"Oi, Potter!"

"Oh Merlin, what now?" Harry said to himself as he, Ron, and Hermione paused their walk to charms class and turned to see none other than the infamous Weasley twins making their way over to the trio. "Can I help you two with something?"

"So Harry-" George started.

"You were strangely absent-" Fred took over.

They finished together "from breakfast this morning?"

"I wonder why that was Fred?"

"I'm curious about that myself George."

Harry stiffened in front of them causing Ron and Hermione confusion and the twins to smirk. "I just over slept that's all." Harry's voice was unsteady as he said this. Anyone in hearing distance could clearly tell he was lying and apparently was nervous about something.

"Really, because we think there's more to it than that. We think you were avoiding us and we think you know that we know why."

"What are two talking about Fred?" Asked Ron who had gotten lost in the conversation. He scrunched his face in confusion and looked at his older brothers expectantly.

Fred and George looked at each other simultaneously before George spoke up. "Well let's just say that Potter here did something that Hermione always used to threaten to do but never actually followed through with."

Hermione became even more confused at this, how did she get involved in this conversation? Then it hit her. "What did he write your mother about?"

Ron blanched, the twins smirked, and Harry tried to back away but was stopped by Fred and George.

"Blimey! What did they do that you would write to mum about?" Ron asked after coming out of his stupor.

"Well in my defense I did warn them and I even put it in the letter to the DA." Harry spoke quickly eyes darting between the two red heads in question. "I told them that 'I can and will tell your parents if you bite me' but they didn't believe me and did it anyway. I don't know why I didn't even do anything, I was just trying to write my potions essay."

"Forget why we did it Potter that's not important." Fred stressed to the boy with the lightning bolt scar."

His twin took over from there. "Yeah, so what if you had a bite mark or two on your arms for a little while, we were just forced to endure a howler from MUM!"

"Well I don't know what to tell you guys, but would you look at the time I have to get to class, bye!" harry sped off before he finished his sentence with Ron trailing behind him. Hermione stayed back with the twins for a moment.

"So why did you two bite him?" she asked once the other two were out of sight, which at the speed Harry was going didn't take long.

"Well you see Granger that is a very interesting story there." George threw his arm around her shoulders as he said this.

Fred Threw his arm over her other shoulder. "You see Mione dear the answer to your question is that we just thought it would bother him, he seemed so serious doing that essay that we thought he needed a distraction and what better way to do that than by annoying him. Mcgonagall says we excel at that."

"So you see we were really just had Harry's best interest at heart. And to think he repays us by writing mum. I shudder at he memory of that howler."

Earlier that day in the great hall

They never even saw it coming. Everything was going so well that morning too. They had a prank set up for the Slytherins that day and the thought alone was enough to put a smile on their faces.

That's why it came as such a shock when the owl swooped in and dropped the letter in front of them. They didn't even realize what it was a first, not until their fellow Gryffindors froze mid conversation. Only then did they look down at what exactly was dropped in front of them.

"Oh no" came from the identical boys sitting next to each other.

"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY I AM APPALLED! WHAT ON EARTH WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MINDS WHEN- SNUFFLES STOP LAUGHING- WHEN YOU NOT ONLY INTERRUPTED HARRY FROM HIS STUDIES BUT BIT HIM? WHAT ON EARTH POSSESSED YOU TO DO SUCH A THING?YOU TWO ARE GOING TO DRIVE ME TO AN EARLY GRAVE! IF I HEAR THAT YOU TWO HAVE GOTTEN INTO ANY MORE TROUBLE BEFORE YOU COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS THERE WILL BE TROUBLE!"

There were blank stares directed at Fred and George from all around the hall. Even the staff were giving them strange looks, except for Dumbledore who was distracted by a bowl of Sherbert Lemons.

They stood from their seats and looked around for the culprit of this heinous act. The cause of the Howler, however, was nowhere to be seen. Realizing this they made their way out of the great hall in search for their dear DA leader.

As they continued their search for Harry George leaned over to Fred and whispered to him. "Good thing the DA is a secret Mum would lose it if she knew we were in a secret illegal club learning to fight against death eaters."

Fred had no reply other than to nod his head as at that moment they spotted the messy black hair of Harry Potter.
