Christmas Question

How it all started

In a warm, cozy, little house, in the middle of a busy, snowy, shopping street, two boys, a twin, actually, were staring at the stockings above the fire place.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked George.

"Depends on what you are thinking. What are you thinking?" replied Fred.

George looked at Fred, at the same time when Fred looked at George.

"Exactly what you are thinking."

"Good. We haven't lost our touch."

"Nope."

They sat in silence for a moment, both pondering over what they were thinking.

"How in heaven's name does he do it?" Fred started. "Do you think he's a wizard?"

George shrugged. "I know he's a wizard, Hermione once mentioned that, but which spell does he use?"

No-one said anything for a moment, until George suddenly said: "Why not ask him?"

Fred stared at George for a moment, his thoughtful face turning into a grinning one.

"If I say you're brilliant, does that mean I'm too?"

"No."

"Why not, I could have thought of it too!"

"But I was first…"

"Puh. Next time, I'm so going to be first."

"You can always try."

"You'll see," Fred ended the conversation mysteriously.


For all the people who are not Fred and George, this was what they were thinking:

Being the genius masterminds of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and very successful, they needed something new. Something that would blast away everyone, that would surprise everyone. It was a couple of days before Christmas, when the scene of just now happened. They were both staring at the stockings, and, as we all know, Santa puts candy in them. BUT, how? How does he manage, to put candy in so much stockings, in such a short time?

That is what our favourite Weasley twin is going to find out.
