Chapter 2

Fred and Lee

"Aeris! The car is waiting for you!" Mrs. Malfoy yelled. Ick. I threw the rest of my stuff in my trunk. No point of cleaning it up since it always ends up messy after the first week of school. Draco quickly came up to carry my trunk downstairs while I had Frock in my arms and Lynn on my shoulder.

"Damn Aeris. What the hell is in here?" Draco said walking down the stairs. Mrs. Malfoy was tapping her foot at the front door while Mr. Malfoy was telling jokes to the Ministry of Magic taxi guy.

"School stuff." I said.

"Draco let's go! Your dad can't tell jokes forever!"

"MOM! I'm trying!"

"Mrs. Malfoy he's being a cry baby cause he said my trunk is to heavy."

"Draco is always a cry baby when it comes to carrying things. THAT'S HOW YOU GET STRONGER DRACO. DEAL WITH IT!" Mrs. Malfoy said. When we finally got ourselves into the car Mr. Malfoy forgot something and ran back in. A few seconds later he came out carrying a pocket watch and a cookie. When he got in the car he turned and looked at his wife. She didn't look very happy.

"What?" Mr. Malfoy said as the car turned down the road and headed towards King's Cross.

"Why did you bring a cookie?"

"I can't eat if I'm hungry?"

"Theirs fruit on the counter!"

"Ha. Do you really think I'm going to eat fruit?" Mr. Malfoy said and was about to take a bite out of his cookie when Mrs. Malfoy took the cookie, opened the window, and threw the cookie out the window.

"There now you can have fruit." She said and went back to looking out the window. Mr. Malfoy looked at us then his wife and turned back around, crossed his arms and didn't talk the rest of the trip to King's Cross.

As usual I was found by the Weasley twins and Lee Jorden as soon as I stepped on the train. Before we went through the wall Mr. Malfoy went to the Muggle bakery and bought us some cookies for the ride there and sneaked a cookie for himself which he ate when Mrs. Malfoy went to get the luggage carts. Mrs. Malfoy found out later that he ate a cookie.

"Is that chocolate on your face?" She asked.

"No. What chocolate on my face?" Mr. Malfoy said looking at Draco's trunk to make sure everything was there.

"YOU ATE A COOKIE? LUCIUS MALFOY I'LL KILL YOU WHEN WE GET HOME!" Mrs. Malfoy said as we ran through the wall to platform 9 and 3/4.

"Please you won't kill me." He said. Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy gave Draco and I hugs goodbye and we both went to our separte cars on the train.

"Aeris!" Lee said and attacked hug me. Fred and George right behind him hugged me too.

"Can't breathe!" I tried to say.

"Oh, sorry." Lee said and let go. We all walked to our normal compartment and sat down.

"How was Rome?" Fred asked while George was eying the cookie box from Mr. Malfoy.

"It was pretty! I loved it!"

"Did Dumbledore do anything stupid?" George said not taking his eyes off the cookie box.

"Nope. McGonagall yelled at a lady for making pizza to slow but other then that it was pretty good!"

All three of them didn't know I went to Rome with the Malfoys and Snape but they think I went to Rome with Dumbledore and McGonagall. So really I made Mrs. Malfoy, Mcgonagall. Mrs. Malfoy really did yell at a lady for making the pizza too slow.

"Where are they going next summer? Africa?" Lee said and we all burst out laughing imagining Dumbledore on a safari tour. After George eyed the cookie box for the past half hour I gave up and opened the box so he could have a cookie.

"COOKIES!" Lee shouted and grabbed a chocolate chip one.

"Uhh Lee shouldn't have cookies. He'll become really crazy." Fred said grabbing a sugar cookie. The compartment door opened and a curly blonde hair girl wearing pink ribbons and pink eyeshadow appeared.

"Who said they had cookies?" She asked.

"Lavender!" Fred said and tossed her a strawberry cookie. She sat down and started to eat the cookie.

"Aeris who gave you these cookies?" Lavender said with a mouthful of cookie.

"Dumbledore. He went to a muggle bakery shop and got them before we got to King's Cross Station.

"Dumbledore was at King's Cross?" Lee said reading the Daily Prophet.

"Yep. He came to see me get on the train."

"I saw Draco's mom yelling at his dad cause he ate something he wasn't supposed to." Fred said laughing.

We ate our cookies and talked about our summer until about noon when Hermione Granger appeared.

"Where's Ron and Harry?" She asked.

"Don't know. They got to King's Cross." Fred said looking at his brother.

"Maybe their in a different train car."

"Hope not on Slytherin's car." Hermione said looking nervous.

"Why would he be in that dirty car?" Lee said.

"Please he's Harry. He'll do anything to get Malfoy expel." Hermione snapped at Lee. She took a seat next to Lavender.

"Where is that damn Lunch lady?" Fred said looking in the hall.

"She isn't coming down with her cart this time. You have to go to the food car." Hermione said.

"Ah. Aeris let's go grab something to eat and Butterbeers for everyone." Fred said standing up and walking out. We both walked to the food car where we met a few other kids like Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas. Fred was pulled over by Oliver Wood who was telling him already about Quidditch practice.

"We have to win this year! Slyherin got a new seeker already." Wood said looking around making sure no spies were watching him.

"Who's the seeker?" Fred asked.

"Don't know but I'll find out soon." Wood said and slowly went back to his compartment.

"Nutcase." Fred whispered as Wood yelled at Katie Bell.

"So Aeris. You hair grew a lot over the summer. What are you and Dumbledore trying to have a hair contest?" Fred said and wrapped his arm around my neck. I brushed his arm away and smiled.

"What are you up to Weasley?" I said eyeing him.

"What? Me? Nothing!" Fred grinned. We arrived at the lunch car where we got some sandwiches and a case of butterbeer.

"FINALLY! THAT COOKIE DIDN'T EVEN LAST LONG IN MY STOMACH." Lee said grabbing a turkey sandwich and a butterbeer. We ate the food in silence until Lee looked at the back of the Prophet.

"Aeris you got a interview with Rita?" Lee asked.

"Yeah. I met her at the bookstore along with Loony Lockhart."

"Ew." All the guys said.

"Please. Lockhart is nice. He also is really popular." Lavender said looking at the paper over Lee's shoulder.

"Yeah. Popular of showing off that stupid grin." Fred said and imitated Lockhart and his famous smile.

"Hey Fred. Rita asked about you." Lee said and handed Fred the paper.

"Are you and Fred Weasley have any Love connections. O' Juicy gossip. You said that we are just best friends." Fred said giving a boyish grin over the paper. George coughed up some butterbeer and started laughing.

"You know you could mistake people and they will think your dating you two." Lavender said looking dreamy.

"You sure about that? We could hold hands in front of Malfoy and see him throw a little midget fit." Fred said looking at me. Everyone started laughing. When we were a half hour away Hermione said we should all get dressed in our robes and clean up. Lavender, Hermione and I went to get changed in the Girl's dressing room car.

"Sounds like Fred has a crush." Hermione said coming back to her trunk all dressed in her Gryffindor robes. Lavender was having trouble with a button since we heard her curse from inside the small curtain area. I already had my robes on and was at least trying to make my trunk look a little neat.

"Fred is always like that." I told Hermione.

"Aeris he likes you. I won't be surprised if Lee Jorden likes you too. Both of them are always by you." Hermione said trying to fix her bushy hair.

"Lee likes someone else."

"Well Fred likes you. Be happy. He's a cute guy. Unlike Draco."

"Ah finished getting my hair out of the button. Yeah Aeris listen to Hermione. Fred is super cute and super into you. Aww won't it be cute that they date? I would die of cuteness." Lavender said jumping up and down grinning from ear to ear. Hermione looked at her like she was crazy. Lavender saw and stopped jumping.

"Sorry." Lavender said. She threw her stuff in her trunk and left the car.

"Anyway. How was your trip with Draco?"

"It was fine."

"Aeris! Details!"

"Well we were together a lot. He took me to a beach and we rode a scooter a lot. He also took me out to dinner but his parents were at the table next to us. Mr. Malfoy kept bothering us though. Mrs. Malfoy was always yelling at Mr. Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy is like a 14 year old boy. He got in a pillow fight with us and fell in a fountain. Mrs. Malfoy was trying to pretend she wasn't married to him."

Hermione laughed for awhile.

"Mr. Malfoy is actually funny?"

"Yeah."

"I can't see that. Mr. Malfoy looks like Mr. Serious not Mr. Awesome dad."

"Draco said his dad was always like that. He's only fun when he's out with the family."

"Well I'm glad you had fun. I was afraid that you didn't based on the letters you wrote to me."

"I was too busy to write detailed letters."

"Yet you wrote a 6 page letter to Fred."

"I was at Draco's house. His house was pretty boring. I did take Draco to a pool."

"Well Fred still has the letter. I saw him read it all the time at his house. I stayed there for awhile with Harry."

"You stayed at the Weasley house?"

"Yep. It's Ginny's first year so I was with her most of the summer preparing her for school. I even made her a map of the school. Ginny likes Harry which I find cute."

We both walked back to the compartment where Fred and Lee were talking about chocolate frog cards.

"Where's George?" Hermione asked.

"He went to the Slytherin car to shoot off a few fireworks." Lavender said putting on some lip gloss.

"Made them ourselves. Weasley firecrackers. Were going to test them." Fred said handing Lee a Dumbledore trading card. George came running back into the compartment and pushed us in.

"Fred lock it! Malfoy is coming!" George said. Fred locked the door and a few seconds we heard a bang on the door window.

"WEASLEY! COME OUT HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!" We heard Draco said. We all gave silent giggles.

"Sorry! I'm busy doing laundry!" Fred said in a girl voice. Lee couldn't help himself and had to put his face into the seat to keep himself quiet.

"WEASLEY I KNOW YOUR IN THERE! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE AND FIGHT!"

"I SAID I WAS DOING LAUNDRY! COME BACK ANOTHER DAY!" Fred said in his high girl voice. We heard Draco curse and walk back to his train car. After we heard him leave we all burst out laughing as hard as we could. Lee had tears running down his face and Lavender had lip gloss on her cheek from missing her lips because she was laughing to hard.

"Funny though. I never did laundry before." Fred said in the girl voice.

The train stopped and we all ran for a carriage so Malfoy couldn't find us. Lucky for us he didn't but it didn't mean Fred and George was off the hook. Draco would find some way to get back at them. All 6 of us got into a carriage that was pulled by something invisible. We all laughed on the way there at Fred's plan if Draco found him before they stepped into the Great Hall.

"Oh Malfoy! It's so good to see you! Don't you remember? I'm your grandmama Frederian! Come and give me a kiss hello! BAM Firecracker in his face." Fred said. Lee spited out his butterbeer and started laughing.

When we arrived in the Great Hall Draco came over to the Gryffindor table and saw Fred and George.

"Which one of you shot off the fireworks on the train?" Draco said looking like he was going to spit fire at both Twins."

"First off Malfoy it's a firecracker." George said.

"I don't care Weasley. You'll both pay for it!" Draco said and started to turn.

"Hey Malfoy!" Fred said. Malfoy turned and looked at Fred.

"What?"

"You less ugly today! Did that firecracker change your face?" Fred said. Everyone around us started laughing.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! JUST WAIT TILL MY FATHER HEARS ABOUT THIS." Draco said and walked away.

"I'm awesome." Fred said clanking his glass with Lee.

In the common room Fred got a hold of Percy's prefect badge and was trying to change the P to the letter B.

"For Buttface!" Fred said and got the P to change. Ginny who was now a Gryffindor was watching her brother change the badge.

"Who stole my badge?" Percy asked looking around the room. His eyes laid on Fred.

"What?" Fred asked.

"Give me back my badge. Now"

"I didn't take your badge. Quit being a butt."

Percy took out his wand.

"Accio Badge!" And the badge flew out of Fred's hand and into Percy's.

"What does the B stand for Fred?" Percy said giving Fred a nasty look.

"B for Buttface!" Fred said. Percy tried to slap him but Fred ducked and Percy tripped over the small coffee table.

"RUN!" Fred said and we all ran to the 3rd year boy's dormitory room. Fred locked the door and started laughing when Percy came up and knocked on the door.

"Fred! Get out here now!" Percy said.

"Ginny didn't hear my Draco joke. I'll pull it on Percy." Fred whispered. Lee started to laugh silently.

"Sorry! I'm doing Laundry!" Fred said in a girl voice.

"Please you never did laundry in your life." Percy said outside.

"Well I thought should now." Fred said in the girl voice.

"You wouldn't do laundry even if your life depended on it."

A few moments of silence passed.

"I'm eating socks. COME BACK ANOTHER DAY!" Fred said.

We all fell over laughing.

"That isn't funny! You will get sick! Socks aren't good for a wizard's diet!" Percy said banging on the door.

"He actually believed me." Fred whispered.

"I change my mind! I'm watering the plants!" Fred said.

"What plants?"

"The plants out in the garden."

"YOU OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" Percy said banging on the door.

"I JUST SAID I WAS WATERING THE PLANTS IN THE GARDEN."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Then how am I talking to you?"

"I can be at two different places at once."

"OUT FRED NOW!"

"SHUT UP! MAKE ME!"

Percy knocked the door down and we all screamed.

"Here's Percy!" Fred said and we all started laughing.

"FRED YOU FIX THIS BADGE NOW." Percy said throwing the badge at him.

"Why should I? Your the one who got 12 O.W.L.S. I'm sure you can fix it!" Fred said.

Percy sniffed and grabbed his badge. He looked at the door then at Fred.

"No one will speak of this." Percy said and walked out.

We all laughed really hard at what just happened until Percy came back down and yelled at us to go to bed. We said goodnight and Hermione, Lavender, and I went downstairs and up the Girl's staircase to the second floor where the door that read 2nd years was. I put on my pj's and fell asleep after a full day of laughing. I'm surprised my laugh box didn't die.
