Chapter 2

Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes

They stood out among the rest. Three witches, no one had ever seen before, made their way down Diagon Alley. By the way they were dressed and the way they talked, it was obvious these girls were American. As the three girls made their way around, stopping to look at things in the windows of shops, fascinated by the huge difference between America and London, they entered a certain number ninety-three, Diagon Alley. A brand new joke shop by the name of "Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes" which was having its grand opening sale. As they entered, the owners (a certain pair of twins by the name of Fred and George Weasley) stopped dead in their tracks. Two of the girls were twins, both about the same height as Fred and George, and they where most amazing sight the two had ever seen. They were exactly alike, with fiery red hair, just like the brothers the only difference was their eyes; one had green while the other had blue, but both dark and enchanting. Fred and George were speechless, the two most beautiful girls they had ever seen where in their shop!

With their mouths hanging open, they stared blankly at them as if they where veela. There was another girl with the twins, who looked strangely like Hermione. She looked at Fred and George, then back at her friends and asked "Do you think they'll start drooling?" All three of them laughed the most beautiful exotic laugh the Weasley brothers had ever heard. Fred was the first to snap out of his trance like state.

"C-C-Can w-we help you find something?" Fred said clumsily stumbling over a box of fake wands. He blushed a bright red that matched his hair.

"We were just wondering who this kick ass shop belongs to?" one of the twins answered back, grinning at Fred.

"W-Well… us" George replied, following his brothers lead and snapping out of his trance. Suddenly there was a large ball of fluff in front of their face.

"What the--"

"How in the HELL did you three get away from me?" the three girls turned to face the fluff and laughed. Fred and George looked to find Hermione, and the girl who looked like her twin. She turned and said to Hermione, "cause you're too up tight 'Mione."

"Yeah, you definitely need to get laid" laughed one of the twins, "maybe you'll loosen up a bit", the other said. Fred and George couldn't help but laugh too. Hermione turned around blushing a bright red and looked at Fred and George standing there.

"So, I guess you two have met my cousin and her friends?" she snapped.

"Uh… nooo." They answered looking around stupidly.

"Oh… well lucky for you, anyway the twins are--"

"– We can introduce ourselves Hermione" said the twins interrupting her.

"I'm Sarah and this…"

"I'm Moriah." The other said.

The one who looked like Hermione pushed Moriah and Sarah out of the way and said "And I am Marie Estelle Granger" she eyed the twins suspiciously.

"How do you know my cousin?" she asked with an attitude.

"Well I'm Ferd err-- I mean Fred and this is… uh…"

"George" said George

"Right and we own this kick ass shop"

"Okay… but still how do you know my cousin?" said Marie

"Your cousin is really good friends with our younger brother and—Wait a minute!" George turned to Hermione. "Your cousin? Hermione you have a cousin?"

Hermione with her head hanging replied with grief "unfortunately." Marie turned to Hermione and punched her in the arm "Yes she has a cousin, stop whining Hermione you fuzz head." Hermione opened her mouth to speak but closed it again and stormed out of the shop. Moriah turned to Sarah and said "Its sad how they can look so much a like and yet be so different" Sarah nodded in agreement, then turned to Fred "So… What kind of stuff have you got in this shop?" Fred and George suddenly burst out with excitement. "Well" George said. "We've got Extended Ears, Portable Swamps, Canary Creams, Wildfire Wiz-bangs, Fake Wands, Nosebleed Nougat, Puking Pastilles, Fainting Fancies and other Skiving snack boxes and--"

"What are Skiving snack boxes?" Moriah asked with confusion.

"They're a range of sweets to make you ill, we already named the Nosebleed Nougat, Puking Pastilles and the Fainting Fancies" said Fred.

"Sounds cool" said Marie, "But what are Wildfire Wiz-bangs?"

"Oh those are special firecrackers Fred and I mixed ourselves! They're the best, its five galleons for your basic Blaze box and twenty for the Deflagration Deluxe." Said George sounding intelligent for once. The three huddled together. Fred and George could barely make out what they where saying but they heard; "We have to get twenty galleon" "Where from?" "I don't know, how much do you have?"

"Uh…5, what about you?"

"9"

"4"

"Damn…that's 18"

"2 too short"

"How are we supposed to get it now?"

"We could buy 3 basic blaze boxes"

"Okay…maybe we could make a deal"

"Okay"

"Alright"

The three girls turned back towards Fred and George. "We don't have 20 galleons" Sarah started

"But maybe we could make a deal" Moriah said in a soft voice which made George reply quickly "Definitely." Fred staring at Sarah cleared his throat and said "Well we can give you whatever you want for however much you have."

"Well then, we want a Deflagration deluxe please." Said Marie pulling out her 9 galleons and placing them on the counter. Moriah searches for her money in her bra but can't find it, and then Sarah says "Here let me look. Its not there" "Well what about in yours?" Moriah asked while pulling open Sarah's shirt. Meanwhile Fred and George wide eyed and opened mouthed stumbled clumsily over each other trying to steel at least one glance, but not succeeding. "FOUND IT!" Moriah exclaimed holding up her money excitedly, snapping Fred and George out of yet another trance.

"Don't wish to be rude but" Fred started

"What would you girls be doing with those?" George finished

"Well you see, it's our first and last year at Hogwarts," said Sarah

"and we want it to start with a bang."

"Hogwarts eh?" asked George

"Fred and I went there"

"Would a been our 7th year, had we not left"

"It was the best thing we'd ever done"

"Definitely"

"What'd you guys do?" asked Marie.

"Well, we turned the 5th floor corridor into a swamp"

"Really?" asked Sarah

"Yeah, you see, we didn't like this women, Umbridge, she was a real bitch, so , Fred and I gave her hell."

"I think she's in a loony bin now."

"Probably our fault, eh?"

"Yup"

"That's awesome!" Marie said turning to Sarah and Moriah

"Why didn't we ever think of that?"

George looked at Fred and they both laughed.

"So, you three don't look like first years. And you definitely aren't from around here, why are you going to Hogwarts?"

"Well," Sarah Started "We kinda…"

"Blew up our school" Moriah finished

"and now we have to go to Hogwarts"

"Hey George, didn't we read about that in the paper the other day?" asked Fred

"Yeah Fred, I think we did." Replied George turning to the girls "so you're the girls who blew up the school? We gotta give you credit for that"
