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.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/13230340/8/Hermione hadn't wanted to do any of them at all, and Ron was trying to convince her to give at least one a go when the Weasley twins came hurrying over.
"Harry!" one of them said.
"Just the person we wanted to see," the other continued.
"Do you think you could help us with something?"
The second one held up a red envelope. "I don't suppose you'd be willing to deal with this?"
"By which we mean eat this."
"Our dear mother gets very uptight about things."
"Even when we've been punished for them already."
Harry felt like he was watching a tennis game.
"How are you doing that?" he asked, as the envelope began to emit curls of smoke.
"Don't have time for that now," said the one not holding the envelope, picking up a pepper grinder and grinding some over the smoking envelope. "You could really help us out."
"Just dispose of this for us."
"It should be a snap."
"I think it's a good idea, Harry," Percy said, surprising Harry. "My brothers have broken the rules, but they deserve detention – not public humiliation."
"We're just thinking of the children," said George, or possibly Fred.
"Don't want them deafened," George, or perhaps Fred, agreed.
Harry opened his mouth to ask, but the letter was starting to curl up at the edges now. George held it out, Harry got slightly confused, and in a moment the letter was going down his throat.
A few tense seconds passed in silence, as the Weasleys waited with bated breath – along with Neville, while Hermione and Dean just looked confused.
There was a faint tickling in Harry's stomach, but nothing that seemed important.
"Phew," George said (Harry had decided to call them both George unless something changed). "Thanks, Harry."
Harry tried to say it was nothing, but what came out was a magically enhanced shout. "DISRESPECTING A-"
His glasses went bouncing away across the floor as he shut his mouth with a snap.
"Mm?" he asked.
"It's a Howler," Ron supplied. "It's a magical letter that shouts at the person who gets it."
"TOLD YOU-" Harry bellowed, then decided to just hold his mouth shut until the conversation was over.
