"We hafta go through that?" George hissed, his vibrant green eyes dulling whilst looking up and down the brick column. Of course he had witnessed his brothers before him run through it countless times, but it was always different when it came down to your turn.
Beside him, Fred nudged his twin and flashed a goofy smile only an eleven year old could make cute. "C'mon Georgie, we've been through loads of walls! Remember the time at great Aunt Tessie's-"
Georges face brightened immediately. "When we tried to help in the kitchen, but dropped a Zonko's Zinger Explosive in the soup-"
"And we both went through the wall-"
"Then landed on the cat!" They giggled together at the memories, the sudden fear of a plain ol' wall evaporating in a flash. Even with the livid look their mother gave them and the disappointing scowl on Percy's face, Fred and George Weasley couldn't help but howl with laughter some more. After years of waiting, it had finally been the Weasley twins' turn to go to Hogwarts. Fashioned with new wands, but hand me down books, cauldrons, shoes and robes, the two were standing on the platform of Kings Cross Station. For the first year, Arthur Weasley was unable to see the boys off, leaving Molly to bring Ginny and Ronald along as well.
During their fit of laughter, Fred and George hadn't noticed Molly Weasley sending Percy through, and when the two had simmered down, they turned to find Nine Year old Ronald and eight year old Ginny their only siblings left. "Alright Fred," Said their mother, swiveling around to face the twins. "Go on then, run straight at it."
In their nervous state, the Twins hadn't even bothered their usual 'I'm not Fred, I'm George' bid. "Wish me luck, George." Fred said with a smile as he positioned himself and his cart directly in front of the wall. There was a pause taken before he broke into a run and vanished from sight, leaving George alone with his Mum and younger siblings. The second half of the Weasley twins then stepped forward with a new excitement, figuring if Fred could have done it, then George could too. Holding his breath, George felt his palms getting sweaty and forced himself to think that Fred was faithfully waiting for him just on the other side of that wall. George then rushed forward, closing his eyes and bracing himself for the worst like he did whenever mum caught him doing something wrong, and just like that it was over. "There you are! I thought you were stuck in the wall, or something."
Opening his eyes again, he nearly collided his cart with Fred, who was grinning like a mad man. With a relieved laugh, George pushed his cart towards the scarlet engine of the Hogwarts Express. "George Weasley, the boy who got stuck in the wall. I'd be as famous as Harry Potter!"
"S'pose mum will bring Gin and Ronny through?"
"Wouldn't be fair. She never brought us through before." George answered, standing on his tip toes to try and catch a glimpse of Percy.
"Yeah, but dad always came with us before. She can't leave Ronniekins behind. He'll take off after the first food trolley that passes by!"
"C'mon Freddie, Ronniekins doesn't like Muggle food."
"Fred, George, Percy!"
The twins looked over their shoulders, mirroring each other as they watched Mrs. Weasley make her way through the barrier. Ron looked sheet white with terror and clung to his mothers hand while Ginny looked about with wide and fascinated eyes. Immediately, Percy pushed his way through the crowd to answer his mothers call. "Yes Mother?"
Fred nudged George and lowered his voice. "Maybe we'll learn a spell that'll make us sound like Mum. Then we can call Percy and he'll come running each time!"
Snickering quietly to themselves, the Weasley Twins straightened and listened in Mum's instructions.
"Now Percy dear, keep a close eye on your brothers and keep them out of trouble." She by-passed the look of despair on Percy's face and waved the Twins closers. "You two have fun and write to me as soon as you can." Kissing them both on the cheek, she waved them to hurry to the trains as the crowd of students was thinning quickly.
"Don't worry mum!" Fred Began, knowing full well that George would continue. "We'll send you three rolls,"
"Fine Print," George grinned.
"Containing our full analysis of Hogwarts!"
"Promise!" The chorused, before turning and towards the train as it gave a shrill whistle. "Gotta go!"
"I love you dears and I'll see you for Christmas!" She called after them, letting go of Ron's hand to wave goodbye and blow kisses.
Heaving their trunks and belongings onto the train, Fred and George poked their heads out of the window to wave good bye. "Hey Fred, do you think Mum can hear us?" He might have heard Fred say something along the lines of 'Not a chance' before continuing. "We'll send loads of detention slips and trophies of our shenanigans!"
Behind him, Fred laughed from amusement and excitement. They were finally on their way.
