For this chapter, George's twin Fred is Fred I and George's son Fred is Fred II.

Stealing Hermione's time turner was a pretty simple task. Fred II got her talking about something, and while she was yapping away Louis and James carefully stole her time turner. It took a few tries to get where they wanted to, but in the end they managed to reach the joke shop, 1997*.

"Whoa," said Fred II, who was used to a much louder and busier shop.

The twins were not hard to find—they were right in the middle of all of the chaos. "So, I got the ring today," Fred I was saying to a slightly put-out George. Something was off about him, the boys thought—then they realized that this George had both of his ears.

"New costumers," George interrupted, seemingly glad to change the subject.

"We have new costumers all the time," said Fred I irritably. "But I really want your advice about what I should say, I don't want to sound too rude or too gushy—"

But George wasn't listening; he was strolling over to the three young Weasley boys. "Welcome to Weasley Wizard Wheezes, what are you looking for today?" he asked.

"Er…" said James. Louis didn't say a word; he looked rather nervous. Fred II, however, looked his father in the face and said eagerly, "Do you have any jobs for us?"

George looked at them oddly as his brother came to join them. Then he grinned. "Sure, why not?" he said, giving Fred I a meaningful look. "Actually, there was a job we wanted done but we don't have time to leave the shop. What are your names?"

"James."

"Louis."

"Fred."

"Get out," said Fred I suddenly, grinning. "My name is Fred, too!" He ruffled his nephew's bright red hair.

George went to the back room and came back with four large bags. One of them was full of small things; another full of one large thing; one of them felt very light and the last one felt as though it had very sharp things in it. The bags were all tied together and had an envelope attached to the front.

"You'll need these," he said, handing them the bags. "Now, can you lot Apparate yet?"

"Not legally," answered Louis.

"Alright then, we'll take you by side-along."

George and Fred I grabbed the younger Weasley boys' hands and with a quiet pop, they appeared in mysterious woods.

"Everything you need is in the envelope," said Fred I, patting said object gingerly.

"When you're done, send us an owl," said George. "Just ask around for Arabella Figg—she's vacationing in the area, she has one."

"Good luck," said Fred I, and with another quiet pop, the twins vanished, leaving the teenagers in the unknown place.

* I'm pretty sure this is the year before the final battle. If not, just pretend it is.

Also, Fred I is talking about proposing to Angelina Johnson. If you've read Forever (which I ask that you do), you'll see I believe that Angelina and Fred were engaged before Fred died and Angelina realized that she was meant to be with George.
