Hi. This is my first attempt ever at a Harry Potter fanfiction. I do hope that you enjoy this story. . Umm... I'm all up for tips and stuff like that. This story is taking place during "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Also, I'm American... so sorry if I'm not good at British slang and stuff like that.
Thanks, Miko-chan.
Disclaimer: I don't own like any of these characters or places. I did come up with the OC though. ;;; Umm... anything that sounds/seems familiar is probably taken from HP. There are some quotes from the book... all these quotes are cited.
[CHAPTER ONE
The last year of Hogwarts. It's going to be interesting this year. All the pranks that'll go on. Perhaps there will be yet another Defense Against The Dark Arts professor. I walked over to the Hogwarts Express. Ah, there's Harry Potter. I glanced over at him, and noticed a dog next to him. Smiling I gave a wave towards him, "Nice dog, Harry!" (OOTP, pg. 182). Harry grinned and responded a thanks over to me. The dog wagged his tail and I noticed Mrs. Weasley, I gave her and her husband a small nod then boarded the train, making my way to a compartment.
It wasn't long before Fred and George joined me. "About time." I mentioned as their bright faces smiled towards me. "Well, you know Mum." George stated. I gave out a laugh, "Mrs. Weasley never wants anyone to leave. Such a wonderful woman she is." Fred clapped his hands, "Very true, yet annoying when she gets like that." George nodded in agreement. "Anyways, we've got business to discuss." I gave a mischief grin towards Fred, "I was waiting to find out about the latest developments." George gave a smirk taking out a bag filled with items. He pulled out what looked like a giant ear. I cocked my head to the side, "And this is?" Fred boasted with joy along with George, "One of our personal favorites."
"This may look like a dumb overgrown ear-"
"-And yes, it's not the coolest looking thing around-"
"-But! It sure does some work!"
I gave out a slight laugh, "Alright, let's test it out then." "This my friend, is none other than the extendable ear." George looked over at Fred, then over to myself, "So Lee, anyone you want to eavesdrop on?" I thought for a moment, "The compartment of Ravenclaws across from our compartment. There's a few good looking girls who were eyeing me earlier." Fred gave a smirk and George left the compartment throwing a piece of the ear into the other compartment without the girls noticing. George made it back to the compartment and sat down.
I sat there and began to listen to the girls through the extendable ear. A very cute low alto voice was heard, "--and then we went to the beach. It was a lot of fun." A higher voice was heard in the compartment, "Sounds like you had fun. Hey Eudocia, what did you do this summer?" There was a pause for awhile and then a quiet voice was heard, "Not much of anything." Three girls at the same time chimed in, "We don't believe you! You must've done something fun!" The husky quiet voice was heard again, "Really... I just stayed home doing stuff that Mother forced me to. It wasn't fun at all. I'm actually glad to be going back to Hogwarts. Well... on second thought... maybe this last year isn't going to be as good as the other years." I looked over at Fred and George and I began to speak, "Hey, she sounds pretty cute. I wonder why she doesn't seem excited about Hogwarts though." Fred and George looked at me and then George spoke up, "Who knows." Fred smirked, "We can definitely make her have fun this year though." I nodded, "Exactly what I was thinking."
The soprano girl voice was heard again, "What do you mean Eudocia? We know that you love being at Hogwarts. And every year we have a blast." The husky voice spoke again, a bit sad sounding, "You just won't understand." The alto voice was heard again, "I see! It's because you're the only one here without a boyfriend! That's gotta be it! Don't worry about it Eudocia! You'll get a great guy." Eudocia spoke, "It has nothing to do with guys. I actually find the majority to be quite boring."
Fred gave a small frown, "Obviously this girl hasn't met us!" George nodded, "I think that you're onto something Fred. She needs to meet people as charming as ourselves." I shook my head, "Yeah, yeah. Well, this is a great product. What else do you have?" George grabbed a new object out of the bag and both of the twins began to explain what it was to me. After we went through all of the new products, I looked at the guys, "So, going to market them anytime soon?" The twins both smiled, "Of course! We plan to make a killing this year!" "And we're going to be selling in the common room this year." "Lucky for us, Little Ronnikans is prefect this year with Hermione. Neither of them will stop us." "Especially Ron! He's terrified of going against us." "He knows that we could destroy his social life." "He wasn't thrilled this summer from the pranks we played on him." "And Mum wasn't thrilled either."
After awhile, the train slowed and we came to a stop. The call for the first years went out and confusion filled the entire train. "I wonder where Hagrid is." I mentioned looking at the two twins. "Yeah, Grubbly-Plank instead of Hagrid... strange." After awhile the train quieted down and we ended up leaving the train and heading towards the carriages. Getting on a horseless carriage, we eventually made our way to the Great Hall. "I've been looking forward to the feast." "When aren't you?" I thought for a moment, "Good question." The three of us laughed and we sat down at the Gryffindor table. The twins were across from myself and we awaited for the sorting. I glanced over at the Ravenclaw table, "I wonder which one of those girls is Eudocia." The twins each gave a smirk, "Shall we find out?" I thought for a second, "Nah. I just was curious if the chick is hot or not. I mean, she's the only one in her group without a chap." Fred turned around and looked at the Ravenclaw table then turned back, "Maybe she doesn't want a guy." George beamed in, "Perhaps she doesn't swing our way. Such a shame... such handsome men as ourselves not even being glanced at." I shook my head, "You two..." I then let out a laugh, "Or perhaps her parents won't let her date." Suddenly a tall, dark woman with braids sat down next to me, "Shouldn't be gossiping like that." I looked over and the twins at the same time we all said, "Angelina." Fred then started, "Why shouldn't we?" Angelina frowned, "And there we have it." The three of us looked at her like she was crazy, "What's that suppose to mean?" Katie Bell then sat down next to her, "You all just keep wondering why no girls want to go out with you." Before any of us could start talking, Professor McGonnagal placed a stool at the front of the room and everyone was silent. The ancient wizard hat that was on the stool opened his mouth and then began to sing. (song OOTP, pgs. 204-207) The hat ended his song with "I have told you, I have warned you... Let the Sorting now begin." (OOTP, pg. 207) I gave a confused look to the twins and then Alicia Spinnet began to speak, "That's awfully strange of the hat." Katie nodded her head, "Very much so. Never have I heard him try to give advice before." Professor McGonnagal then lowered her eyes to a piece of parchment and then called out the name of Abercrombie, Euan. A terrified boy stepped forward and placed the hat on his head only to be sorted into Gryffindor. Our entire table burst out in celebration. The rest of the first years were sorted and then Professor Dumbledore rose to his feet.
Professor Dumbledore extended his hands towards everyone and mentioned that it wasn't time for speech-making. He sat down and food began to come out of no where. I began to grab tons of food and eat a bunch. Fred and George also took as much as they could. We downed tons of pumpkin juice and filled our stomachs. Alicia, Angelina, and Katie looked at us like we were disgusting. "Can't you eat slower?" Katie asked with a disgusted look on her face. All three of us continued eating and said, "No." After some time, mostly everyone stopped eating and the food vanished. Dumbledore stood once again, this time starting his speech. He started going through a list of things that first years need to know, and then mentioned the dreaded name Filch, where the twins rolled their eyes and I gave a small snort. Then it came, the two changes in staff. The first one mentioned was to be expected... Hagrid wasn't here and Grubbly-Plank would be taking over Care of Magical Creatures. Not that that really matters to me. I am not taking Care of Magical Creatures, mainly because that class always bored me to death. And then the other Professor was introduced... Professor Umbridge... the new Defense Against The Dark Arts professor. I looked at the staff table and then mentioned to Fred and George that the woman in pink, who we now knew to be Umbridge looked like an ugly toad that got in some sort of accident. The twins started to laugh at the comment and Dumbledore started his next statement, only to be cut off by this new professor with a "Hem Hem". The new professor got to her feet and then began to address the whole school. We all were expecting croaking to come out of her mouth, but instead the high-pitched breathy voice was too much to handle. I couldn't take much of her voice. It was dreadful. She sounded like a little girl trying to speak like she's the muggle's Minnie Mouse and failing. I could tell that I wouldn't be able to get along with this woman.
I glanced around the room and noticed that mostly everyone had the same look as I did. Not thrilled having to listen to her. Smiling, Professor Umbridge made a statement, "I am very much looking forward to getting to know you all, and I'm sure we'll be very good friends!" (OOTP, pg. 212) I made a grunting noise and the twins looked at each other. Fred mimicked her voice, "We'll be great friends." George burst out in laughter and quickly stopped himself before getting attention. Parvati mentioned something and Lavender and herself began to break out in silent giggles. Dumbledore glanced over at our table and gave a look and we all tried to be on our best behavior. Professor Umbridge made her "Hem, hem" noise again and continued on with her speech. Which kept getting more and more boring. Finally the unwanted speech ended and a few people clapped. I'm sure that the students who clapped, clapped because it was over. I didn't even bother. As Professor Umbridge sat herself back down, Fred and George began to mimic some of her movements making myself and a few other Gryffindors around us laugh. Who could help it? This woman already gave us all a bad impression. Dumbledore then got back to his speech. He made mention of when Quidditch tryouts would be held and etc. We then all got up from the table, since the speech ended and started to leave. Fred and George both laughed as they watched their little brother call the group of first years 'midgets' and Hermione get mad at him. Classic Ron and Hermione action there.
We made it into the Gryffindor common room, and I sat down at a table. I watched as Fred and George took out a flyer and began to pin it on the notice board. "Hey, what's that?" I asked them. Fred turned around, "This? It's an advertisement." "Will be great for business." George added. I noticed them wave towards Harry and I gave a slight nod towards him myself. After they finished placing the flyer on the board, I read it. "Ah, so you're trying to get part-timers." Both of the guys nodded. Angelina yawned and looked at the three of us, "Well, us girls are heading to our dorm room." Fred smirked, "Inviting us?" Katie frowned, "Why would we want to invite you?" Fred gave a pretend hurt look on his face and placed his hand on his heart, "I am wounded." A few people in the common room looked at him like he was crazy, but then realized who it was and got back to whatever they were doing. George and myself laughed at Fred's performance. The girls rolled their eyes and left.
The next morning I woke up and got dressed. I didn't really care about looking well or anything. It's too damn early in the morning to even care about that. Well anyways, I then left towards the common room. It seems that the twins already left. Probably trying to sell their products. Whatever. I'll see them at breakfast anyways. As I made my way in the common room, I noticed that the flyer that Fred and George placed up was gone. I then made my way to the Great Hall, where I noticed Angelina speaking to Harry. I glanced around for a minute, then noticed Alicia sitting by herself. I walked over to her, "Hey." And sat down at the table. Alicia looked up at me and gave me a smile, "Hi." Before I could strike up a conversation, my two favorite guys in the world sat down. "Where have you two been?" I asked giving a slight smirk. Fred smiled, "Well, we were just taking a walk." George nodded, "Over near the Ravenclaw's table." I tilted my head to the side, "Why the Ravenclaw's table?" The two guys smirked at each other. Alicia glanced over at the Ravenclaw's table, "What'd you do over there? I don't see anyone screaming or anything of the oridinary with you two around." Fred looked at Alicia, "I'm offended. You just assume that we went over there to prank them." Alicia rolled her eyes, "If you didn't prank them, then what did you do?" George smirked, "That m'dear is classified information." Alicia then waved down Katie, who came over and sat down. Katie smiled warmly at everyone, "Hi." The few of us nodded and said hi. I then turned my attention back to the twins, lowering my voice so that the girls couldn't hear, "What exactly were you doing at the Ravenclaw's table?" Fred smirked, "Remember while being on the train?" I thought for a minute then answered, "Yea... What about it?" Fred continued, "We just were trying to find that one girl." I tilted my head to the side, "Oookay... and why exactly?" Fred gave a mischief grin, "To meet her of course! George and I are quite interested to find this Ravenclaw that isn't interested in guys." I ate my food and then looked over at the Ravenclaw table myself. At this point in time, owls were everywhere in the room sending letters. Nothing of importance came to the table. I then started to hear Ron complain about his schedule. Fred and George immediately were in a conversation with Ron, which I decided to ignore completely. I glanced over at the Ravenclaw table again, then got up and began to head towards my first class- Herbology.
I walked over to the Greenhouses by myself and then waited for the rest of the class. Professor Sprout looked at me as if I was crazy being the first person there. I decided not to care and eventually Fred and George made it in. Professor Sprout turned around and looked at Fred and George like they were crazy as well. The twins made their way over to me. George looked at Professor Sprout then turned to me, "Why's she looking at us like that?" "Dunno. She looked like that ever since I walked in. Guess she's not used to any of us being the first here." A few minutes passed, and finally more people arrived. The course was divided among Gryffindors and Ravenclaws. Fred and George began to approach a few Gryffindors, trying to sell them an extendable ear. I tagged along being fairly bored myself. Eventually Professor Sprout began. She called out for roll, and it was at the end of the roll call that Fred and George both gave mischievious smiles. "-dge Eudocia?" Professor Sprout asked. No one really was paying attention to the roll call, but Fred and George nodded towards each other and then pointed the girl out to me. It was then that I remembered that the girl on the train was named Eudocia. It took me a minute to register her looks. She was fairly small. Probably no higher than 5' 1". Her eyes were a sparkling hazel color, and her hair was a chestnut color in one braid. The braid was leaning over her left arm. I couldn't take my eyes off of her for a good two minutes. I then glanced over at both Fred and George. Fred looked back at me, and George was still looking at the Ravenclaw.
I turned my attention towards Professor Sprout, but couldn't keep myself interested in her course. So, I looked back at the Ravenclaw girl then over to Fred and George. I then wrote a small note to Fred:
'What's up with George? He's been staring at that Ravenclaw since we learned her name.' Shortly after I wrote the note, Fred got it and then looked at his twin. It was as if he didn't realize that George had been staring. I wonder where his head has been. Well Fred never sent a response... instead he hit George on the shoulder, which woke him up from his daze. Eventually, the class ended, and I walked over to Fred and George and we left together. I looked at George then to Fred and then gave out a comment, that was directed towards no one, "She is quite fetching." George immediately stopped walking then continued to walk, "Who?" I found his sudden stop interesting, "Eudocia. She's gorgeous. So strange that she's not interested in anyone." Fred then spoke up, "I wouldn't go to the extremes of 'gorgeous'. Though she is a pretty good catch." George didn't say a word. It looked as if he was deep in thought. "So George, what do you think?" I asked smirking. Fred looked at me and gave a mischief smile. George responded, "About what?" Fred placed his arm around George's shoulders, "Eudocia." George didn't answer as quickly as he normally responds, "She's ok." After walking for awhile, I made my way to Transfiguration, and the twins had a class elsewhere.
The rest of my courses were pretty boring. None of my friends were in them. Maybe tomorrow's classes will be more eventful.
Well, lucky for me, I found Fred and George in the common room. "Hey guys. What's going on?" Fred smirked as he held up a large paper bag, "Time to have fun with the first years." I smirked, "Sounds like the most fun of the day." We sat down near a bunch of first years, who looked at the bag that Fred was holding. Fred and George began to speak to them about how they'll definitely want to eat what's in this bag and using a bit of pressure to lure them in... and offering them money which helps considerably. It wasn't long before the bunch of them wanted to eat what was in the bag. Fred handed each one of them something to eat. I looked closely at the item that they gave out. It was none other than the 'Fainting Fancies'. I smirked as they ate the product and within a minute all of the first years fell unconscious to the floor. We began to laugh at the now fainted first years. It wasn't just us laughing though. A bunch of other students in the common room were laughing in hysterics. It wasn't long before Hermione rushed over and started to yell at us. Fred and George looked up at her with a bit of a mild surprise in their faces. Hermione and Fred were a bit at each others throats in a matter of seconds. Fred gave a slight glare towards Hermione, "We're paying them!" (OOTP, 253) Hermione retorted that she didn't care and it could be dangerous, and Fred gave a roll of his eyes. It was then when I jumped in, "Calm down, Hermione, they're fine!" (OOTP, 253) I inserted purple sweets into each of the first year's mouths and they began to stir. I knelt down towards some of the students on the floor, checking on them. George knelt down to a small dark-haired girl that was laying near his feet. He asked her if she felt alright, and she immediately sat up blushing. She was shaken up, and then claimed that she thinks that she's alright. Fred happily yelled out "Excellent", and Hermione was back at his throat. Eventually Hermione claimed that if Fred and George didn't stop this stuff that she was going to do something. Before she could finish her statement though, both Fred and George chimed in answering for her. Several students around laughed... I also found it to be quite hilarious. Then she threatened to write to Molly. Dang is that low or what?! I looked at the twin's faces and they seemed horrified. Who can blame them? If Molly was my mother, I wouldn't want to deal with her either! Hermione finally walked away and I frowned, "What's up her arse?" Both Fred and George smirked at my question. "I wouldn't want to know." All three of us then went into our dorm.
Fred went to shower and I sat on a bed across from George. George laid down on the bed looking up at the ceiling. I just sat there, then decided to speak up, "You know..." George continued to look at the ceiling, "Hm?" "I think that I might want to get to know her." George sat up, "Who? Hermione? You wouldn't want to get close to her." I laughed, "No, I'm not interested in Hermione. I was talking about Eudocia." George stayed still for a second then laid back down. Before George could say anything, Fred walked in with nothing but a towel around his waist. He still was extremely damp from the shower that he just took. I looked over at Fred then over at George. I then decided that I would go take a shower. I undressed myself, and jumped into the shower. Taking a shower always feels nice. The heat on the body, and it's always a place where you can just think... without anyone bothering you. I thought about Eudocia again. I don't know why my mind keeps wandering towards her. Perhaps it has to do with how odd George is acting whenever I say that name. He gets unusually quiet. Perhaps he fancies her? If he does... then what? I dunno. Guess I always thought that George would never be a guy to fancy a girl. Not that it really matters. If he likes her that's fine with me. I don't fancy her... not at all. But her hazel eyes... they really show off a sense of innocence. I took some soap and began to rub it on my bare chest. After I soaped my whole body and washed it off, I then washed my hair. Ok. I don't fancy this girl, but I do think that she's pretty. How's that? Seems to work, right? I turned off the water to the shower and then grabbed a towel, placing it around my waist. Before I walked back into the dorm, I heard Fred and George talking a bit. It was difficult to make out what all they were saying. I then decided that I would make my appearance.
Walking back into the room, I sat down on my bed. I didn't even bother getting into clothes. Actually, being completely nude... with the towel on does feel nice once in a while. Fred was standing in the middle of the room, and George was just laying on his bed. I then decided to speak, "George, the shower's yours if you want it." George sat up, "Ok." He then got up and walked out of the room. I began to dress myself. Fred then sat down on George's bed, "I think he fancies her." At this point in time, I was just wearing boxers. I probably won't put on any other clothes since the boxers are plenty for sleeping in, "He is acting odd. You must be right. Plus, he is your twin." Fred smirked, "Yeah, so up for any pranks tonight?" I nodded my head, "I'm always up for pranks. What do you have in mind?" It wasn't long before George wandered out in nothing but a towel. Fred smirked, "Any ideas George?" He stopped in the middle of the room, "About what?" "Pranks tonight." George thought for a second, "Maybe change the color of an entire house's hair?" Fred and I looked at each other, "Good one." George took off his towel and grabbed some clothes and placed them on. I threw on some grey loose pants. George looked towards the door, "Which house?" Fred smirked, "Ravenclaw." I smirked. George tilted his head to the side, "Why Ravenclaw?" "Because I dunno how to get in the other houses yet... and I don't feel like pranking our house yet." I was about to leave the room when it occurred to me that it would be difficult to make our way over there, "So... how're we going to get in there without being spotted?" Fred took out a box, "I gathered hair earlier." I thought for a second, "Okay..." Fred continued, "George and I haven't tested out this new product yet, but surely it'll work." George's eyes lit up, "Ah! The Doppleganger Donuts!" I looked at the both of them, "So what exactly are they?" Fred placed on his normal smile, "Well, you place hair in the donut, then eat it. You'll turn into that person instantly. It's just like a doppleganger." I smirked, "Clever." George beamed in, "And this one was my idea! Everyone deserves to have their own twin whenever they want!" Fred continued to speak, "We're not quite sure how long it'll last though... and if it works at all. But blimey, we need to test it out anyways." Fred took out a small bag of hair and placed some in three different donuts. He then passed me and George a donut and we all gave a cheers motion towards each other. We then ate the donuts at the same time... our bodies suddenly changing shape.

So, what do you all think? I know that I'm not a very good writer, but this idea kind of popped into my head. I was originally going to write it in my OC's point of view, but decided against that. And if it was in her point of view, I'd want her to be a Gryffindor, but her being a Gryffindor would ruin her character. So... the story is in Lee's point of view. Of course, I hope that I don't destroy his character. I've never written a HP fanfic before, so I'm kind of new to actually trying to stay in these characters. ;;; Oh, and I really do like hearing input. No flames please. Also, I'm not quite sure what character I want to have the three boys turn into. :) The bag that Fred has only contains one person's hair. I'm thinking a Professor... but what would you guys like to see? Feel free to give me ideas. And umm... thanks for reading. Oh, and about my Doppleganger Donuts... I was at lunch with my Mom the other day and the idea suddenly striked me. Yet, my Mom came up with the name. .
