Hey everyone. This is the rewrite of one of my old stories that I thought could use a bit of sprucing up. I think this would also work well for the Funfair Event Guess the Name on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I wrote for Stuffed Ghost Teddy and used Boo which was the Percy Jackson crossover. I hope you all enjoy the rewrite of the first chapter.
It was a regular normal day for Fred and George as they went about business at their store Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Or as normal a day as you can get when you are dealing with Fred and George Weasley. The twins had a way of running their store much like they ran every other aspect of their lives. With a grain of chaos and plenty of jokes. They had just finished going over the books to see how sales where doing when something strange and mysterious happened.
"What are we going to do today, Gred," George Weasley jokingly asked his twin brother as he put away the accounting book for the store.
"I don't know, Forge," Fred Wealsey replied looking towards the front of their busy store. "The same thing we do every day. Try to stop Voldemort from taking over the world."
The twins stated cracking up over the slightly unhumoruous joke they had started with a couple of weeks ago after seeing a Muggle cartoon show on a TV in a Muggle store. It was called Pinky and the Brain and this was kind similar to the conversation Pinky and Brain usually had.
"Does that make me Brain?" George asked as they headed through the crowd to help with the customers.
"I think I more of the brains of the operations," Fred replied.
The bell over door rang as yet two more customers made their way into the store. The two boys weren't unlike any other boys in the store. Except they were actually quite different from anyone else in the store. These two boys were demigods from a camp in the United States called Camp Half Blood. Their names were Conor and Travis Stoll.
The two jokerster demigods looked around as though they were in all their glory. Which they really were. Their eyes lit up in glee as they took in all the joke supplies their minds could fathom.
"So Connor," Travis said placing his arm around his twin brother's shoulder, "what are we going to do today?"
"I don't know, Travis," Connor replied with a small smile stretching his face. "The same thing we do everyday. Try and cause chaos for everyone we know back at Camp Half Blood."
Fred and George looked at each other they walked past the two boys. They heard that conversation before. In fact hadn't they just had that very same conversation themselves. They studied the younger set of pranksters as they whispered among themselves. Something about these two younger boys seemed so familiar. Something about these two boys seemed similar to Fred and George themselves.
"And how can we help you two prankster extraordinaire?" Fred asked in a flourishing manner.
Connor and Travis studied the two older men in front of them. It didn't take an idiot to know that these two men had to be owners of the shop they now stood in. The man who'd pointed them to this place as one of the best ones buy pranking material had said to ask for the owners. Fred and George Weasley. He'd told them that Fred and George would be able to point them towards the best pranking material.
"We're looking for some special pranking materials," Travis told Fred and George with evil villain twirling a mustachesque smile on his face. "See we have these "friends"at our summer camp who need to be pranked very badly." The smile widened as thoughts of the Ares cabin danced through his head.
"I think we have just the thing for you," George told him putting an arm around Travis as Fred did the same with Connor and leading them over to their top shelf stuff. "All these items here can be combined to pull off the prank of the year." Almost as an after thought he added. "If you do end up pulling it off without being killed we want proof and recognition as being part of the prank."
"We will pull it off," Connor told him boastingly. "We're the best prankers there are."
Fred scoffed at this and shook his head. "No, my friend," he told the younger boy. We are the best prankers there ever was or ever will be. We're the owners of this store. Fred and George Weasley. Who are you two?"
"We're Connor and Travis Stoll," Travis said making the introductions for the two of them. He looked around as if to see if anyone else was listening in. "We're half bloods or demigods if you will from Camp Half Blood." With smile he concluded that they'd be back to shop some more from Weasley Wizard Wheezes.
Connor and Travis ended up buying all the items that Fred and George had suggested for them. After paying for the items they headed for the door arms loaded with bags of pranking goods. They had a lot of pranking to do after all.
"Those two remind me of someone," Fred told George as they watched the two boys leave the store.
"Who?" George asked curiously.
"They remind me of us when we used to go Hogwarts. So full of ideas for pranks and all kinds of mischief. It's almost making me nostalgic."
"You're right, Fred. They do remind me of us. So we can expect great things from those two boys."
Fred and George nodded as they both went to help out at the registers. It was a very busy day after all and it was about to get even more interesting as the day went on.
I hope you all enjoyed the rewrite of the first chapter.
