As the carriages carried them toward Hogsmeade, Maggie and Lee couldn't help but share the occasional giggle, their laughter still bubbling up from their recent escapade. Meanwhile, Fred and George sit in stony silence, rolling their eyes at their friends' playful mockery.
"What if you put our name in Mags?" George asks.
"Why would I actively want to decrease my chances of being chosen?" Maggie shakes her head.
"You don't need the money surely?" George asks.
Maggie and Fred share a look that goes unnoticed by Lee but not George. The boy gives the pair a suspicious look and his eyes widen when Fred gently squeezes Maggie's hand. He keeps his mouth shut, intent on grilling Fred later.
When they arrive at Hogsmeade, Fred hops from the carriage before extending his hand to Maggie who takes it, allowing Fred to help her climb from the carriage. The boy smiles at her, offering her his arm which she accepts as they begin to walk.
"Is there something going on between them?" Lee murmurs to George.
"No idea," The boy mutters back. "But Fred is definitely punching if there is"
"In the Slytherin Common Room, her ranking has changed," Lee murmurs. "I overheard Flint talking about it with Montague"
"Ranking?" George asks.
"Yeah there's a board that ranks the hottest girls at Hogwarts," Lee mutters. "It's disgusting, quite a few people we know are on there"
"So what does it say for Maggie?"
"Maggie is pure-blooded, damaged so an easier lay, takes drugs so they reckon if someone gave her a fix she'd sleep with them, great rack," Lee shakes his head. "Also, Granger's on it"
"Granger?" George asks, a frown on his face as he thinks of the witch whom he and Fred love to tease but would defend with their lives. "What does it say for her?"
"Hot now her buckteeth are fixed, extra points if they shag the prude but minus two because you'll get your dick dirty,"
George looks at Maggie who's eyes are sparkling as she laughs at something Fred had said. His twin was smiling down at the girl, an emotion shining in his eyes that George didn't recognise. He watches as Maggie replies to whatever Fred has said which causes his twin to laugh loudly.
"They really make each other happy, huh?" Lee asks.
"Yeah,"

Zonko's was almost overflowing with students from all three schools when the quartet entered the shop. Fred stays close to Maggie's side, pointing out different products and what they do. The witch was listening to his every word, examining each product as she explained to Fred the magic and mechanisms behind the objects.
"They'd be so easy to modify," Maggie murmurs, dodging a fanged frisbee that flies by. "A bit of tinkering with the mechanisms and the triggers and you'd have an entirely new product"
Maggie picks up a nose-biting tea cup and traces her finger around the rim. When she hits a specific point, the teeth appear and Maggie is quick to grab the handle as the teeth snap at her.
"Zonko's is flawed in the way of you can find the trigger," Maggie murmurs. "But if you were to enchant it so it could tell the difference between a finger and someone's lips-"
"When we open a joke shop I'm going to hire you as an inventor," Fred states.
"My grandfather would have a stroke," Maggie smiles at Fred. "So I'll definitely accept the job offer"
"I spoke to my mum," Fred says. "Didn't tell her much, just that you wanted to live somewhere else but you don't have anything concrete in place. She said you can stay for as long as you need"
"It won't be long," Maggie shakes her head. "Besides, if I invest in your business, I could stay in the apartment above"
"Invest?"
"Produce a foundation for a business plan, including market and competitive analysis, products and customer segmentation," Maggie shrugs. "I'll give it a look over, propose changes and ideas. Once I'm happy with it, I'll invest. I have a separate bank account and now that I'm seventeen, I have full access to the McKinnon vaults, considering all of them are dead, I have quite a bit of money to my name"
"You'd really do that?"
"I told you, I want you to prove me right. I'll just give you the jump start to do so,"
