Chapter Two

Twins' Reunion

"MUM!" Mona shouts up the stairs. "MUM!"

"What?" She yells down.

"Are you almost ready?"

"Ready for what?" Mona rolls her eyes and I face palm. Of course she forgot. Of Course. We ask her to remember one thing this summer. ONE thing.

"The Leaky Cauldron? Diagon Alley? School supplies?" I yell up.

"Oh! That's today?"

"Yes, mum."

"Well, you're magicians-"

"Wizards." I correct her, not that she's listening.

"Can't you just zap yourselves there or something?"

"Can't use magic outside of school, mum." Mona replies.

"Oh, oh right. Can you hitch a ride with the Weasleys? I'm very busy-"

"They're in Egypt, remember?"

"Right! My, my memory isn't what it used to be!" I check my watch and groan.

"MUM!" I yell. "We NEED to go!"

"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" Mother makes her way down the stairs and grabs the car keys. "Let's go."

A little while later we arrive at the Leaky Cauldron. We thank our mother, grab out our trunks, and head inside.

With just two more days until school begins, Mona I decided we'd book rooms at the Leaky Cauldron, buy some school supplies, and we'd meet up with the Weasley's here. We can take the Knight Bus over to King's Cross. Then we'll all arrive at the same and we won't have to worry about being late or left behind.

We enter the pub and grab our room keys. We settle in and head down to Diagon Alley to buy our supplies. The robes we wore when we were twelve don't fit us anymore. Mrs. Weasley gave us new robes, so we don't have to buy any. We just buy quills, ink, parchment, owl food, and some more basic necessities. We get back to our room and pack up everything. We go to sleep late, the moonlight shining in through the curtains.

I awake the next morning to the sun in my eyes. I got the bed by the window, so it's especially bright for me. After a few minutes, Mona starts to move around. I'm already ready by then, and I wait for to finish getting ready. We head down the hallway together, heading to the stairs.

"I'm telling ya, if mum hadn't of been there, we could've gotten Percy into that pyramid." A familiar voice says. Mona and I look at each other, excitedly.

"She would've caught anyway, though. There's no way she'd forget about Percy, even though he does it to us." Mona and I peak over the banister to see Fred and George standing there, their hair longer than I remember it.

"Sounds interesting," Mona says, startling them, "care to tell us all about it?" The twins look up. Their eyes meet ours and they smile brightly.

"Hell, would we!" Mona and I run down the stairs, meeting them halfway. We wrap our arms around each other in a group hug. After a minute or two we break apart and look at each other.

"Nice locks." I say to them. They runs their fingers through their hair.

"Why thank you." Fred beams. "Mum never cut it because we were in Egypt. Thought it would keep the sun off our necks."

"It definitely is long enough." I admit. Fred smirks.

"So how was Egypt?" Mona asks. "We overheard about your Percy Project."

"Ah yes, putting Percy in a pyramid. Brilliant, but no success." George replies. "It was also crazy hot, there was a ton of sand, but it was an awesome trip anyway."

"Yeah. There was so much to see and do." Fred adds on.

"That's great guys. We really missed you though." Mona says.

"Yeah. Turns out things are pretty boring without you guys." I declare.

"I bet. We are quite entertaining." Fred contributes. I shake my head.

"Whatever."

"Come on, Mum wants you to join us for breakfast." George says. We walk together over to the rest of the Weasleys, who are joined by Hermione and Harry Potter.
