I walked into my dorm sighing and pulling my tie of. I had just had to explain to Wood that madame pomfrey had finally let me out after quidditch practise since she knew I would go otherwise. Be shouted at by Ron for hurting Hermione to which I explained I didn't do anything but he didn't believe me. It will probably be harder to get some time to hang out with her now. It was hard enough already. I just wanted to sleep. I had missed dinner which I was slightly annoyed about but I wasn't going to leave Hermione sitting in the hospital wing on her own whilst madame pomfrey ranted about spell use in corridors. I told her a random slytherin did It to Hermione. She had been let out about 15 minutes ago and I had taken her straight to the common room where the whole ron and wood conversations had happened. Flopping onto my bed whilst kicking my shoes off I let out a small groan. I was about to pull my curtains closed when I saw that Fred was in the room he was putting a few things into a bag. Why hadn't he said hi.

"Hullo Freddie" I muttered. He looked over at me and did a small glare before grabbing his wand and the last few things and storming towards the door. I sat up quickly "Freddie? What's wrong"

"nothing" he said stiffly

"Where are you going?"

"Me and Lee are pulling a prank" At the word prank I suddenly felt more awake.

"awesome, gimmie a minute to change and I'll come with you"

"no" wait what..

"what?"

"i said no. Don't bother go to sleep"

"I'm not tired and I want to do a prank"

"Well I don't want you to do a prank with me"

"and why is that?"

"Because You're a prick" and with that he stormed out of the room...Well that was weird. I sat for a second before deciding to follow running after him and through the portrait whole

"Fred!" He didn't turn round "Gred!" Still not acknowledging me "FREDDIE!" Finally he turned round.

"What?" he snapped

"What's got your want in a knot?" I questioned

"You" He spat

"Me? And what did I do exactly?"

"You told me to piss off ! And you pushed me"

"you had hurt Hermione"

"It was an accident !"

"You shouldn't have used a spell that could have hurt her"

"I forgot that It would hurt her. I thought It would just make her eye sight a bit weird for a minute. I only remembered after I shot it! And she didn't seem to have any problem with me wanting to come with you guys. It was only you"

"You just made her cry so yeah I didn't want you with her"

"why are you so protective of her? When I use to make Ron cry you didn't care and he's your little brother!"

"Because Ron's an idiot and she's one of my best friends!"

"but i'm your best friend and brother and I was upset that I hurt her so surely best friend and brother is over just best friend so you should have let me apologise properly and come with you"

"hu?"

"and why don't you call her Hermione to her face?"

"You only do occasionally" I defended

"yeah but you never do"

"because" I replied with a little shrug

"because why?" Fred pushed

"because I just don't want to call her it"

"why not"

"I dunno, everyone does"

"that makes no sense"

"your face makes no sense!" I snapped back making him stop for a second

"you're a moron"

"so's your mum"

"your mums my mum Georgie" Fred said as if I was a four year old. Maybe I was acting like it but still.

"Look I'm sorry for telling you to piss off and pushing you but I didn't think Hermione would want you near her"

"sure." He said shortly and I let out a sigh as he started walking again "You coming Georgie I don't think lee will wait forever" I smirked and ran after him my socks skidding on the smooth stone floors.

"So what is the plan for pranks?" I asked once we finally got to lee.

"We have a few and not much time"

"how come?"

"Tomorrow is the last day before christmas holidays. And since we don't want detention throughout our holidays we need to do a holiday worth of pranks now so that if we get caught they just give us detentions tomorrow and we will still be free Christmas holidays" I Didn't feel the need to tell them that you couldn't have detention on a holiday as the thought of lots of pranks in one night would be fun.

"Right so if we all take 3 pranks each and get to work. Try not to get caught but if you do. Do not get the other two in trouble. It is not funny" Lee said glaring at me and Fred refuring to 2 days ago when we had pulled a prank then blamed it on Lee causing him to get a detention. Lee handed me a slip of paper with three pranks on it. "now go!" Fred and Lee both ran of quickly mischievous smirks on their faces. When did we get so organised in pranking that we had lists ?I looked down to my list.

George Weasley's list of Pranks to do.

Release the cornish pixie's we caught last week in snapes classroom. We're meant to have potion's first and neither me or fred have done our homework.

Change the Slytherin banner in the hall to a pink and purple banner with a teddy beat on it.

Steal polyjuice potion from Snapes office and transform into Dumbledore and go and convince the door to the slytherin common room that there is a new pass word and it is 'Long live Harry Potter'

Laughing I ran off towards my dorm to collect the pixie's and one of dumbledore's hairs. One had got onto Fred's robes earlier in the year when we got sent to his office for turning the slytherins Hufflepuff colours and we kept it thinking it might come in useful one day. I'm not sure why we thought that but it's a good thing we did. Now I think about it it just makes us seem like insane stalkers.

"Today's potion's lessons will be cancelled due to Excessive damage to the classroom and it being unsafe from all the fumes from broken potions" I saw Fred and lee doing little smiles. My eyes travelled up to the slytherin banner a small smirk on my face. The teachers hadn't figured out how to change it back yet. They tried all the normal spells to stop a spell Finite incantartem and stuff but what the didn't know was I just used a bit of magic to paint it onto a bed sheet that I magic'd into the right shape. Put it up and just stole the Slytherin banner. Right now it's hidden in my bottom draw. "Slytherin's your password at the moment is 'Long live Harry Potter' I will change this back once I get the chance. Everyone who had astronomy last night I do apologise but you will be having it again tonight as the telescopes were bewitched to show non-existent constellations. Finally Mr Weasley and Mr Weasley if you would go wait in my office for me I would like to have a word with you.

"go on Ron Perce, He's talking to you" I muttered Ron looked at me scared before standing up awkwadly. Making me and Fred laugh

"He means the Twins Ronald" Hermione hissed. Pulling him down, this made a few other people laugh. Percy stood up pompously

"Excuse me sir but for my little brother's sake which Weasleys are you talking about"

"Fred and George Mr weasley" We both tried to look shocked before standing up

"Figures" Percy mumbled sitting down.

"shall we Georgie?"

"We shall Freddie" hooking arms we began to skip out of the hall

"Were off to see the wizard

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!" We sang as we skipped out leaving everyone laughing.

The door to the office opened and Dumbledore walked in Snape and McGonagall storming in behind him.

"Good morning Professor Dumbledore. Greasy" Fred said politly look to Snape when say greasy.

"Kitten" I continued winking at McGonagall who's lips thined even more. Dumbledore had the normal twinkle in his eye. Where as Snape and Mcgonagall looked as if they were about to kill us.

"Out of my seat boys" Dumbledore stated. Both of us got up quickly walking round to the other side.

"Of course sir" We replied in unison. Turning to face him with equally innocent smiles

"now I trust you know why you're here?"

"I have it on good authority that you have no evidence" Fred said in a tone you would expect from percy before sitting down on one of the chairs Dumbledore had just conjured. I followed Fred's lead sitting down.

"Your friend lee Jordan told me." Fred's mouth fell open. What a dick!

"A-and how do you know he is not just saying that to get us in trouble and he was actually the one who did all of these pranks?" Dumbledore looked at me for a second as if to say go on and I stood up. "I mean it's the perfect plan right? Do a bunch of pranks and blame the two biggest pranksters in school. Even if he had got caught he probably would have managed to link it back to us someway. Anyway sir, You know the sort of pranks we pull. Don't these seem a little...Juvenile for us? Focusing on dear snapey"

"professor snape" Dumbledore corrected

"Here" I said throwing my arm around Snape " and the Slytherin's. I mean when we prank we do stuff that effects the entire school. For example, when we taught peeve's how to paint ball" I looked to Snape who looked like he was about to Avarda kedavra me and quickly removed my arm. "Sir you are a very smart Wizard. Some would argue you're almost as smart as me" I gave a little wink to show I was joking "I'm sure you can see the logic in what I'm saying" With that I sat back in the chair

"Mr Weasley" He said looking to Fred "do you have anything to add?"

"no sir, I believe my twin has said all that there is to say"

"then you may go. Tell Mr Jordan to come up here"

"Professor" Snapes drawling voice came "surely you don't believe these two. If they had not done anything why did they say we had no evidence when we came in?"

"Well that sir. We might as well tell you. That was because we had infact tried to convince the house elves to slip some of zonko's love potion into Draco Malfoy's juice for breakfast so he would fall in love with Harry but you see we were caught on the way there by professor flitwick. Who confiscated the product and deducted 20 house points from us. We realise this is childish but but the potion would only last 12 hours. So you see with lessons nothing to serious would happen just a lot of humiliation on Malfoy's part" Fred said sadly. This was true we were trying to finish Fred's last prank which was to slip it into his Juice when Flitwick caught us

"and why would you want to do this?"

"Well you see Sir he's been giving our little brother Ron and Harry quite a lot of trouble." Fred replied

"and Hermione!" I butted in making everyone look at me "well..he has" I muttered awkwardly.

"You had double potion's now did you not?"

"yes sir"

"you will be helping tidy up Professor snapes room for an hour. Minerva could you get Mr Jordan and get him doing the same but for the full double and break?"

"Of course sir" Professor McGonagall nodded and walked out of the room followed by Snape. The bell went and Dumbledore smiled

"Professor Snape will be wanting you in his room"

"yes sir.. Thank you sir" we both said before walking out quickly.

"how the hell did you manage to get me into trouble ?" Lee snapped. As he stood gas mask on as he swept the floor.

"Never try to trick a trickster.. Or a pair of tricksters Lee." Fred mocked

"I hate you two"

"I hate you" I replied "I had stuff to do today"

"oh yeah..like what?" Fred asked laughing. Thinking quickly I started to talk

"Today is Hermione's last day before she leaves for Christmas I wanted to spend it with her. This time her being able to see the entire time" I said throwing a glare to Fred.

"She'll be in lesson now. And me and you are only in here for an hour." Lee replied

"I was going to get her to skip history of magic so we could hang out"

"like she'd do that" Lee laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Georgie...You're lying" I looked over and saw the look Fred was giving me.

"No I'm not" I replied quickly.

"yes..you are. Why ?"

"why do you think I am"

"your voice gets a bit higher when you lie and you always look away from the person you're talking to" I didn't answer "come on Georgie tell me" I continued scrubbing the floor "Georgieeeeeee"

"..." I muttered

"what? I didn't hear that"

"I'm taking Cho out" I mumbled looking up to him. His eye were wide

"as in that weirdo Ravenclaw second year who seems to emotional to be humanly possible?"

"yes the Ravenclaw second year. And she's not a weirdo and she's not too emotional. She..just has a lot of feelings"

"When did you decide you would take her out?"

"Last week...She caught up with me after class saying she was happy I was alive after the whole falling down the stairs thing.. her friends were kinda laughing about me tripping down the stairs so I kissed her to get a bit of my rep back and she was all happy and I just..asked her out . I'm surprised they haven't spread it everywhere yet."

"so what time is your date with Cho then?" Fred asked looking beyond amused.

"We were gunna skip the whole day. But now I'm stuck in detention sooo..I just hope I can find her in the change over of lessons."

Hermione's POV

I walked looking down at my feet as the scuffed on the floor. I had no more lessons for the day and I would be leaving Hogwarts tomorrow morning for Christmas. The first term had went pretty quickly and had been good. You know minus nearly being killed by a troll no one liking me and kissing George. I heard voices and poked my head around the corner curiously. I smiled when I saw George the smile quickly fell from my face as I looked to the girl he was with. George was leaning on the wall a lazy smile on his face Cho Chang standing in front of him there hands intertwined and hanging loosely between them as George said things making her laugh. One point he was laughing as well and turned his head slightly to the side and spotted me. He stood up a bit straighter and when he looked back to Cho I quickly walked off.

Georges POV

I laughed. My head turning to the side, people usually walked past here a lot and I didn't really want people to see me with Cho. Not that she's not cute and whatever but I mean, she's a bit to desperate especially today. So I didn't want everyone to think we were dating. Instead my eyes got glued to a bushy haired first year peering round the corner. Oh shittt. I stood up a little straighter and turned back to Cho.

"I'm gunna have to go. Fred's expecting me back with these" I motioned to my bag which had loads of shrunken down bottles of butterbeer and a few fire whiskey along with some snacks for an end of term party. She did a little nod

"Today was really fun"

"yeah" I said smiling quickly giving her a peck on the cheek I dropped my hand from hers and walked around the corner once I did I started running. After the little blob of bushy hair bouncing down the hall. Would she be upset? I mean she knows were just friends so she shouldn't but what if she is she better not not talk to me again.

"Granger?" I called out tentatively. To my surprise she turned around.

"Sorry" She said awkwardly "I didn't know you two would be there I didn't mean to...ruin the moment or whatever" By the way she said ruin the moment I could tell she was slightly upset.

"Don't worry about it Granger. You gave me an excuse to leave anyway"

"Don't you like her?"

"She's cute. But a bit to forward. I felt like she was about to jump me half the time. Also her mood swings kinda gave me whiplash. She was all happy then I got her the wrong flavour fudge and she had a bitch fit then she was all happy again for no reason" Well I kissed her but I wasn't about to say that. Hermione let out a small laugh

"sounds like fun"

"Very...shall we?" I asked pointing in the direction of the stairs she nodded and we began to walk "You're going home for the holidays aren't you?" I asked looking down to her

"Yeah. I'm really looking forward to seeing my mum and dad again. Also Christmas is amazing there. Sure the Christmas tree's are smaller" I laughed thinking of the size of the tree's in the great hall. "We always go to my nan's and the whole family's there. It's the only time we see each other really." She went on talking about her family Christmas' for a little while her stories making me laugh like how every year her nan forgot to cook her cousins food since she was vegetarian so had some quorn thing instead of Turkey. "what are Christmas' like at yours ?"

"Crazy. My brothers Bill and Charlie come home. Bill works in Egypt as a curse breaker for Gringotts. Even though he was head boy and prefect he's pretty cool. Every year my mum will pester him to let her cut his hair since it's long enough to be put in a pony tail and usually is but he never lets her. Then Charlie.. Well mum always worries about Charlie, he studies Dragons in Romania. He's always coming home with burns and stuff. He was a prefect too but also pretty cool. I think Percy is the only prefect who took it really seriously. Charlie's the one who got me into quidditch, he was captain of the team and the best seeker gryffindor has ever had probably. Well before harry came along. Anyway, we'll have all us kids and then some family friends over. They use to come over more before Voldemort was off'd by Harry. Me and Fred were only 1 but People always came over and they would sit talking to mum and dad. I remember Harry's mum and dad coming over one time."

"You remember all this from when you were 1"

"1 and a half...I don't know how I remember but whatever. Yeah so Christmas." I talked for a bit about Christmas at mine "but this year mum and dad are going to Romania so us Weasley's are stuck at Hogwarts. First time I haven't spent a Christmas with my parents." I turned into a corridor on the 4th floor leaving behind the grand staircase. Finding a window cil I sat down. Hermione following my lead."So..what time do you leave tomorrow?"

"At 11"

"nice. You gunna miss me?"

"Yeah loads" she said sarcastically

"You know you will Granger. Not being able to stare at this hot body"

"George" Hermione warned

"Or randomly throw yourself at me" Blushing she stood up and began to walk off "Granger come back"

"no!"

"I was joking" I begged

"well it's embarrassing." I sighed

"what if I tell you something embarrassing about myself?" She slowly turned back to face me.

"how embarrassing?"

"Very"

"go on"

"Come sit back down" She rolled her eyes but came and sat back on the window sil.

"So...Tell me"

"When me and Fred where little kids we shared a bed since there weren't enough in the house and we couldn't afford another at that point" I said

"that's your embarrassing story? That sucks"

"I'm not done yet Granger! Finally we got our own beds but whenever one of us got scared or upset we would crawl into the other person's bed. When we first got to Hogwarts we both got a bit homesick. As first years do...I mean look at you, you were panicking about sending a letter to your mum and dad on the first night. Anyway so we got homesick so for the first 2 week's we shared a bed." I muttered awkwardly and she let out a small giggle

"well..You were only 11."

"Yeah but I wasn't two weeks ago when I had a bad dream and climbed into fred's bed. Or when I got back from the hospital wing after falling down the stairs" She laughed again this time a bit louder

"why did you do it that time?"

"Well actually he climbed into my bed that time. But he was scared because that was the first and only time he's seen me that beaten up"

"naww little Fred and George sharing a bed. How cute"

"Tell anyone you die!" I snapped and she nodded making me smile "Now If I ever tease you you can just tease me back" One of her feet kicked my bag as she was swinging them and there was clinking of glass hitting other glass and she looked at my bag confused.

"Oh yeah..The party"

"what Party?"

"well you see were just going to miss you so much were having a goodbye Hermione have a nice Christmas party." I replied sarcastically "Were having a little end of term thing and me and Fred being the awesome one's are the one's who are bringing the supplies. Such as lots of butterbeer. Some fire whiskey and food.

"how do you fit that in there" She asked bemused

"Undetectable extension charm. It's very handy. You should keep it in mind" She nodded happily. "shall we depart?"

"Is it against the rules"

"as long as we don't get to loud no one outside the common room will even know" I stood up swinging my bag over my shoulder. "come on Granger. We have a party to set up for" she looked at sceptically for a second. I gave her a hopefully smile.

"fine" She stood up and smirked as we started walking towards the stairs again

"oh and Granger?"

"yeah ?"

"No getting drunk" She laughed and gave me a playful shove.
