September 1st
George glanced nervously at his twin. Fred was staring at the very solid looking brick pillar, looking equally nervous. "Together?", George asked.
"Together.", agreed Fred. They grabbed each others hands and ran in before their family saw them holding hands. There was a moment of darkness and suddenly a loud whistle. The twins stared in amazement. The Hogwarts express, red and gleaming was right in front of them. "Wow.", they said in unison.
"I can't believe it! We're finally going George!", Fred shouted in excitement.
"I know! Imagine it! Hogwarts, a new sea of victi- I mean friends.", George said enthusiastically.
"You two had better not cause any trouble, that's the last thing we need.", said a sharp voice that turned out to be Percy as he emerged from the wall.
"Oh no we're soooo scared.", laughed George.
"Yeah I guess we won't have any fun, will we Forge?", smirked Fred.
"Yeah I guess we'll just have to sit and be boring all year Gred…", George replied miming sadness and then cracking up. Percy was about to snap a reply when Molly Weasley emerged along with Bill who was in his fifth year and groaning about O.W.L.'s, Charlie who was in his seventh year and groaning about N.E.W.T.'s, and a nine year old Ron who was shooting jealous looks at the twins. Arthur had stayed home to look after Ginny, much to Ginny's anger.
"Are you boys fighting again?", she asked suspiciously.
"No Mum.", all three boys replied innocently.
"Awww come on Mom, stop it!", yelled Fred and George who were being hugged and kissed fiercely by their mother.
"I know, I know just promise to behave alright?", she said tearfully.
"Don't we always?", Fred muttered to George earning a glare from Percy. Bill had already gone off to find his friends. Charlie was talking to Ron.
"Don't worry Ron, you'll be going yourself in two years.", Charlie reassured Ron.
"Yeah…", Ron replied looking longingly at the Hogwarts express. With that Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George hopped on the train. After waving goodbye to their Mother they headed off to go look for a compartment. They looked around and saw Bill talking to some girls.
"Probably doesn't want to be bothered.", George commented to a smirking Fred. Charlie and Percy had gone.
"C'mon, in here.", Fred said pointing at a compartment where a boy with dreadlocks was sitting. They opened the door and sat down opposite the boy without invitation.
"George Weasley.", said Fred without any hesitation, holding out his hand.
"Fred Weasley.", George said, smirking and holding out his hand. The boy stared at them for a moment as if he were seeing double (which he was) and finally shook there hands.
"Lee Jordan.", he said. "So you guys are identical twins, I'm guessing?", Lee said.
"Yup.", they said at once.
"I've never met twins before.", said Lee, "Can you read each others minds?" They were on the verge of saying yes when a burly boy burst in.
"Oi Jordan, what's this doing in my trunk? I know it's yours!", the boy yelled holding out a dead tarantula.
"Ohhhh errrr, that's mine, ummm, how did that get there?", he asked unconvincingly. The boy just glared at him, tossed him the dead tarantula and stomped away. The moment the boy left Lee burst out laughing. "I-I put that in- in his trunk!", Lee gasped with laughter. "Did you see the look on his face?", howled Lee. Fred and George glanced at each other and realized maybe they had found their first friend, other than each other of course.
