hey everyone! I'm writing a rewrite of Two for Twins! Thank you Hitachiin-Gossip-Girl for letting me do this! I own nothing!
TING TING TING!
Professor Dumbledore clanged his spoon against his drinking goblet to grab the student's attention. On the Gryffindor table, the third year Weasley twins turned their heads to towards the headmaster and motioned for their friends to listen in as well. Then the Great Hall fell dead silent.
"Good evening, I would like to welcome you, to another year at Hogwarts," He announced. Then he rambled on for a few moments about Hogwarts and all, before he called out to Professor McGonagall, to bring in the new first years, "Everyone, please welcome our new students with care,"
Then a group of small, little, first years walked through the giant doors of the great hall. The Weasley brothers on the Gryffindor table spotted their younger brother, Ron, next to a familiar face, with shaggy black hair, round spectacles...and a scar on his head the shape of a lightning bolt.
"Oi, Fred, who is that? That scar seems familiar," George whispered to his twin. Fred searched his memory before shrugging.
Suddenly, just as she passed the twins, a small girl with big bushy brown hair and matching eyes, tripped over her own feet. On instinct, Fred reached out his arms to catch her before she met the ground. The little first year looked up at the red headed twin.
"Thank you," She whispered, shock clear in her tone. Her expression matched her tone with wide eyes and a small blush. Fred could feel her breath on his face as she was breathing heavily from shock and relief.
"No problem," Fred smiled. He helped the small first year stand upright again and retain her balance. The black haired girl next to her, tugged on the girl's robe, indicating they should keep moving to the front.
"Come on, we need to hurry up," She urged. When the girl looked at the twins, her eyes twinkled under the lights of the Hall. Being the mischievous person he is, George sent her a wink, making her stiffen a bit in confusion.
"Thank you, again," The brown haired one smiled, before following her classmate to the front of the great hall. Fred's twin looked at him and smirked.
"What was that all about?" George laughed, quietly. He couldn't help but smirk at his twin as he finished his question.
"She tripped," Fred smirked, shrugging his shoulders, "What about you? What's was with that wink of yours?"
"She seemed tense. Just wanted her to loosen up a bit," George laughed. Fred raised his eyebrow at his twin.
"You do realise you made it worse?" His twin asked, grinning. George simply just shrugged with a similar smirk.
"Already making moves on the first years Weasley's?" One of their fellow Gryffindor's snickered. He was a friend of theirs, Lee Jordan.
"Sod off," The twins muttered in sync. But they couldn't keep them-selves from smiling a bit.
"Quiet down, please!" Professor McGonagall shouted, "Before we start the banquet, you will be sorted into your houses. While you are here, your house will be like your family,"
The Great Hall went back to being silent as she began to call out names to be sorted into the four Hogwarts houses.
"Anderson, Jade!" She shouted. One of the first years, began to walk up the three-legged stool and sat on it, placing the sorting hat on her head. It looked like she would begin to hyperventilate any minute. Both of the twins realised it was that witch from before that had helped the little girl that had tripped.
The twins finally got a good look at her as she sat still on the stool. She had wavy, thick, black hair that ended almost at her waist, and showed some brown highlights underneath the lights. Her side bangs almost cover the top of her glowing green eye. She was a little short for her age but not that short.
'So her name's Jade..." George thought, smiling inwardly. He looked at her, hoping to catch her eye, but sadly failed.
The Sorting Hat didn't move from the view of the other students. From the way Jade's expression changed from hopeful, to happy, everyone guessed that the hat was stating her good points and what house she would be good in. It was beginning to take a while and most students began to get restless and started chatting quietly. But that all stopped when Jade suddenly spoke.
"Ugh, anything but that ridiculous group you call a Hogwarts house, Slytherin." The little girl, muttered loudly. The Great Hall suddenly went all silent. After all, it was… umm...disliked by some students. The twins smirked, at the strong courage this little girl had.
"Big mouth for such a little girl, eh, brother?" Fred laughed. George just smiled wider and nodded, agreeing with his other half.
Jade's expression of darkness began to change to being hopeful again. Then, the Sorting Hat finally announced her house.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The whole of Gryffindor cheered for their new comer. The girl, 'Jade' smiled as if she just won the house cup and walked over to the end of the table. She was the first new comer to get sorted into Gryffindor.
Professor McGonagall started to call out names of the students again to be sorted into the houses. The twins simply chatted to each other about the pranks that they could pull this year, not bothering to pay attention to the Sorting. But one figure walking up to the stool, made the twins pay attention, again.
"Granger, Hermione!" She called. The twins looked up again to see the girl that had tripped over before. Her big bushy brown hair almost covered her brown shining eyes as she kept her head bowed. From what the twins could judge, she was slightly taller than the 'Jade' girl and the volume of her hair was thicker. Not to mention she had slightly bucked teeth.
'Hermione Granger, huh?' Fred thought to himself. Hermione sat down on the stool and eagerly put the hat on her head.
Hermione was smiling, a similar expression to Jade's hopeful face on her face. Then it immediately fell.
"Okay, so what if I'm a confusing case like 'Miss. Anderson' as you put it?" She muttered, annoyance clear in her tone.
"Miss Anderson," Fred repeated, "Isn't that, that Jade girl?" He tried to remember the girl from the Sorting Ceremony whilst he inquired his twin.
"Yeah, pretty sure," George said, furrowing his eyebrows. Fred raised a single eyebrow at his twin.
"And you remembered, why?" Fred teased. George punched his twin playfully in the arm.
"I didn't remember on purpose. She was the first one to get sorted so of course I paid attention," He smiled. They turned back towards the sorting hat, curious as to what house Hermione was about to be placed in.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The sorting hat announced. The twins cheered along with the rest of Gryffindor to welcome Hermione. She took her place at the table next to Jade. They ignored everyone around them who had greeted them and welcomed them to Gryffindor, and started talking to each other. The twins just stared at them for a few minutes, studying them to find an opening to get a chance to talk to them. But soon, they gave up, turning to talk to their own friends, not paying attention to the Sorting Ceremony, again. But they did for just this once as the name was called...
"Potter, Harry," Professor announced. The whole of the Great Hall completely shut up and stared at the little raven haired boy walking up to the Sorting Hat. He sat nervously on the stool and gently placed the Sorting Hat on top of his head.
"Is that really Harry Potter?"
"The Harry Potter?"
"Bloody hell, it's Harry Potter!"
"Woah! I get to go to school with Harry Potter!"
Everyone began whispering about the small boy. In other words...The boy who lived.
Harry looked quite a bit frightened and shocked from what the twins could see. After a few seconds, they could see Harry muttering something along the lines of 'Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin'. The twins saw Harry jump in shock. He had a very concentrated look on his face. But then, as it began to look happy, the sorting hat announced the result.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Once again the Gryffindor table cheered with joy. Delighted about the new famous person sorted into their house, the twins started cheering, "WE GOT POTTER! WE GOT POTTER!"
They saw Jade and Hermione look at them, curiously confused. The two red heads winked at them, causing them to turn away with slightly red cheeks.
"Seems they notice us, eh, George?" Fred smirked, calming down a notch.
"Well, of course. Who couldn't resist the Weasley charm?" George laughed back, grinning a lopsided smile.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The sorting hat shouted, once again. The twins looked up to see their very own little brother sit at the Gryffindor table.
"Hello, little brother!" They smiled. Ron took one glance at them before turning away, annoyed. Then he began talking to Harry.
"So ...what's on our agenda this year?" George asked. The two twins look at each other...then smirked.
~Few days later~
"OI FRED, GEORGE GET BACK HERE!"
The third year Weasley twins sprinted down the castle hallways to get away from their latest prank victim, Seamus Finnigan.
"NO BLOODY WAY, MATE!" They sneered, turning their heads to look behind them. Seamus was chasing them angrily, his hands clawing out in front of him trying to catch the twins. Also, he now had, rainbow coloured hair and a blue face like what muggles called a smurf. The bystanders around them snickered at the prank victim and cheered on for the twins.
The two redheaded Gryffindor pranksters made a sharp turn around the corner, still looking behind their backs. It seems that they had lost Seamus but they kept running with their heads turned. They tried looking forward, but once they did... It was too late.
BANG!
They looked up to find they had run into two small female, first years. Their many, many school books lay around them. Immediately the twins recognised the faces.
"Hermione!" Fred gasped, shocked.
"Jade!" George exclaimed at the same time as his twin. The two girls looked up at them, confusion etched on their faces.
"How do you know our names?" Hermione asked, curiously, looking at Fred with big round caramel eyes.
"Uhh...We remembered them from the Sorting Ceremony," Fred explained, trying hard not to trip over his words.
"Oh… uh … okay," She smiled, nodding unsurely. She bent down to start picking up her books. Jade stood next to her but she didn't budge from her standing position. She just stood there and narrowed her sharp green eyes at the twins. The twins stood uncomfortable at the receiving end of Jade's stare until Hermione pulled her down by her robes to make her help pick up the books. The twins decided to help them pick up their books. After all, it was their fault they were on the floor in the first place.
"Oh no, you don't have to help us," Hermione exclaimed, eyes as wide as plates.
"No, we're helping. Don't refuse, it's our fault anyway," Fred smiled sheepishly. A small blush crept on Hermione's cheeks. She simply smiled back and helped Jade clear up their stuff.
The twins continued to help the girls in silence. One book in particular, caught the boy's eyes. It was a manga book as muggles called it. The boys had learnt this from their father who worked for the Ministry of Magic. It was opened to a page that had a pair of red headed twins with an evil smirk on their faces.
'Wow...similarities much?' The twins thought. 'Wait...isn't this… a muggle book?'
The twins thought to word their thoughts, "Hey are you girls mu-"
"Mud-bloods?" Jade interrupted, rather rudely, "Yeah hermione is. I live with herGo ahead, tease us," She muttered sadly, lowering her head in shame.
"What!? No, we were gonna say muggle-born!" The twins exclaimed, saddened by the fact fellow Gryffindor's would refer to them as a mud-blood, the foulest name the twins could think of for a muggle-born. Hermione looked up at the two older boys.
"Wait, you're not gonna tease us?" She asked in a small voice.
"No, we would never!" Fred exclaimed, taken back.
"I guess you've only ran into the Slytherin's in this place, am I right?" George frowned. They looked confused as they nodded, clearly they did not know why the two redheads were talking to them. Then they remembered the actual topic they were talking about and their expressions turned dark.
"We have crossed paths, before," She muttered. The twins could tell the two had just been in a little disagreement with the Slytherin's, as they both had bruises and cuts on their faces. The twins wondered why they hadn't noticed those before. The two also rolled up their sleeves to reveal red marks as if they had been slapped, along with some more bruises.
Then they went back to picking up their things. The book that they had noticed before, that had two characters that had a striking resemblance to them, was still in their hands so they decided to ask what it was.
"Hey, what book is this? You have to read it from right to left, it's confusing," George muttered, flicking through the pages, confused.
"We've never seen one before," Fred added. Jade picked up the rest of her books before answering.
"That's a manga book, it's called Ouran High School Host Club," She explained, pointing towards the front page of the book where the title was written.
"They originate from Japan, that's why they're back to front," Hermione added, with a smart tone.
"They look a bit like us," George smirked, handing Jade back her book.
"Yeah, true...Are you guys known as devil pranksters around this place?" She asked, simply.
"Yeah, why?" Fred asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"They are, too, the characters I mean," Hermione spoke. Jade nudged her friend with her elbow and whispered that they should head back to the great hall.
"Yes, okay, I'm hungry, too," She smiled at her friend "We'll see you guys around,"
The two girls left, leaving the redheaded twins in daze and wonder.
"Uhh...Wait!" They rushed after the pair of girls. The redheads suddenly had the urge to keep talking to them. The two first years turned around, their hair swishing gracefully as they did.
"Umm...uh..." George struggled to come up with an excuse as to why they had called their names.
"We wanted to say sorry," Fred smiled, cutting in.
"Sorry for what?" Hermione frowned, clutching her books tighter as if worried they might once again fall at our presence.
"Well, for bumping into you of course!" Fred laughed as if the answer was obvious.
"Plus it seemed to freak you out when we said we knew your names," George added, smiling a bit.
"Apology accepted," Hermione grinned, her buck teeth slightly showing. It didn't seem to faze the twins at all though.
"So can we hang with you two?" Fred asked. Hermione nodded.
"We're heading to the Great Hall," She explained. Jade just stayed awkwardly silent.
"Hey what's the matter with you?" George asked Jade, finally noticing that she wasn't talking.
"Oh don't worry about her. She just doesn't trust easily," Hermione assured. Jade glared at Hermione then turned to the twins.
"It's alright. I've seen that I can trust you. You give of good vibes and I see it in your eyes," She smiled, her expression softening.
"What does that mean?" Fred asked, confused and worried of what the answer may be.
"Ahh...Here we go again with Jade's ESP report," Hermione sighed, "Jade's sort of a Seer. Loves astrology and horoscopes. Sort of a psychic. She can read people like a book," She explained. George and Fred opened their mouths but Jade interrupted.
"No. I'm not like that creepy Divination teacher, Professor Trelawney, so don't compare me to her." She laughed. The twins stood shocked at her before joining in with her laughter.
"Though the thing is...no one really knows about it because they never notice me," She sighed, "I'm too socially awkward."
"We noticed you!" George exclaimed, immediately causing him and his twin to blush at how eager that sounded.
"Yeah true but..." Jade spoke up. The twins and Hermione looked at her.
"Tell me the truth," She sighed, "Do you really want to hang with us or do you just pity us?"
The twins gawked at her. She really was socially awkward. And blunt for that matter…
"Of course we do," They answered. Jade's face lit up completely and her cool façade was let down. She finally started to loosen up. Jade grinned at the twins with an evil smirk.
"So … Wanna help me prank the Slytherin's?"
~That was the day we met them. The day that our future changed forever~
