Chap. 1- The Demonstration
Fred shuffled the papers on the desk. "How many applications have we got Bro?" He asked dully to George sitting next to him. "About sixty. I think we should go through them and pick out ten people to meet with. Here," George handed 30 application sheets. "We'll each go through half." Fred and George went through sheets one at a time picking out the ones that seem to have good amounts of experience. Fred grinned while George was dozing off reading one. "George look at this." Fred handed George the paper, and George grinned along with him. "Kasey and Kelly huh? They are our age... and they have already managed a hotel in France before? Wow... and they are only 19 like us. And it says they are twins." Fred and George grinned at the thought. Fred said to his brother, "We definitely need to meet with them bro." "Right you are Fred, right you are."
---------------
Fred and George had put an ad in the Daily Prophet, saying they were going to hire someone to help them manage their store (Weaslys' Wizarding Wheezes) so they could have more time to make products for their shop. Over two weeks had passed and Fred and George had met with all the people who they had deemed good enough to work for them, except Kasey and Kelly. They were meeting with them today in their shop at 2:30 for an interview. Fred and George were eating at the ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley when two very pretty girls passed who looked Fred and George's age. One had shoulder length, wavy mild dark brown hair and chestnut highlights, and the other had straight, long, and very dark brown hair, almost black. George poked Fred. "Owe, what?" "Hey Fred do you think that is them?" George nodded his head in the direction of the two girls as they passed laughing. Fred frowned slightly. "Nah doubt it bro. They are too pretty to be in business managing." George frowned as he watched the girls walk into Flourish and Blotts. "Yah I guess your right."
Fred and George headed back to their shop at 2:20 for the meeting after they finished their ice cream. At 2:28 the two girls they saw earlier came into the shop walked in. They leaned on the counter, which Fred and George were standing behind talking. Fred acted casual, "May we interested you ladies in something from the shop?" George rolled his eyes. The one with the very long dark hair spoke. "Actually no. We're here for the interview. I'm Kasey and this is Kelly." George leaned on the counter staring at Kasey. "Really?" George asked her in an almost awed voice. Kasey giggled; Fred and Kelly rolled their eyes. Kelly frowned. "No we are here to smuggle all of your items and ideas to sell for our own business." Kasey glared at Kelly; George frowned and Fred laughed. Kelly smiled at Fred. "Actually I was only joking, but yes we are Kasey and Kelly, and we are here for the interview."
Fred smiled, "Well ladies if you will follow us into our office..." Fred pointed to the door and held in open for them. Kasey and Kelly walked in followed by Fred and George. They all sat down opposite each other. George spoke nonchalantly to them, "So on your application you said that you managed a hotel in France?" Kasey nodded. "Yes we did. We both speak French and we lived in France since we were little. We moved back to England last year." Fred smiled at Kelly. "Did you like living in France?" Kelly blushed. "Yes it was nice. But we were born here in London and moved when we were eight to France, but we like it better here in London. That's why we moved back."
George decided to ask why they wanted to help manage a joke shop. Kasey and Kelly grinned at each other. "Well... we are both pranksters and loved to skip classes when we were in school and such. We developed a few items. But we are skilled at paying for bills, and keeping places running, and in check." Fred smirked at Kasey, "You two are pranksters?" He asked in disbelief. "You bet cha." Kelly winked at Fred. George smiled. "Have you brought any of your developments with you?" Kasey and Kelly grinned. "As a matter of fact," Kasey started. "We actually did." Fred leaned on his elbow. "Care to show us?" Kelly got up, took a small pouch out of her pocket, and removed a handful of what looked like floo powder. She held in her hand then thrust it onto the floor, disappearing instantly and leaving a small cloud of smoke. George and Fred looked at the spot in disbelief. Kasey smirked at George. Fred yelped as something sat on his lap. Kelly appeared as another cloud of smoke was right beneath Fred's chair, and Kelly was sitting on his lap her arms around his neck. Kelly smiled at him, and he was blushing furiously. "We made that product earlier this year." "Vanishing smoke." Finished Kasey with a grin on her face. Kelly got off Fred lap and took a seat back in her chair. George looked impressed. "How did you make it?" Kelly took out the pouch again.
"In here is the powder. We started out with floo powder and changed it a bit. Instead of transporting you in the fire-""It makes you invisible." They both were grinning at Fred and George. Kelly continued, "We tested in a bit and used a complex invisibility charm, with the disillusionment charm. Then we used the opposite charms on a different set of floo powder to reappear. So the white is for invisibility and the blue works in the opposite way." Fred and George thought they had found their new managers for their store. Fred asked another question still in awe, "Have you ladies made anything else?" Kasey and Kelly's smiles grew wider on their faces. Kasey put on a pair of gloves, "Yes we have." She took out three balls and put them onto the Weasley's desk. They were a quaffle, bludger, and snitch. "Here," She motioned to the balls, "Are our Quacking Quaffles, Batty Bludgers, and Slithery Snitches." George cleared his throat. "So um what do they do?" Kasey who still had the gloves on tossed the quaffle to him. George caught it but with a loud crack and puff of black smoke George was now holding a duck. "Whoa." Said Fred stunned, staring dumbstruck at the duck in George's hands. George freaked and dropped the duck
Kasey and Kelly laughed as the duck continued to Quack. "They are set off by body heat, so you need to wear these special gloves we made to hold them without setting them off," Said Kelly. "What do the other ones turn into?" Fred asked. "Well the bludger turns into a bat, and the snitch a salamander. But they turn back after ten minutes." They all watched as the duck turned back into the quaffle. George looked at Fred who nodded, "You're hired." "Great." Said Kasey and Kelly together, "When do we start work?" Asked Kasey. George smiled, "Any time is good." They all got up, shook hands and got back up and went into the main part of the store. "Hey..." Kelly stopped, and they all looked at her. "Yes?" Asked Fred and George. "I think you guys should have a big demonstration of your products they day before the train leaves for Hogwarts... Maybe try to sell a bunch of your stuff then..." George and Fred looked at each other. "That is an excellent idea!" Fred burst out. Kasey smiled. "And while you two are demonstrating, we can be behind the counter selling the items, that way the demonstration could be going on at the same time. And you guys could demonstrate our products, and sell them if you like. Just we want credit of course." Kasey winked at George who blushed.
Kasey and Kelly had started working at the shop, and were having a great time with Fred and George. The four of them were all becoming pretty close...
---------------
Kasey, Kelly, Fred, and George walked down Diagon Alley a few days before the train to Hogwarts left, deciding where to eat. George had his arm around Kasey's waist, and Fred had his arm around Kelly's shoulders. They were all walking as a group, and decided to stop at the Leaky Cauldron. They had just ordered when someone shouted, "Hey Fred and George!" Ron, Fred and George's brother, and Harry Potter were heading towards their table. "Hey." Said Fred and George at the same time. "Who are these two you are with?" Ron asked rather rudely. "Where are your manners Ron? This is Kasey," George motioned to Kasey. "And Kelly." He motioned to Kelly. Ron blushed, "Oh hi. I'm Ron-""Fred and George's brother." Kelly cut him off. "How'd you know?" Kasey smiled, "Your brothers here told us, and of course the red hair." Ron frowned slightly. "Oh well yah... and this is my Friend Harry-""Potter." Kelly cut him off again and Ron looked really annoyed. "I'm not sure if anyone doesn't know about him, lol." They all shook hands. "So how did you guys meet Fred and George?" Harry asked them. Kasey smiled. "Oh we work for them." Ron glared at Fred and George. "You guys didn't tell me you were hiring people." George sighed. "Why would you care little bro? I mean it's not like we would've hired you or anything." All of them except Ron laughed.
Harry and Ron ate lunch with them then they all left, going back to Diagon alley. As they entered George put his arm back around Kasey's waist, and Fred did the same except his arm was around Kelly's shoulders like before. Ron became stunned, "Are you guys going out with Fred and George?" Kasey, Kelly, Fred and George blushed. George spat nastily at him, "Mind your own business bro." The truth was they were close enough to be going out, but Fred and George hadn't actually asked them out yet cause they were afraid them all working together might be a problem. And right now Fred and George's main priority was their shop. Ron frowned at him, "Well are you guys?" None of them answered. Kasey decided to change the subject. "Do you guys want to go get ice cream?" They all nodded in agreement.
---------------
The next few days past and none of them brought up the subject of dating until the day before the big presentation in Fred and George's shop. George and Fred approached Kasey and Kelly, and brought them into their office. George cleared his throat. "Ladies... I... Fred has something to ask you." Fred looked at his brother in disgust. Fred looked down at his feet and spoke. "We were wondering if you two would go out with us." Kasey and Kelly quickly whispered in each other's ears then with a loud crack they disapperated. There was another loud crack and Kelly's was sitting on Fred's lap covering his eyes with her hand, and Kasey was standing behind George's chair, both her hands over his eyes. Kasey walked around the chair and sat on George's lap. What could Fred and George do? They were both basically blindfolded and taken aback. Kasey and Kelly winked at each other, kissed the two boys then with another crack they were back in their chairs across from the boys. They all grinned at each other.
The next day arrived fast. It was 11 in the morning and they were all setting up for the demonstration. Kasey and Kelly had also convinced Fred and George to sell sweets in their shop, so at the front counter were a line of sweets thought up by Kasey and Kelly. There were Caramel Ink Blots, which were little caramel balls in ink containers that you ate, and Chocolate Wands, Peanut Butter filled Chocolate Brooms, and much more. Business was booming as usual and the sweets added to the profit. In the shop they set up a small stage, where Fred and George would do the demonstration. They were releasing the Vanishing Powder, and the qudditch changing balls today for the first time.
It was noon and they all decided to take a break and go get some lunch where they were meeting Harry, Ron, and Ginny at the Leaky Cauldron. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were waiting for them at a booth. Harry started the conversation, "So how is business going?" George grinned. "Actually business is booming, and we just made a line of sweets that came in today, and some new products. There is going to be a demonstration at the shop at three if you guys are in the mood to stop by." "Sure." The three said together. They all ate and walked back down Diagon Alley. Fred, George, Harry, Ron, and Ginny all went to Quality Quidditch Supplies, while Kasey and Kelly went into Flourish and Blotts.
Kasey and Kelly decided to look at more books on dragons and unicorns, since they wanted to start making joke items to do with magical creatures. Kelly was sitting on a bench in the shop reading a book on unicorns when a hand pushed it down. She looked up into the face of a tall boy who a sleek blond hair, who had two burly boys behind him. The boy in the front wore a smirk on his face. "Hello." He said coolly. A wrinkle appeared between Kelly eyebrows and she frowned slightly. "Um, hi." She replied. Malfoy smiled at her. "I'm Draco Malfoy. And you are?" "I'm Kelly Cormour." She said. "Well would a beautiful lady like your like to go out with me?" He asked as if he were a prize to be wanted. "Actually," Kelly started still frowning. "I have a boyfriend. Thanks."
Malfoy looked as if he was just slapped. "Really who?" "Hey Kelly!" Kelly spun around and Fred was striding towards her. "There you are." Kelly got up and kissed him on the cheek. Malfoy looked stunned, and glared at Fred. "Malfoy." Fred said coldly. "What do you and your body guards want?" Malfoy glared at him. "Nothing to do with you Weasley. That's all." Fred and Malfoy glared at each other. Kelly decided it was best to mention what Malfoy asked her out. She looked at Fred, "Draco Malfoy here just asked me out. But I told him I had a boyfriend." She put her arms around Fred's waist. Fred smirked at Malfoy. "Yep, that's right she's taken." Fred put his arm around Kelly's shoulders. "Lets go Kelly."
They walked out of the store and went into Quality Quidditch Supplies to meat up with George. "Hey where is Kasey?" George asked Kelly as they walked in. "Oh I think she said she was going to get ice cream. But I want to look around in here first, then we can go meet up with her." "Ok." Replied George. They looked around the shop for a while, staring at the new Cleansweep 12 that came out. It was a nice broom, but the Firebolt still remained the best in the market.
Meanwhile at the ice cream shop... Kasey was sitting reading about dragons while enjoying her ice cream when someone sat down next to her. She removed her gaze from the book, and looked into the face of a boy who a sleek blond hair, who had two burly boys behind him. The boy in the front wore a grin on his face. "Hello." He said casually. Kasey didn't grin but said, "Hello." In a somewhat cheerful voice. "I'm Draco Malfoy, and this is Crabbe and Goyle." He motioned to the boys behind him. "Nice to meet you." Kasey replied. "How old are you?" "I'm 19." Kasey put her elbows on the table and her chin on her hands. She smiled at Malfoy who smirked. "Did you go to Hogwarts?" "Oh no I lived in France until last year." "How was it there?" "Oh it was wonderful, I moved back to London last year." "Awesome, I was wondering-""Kasey over here!" Malfoy looked around. George was waving at Kasey, who was standing with Fred and Kelly. George strode over to them. "Kasey what are you doing?" He asked furiously. "Um... Well I was having a conversation." "Yeah Weasley. Got a problem with that?" Sneered Malfoy. "Well quite frankly I do have a problem with it considering this is my girlfriend." Malfoy stared up at him glaring. "Come on Kasey we have to finish setting up in the shop." Kasey got up.
"I must be going. Maybe we can chat some other time." Kasey and George walked back over to Kelly and Fred. Malfoy had a furious look on his face, and he left the table. Kasey, Kelly, Fred and George all headed back to the shop to finish setting up. It was 10 minutes till 3 and people where gathering in the shop, waiting for the demonstration to begin. Fred and George leaped up onto the stage, while Kasey and Kelly remained behind the counter. "Wonderful people who have come to see the demonstration!" George shouted. "Some of ours products that we are going to demonstrate you have probably seen, but we are also releasing some new ones!" A bunch of people cheered and Fred and George beamed happily. And the show began. "Hey George would you mind holding my wand while I go get the box in the back?" "Why surely Fred!"
Fred handed George his wand, which turned into a rubber chicken. A bunch of people laughed. Fred jumped off stage, and came back with a box a minute later. Fred and George took out a bucket. "First for the demonstration out of our line of Skiving Snack Boxes will be or Puking Pastilles!" George bellowed. Fred and George each took out what looked like a multi-colored pill, ate the purple end, and each barfed into the bucket. They next munched the orange half and were fine again. Almost everyone clapped. Fred talked over the clapping. "Next in the demonstration are Fainting Fancies! And if we could have Kasey and Kelly come up here to demonstrate the effect?" Kasey and Kelly walked out from behind the desk, and Fred and George pulled them up on stage. "Don't ask us how we got such beautiful ladies to go out with us! Quite frankly, even we don't know." Fred said grinning. Kasey and Kelly blushed, and a bunch of people laughed. Kelly whispered in Fred's ear, "It's your great sense of humor." And she swiftly kissed him on the cheek causing him to turn a deep magenta.
Fred and George gave each of the girls a small purple pill and they ate it. Kasey instantly fell backwards into George's arms and Kelly fell forward, but was caught by Fred. The boys put a small blue pill into each of the girl's mouths and they instantly woke up. People clapped. "Next is our Nosebleed Nougat!" The twins bellowed. And so they proceeded is showing off the rest of their Skiving Snack Boxes they had developed. Next they decided to demonstrate their Extendable Ears by eavesdropping on a conversation Malfoy was having at the very back of the shop. Malfoy was standing surrounded by Theodore Nott, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle. They were all whispering, although it didn't matter because they were heard on the extendable ears. The five of them were all too busy being preoccupied in their conversation to notice everyone else in the shop had gone quiet, listening to them.
Malfoy was talking mostly. "I mean it's like how could they get such beautiful girls to go out with them?" Theodore answered with a great sigh. "I seriously think that got that Granger girl or someone to make them a couple of love potions. I mean the Weasley's' are all such big gits..." Ron, George, Fred, and Ginny all went red, but continued eavesdropping with no notice. Pansy Parkinson took the pause to talk. "I mean they aren't that pretty even!" She was obviously jealous because she liked Malfoy, but he didn't like her back. Ginny decided they should bring them back to reality. "Hem, hem." Malfoy and the rest looked around startled, and everyone in the shop. They all flushed madly. Fred glared at Malfoy. "Well that was an interesting-""You filthy, dirty, muggle loving-"A stream of swear words were exploding from Malfoy's mouth as he raced up to the stage, plowing people out of his way. Malfoy leapt up on the stage, as Fred stood thunderstruck, rooted to the spot. Malfoy thrust his arm back and was about to punch Fred. WHAM.
Kelly's fist collided into Malfoy's nose. Malfoy fell backwards onto the stage, clutching his nose. Kelly stood in front of Fred, who had a look of awe on his face like everyone else in the shop. Malfoy was cursing under his breath, a few tears running down his face, obviously from the pain caused by the damage inflicted on him by Kelly. Kelly fists were clenched, and she was shaking with rage. "You foul worm, call Fred any of those words again and I swear you'll be sorry. And that goes for all of my friends." Kelly turned to Fred and kissed him on the cheek.
Malfoy leapt off the stage still swearing under his breath, and him and his friends left the shop, a lot of people glaring at them, or stood with their mouths opened as they left. Fred and George finally became aware of the demonstration and started talking again. "Well... um... On with the demonstration!" George chuckled, and scratched the back of his head. The demonstrated the Quacking Quaffles and Batty Bludgers. Everyone applauded when the balls turned into animals. "Next!" Beamed Fed, "Our the slithery snitches! And if we could Harry come up here to demonstrate the effect please?" Harry jumped up onto the stage, and Kasey handed him his Firebolt, which they had kept behind the counter. Harry swung his leg over the Firebolt, and kicked off lightly, to make sure his head didn't hit the ceiling. Fred released the snitch and Harry caught it in seconds. And with a puff of black smoke, the snitch was now a salamander stationed in Harry's palm. He landed next to George and opened his hand. The salamander lay there, and people clapped. Harry placed the salamander in the box, gave his broom back to Kasey, and leapt off the stage back into the crowd.
"And last for our demonstration! Is..." Fred and George took out a pouch in, grabbed a handful of powder and thrust it onto the floor, disappearing instantly, with a blast of smoke. Almost everyone gasped. With another spurt of smoke the twins reappeared, their arms high in the air waiting for applause. Everyone instantly applauded and cheered. "Vanishing Powder!" Boomed the twins over the applause. Kasey and Kelly climbed up onto stage. "The demonstration is now over! We hope you have enjoyed it!" Kelly nodded. "A new line of our sweets can also now be purchased at the counter! Help yourselves to anything there, and then get in line to purchase it! Price tags are on all of our items, so please don't come up and ask the price. And one more thing... Remember to have fun!" Everyone clapped and started picking things off the shelves to buy.
