Chapter 1

Fred's POV

It was time to go back to Hogwarts! I would be starting my third year along with my twin brother George. The reason we like Hogwarts because it was filled with opportunity - to pull pranks. Mum doesn't exactly approve, but Dad acts stern with a twinkle in his eye.

Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, we were going to Hogwarts. My brother Ron was going in to his first year. He was quite nervous. Just before we went through the barrier a nervous looking boy with dark hair asked Mum how to get through the barrier. Of course we helped him. That's just the Weasley way I suppose. He had a scar on his forehead, kind of like the one Harry Potter got... Bloody Hell! It's Harry Potter. George and I exchanged glances but we knew not to say anything of Mum would get mad. Oh well.

George and I were getting on the train when we saw a girl saying goodbye to her parents. They must be muggles. My heart broke at the sight of the girl crying silently, trying to stay strong. She was having trouble getting her trunk up the steps of the train, so I ran to help her.

"Hey," I said. "What's your name?"

"Hermione Granger," she replied.

"Well, Miss Granger, would you let myself, the honorable Fredrick Weasley, help you?" I asked her trying to sound posh.

"Of course you may Fredrick," she said smiling, trying to sound posh as well.

We looked at each other and laughed so hard people started staring.

"I actually go by Fred," I said as I grabbed her trunk and led her through the train.

"Do you want to sit with me and my friends," I asked her.

"You probably don't want to sit with me," she said frowning as if remembering something.

"Of course I do! You're really funny," I said grinning.

"Well, okay," she replied with a matching grin.

We went to our compartment and I introduced her to Alicia, Katie, Angelina, Lee, Oliver, and George, who had got on the train as I was helping 'Mione, I mean Hermione. I guess I should get to know her better before I give her a nickname! Anyways, she didn't gasp or look surprised when she met George, like some people do when the meet us separately. She just smiled at everyone and said hello. Then I showed her how to play Exploding Snap. I looked over and George was smirking at me and I blushed. Blushed! George's smirk got bigger. I think he thinks I like Hermione. Which is... kind of true. I don't know how I could feel like this in a matter of an hour. I just continued the play with Hermione until she beat me! Everyone was laughing and Hermione looked triumphant. After that she pulled out a book and began to read. Some might say that a bookworm wouldn't fit into our group of athletes and pranksters, but I disagree. I think she'll be part of the group in no time.
