    ... looked confused, so she continued, brushing his hair out of his face. "A few years ago, you would never have considered telling an adult about any of this. Do you remember all those harebrained schemes you cooked up with Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger? And now look at you. You've grown up so much." Harry's blush deepened. "I think I just learned how to trust," he admitted. "So really, you and Sirius are to blame for this." Minerva beamed. "Well, I'll take partial credit, but you're the one who did the hard work, Harry. You let us in. Now, you should head back to your friends, but take ten points to Gryffindor for excellent forethought and spell work." Harry grinned and left the office. XXX Fred and George were feeling immensely frustrated. Even after their father had joined them in their efforts, they still weren't having any luck in getting these listening devices to work. "It shouldn't be this hard," George complained, collapsing onto one of the benches in their workroom. It was a weekend, and they were still working. Arthur had joined them since he didn't have to be at the Ministry, and they were trying to come up with new ideas on how to get these things to work.

"Perhaps the answer isn't to try and figure out how to put passive magic into something. Boys, do you have the notes Harry sent you? From what I saw at McGonagall Castle, Lilly Potter was a genius in getting muggle devices to work around magic. Perhaps the solution is to get a device to work off of this battery, and then shield the muggle technology from the magic surrounding it." He was very proud of himself for remembering what Harry had called the small objects that powered muggle devices. Both Weasley twins immediately lost their frustrated looks and stood up, getting back to work. Together, the three of them spent the rest of the day, and most of the evening, working on this new angle. The result was a still nonworking model, but it was closer to their goal than any previous attempts. And this one wasn't likely to explode on them, so it was progress.
