Chapter Two: The First Day (Fred)
Fred awoke to a cloudy morning. "How wonderful," he muttered. Looking to his right, he saw that George was out of bed. Fred scrambled into some clothes and rushed down into the common room, where George and Lee were laughing and glancing at the older Gryffindor girls who were gabbing.
"C'mon, George, let's grab something to eat," Fred said to his brother. "Good idea," Lee replied. They wandered down to the Great Hall and sat down next to each other. "It's only thirty minutes until classes start," Percy reminded the first years. The two Weasley twins rolled their eyes. Fred grabbed for a muffin and watched George snatch up the last roll. After he did, more rolls magically appeared. "Wicked!" they said in unison.
After a while, Lee stuffed the rest of his bacon into his mouth and said, "Cwath tharth in fi inuth!" Fred, realizing what he said, jumped up and motioned for George to follow him. "We don't even have our books!" George eyed him suspiciously and said, "I thought we weren't going to care about class."
"Now, brother, that all depends on how interesting it is," Fred returned. "Good point," George said. They grabbed their books for Astronomy and Charms, the classes they would take before lunch and headed for the Astronomy tower.
"My name is Professor Sinistra. I will teach you about the wonders of space in your Astronomy classes. Without Astronomy, our society…" the professor rambled. Fred yawned and nudged George, and they played Wizard Fingers until the class was over.
Next was double Charms with the Ravenclaws. A little man stepped from behind his desk and addressed the class. "I am Professor Flitwick. Now, with Charms, we will teach you spells which will be helpful with the little things in life, things that will make those little things easier. Let's cut the chatter and start with a simple spell: Wingardium Leviosa. Who here knows what Wingardium Leviosa does?"
Two Ravenclaws raised their hands, and Tessa Bell looked like she knew it, but was afraid to raise her hand. "Miss Jessica Grey?" called Professor Flitwick. "It is the levitation spell," a girl with silvery blonde hair and light blue eyes that seemed to take everything in answered. "Correct!" squeaked Prof. Flitwick. "Take ten points for Ravenclaw! Now, who here knows the definition of levitation?"
That was easy enough for Fred. To levitate was to float. He decided against raising his hand though, especially since most of the class were raising their hands. In fact, the only other people who weren't were his brother and Lee.
Flitwick scanned the class and chose Angelina. "Levitation is an object being suspended in the air," she replied. "Correct! Take ten points for Gryffindor!" Some of the Ravenclaws looked put off, but Fred took no notice. He was noticing how Angelina's black hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail that rested perfectly on her shoulders. She was pretty good looking. Fred nodded in approval.
After lunch, it was Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, they had sometime, so Fred grabbed George and they roamed around the castle and found two secret passages from the school. However, this made them late for DAtDA class, and as they pushed open the door, a wizard was writing something down, and didn't even notice them. Five minutes later, he finally looked up.
"Oh! Right, class! I am Professor Higglepunk. I will be teaching you how to defend yourself from the Dark Arts properly. Today, we will only read the first chapter, but next class we may do something more exciting," he said.
In this fashion, the days wore on, until their first week was over. "Pretty exciting, eh, Fred?" George asked. "But…"
"We could make it better," Fred finished.
"Exactly my idea," George replied.
And so every once in a while, a class (especially a History of Magic class) would be interrupted by something, but it took teachers a while to figure out that it was the wily Weasley twins behind all of this. And so started the pranking career of the legendary Weasley twins.
