Here's the first chapter re-done into 3rd person. The other's will be changed soon.
George sat, mouth hanging open as the Hogwarts express slowly rocked from side to side, the journey to Hogwarts was well on it's way. Lee's baby acromantula crawling it's way around the compartment.
"This is so awesome" Fred murmured in awe, George giving a small nod of agreement. "Where'd you get it?"
"My uncle got it for me" Lee said, moving to stroke the back of the spider.
"The nice one or the crazy one?" George asked, leaning forward to get a better look at it scuttling around.
"Kev, the fun one. Him and mum never got on and they had this big blow up over the summer. She's always be scared of insects of any sort so kev got it for me to get back at her" Lee said causing the three of them to laugh.
"I do love that guy" Fred sighed happily.
"That's horrible" All heads snapped to the compartment door. A small girl with bushy brown hair and too large front teeth was standing proudly in the doorway "If someone is scared of something putting it into their house is cruel" She chastised
"Whatever" Lee said to the small girl "Close the door before he gets out will you?" She quickly took a step further in, sliding the door shut behind her.
"Besides, it's an arachnid not an insect." She said smartly, causing the three to look to her as if she where crazy. Then again, walking into a compartment with a giant tarantula crawling happily around the floor and reprimanding them on a man she didn't know for being 'cruel' did seem pretty crazy. The tarantula begun it's way up the side of her leg. "Arachnid's differ from insects in tha-"
"What do you want ickle firstie?" Fred interrupted. Getting bored of the extra presence in their compartment.
"I was wondering if any of you had seen a." The spider had quickly reached her neck, crawling around her, once, twice, slowly. "Can you get this thing off of me. I can't think properly" She snapped, eye's glued on Lee.
"Why are you asking me..it's not mine" Lee lied causing the girl's face to flush angrily.
"Yes it is! Or are you stupid enough to forget that I came in just as you where saying your uncle Kev gave it to you" The tarantula finally stopped circling her. Resting happily on her shoulder, legs wiggling and feeling the side of the girls face, she'd stretched her neck as far as she could to try to keep it off her face.
"Well..What if I don't want to take it off you, He sees to like you" It moved slightly, leg brushing across her lips making the small girl let out a small whimper. Her breathing was labored. Hands clenched and shaking but she was still glaring angrily at Lee.
"Oh come on Lee don't be a prick. Just put it away we can take it out again once she's gone." George said, feeling bad for her. Lee glared at him but obliged, standing up and scooping it off of the girl and pushing it back into it's box. The bushy beaver looked down to George a small smile on her face as she straightened out her clothes.
"thank you" She said calmly.
"What did you want?" George said quickly, still not to thrilled in some random brainy girl bursting into their compartment.
"Have you seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one" She said smartly.
"No" George and Lee deadpanned.
"Another first year with a toad. Pathetic, it's the worst one to have honeslty, firsties have no common sense when it comes to pets." Fred said with a small laugh
"At least he has a pet. I see neither of you have cages." She spits glaring at the twins as they laugh, both still turning to look at her with raised eyebrows. Did we just get talked back to by a girst year"Anyway I don't think toads are that bad. I saw a boy earlier with a rat that was pretty pathetic" She admitted. Fred turning to George with a smile.
"Was the rat's name Scabbers?" Fred asked. The girl giving a shrug.
"I don't know, I didn't ask. The boy did try to turn the rat yellow. He failed of course, I don't think it was even a real spell" She said with a sigh.
"Sunshine, daises, butter, mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow" Fred and George chorused together.
"That was the spell! How did you know that?" She said shocked.
"I made it up" George chuckled "That boy with the rat was Ron, our little brother. Gullible little prat if you ask me. We were hoping he would do it in a lesson whilst trying to show off"
"You made up a fake spell just to embarrass your little brother?" George nodded at the girl and to his surprise she giggled "That's just silly. Why didn't you just give him a spell and tell him it did something else. For example, give him one that will make you go bald and say it was conjure chocolate." She said flippiantly. George looked to his twin and Lee with his mouth hanging open why didn't we think of that?!
"Listen firstie." Fred said suddenly.
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Good for you. We're clever third years who've been pranking our whole lives. We appreciate it but we don't need your help with pranks. Of course we thought of things like that" You're such a sore loser freddie "but it's rather juvenile isn't it?" Fred finished smartly, the girl's face blushing a bright red only when she went to retort the door slid open. A small, round first year coming in. Tears streaming down his face.
"H-hermione. I can't find trevor anywhere. What about you?" He sniffled. Looking up to her with hopeful eyes.
"Oh no sorry neville. I've been in her I haven't even looked over the other side of the train yet." The hope from the boys face washed away in an instant. More tears pricking in the round faced boys eyes. His mind slowly went back to when Ron had lost scabbers when he was 9, the boy cried for days before Fred and George had finally found him tucked away underneath the sofa. With a sigh George found his resolve standing up and throwing his arm around the small girl.
"Granger " George begun
"Hermione" She corrected.
"Granger, was just convincing us three to help you look. We were merely discussing where...Trevor was it? Might be" George lied, the young boys face lighting back up.
"Yo-you're helping find trevor?"
"We are" George said happily.
"We are?" Fred questioned.
"You are?"
"We are!" George said once again, dragging Granger from the compartment. "come on boys, Granger. This toad won't find itself."
Half an hour of looking for a toad with no luck later. George, Fred and Lee returned to their compartment. Fred and Lee falling next to each other on one side as George threw himself out across the other, Lying comfortably on the rickety train.
"Why did we have to go and help them try and find that bloody toad?" Fred snapped to his twin. George trying to shrug from his position but failing.
"Did you see his face? Kid looked heart broken, reminded me of that time Rod lost Scabbers. Besides, now my good deed for the year is done" George said, smirking towards his twin and friend.
"It's meant to be good deed for the day" Once again all three heads snap to the door, granger standing there hovering there, smiling slightly.
"Yeah but I don't think I could do that many good deeds, one a year is hard enough. Don't you agree Freddie?" George said calmly.
"Definitely, what about you Lee?"
"Ditto" Lee drawled. The girl rolling her eyes at the three of them, trying to hide her smile.
"I've lost Neville. Could I sit with you? The three of you seem nice...sort off" The trio laughed, eyes finding each other before nodding unanimously. The girl walked in nervously shutting the door behind her before sitting carefully next to Lee. Leaving George sprawled across his seat.
"So...What houses are you all in?" She asked curiously.
"We're all gryffindor. What house are you hoping to be in?" Fred replied quickly.
"Well.. gryffindor sounds alright. Maybe ravenclaw...I was reading about the houses and the school trying to catch up. I managed to memorize most of my books. Will that be enough? I mean I know most people have grown up in the magical world and I only found out about it a few week's ago but I got loads of books out and read about a lot of the history as well as just our school books and...will it be enough?" She ranted in a panic.
"You a muggle born then?" George said curiously. The girl nodding quickly. "Don't worry about it. We're not allowed to do magic outside of school until the age of 17 so much of the first years won't have even tried magic and by the sound of it you've probably done more reading than the rest of the first year all together" George reassured her. The girl worrying her lip.
"So I won't be behind?" She asked nervously. The three shaking there heads.
"You should be fine. What do you your parents do in the muggle world then?" Lee said.
"Oh, they're dentists" She said proudly.
"What's a dentist?" Fred and George asked at the same time. After her explaining what dentists where the group went into talking about Hogwarts. Answering any question the girl had about the school. Finally the subject veered to pranks. Fred, Lee and George shooting idea's for what they could do this school year. The first year quietened down at this topic, George got the feeling she was one to follow the rules. Shame, that bald idea had potential.
Finally the Hogwarts express slowed to a stop. The four of them wandering out into the cold night air. Fred, George and Lee all held smiles, happy to be back, hermione however looked very apprehensive. Especially when noticing the giant man shouting for the first years.
"You need to go to him" George mumbled, gently pushing her towards Hagrid.
"why don't we come with you?" She asked nervously, digging her heels into the ground and refusing to let George push her any faster.
"I think they want a more dramatic entrance for first years. It's fine, you'll love it trust me."
"We'll see you at the castle" Lee said reassuringly. George looked to see his twin had found Angelina and was jumping happily around her, begging for her attention.
"Okay"
"Don't fall in!" Lee called before running off to find a carriage. The girl turned to him with wide eyes.
"Fall in. what does that mean?"
"He's kidding. You'll be fine. Now go!" The girl slowly nodded. Taking a deep breath before holding her head up high, all traces of fear gone as she marched towards the other first years.
"Oh and Granger!" George shouted after her, the girl spinning once she reached the group to look at him. "Hope to see you in gryffindor" Shooting a quick wink at her George took off after Lee and his twin.
Sorry for the inconvenience
