The holidays past and finally it was time to get back on the Hogwarts Express to go back to school. Nobody had really pranked anybody because the whole groups weren't at the same houses and you couldn't use magic at home so it wasn't as much fun. But everyone was excited because they could finally get the war going.
Everyone arrived at King's Cross and said goodbye and then boarded the train as fast as they could.
Hermione, Ginny and I went and found a compartment to ourselves and closed the door. We started to iron out our prank that we were going to do. Little did we know-but we did assume-Harry, Ron, Fred and George were finding another compartment and working on their pranks.
The first part of the ride went fine, but when the Trolley Lady came around that was where everything started….
The Trolley lady gave us our sweets that we asked for and we sat back down to start eating. I reached into our pile and pulled out a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and opened them. I picked a bright red one thinking 'okay well it will be cherry or strawberry or raspberry or something' boy was I wrong. Almost as fast as it was in my mouth I had spat it out.
"What happened to these beans?" I cried, "They're horrible."
"That's the point Gina," said Hermione, "They're every flavor."
"No," I said, "It isn't like dirt or earwax or something, it's different, I don't know how to explain it, but I think somebody tampered with these beans."
Hermione shrugged
Then it dawned on me, "Them," I cried
"Oh they are so dead," said Ginny
"Girls, we were going to wait awhile but now it is time to set our plan into motion," I said as I stood up.
Hermione and Ginny also stood up and we grabbed our wands. I was just about to open the compartment door when Ginny went, "Ah, Gina."
"What?" I said
"Your hair," said Hermione
I looked at the glass and saw my reflection. My hair was bright red.
"At least it's not green," said Ginny with a shrug
"Yeah I guess, but I have a feeling if you at a green bean Ginny your hair will be green," I said
"No thanks," she said
"Didn't think so," I said
We walked out of the compartment and into the next carriage. We found the boy's compartment and slid open the door.
"Oh hey girls," they all said
"Hi," we answered
"Nice hair Gina," said Fred
"Yeah, I really like it," I said, "Bright red, a bit more drastic from my auburn hair, but still it's great. Perfect match with the Gryffindor colours don't you think?" I said as I spun around to let them see my hair
They all muttered something and then I turned to Hermione and Ginny and nodded.
"Well boys, sorry to have to leave so soon, but well…you know how it is," we said and then we turned and walked out of the compartment.
We closed the door and then pulled out our wands a muttered a few spells. We could here them talking inside the compartment but we couldn't hear what they were saying.
We started to walk away when we heard screaming coming from inside the compartment.
"What's going on?"
"Somebody stop it."
"I can't."
"Well do something."
"I'm trying."
"Here, over here."
"Fred, George help us."
"What if we don't want to?"
"Well that's not an option, help us."
Was just a bit of what we heard.
People started poking their heads out of their compartments to see where to noise was coming from.
"Nothing's happening, everyone back into their compartments," I said
Everyone retreated back into their compartments and the corridor went silent.
The door to the boy's compartment creaked open and water poured out and the four boys came flying out with the water. They landed in a heap on the floor at our feet.
"What was that?" the cried
"Oh, we thought you guys needed a bath. You were kinda smelly you know?" we said and then we turned and walked down the corridor
"That was not funny?" they cried
"Actually it was, to hear you guys screaming like you were going to die," said Ginny
"What if we had died?" asked Ron
"You wouldn't have, trust me," I said
We walked back to our compartment and the rest of the ride went by uninventive.
We arrived back at Hogwarts and walked into the school and headed up to our dorms in Gryffindor Tower.

The pranks went on for at least a couple a weeks, and my hair was still bright red. I found out that when the war ended my hair would go back to normal.
After 2 ½ weeks of us pranking them and them pranking us back McGonagoll finally found out and we were called into her office.
"I can't believe you. Seven Gryffindors. This is a disgrace. Poor Al Frade is in the hospital wing because he 'accidentally' walked into the middle of your prank. What do you have to say for yourselves?" she cried
Nobody answered
"Well?"
Still no answer
"Detentions for a week and 30 points from Gryffindor, and I better not catch you doing this again, you may go," she said
We all stood up and walked out of her office.
Fred pulled me aside and said, "Hey Gina would you like to go to Hogsmead with me?"
I looked over at Ginny and Hermione and they had their backs turned so I turned back to Fred and said, "When the war ends."
He nodded, "Okay."
I turned and walked over to Hermione and Ginny and we walked down to the Great Hall for lunch together. We were sitting at the Gryffindor table just about finished eating when the boys came up behind us and sat down.
"What are you guys doing?" we asked them
"Fred told us that the war was over," said Ron
"Is it now?" we asked
"Well Fred's making us end it," said Harry
"Why?" asked Ginny and Hermione
"Because Gina told him she would go out with him when the war ended," said George
"George you weren't supposed to tell them," muttered Fred
Ginny and Hermione nodded and then they started to whisper between themselves.
"So will you go out with me?" asked Fred
"Is the war over?"
"Yes."
"You surrender?"
"Yes, so will you?"
"Sure, when?" I asked
"Next Saturday?"
"Sounds good to me," I said
'Wow' I thought, 'He must really want me to be his girlfriends if he is surrendering.'
We finished eating and then we got up to leave. Everyone walked out in front of us and Fred and I took up the rear, holding hands.
