Two Weeks Later
'You never told me that Fred and George were practical jokers!" exclaimed Heather after the all stopped laughing at one of the twins' jokes. "You guys are hilarious, especially you Fred."
"Why thank you very much," said Fred with a smile. Fred had developed a huge crush on Heather and vice versa with her. "One day we'll be opening a joke shop and you'll get free products."
"What about us?" asked Beth. "We all have witnessed very freakin joke you've played and even tested some of those products. And we've kept quiet about it to Percy as well."
"You all can, but not Ron," replied George with a smile. "I'm just joking!" he said when Ron gave him a dirty look.
"Quiet down, people are trying to work," said Percy as he came over. "Unlike you guys."
"Percy its Christmas vaca, and no one is here," replied Beth. "Besides of the people here you are the only one working."
"And you Diggory shouldn't be in here," He replied back.
"Don't worry about me at all Weasley," replied Cedric. "Im not gonna do anything wrong and I cleared it with Dumbledore and McGonagall."
"Headless Nick, Justin, Colin, and Mrs. Norris all have been Petrified, but not killed," said Hermione. "There must be an explanation for it."
"Well if there is, let's leave it till after the match," replied Beth.
"I'll see you guys at the match," replied Hermione as she walked away. "I need to check something."
"Potter, Weasley, Diggory you are going to want to follow me," said McGonagall. "Yes, Potter, I know you will be missing the match, but it's important. And the match is being cancelled."
"Why?" asked Beth.
"You'll see," McGonagall responded.
"What happened?" asked Harry as he looked at Hermione lying still in a hospital bed. "And why is she holding a mirror like that?"
"That is what I was hoping you could answer," replied McGonagall. "She has been Petrified."
"You serious?" asked Beth.
"I'm afraid so," responded McGonagall gravely.
