Chapter 1

As Fred was walking down the hallway with George he would constantly think of the future, life when he wasn't in school and owning a joke shop. Not that school was bad; it was actually okay this year for him. He didn't have a huge amount of homework, actually none since he didn't do any homework even if he had it. "Oh George, can you just imagine how dreadful all these children's lives will be without us?"

"Oh Fred, they'll be crying when we leave but they can always come see us at our joke shop." said George.

"So true George, speaking of which, I think I finally perfected some puking pastilles to test on those first years." replied Fred.

"Don't you two have somewhere to be?"

Oh great Snape, their least favorite teacher in the world. "Of course Professor, we have transfigurations class." Said Fred, trying to make it sound as least sarcastic as possible because the last thing he wanted was detention and to miss quidditch practice. If he and George missed practice for detention, who knows what Angelina would do to them. Last time Harry just missed try outs Angelina found him in the great hall and screamed at him so loud, it wouldn't surprise him if people in London heard her.

"Then I suggest you get to class."

"Yes professor." They said together.

"Katie, do you have a quill I could borrow, I need one for transfigurations class."

"Oh, sure" said Katie to one of her good friends, Sophie.

"Are you feeling okay? You look kind of tense." Sophie had a way of sensing her friend was tense, kind of how she had a way of sensing everything. Sophie was one year older than Katie, although that really made no difference in their friendship. Katie kind of liked having an older friend, she could always ask her for advice, and help on homework. Katie's first year of Hogwarts she had seen Sophie seeing as they were in the same house but they really weren't friends until Katie had joined the Gryffindor quidditch team. Sophie always hung out with Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet and once Katie joined the team she started hanging out them and they all became good friends. The one thing that could get annoying about hanging out with Sophie though is the fact that she has seers blood, which means she can see the future and as she's gotten older, been able to read people's thoughts.

"Can you not read my mind right now?" Katie said seeming very annoyed.

"I didn't read your mind; you know I don't read people's minds for fun. I do have some self control, anyways the one time I did read your mind it wasn't that interesting. Now Lavender Brown, her mind is so full drama; it's like the best entertainment ever."

Katie just gave her friend the 'are you kidding me' look and kept on walking.

"Hey I'm joking! Fred and George aren't the only people in the school who can make jokes. It's obvious that something is troubling you and it doesn't take a mind reader to see that. What's wrong?"said Sophie with concern in her voice.

"Well you know how Oliver left two years ago?"said Katie.

"Of course, he was one of the cutest guys at this school. Hey, didn't you have a crush on him while he was here?" replied Sophie.

"Yeah but that doesn't matter, well he's gone and you know how Ron is replacing him…"

"Yeah…" said Sophie and gave her the 'get to the point' look.

"Well I've seen him practice and he's not that…well…good."

"Angelina wouldn't choose him for the team if he wasn't that good; Angelina and I share the same dorm and trust me she's taking this captain thing very seriously. You should have seen the way she screamed at Harry for not coming to tryouts because he had detention, for a second I thought she might have actually tried to hex him."

"Yeah your right, well I should probably get going to class." said Katie.

"Yeah, me too."

As Fred and George sat down for transfigurations George suddenly realized they had a quiz that day in class.

"Fred!"

"Yes George."

"We have a quiz today; I don't even remember what we've been learning in class for the past week."

"Now that you mention it, I don't remember anything either." Said Fred slightly worried.

"Honestly Fred and George, you guys only have three classes." said Angelina, one of their classmates and best friends.

"Exactly" said George.

"Which means life is harder for us" said Fred.

"How does only having three classes make life harder for you?" replied Angelina.

"Well it's exactly what you said Angelina," said George.

"By only taking three classes we have no excuses for failing" said Fred.

"Which means we actually have to somewhat try" finished George.

"Wow guys," said Sophie as she walked in the door, "forgot about the quiz again, really?"

Sophie being her know-it-all self, thought Fred.

"I know what you just thought Fred, now do you want me to look into the future and give you the answers or let you fail?"

"Hey let's not be harsh here Sophie" replied Fred.

Sophie always gave Fred and George the answers to tests, exams, and quizzes if they were ones that included writing and not actually having do magic. If it did involve magic Fred and George were on their own. Although, now that Umbridge was High Inquisitor every exam, test and even minor quizzes weren't allowed to really use that much magic.

"I don't know if I should give you the answers Fred, you didn't even say please." Said Sophie

Suddenly George came in and said with the most sarcastic tone "Oh Sophie, would you please grace us with the answers to this quiz"

"Fine" she replied, it was blatantly obvious to Fred that Sophie fancied George, and he fancied her back so of course she was going to give them the answers. After Sophie looked like she was in an intense daydream for a few moments she gave them the answers to the quiz which made Fred and George's day knowing they weren't going to get a howler from their mother screaming at the about how they weren't taking school seriously.

After class while Fred, George, Alicia, Sophie, Angelina and, Lee Jordan were walking to lunch Sophie asked "So is Ron actually going to be on the quidditch team?"

"That's what I've decided" replied Angelina.

"Well I hope Ron steps up his game." said George.

"Yeah that boy better not embarrass me or George on the quidditch field, that's all I can say" said Fred.

"I can't wait for quidditch to start, I just love announcing the games" said Lee.

"Well we're getting close to the games, tomorrow is our first practice" said Angelina.

"Well me and George are ready," said Fred stopping and seeing Katie Bell walking down the hallway, "hey Katie!"

"Yes!" said Katie

"Are you ready for practice tomorrow?"

"I'm always ready."
