Neville's Cousin

Stretching her arms wide Clare got out of bed but not before releasing a large yawn. Judging by the light it was just after sunrise so maybe 7:00 am or so. And being the time that it was Clare decided it would be a worthwhile endeavor to venture downstairs to see if anyone was up yet.

Hoping no one was she took two roles of parchment, a bottle of ink and quill down stairs into the common room to get started on her 'work', which coincidentally is the reason that she was transferred here in the first place. Unfortunately luck was not on her side this morning because in the corner sat the Weasley twins working on their 'work'.

So she sat down in a comfy chair and began to think. But was soon interrupted by the twins saying, "No that won't work Flinch would defiantly find us if we went there…no that's not right," So she decided to make a suggestion, "I don't really know much about this school since I'm new but couldn't you just attach something that explodes say a dungbomb to a picture and tell them to give it to another specific picture on the other end of the school and go the other way, I know its old fashion but its so uncomplicated it confuses people." "What are you talking about we're not planning any pranks but would you be so kind as to try one of our fabulous creations?"

"Sure oh by the way I'm Clare Longbottom," Clare said deciding she'd give them her sir-name since they were probably to old to know Neville anyway

"I'm Fred and this is George we're the Weasley twins," the boy said proudly

"Oh are you related to Ronald by chance?" Clare said trying to buy time so she could remember what Dumbledore had said about the Weasley twins but her mind had completely blanked on her.

"Oh so you do know our little brother, he's been bragging about you talking to him since you got here," the other boy said

"Why?" Clare asked still thinking

"No idea now would you be so kind as to eat this?" he said handing the a tiny half a capsule

After examining it closely for a few minutes she said, "it's a nosebleed capsule, there's no way that's going in my mouth," and handed it back to the boys

"How'd you know?" One of them asked looking surprised

"I've made something similar at my old school, for the people who bug me, but I'm assuming you both made these to get out of class and have an antidote on you," She said simple

"Smart girl, you should help us out sometime you seem knowledgeable," the other one said bowed to her, I talking the entire we're not worthy on the knees bowing.

"Stop you're embarrassing me," Clare said waving her hand at them and laughing

"Are you by any chance related to Neville Longbottom?" Clare here's somewhere and turns to see Hermione coming down the stairs

"Who?" I say lying through my teeth, "Sorry I don't know who that is, now if you'll excuse me I have some work to take care of in the library, you two are free to join me," she says looking over her shoulder at Fred and George who get up and follow her almost instantly.

AN: Sorry it took so long for me to update I've been having writers block for a while, anyway if you have any suggestions for pranksthat the twins and Clare can pull, PLEASE LET ME KNOW I have no idea for pranks and don't worry you'll get full credit for them!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Until next time,
