Chapter Two: Common Room Conversations Over Chess

Disclaimer: Don't you people know that if I owned the Harry Potter universe, I wouldn't be doing this for free?

A/N: You like me! You really like me! Thanks for reviewing. Sorry I hadn't updated in a while. I've had a bad case of writer's block when it came to this fic plus I've been busy with school and I was just named to the newspaper staff. And I have a new roommate! She's pretty cool. BTW, this is what Fred and George were doing while Lee and Angelina were in the library.

Well, on to chapter 2!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Fred and George were sitting in the common room playing a game of chess. More accurately, George was playing a game of chess; Fred couldn't concentrate because he was too busy worrying about spending the summer with Angelina.

"What if her parents don't like me? They're rich, you know. And you know what wealthy wizarding families think about us; they think we're trash. They think – " George cut him off before he could continue rambling.

"Checkmate. Look, Fred, don't be so uptight. I'm pretty sure Angie's parents trust her judgement; if she likes you, I'm pretty sure they will, too."

"That's easy for you to say; you're spending the summer with Lee. You'll probably spend all your time learning how to care for spiders and how to speak with a Scottish accent."

"Actually, we're only going to be in Scotland until the 15th of July. Then we're off to his dad's house in England, plus two weeks in France. And you and Angelina are doing what this summer?"

"I don't know; she says it's a surprise."

"Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't answer the question. Hold on; Lee's parents are divorced?'

"Well, they don't live together, so I guess so. I'm really looking forward to meeting his sisters, though. According to him, if we're the Kings of Pranks, then they are most definitely the Queens."

"He's got to be kidding. There is no one as good as us; though he and Angelina do come close."

"He also said that his older sister is pretty cool, too. A bit more responsible than the twins, but she knows how to have a good time."

"Wait a second. His sisters are twins?"

"Yeah. Fraternal, but damn close to being identical. He told me that the only physical difference between them is their eye colour: one has brown eyes and the other has hazel. But I don't know why you care; after all, you have Angelina."

"Yeah. I have Angelina," Fred sighed. At that moment, Lee and Angelina came stumbling through the portrait hole, laughing so hard that they had tears in their eyes. The two were still cracking up as they headed to their respective dormitories. Fred turned back to his brother. "You don't think…"

"No, Fred," George said before his twin could start babbling again. "I'm pretty sure that they are just friends. Like I am with her."

"Are you trying to say that you like Angelina, too?"

"No, Fred," George said for what must have been the millionth time that hour. "You read way too much into things." He watched as his brother angrily stomped upstairs and smiled to himself. He's got it so bad, he thought.

Aria A. Bellus: Sorry. I kinda already had a love interest in mind for George. She's a character that developed while I was trying to get over writer's block and she plays a major part in stories that take place after this one. (She won't be a Mary-Sue, I swear.) But I can write you in as her rival, though.

Ashliegh: Thanks for reviewing all my stories. That means a lot coming from the definitive authority on F/A fics. I think I answered you about the other stuff already.

silver n blue sparkles: This takes place at the end of first year, so they're twelve. I think I said it in the second sentence.

Tonibelle: Thanks for the compliment. I didn't post the first version because it was really, REALLY bad. And as for the "Sugar Quill – Chipmunk" thing, you'll find out the stories behind the names sometime in the next couple of chapters
