Chapter 3

When Hermione woke up Saturday morning, she was nearly giddy with excitement. It was so un-Hermione-ish of her, but then, she had never felt in love before either. In love, she thought, with Ron Weasley. She smile at the name, but it still made her stomach tie into knots. Who knew that she would fall in love with her best friend? The boy she had argued with countless times, but who with she had done so many amazing and dangerous things? She sighed happily, but what did it matter now, now that they had realized their feelings for each other? Everything was perfect…now.

She pulled herself out of bed and pulled on her skimpy excuse for a swimsuit—against her better judgment. She then pulled a sundress on over it, and went down to the common room to find Ginny there alone and in similar attire.

"Are you ready?" she asked Hermione.

Hermione smiled happily in response. Soon Ron, Harry, Fred, and George came down to the common room to join them, already in their swimsuits and tee-shirts. Ron came over to Hermione and kissed her lightly on the lips, saying, "good morning."

Hermione vaguely noticed Harry doing the same to Ginny. Fred and George looked at the two couples, incredulous.

"We didn't think we'd get you two stubborn gits together before we went to the pool!" said Fred to Ron and Hermione, astonished. Ron and Hermione just grinned back.

"Why is Harry making out with our sister?" George asked, flabbergasted.

Ginny pulled away from Harry and smirked at them, "looks like your plan had outcomes you didn't expect."

Harry shrugged at the twins apologetically; whose mouths were looking rather fish-like, opening and closing like they were. After a few moments of this Fred sighed in resignation, vowing to get back at Harry for this in some way or another. "Lead the way, George."

George led them all to the seventh floor corridor, to the stretch of wall opposite the painting of Barnabas the Barmy teaching trolls to do ballet. He walked past the wall three times thinking, I need a giant swimming pool…I need a giant swimming pool…I need a giant swimming pool. Suddenly, a giant door appeared in the wall and he opened it, grinning.

Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny had never seen the pool before, and for a moment they all just stood there, taking it all in. Then Ron suddenly stripped off his shirt and jumped in calling, "Wahoo!"

Harry then followed his example, and the twins were not far behind; they all jumped in, splashing the girls, and getting their sundresses soaked. Ginny shrieked good-naturedly and pulled off her sundress, revealing her bikini and jumping in.

Fred and George gaped at her, "What is our baby sister doing in something like that?"

Ginny smirked at them, "Going swimming," she said to them as though they were particularly slow.

Fred and George started sputtering indignantly, and then glared at Harry, "You will regret the day you ever snogged our sister Harry Potter," they grinned wickedly.

Ginny jusr rolled her eyes and whispered to Harry, "don't worry, we can take them."

He grinned at her. Then Fred and George turned thier attention to the edge of the pool, where Hermione still stood, in her sundress.

"C'mon Hermione," Fred called and grinned, "take it off!"

This earned him a smack from Ron.

Hermione, after a moment's deliberation, resigned, and took off her sundress and jumped in. At the revelation of her bikini, Fred and George wolf-whistled, earning them both smacks from Ron, causing Fred to say, "Ooh! Protective are we?"

This earned him yet another smack. His head was really starting to hurt now. And so the fun began.


Professor Dumbledore was taking a pleasant stroll around the castle grounds, when he heard shouts of laughter coming from behind a wall. This was very peculiar, because there was no door anywhere near that wall, but Dumbledore knew better. He knew of secret rooms in the castle, how some students (cough coughFred&Georgecough cough) loved finding these secret chambers and passages and putting them to their own good use. Dumbledore didn't mind this; in fact, he quite enjoyed the antics many of the students got up to. He especially enjoyed hearing about a misters Fred and George's practical jokes and pranks. Their funny plots never ceased to amuse him, even as they infuriated much of the staff.

Dumbledore cast a quick Disillusionment charm on himself, as he saw Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny, and a satisfied looking Fred and George, exit a newly appeared door in the wall, all of them wearing swimsuits and laughing. As they disappeared out of sight, Dumbledore allowed himself a slight chuckle, it look as though another one of Fred and George's plots had succeeded.


A/N: So thats the end! What do you think? If you guys want, I might do a sequal in which Fred and George try to get back at Harry, but I'm not sure yet, so tell me what you want!

A/N: I've now posted my sequel, it's called "The Never Ending Parade of Ruining Harry's Life." It's going to be a muti-chapter story, so I've just posted the prologue.

And thanks so much to everyone who read, alerted, favorited, and reviewed this story! You guys are awesome!
