 -Present 1991 After dinner,Detention-

Ara sighed,After potions the day kinda dragged on,It was rather painful if the teachers weren't boring her to death she was writing idea's for spells.Wand movements,Incantations,What they would do but whenever her friends or teacher asked she just put the book away and said nothing

She knocked on the potions room door and heard a faint"Come in"

Ara opened the door and saw not Severus sitting behind the desk but her godmother Primrose,Wipes her eyes,You could tell by one glance that she had been crying,

"Are you ok Professor"Ara asks as she sits down

Primrose nods slightly"Yes,Yes"She looks up"What's going on Ara?"

"Nothing!"Ara shakes her head

Primrose sighs and shakes her head"Ara,I know your lieing,Are you upset?"

"No"

Primrose sighs and shakes her head"Alright...Then what where you writing earlier?"

"Nothing"Ara shakes her head again,Her hair falls into her face"May I start my Detention now?"

Primrose sighs"Ara sweetie,Please can you just tell me what's going on with you?Severus is just as worried,I had to stuff the calming draught into his mouth"

"Why where you crying?"Ara counters

Primrose face turns into a glare"Ara-"

"I'm just saying if you don't want to answer and either do it..."Ara smiles innocently

Primrose groans and shakes her head"So much like your father"She mumbles to herself then look at the innocently smiling Ara"You can arrange Snape's potions,Alphabetical"She stands up"Then you can clean those cauldurn's on the side,No magic"She walks to Ara with her hand out"Wand"

"But-"

"Please"Primrose gives Ara a stern looking making Ara sigh and pull out her wand from her sleeve and put it in Primrose's hand"Be careful"Ara eyes her wand as her Professor puts it in her pocket

"Yes yes"Primrose nods"Now you start on those potions and I'll be right back,If you finish and I am not here,You will stay put"She walks out,

Ara scratches her head as she walks over the potions shelf and groans as her eyes scan the shelf's,They where everywhere and 'course they where in the wrong place,They just had to be.

She turned around and saw the cauldurns,They all looked burnt and crusty.

She groans again and turns to the shelf she starts to take out the potions and put them on a desk,Trying to read the labels as she set them A B C

"This is going to take forever"Ara scowls to herself"Stupid potions,Stupid Professor,Stupid detention"

"Stupid potions?A voice says from behind her

"That's a first"The same voice says

Ara jumps startled and turns around to see two red haired twins grinning down at her"Oh!Fred,George don't scare me like that!"

Fred grins"We heard you got your first detention-"

"-And Snape gave it to you"George adds in mocking surprise

"-Our little girl is growing up"Fred wipes a imaginary tear from his eye"We came to help!"

Ara's eyes widen"Don't-"

To late,As Ara opened her mouth Fred and George waved their wands,Ara closes her eyes shut not wanting to see the damage.

No crashes were heard,Which sounded good.But she did hear glass clank together,She opens one eye and see's the potions in alphabetical order and the dirty rusty cauldurn's clean and sparkling

"H-H-How did you do that"Ara gawks at her friends

"We have-"George grins

"-Our ways"Fred winks at Ara

Ara sits down"Now what?I can't leave"

Fred and George sit on each side of her"You can help us with a prank"Fred grins at Ara

"You promised you'd help us cause some havoc"George sings out

Ara grins"Okay!What's planned?"

Fred and George look at eachother with huge evil smirks on their faces
