Disclaimer: I have a terrible, awful, excruciating sunburn. And that's
because I went to the Indy racetrack for a field trip, and we were all out
of sun block. So, I obviously don't own HP, because if I did, I'd have
enough money to have everything I needed in stock, every single day of the
year.
AN: Wow! Reviewers; I love you!! U R so nice, and I feel bad for not getting this up very soon. I've been very busy planning a friend's surprise party, and being my mom's slave for Mother's Day, but now that all of that is done, I can write!
AN2: Happy Mother's Day to any moms that would be reading this! Wait....... Um, why is a mom reading this?!? Scary! Um, no offense if one actually IS reading this......
WARNING: As it is probably already clear, this chapter is extremely short. This is because I just wanted to make sure you knew I was alive, for one. Plus, there's something I wanna write in, but it can't be until the next chapter, because it's past their meeting time already!

Scott sat down by the twins, Lee, Alicia, and Angelina on the couch.
"Your cousin told me about you," he told Fred and George. "By what she said, I'd say we're a lot alike."
Fred and George both grinned while Angelina muttered something under her breath that sounded a lot like, "Oh, God, no!"
Scott grinned at Angelina. "Anyway, she said I should definitely get to know you."
"Well, consider yourself one of the gang, mate," George said, thumping him on the back.
"Yep; anyone that Shay likes has to be pretty cool," Fred quipped.

Shaylee was humming while she put a big red X over a whole side of a worksheet and wrote, 'Do it over again.'
A sudden knock on her office door startled her into stopping, but she immediately smiled and said in a sing-songey voice, "Come in!"
The door opened and Professor Snape's head popped in. "Busy, Weasley?"
Shaylee pointedly ignored him and he sighed. "Alright; if you insist...... Are you busy, Shaylee?"
Shaylee grinned and looked up at him with a mischievous glint in her eye. "It depends on whether or not you call making students' lives complete and total Hell doing something."
Severus shrugged with a hint of a smile on his face. "If you're asking me, of course it is!"
"Well, then, yes, I am busy. But, I can spare some time for you. What is it that you need?"
Snape came in and closed the door, taking up his leaning against the wall position again (See Chapter 8).
"Well, I suspect you, along with the rest of the staff, were a little surprised when the Headmaster decided to spring this whole Masquerade Ball on us."
Shaylee grinned. "Well, I must admit, I had no idea that there was going to be one, but I think it's a rather pleasant surprise. A splendid idea!"
She smiled coyly at him. "Is there anything else?"
"Erm....." He appeared to be waging an inner battle with himself. "No," he finally said, looking a little defeated.
"I see. Well, ta ta!" She opened the door and shuffled him out. "Sleep tight! Don't have too many drams about long tunnels and Werewolves!"
"Wha?" Snape spun around. "Who told you abou-" The door shut.

It was late, probably about 2:30 AM and there were two boys sitting by a window in their dorm room.
"Should I ask her?"
"I think you should. You heard her last year. Don't you think that was a not-so- subtle hint for you to ask her this year?"
"Well, yes, but she IS a girl."
"So we've established before."
They both laughed under their breath.
"What I mean is that girls can be pretty fickle. She might have meant it last year, but not this year......"
"I see what you mean, but she's not really like that, is she?"
"Well, still, I just don't know."
"Just go for it. You won't know until you talk to her."
"Alright, thanks. I'll do that tomorrow, I guess..."
"Good."

Dun dun duuuuuuuuun! I told you it was short! And, yes, there WAS a reason you didn't see any names in the last conversation. Of course, you should have been able to tell who it was.
