Emily Granger, older sister of Hermione, had a firm set friendship with the Weasley Twins and Lee Jordan since first year and was notorious throughout the school for their pranks.
Once their fifth year comes around the corner, Emily decides she can...
"Up! Up! Up!" I groaned, burying my head on Fred's chest as I tried to ignore George's attempts to wake Lee up, a tired laugh escaping me at my boyfriends' annoyed groan. "Shut up, Georgie" he croaked, waving his hand, "It's too fuckin early" "We have to get up" he repeated, pushing Lee out of bed, "gotta be downstairs in twenty minutes" "You're joking" I deadpanned, sitting up. He pointed at the clock in the corner of the room, "No look" "Fuck" I tumbled out of bed, rushing over to the clothes I had laid out the day before, chucking the rolled up socks at Fred's head. "Get up in the next five seconds or I'm not kissing you for a week" An offended squawk came from our bed, Fred falling out a few seconds later. "You're evil" "But you love me" We rushed out the room in record timing, clothes haphazardly on and trunks floating ahead of us. "Did you remember the bag?" Lee asked, causing George to turn around with a frown, "I thought you had it" "Bugger" I gasped, watching as George's trunk bashed into Ginny's back, sending her flying down the last two flights of stairs. At once, Mrs Weasley and Mrs Black's voices rang out. "— COULD HAVE DONE HER A SERIOUS INJURY, YOU IDIOTS —" "— FILTHY HALF-BREEDS, BESMIRCHING THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS —" Lee just blinked slowly, backing up, "I'll go and get the bag" "Yeah, good idea" I said, "I think I'll come with you"
"You five are going with Lupin" Mrs Weasley said, waving us over in his direction before focusing back on the others. "Our favourite Professor" I grinned, laughing at his amused sigh. "How are we getting there?" Ginny asked, readjusting her grip on her trunk. "Walking, of course" he replied, "It's not far from the hou-" Mrs Weasley's voice cut him off, "Oh, for heaven's sake, Sirius, Dumbledore said no!" "Never did follow the rules well" Lupin huffed, a fond smile on his face at the sight of Sirius' animagus form staring Molly down. "Oh honestly... on your own head be it!" Lee snorted at the sight of the giant dog following the group out of the house. "Wish I could do that" Fred said, nudging me, "imagine all the pranks we could do and not get caught" An awkward laugh escaped my throat before I could stop it, "yeah, that would - that would be good" Taking pity on me, Remus cleared his throat, "everyone have their things? Good. Let's get going"
Fred's hand in mine, we walked through the London streets. Remus stood up front, vigilant, while the five of us followed behind him. "Muggle London is actually quite pretty" Fred said, looking around at the buildings around us with barely restrained awe. "Well, this is the posh part, but yeah. It can be pretty sometimes" I replied, smiling. "I still don't know how they do it all without mag-" he cut off tripping on a loose pavement slab, immediately looking around to see if anyone else had seen it.

I burst out laughing, George joining me. "No hiding from that one" Lee said, sniggering. Ginny just snorted, "You're such a klutz", before turning back around. "Well, at least Lupin didn't -" "Oh I saw. I think even that old lady did" "Shit"
With four minutes to spare, we walked through the barrier to platform 9 and 3/4. "No trouble?" growled Moody. "Nothing," Lupin replied, a small smirk on his face, "unless you count Fred's incredible lack of balance" "I tripped!" "Sure you did" Ginny laughed, walking past us to her parents. "I'll still be reporting Sturgis to Dumbledore," said Moody, ignoring them, "That's the second time he's not turned up in a week. Getting as unreliable as Mundungus." "Well, look after yourselves," said Lupin, shaking hands all round. He reached Harry last and gave him a clap on the shoulder. "You too, Harry. Be careful." "Yeah, keep your head down and your eyes peeled," said Moody, "And don't forget, all of you — careful what you put in writing. If in doubt, don't put it in a letter at all." Walking over to Padfoot, I knelt down and opened my arms for a hug. "I'll write you as often as I can" I murmured into his fur, "that's a promise" Sirius barked in response, nudging me gently with his head before running back over to Harry. "It's been great meeting all of you," said Tonks, hugging Hermione and Ginny. "We'll see you soon, I expect." "We'll miss you!" George exclaimed, pulling Tonks into a group hug. "Yeah, you're our favourite metamorphagus!" Lee added. "You guys are sweet" she laughed, squeezing us tighter, "I'll miss you all too" "Not more than me!" I insisted. Fred frowned, "No I'll miss her more" A warning whistle sounded; the students still on the platform started hurrying onto the train. "Quick, quick," said Mrs. Weasley distractedly, hugging us at random. "Write. . . . Be good. . . . If you've forgotten anything we'll send it on. . . . Onto the train, now, hurry. . . ." "Love you Molly" I called, throwing her a kiss as I jumped on to the train. "Be good!" "We won't!" Fred shouted back, waving as the train began to pull away.
