Fred and George Weasley were the greatest pranksters in Hogwarts after the famous marauders. In fact they were called The New Wave. Needless to say twins were quite proud with this title. Unwritten rule among more experienced students was that if they'll approach smiling mysteriously, you should quickly find the fastest escape, but if they'll approach smiling innocently ,then there's only one word-run!

Usually it didn't help.

At the moment they were in another detention earned because of a little accident involving Snape, Mrs. Norris and a can of pink waterproof color. Snape was beyond angry and even Dumbledore couldn't stop him when he dragged twins to the dungeons. The potions master was proud with his brilliantpunishment-boys had to categorize every single photo and document from previous years .Even better was that there was thousands of photos and lists of students. It really made the professor's day, he almost giggled and before slamming the door shut yelled: "And you're doing this in a muggle way."

„Did he just…"

„…giggle, yeah."

„Well, now I've definitely seen everything."

„It's so bloody boring, " complained Fred while gluing another photo to the album, „but I have to say that the view of Snape with pink curls was totally worth it."

„Yeah we should do this with all Slytherins and this time permanently. " There was a dreamy look on George's face for a moment.

„Can you find a photo with graduates of 1945? "

„Nope, here's 1944 and 1946 only .Maybe it's in a other box." George yawned„We should take a break."

„You're right. When does Snape come back?"

„Oh I think Snape 's enjoying his miserable life when we're locked here. So he doesn't hurry."

„Then we should do something usefulif we're trapped here for ages."

Fred raised his eyebrow „I'll hope you meant planning revenge not gluing like some firsties"

„Of course I did, my dear brother. Let's look around."

The room was messy, dirty and so dusty that they could see their footprints on the floor .Boxes of old photographs and documents were everywhere. But what draw boys' attention most was a big carved wooden closet.

„A galleon it's locked and you can't get this open. "

„Deal .Prepare to pay for your favorite brother."

„What, Percy is here? " Fred faked fainting. "By the way, thanks to Snape you don't have your wand, remember? "

George just glared him. „But, my dearest one, there is a teeny-weeny possibility that you can find some picklocks from my top left pocket. "

„I even don't want to know why you are carrying these with yourself all the time. "

„Ha! You can't pretend they weren't useful when we needed to borrow Filch's socks. "

„I have to admit that's right. But if you want my money hurry up."

Three minutes and forty five seconds later George finished.

„A bit rusty, aren't you? "

„Shut it, at least I'm richer than you now. "

„Well technically no. You owed me a galleon so I'll take this back right now."

Curiously they peeked inside the big closet.

There was a beautiful Pensieve with a delicate graving.

Pro libertate, pro vita ,

Ad memorandum,

Ad infinitum.

(For life and freedom,

To remember

To the end of time)

„What for Merlin's beard does that mean? " whispered Fred.

But George didn't respond. In fact, he didn't even hear his brother's question. George was staring with his mouth open, „I think we should have borned years earlier. "

„Sometimes I'm afraid that you are as weird as little Loony Lovegood. By the way what are you staring at? " Fred followed his gaze. "Ohh..."

There was an old photograph. A muggle photograph.
