RECKLESS FUN | Blaise Zabini | Au

14- FINAL MATCH

"LOOK, ACID POPS." Zoe Black stated all of a sudden, pointing at the barrel which was full of them for her bright red-haired friends.

There were always various delicious smells in Honeydukes which made it even more tempting to buy a lot of sweets from the shop. They were always displayed nicely and it was very hard to not leave the shop with a bag of something from their sweet collection. However, not all of their products were sweet and sugary.

"I gave one of those to Ron when he was young. It burnt a hole to his tongue." Fred told, first he looked amused and then his face fell. "It was fun while it lasted, but when Mum found out she batted me with her broomstick."

Zoe clapped his back comfortingly.

"Wouldn't it... wouldn't it be fun if there was a sweet that would make your tongue enormous, like a snake? Like a sweet to prank people with?" George wondered out loud.

"There isn't?" Zoe questioned thoughtfully. "Wonder why? I mean it could probably just be made simply by using an Engorgement Charm."

All the three faces now appeared thoughtful.

"Engorgio? It's a second-year charm..." Fred continued, pondering his thoughts. "D'you think that it could work?"

"You would just have to make it in a way the sweet itself isn't big but it makes the eater's tongue big." George said, scratching his chin.

They all slowly exchanged looks full of meaning. They all understood each other.

"Looks like it's time for another of ours experiments." Zoe stated excitedly, cracking her neck.

"Yeah." Fred agreed, nodding. "We should ask Professor Flitwick about it hypothetically, of course." he added quickly, winking his eye.

The three paid for their purchases and left Honeydukes quickly. They decided to pay a short visit to Zonko's, before (for the first time ever) making their way back to school early in the spring air. It was sunny, so it wasn't too cold when the wind wasn't blowing. Zoe enjoyed the fact that it would be getting warmer from now on.

When Fred, George and Zoe arrived in the Entrance Hall they saw the castle was quite calm and empty. The younger students who were not old enough to go to Hogsmeade were most likely spending time in their common rooms. Taking the corridor in the direction of the library from the Entrance Hall, the trio ran into Professor McGonagall making her way out of the castle. She stopped in front of them and eyed them rather suspiciously: it must've been odd to see them early from Hogsmeade.

"What are you three troublemakers up to?"

"Oh, we were just heading to the library, Professor." Fred said, flashing an innocent smile.

"The- the library?"

"Exactly." George continued on. "And may I add that Professor looks dashing in that hat."

"Yeah and you should really go outside, the weather is getting better, Professor." Zoe added smiling.

Professor McGonagall looked at the three students standing in front of her, wearing innocent smiles, hoping she wouldn't see the mischievous gleam in their eyes. The Head of Gryffindor House let out an exhale and proceeded to continue her way, slightly shaking her head.

When Professor McGonagall was out of sight they exchanged amused looks.

"Something we said?" George pretended to wonder, raising his brow. Fred and Zoe laughed.

Madam Pince wasn't a fan of Fred, George, Lee and Zoe. To be frank, they knew she didn't like them at all: she saw them as destructive hooligans and a danger to the books in the library of Hogwarts. It wasn't often when their paths crossed to the joy of both parties. It was why when they walked into the library Madam Pince stared at them with wide eyes in horror.
