I shared a dorm room with Callie, Ginny and Hermione. We went upstairs to get unpacked while talked about Umbridge, the new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher. Honestly her girly pinkness freaked the hell out of me. 

"She looks real... stuck up." Ginny said. Callie nodded in agreement. 

"It doesn't matter what they look like. I bet she's an amazing teacher." Hermione said. I rolled my eyes. I already knew I would hate that Umbridge woman, no doubt. Hermione, Callie and Ginny had decided to go to bed too but I was strangely not tired which might have been the result of all the coffee I drank on my way here. It's ind of an addiction I've been trying to beat with no luck. I began to read Beyond the Beyond which I actually found quite interesting when I heard a knock on the door. I got up and sighed. 

"Hey Gwen." 

"Guys what are you doing here? I thought you went to bed." I said groggily. 

"Just checking up on you and come to think of it, you look kind of of thirsty." George said draping his arm on my shoulder. 

"Yeah. How 'bout some coffee?" Fred said holding out a mug to me. They both had smiles touching their ears. 

"I've had enough coffee for one day trust me." I said sitting in an armchair denying the coffee. 

"But it's the most delicious coffee ever!." George said holding it out to me. 

"Keep it down their asleep and why don't you take a drink then?” I said raising my eyebrows. 

"Fine." he nodded taking a sip. I got close to his neck. 

"What are you going to do? Bite him? Have you been watching Vampire Diaries again?" Fred chuckled. 

"Ha-ha and I'm just making sure his Adam's Apple moves." I said. I saw George tense up and he swallowed. 

"Open your mouth Mr." I said. He did and I saw liquid sitting in his mouth. I quickly cupped my hand over his mouth. 

"You're going to have to swallow sometime. Why don't you want to swallow it George?" I said tauntingly. He gave up and swallowed then started coughing uncontrollably. Fred started laughing insanely, I joined in. 

"Come- on-" George tried to choke something out. 

"Okay. Let's stop his suffering." I said wiping tears from my eyes. I knew George was about to cough his lungs out. 

"Okay." Fred sighed disappointed about ending his fun. He gave George what looked liked a throat lasange and George sucked it down. 

"I can't believe you." he said to me rubbong his throat. 

"What did I do?" I asked defensively. 

"How come you never fall for are tricks?" Fred said for his brother. 

"Well, you guys could do a better job of holding in your excitement! I can't help it." I said. "You guys just aren't good actors." 

"And that is why we have you." Fred said draping his arm on my shoulder. I raised an eyebrow for an explanation. 

"We're the prank masters." George said pointing at himself and Fred. 

"And you're our actress." Fred finished for him. 

"You mean liar." I said. 

"Sounds so negative when you say it." George said with a grin on his face. 

"It's my dream job doing your dirty work." I said getting up. 

"See you guys in the morning." I said shoving them out.

I trotted down the stairs for breakfast to be met by George. 

"My queen!" he said jokingly throwing his arms open wide. 

"My king!" I said sarcastically while running toward him. I jumped into his arms and he caught me then set me down laughing. 

"We should be in a ballet." he said smirking. I noticed his partner in crime wasn't there. 

"Where's Fred?" I asked him. 

"Out sick." George replied simply with a grin on his face. I raised my eyebrows. 

"Okay. Puking Pastills." George said. "Our cure isn't working." 

"You better take him to the hospital wing." Hermione said coming down the stairs. 

"Yeah, Yeah." George said waving his hand in a no worries way. 

"If he's not better tonight we'll take him in." I said. 

"Hey, guys. Quidditch tryouts tonight, 6:00 o’clock.” Harry said. 

"So stay out of trouble, okay?" he said eyeing me and George. Fred, George, and I had been known to get detention on our first days. I used to be the quiet smart girl, but since I started hanging out with the twins I became more rebellious. We did our angel like faces and Harry rolled his eyes. 

"Gwen, I need you to help with the Chaser tryouts. You'll have to be a Beater if Fred isn't better." Harry instructed. 

"Yes, sir." I said saluting him again. He chuckled and walked off with Ron and Hermione off to their first classes. 

"What's first?" I said looking at our schedules. "Looks like... Potions..." George said with a groan.

"Ah, well. At least we'll get it over with." We trudged down to the dungeons and entered the classroom to meet up with Lee and Katie. Me and George sat at the very back and Lee and Katie sat in front of us. Snape glared at us the whole class which seemed like four hours instead of one. We finally got to leave and headed for Defense Against the Dark Arts. 

"Here we go." I muttered as we entered the class. Umbridge was waiting by the door greeting us when we entered. George rolled his eyes as we took our seats at the back of the class. 

"Hem hem. Welcome to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts class." she said walking up to the front of the class. 

"We will be learning through literature and literature only.” She said using magic to pass out books. 

"No magic?" Katie said out loud. 

"You raise your hand in my classroom." Callie raised her hand. 

"Yes?" 

"We're not going to use magic?" Callie asked annoyed. 

"You can learn efficiently without hexing each other." Umbridge said. 

"Now open to chapter twenty four." she instructed. 

"We're skipping twenty three chapters?” Daliah asked with her hand raised. 

"Yes. We will go back and review, but you must first learn what they want you to learn." She answered. 

"Who's they?" George asked raising his hand high. 

"The ministry said what they want you children to learn before graduating and since all of your teachers have been irresponsible, I will have to catch you up on everything they have put off." She said opening her own book. 

"Chapter 24- The Unforgivable Curses" she read out loud. 

"The Unforgivable Curses? Since when are we supposed to learn about those?" I asked George in a whisper. 

"Since are only option of career choice is a Death Eater." We chuckled under our breath and luckily Umbridge didn't hear. 

"Does anyone know why they are given their name?" She asked. 

"If you use any of them you will be sent straight to Azkaban." Luke said. 

"Correct Mr. Willard." She said. 

"Now who can name one of the curses? Mr. Jordan?" She asked walking to Lee. 

"I do remeber one. The Imperious Curse. It's said to control one's actions." Lee said. 

"Very good." She smiled. 

"Miss Marshall?" she asked looking at me. We all knew them. Moody went over it last year, and unfortunately showed us all of them. 

"The Cruciatous Curse. It is said to be pure torture." I said remembering Neville's face the day Moody showed us that one. Fourth years and fifth years shared a class last year. 

"Excellent." She said now walking to Marcus Flint. "Mr. Flint?" 

"The Killing Curse." he said with a twisted smile on his face. Me and George exchanged looks and looked back at Umbridge. 

"Yes. That is right. Now since these curses are banned to perform there is no possible way I can show you them so you will read this chapter tonight and a six page essay reviewing what you have learned." The class let out groans and then we were dismissed. 

"A six page essay! About illegal curses! Is she mad?” I said as we walked to go to lunch. 

"I don't know but there's something about her. I don't like it." Callie said. We nodded in agreement. 

"You guys head on. Me and Gwen need to check on Fred." George said leading me to Gryffindor tower. When we got in the common room we saw Fred laughing as he showed some first years the fake wands. 

"Right. The cure doesn't work." I said crossing my arms eyeing him 

. "Sorry kids. Shop is closed." Fred said putting away the products. The first years looked disappointed but headed on to lunch. 

"It didn't! until half-way through first period, so I decided to take a mental health sick day." Fred said putting his feet up. 

"A mental health sick day. On the first day of school." Hermione said from behind us. 

"If they find out you're skipping classes you could get in serious trouble." She continued. 

"Don't worry. I'll be back tomorrow. Does Harry need me for try-outs?" Fred asked. 

"Yes, but I can handle it. Katie can show them how to be Chasers. I'll help George pelt Bludgers at them." I said putting my arm on George's shoulder. I had always wanted to be a Beater, but the twins beat me as usual. 

"Great." He sighed closing his eyes. "Well, we'll leave the king to himself." George said bowing and I curtseyed and we went for lunch.
