Chapter 1
The Weasley twins, Fred and George, raced down the stairs, and out the back door. Oh they were going to get it, but they didnt care, that was the fun of it. "FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY!" hollered Mrs.Weasley, and the twins snickered.
"Oh bugger," said Fred sarcastically. "We've been caught." They laughed, and trotted down behind the hill, towards the shed.
"Hurry," said George quietly, as they entered the shed. Fred pulled back the rug and opened a trap door that lay hidden. The twins sliently crept down the stairs that led to who knows where, and George quietly pulled the door shut behind them.
"Oh where did they run off to?" said Mrs.Weasley, looking out the window. She looked back at Ginny, who sat glumly at the table. By the result of one of the twins tricks, Ginny had turned green. Green like grass, and nothing Mrs.Weasley tried could counter it. Only the twins knew how to change it, and they just had to conviently disappear. Just then Mr.Weasly came home from work, and saw his daughter in the mess that she was, sitting at the table. He looked at his wife. "Molly, is this one of the twins tricks?" he asked, looking from Ginny to Mrs.Weasley. "Im afraid so," she replied. "And they are gone. Nowhere to be found. I swear they plan these things months in advance." she sighed, and looked out the window. It was getting dark. They would come back sooner or later.
Down beneath the secret trap door, Fred and George were not the least bit worried. They sat on old couches, surrounded by their latest pranks and inventions. This was were everything they did, every idea they had, began. They had almost everything down there, from a small bed to a fridge, and every kind of candy imaginable in a cupboard, all saved from Honeydukes over the years. Since it was the summer, they would be going back to Hogwarts for their fourth year, and getting every new kind of candy and joke device that would go on sale. They rather looked forward to this, as they kept their cupboards of candy and drawers of pranks fully restocked, but they tended to get low over the summer. After finishing off some acid pops, they decided they best head back to the house, and try to get past Mrs.Weasley without getting their heads torn off.
The rest of the family was in the living room, so the twins went through the back door, and snuck up the stairs, avoiding all the creaky spots, of which they had memorized. But, entirely on accident, George slipped on a stair, making a loud clunk noise. Mrs.Weasley picked up on this sound instantly, and ran over to the staircase, where Fred was hurriedly trying to help George up. "FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY!" yelled Mrs.Weasley, " Come down here THIS INSTANT!" The twins exchanged looks and slowly trudged down the steps. "You change her back, you two, RIGHT NOW! And both of you are grounded for a week! no excuses!"
Fred and George rolled their eyes. " Aw, come on Mum, it was just a bit o' fun.." whined George.
"Isnt it always..." said Mrs.Weasley, pulling the twins by their sleeves into the kitchen. "Fix this mess you made. Right now." Mrs.Weasley said, pointing to Ginny. Fred and George looked glumly at each other, and then Fred pulled a powder out of his pocket and give it to Ginny. He rolled his eyes again. " Eat this." he said, as Mrs.Weasly told them to go to bed before they caused anymore trouble. As they walked up the stairs, Ron gave them this look of " ha you have to go to bed early". Fred and George stuck their tongues out at Ron, who frowned, and continued petting his rat. George shuddered. " I hate rats." he said, trudging up the stairs.
