Summary:Ever wondered who the dominant Weasley twin was? So has Fred Weasley.
Dominant
Twins. There are so many legends and myths about twins. Some say they're telepathic; others say they're really one person in two bodies. But one thing almost everyone agrees on is there's often what they call a 'dominant' twin.
I'm a twin. I'm an identical twin, so I should know if all those things people say about twins are true! I think it's true that twins are telepathic. I just have to look at George and I can tell what he's thinking about, what he's feeling… He's my soul mate, my other half. And, on top of all that, there are hardly any differences between us. In fact, the biggest difference between us is probably that George was born two minutes before me, and that's not even a proper difference!
I guess people see me as the dominant twin. I hate that word. Dominant. It makes it sound like I bully George around and make him finish my sentences, but I don't. People only see me as the dominant twin because we're known as 'Fred and George' and not 'George and Fred'. I suppose it's also because I'm only slightly louder, too. But that doesn't mean I'm more outgoing. Actually, I suppose I'm the less outgoing.
I remember when we first met Lee Jordan. We had just been sorted into Gryffindor, and Lee had come and plonked himself beside George and started to talk to him. I remember getting so jealous. George had made a friend. That first week was hell. George wasn't mine anymore, we weren't Fred and George. I was Fred who got sulky when his twin made a new friend and George was the nicer, less possessive twin. Then Lee and George got sat together in Potions and I was sat next to stupid Alicia Spinnet and while Alicia and I had a rubbish time in Potions, George and Lee would always be having a laugh and even linking arms when we walked out. I was horrible to Lee. I used to glower at him all the time and tug George away. I was so happy when Lee Jordan went home for Christmas that year. It was just me and George, best friends again, inseparable. When Lee came back, I decided to be nice to him. After all, it was me George liked best. Me and George made really good friends with Lee, and we always included him in our jokes, but I always made sure he felt a tiny bit left out.
I also got insanely jealous when George got his first girlfriend. Angelina Johnson. I was mean to Angelina as well, and George got really angry with me. He convinced us to switch places when he was supposed to go on a date with her, and then the unthinkable happened. I fell in love with my twin's girlfriend. When I told George, he just laughed and said I could have her, and he didn't really fancy her that much.
So, that's us. The Weasley Twins. Me, Fred, the slightly more dominant twin, the younger, meaner, more possessive twin, and George, the older, patient twin who put up with me. But George said he didn't mind it that way. He said he liked it. And I do too.
But when it all boils down, George could cope without me, but I wouldn't be able to cope without George.
'The dominant twin is usually the oldest and is often less possessive.'That's what Professor Snape said. But in our case, he got it completely wrong.
