The Wealsey's returned home with all of Fred & Georges robes and school items at two o'clock, ready for lunch. Everything was just dumped on the living room floor before the family crowded into the kitchen around the small table – save for Mom. She bustled around the room making everybody's sandwiches. Dad's first, as he had to rush of to work and then the rest of the family's together. Mom handed Dad his sandwich and he said, "Thank you Molly. I'll see you later. See you later kids."
"Bye Dad," The kids replied in unison as Dad rushed out the door.
Fred and George had only two days until they left for Hogwarts, so after lunch they went upstairs to their bedroom to pack. The boys opened their trunks and grabbed most of the clothes in their wardrobe and flung them untidily into their trunks. "I can't believe we're almost there!" George said excitedly.
"I know! Just two more days and we can say hello to magic and luxury!" Fred agreed. He'd always dreamed about going to Hogwarts, ever since he was little, around the age of five. He'd been looking forward to using magic and living in luxury.
The next two days went extremely slowly for the Weasley twins. They had nothing to do, except sit around and wait. They did chores for their mother, read through some of their school books and playfully bullied their little brother. Doing the latter made the time go quicker than the former two as the nine year olds responses were hilarious to the two.
During the Thursday night of the 31st August, Fred and George Weasley could not sleep. They spoke to each through the night about Hogwarts, spells, potions and all sorts.
At about 5am, they both fell into a much needed, dreamless sleep, only to be awoken by their mother four hours later.
"Wake up boys, time for school!" Mom sang, waking both boys up as she entered their bedroom. George was up and downstairs in an instant. Fred however, stayed in bed a little longer. One of the few things that were different between the twins, Fred loved his sleep; it always takes him a while to get out of bed – no matter what was happening the next day.
