Two Sets of Twins
A/N: Finally I will start the third chapter to this story. I apologize to anyone who cares that it is so late. I haven't updated in what, 5 months or so? Also this chapter (and hopefully more to come) is (are) dedicated to PottersGirl13 who because of her kindness and enthusiasm has inspired me to write more of this story. Thank you, Geena.
I keep getting more and more reviews saying that people like this story and I've decided that today I'm going to finish this chapter and put it up no matter what (I just hope it will be good enough to make people happy). Thank you all SOOOO much it makes me feel so happy. Oh and I should mention that I don't own any characters except for the Waters family and anymore you may not recognize, thanks!
Chapter Three: George's Dream and The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black
(A/N: I'm not going to tell you every time I change P.O.V.'s because it's just too much. It should be fairly obvious at times and if it's not I hope you don't get confused. You shouldn't but you never know...)
"Hhhuuuuaaaaawwww. I am sooooo tired." Gina yawned as she stretched in bed. She thought back on the events of the night before and smiled. "Why do those guys have to have red hair?" she mumbled to herself. "I can't resist red hair."
"What's that Gina?" Fran said as she poked her head in Gina's room. "I thought I heard you say something."
"Oh, nothing. Just grumbling because I woke up so early."
"Early! This isn't early. It's almost 11 o'clock and you haven't even had breakfast today. And don't you remember we said we would hang out with Fred and George today? Well Fred owled us and said they would come by at one to show us some stuff they've made for their joke shop." Fran explained to a still very sleepy Gina.
"WHAT!! 1 o'clock! That's only two hours away and I still have to get ready! I mean I have to shower and eat and pick out what to wear and....wait a minute what am I saying? Why should it take longer than two hours? I think I'm going crazy" Gina finished off her little rant by mumbling this last part, but Fran still heard it, shook her head and went down to breakfast.
(A/N: GAH! I realized that I said they were 17 which means they don't quite have the joke shop yet because they are still in school. For the purpose of this story then they will be showing them some things that will go into their joke shop. Sorry about all that, I really need to get my timelines straight. Oh and they are not finished school yet, they still one more year to go which means they will go to Hogwarts which will make this interesting :S. Anyway, I'm really sorry for all these mix-ups and hopefully I won't have to make many more of these notes. If you're wondering why I'm just not changing it from the actual story it's because if you've already read the other two chapters you would miss out and I'm just too lazy...I almost didn't write any more on this story, but there are people who want me to continue so I'll do my best.)
It was a hot summer day and George was lying on his back on the grass. He was lying under the shade of a beautiful willow tree. Willow tree? As far as he knew they didn't have any willow trees at the Burrow. Oh well, the tree was large and gave off plenty of shade for himself and Gina. Gina? How long had she been lying beside him? 'Man' he thought 'willow trees and Gina, this is really strange'. What was even stranger was the fact that he had his arm around Gina and she was sleeping with her head on his chest. 'Now this is really weird, what's going on?' He was confused by all this, but soon realized that he was really enjoying all of it and maybe it wasn't so strange after all. But then he remembered that he had just met Gina and he really didn't know her so having her sleeping in his arms just didn't seem right. He decided he was going to wake her. "Umm...Gina?"
Fred watched as his brother rolled in his sleep and then he heard him say the words ummm...Gina. Of course Fred just laughed and waited to see what else his twin would do before he woke up and also wondered why George was saying Gina's name in his sleep. George moved some more and said "Gina, wake up." Fred was thoroughly amused by all this, but decided to wake his brother anyway.
"Hey George, who you talking too?" Fred said with a smirk on his face.
"What?" George mumbled groggily as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Talking too?" All of a sudden he sat bolt upright and realized that he had been dreaming. There was no willow tree, no sleeping Gina, and no bright sunlight. There was only his bed in his room in the burrow and Fred.
Fred had to stifle a very large laugh that was threatening to take over as he imitated George "Gina wake up. Gina you're on my arm." George was turning beat red as only the Weasley's can and threw a pillow at Fred. "Oi! It's not my fault you were dreaming and I happened to hear it. Maybe you shouldn't talk out loud in your dreams that would be the smart thing to do." He said with a snicker.
"Oh shut it you, it's not like you've never done it before. 'Oh Angelina, don't make me come over there and kiss you.' I know very well what you've always wanted to do with her, but I've never said a word, so don't start messing with me or I'll have to blackmail you." George warned with a twinkle in his eye and a smug look plastered on his face.
Now it was Fred's turn to go red. "Alright, alright, you got me, but I'll have you know that I don't fancy her anymore. I don't fancy any one. So you got nothing on me." He replied with a superior air.
"FRED, GEORGE!"
"What does that woman want now?" Fred questioned as their mother yelled up to them. George just shrugged his shoulders.
"IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH! AND YOU BOTH BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE NOON FROM NOW ON OR I'LL MAKE YOU DE-GNOME THE WHOLE GARDEN BY YOURSELVES!" There mother had such a loud voice and the twins were so used to hearing it that it seemed normal to them although it might seem to outsiders that they were getting in trouble.
"Lunch, already?" George asked. Fred replied with a chuckle "Yes dear brother, you've almost slept the day away. Oh and must I remind you that Fran and Gina will be coming over today. I owled them telling them we'd be by there house at one to show them some stuff we've invented...I thought that would be safer than having them come over here and have mom catch us with the stuff."
"Crud, I forgot all about that. Why didn't you wake me earlier?"
"Well you seemed to be enjoying your dream so I decided to watch you instead of wake you. See you at lunch." He called as he exited the room and made his way downstairs.
"Oh bother. I guess I better get dressed...now, what to wear?"
Once down stairs George noticed that the whole family had been assembled. The thing that caught his eye was the fact that not only was his whole family there, but the whole Waters' family was there as well. He was confused to say the least and still being tired he stumbled into the only empty chair...beside Gina.
"Hello everyone." He said as politely as is possible when one has jus woken up 20 minutes before.
"Good. Now that everyone is here we can get started. Dig in!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed.
After lunch was over and everyone had eaten their full, Mr. Weasley called for silence around the table. "Now George, since you were the last one down you don't know that Mr. and Mrs. Waters have been here for some time and we have been discussing the Order of the Phoenix and how we are going to spend the rest of the summer at it's headquarters. You know enough about it to know what we are talking about and we will inform you that the Mr. and Mrs. Waters are going to become members. So if you, along with all of the kids, will pack your trunks we will be on our way by this evening."
(A/N: another note, I'm sorry. I've really botched things up, but here I will attempt to fix them. I'm going to go along with the HP fifth book except for the fact that I already said that Harry is at the Burrow so that's a bit different. Hopefully from now on everything will be straight and not too confusing. :( So on with the story I guess.)
Now as everyone was packing their trunks there was a lot of talk going on. Where was the headquarters to the order of the Phoenix? Why were they going there? Were they going to be let in on what was going on, or as "kids" were they going to be kept in the dark? These questions and others raced through the minds of all the Hogwarts students as they hurried to finish their packing. No one was really talking to one another because they sensed that this was somewhat of a grave situation or at least that the topic deserved some respect.
As soon as everyone was done packing they gathered their things together in the Burrow. They were going to Floo there seeing as how that would be the easiest way to transport a lot of people without being seen by muggles.
"Hey Fran, Gina what's that on your trunks?" Fred asked with curiosity as he and George (as well as Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Harry) stared at the trunks of the two Canadian twins.
"What do you mean?" Fran asked wondering what they could be talking about.
"Oh you must mean the painting." Gina interjected as she followed the stares of the other teenagers. "Right, well our trunks looked just like yours before we left, but you see we have a friend whose dad is this amazing painter so he painted a mural on our trunks to remind us of home. It's also safe to say we'll never get them mixed up with other people's trunks!" The mural on the trunks was an interesting one. In the center of the lid there was a bright Canadian flag flanked by a wolf with and polar bear on the left side and a large male moose and black bear on the right. Flying just over the heads of the bear and moose was a magnificent flock of Canadian geese (of course these were small to look like they were farther away in the sky, but the detail was amazingly clear). Along with the wolf and polar bear were a pup and cub. In the background was on the left was the Canadian north, the beautiful blanket of snow glistening on the soft ground and the frost covered trees as the sun hits it. On the right the background was a summer theme from the dense forests of the Lake Superior area where the moose crossing signs and watch for falling rock signs are plentiful and there is very little civilization (he he and absolutely no cell phone signals). Around the front, sides, and back were waterfalls (Niagara Falls too!) and other scenery with things like beavers, squirrels, chipmunks, trilliums, and many other animals and scenes that are truly Canadian. (A/N: Eeps! I went to the Lake Superior Provincial Park on July 18-25 and it was so AWESOME! You wouldn't believe how beautiful it is until you've seen it. So many trees and if you like hiking I suggest if you live anywhere in Ontario or any where else for that matter go camping there I recommend the Agawa Bay camp sites. The Orphan Lake trail was particularly nice if you like waterfalls and is only a mere 8km long and if you like climbing you can go on the Peat Mountain trail which is 11km long and Awasee is 10km and said it took 4-6 hours to complete, my friends and I did it in 4 ½ with a lot of breaks 'cause it was a mountain trail too, lol. Any way, back to the story now...)
While all this was being explained the parents were handing out notes from Dumbledore to everyone with the location of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix because of course Dumbledore is the secret keeper.
After everyone had Flooed to the headquarters (I can't for the life of me remember the name, I apologize) they gathered together and looked around at the room they were in. It was very musty and dirty and not at all comfortable (not to mention dark). There were a few minutes of complete silence and then all of a sudden there was a loud "WHOOP!" from somewhere out in the hall and then they all heard a women screaming like a banshee. "Oh shut it you old hag!" Said a voice (the same voice in fact that had given the whoop 20 seconds earlier). There were some grunting noises and some movement and finally the screaming stopped and into the room stepped, of all people, Sirius Black. He was the voice and it was his mother's portrait he had yelled at and was shutting with the help of Remus Lupin who stepped into the room right after him. He ran up to Harry and enveloped him into an enormous bear hug. When he finally let go he invited them all to come into the kitchen where the introductions could be made, but Mrs. Weasley insisted that they get their things into rooms right away. Once everyone had chosen rooms and were somewhat settled they made their way down to the kitchen.
It was Mrs. Weasley who started the introductions and Sirius was all smiles because he was so glad to have lots of people in the house. He was very interested in the Waters family and he kept asking them questions about Canada. When Gina mentioned dog sledding he got really curious.
"So there's a sled and a bunch of dogs pull it over ice and snow?" He mused.
"Yes, but not just any kind of dog." At this he looked at her with a questioning look on his face. "Only huskies, mostly, they look like wolves sort of but they have a lot more fur and are really fluffy. They can be cute, but just like any dog, don't get them mad." Gina explained wondering why Sirius was so interested in sled dogs.
"Well Sirius, we can't keep our guests waiting now can we? Why don't we get started on supper and the kids can go explore the house. But I must warn you, when you're going through the halls, especially the main hall, be very quiet. The last thing you want to do is wake up Mrs. Black." Remus warned them as he pointed to the door of the kitchen. The kids could tell when they were not wanted and normally they would have tried to listen to what was going on, but they did want to explore so they decided they'd listen another time.
After the whole house had been explored Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went into Harry and Ron's room while the two sets of twins went into George and Fred's room. Just as they were about to sit down and talk (and show the girls some joke stuff) Gina said, "Oh, wait one second." Then she ran out of the room. She came back a minute later with a small CD player and set it down on one of the bedside tables. Now this house being an entirely wizard house didn't have plugs or electricity, but that didn't matter because their father had bewitched everything they had that was electronic to work with magic. It had taken him a long time and a lot of mistakes, but he finally managed it and therefore there muggle things worked anywhere they were (including Hogwarts) because they were no longer electronic. In the CD player was a mixed CD with all their favourite Disney songs and other movie songs like songs from Sister Act 2 and other great movies. (A/N: the CD I'm listening to as I'm writing this has Disney and Sister Act 2 on it that is why I chose itï) George and Fred were completely confused until it was all explained to them and they found the music interesting especially the Little Mermaid songs with the Steel Drums and O Happy Day where the guy sings really, really high. They said they thought that muggle music was much more interesting then wizard music and the girls informed them that hadn't even touched the surface of muggle music because there is just too much to listen to it all. After a while they put on another mixed CD that had awesome rock music from AC/DC and Queen on it as well as some other rockin' songs.
"So." Fred said to try and get out of the awkward silence they were currently in. "Did you guys sleep well in you new house, no strange dreams?" he asked with a snicker suddenly remembering George's dream. George just glared at his brother.
"I must have had a great sleep because I didn't get up until 11 o'clock." Gina mused.
"Wow, you did better than George. It was 12 o'clock before he got up. I was up long before then and had the joy of watching him dream; it was quite interesting considering the dream was about..." George chose this moment to step very hard on Fred's foot causing him to stop talking and roll back on the bed in pain.
"Sorry about him, he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut so I've learned to shut it for him." George said with as much self control as he could muster while the girls just chuckled to themselves at the antics of the boys.
Just then Ginny came in to tell them it was supper time therefore saving George from more embarrassment and explanations.
Dinner was very eventful for everyone because there was so much talking going on about the Order and about what had been happening (of course only the stuff the kids were aloud to hear) and everyone was in a pretty good mood for the most part. After dinner Gina and Fran went upstairs to their room to put on some music and dance ('cause that's what they liked to do) remembering that they had to be quiet so they put a silencing charm on their room (because they can of course do magic outside of school now). They weren't the best at this charm so you still hear a little bit of the music from the hallway, that and the fact that they had it turned up very loud, but from the hallway it wasn't loud enough to bother anybody. They decided they were in a Rock mood so they put on this song:
I Love Rock N' Roll
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
Now as Fred and George were walking to their room (which is right across from Gina and Fran's) they thought they heard music so they listened closer and found out they were right. They put their extendable ears under they door and were blasted with music. They had to pull the ear pieces out of their ears because the volume hurt them. They decided to just hold the pieces up to their ears and they heard the girls singing along with the song and found that the girls could sing quite well. All of a sudden they looked up and saw Fran and Gina standing in the open doorway looking at them with serious expressions.
"Excuse us, but we couldn't help but wonder what these things were when we saw them on the floor and then we remembered that you had shown them to us earlier and so we figured wherever there were extendable ears there must be Fred and George." Fran said sternly while Gina tried to stifle a laugh. She wasn't successful and soon both girls were laughing rather loudly and Fred and George (who were standing by this time) pushed them into their room and shut the door.
"Hey," Gina said through her laughter. "You're not supposed to be in our room."
"Well I don't see the problem, you were in ours earlier." George said gruffly.
"I don't set the rules, I just follow them."
"Alright Gina, George, enough arguing. Who really cares that they're in here? I don't, I just want to keep dancing. Shall we?" Fran announced as she looked at Gina before turning on another classic song:
Love Shack
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Ooo love baby, that's where it's at
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.
Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder sugar!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you!
Bang Bang! On the door baby!
Bang Bang! On the door!
Bang Bang! On the door baby!
Bang Bang! On the door!
Your what?... Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack
As soon as the music started Gina and Fran started dancing and singing. Soon they noticed the boys just standing there and pulled them into the dance where they went crazy and almost knocked the CD player over, but it was saved from sure disaster by Gina, the boys toned down their dancing a bit and everybody had a great time. That is until the song was over and they thought they heard someone coming up the stairs. With one quick look at each other Fred and George apparated out of there and into their own room just before Mrs. Weasley knocked on the girl's door. Very grateful that she came to them first and not the twins Gina opened the door and smiled at Mrs. Weasley.
"What were you two doing in here?" She asked noticing the girls were flushed and looked very warm.
"We were just dancing and having a great time!" Fran answered in a huff.
"Alright, that's fine, but now it's time for bed we have a lot of work to do in the morning." And with that Mrs. Weasley left and their parents came up to say goodnight to them. While they were lying in bed trying to get to sleep Fred and George suddenly appeared on top of them.
"ARGH!" Gina yelled. "Quiet or you'll get the parentals up here." George said as he covered her mouth with his hand.
"If you guys are going to apparate to visit us you could at least try not to land right on top of us." Fran said through clenched teeth, although she did think the situation was quite humorous and she knew that Gina thought the same thing.
"Sorry, we really didn't mean to do that, but we're new at this so you can't really blame us." Fred said with a cheeky grin on his face that was just visible by the moonlight streaming in from the large window on the wall opposite the door, parallel to the beds.
"Well I don't know about you two, but we're really tired so if you wouldn't mind..." Gina said as she tried to roll out from underneath George who was still on top of her.
"Oh, sorry." George mumbled as he stood up blushing furiously and thanking his lucky stars that no one could see just how red he was.
"Right, well as it seems we're not wanted brother dear we might as well leave." Fred stated in a superior tone.
"Well you better not leave mad at us, because they'll be no living with you if you do." Fran pointed out. Everyone laughed, silently of course, at this comment and the boys politely said good night and left leaving the girls alone in the somewhat gloomy room.
"Those guys are great. I'm so glad they like to dance because that means we won't be the only ones to go crazy at dances!" Gina said excitedly.
"We don't even know if they have dances at Hogwarts." Fran pointed out to her sister.
"Oh well, I can still dream can't I?" And with that the twins fell asleep to the sound of music in their heads and laughter in their hearts.
A/N: Ok, so I know that ending is corny beyond belief, but you'll just have to deal with it. I want to thank some very special people, who with out their kind words this chapter (and more to come!) never would have been written.
Thanks:
PottersGirl13 Thanks for taking the time to read it and encouraging me to continue with this story!
LittleMissAttitudelol Of course Canadians ROCK!! We are still loyal to the Queen and are therefore closer to being British than the Americans, lol (I hope this doesn't make any Americans mad, I love you guys too!). Thanks again for the review.
InLuvWitRupert Thanks so much and I'm glad you feel you can relate. I love the fact that out of the five people that have reviewed my story two have been Canadian!
Thanks again everyone who wanted me to go on. I hope that the next chapter will be up soon, but I can't make too many promises. I update slow, but at least I try, lol.
A/N: Finally I will start the third chapter to this story. I apologize to anyone who cares that it is so late. I haven't updated in what, 5 months or so? Also this chapter (and hopefully more to come) is (are) dedicated to PottersGirl13 who because of her kindness and enthusiasm has inspired me to write more of this story. Thank you, Geena.
I keep getting more and more reviews saying that people like this story and I've decided that today I'm going to finish this chapter and put it up no matter what (I just hope it will be good enough to make people happy). Thank you all SOOOO much it makes me feel so happy. Oh and I should mention that I don't own any characters except for the Waters family and anymore you may not recognize, thanks!
Chapter Three: George's Dream and The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black
(A/N: I'm not going to tell you every time I change P.O.V.'s because it's just too much. It should be fairly obvious at times and if it's not I hope you don't get confused. You shouldn't but you never know...)
"Hhhuuuuaaaaawwww. I am sooooo tired." Gina yawned as she stretched in bed. She thought back on the events of the night before and smiled. "Why do those guys have to have red hair?" she mumbled to herself. "I can't resist red hair."
"What's that Gina?" Fran said as she poked her head in Gina's room. "I thought I heard you say something."
"Oh, nothing. Just grumbling because I woke up so early."
"Early! This isn't early. It's almost 11 o'clock and you haven't even had breakfast today. And don't you remember we said we would hang out with Fred and George today? Well Fred owled us and said they would come by at one to show us some stuff they've made for their joke shop." Fran explained to a still very sleepy Gina.
"WHAT!! 1 o'clock! That's only two hours away and I still have to get ready! I mean I have to shower and eat and pick out what to wear and....wait a minute what am I saying? Why should it take longer than two hours? I think I'm going crazy" Gina finished off her little rant by mumbling this last part, but Fran still heard it, shook her head and went down to breakfast.
(A/N: GAH! I realized that I said they were 17 which means they don't quite have the joke shop yet because they are still in school. For the purpose of this story then they will be showing them some things that will go into their joke shop. Sorry about all that, I really need to get my timelines straight. Oh and they are not finished school yet, they still one more year to go which means they will go to Hogwarts which will make this interesting :S. Anyway, I'm really sorry for all these mix-ups and hopefully I won't have to make many more of these notes.

It was a hot summer day and George was lying on his back on the grass. He was lying under the shade of a beautiful willow tree. Willow tree? As far as he knew they didn't have any willow trees at the Burrow. Oh well, the tree was large and gave off plenty of shade for himself and Gina. Gina? How long had she been lying beside him? 'Man' he thought 'willow trees and Gina, this is really strange'. What was even stranger was the fact that he had his arm around Gina and she was sleeping with her head on his chest. 'Now this is really weird, what's going on?' He was confused by all this, but soon realized that he was really enjoying all of it and maybe it wasn't so strange after all. But then he remembered that he had just met Gina and he really didn't know her so having her sleeping in his arms just didn't seem right. He decided he was going to wake her. "Umm...Gina?"
Fred watched as his brother rolled in his sleep and then he heard him say the words ummm...Gina. Of course Fred just laughed and waited to see what else his twin would do before he woke up and also wondered why George was saying Gina's name in his sleep. George moved some more and said "Gina, wake up." Fred was thoroughly amused by all this, but decided to wake his brother anyway.
"Hey George, who you talking too?" Fred said with a smirk on his face.
"What?" George mumbled groggily as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Talking too?" All of a sudden he sat bolt upright and realized that he had been dreaming. There was no willow tree, no sleeping Gina, and no bright sunlight. There was only his bed in his room in the burrow and Fred.
Fred had to stifle a very large laugh that was threatening to take over as he imitated George "Gina wake up. Gina you're on my arm." George was turning beat red as only the Weasley's can and threw a pillow at Fred. "Oi! It's not my fault you were dreaming and I happened to hear it. Maybe you shouldn't talk out loud in your dreams that would be the smart thing to do." He said with a snicker.
"Oh shut it you, it's not like you've never done it before. 'Oh Angelina, don't make me come over there and kiss you.' I know very well what you've always wanted to do with her, but I've never said a word, so don't start messing with me or I'll have to blackmail you." George warned with a twinkle in his eye and a smug look plastered on his face.
Now it was Fred's turn to go red. "Alright, alright, you got me, but I'll have you know that I don't fancy her anymore. I don't fancy any one. So you got nothing on me." He replied with a superior air.
"FRED, GEORGE!"
"What does that woman want now?" Fred questioned as their mother yelled up to them. George just shrugged his shoulders.
"IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH! AND YOU BOTH BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE NOON FROM NOW ON OR I'LL MAKE YOU DE-GNOME THE WHOLE GARDEN BY YOURSELVES!" There mother had such a loud voice and the twins were so used to hearing it that it seemed normal to them although it might seem to outsiders that they were getting in trouble.
"Lunch, already?" George asked. Fred replied with a chuckle "Yes dear brother, you've almost slept the day away. Oh and must I remind you that Fran and Gina will be coming over today. I owled them telling them we'd be by there house at one to show them some stuff we've invented...I thought that would be safer than having them come over here and have mom catch us with the stuff."
"Crud, I forgot all about that. Why didn't you wake me earlier?"
"Well you seemed to be enjoying your dream so I decided to watch you instead of wake you. See you at lunch." He called as he exited the room and made his way downstairs.
"Oh bother. I guess I better get dressed...now, what to wear?"
Once down stairs George noticed that the whole family had been assembled. The thing that caught his eye was the fact that not only was his whole family there, but the whole Waters' family was there as well. He was confused to say the least and still being tired he stumbled into the only empty chair...beside Gina.
"Hello everyone." He said as politely as is possible when one has jus woken up 20 minutes before.
"Good. Now that everyone is here we can get started. Dig in!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed.
After lunch was over and everyone had eaten their full, Mr. Weasley called for silence around the table. "Now George, since you were the last one down you don't know that Mr. and Mrs. Waters have been here for some time and we have been discussing the Order of the Phoenix and how we are going to spend the rest of the summer at it's headquarters. You know enough about it to know what we are talking about and we will inform you that the Mr. and Mrs. Waters are going to become members. So if you, along with all of the kids, will pack your trunks we will be on our way by this evening."
(A/N: another note, I'm sorry. I've really botched things up, but here I will attempt to fix them. I'm going to go along with the HP fifth book except for the fact that I already said that Harry is at the Burrow so that's a bit different. Hopefully from now on everything will be straight and not too confusing. :( So on with the story I guess.)
Now as everyone was packing their trunks there was a lot of talk going on. Where was the headquarters to the order of the Phoenix? Why were they going there? Were they going to be let in on what was going on, or as "kids" were they going to be kept in the dark? These questions and others raced through the minds of all the Hogwarts students as they hurried to finish their packing. No one was really talking to one another because they sensed that this was somewhat of a grave situation or at least that the topic deserved some respect.
As soon as everyone was done packing they gathered their things together in the Burrow. They were going to Floo there seeing as how that would be the easiest way to transport a lot of people without being seen by muggles.
"Hey Fran, Gina what's that on your trunks?" Fred asked with curiosity as he and George (as well as Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Harry) stared at the trunks of the two Canadian twins.
"What do you mean?" Fran asked wondering what they could be talking about.
"Oh you must mean the painting." Gina interjected as she followed the stares of the other teenagers. "Right, well our trunks looked just like yours before we left, but you see we have a friend whose dad is this amazing painter so he painted a mural on our trunks to remind us of home. It's also safe to say we'll never get them mixed up with other people's trunks!" The mural on the trunks was an interesting one. In the center of the lid there was a bright Canadian flag flanked by a wolf with and polar bear on the left side and a large male moose and black bear on the right. Flying just over the heads of the bear and moose was a magnificent flock of Canadian geese (of course these were small to look like they were farther away in the sky, but the detail was amazingly clear). Along with the wolf and polar bear were a pup and cub. In the background was on the left was the Canadian north, the beautiful blanket of snow glistening on the soft ground and the frost covered trees as the sun hits it. On the right the background was a summer theme from the dense forests of the Lake Superior area where the moose crossing signs and watch for falling rock signs are plentiful and there is very little civilization (he he and absolutely no cell phone signals). Around the front, sides, and back were waterfalls (Niagara Falls too!) and other scenery with things like beavers, squirrels, chipmunks, trilliums, and many other animals and scenes that are truly Canadian. (A/N: Eeps! I went to the Lake Superior Provincial Park on July 18-25 and it was so AWESOME! You wouldn't believe how beautiful it is until you've seen it. So many trees and if you like hiking I suggest if you live anywhere in Ontario or any where else for that matter go camping there I recommend the Agawa Bay camp sites. The Orphan Lake trail was particularly nice if you like waterfalls and is only a mere 8km long and if you like climbing you can go on the Peat Mountain trail which is 11km long and Awasee is 10km and said it took 4-6 hours to complete, my friends and I did it in 4 ½ with a lot of breaks 'cause it was a mountain trail too, lol. Any way, back to the story now...)
While all this was being explained the parents were handing out notes from Dumbledore to everyone with the location of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix because of course Dumbledore is the secret keeper.
After everyone had Flooed to the headquarters (I can't for the life of me remember the name, I apologize) they gathered together and looked around at the room they were in. It was very musty and dirty and not at all comfortable (not to mention dark). There were a few minutes of complete silence and then all of a sudden there was a loud "WHOOP!" from somewhere out in the hall and then they all heard a women screaming like a banshee. "Oh shut it you old hag!" Said a voice (the same voice in fact that had given the whoop 20 seconds earlier). There were some grunting noises and some movement and finally the screaming stopped and into the room stepped, of all people, Sirius Black. He was the voice and it was his mother's portrait he had yelled at and was shutting with the help of Remus Lupin who stepped into the room right after him. He ran up to Harry and enveloped him into an enormous bear hug. When he finally let go he invited them all to come into the kitchen where the introductions could be made, but Mrs. Weasley insisted that they get their things into rooms right away. Once everyone had chosen rooms and were somewhat settled they made their way down to the kitchen.
It was Mrs. Weasley who started the introductions and Sirius was all smiles because he was so glad to have lots of people in the house. He was very interested in the Waters family and he kept asking them questions about Canada. When Gina mentioned dog sledding he got really curious.
"So there's a sled and a bunch of dogs pull it over ice and snow?" He mused.
"Yes, but not just any kind of dog." At this he looked at her with a questioning look on his face. "Only huskies, mostly, they look like wolves sort of but they have a lot more fur and are really fluffy. They can be cute, but just like any dog, don't get them mad." Gina explained wondering why Sirius was so interested in sled dogs.
"Well Sirius, we can't keep our guests waiting now can we? Why don't we get started on supper and the kids can go explore the house. But I must warn you, when you're going through the halls, especially the main hall, be very quiet. The last thing you want to do is wake up Mrs. Black." Remus warned them as he pointed to the door of the kitchen. The kids could tell when they were not wanted and normally they would have tried to listen to what was going on, but they did want to explore so they decided they'd listen another time.
After the whole house had been explored Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went into Harry and Ron's room while the two sets of twins went into George and Fred's room. Just as they were about to sit down and talk (and show the girls some joke stuff) Gina said, "Oh, wait one second." Then she ran out of the room. She came back a minute later with a small CD player and set it down on one of the bedside tables. Now this house being an entirely wizard house didn't have plugs or electricity, but that didn't matter because their father had bewitched everything they had that was electronic to work with magic. It had taken him a long time and a lot of mistakes, but he finally managed it and therefore there muggle things worked anywhere they were (including Hogwarts) because they were no longer electronic. In the CD player was a mixed CD with all their favourite Disney songs and other movie songs like songs from Sister Act 2 and other great movies. (A/N: the CD I'm listening to as I'm writing this has Disney and Sister Act 2 on it that is why I chose itï) George and Fred were completely confused until it was all explained to them and they found the music interesting especially the Little Mermaid songs with the Steel Drums and O Happy Day where the guy sings really, really high. They said they thought that muggle music was much more interesting then wizard music and the girls informed them that hadn't even touched the surface of muggle music because there is just too much to listen to it all. After a while they put on another mixed CD that had awesome rock music from AC/DC and Queen on it as well as some other rockin' songs.
"So." Fred said to try and get out of the awkward silence they were currently in. "Did you guys sleep well in you new house, no strange dreams?" he asked with a snicker suddenly remembering George's dream. George just glared at his brother.
"I must have had a great sleep because I didn't get up until 11 o'clock." Gina mused.
"Wow, you did better than George. It was 12 o'clock before he got up. I was up long before then and had the joy of watching him dream; it was quite interesting considering the dream was about..." George chose this moment to step very hard on Fred's foot causing him to stop talking and roll back on the bed in pain.
"Sorry about him, he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut so I've learned to shut it for him." George said with as much self control as he could muster while the girls just chuckled to themselves at the antics of the boys.
Just then Ginny came in to tell them it was supper time therefore saving George from more embarrassment and explanations.
Dinner was very eventful for everyone because there was so much talking going on about the Order and about what had been happening (of course only the stuff the kids were aloud to hear) and everyone was in a pretty good mood for the most part. After dinner Gina and Fran went upstairs to their room to put on some music and dance ('cause that's what they liked to do) remembering that they had to be quiet so they put a silencing charm on their room (because they can of course do magic outside of school now). They weren't the best at this charm so you still hear a little bit of the music from the hallway, that and the fact that they had it turned up very loud, but from the hallway it wasn't loud enough to bother anybody. They decided they were in a Rock mood so they put on this song:
I Love Rock N' Roll
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
Now as Fred and George were walking to their room (which is right across from Gina and Fran's) they thought they heard music so they listened closer and found out they were right. They put their extendable ears under they door and were blasted with music. They had to pull the ear pieces out of their ears because the volume hurt them. They decided to just hold the pieces up to their ears and they heard the girls singing along with the song and found that the girls could sing quite well. All of a sudden they looked up and saw Fran and Gina standing in the open doorway looking at them with serious expressions.
"Excuse us, but we couldn't help but wonder what these things were when we saw them on the floor and then we remembered that you had shown them to us earlier and so we figured wherever there were extendable ears there must be Fred and George." Fran said sternly while Gina tried to stifle a laugh. She wasn't successful and soon both girls were laughing rather loudly and Fred and George (who were standing by this time) pushed them into their room and shut the door.
"Hey," Gina said through her laughter. "You're not supposed to be in our room."
"Well I don't see the problem, you were in ours earlier." George said gruffly.
"I don't set the rules, I just follow them."
"Alright Gina, George, enough arguing. Who really cares that they're in here? I don't, I just want to keep dancing. Shall we?" Fran announced as she looked at Gina before turning on another classic song:
Love Shack
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Ooo love baby, that's where it's at
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.
Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder sugar!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you!
Bang Bang! On the door baby!
Bang Bang! On the door!
Bang Bang! On the door baby!
Bang Bang! On the door!
Your what?... Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack
As soon as the music started Gina and Fran started dancing and singing. Soon they noticed the boys just standing there and pulled them into the dance where they went crazy and almost knocked the CD player over, but it was saved from sure disaster by Gina, the boys toned down their dancing a bit and everybody had a great time. That is until the song was over and they thought they heard someone coming up the stairs. With one quick look at each other Fred and George apparated out of there and into their own room just before Mrs. Weasley knocked on the girl's door. Very grateful that she came to them first and not the twins Gina opened the door and smiled at Mrs. Weasley.
"What were you two doing in here?" She asked noticing the girls were flushed and looked very warm.
"We were just dancing and having a great time!" Fran answered in a huff.
"Alright, that's fine, but now it's time for bed we have a lot of work to do in the morning." And with that Mrs. Weasley left and their parents came up to say goodnight to them. While they were lying in bed trying to get to sleep Fred and George suddenly appeared on top of them.
"ARGH!" Gina yelled. "Quiet or you'll get the parentals up here." George said as he covered her mouth with his hand.
"If you guys are going to apparate to visit us you could at least try not to land right on top of us." Fran said through clenched teeth, although she did think the situation was quite humorous and she knew that Gina thought the same thing.
"Sorry, we really didn't mean to do that, but we're new at this so you can't really blame us." Fred said with a cheeky grin on his face that was just visible by the moonlight streaming in from the large window on the wall opposite the door, parallel to the beds.
"Well I don't know about you two, but we're really tired so if you wouldn't mind..." Gina said as she tried to roll out from underneath George who was still on top of her.
"Oh, sorry." George mumbled as he stood up blushing furiously and thanking his lucky stars that no one could see just how red he was.
"Right, well as it seems we're not wanted brother dear we might as well leave." Fred stated in a superior tone.
"Well you better not leave mad at us, because they'll be no living with you if you do." Fran pointed out. Everyone laughed, silently of course, at this comment and the boys politely said good night and left leaving the girls alone in the somewhat gloomy room.
"Those guys are great. I'm so glad they like to dance because that means we won't be the only ones to go crazy at dances!" Gina said excitedly.
"We don't even know if they have dances at Hogwarts." Fran pointed out to her sister.
"Oh well, I can still dream can't I?" And with that the twins fell asleep to the sound of music in their heads and laughter in their hearts.
A/N: Ok, so I know that ending is corny beyond belief, but you'll just have to deal with it. I want to thank some very special people, who with out their kind words this chapter (and more to come!) never would have been written.
Thanks:
PottersGirl13 Thanks for taking the time to read it and encouraging me to continue with this story!
LittleMissAttitudelol Of course Canadians ROCK!! We are still loyal to the Queen and are therefore closer to being British than the Americans, lol (I hope this doesn't make any Americans mad, I love you guys too!). Thanks again for the review.
InLuvWitRupert Thanks so much and I'm glad you feel you can relate. I love the fact that out of the five people that have reviewed my story two have been Canadian!
Thanks again everyone who wanted me to go on. I hope that the next chapter will be up soon, but I can't make too many promises. I update slow, but at least I try, lol.
