Fred and George Weasley were ecstatic. Finally, it was their turn to go to Hogwarts. After years of Charlie and Becky sharing tales of their adventures at Hogwarts, it was finally the twins' turn. Their first mission: find a partner in crime. Before they could begin their search, they needed to ask Becky for advice on how to find said partner in crime. The last time they had asked, she had simply replied, "You will know the right person when you find them." The twins didn't know exactly what she meant, and they intended to find out.
As they approached the back of the train, they began to hear music. Getting closer to the source, they recognized it as a song from one of Becky's records, being played on guitar. To them, the odd part was that no one was singing. Feeling curious, the two entered the compartment that the music originated from. Inside they found a small child, who looked to be no older than eight, playing an old, beat-up guitar. After standing there listening for a moment, Fred cleared his throat to get the child's attention. The child jumped and clutched the guitar tightly, looking at the twins in fear.
"Hullo. You must be…"
"… a fellow first year. Our names…"
"… are Fred…"
"… and George Weasley."
"What's yours?" the twins asked, switching back and forth as they spoke.
The child stared at them in confusion for a moment before shaking their head. The twins frowned.
"You don't…"
"…want to talk to us?" they asked, sounding hurt and a little disappointed.
The child violently shook their head in reply, leaving the twins confused.
"Then why…"
"…don't you answer?"
The child seemed to ponder this question for a moment, then dug around in the open guitar case to find some paper and a pen. After writing for a moment, the child handed the paper to Fred. The twins read, I'm sorry, but I can't talk. It's nice to meet you, Fred and George.
