Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Fred nodded. They’d just explained the plan, and Dumbledore’s planned path for Harry.
“Even though he has to have known that the unpredictable nature of the new-DADA-instructor-every-year thing is going to screw with any plans he makes?”
George nodded.
“And he decided to push those plans anyways, even after enough Equestrians entered Hogwarts to outnumber Wizarding Britain?”
Fred nodded. “That did seem a bit strange to us, but…”
Lyra folded her arms. “Huh. I wonder…” She turned to Harry and Hermione, who both had hands on their foreheads- from facepalming. “Something tells me they didn’t find you right away.”
George shook his head. “No.”
“Actually,” Hermione said, the corner of her mouth bending in a grin as she lowered her hand. “You did, on the train. You just didn’t know you did, because we said no.”
“... Oh.”
“I wonder how you found them here?” Lyra asked.
“Ahh… Dumbledore took forever to look up his class schedule, and sent it to us. I think it was, what, three weeks?” Fred looked at his brother. “Four?”
George shrugged. “Thereabouts, yes.”
Lyra snorted. “Shoulda asked Professor McGonagall. We gave her six copies of each student’s schedule, all nice and sorted, from the moment we built them. But that does suggest he hasn’t been thinking very straight, doesn’t it?” She looked at Harry. “Perhaps he’s still at the point of trying to cobble together the remains of a plan that has already been blown to smithereens, and hasn’t yet realized he needs to accept that new variables have entered play?” She folded her arms. “Because if anything else, we are not going to surrender anyone. We’ve faced a couple Big Bads over in Equestria, and beat every one of them without losing anyone. Any less is unacceptable.”
Lyra looked between Harry, Hermione, Fred, and George, who were all looking at her.
She shrugged. “Well, it’s unacceptable in Equestria. I see no reason why it should be acceptable here either. In any case, dooming someone to be surrendered is unacceptable.”
