"This place is creeping me out." George Weasley said

"You're telling' me! I swear one of those heads looked at me "replied Fred Weasley, George's twin brother.

"Those house elf heads aren't alive, Fred. Don't exaggerate."

"Want to play Exploding Snap?"

"Sure".

After about six games, they decided to stop and head downstairs for a snack.

"Filth! Scum! Blood traitors! "

"Give it a rest, will you? Molly! Please help me shut these damn curtains" Sirius Black called

"All right, Sirius. Fine if you don't want any supper, I'll help." Molly, Fred and George's mother called back.

"Molly."

"Sirius, Fred and I will help you." Fred said.

"Thanks George."

"Only joking! I am Fred."

Sirius rolled his eyes. This was one of Fred and George's favorite jokes and it annoyed everyone. After a bit of struggling, Fred, George, and Sirius managed to shut the curtain of the portrait of Sirius's mother.

"Mum, how much longer until we leave?" complained the twins' little sister, Ginny.

"Ginny, it's only been two weeks! You'll survive until September first!

"But mum! This place is boring"

"No buts."

"Ginny, you're only bored 'cause Harry isn't here." George teased.

"You're lucky I'm under age, George."

George grinned.

"Yeah but I'm not! Ha!"

"Why you ruddy bastard!"

"Ginny, go upstairs NOW!" yelled Mrs. Weasley

Ginny glared at George, who was grinning broadly.

"I'll get you."

"Sure you will!"

"Nice." Fred told George as they grabbed apples and headed back upstairs.

"What do you think ickle Ronniekinns is doing?"George asked

"Don't know. Let's go bother him."

"Okay!"

The twins loved to bother their younger brother, Ron. They headed towards room. Fred , who could easily imitate his mother's voice, knocked and said " Ronald, supper's ready!"

"Alright ,I'm coming hold your hippogriffs!" Ron called.

Ron opened the door licking his lips.

"Hello, Ronald." Said Fred still talking in his mother's voice.

"Mind if we come in?" George asked while shoving Ron out of the way and walking in his room.

"Not funny." said Ron in a mean tone.

"Ah, little brother, you have no sense of humor."

" I do too!"

"Sure. Course you do, Ron."

Ron shut the door. As soon as he turned around he asked "Why are you in here?"

"We are bored sense less." Fred said.

"Really? I thought you were having the time of your life upstairs!" Ron said sarcastically.

Fred stuck out his tongue.

"Wait. Someone 's coming upstairs." said George.

Sure enough there was a knock at the door.

"Ron! Ron! Open up! You'll never believe whose here!" came the voice of Ron's friend, Hermione behind the door.

"Who ? Dumbledore? Harry?" Ron said opening the door.

"No! Professor Lupin!" squealed Hermione.

"Seriously?" Ron asked

Hemione nodded grinning.

"Whoa, did I hear the word Lupin?" Fred asked.

"Yes! Come on!"

Hermione and Ron bolted down the stairs not worrying about Mrs. Black's scream.

" Filth! Scum! Mudbloods!"

Looking at Fred, both twins apparated downstairs just in time to hear Lupin say "Padfoot, it's been a while hasn't it?"

"Yes, two years is quite long considering all of last year events, Moony." Sirius replied grinning.

Both twins stared at the two grown men open jawed.

"You mean you two are are the Mauraders?" Fred said almost yelling.

"What do you mean-Ohhh." said Lupin "What year?"

"First year and first week."

"Moony, what are you talking about?" Sirius asked.

"The map."

"Oh. Oh! Really? First year?"

The twins nodded still opened mouthed.

"Boys, please close your mouths. You'll catch bugs." said Lupin.

They did so.

"You mean all this time you've been Padfoot?" George asked.

"Well you never asked. Did you?" Sirius replied grinning."Come on tell us everthing you did with the map and we'll tell you what we did with it."

"Okay!" said Fred and George.
