No, no, no, no!!

This cannot be happening!!

'Ginny?'

This is bad, very, very bad.

'Ginny??'

I mean oh Merlin!!

Merlin must be so sick of people saying his name repeatedly in varying phrases.

I should try to mix it up.

'GINNY!!'

'HOLY PRONGS ALMIGHTY FUCK!' I yell as Hermione yells in my ear.

She looks down at me in confusion.

'What did you just say?'

There you go.

Me mixing it up.

Strange but effective.

'Never mind Hermione... yes?' I ask blinking trying to rouse myself from my thoughts.

'Are you okay? Ever since your detention yesterday, you've well... been acting odd.'

'Well odder then usual I must say.' Becks quips, resting her chin on Hermione's shoulder.

'And since that's pretty odd to begin with. I think we should be worried.' Colin finishes looking up from putting film into his camera. How does he do that whilst eating cereal?

'I'm fine guys. Just thinking.'

I mean why would I act odd?

'About?'

Oh how I ever managed to land myself in this mess?

'Nothing important.'

Just that I'm head over heels in love with the Boy-Who-Lived, Chosen One, Just Harry Potter!!

That's not too much to panic over, right?

Just one of the most famous wizards?

Who is being hunted by one of the most infamous?

'Really. I'm just thinking up stuff for The Prank. Hermione if you would like to switch off your ears or the rule abiding aspect of your personality that would be fantastic!'

Hermione sighs and picks up her school bag. 'I have a book to drop back to the Library and I'm meeting Ron and Harry. See you later.'

She waves before picking herself up off the bench and heading to the door.

'So the Prank is a The now?' Becks asks arching an eyebrow.

'Oh yeah. A The and the Prank has a capital P!' I laugh as I reach for some more juice.

'OOOOO!! So it's a big one?'

'Huge.'

Oh I do love to elaborate don't I?

'Info please, I think I was being too subtle.' Colin snorts at this.

'Becks. I love you dearly; you are many things, subtle you, however, are not.'

Becks pouts and I grin wickedly.

'Sorry no gossip for you, it's all team style. Though spread the word dinner tonight is going to be a spectacle to say the least.'

'Will do!' Both Colin and Becks salute and I get up.

'I have to go meet the others, much planning to do and whatnot. Adios!' I can see Colin already chatting to people as I get up.

WOOT!

I skip out of the Great Hall leaving Becks glaring at my back.

Sucks to be her!!

And I am still finding remnants of that disgusting, revolting, stomach-churning, green glop on my face and hands.

I stop for a moment.

I wonder...

How hard would it be to steal some of that stuff from the Dungeons?

That was surprisingly easy.

Which has me worried.

It should never be as easy as it was to simply walk into the dungeons and scoop out a huge chunk of the mysterious face eating gunk.

That's all I did!

Walked in.

Walked straight back out.

I jog up to the empty classroom where I know the others are holed up, prepping bits and pieces of Fred and Georges' 'speciallty' products, for situations like these, for The Prank.

I slip in the door casually and grin at the others.

'Got the face eating crap. How's everything else here?'

Zela looks up from a piece of parchment and smiles.

'Good, I nearly have the charm down. Just needs a small bit of tweaking for what we have in mind but it's not that hard.'

'Yeah Fred and George do pride themselves on simplicity. Guys?' I look over at Ritchie and Jimmy and they both grin.

'All ready and awaiting orders.' They chorus.

I look sceptically at the two.

'How long were you two rehearsing that exactly?'

'We didn't!!'

'I swear! That was a complete coincidence. Why would Jimmy and I stage it?'

'For the humour mostly.' I answer and I nod at them.

They both jump up and run out of the classroom.

'Careful!! We don't want to be caught out.'

I turn back to Demzela.

'Are you sure you can switch the trace of the last spell of two wands?'

'Yeah pretty sure, but I doubt it's going to come to that.

'Why?'

'The way this is going to go down. Not many people are going to be suspicious of anyone else other then Dean.'

'Let's get this party started!!'

'Ginny!' Suddenly a pair of arms wraps around my waist and swings me around.

'Harry! You're out! Man I am good! With my realising predictions that is.' Harry grins at me and I hear Ron huff from the other side.

'Gee thanks Ginny. I'm out too. I'm fine, never felt better by the way, so glad you care though. So totally sweet.'

'Awww I'm sorry Ron but I do have a brilliant present for you later!'

'What is it?'

'Sorry can't tell. It's a surprise!'

'Argh!!' He groans but somehow I don't think it's related to me.

I glance round to see a very red Lavender Brown (what is with all the colours in her name? Honestly, I would never name my children with names like that!) skidding down the corridor, trying to stop clearly.

'Help?' He whispers to Hermione who is on the other side of him.

She grabs his and and stalks straight past Lavender I see her send a very evil smile Lavenders way before leading Ron away.

Harry who is resting his head on my shoulder now watches and I can feel him smiling.

'Something funny?' I ask curiously.

'Nahhh... Well Ron's face actually.'

'Hmmm... Yeah well Hermione has the ability to do that to him.'

'Yup.' I frown and look down and Harrys arms.

'Are you going to let go anytime soon?'

'Nope. I am going to have to steal you away.' He tightens his hold just to prove his point.

'You can't.'

'Why not?'

'Well at least not yet. I have plans tonight.'

'Oh?'

'Yup. My secret lover is coming to steal me away. Sorry.'

'Well then, I will have to do something about this now won't I?'

'Oh what? Fight him in a duel?'

'Oh yes, I must fight for my Lady love.'

His what now?

'Did Madam Pomfrey give you too much pain-killing potion? Cause you have gone nuts!'

'If you wanna think that sure.'

'C'mon, dinners about to be served and I am looking forward to it.' He lets go of my waist and grabs my hand.

'You are hiding something Ginny, I intend to find out what.'

Oh I am hiding two things.

One which you are about to uncover, dear Harry.

The other...

That's going to be my little secret for a while longer thanks very much.

Ron and Hermione are looking around curiously when we reach the Great Hall.

Ron already has a huge pile of food stacked up in front of him; if I wasn't so used to this behaviour I would be sickened.

'What's up guys?' Harry asks wonderingly as we sit down.

'People are whispering about something.'

'Something?' I ask innocently.

'Yes. A something that is happening tonight.' Hermione stares at me with a knowing look in her eyes.

I smile and wait for the cue.

Jimmy and Ritchie saunter past with a casual 'Captain, Ginny, Your Majesty and Miss Hermione.'

'Those two are nuts.' Harry comments as he watches them plonk themselves near McLaggen not bothering to apologise for knocking over his drink.

'Yeah, but they're good beaters.' Ron mutters before launching into his potatoes.

'True.' Harry starts to have some Sheppard's' pie. I cut into a piece of steak as Becks and Colin sit down.

Then we hear a very odd noise. I smirk and carefully take my wand out.

Nearly everybody has swivelled round to look at McLaggen who is trying to stop his legs from moving.

He has just begun a lovely jig.

I point it carefully under the table at McLaggen and send him shooting upwards and onto the teachers' table. Zela summons it and sends it back to me in a few seconds.

Then McLaggen begins to serenade Snape.

Oh I am TOO good!!

I can see Jimmy and Ritchie setting up the light show.

Suddenly music has filled up the entire hall and bright lights are flashing and swirling.

Everybody is watching McLaggen prancing and singing loudly.

They are riveted.

So much so that I am able to summon Dean's wand and carefully point it at McLaggen and transfigure his robes.

I quickly banish it back and turn to admire my handy work.

Now his robes are sporting the 'Weasley is our king' logo and a sign is floating above his head declaring Ron to be the best Keeper he has ever had the fortune to lose to.

I burst into laughter as does everyone at the Gryffindor table. In fact loads of people have risen to their feet and are applauding our work of sheer art.

I can see Hagrid laughing his ass off and Dumbledore is chuckling merrily.

McGonagall much to my amazement is trying valiantly to mask her own laughter.

I look at Ron who is looking up at the teachers' table with a look of elation on his face.

Hermione is giggling beside him and Harry is laughing so hard he is crying.

I place an arm around his shoulders.

'Try not to die, please.' I turn to Ron. 'Like your surprise?'

'You are the best!!' He laughs throwing his head back laughing brilliantly.

'Glad to know I'm good.' I look at Colin and Becks only to find them not on the seat but on the floor.

'Too. Funny. Can't breathe.'

Becks wheezes whilst laughing at the same time.

How she manages to co-ordinate such feats I'll never know.

Colin is looking up with a look of exasperation tinted with amusement.

Well seeing as he is seeing this spectacle and pinned under Becks you can see why.

Suddenly the music cuts out and I look back up to see McLaggen sitting in Snape's lap looking completely baffled still in his Weasley ordained robes.

Well, I consider that a perfect picture.

Well almost...

McLaggen is going have an even better time when he gets to bed tonight.

Just in case you were wondering where the green gloop vanished too.

I am too good.

We all get up after dinner and head back up to the Common Room, well we were until Harry pulled me away.

'You are brilliant.' He grins pulling me down one of the hidden passages.

'I know. Modest to boot.'

'Don't I know it.'

'What are you doing Harry?' I ask seeing as I am still being lead down a hidden corridor.

I haven't ever been down this one before, I do believe.

'You did say that someone else was to kidnap you tonight so I thought I'd beat him to the punch.'

'You did, did you? And what made you think that I would follow?'

'You love me.' AHHHHH!!

He can't know!!

Can he?

Breathe Ginny.

Play it cool.

'Really?'

'Yup.'

'How do you figure that?'

'I'm psychic.'

'Say what?'

'Never mind.'

'Okaaaaaaaaay?'

He chuckles and pushes me against the wall.

'Harrrrrrrrrrrry!'

'What?' he blinks down at me innocently.

'You are impossible you know that?' I look up at him annoyed.

'Yeah and you are amazing, have I told you that?'

'Once or twice.'

'Hmmm, well I should tell you more often now shouldn't I? Don't want to lose you to some rapscallion now do I?'

'I don't know... Do you?'

'Never. I never want to. I love you far too much.'

Then he proceeds to kiss me senseless.

Knees buckling...

Do I care?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Oh wait.

He didn't...

Did he?

Oh he did...

Holy mother of Lucifer.
