One: The Time Turner
Hogwarts wasn't the same anymore. With Umbridge ruling the school like it was her empire, the children suffered greatly. The only people who got a boost were the Slytherins. Umbridge loved the whole Slyrtherin House, and in turn, the Slytherins roamed the hallways like royalty.
Fred and George sulked in the Gryffindor Commons. This had put a damper in their joke shop plans. But they could no longer stand Umbridge, and decided that it would be best if they fled from the school, even if they didn't complete school, for that year had happened to be their last year at Hogwarts, and it wasn't going the way they wanted it to go. They had promised to try and have one more adventure before they left, but the way things are going now, that most likely wouldn't happen.
The twins got up and left the commons. As they walked down the corridors, they saw students suffering from Umbridge's rule. They saw Draco Malfoy and his cronies harassing a young, second-year Hufflepuff student. The twins wanted to give Draco a good beat down, but they knew that they couldn't do anything; Draco was a Prefect and could write them up. Besides, the last time they gave Draco a beat down, it caused theirs and Harry's removal from a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and ultimately being kicked off the team by Umbridge for 'Unnecessary fighting'.
They wondered outside into the courtyard, and sat down on the benches. They looked on at the students doing homework or just relaxing in the sun on that sunny Saturday morning. As they looked on, something in the grass glistened in the morning sunlight, and as it flashed, it caught George's eye.
"Woah…What's that?"
"What's what?"
"That!"
George stood up and ran over to the spot where the shining object was. He picked it up and brought it back over to Fred. Fred hled up the object. It was a like a necklace, but the symbol at the base was like an hourglass. From their experience at Hogwarts, they knew it was a time turner. However, there was one question that surfaced.
"How did it get here?" Fred questioned.
"Could it be Hermione's?"
"No, couldn't be. Hermione returned hers to McGonagall at the end of the school year two years ago, remember?"
"Oh yeah…but then who would be stupid enough to just leave a time turner lying around?"
They stood there wondering, until a light bulb clicked on in Fred's head.
"George! Come with me!"
"Why?"
But instead of answering, Fred grabbed George's arm, and they ran back into the school, dodging confused students who looked at them in amazement. Fred didn't stop running until they reached the owlery. They kneeled over panting.
"What's…going…on…Fred?"
"You said…we should have…one more adventure…right?"
"Well yeah…"
"Well…now…we can."
They stood up, and George looked at Fred.
"So, we're going back in time?"
Fred messed with the time turner, and a mischievous smile began to spread on his face.
"Why go back in time and alter our present…when we can get a sneak peek at our futures?"
"Ooooh…now that's a good one!"
"Georgie, this is gonna be our best adventure yet!"
Fred put the time turner around their necks, gve it a bunch of turns, and the two of them stood there and watched as the room swirled them.
