I hope you all enjoy the story Here's the disclaimer: I own only the ideas you do not recognize.
Harry was struggling to get his things into the carte when he was approached by two identical redheads. "Hey kid have you ever pulled a prank," the twins asked after helping him get his things into the carte and out of the way.
The sudden question surprised him but he answered anyways. "No... well I turned my teacher's hair blue once but it was more accidental magic," Harry replied surprised at the change in conversation...then again he wasn't at the same time since they seemed like jokers by the prank they played on their mother. "I thought it was an improvement."
This had the twins sharing a look with a grin. "You will do Fred decided.
"Do for what," Harry asked surprised and slightly suspicious. He wondered just what he was getting himself into.
"For an apprentice," George said, "for us to teach the finer ways of pranking. You shell be our apprentice and we will teach you all we know."
"If you are willing of course," Fred added, "since we were told not to corrupt first years but if you say yes technically we aren't corrupting, we are educating. Then again, we rarely listen anyways so we had best corrupt you."
"Sounds interesting," Harry decided since they seemed like fun. It would be nice to have friends…and older friends who in a way could look out for him seemed even better.
"Brilliant," they said high-fiving.
Their enthusiasm was catching, and Harry grinned slightly since he could learn to like them both. It confused him that they chose Him. He was no one important and had never been sought out for anything good. "Don't you two have a brother wouldn't you want to teach him instead?"
"Cousin but everyone thinks we are brothers," Fred stated, "our parents were killed by death eaters when we were babies and so we live with our aunt and uncle. We don't get on with some of our cousins. Ron is a first year and one of them. Percy's our brother though you'd never know it."
"Whys that?"
"He is such a rule follower," George stated, "always following the rules and trying to be the perfect little prince. Real annoying prat."
"But then again we love him because he is our brother and the only older brother we got."
Neither twin was shy about their family, so they told him a bit more about them, you had to know your apprentice well. "Technically it's the three of us but we live with our aunt uncle and cousins. Our Aunt Molly was our da's big sister, she likes us calling her mom but we usually call her aunt Molly when she's not around, there's her husband Arthur again to them we say dad but usually its uncle A, her oldest son Bills a cursebreaker in Egypt, he is 21, then it is Charlie he's 19 and in Romania working with dragons. Percy's 15 and a fifth year, he's our actual brother and then it's us, we are 13 and third years, Ronald he's our cousin, he's 11 and then Ginny's 10. What about you? Do you have any siblings?"
Harry shook his head sitting back in the seat realizing he had at least some in common with the twins. "My parents died before I was 4, I live with my aunt Petunia who was my mums older sister and uncle Vernon her husband. They got a son, Dudley but we don't get on, he's 11 too. They are muggles, but my mum and dad were wizards. My names Harry by the way."
The twins gave him a grin, "Cool, so how different is the muggle world?" Fred asked since his uncle was always telling them about it.
Harry shrugged, "I couldn't tell you any more then that there's no magic. I don't know all too much about the wizarding world."
This caused the twins to grin more, "don't you worry young apprentice, we will teach you all you need to know."
The three spent the entire train ride just talking about pranks they've pulled or pranks they wanted to. The twins told him all about the castle and everything in it, which teachers were the ones to avoid, who were the funniest to annoy. By the time they were there they felt like they had been friends forever.
All too quickly, it was time for the sorting, Anthony Gold was sorted and the hall waited anxiously, Harry just rolled his eyes reminded all too much of his cousin as the boy star strutted to the front. The cheer was deafening as he was sorted into Gryffindor. The twins were just watching Harry as one by one they were called forward. "Potter, Hyderen..." McGonagall said before looking for the Potters son. She had been thinking about them lately and had been worried about the boy. Harry looked to the twins who grinned as he went to the front and sat down the hat place on his head.
''Hmm...interesting mind you have...you are intelligent, frighteningly so...cunning and ambitious...loyal...so many impressive traits Harry Potter...you are your father's son through and through...GRYFFINDOR."
Harry took off the hat as the twins grinned at him cheering and he took his place at the table, they clapped him happily on the back causing some of the teachers to pail. The Weasley twin's had clearly already made friends with the first year...the Weasley twins or as the staff knew the new generation of Prewett twins, sons of the Fabian Prewett of the Prewett twins friends with a son of a maurauder. Each group had on their own been...overwhelming but together! McGonagall suddenly regretted not retiring as all three were in her house. The school could not withstand them if they were anything like their predecessors.
The twins had already proven to be as bad as if not worse than their father and uncle. The three were talking and Harry glanced at the table. McGonagall groaned seeing the same look in Harry Potters eyes that had been in James. She had not seen the boy since his father died...but she would remember the look till the end of her days. Even with Lily's eyes she could see James mischievous looks in them.
Flitwick looked over at the deputy headmistress before chuckling. "Wishing you retired Minerva..." he asked pitying her since he saw the exact same thing as she did.
"The school will not survive the second coming of the Prewetts and Marauders," She stated, "Especially working together. I should have retired...I knew he was coming. I did not think they would meet this quickly."
Flitwick chuckled, "The terrible twins and the marauders heir, this school will never be dull with them here, worse...James Potters mischievous nature with Lily Evens brains. Can you see it..."
Minerva groaned again and this time the three who were near the edge of the table, the pranksters looked up at her. The twins winking as Harry looked at her, as if trying to place who she was. The twins whispered in his ear and his eyes lit up with laughter causing her to look at them suspiciously. The twin's grins just grew as they looked away and continued talking with the first year who seemed to be eating up every word they said.
