Chapter 1
"No more than four to a boat." Rumbled the hairy, half-giant Hagrid.
"Fred. Lee. This boat only has two people in it."
"George cant you hear, Hagrid said "no more than four to a boat" not five" said Lee.
"George is right. What's the worst thing that could happen?"
"You've convinced me." Lee laughed.
"Merlin's beard! Why did 5 of you get in the boat and more to the point, why did you two Weasleys start jumping?" asked Minerva McGonagall.
"I can answer both questions, Professor," said Fred "Firstly, there aren't enough boats."
"Honestly Professor. How were we supposed to get up to the castle with out the boats?"
"Thankyou George."
"No worries Fred."
"And secondly, how were we supposed to know that you aren't meant to jump in the boats?"
"Mr. Weasley. There are, at least there were until you sunk one, enough boats. Alice Prewett and Frank Longbottom were the only ones in their boat. One of you could have gone in their boat. And it's common knowledge not to stand in a boat, let alone jump."
"I didn't know that, did you Fred?"
"No I didn't, George. Did you Lee?"
"Nope. Did you Hagrid?"
"No. I, er, mean yes I did. Don't start trying ta confuse me, yer hear?"
"Hagrid, just go check on the other first years." Professor McGonagall said, shaking her head.
"Ok, Professor."
"As for you three," said Professor McGonagall, "you have warnings but you two Weasleys shall recive detentions and 20 points will be taken from what ever house you are placed in." And with that she led them back to the group.
After making sure that everyone was there, Professor McGonagall led them into the Great Hall, which had a ceiling that looked just like the sky outside.
"First years, when I call out your name come up and put on the sorting hat." Said Professor McGonagall.
"Maxime, Olympe."
"Hufflepuff." Shouted the hat, to the first year's surprise.
"Black, Narcissa."
"Slytherin."
"Bryce, Frank"
"Ravenclaw." So it went on till…
"Weasley, Fred."
"This isn't Fred Weasley! But it's still a Weasley." Said a slightly surprised sounding sorting hat.
"I'm Fred," said the Weasley in the hat.
"No I'm Fred." Said the Weasley in the crowd.
"FRED! GET UP THERE NOW!" Scream a voice from the Gryffindor.
"Ok, Percey. Keep your pants on."
"Gryffindor, and so is that other boy." Said the hat.
