HHH

Harry laid in the spare bed in the twin's room. It was just the two in their year, so they were more than happy to have their apprentice come in. It was easy to see he got annoyed by his year mates and the twins loved the company. The room use to include Lee Jorden before his parents transferred him to another school at the end of the year before. There had been an incident with the DADA teacher and they felt he would be better off elsewhere.

"So, Harry, how are you enjoying Hogwarts," Fred asked since the kid seemed to like it but he wasn't sure.

Harry just grinned at him, he had never been happier then he was since coming to Hogwarts. It was the best experience in his life, "its brilliant, why do you ask?"

George just shrugged despite not having been the one to ask the question. "Just wondering, you've gotten three detentions so far and it is what the second of October?" Some people had mentioned the two tricking the first year into joining them and they wondered if they had.

"So, it's just detention," Harry said confused wondering why they were bringing that up. It seemed extremely random. "What's really going on? You all seemed worried about something since you were flirting with the chasers that day, Angelina and Katie right? What's going on?''

George muttered something about over observant brats while Fred cringed. "It's just...we didn't manipulate you into joining our pranks, did we? A lot of people seem under the assumption that we manipulated you into helping us. You haven't really made any friends in your year and now you are the professors watch lists"

Harry rolled his eyes sitting up realizing they were having a fairly serious conversation and he should focus on the matter at hand. "You have not made me do anything I did not want to. Remember I easily agreed and it's not like I have not gotten in trouble for things before I even met you. I was never one of those goody two shoes who never had a detention. I was in and out of trouble most of my life. Only..." he stopped not sure he wanted to continue but decided he trusted the two of them. "Only it wasn't with pranks. I was a typical delinquent. By the time that I was 9 years old, people were placing bets on how long it would take me to end up in prison. Most had before I was 15. I would have ended up on some professors watch list anyways. Not to mention have you met the gits in my year. They are either Malfoy groupies, Gold groupies or goody two shoes. If I wasn't hanging out with you two I would likely be spending most of my time alone because I wouldn't fit with them. I was not manipulated into anything."

The twins looked at him surprised at the delinquent comments. "What do you mean in prison? What did you do to even make them consider that, your 11?"

Harry shrugged, "Stupid shit really, some of it wasn't my fault, Accidental magic. So, I would say end up in weird places, one time I lit a fire on the grass in the playground when my git of a cousin and his friends went to beat me up. Accidental magic but well muggles don't believe in magic, they thought I had a lighter and set the ground on fire. one of the kids who was attacking me got burnt. Not bad or anything, but enough that he had to go to the hospital. I went to a juvenile detention center for it, 6 weeks for assault and arson. I was 8 so they did not give me any longer. It sort of gives them the assumption your trouble."

Fred glared at the thought of anyone beating on their younger friend. "What did they get for beating you up? Surely they got something for it?"

Harry shook his head as the twins shifted on their beds waiting for an answer. "Nahh...see another thing about having magic, you heal faster than muggles. Not to mention it was not my first offence. After school one day, the same group of kids were going to beat me up. I somehow ended on the school roof. It was about 7 o'clock and so I got charged with breaking and entering. How can you explain the fact that one moment you were on the ground, the next you were on the roof, I was seven so I didn't get anything more then a couple detentions and put on academic probation. I also got in trouble when this git, Pieres Polkins went to knock me one, my magic reacted and shoved him away, he hit his head and got a concussion. I was 6. I am not exactly new to getting in trouble. Once you get known for something then it doesn't matter if you deserve it or not. You still can get the blame."

"It's not right you got punished for accidental magic," George stated since magic...especially extreme magic like that was often praised by parents not punished. The fact that most of the incidents happened to him while he was getting knocked around also pissed them off since they hated bullies. Some people thought what they did was little more than bullying but they never went out of the way to cause problems for people unless they deserve it.

It had stopped bothering Harry a long time before and he was glad that the twins did not know everything. They were quite protective of him which he noticed. It was odd he had never had anyone to look out for him before. "It's not exactly in their heads that...oh he did not break into the school and climb to the roof. He magicked himself up there. There thought is that I did it purposely. That I lit a fire since how else could it have happened. When you are taught magic doesn't exist you make excuses and well you blame the person you think is responsible. It's no big deal honestly."

"Still not right," Fred returned not happy that he accepted it so easily.

Harry laid down again but he turned so he was still facing them, "I like hanging out with you two. It's no hardship...do you not want me to."

"Hell no," George said quickly horrified that he thought that. "We were just worried that we were getting you in trouble and that we were...that it wasn't something you really wanted to do."

"I am happy," Harry stated and for the first time in his life, that was true, "honestly you make coming to Hogwarts worth it. I have a blast with the pranks and honestly the detentions...three in a month are not that bad. Don't let them get into your head. I am stubborn if you haven't realized. if I did not want to do anything I would just not do it.

They nodded knowing that from the month they had been friends. "We good," Harry asked as they both nodded. "Good because I would much rather be discussing how to prank the Ravenclaws who are next on our list then having a Hufflepuff moment but if you both need to I can sympathize."

The twins grabbed pillows beating him with them as he laughed.
