"H-huh?" mumbled George waking up from an uneventful dream.
"Wakee! Wakee!" sang an annoyingly merry voice beyond the door, that of a creature George knew as Peeves from what his older brothers had told him about Hogwarts.
George fumbled to his alarm clock to check the time, realizing it was 3:00am he curiously he made his way out of the room. The corridor seemed sinister and mysterious; the only light emitted in the hallway was coming from the crack in the doorway at the end of it. George wondered what lay beyond that door, as it was his first night at Hogwarts and he had yet to explore its grounds. When the curious boy reached the end of the hallway he wondered whether or not he should enter.
Then he heard voices coming from the room, he listened intently "we have to do something with him, he can't stay here" affirmed a voice near the door.
"B-but" whispered a second voice, "he can't stay anywhere else, he's only safe here."
"Nonsense, the boy will be safe wherever he goes, Dumbledore is watching."
For a moment George wondered who Dumbledore was and what boy the voice was referring to.
"You both have seen the situation yourselves, he can't stay there any longer, let a-alone another year!"
"Snape's right" declared female voice George recognized as Professor McGonagall, "Harry Potter will stay where he is, until the time is right." At the sound of Harry Potter's name George felt a trickle of excitement, 'is Harry Potter coming to Hogwarts?' he wondered aloud. A moment later the door in front of him shot open revealing a very disgruntled Professor McGonagall.
"MR.WEASLEY!" she yelled while grabbing the youngster on the tip of his ear, "FIRST YOU MAKE A FOOL OUT OF EVERY TEACHER ON YOUR FIRST DAY HERE, NOW YOU'RE EAVESDROPPING?"
"N-no!" stuttered George wincing from being painfully pulled back into the room in which he slept the night before. Once the professor let go of his ear he resumed defending himself. "I wasn't eavesdropping," George said rubbing his ear, "I went into the corridor wondering why I was woken up this early and I saw this door…" George paused, uncertain about what the Professor was thinking he continued "and I was just about to leave when you found me."
"Mr. Weasley," said Professor McGonagall while observing the sleep attire of the young man standing in front of her, "get dressed and meet me in this hallway in 10 minutes, and tell that brother of yours to do the same. Oh, and when you come out bring these with you" The professor handed George two pairs of gloves. George nodded and proceeded to waking up Fred as Professor McGonogall gently shut the door on her way out of the room.
"Fred! Fred wake up! You've got to get dressed, I have so much to tell you!"
"Pink penguins…"
"Fred!"
"H-huh? What? G-george what's your hurry?" yawned Fred closing his eyes beginning to fall back into a slumber.
"FRED!!" George shook Fred with so much force that Fred jerked awake and was left dizzy once George let him go.
"Geez, can't a person get some sleep? It's like 3:15!" said Fred holding the alarm clock while pressing random buttons convinced it had malfunctioned, like most muggle appliances do.
"It's not wrong Fred. I dunno why we're up, but I think Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts!" The expression on Fred's face changed from irritation to curiosity. "I heard some teachers talking about him and wondering where he should stay until he comes here. They don't think he's safe where he is!" George declared in a single breath.
Just then the two Weasleys heard a knock at the door, "come on, boys!" said Professor McGonagall from the other side of the door.
The two boys gathered up their belongings and left the small room they had slept in to see what the professor had in store for them.
