"Oh, this is so weird. Why did we get sent back to this time, why couldn't Harry?" Fred muttered. "I mean its his dad that he's never met."

"Sh! Fred! We can't let on to them that James is dead and Pettigrew betrayed them, it could change the future! We have to be extremely careful. It's gonna be hard for us. I suppose jokes wouldn't hurt, but seriously, we can't do anything big! This is horrible!" George said, serious for once.

"You're right! This is horrible. What are we going to do?" Fred said, a horrified look on his face.

"Well for starters, you could go to the dormitories, as its after curfew." An amused voice said from behind them. The twins spun around. The girl standing there had dark auburn hair and stern look on her face. Fred and George looked at her eyes. They were a bright amused green. Fred and George went pale.

"Lily Evans?" they chorused, looking at the eyes they had seen on Harry Potter for the last 5 years of their lives.

"Um yeah, and since I'm Headgirl, I get to ask who the hell are you?"

"We're Fred and George Wesley. We're transfer students from America, and before you ask we're originally from England, so we have the same accent." George said. "And before you ask how we know you, Dumbledore told us to look for you. He told us what you looked like. He said you could help us with the password into the Gryffindor common room. We've been sorted into there, you know."

"Well. This is interesting. Come with me, I'll show you the way." She swept past them. Fred and George exchanged amused glances. They knew the shortest way to the Gryffindor common room. They probably knew almost all the hallways in Hogwarts. It was probably only second to their idols, the Marauders, Bless them, the troublemakers. Still they had to pretend they didn't know their way around. So they followed Lily around and finally found themselves in front of the Pink Lady (they could have cut 5 minutes off the trip.). "Now the password is Fortuna Major. I hope you'll remember it. Oh and the headboy, James Potter, whom you'll be rooming with will show you the Great Hall and how to get to your classes tomorrow." With that, she walked off to go up to the Girls Dormitories. Fred and George glanced at each other. They shrugged. Turning, oblivious to the stares they were getting from younger students, they went up to the seventh year dorms for boys. They'd be rooming w/James, Sirius, Remus, and Pettigrew, the rat. They walked into the room. All four of the boys stopped talking and glanced up.

"Oh. Um. Did we tell you? We're Gryffindors in 7th year where we came from. Dumbledore allowed us to come here. You'll notice the two extra beds in the corner?" Fred offered. He stuck his hand in his pockets. He felt something there. Grinning at George, he took it out. "So, Peter, do you want a candy?"

"Yeah sure." Pettigrew took the candy and popped it in his mouth. As soon as he had swallowed it, a huge canary took Peter's place. Fred and George doubled over, laughing. "George, It still works, despite going into the past!" Everyone else was staring at where Pettigrew had been moments before. At the looks on their faces, Fred explained. "Don't worry, you guys, it's just a simple charm. He'll molt in a minute."

"That was amazing, Fred, Do you have more? We have a million people we could do that to!" James finally got out. Fred stared. He hadn't quite expected this. Lupin had never struck him as a particular prankster. Then again, he had been a professor. "Um we don't have any more with us now, but they're easy to make." He said.

"I have a feeling that we'll get along quite well, now, won't we?" James said, grinning. He had apparently gotten over the confusion the twins had caused him.

"Yeah, Forge and I, we have tons of jokes that we could show you. Actually, we plan on opening a joke shop when we graduate." Fred said.

"Really? That's cool!" Sirius said. "Maybe I'll visit it, in the future, of course."

"Haha. Yeah, seeing as how you're godfather to Harry, I'd assume so!" George offered, and immediately clapped a hand over his mouth. "Oops!"

"Hey, Jamesie boy! You hear that? You're gonna name me godfather to your son!" Sirius crowed.

"Yeah I heard, and I have to say, I don't know what my future self was thinking!" James retorted.

"HEY!" Sirius said, pouting. George and Fred looked at each other and laughed.

"What do you say, Forge, are we going to have a good time here?" George asked.

"I say, Gred, that we will be having a lovely time here! This must be, like, a jokester's heaven!" Fred said.

"So you guys have nicknames. Now, Which one of you is Gred and which is Forge?" Remus asked.

Shaking their fingers, Fred said "Now that's for us.."

"To know, and" George said.

"You to.." Fred continued,

"Not know!" they said together, laughing.

"Wow! You guys really know each other well! Better than we know each other." Peter said. Both Fred and George could barely contain the glares at Peter. They knew the group didn't know each other well enough because a certain rat would turn sides on them.
