Spoiler: Parts of 4th and 5th books

Author Notes: This is a major revision of one of the stories I wrote, hmm, 2 years ago. I decided it sucked and rewrote it. Plot's basically the same at this point. The sequel will be rewritten and finished when soon..

Chapter One: Prologue

"Come on, let's test them!" George squealed, waving a brown paper bag in Fred's face.

"Alright, alright," Fred cooed, "We'll just find some first years that will test them for a few sickles."

George looked at him disappointedly. "Come on Fred, this is a big breakthrough! I want to test it now!"

He looked around quickly and noticed Mel walking down the stairs towards him and his brother. When she sat on the couch next to him, his eyes lit up. "Mel," he said, cozying up next to her.

"No," she said briskly, looking from George to Fred and finally to Lee, who were all looking at her innocently. "No."

"What? We didn't ask you to do anything," George said, putting his arm around her shoulders.

She glared at him. As she opened her mouth to protest again, George popped a small purple candy into it.

A wave of surprise swept over her face before she realized what she had been fed. Before Lee or Fred could register what George had just done, Mel had jumped to her feet and spit the soggy puking pastille at George.

"I already told you…you…hooligans that I wasn't going to test your stupid inventions!" she screamed before storming off up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.

"That went well," George said sarcastically.

"Yes brilliantly," Lee said, grabbing the brown bag from George's hand. "Let's go find those first years."

Fred stood and to follow Lee out the door. "Now that's a good idea!" he said to George, patting him swiftly on the shoulder and leaving him sitting in his chair wondering what he had just done.
