"She'll be here!" Lee Jordan said. Fred and George Weasley were beginning to wonder if this girl even existed. Lee had been going on about her since they met in detention. Though the year was still young, they had both managed a detention from Professor McGonagall. She had somehow sent an exploding note across the room and he had been the one to open it. Of course she had no intentional victim at the time and had just passed it on to see what would happen.

They were all sitting in the Gryffindor common room in the corner by a window, discussing their plans about Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. It was their sixth year and they were just about ready to get out as soon as possible. Lee was distracted and began frantically searching the common room. George rolled his eyes over at Fred who smirked knowingly.

"Come on now Lee, it's okay if you've been stood up," George began mockingly.

"That's right, invisible dates often do that," Fred continued with the same tone. His arm was already around Lee's shoulder. They almost made it back to their room when a loud voice exploded from the entrance of the common room.

"Hello!" the deep voice boomed. Walking in, was a handsome, cocky boy with luscious golden blond hair and dull brown eyes. He smiled and strode confidently towards a group of girls. The boys stopped in curiosity of this new character. They've never seen him before. The handsome boy's eyes met with Ginny, Fred and George's younger sister. He stepped towards her and took her hand to kiss. The twins were on him in a second. "Oi!" George grabbed the boy's shoulder and pulled him back to face them.

"What do you think you're doing?" George yelled. His wand was out and pointing at his face, just as Fred's was.

"That's our sister there!" The boy appeared shocked and put on a convincingly innocent face. Ginny tried to step in to say that she didn't need protecting by George hushed her up.

"Now don't go trying that on us!"

"We've been goin' at that for years!" The boy smirked and shook his head.

"No need to worry boys," the boy began, "I'm not interested in any of the girls in this room." A few groans could be heard and Ginny frowned. "In fact." He stepped towards Fred and looked at him from top to bottom. "I would much prefer you." Fred's wand dropped to his side and he stepped back in fear. Lee and George broke out into tremendous fits of laughter, as did the rest of the common room. Fred's face turned from white to red in a matter of seconds and he was utterly speechless.

"Don't think you're my type mate," he muttered. The boy looked shocked that he spoke but smile all the same. He winked in Lee's direction and dragged the three of them up to the male dormitories. As soon as they entered Fred, George and Lee's room, the boy burst into laughter. A light, playful, female voice came from his mouth when he spoke.

"The look… on… your face…!" he was pointing at Fred while he laughed. The twins were in shock and made no attempt to stop his or her laughter.

"Brilliant Melissa! Just brilliant!" Lee called out. Melissa took her want from her robe and lightly tapped the top of her head. The effects were that of Polyjuice potion but much quicker. Melissa's body shrunk and her hair lengthened and turned to a dark brown. She had transformed from a handsome boy into a small girl right before their eyes. The twins continued a record breaking silence. She curtsied as if to end her performance.

"Hello, my name is Melissa Notte. Interesting to meet you." Melissa had big brown eyes, though the color was a bit dull. Her long wavy hair fell mid-way down her back and her height was half a foot from the twins' shoulders. There was still an awkward silence. The twins looked at each other and back at Melissa.

"She's great at Transfiguration see?" Lee explained quickly, "Top marks! And she can do it without a spell. She's also great at Charms and Potions; second to Granger." George was the first to speak.

"Blimey, brilliant prank there," he said to her. She smiled and thanked him.

"Yea, how do you do that?" Fred asked.

"I transfigure," she replied, pointing out the obvious. "Can we agree that everything we say now is confidential?" They nodded, having their own secrets. "I love messing with people, they never know it's me you see. I do other pranks too, but if anyone knew I was transfiguring like this… well, let's just say it isn't exactly legal."

"What?" Lee asked.

"Well, the type of transfiguration I do isn't legal. It's one thing to turn a person into an object but to turn a person into another person? It's almost the same as a Polyjuice potion. The biggest difference, and the biggest issue, is that sometimes people get stuck. I've never gotten stuck before but the spell is sort of… well, it still has some bugs. It also runs the risk of stealing another person's identity. See, the spell is untraceable unless you trace it from my wand. And, it never wears off until the caster takes it off. Again, really risky. Since it's untraceable, it's useful, but the Ministry doesn't like not being in control of it. It's called morphus totalus and takes a hell of a lot of time to master. Don't try it. Trust me."

"Blimey," the twins muttered.

"Lee said you needed help with a few tricks," she prompted.

"Right," Fred started, "See we're creating some merchandise for a joke shop we plan to run."

"Right now we're in the middle of developing our Skiving Snack Boxes," George continued.

"Basically, if you eat them, they'll make you sick enough to get you out of class."

"And then, eating the other end will get you well again to go on and about your way once you're out." She nodded in understanding.

"The only problem is-."

"That some of them don't stop once they've started."

"For instance, our Nosebleed Nougat," George revealed a small box of orange and purple sweets.

"Well, it's doesn't exactly stop the bleeding like it should."

"We've been trying to figure it out for weeks."

"The orange ones make you bleed in seconds."

"And the purple ones stop it." Melissa picked up the orange and purple sweets and examined them for a moment before pocketing them.

"How do you know if they work?" She asked.

"They test it on themselves," Lee piped, "I've also been helpin' out with it."

"And why should I help you?" she asked skeptically. She expected payment. "I mean, I've got other things to do you know. I could be off setting Flitch on a wild goose chase. What do I get if I help you?" The twins glared at Lee. They hadn't known of payment.

"Five percent," Fred bargained.

"Twenty," she countered.

"Seven," George said.

"Fifteen."

"Ten," Lee said.

"Deal. Ten percent of whatever you make off your snack boxes and I'll fix anything you need." They all shook on it. It was the beginning of an interesting friendship.
