his brother over the sound of the running water, "So whatcha think of the new girls in Gryffindor...Allison and what was it? Brooke?"
"Beautiful." George said laughing, "What's it matter?"
"Well, we've been working diligently for two years now, never taking breaks and suffering hard hours, while the boss is breathing down our necks, and no one is grateful for our constant work, don't you think we deserve a little fun?" Fred answered dramatically,
"Of course, but what does this have to do with two lovely students?" George asked, "Wait...you don't mean?"
"Yes my brother, yes I do." Fred said smirking at his reflection in the fogging mirror.
-----------
"Her-mi-o-ne!" Bill called, breaking up her name, as he called into her Common room. Zabini stuck his head out of his bedroom door, looking for the intruder,
"Granger is in the shower, up there." He said quietly, pointing to the second landing where Hermione's room was, before he disappeared.
Bill grinned, "This should be fun..." He said to himself, as he ascended the deep blue carpeted stairs. Trying the handle to the door he found it was locked, so he Alohomora-ed it. Slipping in he looked at the frosted glass, and at Hermione's naked figure. Swallowing, he shook his head and was surprised when Hermione started singing,
"Come on baby
your driving me crazy
I'm trying to be sensitive to all your going through
just know
no matter where you go
It'll always be you!
These are the days of love -
sometimes we fight
goin on,
long into the night
These are the days of love -
it won't always be perfect
but at the end of the day
it'll be ok"
Bill smiled, she had a really good singing voice, but he didn't recognize the song, maybe it was muggle...
"I don't want perfection --
you are enough for me
cause you and I combined
make it perfect - you'll see
Sometimes its hard to sit back, relax
and enjoy the ride
calm down, turn around, your there by
my side
thick and thin
through it all
your there when I call
on a whim
that's what I'll do
do it all for you
AHHHHHHH!"
Hermione screamed, Bill started laughing, he had interrupted her shower, by flushing the toilet and turning the water cold. Hermione peered through the frosted, steamy door, and screamed again,
"BILL!" He laughed harder, she reached out of the sliding door, and pulled a towel in, wrapping it around herself. She pushed the door open the rest of the way, and there was Hermione, in all her wet, dripping - glaring - glory.
"William Arthur Weasley!" Hermione said with a look of pure fury on her face, he stopped laughing momentarily, and just grinned at her,
"Yes, Hermione Jade Granger?"
"UGHHH!" Hermione said, still glaring. After a long moment, her face slowly softened and she smiled, and began laughing right along side Bill.
Blaise came up hearing all the screaming,
"You all right Granger? I heard screaming..." He started, trailing off, as he saw Bill collapsed on the floor clutching his sides, Hermione leaning against a wall howling with laughter, in only a towel.
"Um, I'm guessing I missed something?" he said, looking at the two of them like they had started kissing Malfoy, while imitating Snape.
"Yeah," Hermione said between giggles, "it probably won't be funny to you at all, but while I was taking a shower, he flushed the toilet, so that was the the scream you heard, then I glared at him, and said his full name, and he said mine back, and it was funny!" She said breaking down again,
"Hmm, ok...ya'll have fun." He said shaking his head as he walked away, Hermione clutched at her towel, as it slipped slightly,
"Ok Bill, out now." She said pulling him up,
"Can't I stay?" He asked pouting,
"No, now leave." Hermione said giving him a kiss and pushing him out the door, locking it with more then just the mechanism on the door.
Bill leaned against the wall outside the bathroom,
"You have an amazing voice, Hermione." He called through the closed door,
"Thanks, but no I don't." Hermione said back, Bill could hear the blush in her voice,
"Whatever you say, Beautiful!" He said, as he walked down the stairs, and fell onto the couch across from the silent Slytherin, who was sharing a common room with his girlfriend.
"She wouldn't believe you either?" He asked Bill quietly,
"No...you've heard her sing?" Bill asked back, as he tilted his head,
"Yes, when she took a shower last night. She was singing a song by The Killers." Blaise said, examining his right shoe,
"You listen to muggle music, Zabini?" he asked surprised,
"Yeah." 'Well that was an elaborete answer.'
"Oh, I just never thought a Slytherin would..." Bill said rubbing the back of his head,
"Well some Slytherin's are different." Blaise replied as he picked up a book, right as Hermione came down the stairs.
"Ready for the first day of term, handsome?" Hermione asked as she pulled her hair back, into a messy bun on the back of her head,
"Yeah." Both guys answered at the same time, Hermione smiled. 'Since when is he you're handsome?' Bill thought, shaking it off, he said,
"Hermione, I got your present like I said I would." handing her, three sunflowers (her favorite) and a single red rose, with a white ribbon tied around it. She squealed. Loudly.
"Oh-my-gosh! Thank you Bill!" She said, kissing him passionately. Then Blaise cleared his throat, so they pulled apart and she smiled,
"Ok lets go boys." Hermione said swinging her bag over her shoulder, and grabbing Bill's hand, kissing him one last time on the cheek as she pulled him out of the portrait hole.
Blaise following, quietly behind, still reading the book.
---------------
Becca, stared at the closed blue curtains around her, it was true, she really was in England. Sitting up she pushed back her cover and pulled the curtains open, swinging her legs over the bed. She looked at the beds around her...they were all empty...what time was it? 8:45! Shoot! Becca jumped up pulling her new uniform from her trunk, grabbed a towel, and all her other toiletries, picked up her shoes and ran like hell to the nearest bathroom.
Stripping down she threw all her things on the floor and got in the shower. Becca finished up in five minutes, drying off, and getting dressed hurriedly, she brushed her teeth, while pulling on one sock, finishing up she pushed her feet in her school shoes, picked up her various belongings and ran like mad back to the dorm, dropping off her stuff she grabbed her bag, stuffing the book she'd been reading last night in it, and ran like mad hell again, down to the great hall, running a brush through her wet hair.
She skidded to a halt, and grabbed two pieces of toast and a strip of bacon, right as all the food disappeared signifying the end of breakfast. She glanced at her watch and ran again, rushing to her first class, hoping she still remembered where the prefect pointed it out last night on the way to the Ravenclaw common room.
"You're late Mrs. McGill. Class starts promptly at nine."
"Sorry Professor McGonagall." Becca said taking a seat next to the red head girl, she saw her friends talking to the other night at the Gryffindor table. Pulling out her transfiguration book, she flipped to the page that was written on the board.
"Hi I'm Ginny, I've talked to your friends." The red head whispered, next to her,
"Becca." She whispered back, shaking her hand. "You know in America, even if you really didn't like one of your dorm mates, you still woke her up if she was going to be late, and if she had beat the crap out of you the day before, she'd still do the same for you, England is defiantly a lot different."
Ginny nodded, "Yeah it takes awhile to get used to, I just set my alarm on my watch, so only I can mess up the time."
They both turned back to the front listening to McGonagall's lecture about the difficulties of changing bunnies into Tiara's.
"Now before you perform the incantation, be sure to hold the bunny by its right foot, this insures that your fingers do not change into part of the Tiara, because the feet are the band, and you want to avoid holding onto any part that would be near the jewels." Nodding Becca picked up her white wand, with green flowing lines, etched into the wood.
"Now pull up shortly, and drag your hand down and to the right quickly saying, 'Cuniculus Actaeon Apex' ." McGonagall said, Becca said the incantation, and moved her arm exactly as she was told, the little white, and butterscotch colored bunny, vibrated as it turned into a silver tiara, with diamond and topaz accents. Smiling she lifted it, placing it carefully on her head.
laughing Ginny said, "Gorgeous!" Becca laughed to,
"Very good McGill, ten points to Ravenclaw. Oh and I've seen you've done it to Weasley, ten to Gryffindor as well." Ginny placed her newly made tiara on her red hair, the diamonds and pearls sparking in the light. Becca and Ginny slapped five.
------------------
Blaise smirked, not a Malfoy smirk, but a cute one, he was sitting at a desk in the middle of the DADA classroom his second class of the day, Granger was next to him, she wasn't exactly his friend, but they weren't enemy's. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts assistant professors, were in charge of the class while Professor Lahodick went out for a moment to escort Longbottom to the Hospital wing. Malfoy Transfigured his stool into a giant tack...lets just say it wasn't pretty.
"Scenario: You are finding yourself in need of a good laugh, so you go to your stash of joke shop products." The Weasley twins began, starting their weird sentence finishing thing,
"When horror of horrors! You discover your gold mine is depleted and you need something fast -"
" - The next Hogsmeade weekend isn't for another month, and even if you could go, they check your pockets and confiscate anything on Filch's list -"
" - What do you do?"
"You come to us of course!" They finished together, throwing their arms over the others shoulders.
"For all your pranking needs, come the fifth floor, the second door on the right across from the Lockness Monster tapestry!"
"But keep it on the down low from the teachers,"
"because the person who snitched won't be a happy wizard or witch!" They said almost airily but you could hear the promise in their voices.
Hermione snorted softly beside Blaise, "Now I know why they wanted to come back to Hogwarts... missed Filtch my arse." She said quietly,
Blaise smiled, 'Hmm, with a direct source for merchandise in the castle, this year will be hard to come out of unscathed.' Blaise thought to himself, as the Professor came back in,
"Ok class, I'd like you all to put away your books and push your desks to the wall, we're going to have an evaluation." There was quiet chatter, as everyone did as they were told,
"Pair off with the person who was at your desk..." the room became filled with groups of two, except for Finnigan, who had been with Longbottom,
"Malfoy, you can sit this out, since you are the cause of Longbottoms grievances, Finnigan pair up with MacDougal." Professor Lahodick said. When everyone was ready, she began with the "evaluation".
"Wands out. Disarm your partner only, no dark magic or its detention." shouts of 'Expelliarmus', 'Stupify' and 'Accio wand', were heard through out the room, and some light thumps by those who managed to be stupified.
"Very good, now please return wands to their owners and revive fallen classmates. Ok now use light jinxes, nothing that can't be undone quickly, but use your imagination."
Before the class could begin, there were two loud shouts, and everyone turned to watch Fred and George, as they battled it out on one side of the room. Fred's hair was changing colors rapidly, flashing like a cheap motel sign, while George was in a VERY short french maids dress, complete with a duster, and kinky background music.
They growled at each other, purple and green light flashed across the room and, Fred's clothes began to slowly melt off, piece by piece, and George was now a walrus in a french maid costume. There was laughter around the room, even Professor Lahodick was enjoying the show.
Once again flashes of light, and Fred was seen trying to pull a squid off his face, while George (who was no longer a walrus, but still wearing the dress) tried unsuccessfully to catch his right leg, which was running around the room, laughing madly, as it jumped up kicking students in the butts. This really got a good reaction.
The Professor, decided she should do something before anyone else got any ideas, and said "Immobulis!" and the twins, and George's leg, floated about three feet off the ground, completely still, only their eyes moving, and Fred's clothes dripped into a colorful puddle underneath him, his pants the only thing still left on him.
"Not that, that wasn't entertaining, but its best we stop here for today. I'd like eight inches on your favorite defensive spells and when and from whom you learned them, on my desk by Thursday. Class dismissed."
Everyone gathered up their belongings, some still rubbing sore spots where they hit the ground, and filed out of the room, chattering about their new Professor and what happened in the class.
"Granger, Zabini please stay behind, and right the Mr. Weasleys if you please. Malfoy here's your detention slip, give it to your head of house, and report here Saturday night, at 7:30." Lahodick said, turning and walking back up to her office, chuckling lightly.
"Go on with out me." Hermione told Brooke, and Allison, before turning back to the head boy, "You take Fred, I'll get George." Hermione told Blaise,
"How can you tell them apart?" Blaise asked, looking between the two,
"Well after countless summers at the burrow with them it comes naturally, but if you look there, you can see that Fred has a large freckle on the bottom right side of his neck, where as George has one under is left ear." Hermione said pointing,
Blaise nodded, and turned to the squid and Fred, "Priori Incantatem" he said lazily, Fred fell to the ground, his hands pulling the squid off, grunting and gasping at the same time...if that was possible.
"Damn squid." He said, and then was squirted with ink.
George laughed, he was successfully unfrozen and had gotten back his normal clothes, and Hermione was bringing his leg over, while George pulled his robes on,
"You're an ass." Fred growled through the thick black liquid, George just laughed again.
Blaise and Hermione rolled their eyes, and walked out of the room together. Heading down towards lunch, talking lightly.
George cast a charm and all the desks and chairs swept back to their rightful places, and Fred cleaned up his face, and turned the puddle back into clothes before they too went to the Great Hall.

"Allie!"
"Brookie!"
"This is so cool!"
"What is?"
"Didn't ya see it?"
"No...see what?"
"Fred and George of course!"
"Ginny's brothers? What'd they do?"
"They were watchin' us...and when we talked to them...they were flirtin' with us!"
"Shut up!"
"I'm serious!"
"That's awesome! They are really cute..."
"And they aren't that much older then us!"
"Hmm...are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin?"
"I think so!"
Josh rolled his eyes, as the girls started giggling and falling all over each other, while they were walking down to lunch. They were to much.
"This should be fun." Brooke said,
"Naked!" Josh shouted out, and they all started laughing.

N/n I hope this isn't all confusing from the way I switch a lot, and I hope you don't mind the new Characters, but I wanted something else, and not so much all Harry potter. This chapter was nice and long, so review and tell me what you think! and if you have an idea that you think might work in the story or a funny event that you think should be put in here, send it to me and maybe I'll put it in the story!
Cuniculus Actaeon Apex --- is Latin for Rabbit into crown lol
