The Prewett Girl

Capture

It's a good thing my studying and looking at completely random things is a normal thing when I have an idea because that's all I seem to be doing when I'm not in Quidditch or doing school work.

"I don't know how you manage to do this and what even is all this?" Talia asks as she, Nikki, and I sit in the library one day a few days past a month after my promise to Sirius.

"Research." I say absent mindedly.

"No shit." Nikki says, moving some of my papers to give her more room.

"GOT IT!" I say excitedly.

"Got what?"

"I need a test subject."

"Oh no." Both girls say in unison having felt my wrath before in the past. I give them monotone pointed looks.

"Not you two. You wouldn't help. Besides, I could always do it in your sleep if you would." I say, freaking them out. "No, I need to talk to the twins."

"Thank Merlin." They say in unison.

"I love you, Andy, but you're scary sometimes." Nikki says.

"Thank you." I say honestly as I pack everything up. "I'll talk to you two later."

"Good luck." They call after me.

"Mental." Talia mutters but I can hear the amused undertone.

It takes me a bit of time but I eventually find the twins spying on a group of fourth years.

"Do I want to know?" I ask from behind them, making them jump.

"Merlin, woman!" George says, a hand over his heart.

"We need to get you a bell."

"I'll get right on that." I joke. "I need your help."

"A new experiment of yours?" Fred asks.

"Yep and I figured it out I just need a test subject."

"No." They say in unison.

"Why does everyone say that?" I demand bitterly, making their lips twitch. "No, I need you to steal Scabbers for me. Ron would never let me borrow him. This wouldn't hurt him."

"If you did it right." George asks.

"You don't even like the flee bag."

"Good point. You'll have him by tonight." Fred says and George nods his agreement.

"Thank you! Now continue with your plans." I say, nodding to the fourth years. I watch as they prank them.

"Well?" They ask me for a rating.

"A solid six. There are kinks I know you both saw that need to be worked out."

"Very true." George says.

"We're off to get the rat for you."

"I'll be in the Astronomy tower." I say and they nod their heads.

I go into the forest once they're gone and the black dog finds me almost immediately.

"The twins are getting the rat for me. We're meeting in the Astronomy tower. Be ready." I tell him. Sirius barks quietly and wags his tail.

Next I go find Professor Dumbledore. It turns out running through the halls helps. I literally run into him.

"I'm so sorry, professor."

"It's alright, Miss Prewett. No harm is done." He says, smiling at me with the twinkle in his eyes.

"I was looking for you actually."
