Harry woke up the next day. There hadn't been any pranks pulled on him that he could detect. Yes, he still glowed in the dark when all the lights were off, and when they were on his face was a black mess, but other than that, Harry felt fine. That was, of course, until Hermione came downstairs.
"I have an announcement to make!" Harry exclaimed, jumping up on top of a table and addressing the sleepy Gryffindors. They all looked at me. "I am in love with Hermione Granger. She is the most beautiful and precious thing to me ever!"
Everybody laughed, and part of Harry's subconscious realized what it was doing. I'm ruining my friendship with Hermione! Harry immediately turned and glared at Lee. He got the twinkle of a vial. She held it up. Love potion.
Hermione spotted it too, because she grabbed Harry down from the table. Harry got down on one knee and began to serenade Hermione with the ABCs. Hermione muttered something Harry couldn't hear over his crooning D E F G, and she flashed her wand.
Suddenly, Harry was in control of himself. He stood up quickly, and apologized to Hermione. Everybody laughed at him, and Ron was giving him a deathly glare. Harry blushed deep scarlet and sat down, embarrassed.
"We have to do something about that girl!" Hermione exclaimed, joining Harry.
"Finally realized she's a demon?" Harry demanded. "She slipped me love potion while I was sleeping!"
"I know," Hermione replied. "We have to go to Professor McGonagall about this! We can tell her about this! And Lee will have to start the beginning of next year with a detention!"
"Can't we just jinx her?" Harry pleaded.
Hermione swatted him with a piece of parchment. "Harry! That's ridiculous. Now let's go talk to Professor McGonagall."
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that," Lee interrupted.
"What's a shabby wandless git like you going to do to two fifth years like us?" Harry demanded.
"Harry!" Hermione hissed. "That wasn't nice!"
"Well, incase you haven't noticed, Lee isn't exactly nice," Harry snapped.
"Treat others the way you want to be treated," Hermione answered simply.
"Tell her that!" Harry cried.
"Enough!" Lee shrieked. "Harry, if you go tell Professor McGonagall about this, I'll tell Cho that you were mean to me."
That hit Harry hard. "What is it going to take for you to not tell Cho that?"
"Harry! You can't just give up!" Hermione insisted.
"I need this relationship with Cho to work out," Harry answered. "So, what is it going to take?"
Lee grinned a very Fred-and-George-like grin. "Fred? George?"
The two twins smiled and stepped forward. Each one of them had a length of rope. Harry's stomach twisted into knots.
"Undress down to your underclothes," she commanded.
Harry and Hermione did as they were told. They received merciless laughs and taunts from the on watchers.
"Now stay still," Lee continued once Harry and Hermione were wearing nothing but their underwear as well as had no shoes on.
She scooped up their wands as Fred and George tied them up with the ropes. Lee eyed them once they were completely tied up.
"Get on with it," she snapped to Fred and George.
"Levicorpus!" the twins shouted in unison.
Hermione and Harry were both lifted up by their ankles. Lee walked up with a bottle of Muggle superglue in her hand. She covered each foot in glue, and then stepped away. Fred and George hoisted them up all the way to the ceiling where the glue stuck and Fred and George took off the spell.
"Well this is bloody brilliant," Harry muttered as he tried to find a way out of Fred and George's knotting.
"Not a chance, mate!" Fred called up to him.
"Our knots don't come free in a hurry!" George added.
Lee smiled. "Well, I've got to go!"
With that, Lee walked away, taking Harry's pride (wand) and dignity (clothes) with her.
I know that in the books only Harry knows Levicorpus, but in the movie he teaches it to DA. So, there you have it. The Babysitting Nightmare.
