Competition
Chapter 1. The Surprise.
The Gryffindor common room was completely silent as Fred and George, our favorite seventh years, Gemini, a silent sixth year, Raven, Fear, and Ginny, three fourth years, and a fifth year Hufflepuff, Silvia, crowded together, huddled up as to hide Silvia from view. The twins had promised the group a huge surprise, and Gemini, even though she was the more responsible one of them, had decided she didn't want Silvia to miss out, and had used Harry's cloak to sneak her in. Ron, Harry, and Hermione were supposed to arrive soon, and were obviously taking their time on showing up.
Finally, the trio ran in with Ron clutching a stitch in his side and all of them breathing heavily as though they had just run a ten mile race before they all collapsed onto the couch.
"About time," Fred grumbled, his arms crossed in a huff.
"Sorry, we ran into Snape," gasped Harry. "He wanted to check to make sure we hadn't done anything to his precious Malfoy because we had "guilty faces", the prat."
"Okay, now settle down, we have an important thing to show you," George announced in a business-man-type voice.
"We present to you...," Fred began, opening his arms grandly.
"...a never before seen...," George continued.
"...one of a kind...,"
"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezed product!" they finished together, grinning proudly, punctuating their words with their arms.
"Which would be...?" Raven questioned, raising an eyebrow expectantly.
"With this "Any-Time-Turner," Fred answered as though it was the most spectacular thing in the world.
"It allows you to go anytime into the past. You just turn the knob to the date you want and, whoosh!, you're there!" George explained excitedly.
"And we created an extension on the chain, so you could pretty much take the whole house," added Fred.
"Wicked!" their audience said in unison.
"Ok, then, everyone discuss a time they want to go to," George requested. "Chop chop!"
There was a burst of suggestions from everyone except Harry. He sat thinking, then slowly raised his hand. "Yes, the short kid with messy black hair, green eyes, round glasses, and a funny scar in the front row," Fred called off as though he was running one of those obnoxious assemblies.
"Umm, could we go back to where my dad and mom were in school? Fifth year like us?" Harry asked, grimacing but choosing to ignore what Fred said.
"Harry, you know we can't change the past," warned Hermione with a look.
"I know that, I just want to see them when they were my age."
"Yeah! Fred and me always wanted to go back in time and compete with Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail," George said excitedly.
"Well, could we go back to when they were in fifth year, so that I could see them around my age? It would just be nice to know what they were really like," Harry said.
"Ok, what time in the fifth year?" Fred asked.
"September 1st, while getting on the train," Harry requested. "Because otherwise we would go through all of the confusions of classes, the password, so on."
Everyone looked around him stared in shock, Hermione was the only one who thought up that logical stuff!
"Ok...well, er...year 1975 coming up," said George.
He turned the knob and turned the anytime turner and quickly put it around their necks.
In a flash of light, they had arrived at Kings' Crossings in front of Platform 9 3/4.
"Oh no!" Hermione cried. "We don't have luggage!"
"Think Fred and I forgot everything?" George asked, looking offended. He pulled out a pocketful of small trunks.
"Engorgeous!" he bellowed.
They turned into the size of normal trunks.
"You guys are pure geniuses!" shrieked Ginny, not thinking about the fact that they had, indeed, dug through all of the girl's drawers.
"You'd be amazed at what a levitation spell can do to get you over the stair case," Fred grinned.
"Yep, and we are of age, so we won't get expelled," Fred gloated.
"Ok, guys, let's hurry up. Maybe we can meet the infamous Marauders on the train!" Raven urged.
"Yeah," added Silvia. "I wonder what they all look like," she sighed.
Ron, Harry, Fred, and George all rolled their eyes. "Girls," they muttered.
"What's so wrong about wondering what they look like?" Silvia demanded.
"Yeah," Gemini said, backing up Silvia, shocking even herself with what she said. "I mean, they're either hot or not. That's just the way it is."
"So what do you rate us as?" asked Ron, his ears going red in the ears.
All of the girls, including Hermione, observed the guys then, in unison, answered, "Average."
"Average?!" Fred roared. "I'm atleast an 11 out of 10!"
"And I'm like 999,999,999,999,999!" argued George.
"Will you guys chill out? Let's just get into a compartment," Hermione said, breaking up the fight.
All 9 of them ran as fast as they could into the barrier. They then loaded their luggage onto racks and began to search through compartments. They soon came across one seating four boys who were laughing as though they had known each other their whole life.
"What's so funny?" Harry asked, recognizing them as his father and company instantly.
"I just sent my cousin to ask Snape where he got his shampoo at," a younger Sirius laughed. "Thank goodness Frank's good at dueling."
"Wait a second, who are you?" Remus asked suspiciously. "We've never seen you before and you don't cross me as first years."
"Brilliant deduction, Watson," Raven muttered to Fear, who laughed.
"Why thank you, Sherlock," she responded.
"I'm Hermione Granger. This is Fred and George We..."
"Hey we're not stupid. We can introduce ourselves!" Fred interrupted. "I'm Gred."
"I'm Forge, his clone." George said going along with the joke.
"Clone?" asked Remus.
"Muggle thing, Silvia told me all about them," Fred answered. "So I decided to get one, so that I can send him to do my detentions instead of vice versa."
"And I totally do not know what he said," a black haired boy laughed. "But if it gets you out of detention, cool!"
"I'm these nutcases brother, Ron Wessle," he told them after being told by Hermione that him and Harry should change their names for precautions.
"Raven Dream, at you're service," she said, bowing dramatically.
"Fear Williams."
"Harry Pratter."
"Gemini Star."
"Silvia Walters, we're transfer students."
They stood in silence for a moment until Gemini spoke up, "Sorry, all the confusion we missed you're names."
"Nice to meet you all, I'm James Potter, ruler of Hogwarts."
"Peter Pettigrew."
"Remus Lupin."
"Yep, that's our Jamester, Petie, and Remington. *scowl from Lupin* I'm Sirius Black."
Sirius ran up to all the girls, went on one knee and kissed their hands. When he got to Raven he looked into her eyes and said, "Charmed, I'm sure?"
"I'd even go so far as to say I'm completely flattered," she responded, without blushing
"So, who are these new acquaintances?" came a new voice. The girls looked up to see a boy who they guessed was Frank, due to the fact that it looked like he had a bit of grease on his face from talking to Snape.
"Such a big word for someone with such a tiny brain," someone drawled from behind them in a too much familiar tone and voice.
"Did someone ask for a dumb blonde's opinion?" Raven sneered at the obvious Malfoy.
"Well now, why would you say that? So many people in here are blonde," asked Lucious.
"Because the majority isn't stupid, just you," she retorted without a pause as the rest of the group sniggered at Lucious.
Lucious just glared at her before turning to Sirius.
"I've heard that you were planning on cutting Snape's hair. As headboy, I am given the privilege of giving you all detentions and if you ever come near my younger cousin, you will not live to see daylight again," Lucious ranted out before slamming the door.
"Wow, mighty testy, that he is," Fred said, breaking the silence, causing the rest of them to burst out laughing.
