"So what are you gonna do with the powder?" Fred had loved his gift.
"I have a Weasley Wizard Wheezes product in mind, but I still don't have a name for it."
They sat in the Gryffindor common room, on the small sofa in front of the fire.
"What's the product?"
Fred smiled. He enjoyed how interested Hermione was in his passions.
"It's a powder canister. When you add the powder to any liquid, it makes you wake up."
"Oh, like muggle coffee."
Fred raised his eyebrows.
"But does it taste as sweet as orange juice? Because that's what I'm planning on it to taste like."
"Hmm. No, it tastes rather bitter. Oh, Merlin! We're late for the DA!"
The stood and ran to the room of requirement. They had been using it to practice the Defence Against the Dark Arts because Umbridge was a dreadful teacher. She only taught theory. Harry had been teaching a small group of students. Today, they were going to work on the Patronus Charm.
"Now, think of something happy. Something from your past that makes you the happiest you've ever been. A simple memory won't do. It has to be powerful."
Hermione thought of the necklace around her neck.
"Expecto Patronum!" yelled Hermione. And out of her wand came a silver otter. It spun around her body and flew into the air.
"That's it!" screamed Fred. He ran over to Hermione.
"Otter's Orange Juice. That's what my product will be called." He wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and spun her off the ground.
"Thank you so much Hermione!"
He stood next to her and held her hand tightly as he cast his patronus.
"Expecto Patronum!"
And out came a Hyena. It ran around the room and chased after the Otter. It was a happy day. Hermione hadn't taken the necklace off for anything, even to shower. Fred and George began to produce Weasley's Wizard Wheezes: Otter's Orange Juice; a morning energy supplement.
