Chapter 1: The Lie

Ginny thought there was something wrong with the twins' behavior. Fred had started dating Angelina Johnson and George seemed to be getting distance and sending more time with Katie Bell. Fred seemed jealous even though he was with Angelina. Ginny thought that this was all very weird.

Where the twins up to something? Was there something in store for both girls? Or where they just lying to themselves? Ginny intended to find out. At all costs.

"George! Fred!" she called walking down to common room.

"What baby sister?" Fred asked not looking up.

"Cut the crap! Who do you like?" she asked sitting down.

"Angelina of course we are dating," Fred said without looking at Ginny.

"No one," George said.

"Then why are you spending a lot of time with Katie?" she asked.

Fred's ears went red which wasn't a good sign. "Oh. . . .Um. . . . . . . . She wanted me to help her with homework," George said pulling at his shirt collar.

Ginny snorted. "Right you do homework?" she said. "What next? The sky falling?"

"It's none of your business Gin," George said looking away from her.

"Fine," she said. One thing was for sure Ginny was going to find out what was going on. One way or the other.


Later that night Ginny snuck out after hours and into Snape's office. She looked around the room for the small bottle. Finally she spotted it on top of the very last shelf. Making a grab for it, she snatched the bottle and walked out of the room.


The next morning at breakfast Ginny filled Fred and George's cups up with pumpkin juice that had the potion she had nicked last night in it. She waited for Fred and George to come down into the hall. They got there 20 minutes late as usual. "Here you two go," Ginny said pushing them their juice.

"What's the catch baby sister?" Fred asked.

"Yeah you never do anything for us unless you want something," George accused.

"Is this poisoned?!" Fred exclaimed.

"You trying to kill us?!" George said eyes wide.

"Dudes relax," Katie said looking up from her Daily Profit. "Just cause your sister does something nice doesn't mean you have to be all rude about it."

"If you say so," Fred said taking a sip. "Not bad."

George to a sip too. "Not bad at all baby sister," George said.

"When are your birthdays?" Ginny asked.

"April 1st," they both said at the same time. Katie looked up from her paper for a moment then looked back down. Ginny just laughed.

Just then Angelina walked over and sat down next to Fred. "Hey," she smiled. "How was your morning?" She kissed him before he could answer.

"Awful," Fred said. "And you could work on your kissing skills."

Angelina's mouth dropped open. Fred's hand flue to his mouth. Katie dropped her paper. "Fred!" Katie exclaimed. "Don't say stuff like that!"

"Well if you don't like the way I kiss then maybe we should break up!" Angelina yelled.

"No! Ange wait!" Fred said. "I'm sorry."

Angelina eyed him for a moment then turned to her food.

"Hey Fred George who do you have a crush on?" Ginny asked.

"Katie Bell," Fred said.

"Angelina Johnson," George said.

Katie choked on her drink and started coughing. Angelina looked appalled at both twins. Fred's eyes widen and he looked between the two girls waiting for something to happen. George just sunk down in his seat.

As soon as Katie regained her composer she grabbed her books and practically ran from the room. "Katie!" Fred called after her. "Katie! Wait!"

"Oh no you don't!" Angelina said grabbing the back of his shirt. "Do you want to even try and explain?!"

"Um . . . . . you see I didn't mean for this to happen," Fred said.

"Ok I have heard enough," Angelina said. "If you liked Katie why didn't you just tell me? Well we are over that's for sure. What I saw in you I will never know. Oh and I don't want to hear from either of you 'til you get this sorted out!" Angelina stormed out of the Great Hall after Katie.

"This is what happens when you lie to your sister," Ginny said holding up the veritaserum bottle.

"You put that in our drinks!" Fred and George said at the same time.

"Yes I did," Ginny said. "It was rather easy."

"Why?!" George said.

"Like I said don't lie to me!" Ginny said.

"You just broke me up with my girlfriend and my best friend!" Fred said. "And all in one day!"

"A lie is a lie," Ginny said. "So if you had told me the truth before this wouldn't be happening."

"Wait a minute!" Fred said rounding on George. "You like Angelina?!"

"Uh. . . . . . ." George said.

"When I was dating her?!" Fred yelled.

"Well when you put it like that it does sound kind of bad," George said.

"My girlfriend!"

"Well look on the bright side she's not your girlfriend anymore and you can date Katie."

"Oh and you can go running into her arms with my consent?!"

"I didn't say that."

"Well you might as well have!" Fred shouted. "Don't talk to me!" He stormed out of the Great Hall and out of sight.

George laid his head on the table with a bang. "What am I going to do Ginny?" he asked.

"No lie to me again?" Ginny suggested.

"I'm sorry ok?" he said. "Now will you tell me what to do?"

"Ok sure," Ginny said. "Go get your girl."

"What about my brother?" George asked.

"It's Fred. He will come around," Ginny told him.

"You sure?"

"No, but it's worth a shot. Besides in a few days he will be wrapped around Katie and will have forgotten all about Angelina."

"You think so?" George asked.

"Yes," Ginny said. "Like I said it's Fred. He moves on fast."

"What if he moves on fast from me?!" George asked.

"I meant with girls!" Ginny said. "You are so clueless sometimes."

"Oh yeah right," George said. One thing was for sure though, George was definitely going to need her help. Ginny decided that she was going to help both twins even if the didn't know about. As for Angelina and Katie, well, that was a different story.
