Minerva knew the people who had stayed back in Potter Castle. So, she gifted the residents who had graduated, clothing and accessories, and books on Transfiguration for the students.

She was shocked when she saw the level of magic performed by the Weasley twins and ordered many of their prank products much to Molly's dismay. The Weasley matriarch still didn't approve of the joke shop, but couldn't do anything as the twin boys had already come of age.

Everyone dispersed to the dining room to have lunch, after which, most of the crowd, except for the children, left for their respective homes.

Harry and Ginny went around the castle searching for mistletoe. They found it in Harry's room near the closet. They kissed, or rather snogged, for a good 15 minutes before going to find the twins to put forth their plans of getting Ron and Hermione into a relationship.

They found the twins talking to Bill, Charlie and Tonks about the pranks they had played till now in school. "Fred and George, could you come over for a second?" asked Harry. "What is it, Har?" asked George. "It's about getting two stubborn mules together." Answered Ginny, this time. "And who's that?" asked Charlie suspiciously. "Ron and Hermione." They answered together.

"Oooh! I'm joining in too. I too have a hunch that they like each other." Said an excited Tonks. "Yeah! My dear brother does have an awesome choice of girl, I dare say." Said Bill, with a malicious glee on his face. "Yeah. That's why we're asking for help. Help me come up with a plan to fix mistletoe somewhere."

"Okay. Why don't we fix mistletoe in front of the library? Harry, you ask Ron to bring an inkwell that you left in the library. Gin, you do the same with Hermione. Once Charlie, Dora and I fix the mistletoe on the door frame, we'll tell you two. You can then send them." Said Bill, as he looked around the small group for approval.

"That's brilliant, Bill. Now, where do we find mistletoe?" asked Tonks/Dora. "Well, a certain someone, certain people, rather, fixed it up in front of my closet in my room." Said Harry, as he looked at Dora, whose hair had gone red. He knew that it would be Dora, Remus and Sirius who had fixed it there.

"That's good, then. We'll use that and fix it up on the door frame. Harry, Ginny, do your work. Get them there. Come on, you two lovebirds." Said Bill while dragging his brother and future sister – in – law towards Harry's room.
