Chapter 10: The start to an Amazing year!
After Harry had been sorted, so was Ron, (Gryffindor) Hermione (Gryffindor as well) Neville (Gryffindor as well) And some other people (Ernie Macmillan: Hufflepuff. Crabbe: Slytherin. Goyle: Slytherin) After all of the houses cheering that they got a student, the house heads lead all the first years up to their dormitories. The entrance to the Gryffindor room looked quite hi-tech, equipped with a panel where you typed in the pass code to get in! The house head, Percy (Ron's older brother. Though Ron preferred to call him a heartless git) told us that the password was: V-create. When all the first years entered, the room appeared to be... empty! No one was here, well no one except... Fred and George! "Argh! Not them! Anyone but them!" Ron started to moan, as Fred and George were his... other older brothers! "Oh hi, little bro!"
"How are you doing, little bro?" Ron's cheeks puffed up and his face turned red, embarrassed that this had just happened in front of all the first years! Percy looked around, "Fred, George, why is no one here? What are you up to this time!" Percy rushed up close, practically breathing on them, only to get shocked by their Plusle and Minun! "Yaha! Nice one!" they said, simultaneously, and hi-fived each other, although Percy wasn't exactly laughing, "Fred and George! Unless you want to get detention I suggest you stop right. Now!" although not taking Percy's words into consideration, they just laughed "Huh, yeah suuure Perce, we'll stop,"
"Just after never of course!" they both laughed at their brother, "You may be head of house, but you're not an Arceus! You're only a Celebi for goodness sake Perce!"
"So don't start thinking you can give us detentions and all that! You're still a 5th year, so you can only ever be an Arceus in 7th year!"
"Don't start getting your hopes up that Dumbledore'll pick you!" by now, all the 1st years had gone to bed, of course other than Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Shine! Percy growled, "What are you still doing here? Up to your dormatories! Now! Hurry up!" Percy wasn't in a good mood, after having his hopes shattered by Fred and George, so he wasn't exactly willing to be nice... the group thought it was better to follow his orders than do whatever they would have to do if they didn't...
"Yaaaawn! Ron, are you still awake?" Harry woke up, still stuffed after yesterday's dinner.
"Yup, still here!" Ron said, stifling a yawn,
"Hey! Don't miss me out!" Neville said jokingly,
"So Nev, I never asked, what Pokemon did you get? You too Ron, honestly I don't know yet!"
"Oh well simple really, I got an..." Neville picked up his Pokeball, and released an... Oddish!
"Dish! Odd odd! Dish!" the Oddish cried, before falling back into Neville's lap.
"Wow! Nice! I must say, it suits you really well! How 'bout you Ron?" at this question Ron kind of just looked down at the floor... "Well umm... *cough* I got a umm... I got Scabbers," Ron took out his Pokeball and released a... Rattata! "Raah Raah! Ta!" the Rattata headbutted Ron, but in sort of a 'Whoo you're leg is warm!' way. After that he snuggled up against Ron, and Ron smiled, "He's okay, I won't lie, except I was expecting to get something a little more... you know, a bit urm..." Ron looked at Rattata, trying to find the words that could say what he was feeling but not upset the little critter, "Umm, experienced in battling," Ron was satisfied that he had said the right words, and petted Rattata before returning him. Neville however, was fine with Oddish sitting on his shoulder, so he left him there. Harry opened his Pokegear, yawning a bit more before remembering, "Oh wait, shoot!"
"What is it? What's wrong with the Pokegear?" Harry looked nervously at them,
"I sorta forgot to set the map option and sync it with Hogwarts... oh jeez..." though Ron and Neville only looked at him as if he was making some sort of joke, "What? What's so funny?"
"It's only well... its not like my brothers aren't technical masterminds!" Harry looked at Ron in amazement, "Umm, what can they do?" by now Neville and Ron were giggling hysterically!
"Well mate, Fred and George can add multiple maps to your little Pokegear there," Ron paused for a moment, before revealing his, "And turn it into this!" amazing! Absolutely amazing! Harry looked at Ron's Pokegear in amazement... his brothers had changed the paint design, so instead of plain blue it was sleek black with red stripes around the perimeter. The screen looked so hi-tech, it might even be as high resolution as a computer! The tinniest of antennas was perched on the top! Spinning and spinning and spinning... The thing was a bit big but not so big it can't fit in your pocket! The perfect size! Instead of a number pad, there were letters, and the first 10 letters all corresponded to numbers! Harry had a feeling it could connect to the internet, so he might even be able to search up that cool Fanfiction site!
"Well yes of course we can transform your Pokegear!" George said, liking the fact that Harry Potter was becoming friends with the Weaslys, "But it'll cost you!" Fred said, looking actually quite happy!
"Alright... what do I have to do?" Harry was familiar that Fred and George were prank kings, so he wasn't exactly keen on doing... something, whatever that was anyway... Fred and George explained that all through the 2nd year, they had been trying to devise a strategy that would allow them to make a special cartridge on the Pokegear that would allow them to find out where certain Pokemon would be! They of course knew that some Pokemon, like Charizard, didn't appear in the wild, though they were also aware that Charmander did! "Alright... and how do I help?" Harry was confused of why and how he would help and how he could help, "Well matey, since your Harry Potter, the public wouldn't exactly refuse to give you a few of their things!" Harry was shocked,
"So you want me to... steal?" he sure was confused. He knew Fred and George pranked people, but he couldn't think of them stealing! Well actually he could, but he didn't think they would, "No No No No NO! We do not want you to steal!"
"Yeah! That would suck!"
"We simply wondered whether you would get a discount when going to the shops!" now it all made sense! "Ooooh! I see! So umm, you haven't yet explained how exactly I need to do yet..."
"Well simple really. We need you to go into 'Lain's Technology shop for all your Nerdy needs!' and buy a cartridge! They're much too expensive!" Harry looked at them, almost laughing!
"Fred! George! No need to worry! My parents left me tons on tons of money, and if I gave some to my friends, well I'm sure they wouldn't mind! So how much Pokepounds is it?" Harry said, he quite liked Fred and George, they were the jokey sort of people, but didn't make a lot of bad jokes and stupid puns, "Well its umm... about P1000-..." Harry looked at them, completely amazed at how they didn't know Harry had that much money. Harry had learned that his mother and father had been very important, though he never really figured out how. "No problem! I'll get you P1000- and then you can upgrade my Pokegear, right?"
"Why yes of course! In fact, we might add in an extra gadget for being so kind!" Harry smiled at this idea, obviously amazed at how Fred and George were technical masterminds...
