Chapter One

OWLs.

Draco stared at the paper. Outstandings in everthing but Care of Magical Creatures (No surprise) Divination(Again, no surprise) and Charms. Charms was only an exceeded expectations. But his dad was going to be pissed.

Sure his Dad was in Azkaban, but he still was gonna be pissed. Draco shuddered. Maybe he could fake it. Yeah cause that worked so well last time.

He sighed. Maybe he could talk to Flitwick and get it changed. He wanted to be an Auror, though he had never told his dad. He needed an outstanding on the NEWTS in the spring to get that.

Ginny flipped through the Charms book that Hermione was letting her read. Ginny's only good areas seemed to be Charms, Care of Magical Creatures and DaDa.Her best area was Potions. Hermione was nervously pacing the room, waiting for her OWL results.

"Jees, Mione, what are you so upset about? Afraid you missed one question?" Ron asked sleepily. Hermione had dragged him and Harry down to wait with her.

Hermione glared at him. "I'm not afraid of anything."

"Aye," Ginny agreed in a scottish brougue. "Nothin' exceptin' OWLS- mph!"

Ginny was abruptly tackled by a sleep deprived Hermione. Ginny laughed bosteriously as Hermione pretended rage at her friend. There had never been anything sexual on Ginny's part when it came to Hermione.

Suddenly there was a flutter of wings and four white owls landed gracefully on the table. Hermione squealed and lept up. Ron and Harry calmly took thiers, thier birds flying off and Hermione's soon joined them. The three students tore open thier letters, none noticing the forth bird. Ginny got to her feet and looked at the letter tied to the owl's out stretched leg.

To MIss Weasley

Intrigued, Ginny undid the letter and gave the owl a nugget from one of her pockets before he flew off. She carefully broke the Hogwarts seal on her letter and unfolded it.

Miss Ginevera Weasley.

It is with a certain degree of pride that I invite you to join the Advanced Potions class here at Hogwarts. This class consists only of hand selected students who have shown a degree of excelence in the area and show an interest in taht as a career feild. I believe you intend to be an Auror with an emphasis on the Potions side. If you agree, send word to me and I will send you a book list.

Professor Snape.

Ginny bit her lip. Advanced Potions! She didn't even know such a class exsisted. But Merlin, to be in it! She had about sixty gallons piled away from birthdays, so she could probably just afford the books.

She was sitting on the table, about to draft her letter, when the twins came in.

"Guten tag!" George belted out.

"That's french!" Fred replied.

"It's German," Hermione replied fianlly looking up from her results, a satisfied look in her eyes.

"How do you like that?" George commented, looking over her shoulder at what she had been reading. "We speak German too."

"Ooh! YOur OWLS!" Fred cooed, looking at Ron's paper. "Six OWLS! not bad."

Ron hid his paper away. "As I recall, you two barely scouped up six between the lot of you."

The twins looked proud and went to stand by Ginny. "All because of her, little brother."

Ron looked confused. "What did Ginny do?"

Hermione looked horrified. "You didn't help them cheat? Did you?"

Ginny shook her head. "Hermione, you know you can't cheat on OWLS."

"No," Fred broke in. "Our little Ginners helped us study for our tests. If any one can get you to pass a test, it's Ginen."

"Oooohhhoooo!" George sang, picking up Ginny's letter. "What's this?" He held it aloft. Ginny was tall but her brothers were still taller.

"Looks like an invitation to a weekedn tryst with the girl members of the Scandinavian Quidditch team."

GInny was completely out of the closet. She and Luna had dated for three weeks during her third year and Ginny had let every one know how she felt about girls.

"Nah, George said, reading it. "Just an invitation to join Advanced Potions."

Hermione looked up, surprised she had never heard of the class. Fred quickly reassured her. "Don't worry love. It's only for those seriously considering a career in Potions. Forge and I were invited but Snape threatened to quit if we accepted."

George looked Ginny up and down. "You are going to accept, right?"

Ginny nodded. Wild horses couldn't keep her from this class.

"Settled then, how much do you reckon you need for books?"

"W-well, I have out about sixty so..." She stammered.

"Nonesense. We'll pay. We insist. Two hundred should do."

Ron's jaw dropped. "HOw come you never offered to buy me books?"

"Because, Ronald, you never made it into Advanced Potions."

"And," Fred said, hugging Ginny. "You aren't nearly as cute as our sister."

"Plus, when was the last time you invited your hot ex girlfriends over and let us meet them?"

(A/N: Yeah! CHapter One! I used some quotes and here they are in thier entirity-

"But you don't want that. So let's just row back to Spain. After all it worked so well last time." Road to Eldorado.

"The Nac Mac Feegle are afeard o' nothin'!"

"Aye, nothin' exceptin' laywers mmph mmph." The Wee Free Men- Terry Prattchett. 151

"Aurevoir. That's Spanish."

"It's French."

"How do you like that? I speak French too." Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstien.)
