I'd like to thank Frooney, Suz, Jen, for introducing me to the freaky fan fic world! All my friends who might pop up in this book, hope you're not offended! :-)

Chapter 3

Georgina sat up in her four-poster bed. It was still dark so she looked blindly for her glow in the dark watch. It was half past four. She sighed.

"You awake?" Robin whispered.

Georgina grunted.

"Come downstairs?" Robin got out of her bed and walked to the oak door.

"Sure." She got up and followed.

The stone steps felt cold against her feet as she walked behind Robin down to the common room.

Robin jumped into a chair by the fire and watched Georgina's groggy face stumble down next to her into another comfy armchair.

"Still feels like a dream."

"What does?" Robin sat up and looked at her.

"This."

"Hogwarts?"

"Yeah and the whole being a witch thing." She tried to untangle a knot from her hair. "I don't think I've quite got used to it."

Robin smiled. "Well it ain't a dream, I assure you!"

She sighed.

"Don't you wanna be here?"

"Yeah, I do. I didn't fit in back there anyway. It's just so weird." She gave up on her hair and sat up to look at Robin. "Do you know what I mean? When did you find out?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I've always known. I can understand why it's weird for you though. My Dad didn't know either."

"Is your Dad famous?"

Robin raised her eyebrows. "I guess so. Why?"

"I just noticed that everyone seems to know who he is. Is it because he plays for England?"

"Yeah and his past. That's a long story."

"How long?"

"Too long!"

Georgina curled up on her chair guessing that Robin didn't want to tell her.

Robin sighed and rested her head in her hands.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, do you really wanna know?" She lifted her head up and looked at Georgina.

"About your Dad, yes, but if you don't want to tell me it's fine."

"Thanks." She smiled. "So how about you. Any brothers or sisters?"

"An older brother. He's not a wizard."

"How old?"

"Sixteen."

Alan walked downstairs. "Hey, what you doin' up?"

"Girl talk!" Robin raised her eyebrows.

Alan smirked. "Oh right, talking about how you think I'm amazing and gorgeous. Do carry on!"

"Yep, that's the one." Robin yawned. "but we've run out of things to say now haven't we?"

Georgina nodded. "But we could talk about Marcus alllll night!"

"Ok ok. So what were you really talking about?" He sat down in the chair opposite Georgina.

"Nothin' much. What brings you down here anyway?" Robin sat up.

"That brother of yours won't stop snoring!"

"Hit him, that's what I do!"

"I have, several times."

Georgina laughed. "That's a problem we don't have in the girls dormitory."

"What?"

"Girls don't snore!"

"Oh yes they do, you should hear my Mum! My Dad had to buy ear plugs it got so bad!"

"What time is it?" Robin asked.

"See see, changing the subject!" Alan jumped up pointing at Robin.

Robin raised an eyebrow. "Whatever!"



* * * * *


They all walked into the main hall for breakfast at around eight when they finally got James out of bed.

"I do not snore!"

"I think that you'll find you do, mate!" Alan laughed.

Phoebe stood up as they walked in holding some pieces of paper. "Timetables are over here."

Robin walked over to get them and sat down next to Georgina handing them out.

"Oh great, potions with Slytherin!" Alan moaned.

"Is that our first lesson?"

"Nope, second."

James looked devastated.

Tabitha walked up. "What's wrong with you lot?"

Robin handed her a timetable.

"Oh, right. They always put us with Slytherin. Snape's idea of a bad joke!"

Alan sighed.

"Oh cheer up. It's not that bad."

A second year Slytherin girl walked past Tabitha and said sarcastically. "Nice hair!"

Tabitha rolled her eyes. "Ok, maybe it is that bad but you'll get used to it!" She gave Robin back her timetable. "Just don't get on Snape's bad side."

"When's that guy going to retire anyway?" Alan took a huge bite out of his toast angrily.

The twins shrugged.

"Which one's Snape?" Georgina looked along the row of teachers eating their breakfast on the table at the front.

"The one with the black hair." Tabitha pointed to him while he was buttering his toast.

"The black greasy hair!" Alan corrected her.

"He's head of Slytherin. Now I'd better go. I need to go to the library before class. Tell me if I get any post." Tabitha grabbed a roll of bread as she walked out.

"Why does she need to go to the library? It's the first day," James said in between drinking his orange juice.

Robin smiled. "That's what she does!"

Georgina nearly fell over her stool when the morning chatting was interrupted by what seemed like millions of owls swooping down from the roof dropping hundreds of packages onto the tables. A small letter landed on Alan's plate.

James's tawny owl landed on the table and Robin's snowy owl was not far behind.

"Hello Muffin!" Robin stroked his white feathers softly.

"Muffin?" Alan dropped his letter. "Who in their right mind would call their owl, Muffin?!"

"It's a nice name!" She looked at James owl. "Ask him what he called his?"

Alan looked at James.

"She's called Jenkins, Jen for short." She stroked her proudly on her back.

Alan spat out his drink. "Jenkins? You named her after a Quidditch player? A male Quidditch player!"

"Better than Muffin!" James smirked.

"I suppose so." Alan laughed.

"Open your letter." Georgina pointed at it in his hand.

He tore open its green envelope and out fell a short letter and a picture of a laughing baby.

Robin smiled picking up the picture to look at it more closely.



* * * * *


Georgina smiled, "Aww, she's so cute."

The baby was dark skinned and had fluffy black hair.

"Where's the Weasley red hair?" Alan laughed passing the picture to James who dropped it on the floor.

"Don't worry, you'll still be able to tell it's a Weasley," acold voice came from behind them. They all turned around to see Invidia holding the picture. "It's ugly!" A girl with dark brown hair down to her waist and a boy with short blond hair sniggered behind her.

"Give it back, Malfoy." James stood up.

"Ooooh, touched a soft spot have I?" She laughed bitterly.

Georgina looked up at her perfect blonde hair and cold grey eyes. Robin stood up next to her brother. "Just give it back."

Invidia smiled. "Well isn't that cute? Sisterly love!" She raised an eyebrow and looked down at Georgina staring up at her. "And what are you looking at?"

Georgina looked away quickly.

"Your big ugly face!" Alan spat.

Invidia smirked. "Can't she talk for herself? What's wrong can't you speak as well as use a wand!"

Georgina felt her cheeks go red.

"Oh, and you're one to talk!" Alan laughed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Invidia looked up at Alan sharply.

He smiled. "Did you enjoy your trip to the floor yesterday?" He stood up next to the twins.

"Is that the best you can do?" She rolled her eyes. "Pathetic!"

"Just give it back. That's a family photo." Robin reached out to grab it but she stepped back.

"Well this is what I think of your ugly family!" She ripped the picture in half and let it fall on the floor. Georgina picked them up.

"See you in Potions!" She flicked her blonde hair behind her shoulders and walked off with her two 'friends'.

Georgina handed the ripped photos back to Alan.

"Thanks," he mumbled.

They all sat back down.

"Stupid Malfoys, just think how great life would be without them!" James said angrily.

"I can't wait for Potions!" Robin said sarcastically. Georgina ate some bread still looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Alan looked at her.

She sighed. "I'm fine, just, she's right."

They all looked at her confused.



* * * * *


Alan and James raced up the spiral staircase, with so many books you couldn't see their faces, into a big room where the rest of their class was. Georgina and Robin had saved them places near the back so they sat down quickly.

"You're late!" Robin looked at all the books. "What've you brought all these for, we haven't got Care of Magical Creatures, or History of Magic?"

"We just grabbed everything," James said out of breath.

"Where've you been?" Georgina asked looking at Alan's bright red face.

"We took the long route!" He said smiling at James.

James started laughing.

"What've you done?" Robin looked at them suspiciously.

Professor Winterson marched in the classroom. They all stood up until she sat on the desk at the front cross-legged.

"Lets just say, Invidia won't be laughing when she sees..."

"Weasley," Professor Winterson strode over to the back. "You are a Weasley aren't you?"

He nodded his head slowly.

"Well then you can shut up. My lesson has started." She walked back to the front briskly.

She smiled. "My new first years, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. I will be teaching you for at least five years so you'd better get on my good side!"

"Damn, that's me out!" Alan muttered to Georgina who smiled.

"Transfiguration is probably the most important subject you will ever come across..."

"I bet they all say that!" Alan whispered. Robin rolled her eyes but James and Georgina sniggered.

"Now could you all get out your wands." She sighed as Alan put up his hand, "What is it?"

"Erm, sorry but I left mine upstairs, could I..."

"Why?" she snapped.

"What?"

"Why did you leave it upstairs, this is Transfiguration. You will always need your wand, go get it."



* * * * *


"What've you done?" Robin asked James and Alan as they were walking out of Transfiguration.

"Come over here." Alan and James ran on ahead laughing to themselves. Robin and Georgina followed curiously.

There was a crowd of people sniggering around a suit of armour. The four of them pushed to the front and saw it was wearing a pair of pink knickers with a label saying 'Alan Weasley'.

Georgina and Robin burst out laughing leaving Alan and James staring at it in astonishment. Alan tore them off it and ran back down the corridor.

"Why did you do that?" Robin said, still laughing.

"We found them on the way back from breakfast," Alan muttered still looking very embarrassed.

"Yeah, they did have Invidia's name on them. Someone must have changed it." James looked at Alan. "Come on, it's not that bad!"

"You wouldn't be saying that if it was your name!" Alan snapped.

"Wait a minute." Robin looked at them both and then at the pink knickers in Alan's hands, "So you found a pair of old knickers, and you picked them up?"

"That's disgusting!" Georgina wrinkled her nose laughing.



* * * * *


They knew potions was going to be bad but they didn't know it was going to be as bad as it was.

"Ten points from Gryffindor," Snape snapped as the four of them walked in. "You're late!"

"By like, one minute!" Alan muttered as he dropped his stuff next to James.

"Make that twenty!" he growled as he walked past their desk. Robin rested her head in her hands and rolled her eyes.

Sean Alcote strode in and sat down next to Invidia who smiled up at Snape as he walked past. Alan pretended to throw up behind Snape and Invidia glared at him while Georgina sniggered. Snape spun around and looked at Alan sharply. Alan looked up at him innocently.

"Open your books, page three." He marched to front of the dungeon and started pouring a crystal white liquid into a bubbling cauldron.

They all looked down at the page and saw a sleeping man beside a big jar of clear liquid that looked like water.

"We will start by making a simple sleeping potion." He glared around the room. "If you have half a brain you will be able to make it with your eyes closed so lets see what you're good for."

Georgina looked blankly down at her book staring at all the instructions and arrows pointing at odd symbols. Robin began to get out all the apparatus and poured some red liquid into her cauldron.

"What do you do?" Georgina hissed frantically trying to find her test tubes.

"Just do what I do, make it up!" Alan said while pouring a thick jet-black liquid that looked a bit like tarmac into his caldron.

"What are you doing, we're supposed to use the red stuff!" Robin pointed at the steaming red liquid by his side. "What is that anyway?"

Alan shrugged his shoulders while adding some of the red liquid to the black stuff that was gradually turning into hard blobs. Georgina decided to copy Robin instead.

"What's that smell?" James keeled over onto the floor holding his stomach. Professor Snape marched over to him. "Get up fool!"

James stood up slowly whilst holding his nose.

Snape jumped back when he saw Alan happily mixing what looked like cement. He grabbed Alan's cauldron running to the front and threw it into the corner of the room with a deafening clang. "You idiot! Come here immediately!"

Alan walked slowly to Professor Snape, the rest of the class stopped working and watched.

"Where did you get the terminkle?"

"The what, sir?" Alan looked up at him blankly.

"The stuff you put with the red liquid you fool! What kind of an idiot mixes a substance you don't even know the name of with pinkymus?"

"A pink knickers-wearing idiot!" Invidia sniggered to Sean.

"I was being imaginative!" Alan shrugged his shoulders.

Snape's head looked as if it was about to burst. "Have you any idea how expensive terminkle is?"

Silence.

"I didn't think so. When did you steel it?"

"I didn't steel it, it was just there! Why would I steel it?" Alan snapped.

"Because it is worth more than any Weasley could ever even think of! Fifty more points taken from Gryffindor., fifty added to Slytherin!"

"What?"



* * * * *


"Wait a minute, you lost us seventy points in just one lesson?" Simon said in disbelief. "I think that's a new record, Lorenze!"

"Definitely! I haven't lost that in a week!" a girl sitting next to Simon said. She had red spiky hair and pouted lips.

"Oh yeah? What about when you sneaked into Filch's office to steel back that necklace thingy!"

"Shut up, that's beside the point! It was a family air-loom!"

"You lost us about five thousand points!" Simon turned away from Alan to face her.

Alan sighed and walked over to Georgina who was sat by the fire.

"What's wrong with you?" She looked up at his freckled face.

"I seem to be loosing the knack of not getting caught!" He sat down next to her.

She smiled. "The potion lesson still gettin' at you."

"No, why would I be bothered about that?"

She frowned. "Then what?"

"Everyone thinks I wear girls underwear!"

Georgina laughed. "Oh come on, I'm sure it's every male's fantasy to walk around in frilly knickers!"



* * * * *


"Hold the top of your broom firmly and up and away!" Professor Ferrol ran up and down the row of first years.

James was the first to shoot up to the tree and back. They were all in a line waiting to take it in turns. He whipped around the tree swiftly and landed back next to Alan, his brown hair sticking out in all directions!

"Well done! I can tell you're a Potter!"

Robin rolled her eyes and could not wait until she was back upstairs nice and warm in the common room. "I hope he doesn't expect me to be the same. Why fly when you can walk!"

Georgina smiled. "I'll probably end up stuck up the tree or something, go after me and you'll look like an expert!"

Robin laughed. "Ok then, you're next!" She pushed her to the front of the line.

"Go on then!" The flying teacher handed her a broom smiling. Georgina looked back at Robin gave her a warning look. Robin just laughed.

"So I just, push off?" She looked up at him nervously.

He nodded enthusiastically.

She took hold of the top of the broom and felt it rise to her waist. She tried to swing her leg over it but missed clumsily. She grinned, bit her lip and tried again, this time with success!

"What do I do now?" She looked around expecting the broom to suddenly sweep her away into the tree!

"Just push off the ground gently and use all the techniques we went through earlier." He stepped back, still smiling.

She nodded slowly and pushed off the ground nervously. The broom rose about a meter off the ground and she hovered on the spot wondering what on earth she should do next!

"Just point your broom forwards." He stepped next to her and gave her a push in the right direction.

She squeezed her eyes shut quickly as she felt herself moving slowly forwards.

"Try opening your eyes!" He shouted after her.

Georgina opened one eye and then the other when she realised she was only a few inches from the floor. She pointed the broom up a little and rose a few meters higher.



* * * * *


"That was the crapest lesson so far!" Robin moaned to Georgina after their flying lesson.

"No way, potions was. Anyway I quite enjoyed it."

"No, please, don't get sucked in with the Quidditch freaks. Once you're in there, there's no way out!"

"Your almost as crazy as me!" Georgina smiled.

"Yeah, almost."

It was their second day in Hogwarts and they were on their way to the dining hall to meet Alan and James. They were walking past Snape's office when they heard a hissing behind them.

"Hey, over here!" Alan's voice whispered urgently.

They turned around slowly to see a tuft of red hair poking out from behind a stone statue of a goblin. Georgina ran behind it leaving Robin standing in the corridor wondering what on earth he was up to now.

"What you doin'?" She poked her head around the statue letting a lock of golden waves dangle in front of her nose.

"Shhhhh!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down next to him so they were both hidden behind the goblin. Robin walked over out of curiosity.

"What the hell?" She glared down at them. Georgina shrugged her shoulders and turned to face Alan.

"Get down, quick!" He reached up to grab her hand but she jumped back.

"I'll get down on my own thanks!" She huddled next to Georgina looking mildly curious. "Now could you tell me why on earth we're hiding on the floor behind a big ugly goblin thing?"

"Shut up, you'll see in a minute!" He took hold of her arm and pulled her closer so that none of them could be seen. Georgina and Robin exchanged confused glances but kept quiet all the same.

They didn't have to wait long for what they were waiting for. James ran up the corridor, ran straight past the goblin hissing, "They're coming!" and disappeared behind a suit of armour across the corridor.

"Who's coming?" Robin whispered, glaring at Alan. Georgina looked around excitedly.

"You'll see, but when I tell you to move, move, ok?" he hissed back.

"Why?" Georgina turned to look at him.

"You'll see!" Alan grinned.

"I don't like the sound of this!" Robin muttered.

A few seconds later Snape came marching up the corridor with his wand gripped in his hand. He spun to face his office door and muttered some Latin words into his wand. The door sprung open and he strode inside it.

James stood up from behind the suit of armour and ran up to the door nodding at Alan who got out a book from inside his robes. Robin stared up at her brother in deep confusion.

James banged on the door loudly and ran back down the corridor screaming, "Snape is an ugly git!"

The door slammed open and Snape ran out down the corridor shouting, "Who dares to say that!?"

Alan chucked the book to the door frame stopping the heavy door from locking shut again. "Get up, now!" He hissed and ran up to the door picking up his book and holding the door open.

"No way am I getting in there!" Robin hissed after watching Georgina run inside the door.

"Fine, see you later!" Alan walked in behind Georgina.

Robin heard heavy footsteps coming back down the corridor and grabbed the door before it closed and jumped in behind Alan. "He's coming back!" she shrieked.

Alan's eyes widened and he looked around the office frantically.

"In here!" Georgina opened a large cupboard door pushing aside a big wooden trunk to make space. The three of them managed to squeeze in and they banged the cupboard door shut leaving them in darkness.

"Where are you?" James voice came from out in the corridor. Alan clambered out and yanked the door open letting James run in. The two girls got out of the cupboard slowly, Robin straightening out her messed up hair.

"Why didn't you wait for me, I could have been seen," James said in between gasping for air.

"Robin said she'd seen Snape." Alan looked back at her rolling his eyes.

"I thought I'd heard him." She snapped. "And do you mind telling me what the hell we're doing in here?"

"Well, you know yesterday in potions?" Alan said.

"How could we forget!" Georgina laughed.

"Yeah, well it gave me an idea!"

"Gave us an idea!" James butted in.

"And what might this idea be?" Robin stared at the boys angrily.

"Why do you think Snape got so angry about that terminkle stuff?" Alan raised his eyebrows.

"Because it's expensive?" Robin had no clue what this was leading to.

"Because it's illegal!" James smiled wickedly.

"Terminkle isn't illegal!"

"Yeah terminkle isn't but I was talking to Tabitha and she told me that terminkle is bright purple and liquid. That stuff was black and well thick!" Alan grinned.

"So? How do know what it is?" Robin looked out of the window wishing she was having lunch like normal people.

"Tabitha, duh! She told me, it's peanblighter!"

"How do you know it's illegal?" Robin ran her hands through her hair and tied it back up into a neat ponytail.

"Why else would he use a different name?" Alan walked over to the store cupboard and opened it.

"And Tabitha said it was illegal." James said while helping Alan look along the shelves in the store cupboard.

"What are you looking for?" Robin ran over to them.

"Peanblighter, if we can get it, then it gives us soooo many opportunities!" They laughed menacingly.

"That's if we can find it, where is it?" James stood up and scratched his brow.

"You two are total idiots, you know that?" She blew a strand of black hair from her face impatiently.

"And your point is what?" James carried on looking in the cupboard.

"It'll be in the potions room cupboard."

"Nope, we thought of that, but after me finding it, why would he keep it down there for the world to see?"

"You've really thought this through haven't you!" Despite being outraged at being in Snape's stuffy office when she could be eating she couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

"Guys..." Georgina was standing behind Snape's desk with a grin spread across her face. She was waving a glass jar in the air that had a thick black liquid sloshing around in it.

"Where did you find it?" Alan ran over to her and grabbed it out of her hand.

"He was hiding it in his drawer." She closed the desk draw and walked out from behind the desk. Alan grinned and gave her a hug that took her by surprise.

"Genius!" he laughed. James closed the store cupboard and walked up to Alan grinning.

"Snape!" Robin hissed frantically as she saw a dark shadow at the door.

They all squashed themselves into the cupboard in frenzy and squeezed the door shut. Georgina's face was pressed up against the wooden trunk she pushed aside earlier so she could hardly breathe. James was sitting on Alan, who was squashed up against Robin. As you can imagine, it was a tight fit!

They heard the office door squeak open. Robin could see, out of a crack in the cupboard, Snape lumbering in looking in his usual bad temper. But he was not alone. Professor Winterson followed him in looking very strange indeed!

"You need to loosen up, Severus." She walked over to behind his desk and took off his black cloak so you could see his black velvet robes draped down to the floor. She stood behind him and started massaging his shoulders.

Robin turned to the other three and looked at them disgustedly. They looked back at her blankly because only she could see through the gap in the cupboard.

"Lucinda, not now." He shrugged his shoulders and moved away from her. She grasped his shoulders and turned him around to face him.

"You never have any time for me. Do you know how hard I try?" She glared at him crossly.

"I know, and I'm sorry."

Alan lifted his head up in amazement. Did he just hear Snape say he was sorry?

"Sometimes I wonder why we even bother trying to keep us a secret when there really isn't an 'us' anymore is there?" she snapped.

"Don't be stupid. Just because I'm not in the mood now doesn't mean we're not together."

"Yes, well when are you in the mood?!" She stomped away from him and sat down cross-legged in a chair across the room. There was an awkward silence.

"Where is it?" Snape muttered to himself.

"What?" Professor Winterson looked up.

"There was a jar, a very important jar." He marched over to the potions cupboard and searched it frantically.

"What jar?" she spat at him fiercely.

"A jar!" he shouted, his nostrils flaring. He stormed over to the big cupboard.

Robin squeezed her eyes shut and wondered that if she thought about disappearing hard enough, maybe she would.

He was just about to turn the handle when...

"Fine!" Lucinda shrieked, "fine!" She walked over to Snape, grabbed hold of his arms to face her and slapped him hard across his face.

Robin stared in amazement.

"If you want to care about a bloody stupid jar more than me, then I'm going!" She let go of his arm and stormed out of the room angrily. Snape stared at the cupboard for a moment but ran out after her.

"Lucinda, wait!"



* * * * *


"I cannot believe we did that." Robin was sat in a big comfy chair back in the common room.

"It was great!" Alan smiled to himself. He was sitting on a rug in front of Robin's chair poking a pin with his wand impatiently.

"We're going to be expelled, how is that great!?" she snapped.

"Oh chill out, Robin! How can we possibly get caught?" James stretched back into his arm chair and curled his legs up onto the seat.

"We just will, I know it!" She looked at Alan's pin lying pointlessly on the floor.

He gave up with the pin and looked up Robin's tense face. "So what if we get caught?"

"How can you say that? You wouldn't be so happy explaining to your parents that your coming home after the second day would you?"

"We want Snape to find out." He continued jabbing the pin with his wand.

"Hello? If Snape finds out we were rummaging about in his office, we're dead, never mind if he found out we stole from his office. You're really thick you know that?" She flicked her shiny hair behind her shoulders. Georgina looked up at her from the floor.

"He's right, we can't get in trouble."

Robin looked at her in disbelief. "Not you too!"

"Think about it, Robin. He can't say anything because then we will tell Dumbledore that he left illegal substances around. Then he's sacked like that!" He clicked his fingers and smiled. "Plus, if Snape knows we were in his office then he'll know we know about his little secret affair! What can possibly go wrong?"

"Good plan or what?" James smirked to himself.

"You know, it wasn't just you who thought of it!" Alan continued with his pin, this time it looked like he was going for the stabbing affect as he jabbed the pin harshly.

"Honestly!" Robin snatched the wand out of his hand and turned it into a needle.

"We can't get in trouble, ok?" He grabbed his wand back and put it back in his pocket.

She nodded slowly. "Ok, but I'm still angry. I've waited so long to get here and it kind of freaks me out knowing that, well I could have been expelled."

"You worry too much!" James laughed.

"It's not funny!" she muttered to herself.

"I don't know what you're upset about. If we turn this stuff in, then Snape is history!" Alan smiled.

"Might not be that easy." Georgina raised her eyebrows, "How could you explain finding it without saying we were in his office?"

Alan and James looked at each other.

"So we did all that for nothing?" Robin sat up. "I gambled my whole future for a plan that didn't even work! Great!" she muttered sarcastically.

"Oh would you stop moaning." James snapped.

"Oh shut up. You do realise I had no choice..."

"Yeah yeah, what ever." He looked away from her. "If you haven't got anything interesting to say, don't say anything."

Robin stood up. "I'm going to bed." She glared down at her brother and stormed up the stone steps.

Alan and Georgina turned to look at James.

"What?"

"That was a bit harsh." Alan glanced at Georgina and then back at James. "She was just worried, you know how girls get!"

James smiled as Georgina smacked his arm lightly scowling.

"See!" Alan laughed.

"So what exactly are you going to do?" She looked at Alan

"What do you mean?"

"The potion, why did you want it anyway?" She tried to flatten out her fuzzy waves but gave up straight away.

"What can't we do?" Alan smiled.

Georgina looked at him quizzically.

"Just think about it." He raised his eyebrows. "We could leave him a little threatening note saying that we know his little secret and that if he doesn't start dishing out a few points for Gryffindor. we will seriously consider slipping a few words to a certain Ministry of Magic!"

She smiled. "That is so brilliant!"

"I know!"

"Well try and convince Robin that it's brilliant," James yawned.

"She'll come round!"
