The Marauder Case
x-x-x
Fred and George join Zelda in solving the mystery of the Marauders.
CHAPTER 1- Smile for the Camera
Fred, George, and Zelda were in the common room playing exploding snap. Fred was losing, George was winning, and Zelda was trying not to die of boredom. She broke the silence, hoping for a distraction.
"So how's the Skiving Snackboxes going?"
George looked up, "Well, we're almost done, but the fever fudge is too troublesome; can't perfect it! We had three ickle firsties in the hospital wing because their hands got a nasty rash."
Fred turned to look at Zelda with a wicked grin, "Pomfrey was flaming,"
"Probably wanted to cut us into pieces-"
"-and feed us to the thestrals!"
The whole finish-my-twin's-sentences was so annoying sometimes, but for the most part it was hilarious. Especially when done to a certain mollycoddling Weasley.
Snickering, Zelda flipped her bangs out of her eyes, revealing her icy gray eyes. Smiling, she said, "Well maybe that's cause the hospital wing hasn't been so busy in decades! She's just one witch, ya know?"
Fred and George kept the wicked grin on their faces. "Yes, well she might want to hire an assistant because the next five years will not be easy for her."
"As long as Fred and I-"
"Oi! What about me?" Zelda cut in.
"-And you-"
"-Are in this school-"
"Merlin have mercy on us," cut in Charlie as he stepped into the Gryffindor common room. They all burst into laughter as Percy looked up from his book in mock terror.
"Aw Charlie, I'm gonna miss you when you graduate," Zelda said, getting up to hug the seventh year. Charlie chuckled and hugged her tight, "I'm gonna miss you too, Z, but I'll write you! Plus, you're gonna have to take up my position as Official Twin Controller!" Everyone laughed as the twins put on shocked and insulted expressions. Her laughter came to a stop before everyone else's, "I guess you're right, anyway I heard the position came with an amazing jacket!" She winked at Charlie, eyeing his black hoody. He slapped her hands away as she twirled her fingers in the hood strings, glaring, "Oh no you don't! You've been eyeing my hoody since the train! If you even THINK I'll give it to you then-"
Zelda pouted, sniffled, and gave Charlie her perfected guilty puppy eyes. Oh, that always worked like a charm, the poor sucker. Charlie stopped mid-sentence, hesitating, slightly baffled. Percy had gone back to his book, but Fred and George were on the edge of the couch, watching intently as if watching a good soap opera. Charlie's eyes shifted around, landing on the twins. Those two should be actors! They instantly put on identical pouts and Charlie was left to fend for himself. He let out a sigh and turned his gaze back to Zelda, "Fine… Here…" Slowly, he began to take off the hoody, revealing a gray wife-beater. Zelda smiled gleefully, torn between looking at Charlie's sculpted form and the wonderfully gorgeous hoody that was making its way into her clutches. She intently stared at the hoody, leaving Charlie's manly pecs behind. Idiot, she would later regret not paying more attention to them, but she was only 12! She would stare at his pecs over summer break!
Blink, blink. Back to reality.
"ZOMG! I LOVE YOU CHARLIE WEASLEY!" she screamed as she put the hoody on and tackled him. Well more like an attempt. He only swayed slightly, laughing with her. The twins smiled maliciously and went to Z's aide and the trio quickly made Charlie Tower collapse. Oh sweet victory! In the blink of an eye, 6th year, Justin Creevey came out of nowhere with his infamous camera and took a picture of the four of them on the ground tangled and laughing.
A/N: ok well this is a fan fiction so don't sue me if the ages aren't correct, I'm not sure whether Charlie and the twins could have been in Hogwarts at the same time so oh well. It's my fiction(: By the way, Justin Creevey is a relative of Colin Creevey. I don't like Colin, he is stalkerish and creepy. So due to the creepy Creeveys Hogwarts has many pictures XD But yeah, since I think two Creeveys will kill Hogwarts in one big camera flash, they won't be at Hogwarts at the same time. R&R please!
