Fred Weasley II

Hey guys thanks for all the views but it would be really good if you could send in some reviews. I know this one is also short but the next one is longer I promise.

Fred Weasley II watched as his cousin James made his way to the Gryffindor table where Dominique and Roxanne congratulated him. Fred desperately wanted to be in a house with James, they had been best friends since they were born. Both born trouble makers, many people in their family called them the next Fred and George. Fred liked being compared to his father and his uncle. Even though he never met his uncle, Fred felt very close to him maybe because they shared a name. Being named after his uncle who died in the war was a lot of pressure on Fred but more pressure because his uncle was one of the biggest pranksters Hogwarts had ever seen. Fred wanted to make his uncle proud and more so his dad. Fred got on with his dad very well, they shared many common interests however Fred could see how much his dad missed his brother. Fred couldn't blame him, without Roxanne he wouldn't know what to do. But sometimes Fred felt like he might just be a replacement for his Uncle, sometimes his father acted more like his brother than a dad. But Fred didn't mind too much. For now all he could hope was that no matter what happened his father will be proud of him.

"Fred Weasley II" Professor Longbottom called.

Fred walked up and turned to face all the students, he won't admit it but it was slightly intimidating. He saw James sitting at the Gryffindor table, but he seemed distracted almost as if he didn't realise it was Fred's turn now. He then saw his Sister Roxanne beaming at him proudly, he knew she would love him no matter where he was placed but being in a house with his sister would be great. He sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his head.

"Another Weasley, you never stop do you?" The hat asked rhetorically. "Interesting. With all of your family so far I have usually considered at least two houses. You seem to only suit one. Naturally mischievous and definitely brave. You remind me of your father and your uncle. Yes you'll do well in…..GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted.

Fred hopped off the stool and made his way towards the Gryffindor table which was clapping madly. He hugged his sister tight and then his cousin Dominique. He playfully slapped James on the back waking him from his daydream. Fred looked at James funnily, he was quieter than usual.

"So what was your hatstall James?" Fred asked him. James' eyes widened almost as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

"What makes you say I was a hatstall Freddie?" James asked him.

"The hat said that I was the only Weasley/Potter so far that he hadn't considered for two houses, so what house were you considered for?" Fred replied.

James remained quiet and it was clear that he didn't want to talk about it, so Fred tried focussed his attention on the last Weasley/Potter kid of the year who was about to be sorted. Why wouldn't James tell him his hatstall? They were best friends since they were born, they didn't keep secrets from one another and yet James could barely even look Fred in the eye. And then it hit him like a ton of bricks. James was almost sorted into Slytherin! No wonder he didn't want to mention anything, he was probably ashamed of himself. It doesn't matter because it's over, James is in Gryffindor and none of them are in Slytherin. Yet.

So please review and like I said the next chapter is much longer.
