A/N- Cue the drum roll! Here it is folks, chapter 4! I made sure this chapter had a lot of humor (though it's probably not as funny as I think it is), so here we go!
Oh and I apologize for any extreme out of characterness and grammar mistakes.
Chapter 4- Arrival
Finally, we arrived at the train station. After spending four days at home doing virtually nothing (aside from cleaning and the obvious), we had been waiting for leaving day with agonizing patience. During these four days, me and Fred made sure we had some alone time, but the days still seemed to drag by and snail speed.
"Hey, Hermione!" Ron yelled as we approached Hermione and Mr. and Mrs. Granger, her Muggle parents. Dad wasted no time rushing over to introduce himself.
Finally, the time came to go through the barrier between platform 9 and 10 to get to platform 9 ¾ (A/N- Holy specific…). Fred and I went first, followed by Ron, Harry, Hermione, and all the parents.
I was relieved when it finally came time to board the train. The crowds of people were making me strangely uneasy. We followed Ron, Hermione, and Harry onto the train. We passed a few compartments, and suddenly, Harry was pulled into a compartment. Ron and Hermione took no notice since they were I front of him. I pulled Fred to a stop in front of the offending compartment, and we peered inside. It was a startling sight to be honest. Draco Malfoy had been the one to pull Harry in. He had Harry shoved up against the wall and they were snogging like there was no tomorrow. For a moment I thought they were trying to bite each other's faces. No joke, they were pretty into it.
Fred and I managed to tear our eyes away from the scene, and began looking for Lee. We had no luck, so we decided to head on over to Ron and Hermione's compartment and let him come to us. When we slid inside, Ron asked where Harry was while we put our trunks (plus an extra for all the quills) in the overhead space.
"Don't ask us, he's your best friend," Fred said quickly, and a little too defensively.
"Last we saw him he was following you," I added, trying to make up for Fred's lack of convincingness. Conveniently, it was at that moment that Harry popped in. His hair looked messier than usual.
"Where did you disappear off to, Harry?" Fred and I asked in unison, grinning.
"Narnia," Harry said, looking red. "I want a lollipop…" he added, talking to himself.
"No kidding," I said, without thinking. Harry looked scandalized. Suddenly, Hermione started giggling. Everyone turned to look at her.
"Sorry…I just- the…Narnia…Thing…" Hermione cleared her throat and looked down blushing. Then we pretty much sat in an awkward silence until the train lurched forward. Minutes seemed to draw on forever until someone opened the compartment door. It was Lee.
"Hello, all," Lee greeted everyone with a smile. Everyone said Hello, and Fred and I stood up saying we were going with him.
"See ya," Harry said.
"Bye," Hermione waved.
"Good riddance!" Ron grinned. Fred and I followed Lee to his compartment and we all sat down. I unconsciously scooted a little closer than necessary to Fred. Lee asked how our summer was, and we pretended to be in deep thought.
"Well…" I tapped my chin.
"Ya know…" Fred finished. We exchanged a quick side glance when Lee asked if we had done anything interesting. We said no, and probably didn't look as innocent as we had hoped to. For a moment I considered maybe telling him about the last four days before getting here, but I decided against it. Some things were better left unsaid. Especially things like this.
"Oh, by the way, we finished the spell check quills. We have em packed in a separate trunk. They turned out amazing," I said excitedly.
Lee grinned. "Really?"
"Yeah, they're brilliant!" Fred said. I proceeded to tell him what it was like to actually like to use one. Lee murmured his approval, grinning like mad. We decided to change into our robes, even though it was far too early. Over the next few hours, Lee fell asleep several times, over which time me and Fred played a few games of exploding snap on the seat. After game six, we put the cards away. More time passed in silence and I was beginning to wonder if we should have just stayed in the other compartment. I was about ready to get up and just go back over there when someone entered the compartment, hopefully to save me from my boredom. It was Harry. After closing the door, he sat down right on my lap, throwing his arm over my shoulder in the process.
"Hi," he said casually.
"Gee, Harry. Flattered as I am, I must ask what you are doing," I said smiling. Fred and Lee laughed. Harry shrugged.
"Nothing… Just saying hi to my two favorite twins." He said with such sincere innocence that I had to think something was up.
"Right…" I squinted my eyes and raised my eyebrows. Fred looked at me with the exact same expression and I shrugged my shoulders. Harry looked around the compartment as though he had never seen one in his life until his eyes landed on Lee. He waved gleefully at him, seeming much more perky than usual. It was kind of creeping me out. Lee waved back slowly.
"Kay, well I'll be going then," Harry said quickly. He jumped up from my lap and bolted out the door.
"Well… Bye then?" I waved at pretty much nothing.
After ten solid minutes of talking about why Harry had decided to up and sit on me, the train had lurched to a stop, and people all over the train had begun gathering in the isle. Fred, Lee, and I stepped into the crowded isle and tried not to get trampled.
I stepped off the train after Lee and Fred and only made it a few steps before a Hufflepuff girl stopped me in my tracks and kissed me. I was a bit taken aback, so I didn't say anything, and the girl walked away grinning.
"My, my, George, is there something you're not telling me?" Lee laughed. Yes… I thought, but I didn't say anything. We continued to the carriages, but I was stopped several times along the way by three Gryffindor girls, a Ravenclaw girl, and a Slytherin boy (everyone basically already knew I was gay).
"Merlin, George! We've only been here for thirty seconds and you're getting tons of action," Fred laughed. "We aren't even inside the castle yet!" he added. I laughed, not even noticing that Lee had fallen a few steps behind.
"George, take off your robes,." He commanded.
"Whoa there, mate," I joked. "Let's wait until we get to the dorms before I strip for you." Lee burst into laughter.
"No, mate, just do it," he said still laughing. I did as I was told, and saw the source of all the kisses.
"So that's why Harry was just lounging on my lap," I said. Kiss me. You know you want to… was written in fiery lettering on the back of my robes. Conveniently, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were nearby. I started over to them, Fred right behind me.
"Harry," we said in unison when we caught up to them. Harry turned to look at me. We tried to look serious, but we couldn't help smiling.
"Hey guys," Harry said innocently.
"Hey Harry," Fred greeted.
"I see you learned a new spell," I said casually, showing him my robes. He smirked a light, playful smirk.
"Sure have, you like it?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah-"
"Totally cool-"
"Brilliant actually," I admitted.
"And as cool as it is though-" Fred started,
"But I would rather you take em off," I finished. Harry looked toward Hermione, who stepped forward and tapped my robes with her wand and said 'abominate'. The words vanished with a swirl of smoke.
"Thanks," I thanked her.
"No problem," Hermione smiled.
"So…" I looked questioningly at Harry. "Why did you-"
"Ron told me to," Harry said before I finished. Ron looked scandalized about having been sold out.
"We believe you," Fred and I said. Ron flushed.
"Well Hermione told us the spell," they muttered.
"And it was your choice to perform it," Hermione said simply. Ron reddened.
We all continued to the carriages separating into two. Harry, Ron, and Hermione in one; me Fred and Lee in another.
There it is folks! Sorry it's not my best chapter but it gets better as we go on, so hang in there. Review please! :D
