It had been four months since Hermione had left for a "Family Emergency", which George now knew was a lie, and Fred had become impossible to deal with. Fred was constantly tense, snapping at people for no reason. George kept him away from most people, claiming his twin just was under the weather, but that excuse was hard to believe after four months. He also had to cast a silencing charm on his twin everynight, thanks to the apparently very happy dreams his brother was having about Hermione. He was getting worse. His skin constantly pale.

George didn't believe this involved a spell from a teenage book. He secretly tested it on a couple of fourth years he knew desired each other and they didn't react like this. This was something else. He had sent an owl to the only person he knew that could keep shit like this on the down low, and had just gotten a reply back.

"George,

I agree with you. I don't believe whatever is going on between Fred and Hermione is due to that book. We played with that spell all the time in school and no one ever had reactions like this. The spell is only meant to make the individuals slightly horny. The longer they delay, the hormones get worse if the two desired each other but not to this magnitude. If they did not have any feelings whatsoever, the spell wore off after a couple of days, EVEN if they saw each other. That was an error on the books part.

However to be cautious, i did some research into the book. It was written by a teenager go figure. The author while a talented wizard, tended to exaggerate the power of his spells to sell books and gain attention. It failed. After realizing most of his spells were just simple little charms, people ignored him and he disappeared from the public eye. They were simple prank spells, (NOWHERE NEAR YOURSELF AND FREDS LEVEL I MIGHT ADD).

So why are these two suddenly so desperate for each other. I got lupins opinion (also sworn to secrecy) on this as well. But we believe that its simply both of them are powerful wizards. While you didnt tell me exactly what Hermione said to Fred that sparked all of this, whatever it was must have been strong enough for both of their hidden attraction to each other to suddenly reveal itself. It is possible to be attracted to someone and not realize it for awhile, which i believe to be the case in this situation. Back to what i was saying, they are both powerful. So naturally their feelings will be powerful. Harrys parents were like this in a way. However rather than deny their feelings, they accepted them. The more powerful the witch or wizard, the more powerful the feelings. So to put it simply. THEY ARE JUST SUPER HORNY FOR EACH OTHER. Which apparently turned their minds inside out as they believed a stupid little book like that.

I contacted Hermione and told her our thoughts as well. She wasn't happy about us knowing but she understood your concern. She will be back to Hogwarts in a few days. She is still very confused about everything so after you explain this to Fred make sure he moves slow with her.

Still amazed that a simple case of hormonal lust could cause this much drama, but alas that is what the school days are all about.

Keep Pranking!

Sirius

And lupin.

George collapsed back into the chair and laughed. He couldn't believe it. They were attracted to each other and didn't realize till Hermione stepped up the teasing. They must have been in denial up until then and then assumed they had been tampered with. He felt guilty for not noticing his brothers budding feelings for the smarty pants. They had always flirted but it always seemed harmless and jokingly. He couldn't stop laughing. It was all a SIMPLE OVERREACTION!

After finally managing to compose himself he went upstairs to relay the news to his twin. Oh the next few days were going to be fun.
