George walked nonchalantly in direction of the door. He smiled to the people he was seeing, nodding as a greeting. He wasn't caring of the odd looks he was given, although he knew he was looking oddly. It wasn't because he was alone, though it did was weird. It wasn't also because he dyed his hair neon green, it happened only once and it was for transfiguration. He wasn't walking naked in the corridors, he could see his clothes on hismelf if he was looking at his body. No the reason why people stared at the red haired boy was because of the box he was holding in his hands. No one could see what it was. Of course, he knew perfectly what it was... He filled it!
No teacher stopped him to ask what was in the bnox. Probably because he didn't find any to stop him as he headed towards the giant entrance doors of the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Without pausing to find where to go, he headed east. He knew perfectly where he was going. He was walking in direction of a lone tree. A tree that looked like any other, with a trunk and leaves at its branches. But it was no ordinary tree. It was called the whomping willow. And that was George's destination.
He stopped a few feet away from the tree. He noticed the movement. But he didn't care. The tree was moving, everyone knew that, he wouldn't start panicking because of it. He put the box at his feet and as if it was the most natural thing to do, opened it. No one was looking but he was caring if anyone would. In his box was a treasure: slytherin first years' robes. Some gryffindor, ravenclaws and hufflepuffs too but mostly slytherins.
He grabbed one and with his wand, made it fly all the way to the whomping willow. It didn't seem to like the treatment but as it moved, it just made the clothe tangled against its branches. George wasn't looking. He had to do it quickly. If a teacher was getting him doing that, what could he say. It was a bet. He had been challenged to do it. Challenged by Fred and Lee of course. Who else? They were probably even watching, from the window of their dorm.
Once done, he burned the box and looked at the decoration he had just put in the whomping willow, nodding in satisfaction.

Ginny was inside the Gryffindor Common room hearing Ron and Hermione arguing on god knows what. In fact she wasn’t listening to a word of they were saying. She only nodded when they asked her things and it started to piss them off. She was only wondering about where Harry was. She hadn’t seen him during the day. Maybe he found his way to avoid the two arguing toddlers, which she thought, was a good idea. “ I’m out of here.” said Ginny though she knew they wouldn’t even listen to her being too busy in their arguing session.
Ginny rolled her eyes thinking about how they were acting made her think about an old couple or something like that. She exited the common room deciding it would be a good thing to go outside and breathe fresh air. Who knows maybe she could find something interesting to do ; much more interesting than hearing Hermione and Ron’s yelling for sure. She pushed walked down the moving stairs and made her way to the entrance door.
Pushing the big door, she exited the school and scanned the courtyard hoping to see Harry or some of her friends. It was clearly a failure since none of them were here. How boring! Non the less , she decided to walk around and something , very strange but not at the same time caught her attention. A red haired boy in front of a Whomping Willow covered of Sorcerer’s robes. Strange enough you would say but not that strange if you think it’s the result of a Weasley twin. She knew very well who was this twin ; it was George.
She had a sixth sense or something like that to guess which twin was Fred or George. A smirk played on her lips as she saw he didn’t notice her yet. Ah, a good thing to scare him. She giggled and approached slowly the lion, making sure she wouldn’t make any noise and witout advertising him, jumped on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck “ GEORGY!” she said loudly trying not to laugh at his reaction.

Yep, that was good work. Very good work. He was proud of himself. And in the same time, he was imagining all thsoe poor first years looking around for their stuff and not able to find it. They wouldn't understand what happened to them. He knew this trick was clearly signed Fred and George Weasley. Who else would bother throwing wizard robes on the whomping willow? But he didn't care. It was his last year, better leave with panache!
He was about to turn around to see if anyone was already looking at his masterpiece when someone caught him. Not a teacher of course. Which teacher would jump on his back? And, more imporant, which teacher was weighing such a low weight? Besidesa Flitwick that is. But Flitwick was not that tall. The answer of who it was was given in the form of a voice. A female one using a strange nickname to call him. Georgie? Wasn't it sounding baby-like? Only three women ever called him like that.
First his mother. but she was heavier, taller and what on earth would she be doing at Hogwarts and more important on his back? Second, Alina. But again, taller and with a more melodious voice. No it was only number three: dear old Ginny!
He raised an eyebrow and turned his head. He couldn't see her but at least his voice would be carried to her better that way. "What are you attempting to do Gin?" he asked. He grabbed her legs to help her stay against his back without too much difficulty.
He wasn't mad. Why would he be mad? But it was curious. Especially from his little sister. He waited for her to answer him.

Ginny couldn’t help but laughed. It was always good to spend some times with her brother- when they weren’t arguing with someone else that is. It would have been fun to spend time with Ron but then again he was busy arguing with Hermione. How boring it was! At least George was there to save her from boredness. Which she was happy to see.
She smirked and kept a hand wrapped around her neck and the other ruffled his hair. She stopped when he questioned her. What she was trying to do? It was a good question. She gave him innocent eyes even thought he couldn’t see them since he was busy carrying her on his back and said teasingly. “To spoil your reputation at Hogwarts with this nick name?” Of course it wasn’t true and after saying this she giggled and wrapped her hand that was on the top of his head back around his neck where it belonged.
“I thought it would be more fun to jump on your back than to listen Hermione and Ron having an other arguing session.” she told him with a sigh as she rested her head on his shoulder in a comfortable way.

Wow another girl resting her head against him and getting comfortable. Was he recycling himself into a chair? Though the fact the second girl was his little sister wasn't as glamourous and flirtatious that it could look at first...
He chuckled when she teased him. He heard that fake innocent tone. He knew where she learned it: from them of course! It was always their first trick if they were getting scolded. And since it was most of the time not working, they were next messing up with their mother's head calling themselves with the other one's name before returning to their real one.
"What makes you think I'm Georgie first?" he said with a smirk. He was always trying this one. Even on those who was taking away all the fun by finding out.
He then nodded. Ah, so he was her medicine against boredom... Well, that was his job wasn't it? "Ah these two. Imagine when they will get married." he said. He heard them arguing already. For nothing at all! It was reminding him how their mother was acting when their father was talking of muggle stuff, or bringing a new one at home.

Ginny always liked to spend time with the twins. They were so much fun to hang around with! That’s why she was glad she had the idea to go outside. She stared at the tree for a moment, an eyebrow risen guessing she would have an answer of why he did that later.
She chuckled silently at his question. “ You know you can’t fool me around with Fred with that, I have developed a sixth sense to know which twin is who.” she answered. She laughed and nodded agreeing with George on his last comment. “ I know! Besides it’s too obvious they fancy each other.” she said shaking her head slightly.
She then looked up at the tree again now being too curious and wanting to know the reason of this… “ Georgie, why did you put those sorcerer’s robes in this tree?” she asked with a childish voice tone.

George sighed. he lowered his head in a chuckle. Oh yeah, a sixth sense? Well, he knew even their mother knew which twin it was. She just gave up bothering. Good idea since they never gave up calling each other by the other one's name.
He raised his head suddenly, not even listening to Ginny anymore. Hey, they haven't done that to Umbridge yet! How irrespectuous of them for not doing that trick they did on every teacher they ever had! In his mind, he promised himself to tell Fred about it.
Lost in his thoughts, he didn't hear her comment about Ronnikins and Hermione. But it wasn't that important. He was agreeing, like about anyone who had eyes to see and ears to listen to them. Well, for the ears, you might just lose them after having them yelling next to you...
Then the question was said. And he heard it. He shook his thoughts off and turned his head in direction of his sister. "What? Don't you think the whomping willow looks better that way?" he asked her with a fake innocent tone.

Ginny laughed seeing the way the robes were placed. It was true it looked much better than usual. Even though she wouldn’t dare to approach this tree, not wanting to be murdered and see on her grave- killed by a tree. This would just be…odd. She shoved her thoughts aside and nodded her head one time, agreeing with him.
“ Hum, yeah I guess… but where did you get all those robes? I see many Slytherin ones.” she commented seeing green on most of them and only a few from the other houses. She then arched an eyebrow thinking it might be a dare… after all he did most of his prank with Fred somewhere. “ Where’s Fred? Was it kind of a dare or something?” she then asked him curiously. “ I would suggest us to leave the tree instead a teacher decides to come…”

He opened his mouth about to answer to her question about the robes. but he didn't say a syllable that Ginny was already talking of something else. About Fred and questioning if it was a dare. he smiled about to answer that one instead but again, she said something before he could even speak.
He laughed. "Hey one question at a time!" he told her. He helped her go down of his back. Not that he hated it, but he was growing bored of it and if he had to talk to her, better doing it face to face. "First, the robes. I stole them what do you think. Thanks to a friend of mine." he said with a smirk. A friend of mine. The way he was talking of Peeves. Ginny wouldn't know. But he didn't care. She didn't need to knwo all the details. "And no Fred is not around. But he can see you."
He pointed at the tower, or more like the many windows there. The gryffindor tower. Sure Ginny would notice and get his point. Fred was watching from their dorm. That was also answering the dare question. Well not really, but if Fred couldn,t come here and help, there was certainly a good reason and since he was on his deathbed, it had to be a dare of some sort.
"And for the teachers, do you see any around?" he asked looking around them. A few students, yes, but teachers no. He returned his gaze to his sister and shrugged. "Besides, what proves do they have I did it?" he said with a smirk. If they were coming after it happened who could tell he hadn't arrived and saw it like this? Likely impossible from him, but you cannot accuse someone only on feelings and intuition, you need evidences!

Ginny was about to ask other questions to George but he stopped her before she could continue and realised she was asking a thousand of questions just like a police or something like that. She laughed at herself and smirked at George as he told her to ask only one question at a time. “ What? I’m only showing I’m interested in what you do.” she told him innocently.
Oh right the fact that he had stolen the robes was quite obvious. Okay it was a stupid question to ask. She crossed that in her list. A friend of his? Who might that be? He surely wasn’t friend with any Slytherin… was this Lee? Probably not she didn’t see him going in the Slytherin’s common room and stealing those robes and from the others as well. She gave him a curious expression but didn’t ask for more figuring it would be for a good sake.
Once George told her that Fred could see them she grinned and waved at the tower. “ Maybe he’ll see that.” she said jokingly. “ Ah so it’s a dare… I don’t think I’ll dare to try and play truth or dare with you two…” she added chuckling and thinking about which dares they could came out with.
“Oh right, I don’t see any teachers…” she looked around as well and saw no proof of the fact that it might be him who did that. “ You thought about everything.” she said smiling and tilting her head as she looked at him. After all he did put her back down so they could have a decent chat.

George smirked when Ginny said she wouldn't dare to play truth or dare with them. It was maybe for the best. The stupid thing they could ask sometimes. She was better not to hear it. Or see what they were doing. Because throwing robes on the whomping willow was not the worst they came up to.
He raised an eyrbow at Ginny's comment. "I'm a professional." he said. He almost sounded offended by what she said. Of course he planned everything. He managed to get robes thanks to Peeves and a few house elves. Again thanks to Peeves who cause mayhem he managed to go outside without any professor to spot him. And once outside, he knew no one would notice him. Hagrid wouldn't look in his direction, why would he? So no evidence of the crime. Plus he burned the box. OK, if someone told a teacher he had a box in hand he couldn't tell where it is. Well yes he could say he burned it. But anyway it wasn't in his intention to lie. he didn't care anymore. He was in his last year there wasn,t much more they could do to him. Especially for just swinging robes on the whomping willow!

Ginny smirked noticing that he sound offended by her saying. Of course she did this only to tease him. It was fun to tease older brothers! Well they did tease her as well so there was nothing wrong in this. Beside they were never mean towards each other. “ Yeah I know that .” she said with a laugh. She then looked around then back at George.
“Feel like doing something or little Freddy will be angry at me because I steal his twin brother?” she asked him innocently while running a hand through her hair to replace them. She gave him a smile, hoping he would say yes. At least they would be able to find something to do... and he'd be able to entertain her. Which she hoped he would do.

He raised an eyebrow at the mention of Fred's nickname. Little Freddy... And she said that... Her who was like half of his height...well maybe not the half but that was not the point. The point was that she called him Little Freddy! He was surprised by it he couldn't tell if he should whether laugh or reply at it.
He finally decided top laugh and shrug. "If someone should punish you for stealing a bit of my time, it's me. And I don't care honestly if you follow me or not. But aren't you usually hanging out with your friends, or that guy. What's his name... Dean?" he told her. He knew it was kind of teasing. His smirk showed it. But since his sister never really joined him nor Fred while they were wandering around having fun, it was a bit surprising to hear her asking him to pass some time with her and do something.
he clapped in his hands. "So, you're up to what?" he asked so he could put the limit. And, of course, go above them.

Ginny chuckled and gave George a bright smile. She felt like spending some good time with her brother. It was not every days she could do so. Besides, it was always entertaining to be around Fred or George or with both of them!
She then gave a glare as George talked about Dean. “ Who said we were dating anyways? It’s not like if I was with him most of the time, anyways those things are none of your business Mr. Weasley.” she replied crossing her arms over her chest knowing that he was teasing her. “ Is that a crime if I want to spend some time with one of my brothers?” she then asked giving him an innocent look.
Her arms were falling back on her sides as he wanted to spend some time with her. Good thing. “ Hummm, I don’t know, what fun could we have around here?” she aksed him since she knew he knew more stuff around the school than she did… after all he was older than her and had spent more time in Hogwarts than she did.

George still looked at his sister suspiciously. He finally sighed and lowered his head, shaking it. "Truth always hurts." he said. Of course he meant he was the one right and her defensive tone was because she was shock he told the truth like that.
He then held his chin, scratching it. "Mr. Weasley... Sounds too old. Sounds like dad." he said. Mr. Weasley. That was what he was. That was how his professors called him. But he still felt from Ginny's mouth, it sounded old. Too old for him who was probably younger than Ginny in the head.
He smirked as she asked what there was to do. There was so much things to do! But he bet illegal stuff would be out of the question. Sad because it was putting off all of the fun. He looked around. Forbidden forest? Too dangerous for the funniest part and boring for those he could bring her, he knew it quite enough.
Suddenly getting inspired, he took out his wand and make a small firework come out of it. He played with it making it bounce like a ball. "Ready?" he told her before making a few figures and sending it in her direction. he jsut hoped she wouldn,t try to grab it with her hand, that would be stupid.
