A/N: Ok so I tried something different here. Going with the same format as last time (it worked for this one) and the twins have been sorted seperatly, but being twins the Hat (in bold) asks them the same questions etc. and the twins either answer sperately (Fred) (George) or what they both said, which is in normal font. Got it? I had fun with this, especially my twisted Lion King reference (prize to those who find it, well of sorts) although it didn't come out until their fifth year :).
For daydreaming readhead who gave me the troll idea, TwiLyght who wanted to see Fred, Basic Mione who wanted to see the twins, and Black Frost Dragon who wanted to see Gred and Forge. Thanks for all your reviews. Also for my own baby twin bruvvers, who I make read all my stuff, and hate being referred to as "the twins" or even as "baby bruvvers" hehehe... oh the joy of being an older sister! Twins for twins! Sorry for the long note...
Fred and George Weasley
1st September 1989
"Weasley, Fred!" "Weasley, George!"
Fred walked up to the stool, not wanting to leave his twin, and put the Hat on his head.
George walked up to the stool, having already seen his twin been sorted, and put the Hat on his head.
"Aha! Another Weasley, but not only that, a Weasley twin! How very interesting."
"Please Gryffindor, Dad would kill me if I ended up in Slytherin"
"But aren't you a pureblood? All Slytherins are purebloods, you would be a perfect addition to the Slytherin house."
"But you sorted the rest of my brothers in to Gryffindor, I don't think I'd be able to face Percy if I ended up in Slytherin."
"But you sorted Fred into Gryffindor! How can you separate twins like that? That's just cruel and inhumane."
"But family members don't always end up in the same house, often they prosper away from their family."
"Not this family member"
"But you do seem to have that certain rebellious streak in your nature, a certain disregard for the rules. A prized Slytherin trait."
"Not slimy Slytherin rebellious though. For them rebellious is stabbing your friend in the back."
"Ugh! Slytherin traits, I feel diseased or something. I'd never do a Slytherin rebel thing. Too much of the whole stabbing the friend in the back thing going on there."
"Well, there has been a big demand for Gryffindor this year, and since you are one of the last to be sorted, I'm afraid I'm going to have to see some sort of proof of your Gryffindor bravery. A test of sorts one might say."
"A test?"
"Yes, a test. Now before I tell or show you I'm going to have ask you not to scream, as we don't want to put off those who are still waiting, now do we?"
"What do you mean scream?"
"Why would there be a need for screaming?"
"This isn't going to hurt is it?"
"Well, if you do it right it won't. However if you mess up, not only will it hurt but also I'm sorry but I can't let you be a Gryffindor. So on we go, are we ready?"
"I guess."
"Sure, why not. I mean how bad can it be?"
"In a few moments a mountain troll will come bursting through the doors of the Great Hall. What I want you to do is wrestle it to the ground, thus proving you are a brave and strong Gryffindor."
"WHAT?!"
"My dear boy, I asked you not to scream, my poor eardrums can't handle it. It's not as if you will be seriously injured, only maimed slightly."
"Your crazy"
"Your insane"
"Bonkers"
"Completely lost the plot"
"Wait do you even have ears?"
"That is beside the point, Mr. Weasley. Now will you fight this troll or not. There is of course always Slytherin."
"Ok maybe a troll is better than being a Slytherin."
"I guess there are worse things than fighting a troll."
"There, that's more like it, a nice bit of cooperation. Now lets see… where did I put it? Ho hum, it seems as though I have mislaid my troll, oh dear."
"Huh? How do you mislay a troll? They're so big"
"And hairy"
"And stinky"
"And man, are they ugly!"
"Right. Well anyway, it seems as though you can't be tested today. Although you did seem to be prepared to fight said troll…"
"Anything is better than being a slimy Slytherin."
"Quite, so instead you shall be tested on how your bravery is tested throughout your time at Hogwarts. You will show me your courage in front of real danger."
"You mean like pranks? Hmmm, that could work"
"Wait! That's not what I meant. Oh dear, never mind, GRYFFINDOR!"
Fred jumped off the stool with mischievous grin to join the red and gold table, to watch his brother be sorted.
George jumped off the stool with a mischievous grin to join his brother at the red and gold table.
Oh dear, what had it started? Ah well, it's not as if it could ever be traced back to it. Could it?
