~a little spice to keep the story interesting~

Skip to first night at hogwarts. The start of term feast

"I swear if this sorting doesn't hurry up I'm going down to the kitchens myself and getting food." Ron said and put his head on the table

"Be patient, Ronald" Hermione scolded

"But whyyyy?" Ron whined. Harry and I suppressed laughs.

About four minutes later the sorting ended and the feast began.

"Bloody hell, it's about time." Ron muttered and started filling his plate

"I'm sure the house-elves worked as fast as they could to prepare the food." said Nearly Headless Nick as he floated up through the table

"House-elves? Here?" Hermione asked

"Yes of course." Said Nick, "Who do you suppose cooks this food and cleans the dormitories?"

"Well do they get paid? Vacations? Sick time?" She questioned

"Pay, vacation, sick time? They don't want that." Nick explained, "They like work."

"But that's barbaric."

"Oi, Hermione, I'm sure they are treated fine. Just eat." Ron said but she pushed her plate away

"Refusing to eat isn't going to free them, 'mione." I said "As Sir Nicholas said, they like working. They don't want to be freed."

"That doesn't make it right."

"Ehhh, it kinda does." Harry said, "They're happy."

"Whatever, I'm not eating tonight." She crossed her arms on the table. The boys simultaneously rolled their eyes

"Bella." I turned around and saw Fred

"Hey, Fred, what's up?" I asked

He leaned in close and whispered in my ear "Meet me in the prefect bathroom at 8 o'clock."

"Why?"

"You'll see when you get there, now won't you, love?" He whispered again "I love you."

"I love you too, Freddie." He kissed my cheek then walked back to where he was sitting with George and Lee

"I heard all of that." Hermione whispered

"All of what?" I asked innocently

"What do you think he has planned?" She asked

"Who?" Harry asked

"Fred-"

"Hermione!" I scolded

"What?"

"What are we talking about?" Ron asked

"Fred told Bella to meet him in the prefect bathroom at 8."

"Hermione Granger, I will kill you." I threatened

"Don't have too much fun with my brother." Ron said

"Mhmm sure, Ronald." I said

Professor Dumbledore stood up and started speaking

"It is also my painful duty to inform you that the Inter-House Quidditch Cup will not take place this year."

"What?" Harry gasped. He looked around at Fred and George, his fellow members of the Quidditch team. They were mouthing soundlessly at Dumbledore, apparently too appalled to speak. Dumbledore went on, "This is due to an event that will be starting in October, and continuing throughout the school year, taking up much of the teachers' time and energy — but I am sure you will all enjoy it immensely. I have great pleasure in announcing that this year at Hogwarts —"
