    ... promised that they would teach all of his friends. They all turned to their own guardians, who nodded their approval to show that they had been consulted and agreed. Some had taken more convincing than others, but after they had had the pros laid out for them, even Mrs. Weasley had to agree. The idea of her children being able to get out of trouble should it be necessary was appealing, as much as she wanted to shelter them from the world. She wasn't naïve enough to think that they would just sit out of the war that was brewing. Not when Harry was so likely to be involved, given his role so far. Fred and George seemed a bit put out that they weren't included in the present, but Molly drew the line at letting her mischievous sons gain yet another way to cause mayhem. She did, however, swear the twins to secrecy; the fewer people who knew about this, the better, particularly since they weren't exactly planning on registering the kids' animal forms until the war was over, to give them every advantage they could get.

I thought I had broken you of this habit!" Harry winced and rubbed his arm. Ron was the next to speak. "You're my best mate, Harry. I'm with you, no matter what." Hermione and Neville nodded. "Honestly, Harry, how far do you think you would get without me?" Hermione admonished. They all laughed at Hermione's prim attitude, and she smiled a second later, letting them know she was just joking – though they all knew that they really wouldn't make it very far without their knowledgeable best friend.
