Bound To You

Chapter 18: Just Give Me A Hint!

Harry had not had the chance to talk to Tom after meeting with Snape. He'd been either surrounded by paperwork (assignments, essays, and all those other things that look suspiciously like love letters from his muggle school, but he didn't know for sure) or he was surrounded by students, mostly female students. It seemed like every single female student has turned into another Hermione when in Tom's presence, and while odd and frustrating, he couldn't blame them for wanting to get more knowledge from his Tom.

But they were hogging all of his free time, and he was getting more and more frustrated and dejected the more he couldn't get any one-on-one time with him. Furthermore, Fred and George were suspiciously absent from breakfast today, and he didn't like what it entails. After a few minutes of pushing food around on his plate, he mumbled an excuse so that he could get to Herbology faster. Neville, after finishing his breakfast with pumpkin juice, tagged along with him.

"Hey, Harry, why do you look so sad?" he asked once they were outside the Great Hall.

"Nothing," he pouted. Then a thought came to him, Snape had only suggested that he ask Tom, but that doesn't mean that other people didn't know... right? That's a thought... "Hey, Nev--"

Harry stopped abruptly when he noticed his friend, his guy friend, now had shoulder-length hair. Furthermore, he looked... almost looked like... a... girl....?

"What is it Harry?"

"Umm..." he tried to find the words to convey his confusion. "You... erm... you're...."

"Harry!" Both Harry and Neville jumped in surprise when Harry was squished between two redheads, who looked similar to Ginny, but older--the same long, bright red hair, soft face with a mischievous smile, and--noticeably huge and soft chests in which he was pressed against.

"F-F-Fred??? George?!" Neville exclaimed, surprised.

"Nopes!"

"We're-"

"Frederica and-"

"Georgina!"

"At your service," the former boys bowed low, and with the top three buttons of their shirts open, showed off their cleavage.

"You're a--"

"You're girls?!" Harry asked with surprise clearly evident in his voice.

"Yep!" they chorused happily. "And seems like you too, Nev," Fred teased, and George cooed at the ex-male. Well, the other ex-male.

"You're cute too!" George winked at him--her? Now it was getting confusing for Harry. Then there was a shrilly scream from somewhere inside the castle, possibly the Great Hall, because following the scream were more of them.

"This is a prank, isn't it," Harry deadpanned.

"Of course it is!"

"From yours truly..."

"And Snape too, of course!" they ended together, smiling in glee at their dumbfounded faces.

"Snape?!" the two younger Gryffindors said together.

"The same greasy dungeons bat--"

"--who is not so greasy now, but--"

"--still hated potions professor???"

Fred smiled that mischievous smile and stage-whispered at his--her???--brother--sister???--twin, "Look, Georgina, they're dumbstruck that it's so cute!"

"I agree, Ricka," George winked at her. Then, they heard the same shrilly scream they heard from the Great Hall, and along with it, another redhead with a murderous expression on his... her face.
