Chapter 1

Fred and George stood in the library, staring up at the books, researching. It was a momentous occasion. It was the first time they'd ever stood in the library for a sensible reason. Sure, they'd been in there before. Like, there was the time in their third year when they'd charmed all the books to cause bodily harm to anyone who dared take them off their shelves. Several had been whacked over the head, time and time again, by the book, whilst others had had their fingers bitten, hard, and others had continuously dropped the book on their toe, so hard they would start hopping up and down in pain. For Fred and George, life was a joke. But not this time. This time they were serious.

For weeks now they had been plotting. They were amateur prankers. Not to those around them though, who were both sick of their pranks and longing for more of the hilarity that came with them, more often than not at the Slytherin's expense. But when Fred and George began comparing themselves to the legendary Marauders, they were amateurs all over again. They needed to learn from the masters.

So, one drunken night, George had suggested that they travel back in time to meet the Marauders and learn from them as though they were apprentices to them. Fred had replied that it was entirely possible to travel back in time, and without an ounce of sarcasm in his voice. (It is rather necessary here to remember that they were both 'out of their minds at the time' as Fred so subtly put it).

The people around them were getting scared. Fred and George hadn't pulled a single well thought out prank which wasn't a repeat from the previous years during the past four weeks. They mused to themselves over what Fred and George could be doing. They'd seen them in the library, and thought to themselves that they couldn't possibly be studying, so why the hell did they spend all their time reading books? It wasn't logical, it wasn't right. It wasn't Fred and George, the masters of prank pulling in their generation, the masterminds behind the business: Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.

Over the past four weeks, Fred and George had been researching time travel. Most of the books in the library referred to the endless Muggle experiments, where scientists tried to transport themselves to the future or past, none of the experiments or theories working. Fred and George had twice been told off by Madam Pince for their mindless guffawing at the ways Muggles thought they could time travel. Even she had laughed a little when they told her about the Muggle who had tried sticking his hand in a toaster to time travel, and they were even more shocked when they learnt that this had worked; (they weren't aware they were reading about Homer Simpson, from the famous Muggle cartoon show, 'The Simpsons', who did not actually exist in real life).

They'd also come across a few good books about successful time travelling wizards. However, none of them contained the necessary spell.

In the sixth week they came across The Book. It was an endless book, containing knowledge on whatever you wanted to read about or research. You simply had to chant the subject in your head whilst you opened the book, and if you wanted to research something else simply close the book and do the same all over again.

Fred and George now thought they were bound to achieve an O if ever they were asked to write a ten foot essay on the successes of time travelling wizards. However, they also thought that if asked to write a six inch essay on the methods of time travelling they wouldn't even receive a T.

That was before they came across The Book though. And now Fred held it in his hands. "Oi, George! Come look at this!" he shouted, ignoring the annoyed glares he received from the students who were studying. George hurried over. Fred held The Book in his hand and chanted out loud, "Time Travel Spells, Time Travel Spells, Time Travel Spells." The third time he repeated the simple sentence he opened the book. The book was full.

George examined the book and to his amazement, it was completely full of spells for time travelling, how to make them work and the concequences. And even better, they all had a hundred percent success rate.

Fred stopped on a random page and asked "This one?" George nodded.
