George, although, we'd be willing to buy them, but I don't think we have
the money. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

Chapter Three: Back to School
It was early in the morning on the 1st of September 1995. Out in the English country side there was a very strange looking house. Chickens were grazing around outside and the house itself looked like it was held together by magic, which no doubt it was. On one of the many floors in one of the many rooms there were two twin red head boys, sleeping peacefully, well, not for long.
*BANG!*
"ARGH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" George yelled as he tumbled out of bed and hit the floor with a thud.
"Um, I think I know. Apparently I drooled on a filibusters' no heat wet start firework and it exploded, that's never happened before" Fred replied.
"Yeh, well make sure it doesn't happen again!" snapped George
"Well someone's in a mood!" Fred chuckled
"Am not!! I'm just tired, that's all, just tired" came the irritated reply from George as he walked out of their room into the bathroom. He shut the door with a loud bang.
"Are too" Fred said quietly.
********** It took Fred and George around half an hour to get dressed and toddle off down to breakfast. When they arrived there Mrs Weasley was fussing around in the kitchen trying to make breakfast for everyone. Of course, there wasn't nearly as many people as there had been last year. This year only Ron, Ginny, Fred, George and Mrs Weasley were at home at this time. The rest were off at work, trying to sort out the Voldemort fiasco. Harry and Hermione had not come to stay this summer for various reasons, Harry wasn't aloud to leave his families home on the orders of both Dumbledore and the Dursley's themselves. Hermione however, much to Ron's disgust, had gone to visit Vicktor Krum in Bulgaria for the entire summer.
After the twins had finished their breakfast they went upstairs to fetch their trunks.
When all the trunks were loaded into the taxi Mrs Weasley had ordered to take Ron, the twins and Ginny to the station, they kissed Mrs Weasley and got in the car.
"Be good boys! This is your last year! Look after Ron and Ginny! And if I get any owl's home about your behaviour I'll be very disappointed" She yelled as the taxi pulled out of the driveway.
The ride to Kings Cross was quite uneventful if you didn't count pigwidgeon escaping from his cage and flying madly around the taxi. They got out of the taxi at about 10:40, grabbed some trolleys and made their way to platform 9 ¾.
"Right Ginny, you go first" said George in a surprisingly responsible voice.
"Ok, you next Ron"
"Fred, my dear brother, after you"
"And now me!"
George ran through the barrier onto the platform. The scarlet steam engine was billowing smoke into the clear morning air. He made his way over to where Fred and the rest of the Weasley's were standing.
"Hey Fred, have you seen Harry or Hermione yet?" Ron asked.
"Nup, sorry mate, you'll have to wait just that little bit longer to see your girlfriend" Fred replied.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!!" Ron bellowed
"Who's not your girlfriend?" came a soft voice from behind all the Weasley's.
"Hermione! Oh, err, um. . . no one, that is umm, that was, err Fred and George, just err, messing with my head" Ron stammered, turning red.
Fred and George where cracking up silently at this exchange. George going as far as rolling around on the platform floor.
"George Weasley! Would you get up off the floor and help us with our trunks already?!" a loud voice shattered through Fred and Georges' mirth.
"Alicia? Wow! You look great! What'd you do to your hair?" Now, it was Georges turn to blush.
"Oh you noticed! Yeh, I got it cut just the other day. What do you think?"
"I love it!" George replied eagerly while Fred sniggered in the background.
Just then Fred spotted his girlfriend Angelina Johnson walking towards them. Angelina was a tall dark skinned girl who played chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
"Fred! Will you hurry up and get Alicia's and my trunks on the train already? You to George Weasley!"
"Right away ma'am "
George and Fred then proceeded to load Angelina and Alicia's trunks onto the train. After that the twins went off to find a compartment. They weren't going to sit with their best friend Lee Jordon this year because they had heard that he was going to be late coming to Hogwarts this year. Apparently he had been in Sydney, Australia for the whole summer, and wasn't due to arrive back until the 3rd.
They found an empty compartment towards the back of the train and Fred whipped out their notebook.
"Right, so we've developed a lot of prank sweets but we still need to get to work on more actual pranking materials, I was thinking of something along the lines of hats that stick to your head and sing annoying songs into your ears for hours on end. Would be a great way to send someone mad don't you think?"
"Hmmm, does sound annoying, definitely something I'd love to try on Snape" George agreed.
"Right, so I'll jot that down then. . ."
Suddenly the door to their compartment was pushed open and Ron and Hermione appeared in the doorway.
"Can we sit here? We can't find a compartment that's empty" Ron asked.
"Sure, but where's Harry? The train's just about to leave." Fred replied
"We don't know, he hasn't arrived yet, and neither of us has seen him for the whole summer, god! I've only got one letter from him too. He said something about being moved to a safe place and that Dumbledore says not to contact him. He didn't even meet us in Diagon Alley" Hermione sounded worried.
"A safe place? Well, where's safer than Hogwarts?" Ron demanded.
"Maybe he is at Hogwarts, we'll just have to wait and see wont we?"
"I s'pose so, but what if he's in danger?"
"It's ok Hermione, I don't reckon Dumbledore would let any harm come to Harry" Fred said this in such a compassionate way that it sounded odd coming from his cheeky freckly face.
The train jerked suddenly and started to slowly pull away from the station. It gathered speed rapidly until the station was out of view.
"Well, I have the feeling that this is going to be a very eventful last year for us George"
"I agree, but I also think that we're not going to be the only people who have an eventful year"
"Yeah, I guess your right, well, we'll just have to wait and see wont we?"
"We certainly shall. Now, who's for a game of exploding snap?"
