GRACE AND HERMIONE MET Harry and Ron down in the common the next day to head for breakfast. Grace noticed that Harry looked really pissed. 

"What's the matter?" asked Grace catching up to him. "You look absolutely — 

"Oh for heaven's sake." said Hermione. She was staring at the common room notice board, where a large new sign had been put up.

"They are the limit," said Hermione grimly, taking down the sign, which Fred and George had pinned up over a poster giving the date of the first Hogsmeade weekend in October. "We'll have to talk to them, Ron."

Ron looked positively alarmed.

"Why?"

"Because we're prefects!" said Hermione, as they climbed out through the portrait hole. "It's up to us to stop this kind of thing!"

Ron said nothing; Grace could tell from his glum expression that the prospect of stopping Fred and George doing exactly what they liked was not one that he found inviting.

"Anyway, what's up, Harry?" Grace continued, as they walked down a flight of stairs lined with portraits of old witches and wizards, all of whom ignored them, being engrossed in their own conversation. "You look really angry about something."

"Seamus reckons Harry's lying about You-Know-Who," said Ron succinctly, when Harry did not respond.

"Yes, Lavender thinks so too," Grace said gloomily.

"Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I'm a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you?" Harry said loudly.

Grace scoffed, "I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down Ron's, Hermione's and my throats, Harry, because if you haven't noticed, we're on your side."
