The True Value of a Laugh

Summary: Instead of Harry being the same age as Ron and Hermione, What if he was the same age as Fred and George Weasley? Watch, as these three, along with their friend Lee, become the newest Marauders of Hogwarts! This might become a slash with FWxHPxGW

Paring: Maybe future Fred x Harry x George

Chapter 1

"Packed with muggles of course"

Harry's head spun to where the voice was coming from to see a red-haired woman with a child on each arm walking hurriedly across the platforms. Four more redheads where following behind.

'Muggle? She must be a wizard' Harry thought and jogged after them. They stopped in front of the barrier that had the signs for platform 9 and 10.

"Ok Charlie you first, show the twins how it's done" the tallest of the redhead boys start to run straight for the barrier. Just when Harry thought that he was going to crash, the cart and person went sailing though.

"Ah excuse me, could you show me how to..." Harry gestured to the barrier as he pushed his cart over to the group.

"Its your first time getting on the platform dear? Not to worry, all you got to do is-"

"Run straight at the wall, if it doesn't like you, it won't let you on, but no worrys!" one of the twins interrupted the lady, that was oblivious their mother, well all of the kids around her looked like hers.

"Thanks… I think" Harry said, not really know whether or not he was joking. He positions himself in front of the barrier, took a deep breath and started running. Right when he got to the wall, all instinct told him to stop, but his momentum just sent him straight through.

'Wow' The extravagant scarlet train in front of him amazed Harry. All the people around him were wearing the same clothes as the people in Diagon Alley and were sending their children off. Just then, the twin redheads came through the barrier.

"Still looks the same as when we saw it last year Fred, I guess we are going to have to change that aren't we?" One of the twins spoke to the other. They spotted Harry then.

"Hey glad you got on just fine"

"We were just having a little bit of fun before"

"We hope we didn't scare you off from us"

Harry's head went back and forth between the two. It took only a second for the puzzle piece conversation to form in his head.

"Not at all, I am glad to see that I am not the only weirdo here" Harry said, raising a eye brow at the two. " I am Harry by the way, Harry Potter." both boys turn towards each other with wide eyes, but after a mini silent conversation, they nodded and turned back to him.

"We are Fred and George Weasley, newest prankers of Hogwarts!" they both said at the same time, extending a hand out each for him to take.

Not missing a beat, Harry took both hands, " nice to meet' cha"

"Fred! George!" the lady from before called waving them back over.

" That's our mum calling, we will meet you on the train, save us a seat yeah?" Fred asked Harry as George ran back over to their family.

"Sure, no problem" Harry said as he watched them go. This was his first real friends, even if they are a little weird in the way they talk. As he had no one to see him off, Harry walked over to the train and got his stuff on. The train had many medium size compartments, which were already filling up with kids. Harry quickly made his way to the first compartment he could find that was empty. After stowing away his trunk and setting Hedwig next to him, He gazed out at the platform again, feeling a lump begin to form in his throat, as he watched all the parents wishing their children good luck for the new school year.

The door opened. George and Fred walked in with another two redhead, that Harry was sure that they were their brothers.

"Harry, this is our awesome brother, Charlie, fifth year, who is also a prefect. That good two shoes" George proclaimed indicating to the teen still standing in the doorway.

"And on that note, I need to go to the perfect compartment, Please you two, stay out of trouble" Charlie sent a pleading look to the twins.

"Of course dear big brother, we will be perfect angels!" Fred announced. The last redhead that hadn't been introduced to Harry puffed out his chest.

"Don't worry Charlie, Mum told me to look after them." He said proudly, looking superiorly over at the twins.

When Charlie left, together, the twins tackled the boy to the ground and started a playful wrestling match (playful in the twins case), which in the end sent the other boy running out the compartment.

"And that was our not so awesome brother, Percy, a third year." Fred finished off as they all sat back down again. Fred sitting in front and George sitting next to Harry. George draped a arm around Harry's shoulders.

"So Harry, how is life, being famous and all?"

"I don't know, seeing that I only found out about that a week ago" Harry said bitterly, turning his head toward the window. If harry was looking, he would have saw George and Fred turn to each other again, and with another silent conversation, sent each other firm nods.

"Harry,"

" Let us tell you"

"About this world"

"We live in"

Don't know how I did. This was just something that popped into my head on a boring car ride. Help me out and leave a Review?
