"Oh, come on!" I grumbled
I quickly looked under my bed for my potions book. "What is wrong with you?" I asked the book that I couldn't find.
I stood up and walked over to my twin brother's bed. 'Maybe George stole it' I thought.
It's not that I don't trust him—we're very close. Plus, we do everything together. George probably just borrowed my potions book without asking. "AH-HA!" I muttered after rooting through his bag. "Just as I thought! George forgot to give back my book."
I took my book and then sprinted out the 7th year boys' dormitory. I was already 5 minutes late to Snape's class. At least I don't have to worry about getting points deducted or receiving a detention just because George and I happen to walk in at the same time. Unfortunately, today wasn't my lucky day. I was halfway to Snape's class when I bumped into Professor McGonagall. "Mr. Weasley! What are you doing running through these halls?" she asked.
"Oh, Professor! Why must you assume that I'm breaking the rules? I happen to be running an errand for Professor Snape!" I said as innocently as possible.
McGonagall gave me a look that clearly meant I-don't-believe-you-for-one-minute. "Get to class now!" she barked. " I'll let Professor Snape deal with you."
Oh man! I was hoping that she would walk with me and tell Snape that it was her fault that I was late to class. Oh well, Snape's detentions aren't THAT bad. When I walked into the potions dungeons Snape said, "Ah…Fred Weasley has decided to grace us with his presence. 15 points from Gryffindor!"
I smiled as I leaned against the doorway, "Only one problem with that," I replied.
"And what's that?" Snape asked with a glare.
"I'm not Fred. I'm George!" I told him triumphantly.
"Right. You can't fool me. I know for a fact that George was on time to class," Snape replied.
I shook my head and gave him my most sympathetic look. "You got us backwards. It nothing to be ashamed of—happens all the time!" I said.
Snape glared at me and snapped, "Enough is enough Mr. Weasley!"
"But I'm really not Fred!" I protested.
" 30 points from Gryffindor then, GEORGE!" Snape barked.
"Okay, fine! I'm Fred," I replied as I sat down.
"You have just earned yourself a detention with me on Friday at 8:00 p.m." he told me.
I shrugged my shoulders. His weren't half as bad as Filch's. Plus, I was already counting on a detention with him anyway. "Sheesh! He obviously doesn't appreciate humor," I commented to George.
"Got that right," George replied.
George then began to explain the potion we were making to me. It was supposed to get rid of skin blemishes if made correctly. I didn't ask what happened if you didn't make it correctly—usually making a potion incorrectly has the opposite effect.
"So what happened to you?" Lee Jordan asked after potions class.
"Someone stole my potions book," I said while glaring at my brother.
"What? Me steal from you? You've got to be kidding!" George exclaimed in mock shock.
"Let me guess you just borrowed it and forgot to return it?" I asked.
"Now that's more like it!" George replied.
We all laughed as we entered the common room. "So who's our next victim?" Lee asked as he sat down on the red couch.
"River Montague," George suggested.
"Or we cold do Draco," I said.
"Even better!" Lee exclaimed.
"So what do you want to do to him?" George questioned.
I shrugged, " I thought I'd let you guys decided!" I explained.
"AHH-UH-AH! You chose the victim so you get to choose the prank," George told me.
"Great! From now on I refuse to pick people to play pranks on," I replied.
"Just think on it for awhile!" Lee said.
"O-okay! How about we send him to an alternate dimension where the world is ruled by bears!" I exclaimed.
It was the perfect idea. Every tough guy in the known universe is scared of bears. Don't believe me? Look it up in Fred's book of weird facts. "Bears? Have you gone mad?" Lee asked.
"No, but he will. Especially after he finds out the Minister of Magic is a bear and Hogwarts only allows bears in their school," I replied.
George started cracking up. "That's great!" he said while laughing.
"D'you know how to send him to an alternate dimension?" Lee asked.
"I can probably find something in the library on it!" I told Lee.
"So it's settled then. Draco Malfoy get ready for Bear City," Lee stated.
We then went to the library to go looking for the spell. 30 minutes later, all 3 of us were no closer than where we were before. "Are you sure there's a spell for sending people to alternate dimensions?" George questioned.
"There has to be!" I replied.
I then picked up a book that was hiding behind a history book. "Ah, here we go! This book's called 101 Spells For Your Enemies," I said.
I leafed through the book and found an alternate dimension spell was marked with a piece of paper. "Here it is!" I announced.
"Really?" George and Lee asked simultaneously.
I nodded and they grabbed the book. "Hey!" I exclaimed.
"Okay, let's do it!" George told us.
I took a deep breath and recited the spell. Everything in the room seemed to spin and go dark.
