Chapter 5: A Week With Fred and George

James raised one eyebrow (a trait he prided, as it was difficult to do.) "How would you know us if we didn't know you and we had never met before or seen each other before, or have come in contact anyway that might give us or you a reason to think that you knew us even if you know you don't?"

Sirius blinked. "You lost me back at 'never'." He replied evenly. Despite the seriousness of the situation, James gave a small laugh at his confused friend. Remus (ever the stern) gave him a 'this is not the time to laugh' look that was accompanied by a small frown.

"It's just a feeling; I agree that I don't think we've met before." George said, half to himself, half to the others around him.

"Yes, your looks and personality make it seem as if we have met you three before, even if in our mind we know we really didn't." Fred added, thinking the same thing as is twin.

Ron's eyebrows went up as he gave his brothers a look of wondering. He was not used to seeing his brothers without an air of lighthearted-ness and laughter; they seemed so… serious. It was scary.

"I think I might know." Sakura said suddenly in a thoughtful tone. Nine different pairs of eyes fell on one pair of bright blue ones. Hermione's eyes bore into Sakura's as she attempted to send warning messages to the other girl. Said girl appeared not to notice, or not care, one of the two.

"Oh, and you would know." Fred replied with a sarcastic tone.

"Well it's not like I can read minds or anything, I'm just guessing from what I think a typical boy mind would think about this situation." Sakura said with a roll of her eyes.

"Whatever," George said lazily. "Just tell us your idea."

"I think that you two are just thinking about Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry and James are a lot alike, and not just in looks. Ron and Simon are a like in some ways too, and Hermione and Tommy are just like they share a mind sometimes. They are all a like, so it was like a mind trick." The twins nodded their heads slowly. They both knew that what Sakura had said was not really why they felt this way, but we pretended to except what the brunette had said, for now anyway.

"I really don't think that we act like each other." Hermione and Remus said at the exact same time.

"And neither do I!" The other four added stubbornly. Sakura gave them a loopy smile before joining Fred and George in laughter.

"You know-" George started.

"-I think-"

"-That she-"

"-has a point." Fred finished. "So anyway, these teachers have on ease now what we've been gone, and I do believe that it would do them some good of we brightened their lives up once again."

Hermione glared at them. "If you are talking about what I think you are, no. I will not have you running all around this school changing people's hair-color and what-not. Especially when you two don't go here any more, there's nothing to stop you." She said sternly.

"Relax Hermione, we're only going to be here for a week or so, do you really think that we'd just sit around and do nothing?" George said with a laugh.

"A week, I thought you were just stopping by!"

Fred and George exchanged glances, then they both grinned. "Oh no, we go side-tracked from before didn't we George?" George nodded, just for effect. "Well…"

"We're spending the week at Hogwarts!" They said simultaneously.

"Why's that?" Ron questioned; eager to know why his annoying older brothers would be hanging out with him and his friends.

"To finish all the work from last school year that you two missed I hope." Hermione interjected.

"Now really Hermione-"

"-Why would we do a thing like that?" Hermione rolled her eyes and gave a frustrated groan.

"But really, why are you here?" Ron pressed. He really wanted to know, but they just kept avoiding the question.

"We can't really say little brother." Fred said. "But we shouldn't ponder on unimportant matters, let us find the teachers!" He looked a Harry. "Remember that map we gave your in our fifth year, Harry? Well, we need to borrow that map again."

James and Sirius pulled of their innocent looks like stars, they both glanced at each other "Map?" They both asked. They knew Harry had the same map they did (in fact it was hidden in a special inside pocket of James' robes) but Fred and George didn't need to know that. The three had always been good at saying lying –you had to be when you were a prankster- and now even Fred and George –pranksters themselves- would know.

"Yeah," George said. "It's called the Marauders' Map, we don't know who wrote it, but they are Fred and my heroes. When you see the map you'll know what we mean." He grinned. James and Sirius grinned back.

"Harry, could you go and get it? I would, but you never know what you could find in that dorm room of yours." Fred said to Harry as George talked to James, Sirius, and Remus.

"Ah, Harry has returned!" George said loudly. Harry came over and handed George the map. George started to open it; he stopped when Hermione gave a large gasp. "Something wrong Hermione?"

"Oh, I've just remembered something important that McGonagall told me to tell Sakura and Tommy. If you can excuse us for a moment-" Hermione grabbed both Remus and Sakura's arms and dragged them toward the girl's dorm steps. "I've just realized that we have a problem." She said sternly.

Sakura's eyes got wide. "Oh, I think I know what you're talking about, but there's no way to stop them!"

Remus frowned, he wasn't sure what the two girls were going on about, and he wanted to know. "Excuse me, but can you fill me in?"

"Oh, right, sorry." Sakura said apologetically. "The map doesn't put fake names on there, so when they see the map-" She didn't need to say more, Remus understood.

"That is a problem, there are spells on it that makes it hard to add or remove spells on the map, so are activated by passwords. James and Sirius know the passwords because they put most on them on it, so that part won't be a problem. I don't know any spells that would work; it was Sirius who found the spell for names in the first place."

"That's quite surprising." Hermione muttered. It was common knowledge with Hermione's friends that she disapproved of Sirius' behavior, especially the pranks.

While the three stood there pondering the others chattered causally waiting for them to return. They all wanted to know what was running through Hermione's mind, but they also knew it was pointless to wonder, because none of them understood Hermione.

Sakura said something quickly then ran up the steps of her dorm, returning shortly with a thick book in her hands. "I got this from my parents over the summer; it's got loads of spells in it that might help us." She explained. Sakura flipped through the book, occasionally stopping to give a page a better look. Before she reached about half-way she stopped. "Found it!" She exclaimed happily. Then she frowned. "But how can we put the spell on the map with them noticing?"

"I can handle that." Hermione said confidentially.

"Alright, then Herm-" Hermione frowned, she never liked the nickname. "- can distract them while Remus, Sirius, and James work on the spells. As long as they have their backs to us we should be ok." She added.

They went back to the group, looking as discrete as possible. The six boys were giving them perplexing looks, they wanted to know what was going on.

"Fred, George I need to talk to you two, now." Hermione said sternly.

They both shrugged and followed the brunette, saying "Our turn." As they went.

"Ok, I want to know what you are here. It can't be good, and for whatever reason you two don't want to tell James, Simon, and Tommy. I know you don't know them, but trust Harry's judgment, you know what he's like, he wouldn't trust them easily." She told the twins when they stood in the same place Hermione, Sakura, and Remus had stood before.

"Well, we trust you and Harry and Ron even, but not them. Dumbledore let them in, but as smart as the old man is he's not known for letting the safest people in the school." Hermione couldn't help but nod, she knew it was true.

"The Order is still watching Harry very closely, even while he's here. That's why we're here." Hermione remembered that they had been inducted into the Order over the summer, despite their mother's wishes.

"Some people think that You-Know-Who is controlling one of the students at Hogwarts, but none of the teachers get close enough to the students to find anything out, that's why we're here." Fred explained.

"Well the best guess would be a Slytherin wouldn't it?" Hermione questioned. "I hate to be part of these stupid house rivalries, but they do seem the most likely."

"That's what we said too, but Shacklebolt –you know, the Auror- told us that it's supposed to be someone in Gryffindor. It would make sense, after all; someone that could get close to Harry."

"Yes, I agree with that, but how are they controlling them? The Imperius Curse would be a bit risky, I would think." Hermione said thoughtfully.

"But it's You-Know-Who, you never know what spell he could be using." Hermione nodded solemnly. "That's the real reason why we're here, to protect Harry."

"And it wouldn't surprise me if it was one of those guys, they seem innocent enough, but how well do you really know them?"

"Enough." Dumbledore knew who they really were, they were Harry's family. His dad that he never knew, his godfather he lost only last year, and his other godfather (as Harry had said before). They would never do anything to hurt Harry, she could just feel it. "They would never hurt Harry." She added confidentially.

"But you couldn't say that for sure." Fred cut in. Hermione had never seen the twin act so mature, they were always goofing around, it was so strange to see them like this.

"No, that is true," But she still didn't think they would. "But I'm sticking with what I said."

They both smiled. "You're to stubborn Granger."

"You complete Ron."

"Good match."

Hermione glared at the twins, she wasn't mad at them and the grins they were giving showed they knew. She was actually glad they were being their usual, annoying selves. She always said how much she hated how they acted, but she did find them funny. Harry (once again) had been right; people needed jokes now more then ever.

"I want to tell Harry, Sakura, and Ron, but I don't want to upset the Order." She told them, sighing.

"They never said we couldn't," Fred grinned; he and his brother both had that glint in their eyes. "As long as you don't tell those want-to-be pranksters."

"That's fine, but why do you want to see that map, it's a waist of time."

George shook his head. "My dear, that map is the most wonderful thing ever invented."

"It has helped us to where we are today-"

"-It has never lied before."

"So basically you can see their names and make sure they aren't lying, even though Dumbledore trusts them and if they were under control then we still wouldn't know?"

"But Hermione, my dear, you make it sound so foolish-"

"-It is actually a smart idea."

"-or it was at the time." They grinned.

"I really can not see how it would sound smart, but I'm glad you told me anyways." She offered him a small smile. "But you know I would have found out anyways." She started to walk back to her friends.

"Girls-"

-"Bloody Confusing." The twins said to each other as they followed the burette. The group had been a successes, Sakura was talking about them being interrupted while they were looking at the map.

"You really have not spent enough time with us, my dear."

"You should know we would think of a way to keep people out."

"Except a few first years-"

"But they don't know anything anyway."

"What'd you do?" Sirius asked eagerly.

"Nothing" The two boys replied, putting on a face of innocence that no one believed.

"Oh, just tell us already!" Sakura said loudly, a smile on her face.

"Oh, it's nothing really."

"WE just put a little sign up-"

"-More of a warning actually."

"Don't be surprised if you are attacked upon entering –Fred and George W." They quoted.

"Oh, you two!" Hermione said furiously, her eyes narrowed at the red-heads.

Ignoring her as usual, Fred unrolled the old piece of parchment and put his wand to it. James, Sirius, and Remus watched as he said their password and the small line began to run all over the page. The introduction appeared before the school began to form. Sakura took in a sharp breath and held it as the map finished up.
