The Hogwarts Express
The twins watched as King's Cross slowly disappeared. They sat down with a pack of Exploding Snap cards. Just then, the compartment door slid open, and a young boy entered. "Sorry, but do you mind if I sit with you? Everywhere else is full."
"Not at all," replied George. "By the way, we're Fred & George Weasley. "I'm Lee Jordan," said the boy.
"Want to play Exploding Snap?" asked Fred. "Sure," replied Lee. "I'll play winner." Lee then began commentating on the match. Fred won, but then the food trolley arrived. "Anything, my dears?" asked the lady. "Sure," said Lee. We'll take 6 Pumpkin Pasties, a box of Every Flavor Beans, a box of Chocolate Frogs, a pack of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, and 3 sugar quills, please." "That's 9 Galleons, 14 Sickles, & 26 Knuts.
Lee paid for the sweets, and the three boys ate happily through all five items. Just then, a group of unpleasant boys came through. "Well, well," one said. "What do we have here? A Mudblood & a pair of blood traitors? Suppose you'll want introductions. Adrian Pucey is the name, and these are Bole & Derrick."
George leapt to his feet & growled, "Get lost, Pucey. Lee & George fought Bole, Derrick, & Pucey, but were unable to beat them. Amid the chaos, Fred noticed one of Lee's textbooks open. The first spell said:
THE BODY-BIND CURSE: Will cause victim to be immediately rigid, & will be frozen for several minutes. Incantation: Petrificus Totalus. Fred seized his wand and yelled, "Petrificus Totalus! George flipped the now frozen Pucey over, while Lee kicked Bole & Derrick into the corridor.
The boys howled at the site of the three idiots & closed the compartment door. Suddenly, the doors jerked open, and a huge man came into view of the window. He yelled, "Firs' years. This way! Lee, Fred, & George followed the man into several boats, which gave them their first sight of Hogwarts.
It truly was a spectacular sight. A giant castle stood before them, as far as the eye could see. The man brought them to the castle doors, where a witch stood. Fred & George were instantly frozen. "The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," rumbled the man.
"Thank you, Hagrid," the witch said. "Welcome to Hogwarts. Now in a few moments, you will be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, & Slytherin. Triumphs will earn your House points. Rule-breaking will take them away. The House who has the most points at the end of the year wins the House Cup. Let's go."
