Emily walked into Ron and Harry's shared room. She had become friends with Hermione and Harry, only one boy was left. Ron.

"Oh Ronald!" Emily said in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up." was the response which Emily received.

"Wow, not very polite, are you?" she joked, and Ron groaned. He was bent forwards over a piece of parchment scribbles written everywhere. It was just chaotic.

"Is that the homework that Professor Snape sent us for the summer." Ron groaned again. "Need any help?"

"Yeah, I was about to ask Hermione, but she'll probably just say ' Why didn't you do it earlier? You can do it your self you know, you just need to try." Ron said in a high squeaky voice, imitating Hermione.

Emily produced a chair next to the red-headed boy and sat down. "Ok the ingredients for a forgetfulness potion. What are they?"

"Ummm. I forgot." they both snorted at the irony.

"It's fine. They are Lethe River Water, mistletoe berries, and Valerian sprigs." Emily explained the whole process of making the potion, and soon his whole parchment (a new piece) was filled to the brim with Ron's writing.

"Alright. Fun talk. You like Hermione?" Emily looked at Ronald brown eyes.

A small blush crept across his face. "No." Ron said, a little too quickly.

"Hmmmm. Yeah right. And I'm bad at potions." Emily mused.

"If I like Hermione, you like Harry!" Ron exclaimed.

"Fine, you don't like Hermione." Emily sighed. "You coming, dinner's in five minutes."

"Yeah. One sec." he threw rolls of parchment and his quill and ink bottle into the drawer and held out his hand to Emily, "Friends?"

"Friends."

"Kids. Dinner!" Molly shouted from downstairs. It seemed like all of the doors in the house opened and everybody streamed out, heading downstairs towards the kitchen. Emily sat down in the corner, next to fred and George, discussing prank items. "We could make something where you've got to puke." George started. "Puking pastries? Pumpkins? Pinguins?" Fred tried.

"Pastilles. Puking pastilles." Emily said. It went on for the whole of dinner, them just discussing what to name the sweets, and had a cool name for the sick (literally) sweets. Skiving Snack Boxes.

After dinner the trio went upstairs to talk, and Emily took the twins aside, "I was talking to Ronald earlier, and he was being rude to me at the start, soooo, feel like pranking a certain Weasley?" Emily smirked sneakily.

"With pleasure." and the three pranksters crept up the stairs and saw Ron, Harry and Hermione talking about Merlin knows what not. They looked at each other and nodded, before pointing their wands at Ron. Fred turned his hair purple, George his eyes black and his eyebrows pink, and Emily turned his skin scaly and green, like a snake. The pranksters grinned at each other and ran downstairs.

All of a sudden, screams could be heard up stairs. Everybody ran to the room where the trio was, before looking back at the twins and Emily, slowly striding up the stairs. Remus had to admit, they were good. When the pranksters had a look, it was even better than they had hoped. Ron had turned into a bright green snake with black eyes, purple hair and pink eyebrows. Harry was talking with it in parsel tongue.

Remus shared a look with Sirius, who was chuckling. Sirius said "Nice prank, Fred and George. Who's idea was it?" 

"Emily's." they responded.
