Fred Weasley and Lee Jordan grinned as they worked on their potion - George was late for their first ever potions class, and from what the two Gryffindors had seen, their teacher would not be pleased.
George burst into the room, and everyone looked up.
"Mr Weasley." Snape began softly. "You will stay after class."
"But-Sir...I've got Transfiguration."
"Are you questioning me?" Snape hissed, making George back away. "I daresay Professor McGonagall wil not be pleased with your tardiness. On with your work!" Snape barked.
George tried to help, but try as he might he couldn't help but feel Snape's shadowy presence behind him, so he made a mistake as he worked, which caused black smoke to billow out of the Cauldron.
Snape had clearly been waiting for this, for he instantly sprung on George.
"You have been late to my class, and now you are proving yourself to be the most incompetent student I have ever taught, Mr Weasley, who do you think you are."
Most students would've been meek as mice, but George Weasley was no ordinary man.
"Isn't it strange," George turned to Fred and began to sing.
"Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror." Fred added.
"What would people say" the Twins continued
"If only they knew that I was."
"Part of some geneticist's plan (plan-plan-plan)
Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say"
Snape, momentarilly taken aback by their singing, just shrewdly watched them.
"I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Look at the way
We go out walking close together
I guess you could say
I'm really beside myself
I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)
They produced a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
Born in a science lab late one night
Without a mother or a father, just a test tube and a womb with a view
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
And I can stay at home while I'm out of town
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
Signing autographs for my fans
Come and meet the carbon copy man
Livin' in stereo, it's all right
Well I can be my own best friend and I can send myself for pizza so I say
I think I'm a clone now
Another one of me's always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
I've been on Oprah Winfrey - I'm world renowned
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
And every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
That's my genetic twin always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)."
"Ten points for Gryffindor for timewasting," Snape said simply. "And detention for you both."
Ten points was worth it, for by the end of the name, the names Fred and George Weasley were all over the school, the twins names being spoken of in hushed and reverent tones.
A/N: Song is 'I think I'm a clone now' by Al Yankovic, and characters are based on creations by J.K. Rowling. I own neither.
