The three Hogwarts students trudged through the snow towards a little
joke shop at the end of the street.
"Thanks for coming with me" Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione as he opened the door to let them in. All three of them stopped fast in the doorway.
"Woah" said Hermione as she looked around the cluttered shop, "It's amazing"
"Ya, I guess so" said Ron unenthusiastically as his brothers, Fred and George, walked out from behind the counter.
"So, Ron, how do like our shop?" Fred asked him with a smile, "Pretty nifty, eh? Wait a minute, why are you here?"
"Mum says I need a job" Ron replied, again very unenthusiastically.
"And you think your going to get one here?" asked George.
"Erm. well, I" Ron hesitated. Harry and Hermione, however, decided that they would rather look around the shop than listen to the Weasley brothers argue.
"Hey Harry, look at this," Hermione said, looking at a rather large, unlabeled, colorful object sitting on the shelf.
"No! Don't touch that!" yelled Fred and George together as she reached for the object. It was too late, though, she had already picked it up. Instantly she disappeared into thin air.
Ron and Harry stared at the place that Hermione had been standing in amazement. Ron turned to Fred and George, red faced, and yelled "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER??" and then instantly jumped on Fred's back and started punching him with all of the strength he could muster.
"Ow, ow," screamed Fred, "maybe I'll tell you if you, ow, get off of me!!"
George pulled a struggling Ron away from Fred and started to explain. "What Hermione just picked up was a modified time-turner. It transfers you to a certain time and place."
"Exactly what time and place does it transfer you to?" asked Harry.
"Well it depends on what it's set on when you pick it up." Fred further explained.
"What was it set on then?" asked a still rather red-faced Ron.
"How should we know?" Fred retorted indignantly.
"So let me get this straight, you've just transported Hermione to some unknown place in time in an unknown part of the world? Why did you leave that sitting on the shelf?" Harry asked.
"Well we didn't expect some idiot to come over and grab it off the shelf!" George yelled.
At this Harry jumped on George's back and started beating him as Ron did the same to Fred, both of them yelling cries of "BRING HER BACK!" interrupted only by the nastiest words they could think of. It didn't last very long though because Fred and George, being older and stronger soon threw them off their backs bringing them back to their senses.
"Um, sorry" said Harry, embarrassed, "So, um, what are we going to do?"
"Well there's not a whole lot we can do" Fred answered, wiping the blood running from his nose.
"Ya, you'll just have to hope that she can figure out how to use the time-turner," George added, also wiping away the blood trickling from his lip. "As for now, though, I think Mum needs to be informed of what you've done to me and Fred."
Ok, well that's just the beginning. Sorry it's so short! The next chapter will be longer, I promise! And more interesting. Well, that is, if I get enough feedback. Otherwise, there won't be a second chapter, so please review!
