Something was wrong. The day was sunny and bright. Birds were chirping outside the castle walls. Fred and George hadn't made Harry want to pull his hair out. Wait- that's it. Fred and George were nowhere to be seen.
In fact Harry hadn't seen Hermione since that morning either. Harry jumped up from his seat on the grass in front of the school.
He looked around him warily before making his way back into the castle. If the twins and Hermione were missing at the same time something bad was going to come of it. Harry searched every floor, hallway, and room.
He found Ginny while he was searching the first floor and even got her to check in the girl's bathrooms but nothing. Harry was freaking out now.
Hermione was smart, super smart. The twins had already started to corrupt her but if it got much worse things could get bad. With her brains, if she become like the twins they were all doomed.
Harry had asked everyone he came across, even people he had never spoken to in his life. It didn't matter who they were or if he even knew them. They probably thought he was crazy the way he was going on but it was a small price to pay.
One day they would either be thanking him for saving them from what could virtually become a disaster or they would be wishing they had listened and believed him when that disaster did come.
Harry recruited Ginny, Ron, and Neville to help him look as well. They knew how great the consequences would be if Hermione was left alone with the twins. They knew that they could not sit by and just let it happen.
Finally, after an hour of looking they all met back up in the great hall. There was only one place they hadn't looked yet, the room of requirement.
They ran. Whizzing past Filch and Mrs. Norris and up the staircase before it could move and set them off course until they came to the hallway. Harry quickly walked back and forth past the wall thinking that he needed to find Hermione and the twins.
When the door appeared they barged. There were shocked gasps as they came in because the people already occupying the room obviously weren't expecting any interruptions.
Harry looked around the room it was practically empty except for the table in the far end of the room where Fred, George, and Hermione were sitting with dozens of papers strewn across it.
"What's going on her?" Ginny asked suspiciously.
"Nothing." Came the reply from the three in question.
"Then what are all those papers?" Ron asked trying to get a better look at them
"It doesn't matter" Hermione told him flippantly as she and the twins hurriedly collected the papers.
George dropped one of his but before he even had the chance to turn to it Neville had summoned it to him. Fred and George looked at each other then back at Neville with identical worried expressions on their faces.
Neville read the paper aloud "Materials: five gallons of glue, snakes, charmed toilet seats- what is this?"
Hermione sighed in frustration. "Might as well tell them, they won't give up until they know now. Fred George and I are planning a prank on the Slytherins. That is a list of some of the things we need to pull it off."
Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Neville stared at Hermione as if she had suddenly grown three heads. Hermione Granger was pulling a prank on the Slytherins with Fred and George.
"No!" Harry shook his head adamantly. "Absolutely not, I won't allow it! You two have to stop being corrupting influences, especially to Hermione. She is bloody brilliant if she gets any more like the two of you the rest of us will be doomed!"
Harry turned to walk out the door and go get an aspirin. Before he left he turned and gave the twins a warning look "this is going in the DA letter." And with that said he left.
